I agree that food is at times very easy to find, but as a word of "realism" it would be rather easy to walk into a home and at least be able to find one can of canned food. or some form of soda. These are rather plentiful items for a reason because they are everywhere in real life. it's realistic to assume that even a few weeks, months even, after a zombie outbreak that there would be some supplies still left in houses.

No, you miss the point. the temperature gauge isn't how you "feel" it is your core temperature. you get sick when you get too cold, not just when you "feel" cold. What he's saying is getting tipsy in a rainstorm makes you a bit more susceptible to colds because it removes warmth from your insulated core and places it in your capillaries in the skin thus making your overall warmth decrease. Also this makes it easier for your blood to be cooled, your skin acting much like a heat-sink at this point. So again, you are misinformed about basic human anatomy and that (drinking for warmth) is a bad idea. However, alcohol's use as a pain-reliever and disinfectant is a good reason to have alcohol.

I for one, am loving the new releases with sickness, temperature, etc. But one thing I was somewhat hoping to see would be a very touchy subject for some. As this is survival, survival at all costs, even killing fellow non-infected human beings, I find it remiss that this mod currently lacks cannibalism. As long as there has been the morality system, I have wondered when it would be implemented. As dastardly as it may sound, this would add an almost "unspoken" faction to the game. You would now not only have optimistic survivors and opportunistic bandits, but you would have deranged and critically brutal cannibals roaming the map. It is a very small addition that has the ability to grow with player usage, and a few sick minds. What do you, the community, and Rocket, think of this idea?

Same cars seem to wipe their inventories... which sucks for now but I imagine it'll get fixed. Also I found a busted car with like 15 FAL mags as well. I spent so long looking for a fal.

3rd person view is for scrubs. Think of all the baby bitches that would be crying even more if 3rd person was enabled on all the servers... think of the "Oh I got murdered as soon as I came around a corner" nonsense threads that would pop up... If you want an immersion mod, disable any help... keep it simple stupid... No 3rd person, no crosshairs, nothing. I like it how it is. If oyu walked up to me in real life, would you be able to look over my head and see my name? No... you'd have to ask for it... Only thing that needs fixing in my opinion is direct chat.

I agree with everyone who has some higher cognitive thought about making your own missions. This is survival... need water? Your mission is to find a coke or a lake to fill your canteen. Got everything you need? You mission is to find a car. Got a car? Find a chopper, Got a chopper? start grouping friends into a PMC group. Come on people use your goddamn imaginations.

I've survived for roughly 4 days now... Only killed one guy, fucker tried to steal my car. I'm no murderer by any means, but I do like the dynamic of roaming bandit gangs that purely rape and pillage to rape and pillage. It isn't for me, but I can survive whilst it's going on. I would suggest to the players of DayZ that wish to reform "civil" society, possibly more than one group so we could have possibility of faction warfare, to become a policing body, either killing or "incarcerating" bandits. Incarceration would be like revoking their guns for a time while they play "medic" to get their humanity back positive... reforming them to rely on others for a time being. It would be dangerous shit mind you... and anytime you take your eye off them they could snap and kill you... but it's just a fun suggestion.
