I'd like to tack on a suggestion to this (even though the first one is a myth) 'Containerize' fireplaces/space heaters in buildings so you can add firewood to wood stoves or fireplaces and set them on fire. This would slowly warm up the building itself and not just the area directly in front of the fireplace, to tie in with 6 make it heat up faster if you close all the doors, and if windows are ever made close-able/breakable add that in as a factor too. Of course this would mark the building (Smoke, to a limited extent light) as having activity but that's the risks you take with fire. Even allow cooking in this manner (something else: Fish+Stick as a means of cooking the whole fish).

Glorious! And they're going to 'nerf' it even further in the next update? Kamenka here I come.

No power, so cellphone towers won't work (if there are any in Chenarus). No power, so internet servers are down, so no internet. There's ways to charge your cellphone even without a power grid, so you'd have pretty much camera and maybe an electronic note pad, oh, and a clock. *tosses phone and picks up a box of shotgun slugs*

Mods will come, more than likely not until after Release.

Pretty sure it's against the terms of service currently. Battle Eye and VAC are the current Antihacks in use at the moment. When private servers are available this may change as it did with the mod.

He says 'Sentry Removal', I hear 'Zombie Removal'.

I see no buckle/clasp for that, how does it lock?

The Civilian Marksmanship program offers M1s chambered for .308/7.62x51, I would hope they go with these unless they plan to include other rifles chambered in 30-6.

There's a couple I can think of off the top of my head, Chloroform and Ether. I think Chloroform has been mentioned in the past by the devs as a planed less-than-lethal attack.

Ducktape + Rag. Or two rags.

I thought that was a bit much too, but I've only got experience on the CAD side of things. I could probably 'pump out' a building in about a week, but that'd just be a floor plan and side views. It'll probably take them longer to get it to actually work with all the tiny details and texturing, not to mention loot locations and the like.

*Ignores the flames* Well most of the books that have been added are public domain, I've no idea if any communism books are public domain now a days or who 'owns' the rights to them so to speak (I mean that'd be ironic if someone bought the rights to a book about communism). They probably also didn't add it out of 'fairness' or just to avoid controversy.

It was suppose to be released last Wednesday, they said something about the stable release being an 'older build' than what they had on internal but they were going to release it anyway. I guess they delayed that. Read something else about how they would push the update 'when its ready' rather than waiting for the next Wednesday, but that post might have been talking about experimental, which had it's own problems I believe. If we don't hear anything else I'd say probably this coming Wednesday.

You need to break up your suggestions into bite sized chunks. Some things you've said will never happen, such as NPCs. Some things have been suggested before many times. The weapons i'm not going to touch as variety is the spice of life, but they want the majority of ranged weapons to be civilian ones. As for coral reefs and sharks and scuba. I see no logical reason for this, at least with the current map. Chenarus is located on the 'Green Sea' in the Armaverse, who's real life counterpart would either be the Black Sea (most obvious) or the Caspian Sea. While as I Hawaiian I know sharks go wherever the hell they please, they're not likely to be in these locations, along with tropical coral fish. Sure there's crab and lobster, but you'd use traps for those, not go diving and spend a lot of calories and equipment. Not to mention that water's probably fucking cold, not worth the effort to try and spear a couple fish or grab some crabs. I believe parachutes have been mentioned. In the mod you got one automatically when you jumped out of an aircraft past a certain height and then it would despawn. In the SA it would more than likely be something rare you'd have to loot and have one use and take up a bit of inventory or a bag/vest slot.

Never saw the journel myself in the mod. I think this was a concept to sort of have a way of seeing what your 'mentality' was. IE if you were KOSer you'd get that picture pretty quick.

Pretty much what this guy said, you can't hunt very well with a pistol (There are exceptions but that's mostly to kill/scare off an attacking animal. You don't go into the woods with a Glock expecting to come home with food). Pistols are more for defense (and as said, are harder to legally obtain in most countries), and if you have a hunting rifle or shotgun you have your home defense gun right there without an additional purchase.

You do know Hypothermia is when you're too cold right? Hyperthermia is when you're too hot.

'Issue' solved. OP banned.

I'm pretty sure Admins will be able to ban and set up a white list, aside from that I don't think they'll be able to do much that a public server admin can't do, so I doubt things like time acceleration will be in. The wording about player slots on private shards was 'they must have the same amount as public servers, so currently that's 40 slots. For price? No clue, I'd say at least the same as public servers are currently. I'd search for and post the link to the post that has shows the info that's already available but I'm tired and about to go to bed.

Something I'd like to suggest for vehicles is being able to shift gears and use the parking break, or actually needing to do so. IE you could park at the top of a hill, gas the engine a little to get you moving downhill and turn off the engine and silently coast down to the bottom of the hill and keep rolling till gravity takes it's toll. Or alternately put a vehicle in drive and it'll keep going forward at about 10-15MPH. Could do this to recreate the 'Ambush' scene from Super Troopers (since DayZ already has a history of people hiding in the trunk of cars :P) EDIT I also suggest this so we actually have variable speeds, not just full speed and stop. While I mastered taking the Bus through Vybor at high speed while being shot at with AS50s I'd much rather be able to go slow without having to keep tapping W and S at different intervals (don't have a throttle... :( )

Game Breaking means that the game is LITERALLY unplayable. You can still play even with these 'cheaters'. The problem in that respect is with the player and not the game. There would be no fair way to 'solve' this 'problem'. If the only way they can PVP is with an AKM decked to the gills and a pack full of drum clips they're only hurting themselves in the long run. It does not count as cheating, at worst it's poor sportsmanship or being lazy. Hacking yourself a fully kitted M4 and infinite Ammo is cheating. Duping gear so you and your buddies have 20 tents full of Guns and Body Armor to run back to when you die is cheating. Cheating does not break the game. It's annoying yes, but the game as a whole still functions. Running around an airfield on an un/underpopulated server to get the 'best' gear then going to a nearly full server to PVP is a dick move, game still functions, the world still turns. Man/Woman up, stick to your morals and continue to play fair, or take the easy way out and play like a dick.

I don't think you know what 'Game Breaking' means. Game breaking would be something like weapons not working at all, falling through terrain constantly to your death, or zombies and players being invisible. Or even more apt, unexplained and and unavoidable CTD bugs.

I like the idea of restraining zombies, but 'leashing' or tethering is something that usually winds up buggy as fuck in a lot of games. If it could work it would be a good idea. Zombies guarding your farm or base, or even using zombies to attack someone's base ala Walking Dead. Load em up in a truck and push em out the back after cutting their hands free.
