The East has no Military spawns for the sake of progression. You spawn in the east, get some basic gear, and move inland to find better gear. Servers can already set their day/night cycle rate, I don't know why you think this would prevent sever hoppers. Other than just making the game harder to survive on your own, they're not going to do anything to discourage KOS. Although to be honest this adrenaline rush does sound like a good idea, should also apply to zombies. The infected are not dead, they're already mindless cannibals. We call them zombies because it sounds better than infected.

You were probably either on a glitched server or a private hive server. In either case you won't be able to transfer to an official server, but if you go back to that same server you should have your gear. It's also possible you jumped from a low pop public server onto a high pop private server. The server should say whether it's private or public hive in the server list.

From the Dev Updates, news releases and forum posts, as well as the roadmap (which should be taken as a living being rather than a set of stone commandments). They've said in the past that for the time being they won't give out the server files for security reasons, but hopefully those issues will be resolved before they have to release them to help test Mods and the like.

Well maybe that's one way to encourage people to group up. 'Granny' can be knitting balaclavas for the guys holding the door.

I'd have to agree with Whyherro, we should be able to craft more clothing (from more things) but making a wool shirt from literally scratch does not sound like a good idea. It feels a bit hokey, espically since crafting is very quick in game (currently, I know they want to lengthen the time it takes to create some things later on). Unless shit really hit the fan, I can't see someone knitting themself a sweater as zombies and bandits pound on the door. Making mukluks from some carpeting you tore out of a building, easy and fairly quick to do, hell sowing a bedsheet into a simple tunic is fairly quick. The idea is good, just not exactly as you described it. I mean it's like those other survival games where you can make a fully functional AK in 60 seconds with scrap iron and some clay molds.

I would like to see the M14, but added in as a rare/semi rare civilian weapon as the M1A, semi auto only with no forward rails (unless they add a way to add them to non railed weapons) use the hunting scope and reloadable with stripper clips (not with the scope on). EDIT Also, regarding the M24, didn't they add in or have Remington 700 ready to go? EDIT EDIT: Never mind, was thinking of the Model 70 for some reason.

There's a trailer for the game? *checks steam* Ah...so there is. I don't get where you're thinking that the Devs want to force us to work together and be one happy camp during the zombie apoc. They've said repeatedly they're not going to enforce one playstyle over another. Adding emotions as you suggest would do that. Not only that but the hallucinations where a player would see other players where there aren't doesn't sound doable. Not only that but it won't stop anything, PVPers will PVP whenever they get the chance. It's why they play games where PVP is an option or the only way, it'll be more of an annoyance than a guiding hand. "Aw fuck, I'm hallucinating again, who has some pills? No one? Fuck, okay someone grab my gear and meet me at the beach." /killself. It's forcing something to happen in a open game. IF DayZ was a single player RPG and we play as Demitri Zangonov, a Cherno-American Highschool Guidance Consoler visiting his relatives in the old country when shit hits the fan, I could possibly see forced emotions as we hold a gun on a survivor for their can of beans, I could see him having PTSD or survivor's guilt from that. It's not that though, it's a game with many different players with different mindsets thrown into a world with no rules and dangers at every turn. I myself would have trouble shooting people in cold blood who don't pose an active threat to me. Other people on the other hand are FUCKING PSYCOPATHS who kill for sport, they're not shootng you because you might have the last can of beans in existence and they don't want to find out if you're willing to share or not, they want to kill you fto kill you. Making people 'feel bad' isn't going to stop them from KOSing, otherwise they wouldn't have done it in the first place. And how would you handle a situation where a lone player out scavenging a city, sees a group of heavily armed players start executing unarmed players with a chainsaw just for the Lulz, then opens fire from his concealed position to take care of a threat? "Well I'll just make it so that if someone kills someone who killed someone they don't 'feel bad'." Apart from that being diffcult to program, what about when one of the psychos shoots the hero who just took down the rest of his squad? Right now there's almost literally nothing to do other than gear up and hunt people. Zombies (as of .59) are more of a nussance than a threat, food, ammo, supplies, and guns are easy to come by for the moment, and that's because we are TESTING things. If everything spawned at the levels the Devs want at release, it'd be hard to find bugs with new features or find bugs at all. IE if having an RDS on a M4 crashes the game when there's less than 10 rounds of ammo in Magpul magazines, with a prestine buttstock it'd be damn near impossible to tell because no one can survive long enough to get all those things together.

Are you and your friends jumping to the exact same server? If not you may be jumping onto either a private hive server or a glitched server that's not connecting to the hive.

The server files will be made available at some point. No set date has been given, but one would think it would be shortly before/after modding is implemented.

Pretty much all prepackaged rahmin is already cooked (usually deep fried) and I know people who eat it straight out of the package. Some brands are a bit better about adding nutrition than others, but it's mostly carbs and flavor. Should be an option to eat it raw but with a dehydration penalty, like eating powdered milk or cereal.

Can someone explain what the OP said in his first post? To answer his second post: Because Arma3 is a COMPLETED game and DayZ is not a completed game yet.

@Rags! That's actually a pretty good idea. Peninsula with a larger island and some other minor islands along the coast.

Which is why I said Oahu-like, like how Chenarus is Russia-like or Czech Republic-like. High, nearly impassible mountains separating valleys with cities and farms. There would be natural choke points of course, but those willing the hike over the mountain would be able to avoid them.

@BeefBacon wasn't trying to be an ass (and on that subject, I implied he was in denial about it, and he implied I was retarded), this is his second topic trying to hype up a 'surprise' map upon DayZ Release. I am aware they're thinking about another map and have said they'ed like to do one AFTER release, not 'Okay in celebration on hitting DayZ 1.0 we're gonna go ahead and release the London Map we were secretly working on.' And if memory serves me right, Hicks wanted to do a more western map with a large city and some outlying wilderness/villages. I would personally like to see an Japan/Oahu-like map, with a densely populated urban area, some farmland and rural areas and military bases, and mountainous forest areas with another nearby island or two that while you COULD swim to, would not be advisable to try.

Plot Twist, there are no zombies, the civilians are just that hungry and attack you for food. Though high end loot is a Type 58 and can of 친애하는 지도자의 최고 콩

They're not...get over it.

There will be a thunderous roar from the heavens, as a choir of angles desecend, and booming voice bestows, "It be Ready(tm), so sayith...you know what I can't keep up this level of sarcasm anymore. It'll probably just go live, might be a tweet and forum post within an hour before or after it goes live.

"Nobody wants to be my friend..."

I mean even if they weren't shouting racist/anti-Semite things, why? I mean if I went on a rant about how much I hate Lobster, shouting into my mic about those smelly disgusting ocean cockroaches while I'm being shot at by a group of people, what would be the point other than maybe making any of them who get close enough to hear me hesitate a couple seconds as they wonder what the hell is wrong with me mentally?

I mean...why yell that in game, especially during a firefight? I mean, do you hope that whoever shooting at you is gonna get close enough to hear you and say, 'Oh yes, I hate the Jews as well. We should team up, random shouting person who was just shooting at me moments ago.'

People usually greet me, and it sounds like *PAK-KAK-KAK-KAK-KAK*.

Think that 'wind up' animation is just a place holder, as you wouldn't do that with a real spear (unless you're doing a less than lethal kinda thing, in which case you're just whacking em with a stick). Also looks like you should aim a little high with the spear to get a 'headshot'

Ensure that you only use your powers for good...or evil if it's profitable enough.

...Quoi? Trusting in Google Translate, no, there won't be any console version of DayZ in 2016, we won't even have the full PC version in 2016. As for multiplatform servers...I highly doubt it.
