Awesome... Just Awesome i really cant wait!

All im saying is that for a fun gaming prospective no one will physically go round filling up fuel stations, chore's with no rewards is a crap way to design a game and no one will play that role. maybe one or two people will a couple of times but then they would abandon that role. plus think about how much the fuel stations hold, ones cars worth on a popular server by the time you have finished your rounds you will have to do it all again lol no fun what so ever. like i have said before the more realism in this game the less fun it is going to be. i do like the idea of a depo having an unlimited amount in it to go along with the slow regenerating stations as it would give people something to fight over and have a purpose for keeping it to your clan/guild/group

Also having the ability to siphon gas from downed choppers, wrecked vehicles and maybe even boats would be cool, siphoning should take a wee while too and siphoning kits should be very rare so grifers don't take advantage of it.

DayZ is not a Life Simulator! More Realism = Shit Game! (With the exception of a few new ideas)

Im not getting on at you here specifically but some people need to remember this is a game not a sim, having more realism takes more way from the game than actually adding to it your idea for a stamina bar that every action takes away from it would make the game a chore to play. Try to imagine running from one area of the map to another. not only would it take forever to do so but you would probably end up not being able to run from zombies in a desperate situation :(

This made me fall over pmsl!!

Like i said at the top, Having gas stations and fuel dumps have limited amount of fuel (enough to fill on car tank) would make it harder for people to get fuel, as the more people with cars the more empty these will be, having them fill up at a very slow rate would mean that it is possible to have your car on the road but it will be risky as other people will be looking to get the fuel too the ability to guard at gas station makes it a fun competitive addition to the game, especially for big groups with multiple vehicles i do like the idea of being able to siphon gas from other players vehicles would be cool so you can get more gas and not have to have another vehicle to tend to for the reasons above lol

Could you honestly see other people jumping into a truck, filling it with fuel and driving round to gas stations and fuel dumps to refill them for other people? Not only is that unrealistic in a zombie Apocalypse but would make the game harder and less fun for other people. If we did only have gas in the 1 area like a depo. having to run all that way to get gas then going back again to fill up your car would be less fun for those players and would take away the fun part of trying to get a vehicle. It would be a good idea for a life sim or something like the Grand Theft Cherno but for a zombie apocalypse would make no sense.

The problem with that is, no one would fill the gas stations for other people so once they are empty they would stay that way, plus some groups would just guard the depo and stop everyone else from getting any. You would be relying on someone else doing everyone a favor which just would not happen

Sorry if someone has suggested this before but to be frank i have better things to do that to read through 375+ threads. At the moment (in the Mod) Cars a rare and fuel is in abundance. I feel it would be much more fun to have more cars in game (as there is almost as many cars as there are people in the world) but have fuel a much harder product to come by. The way i was thinking about doing this (to keep the game fun and competitive) would be to have Gas/Petrol stations and Fuel tanks have a limited amount of fuel in them (maybe 1 full car tanks worth). This would mean that if you are in a group that had more than one vehicle you would have to divide the fuel up between yourselves (and would also make Jerry Cans much more useful). This would also mean you would have to plan out your route to your destination to save fuel. It would also mean that just because you have fixed up a vehicle you wont necessarily be able to use it. I was also thinking that the Fuel in the Gas/Petrol Stations and Fuel Tanks would regenerate over time, slowly. This would add to the competitive aspect of the game as groups can try and guard fuel until they have enough to move on. In my opinion this would add a huge fun and competitive streak to the game from something as simple as this. Let me know what you think. Cheers, 4Dyce PS. If this HAS been covered before please don't bitch and moan about it. Thanks
