All in all I think it looks a great deal better than the mod, some of you think it looks like crap or just looks like the mod and it makes me wonder if we watched the same videos... I will say however that I do not like the "new" cross hairs and would have rather they emulated iron sights instead. Cross hairs like that, + , have a very arcade feel to me. Also I really hope that the bike helmets dont give too much of an advantage, the last thing I want to see now that we can customise our clothing is every player being "forced" to wear the same clothing. (Yes I know I dont have to wear it but if it gives an advantage you know people will). Those are my only real gripes other than that I have liked what I've seen so far.

yeah the cpu's im looking at (only FM1 slots at Fry's) are between 2.7-3.0 quad cores. I can run DayZ on my current setup but lke I said its not near as smooth as I'd like. I did a little more research and I think, if I understand it right, that even just 1 of the ati radeon 4850's would be better than the amd radeon 6530, least thats the way it looked to me but im only a half tech kinda guy, i know a bit but not a lot lol. Now I need to find out if my motherboard is crossfire ready, and theres not a lot of info out there on it.

So my current pc has an AMD Radeon HD 6530D graphis card. My old computer, whose motherboard got fried, had dual ATI Radeon HD 4850 graphics cards crossfired. So I am wondering if the two 4850's together is better than the 6530? I know none of these are impressive graphic cards but I am poor and trying to improve my gameplay a bit seeing as im only getting about 10 fps in game. My Specs: CPU: AMD A6-3620 APU with radeon hd graphics (2.2 ghz) (FM1 Slot) Graphics: AMD Radeon hd 6530D RAM: 4 gigs Motherboard: amd A6-3600 with Radeon™ HD 6530D Was thinking of upgrading the cpu to a 2.7-3.0 ghz processor once I get a little extra spending money, or should I go for a better graphics card first?

Couldnt find anything about the background of the virus myself, if you have a link please share id love to read it. However my point against player controlled zombies still stands and I still dont like the idea.

This ^^. I'm all for a player that has been killed by a zombie turning into a npc zombie. However seeing that zombies pretty much run on instinct and have no thought process, a player controlled zombie would be unfeasable because by the very nature of the idea you are adding intelligence (sometimes:p) to something that shouldn't be intelligent. Players controlling zombies would try to flank, go prone, seek cover behind walls from incoming fire, all things that a zombie would not do. Just my two cents.

Oil Rigs Coal Mines Parking Garage under Cherno Hotel Soccer field/stadium Prison (Shawshank-esque) Nuclear Power Plant Cooling Tower Mall (just think this would be a nice nod to the genre) And of course: Something akin to the paris catacombs

I too would like to see a river or two that would make boats a little more usefull. Even a couple streams here and there, I refuse to believe that a forested area like Chernarus has no flowing water... Also I'd like the map size to be increased a bit, make vehicles (especially heli's) mean something, with new areas to more evenly distribute the loot table across the map. Lets take endgame away from stary/nwaf. Lastly I'd like them to do away with the pooping idea... I mean going for realism is one thing but some things should just be left out, it is a game afterall. My two cents. EDIT: Oh and sewers under Cherno and Elektro!

Cool Beans, thanks. Really wish I had found out about this game months ago but am glad i did before stand alone came out. Rocket and the rest of the crew have done an amazing job thus far.

If any of these have been suggested I apologize. I dont want to spend an hour searching for each topic. #1 Camo Netting: In arma 2 when you deploy a mobile base with a striker a camo netting tent is created around the vehicle. This would be a great way to better hide vehicles in the woods from those pesky heli's. #2 Craftables: Tree Stands - like the ones used by hunters, basically a small seat in a tree, perfect for scouts. Barracade Wall - using scrap metal, wood, and a tool box one could construct a section of pieced together wall. usefull for base protection. Pitfall Trap - A leaf covered hole in the ground to trap animals/players, would be detectable with a good eye and be able to be climbed out of if player hasnt broken a leg. #3 Quivers: Really wanted to love the crossbow but hate that every bolt takes up an inventory slot.... #4 More Tents: in addition to the pup tents in game there could be anything from 2 man dome tents to full sized military medical tents. #5 Vehicle Storage: Remove passengers being able to loot cars while riding shotgun. You should only be able to get into a vehicles intentory from the trunk/bed/storage area. I don't know about you but I dont keep my AS50 in the glovebox. #6 Predators: Rare but agressive animals. Bears, Cougars, Wolves, Chupacabre's :P #7 Social Interaction: Wide category, anything from drinking animations, playing a guitar around the campfire, playing poker, etc. It's a survival game but if you dont have some fun now and then you'll go nuts. #8 Voice Chat: Whisper, Say, and Shout. each having a different range of how far someone can hear you when using a mic/typing. These are just my opinions on what could make the best game I've ever played a little funner. If there is a reason why something couldnt work please feel free to state why.

Not sure how I feel about the body armor idea. This is a zombie survival game not a pvp deathmatch ala BF3. BUT I'd be ok with it if it had restrictions suggested earlier, less storage capacity and slower movement due to weight.

I agree on diffferent sized tents/containers. In the DayZ trailer on this web site there is a camp with a couple dome tents. how come those arent in game. (I am new to the community and maybe they were removed for specific reasons idk).

At first I thought he ment a quick travel system, i.e. teleporting, but I see what he means. I kind of wondered about this myself because in one of his standalone presentations Rockets mentions that he would like to do other maps in the future, DayZ America, DayZ Kiwi (rainbows everywhere and people dancing :P) I would love for these to all be on the same server so my survivor is the one exploring it all and not two or three seperate survivors but then how do you get from russia to the lower 48 or even New Zealand in a post apacolyptic time without taking a loooong ass boat ride and I doubt anyone will be piloting large commercial aircraft with enough fuel to fly across the pacific...maybe stoping off at DayZ Hawaii ;) I'd love to see it but I dont know how they'd do it.

I was homeless for a couple years and my friend and I had dug a hole into a small hillside in a seattle park and set a small dome tent up with a camo tarp over it. Was there for about 9 months before I found housing. The city never knew we were there. Also agree that tents should despawn at player death. It would cut duping down a ton as well.

yeah, i even used the "listen to code" option and still didnt work, gonna give it a couple more trys. lol
