A normal train is a bad idea A handmade metal cart that rides on the tracks powered by gasoline is pretty cool.

I like the base idea, but the flaw to it is that the servers will probably eventually get overflooded with everybody creating "objects" inside the server. Obviously I'm expecting that the bases don't disappear on a server restart because if it did there is no point of building one in the first place. But it would be a nice addition as long as it doesn't have any problems system wise. For the DC prevention. I do not agree with the fact that you can lose a random item, mainly because I don't know how much times I've been disconnected from a server due to connection issues, whether it was my fault or the server. I do like the idea that you stay stationary for 10 seconds or so even after you try to disconnect so that it prevents running away (don't get me wrong I never kill anybody other than people who start firing at me first). I think if the 10 second count down is not possible with Alt+F4 exits, just leave it be, and just implement the normal 10 second count down exit.

Password tents are silly, but Premade number combinations on lockers is a good idea imo. Basically render a random password that's unique for every server and make accessible lockers or safes. The person who wants to access it would need to guess the right combination (which may be difficult) or to find a random item spawn that tells you what the combination is. Its realistic, its possible, and its a good way to implement loot safes. But for the tents, i don't agree.

Actually, suppressed pistols are acutally much silent then you would really expect. Sure its not hollywood "Phew!" sound, but its more like a "fsss" sound which is actually really, really small, and you wouldn't hear it a half a kilometer away. It all depends on the gun itself though. But Silenced M9's are really actually silent. Look up any youtube video firing real guns and you'll see what I mean. Heck I'll just post a random video I found here to save your time. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ygl9YGM39Kc Also the fact that you can't use ACP45 ammo for the revolver for the Colt Government, or visaversa seems really unrealistic. A revolver using ACP45 was made for compatability purposes of this ammo type thats used in handguns, but in the game it acts like a unique ammo type. Same goes for MP5 which uses 9mm bullets which is the same ammo type as M9. I know its an engine limitation from the original ARMA but I'm sure there are mods that work around this so its still possible to fix this in DayZ. Also along with an ability to "refill" your magazine with bullets by taking two half filled magazines and combining would also be a nice addition.

yeah i would actually like this. The main problem with the tent right now is that its server sided making it not usable in other servers. And about server hopping tents, what happens when a player spawns right on top of you? Doesn't the new player's spawn get slightly moved to the side? Same can probably happen for tents. Although yeah I agree it might still be difficult if there was only a small "flat" land where you could place a tent, and two people placed it on the same place. Personally I wouldn't mind if my tent disappears in that situation since its really unlikely.

I half agree with you Doktor, in most cases where you could do all those fancy killing tricks, its just easier to shoot a bullet into their backs.

I still don't know why DayZ zombies can walk through closed doors. I mean, in the original ARMA2, AI soldiers surely didn't walk through closed doors right?

I like it. Instead of killing them I could tranquilize them and run off, or loot just the beans and run off. Everybody is happy

I'm pretty sure hovering over will not work due to the engine. What they could do is make a 100%transparent background Debug Monitor on top of the Blood and Temperature and put the numbers of them there instead.

The only thing I'm ever bothered by about zombie spawns is that once I clear an area out a few minutes later they are there again. Maybe make zombies spawn outside of towns and make them head toward a town or something in that sense.

wait, can't you put it in your backpack anyway right now?

I just want the tent to be something actually useful. Any type of tent releated ideas that improve the usage of tents are welcome.

How the hell does a cigarette lit up an area? LOL It lits up a face when you inhale but nothing more. because its a game

I need the handscan personally only because I play with my friends and I need to know which person is who. If some sort of group system is implemented I wouldn't need it anymore.
