This, man. Yeah that would be really cool. And people owning helicopters would need to be even more careful with their fuel.

Thanks for all the guns, we left you a small surprise :) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KLHzrVnFwzk

You can carry them, it works good.

Weather is randomized? Good to know! Yeah got 2 packs of flares + chemlights :P

Yeah its barely playable for me. Wasnt like that last night :/

Damn venthos, thats great news for the server. When paypal donation will be in place, I'll be glad to send you a few bucks for you contribution and involvement in making this game so great.

I support the motion of having to find more actively for our food and drinks. This would really fit the direction the mod is taking I think. Supermarkets would get even more dangerous, forcing players to stack some food in their tents. I love it when my indactors are flashing red with no food/drinks on me, those are intense moments.

This patch note is pretty awesome. Good fucking job Venthos for releasing this so quickly. Props to you man. EDIT: I think you forgot to mention that you removed waypoints :P

Hey Venthos, I just wanna inform you that tent duping is still possible. PM if you want more info.

This sounds like a really good idea. We need more use for the useless toolbox. I know you mentioned that you were considering the need of a toolbox to repair vehicules and stuff, I totally support this idea.

Well, to be honnest I find bikes to be one of the most useful mean of transportation when playing alone. It makes it easy to go stealthy, good offroad speed, easy to hide aaand doesnt required any gaz. The server we used to play on had many different spawn locations for bikes (I dont know the exact number). Mainly in small villages and small random area. It would allow to walk for a long period of time and then randomly find one. The feeling is great. Considering how easy they are to break, and how hard they are to maintain, I dont think it would be a game breaker to maybe double the actual count. 24 hours seems a bit low. It means that if you cant log in for more than one day, you might end up losing your bike. Maybe relocate bikes that havent been touch for a week?

I suggested it in one of my previous post but what are your thoughts on having a few more spawn points for bikes?

I can see how people could abuse that kind of situation. I guess you will have to judge by yourself whether someone is trying to abuse the system or not. The cool thing about a private hive is that someone who cheats/exploits can quickly be spotted by the community.

If you are willing to do this then this is good news, but how would that work? Will starting a new game conflict the data or you could revert the player using an older backup ?

People saying leave it as is are people who didnt experienced anything unfair with the actual system. I would of said the same thing yesterday before it killed me for nothing. Losing all your gear right now when you are playing legit is really frustrating. Even more frustrating than just facing an opponent who ALT F4 in your face. You need to change the mechanic otherwise lot of people will eventually get frustrated with this broken mechanic. Your second idea isn't bad either. Anything that would not insta kill you in a situation where you dont deserve it works for me.

This, I think could work much better. Cause right now, I'll be honnest and say that it seriously affects my experience. My friend and I don't even want to risk and shoot a zombie in case it happens again. Anyway, thanks for your quick response as always.

I must say, I'm not really satisfied with the way the combat log system works right now. Me and my friend have experienced several client crashes tonight, client freezes and need to force restart (I never had any trouble of that sort with vanilla dayz). The last one was fatal for me. I crashed a few seconds after shooting a zombie, got killed during the deconnection process.That same exact situation happened to my friend earlier but he got lucky and went out of combat right before his client crashed. I thought your fix was a neat idea at first, but now that I see it in action, it seems like it causes way more problem than anything else. You might want to consider the usual clone thing they use on other private hives.

Alright I wanna report a few possible bug/exploits. First I might I found a way too refill mags using a tent and server restart exploit. Basically I moved 3 (almost) empty G17 mags in my tent a few minutes before the server restart. I took them back afterwards and they were all full. Which leads me to my second point. A few minutes before that, I was moving a lot of stuff back and forth from my inventory/backpack to my tent. After a while, I noticed a slow down while transfering stuff. Some kind of server lag. I first got a mission error saying stuff about modifying mission file and then my client crashed. When I logged back in, all the gear I add moved to my backpack/inventory was gone. I pretty much lost all of my best gear because of that. I don't know if its related to the way you autosave the vehicules/tents. It might have nothing to do with that either. Just reporting in.. I never add that kind of error before when interacting with a tent.

Really like your plans for heli crashes.

I would definitely want to see that in your mod :P

Hey man, love your server. I've been playing there with my friends for the past 3 days and I can officially call it home. A few suggestions I wanna throw in : 1. Improve scoreboard mechanic 1pt per zombie kills, 2pts for headshots 50pts per survivor kills 0pts per heroe kills (?) 100 pts per bandit kills 5 pts per hour alive 2. Bicycle tires A new item, takes 2 slots (instead of the usual 6 for car wheels). It would balance out the fact that bikes are easy to break and got no room for backup wheels (oh and maybe add a little more spawn points for bikes :P) 3. GPS waypoints I have no idea if this can be achieved at all but it would be neat if waypoints were allowed with the use of a GPS (credits theRasak) 4. Death messages This is probably a matter of personal tastes by I find it nice to have to go and study the body to get a kill confirmation. To me, death messages remove a bit of immersion. On a side note, if its possible to customize the default study body message, adding a hint of how much time the dead body has been there for would be great. Nothing too precise but give a way for players to know if the corpse has been there for 5 minutes or more like 12 hours. 5. Zombies and stuff. Maybe make military zombies stronger, hit you for harder, more bleed proc etc. Anything that makes it more difficult to loot high reward area. Add randomness to zombies, some faster/stronger, some weaker. This would make zombies a little more scarier IMO. Thats it for now, do whatever you want with my ideas. I know you are really busy right now and probably have higher priorities on your list. Thanks and good job again for your great work!
