Why do people want to make shotguns rare? 12 gauge is the most common ammunition in farm areas (aside from .22lr) and remington 870's are cheap as hell and manufactured all over the world (under different brand names) In a perfect world 12gauge would be made into a generic ammunition (with 8 shells taking up one space because 8 shells weigh about 350 grams) and single shot, double barreled and sawed-off shot guns would be added to the game.

That doesn't come up for me unless I search for something else. The flaregun used for that was loaded with a cartridge full of nails, fired from less than a meter away and the shooter was lucky the gun didn't explode in his hand. But I was wrong, considering there are zombies running around a home loaded ammo type for a flare gun wouldn't be farfetched.

+1 for flareguns But they shouldn't be weapons, just google 'redneck shoots self with flare gun' and you'll get the idea.

Please read an entire thread before posting.

For realism sake it would have to be blood or tissue samples collected from zeds. How the scientists collect it is another large problem. You can't have AI guarded areas and you can't have weapons free areas because both are a creative PK's wet dream. My solution would be once a player collects XXX samples they can create a crate in a large open area. At 6am the next morning that crate will be converted into a crate of random military supplies. This would be to simulate a helicopter arriving and swapping the goods. Eventually it would be cool to actually have an invincible helicopter arrive and hover for a minute over the crate at 6am for visual and gameplay awesomeness. Edit: A specific time like 6am may not be such a great idea. But you get the gist, players should have to guard their crate for a certain amount of time.

People Are Food Too: A Case for Cannibalism! I agree cannibalism would be cool, but next time use search.

Extra textures for the models wouldn't increase the mod size that much and they could remain optional. With bump and specular channels it isn't hard to make a model look very different.

Not so. Especially if you take the first shot. It's all well and good that you one shotted the dude with the sweet NVG's from 300m away' date=' but now a horde of zombies is running at you because your CZ550 has some sort of zombie mating call muzzle brake. Hanging out in the most dangerous areas of the map with nobody to watch your back is easy?

Borrow from 'The Book of Eli' eating too much human meat gives you the shakes.

First Post and Epic saga: Started my zombie adventure by spawning east of a gnarly town with smokestacks. I ain't afraid of zombies so I fired some rounds into the air to let them know I was coming but this proved to be a dumb idea because shortly afterwards I got rushed by 3 zig zagging zombies. After dispatching the zombies like a pro I did a little dance around the backyard I was in. Just as I was finishing my dance there was a loud crack and a dust cloud picked up next to me. I stopped and stood there wondering what it was when there was another crack and I was on the ground bleeding, I swore and crawled to a low concrete wall while spamming the bandage button. After tactically crying behind the wall for about 5 minutes I figured the danger was past, no sniper could possibly wait that long. So I stood up and wandered towards a house, I got as far as the doorstep before getting launched backwards by another shot. As I lay on the ground thinking about my short DayZ experience I heard footsteps approaching and a guy with a bolt-action rifle rounded the corner. At that point I realised I wasn't quite dead just grievously injured, I unloaded my makarov into and around the assailant and lol'd heartily as he fell. I bandaged myself and ate 9 tins of his food. With 1980 blood and still having crazy visuals I wandered into a forest. I spent 2 hours walking around that forest having open eye hallucinations, getting the shakes, playing with glow sticks, listening to weird industrial music and collapsing in a heap every couple of minutes. Sound familiar? This game should be called "Rave Simulator." I soon got sick (actually felt ill) of the trippy visual effects in the woods so I gave up. But that was okay! Because next time I logged on I had 12000 health and was starving to death. I resorted to banditry, shot the first player I saw and washed down my stolen beans with a big cup of sea water. Fast forward three hours and I have an AK and a bunch of sweet stuff, I don't do victory dances and I only occasionally fire into the air. Basically a cold hearted super bandit. TL : DR DayZ is awesome and I hope Mr.Rocket has something equally awesome planned for the millions of dollars he will soon be earning. Maybe he could buy Pripyat? The question: How do I steal backpacks or guns? I have shot guys with huge backpacks and awesome guns but I can only take their guns half the time and I can't work out how to put on their backpacks (which is the only reason I shot them) it makes me sad to leave stuff lying around.

My reign of terror is over. A grenade I threw glitched through the floor and killed me, then my game crashed and now my character is permadeaded because every time I join a server ARMA crashes. Such is life in the zone.

Thanks, I look forward to having more space to hoard my canned goods until I find some damn matches and I can get some meat. I have found more assault rifles and crossbows in peoples homes than matches, no wonder chernarus is so messed up.
