Why can't you use macro keys for running anymore? Before 0.62 I had "Shift + W" (or double tap W + hold it) on "G9" on my Logitech G510. Suddenly with 0.62 that doesn't work anymore. Does anyone know a way to make makro keys usable for running (long distances) again? I don't mean putting a weight an a key or using duct tape or something else.

It's more an MMO than a Call-of-Duty-shooter.

In DayZ the bodies have no inertia. That's why they (can) run unrealistically (concerning zig zag). In For Honor (I don't play it since the beta is over) the bodies have a good simulation of inertia. But we all know that DayZ's character feeling will never be like this. Since OFP->Arma->DayZ the bodies are just a mount for the weapon. That's why also melee "combat" will always feel awkward in DayZ since the engine was never made for it.

I don't see how this should be any kind of cheating. Every MMO has autorun. Then they should at least provide an game-internal option/key for autorun so that this feature is available to everyone. And I don't know why DayZ ignores macro keys, I just noticed that they can't be used anymore since 0.62.

Beside the fact that this thread will be spammed away instantly by "really" important suggestions... Please add a cancel-button for the loading screen to return back to the main menu. In 50%+ of all cases you try to join a server, the game gets stuck in the loading screen, that can only be cancelled by tabbing to the desktop and and the whole game the hard way.

eating is a waste of time so i never i eat instead i try to look for weapons to kill other players you know killing is so much fun it is much more fun than using interpunctuation and you know what especially i like to kill people who use punctuation to make their texts readable for others i really hate those idiots who try to avoid to make their text look like retarded vomit lol this is all so much fun lol i really know that the community appreciates unreadable text you have to struggle through like barbed wire and further i know that everyone considers me to be a cool checker when vomiting out chunks of unformatted letters

i also never use punctuation because i think and by the way i think that others think the same is stupid and unnecessary anyway who would use such an old fashioned and overestimated way of expressing your thoughts to others we all should eventually overcome the idea that structurizing thoughts and expression helps others to understand you but maybe you think that vomiting such an unformatted kiddyshit on others is appreciated by them and also pressing an punctuation key wastes precious time that can be used to spit out more unformatted and unreadable text presenting a structurized text to others makes them think that you are not cool and we all want to be seen as cool checkers by others dont we i just add some more words here because it doesnt affect the rest of the spit out text and reading unformatted piles of letters is what all forum users like most i an very sure that you highly agree

With the new public character handling it is almost impossible to continue with your character when you log in after you have logged out with it. Practically each time you log in you have to start from scratch. I hope this will be fixed very soon.

Oh, I didn't know that there are only 100 DayZ players worldwide so that a single server is just sufficient.

Did you get your keyboard for free because it misses all interpunction keys? Why do people think that vomiting such an unformatted pile of text could be interpreted as "cool" by the reader?

A keyboard or mouse with macro keys.

I know that it it's not going to happen. But somehow the zombies are just annoying and rediculous. It's still in every bit of DayZ's DNA that this engine was never made to handle melee combat. Remove the zombies and spend server power on 100 players. Without zombies, the game wouldn't loose a tiniest bit of its intensity. Anyway, the zombies are just an "excuse" why the society has fallen apart and everybody fights everybody. Don't try to make it an sophisticated "survival simulator". How much survival simulation can it be sitting in a comfortable chair in a warm room with a toilet, fridge and soft bed in your reach? When you want to survive a long time, you just need to draw back into the woods, gathering some food and fire wood and avoid any contact to human players. But, yeah, for being bored, I don't need a computer. Let it just be an open world shooter (with having to care about food and temperature). That's the core of it.

I suggested this, not because zombies are per se bad or don't fit into an apocalyptic survival setting. The DayZ zombies are just so terribly bad and annoying (at least still) because the Arma engine was never made for melee combat.

In Soviet Russia ladder climbs YOU.

A THING THAT EVERYBODY CAN USE LEGALLY AND AS INTENDED BY THE DEVS IS NOT A CHEAT. IT MAY BE UNREALISTIC, BUT IT IS NO CHEAT AND NO EXPLOIT. Holy shit. One day even the last person should have noticed that. And stop talking about "realistic survival simulator" (everybody, not especially you). What "realistic survival simulation" can it be sitting in a comfortable chair in a warm room, with a fridge full of food and a toilet in direct reach and not feeling pain and exhaustion...

When I play DayZ, the least thing I want to have are distracting sound sources. I always turn off TV and everything else and raise the PC speakers' volume. LISTENING to the DayZ environment is as important as watching: zombies and footsteps of players etc.

We only need two key for all stances. One "up", one "down". Depending on the current stance, the up-key goes one stance up, the down-key goes one stance down. The up-key can also be used for jumping (anyway only possible from standing stance). MAYBE a third key is needed for "lie down immediately", for hitting the ground immediately from standing stance.

Suggesting this for ages: One view only: 3rd person (switchable to 1st). While in 3rd person you can't do anything but moving (no crosshair, no inventory or vicinity interaction, no bandaging, no reloading, no shooting, no crafting, no nothing). The screen may also fade black for a few seconds when switching view modes, to make it a tactical decision in advance whether you go somewhere in 1st or 3rd person view. With this we also don't need any useless adjustments to the 3rd person camera to make "shooting from the hip" almost impossible. 3rd person may not be "realistic", but 1st person in video games doesn't feel realistic either, since something undefinable is missing in comparison to "real life's first person view". Complaining about that others behind a wall may use 3rd person view as a cheat or something... YOU can do this too. This complaint is as useless as demands for more powerful weapons... the first thing that happens is that these weapons are used AGAINST those who demand them.

Has anyone seen a double barrel shotgun recently? Where do they spawn mostly?

@MaxTheSurvivor: thanks. I had found one meanwhile. Anyway, they seem to be buggy - the legs are black (untextured) while you wear them Apocalyptic housewife:

It's not about the drybag-backpacks, it's about the waterproof bags that can be put into backpacks. I had a pristine waterproof bag in a pristine taloon backpack and went into a pond to get rid of hyperthermia. The buckshots within became wet. Bug?

Waiting for bicycles to be introduced... Weapons: silenced Glock and MP-133 shotgun with pistol grip. Are there no BLUE canvas shorts? I've been searching for hours.

I strongly vote for new server filter options: * 1st/3rd person view * private/public hive * maybe more like defining a daytime interval (show only e.g. 8:00 - 16:00, exclude fast-time servers, etc) I wonder, why this hasn't been introduced yet, along with the existing filter options. Further, the red marker line should span the whole line.
