Nasty Wet Smear

No matter what your playstyle, keep at it! It's well worth it.

Playing Chariots of Fire and clingging to each other in a wild, passionate hug when you meet?

... Did you say you're a medic?? And you're suggeting that 2/3rds of the blood in a human body would be required to leave before you PASSED OUT?? :O Heaven help the man who has you working on him in the field. :(

I do not feel that more weapons are needed, by any stretch of the imagination. Maybe ousting some of the weapons in favour of ones more fitting to the situation, yes, but by no means do we need more.

Because I have too.

I'd like the opposite... Some fashion in which friends can't agree outside the game to meet up. ;) It adds that fear factor, that desperation, that lonley, isolated, lost feeling... And makes actually finding your friends/friendly players an amazing experince. I know it can't be done, but, hey, a man can dream.

You... Don't seem to be getting it. As I said, I don't want to team up with other players at all, and I don't want them to want to team up with me. I'd like a Single Player version. Maybe I'm not explaining it easily enough for you: "No other players in the game"... IE: I wont team up with them, they wont team up with me. I'm not, as you seem to think, bitter about them not playing with me (wwaah waahh ;) ), I don't want them there at all. I know it's sometimes hard for the current "MP is everything" mindset to understand, but... Well... I don't need other players in order to enjoy myself. In fact, more often then not, they are just a hinderance. I'm not angry about it, otherwise I wouldn't play the MP version either. I just saw an oppertunity to mention my desire for expanding the mod to single player to help bring about a richer experince to all players,using the OP's issue and similar desire to platform it. Adding a SP would help make the mod appeal to all players, those here for the 'Battlefield with zombies' style PVP, and those here for the 'Bean eating simulator 2012' style PVE. ;) I'm far from angry, and I think I'd encourage people who only played a single player version to also play the MP version, because it can be great fun. But, like many really great game I've enjoyed, the single player would be the most alluring to me. Don't get me wrong, I wouldn't play L4D or Space Marine SP 24/7 and then call them the best bits, but, while I like having other players, the current server populations and their tendancy to grow bored and just camp good gear, or find ways to make life painful for others... Like barbwire all over every door way... Sorta kills the: "Alone and desperate to survive" feeling I so enjoyed when I loaded the game the first time. For me, the greatest experince the game ever offerd was when I first loaded up, didn't know where I was, didn't know where I was going, and had no idea what I'd do to survive. Since then I've gathered huge backpacks full of rare and useful items... But each time I've died, be it by zombie, player or random rock or staircase, the best bit has always been spawning in a random place with only the shirt on my back and starting the desperate crawl back to 'equipped well enough to survive'. Other players, for me... And this might be different for you, and that's fine... Often add nothing to that experince except mic spam, chatter and stupid behaviour. So, yeah... I'm rambling, but suffice to say, I encourage MP. I enjoy it. But I'd like a SP version to sandbox in on my own time as well. :) I'm not your enemy, trying to ruing your current experince, just someone who wants something slightly different.

Obviously items gained in single player wouldn't carry over to the Multi player. The information would be stored locally for single. I also don't feel that the multiplayer is "What this game is about", but that's obviously a matter of personal prefferences. :)

I would like to see a Single Player version as well... One that isn't produced by someone who, apparently, broke their agreement with the Mods original designer. For me, the joy of the experince is the lonley, isolated, desperate feel which is hampered by the existance of friends who want to team up and bandits who are only looking for player kills as if this were Battlefield with food. I encourage the single player version. :)

People laugh, but I look forward to being able to play this solo, or local with a private server, or on a server with reduced player numbers so that it's not 45 bandits camping spawn locations and loot points and 5 other players.

Catching rain water on your own with your hands/water bottle/face is, obviously, not going to happen... However, it wouldn't be hard to squeeze water out of your hat/shirt/pants/knickers... ... You know, if you're willing to drink the kind of stuff that would gather in your panties. ... I'd drink the stuff that gathered in YOUR panties.

Maybe he was playing ArmA II. ;)

Nothing broken about a man punching another man, resulting in said victim being knocked flat and being unable to regain his balance and strength. Doubley so when the man has been dragged One Quater of the way towards utter oblivion through other forms of misfortune first... If it helps, go cut yourself till a quater of your blood leaks onto the floor, then tell a bouncer he's just a fat coat rack and rate the resulting punch. :)

Giving one in a million zombies some more 'human' elements can be creepy... Suddenly and jarringly reminds the player that these are people and, but for the grace of God, goes thee. Maybe weeping? Begging? Confused words? The key would be not to hear it often or clearly... Make it something that a player is forced to ask themselves: "Did... I just hear that or imagine it?" Put jarringly real situations in as well. Churches should be full of the dead, as people seek religion during the final hours. Hopsitals should be blocked with the dead, undead and dying living. Maybe, through a door, a patient who can't pull themselves off the bed is devoured by a zombie? Prisons... Prisoners starved to death, maybe still twitching, in their cells. One or two infected pawing at bars as they reach out for you? People are likley to die at home, either defending it or just taken by surprise... Or suicide. Corpses in easy chairs in front of picture albums, bottles of pills and whiskey next to them, covered in their own bile and passings? Face down on desks with empty revolvers in their hands? Childrens bedrooms with soft, weeping, growling noises on the other side?... Or maybe just evidence that there really was a monster under the bed, and it happened to be Mum and Dad? Touchy subject, but if done with care, very usettling in a GOOD way. Screams of panic and "No" in the distance, cut short? Corpses more clearly... Devoured? Maybe even zombies that were clearly 'other survivors'? Backpacks (empty), weapons (ruined by rain and blood and muck) and cans of empty food tell a tale of desperation and inevitability. Traffic jams with car after card piled up, the dead still at the wheel, trapped like a delicious, fleshy sardine situation? ... Maybe.

The ladies are always talking about duplicating MY meat... But, seriously, I've had this happen. Cooked the same meat twice, causing sizzling mongolian style lamb to burst out of my backside and land in the dirt. ... Naturally, I ate it.

I'd just like to take this oppertunity to say how sorry I am that I spelt "School" "Scool"... *Rubs his forhead sadly.*

I disagree. I don't want a survival simulation ruined by 'quest' style objectives. I'd like to see a more sandbox style 'goal'... IE: "I'd like to build a cabin in the woods, surround it with barbed wire and bear traps and grow crops to wait this whole thing out".

I found this cool mod for Day Z that doesn't have a single zombie. I think it's called ArmAII.

Seen plenty of perfectly healthy people drop to the floor and be unable to stand again after a solid king hit, and I don't think their "blood" was low. I once saw a guy get taken to hopsital because he got knocked on the head with a scool lunch box. Running at full pace and taking a solid round house to the nose sounds like a "Down for the count" situation to me.

AKA: Questions you already know the answer too, but I'm too thick to find with the Search function. 1) Nothing ruins games more then other players! Players are the bane of the gaming world... Ahem, or, something along those lines. Can I play DayZ without jumping into a public server? Is there a 'solo' mode? I understand it isn't the intent of the game, but I'm curious none the less. 1A) If there is no solo play, is there an intent to add it? 2) Arma II had a very... Counter intuitive control set up. Of unique frustration for me was the inability to quickly switch bewteen weapons, enter a car, etc. Am I going to find myself hampered in my escape attempt by having to scroll through a command menu while corpses chew my limbs? 3) I love your mod and wish to subscribe to your newsletter! I -WOULD- be willing to pay for a complete version of this game, even stand alone from Arma itself. Is there any view to making this a full game? Maybe 'kickstarter' could help? That's all. Feel free to mock my ignorance, or cure me of it.

Alright, gents and ladies, you've been most kind. Like a fool with 2 buckets of acid and a bucket of water, I will try by doing! You'll recognise me in game, no doubt... I'll be the nasty, wet smear left on the ground.
