Can we just please have a simple STAT system in the menu? I think that would help add some value to life other then mad lewts. Which I think is needed. We have to find a way to simulate the instinct for survival that a human has. The more you value your virtual life in DAYZ the better the game will get. The more heart pounding zombie and human encounters will be. As long as different mechanics are added that help counter the KoS dilemma I think adding more value is necessary to making this game even better. I also like a subtle non intrusive realistic skill system. And then of course the beard idea is awesome that someone suggested in another "add more value to life thread".

I also agree that BI prices their games like Triple A titles but doesn't deliver triple A titles. That being said we all have a choice whether to purchase or not, and it seems everyone here had enough faith in them to purchase non the less.

Is that Zach Braff with a beard and mustache in your avatar? lol

Listen everyone can bitch and moan to the OP but he has a valid point. On the other hand there really isnt any point to posting this because it wont and really cant change. Not unless BI decides to invest in the creation of a more modern engine. I can only hope BI does the right thing and invest in that so that DayZ 2 can be a triple A title that skyrockets BI into the mainstream. I think they deserve that too because they are a passionate bunch. I would question their buisness/development strategy for both DayZ and Arma 3 though. Some bad decisions and empty promises were made on both accounts.

The ARMA engine is like 15 years old or something like that. It's ancient with ancient features and ancient capabilities. Even the ARMA III engine is built on top of this 15 year old core engine. I would love to see them build a new engine too. I think it's time. A lot of people will defend them on this but 15 years is a long time. I agree with you on the static-ness of the game but that probably wont change at anytime during DayZs development process. Its a core engine issue and I really hope that BIS takes the money they make from this game and starts working on a new engine. I think their loyal fans deserve as much at this point. It is almost 2014 after all and like you said, destructible environments and physics engines are becoming standard. That being said I don't agree with you on the transparency of development. No company in the world is like BIS in their interaction with their community.

server swapping deffinately can cause you to loose everything just happened to me....

No bandit skins! How is that realistic dude? I just said, the majority of heros dont wear helms and gas masks, bandits do, so that is your bandit skin right there for now.

I have been traversing the coast now for 2 days giving out water, bandages and even a pistol. (didnt give him ammo for my safety). I too am only wearing a black/white checkered shirt and a beanie. I do believe the idea of bandits usually clad in helmets and gasmasks is taking hold. Its almost as though a humanity system has created itself in game without the use of unrealistic mechanics. Kinda cool.

Am I the only one who had a saline treatment that was temporary? I got a saline IV from a friendly stranger yesterday, instant good vision. I logged in today to find my vision is blurry again. Not as white and bright but definitely blurry. Random bug/oddity or is the saline actually temporary??

Is there still no experimental servers online?

I've lost 2 characters now from server hopping! Let this be a lesson to all would be server hoppers. Like was said, it's bad mmmkay? If you server hop a lot....You're gonna have a bad time.

I think this is one of the reasons why KoS is slightly down in the SA right now. The loneliness, people get bored and dont want to kill the next person they see they want to talk about the game and shit.

Braids for woman, I like this idea but only if you have the option to shave it.

Unbelievable this dude gets 3 pages worth of discussion and people telling him its an Alpha and not to be a baby and real threads discussing ideas for mechanics and such are lost 5 pages in the thread listing because these stay on top. The problem with this community is you all spend too much time feeding the trolls.

No

Bohemia does not have shareholders. They are a private company.

LMAO that is cleverest thing I have seen on this site, R-Amen, get it? AHAAAA

Yah it looks pretty good so far. Better then ARMA III rain too which is surprising to me.

Any news on this?

A longest time lived stat....pleeeeeease!

You guys should have been covering each other while handcuffing not handcuffing at the same time or one handcuff and go clear the building. But I guess that's the military police in me.

Well in all seriousness with 5 different skin types and 5 diff starting close, we are all already clones. lol Id LOOVE to see a bigger variety of skins for players.

Wow dude, calm down. They are going to implement it soon. You know its alpha as you just said and yet you are all in a tiff.

Im all for it if it can be done.

It all comes down to realistic character building. Like others have suggested, reading books to further medical expertise, survival books, doing things. That is all 100% realistic. No one is "born" knowing how to effectively stop arterial bleeding! Trust me. I didn't know squat about Combat Application Tourniquets or pressure points before joining the military. Classes and such are way OUT. That is NOT Dayz and is overly gamey. There is no magic limiter on the knoledge I can posess and the only things limiting my physical skills are genetics and such but that can be overcome to a degree.
