There will be no Human (as in not infected/zombie) NPCs

Possibly, then again you can never be sure with chemicals. I have to agree with most of the others though, water/drink is easy enough to come by now. When they add infections it will be slightly harder, but not by much, you just won't be able to walk to a pond and drink without a chance of getting sick. I would think the salt 'filters' (if added) would only spawn on boats (both vehicles and 'buildings') rather than randomly spawn anywhere else. If you're on an island with no freshwater source that's one thing, but as I said, plenty of sources of fresh drinking water, while cool I would imagine it's expensive to have one of these kits.

Now that is rather interesting. First I've ever heard about something like that, though I wonder how 'healthy' the chemicals are for you long term...

I have a feeling 99% of thous Anti tank rounds wouldn't work...at all.

You can't easily filter seawater. There are ways to remove the salt from sea water but as of right now there's no 'filter straw' or purification tablets (I stand corrected) that will remove the salt. The simplest (and probably fastest) way to remove the salt is to boil it and collect the steam, basically requiring you to build a still. Another way would be to dig a pit, put a container in the middle, put some salt water in the pit, cover it with clear plastic with a rock in the middle and wait. That's a survival method. I think drinking seawater should be an option however, just like how eating rotten fruit is an option, you'll learn to regret it and instead start to learn where all the wells and pumps are. *EDIT* That said, there are ways you can stretch out your fresh water supply using sea water, mostly by mixing in a little salt water with your fresh water (depends heavily on the salinity levels), and also provides electrolytes in the form of salt (but not too much to the point where they dehydrate you)

Other than guns (Pretty sure the Mauser k98 has been modeled already, along the what looks like the P38) I'm not really sure WW2 gear/outfits would fit in with the setting, even Soviet stuff. Unless it was tucked into cold storage right after they captured it (Since it was the Soviets I doubt they'ed hang onto German uniforms, much less pristine uniforms. "You see that little Demetri...that is where Grandpa stabbed his first Nazi, right in the heart!")

The physical location it's based off of, IE the terrain, is located in the Czech Republic, that does not mean it is the Czech republic or they would have called it the Czech Republic instead of Chenarus. There would also wouldn't be a coastline, but rather a river and land on the other side of what is now the coastline.

They're talking about the Physical location of where Chenarus is, not the physical location where it is based on.

No point in finding a 'cure'. The remaining population is Immune to the Zombie virus, and I would think the infected are too far gone to successfully cure with medicine rather than a .22 to the back of the head. There's no 'Government' or rescuing body around to wait for rescue, this is weeks to months after the infection 'won'. It's also been stated many times that there will not be any NPCs other than zombies or animals. This game is what you make of it, if you want to remake the UN, going around giving survivors food and water and hunting down bandits, you're free to do so.

Sad to say sounds like you got scammed by some third party. Whats the exact website you bought it from (link). DayZ (Standalone) is only available on Steam, although you can buy it on Bohemia's website that gives you a Steam code. Combined Ops, which is what you need for DayZ Mod is about $25 on Steam (and a look at Bohemia's website sells the same thing for Steam). Unless you got it from either Steam or store.bistudio.com you got scammed.

Haven't done so recently, but last time I ate rotten food I survived it (barely). If you were healthy you should be 'alright', just be ready to hunt down some not rotten food and water and grab a book to recover.

You might be trying to play one of the mods of the Mod (Overpoch, Epoch, ect) without having installed them first. They are free (the mods and the Mod itself). Aram2 and OA are all that should be needed for Vanilla DayZ (which servers for are rather rare these days from my understanding)

That sucks...Oh well.

It's Chenarus, not Russia, while it is next to Russia and formerly of the Soviet Union, its it's own country with it's own language. Now yes it does use the Cyrillic alphabet, but there's other countries that use the same alphabet with their own language. I believe they are suppose to be tourist maps for non Cyrillic readers, but they SHOULD still have the the Cyrillic names above the Latin names since most if not all the road signs are in Cyrillic.

They were shown in one of the Pre-Alpha release videos. Kinda wondering what happened to them. Would have thought they were ready to add in. I just hope they don't get tossed in as 'Bandit/KOS' masks like the Payday ones were.

There is room only for one Horse in Chenarus, and he is Amazing. Where is he now? He's over in the Graveyard, grazing.

I like the idea about the animation for adding mods, not so sure about needing a screwdriver for all mods, (not that I'm against it for some). I thought most simple rail attachments (flashlight, laser, a simple sight such as a RDS) had simple 'thumb' screws on them that you could do with a screwdriver or with your fingers. Now for something like mounting a Scope on a hunting rifle or on the Mosin I would say yes it would need some sort of tool to add on/remove and require that animation.

First of all, as mentioned they have no way to enforce those rules in any meaningful way. Second, they CAN'T enforce such rules without risking their server getting taken away. Public servers (and that's ALL we have right now) have rules that they must follow or else (Must include game version in server name somewhere, No Anti-PVP rules, no mods, no passworded servers, ect)

You need Arma 2 Combined Ops (Arma2 Base game and Operation Arrowhead) and need to download DayZ mod through one of several means (I dunno whats the most popular way now, many people have been complaining about installing it via DayZ Commander but I don't pay attention)

DayZ Mod is older and the first incarnation of DayZ. DayZ Standalone is the continuation of the project picked up by Bohemia.

Que 'No DayZ servers' 'WTF are my Servers?!' 'Why are there no servers?' posts in 5...4...

What I would probably wear around my camp (when they're added) and not scavenging would be a green tshirt, OD/green cargo pants, and a OD ballcap. *EDIT* Forgot to add thin rimmed glasses, but thats what I always wear given the chance.

Everything you 'suggested' with the exception of the Friend Indicator is in the works in some form or another.

Sniper: "Holy shit he fell for it!"

Well, just think about it. Server Restarts and you were in the middle of Electro or some other high value place. You thought you were alone and try logging in. You can't so you know there's someone nearby, so when you finally can log in you start looking for whoever it was. That in and of itself would be a form of ghosting wouldn't it? *EDIT* or even if you were with your friends and one of them crashes, now the party has to run 100m away and not get lost so their friend can join back in.
