It's probably possible to import the map itself, but any of the new/enterable buildings will not be available in the mod until they themselves are ported in. I would think that we'd have to at least wait for the Alpha release before anyone working on the Mod can even try to port Chenarus+ over to the mod, but it would probably only be a mater of time and some simple fixes.

It's been said if DayZ performs well (EDIT and by that I mean sales) they'll look into Console plans. From what I've been hearing the next gen systems might be able to handle the Arma engines.

Matter of preference really, while the hacker situation is lower on the public servers from what I heard there's till somewhat vulnerable. If you find the right Private Hive for you you'll have a good chance to make friends and a community. A public server will allow you to server hop as well.

I can't really tell the difference either.

I volunteer to mocap a fat zombie!

So I could just go around on your 300 vehicle server, claiming every unclaimed car, then log out, wait a week, then go around and claim every unclaimed car again? Not realistic in the slightest. Pretty sure Skodas don't come Standard with fingerprint recognition tied to the ignition.

I use a shotgun for hunting rabbits in the mod currently. 'The Bitch' screams a bit too loud for it to be useful (to me) for anti zombie purposes. Kinda like using a Lee, gonna run out of shells before I run out of bodies. I try to avoid PVP but might start using shotguns more.

Oh God! Here we go again. *Starts digging a foxhole to hide from all the 'y u no release when u sai' posts*

Think that's a recoiless rifle. (Usually its not a good idea to stand behind thous) Or the main cannon salvaged from a friggen light tank. And yes these poor bastards are using a lot of homemade stuff and whatever they can find. They're taking Rocket pods from downed helis and mounting them in trucks like Katusyas. That thing looks weirder the more I see it, you got a site where you got this from? The bottom of the (receiver?) looks like a RPG-2 or 7 tube.

He just means the actual skin, not dead players or anything like that. We (the Players) are the only survivors. A baseball cap and tactical vest or hoody does not make someone immune to zombie.

He just means some zombies would have the 'standard' survivor skins (hat, vest, shirt, ect) not that players turn into zombies.

*gets on his knees and starts a prayer circle* Oh Loot Gods, Created by the Holy Rocket. Provide us with the means to combat the end times. Bless us with Antibiotics to repel the coming sickness. Bless us with backpacks, as our sign of faith to you to increase our burdens. Bless us with rangefinders, so that we may know how far to keep the End Times at bay. Bless us with matches that we may keep the Holy Fires burning bright and hot. And bless us with weapons and ammo, so that we may drive away the Bandits and Demons. Amen.

Maybe have them add in the old survivor skins (male and female) to the SA as an 'easter egg'. Would just be another skin to the increase the variety slightly.

Bandit Ears (left ears only please). And that's what he's talking about community building. Not everyone's gonna farm, the few that do will have something to trade. Traps. Pungi sticks, small(ish) fish hooks hung from trees at around eye/cheek height, Poorman's Claymores (shotgun shell in a mousetrap), and bear traps just to name a TINY amount. Lots of things really.

Having never seriously worked on a farm either it wouldn't be that time consuming, and honestly not for everyone (it would only take a few dedicated people to supply an entire server). And it's not like you're going to be sitting in your field, waiting for the crops to grow, you do the work, then go off and do other things. Till the field and plant, go out and gather supplies. Come back the next day and do a bit of weeding/watering, go to NWAF and PVP. Respawn the next day, gear up enough, check the farm, go out get more gear. It'd be an objective to do, that's not too time consuming.

There's ways of doing it, just a bit of DIY involved. And by radios we mean like walkie talkies, where you can tune in, transmit and receive.

I like this but it'd be a very monumental task. As in if Rocket had someone working on it NOW we probably wouldn't see it till a post release (and I mean Full Game, not Alpha) update. And honestly only a few people would actually partake in it (mostly because it'd just be easier to go find a can of beans in a store or home). If loot resources were not 'renewable' then there would be much more importance placed on this. Sadly I can just go down to my local ChernoMart and pick up food or go out hunting, or kill someone in the hopes they have a can of beans on them. Your system is the only one I would like to see (Real Time) not some 'potatoes grow in 5 days' system, but sadly I fear that would be the only system that would 'work'. And if this were to be taken into consideration I would like there to be actual seasons to go with it. This could build more 'relationships' on servers. Probably won't get rid of KOS or the high amount of banditry, but will make it more manageable (I can see farmers paying 'tributes' to large bandit clans in exchange for being left alone) If there was some way we could harvest the fields and gardens that already exist that would be one thing (But still, running a combine (or even by hand) to harvest wheat in the middle of an apocolypse, then milling the wheat into flour, kind of a big deal). I would use the Fukuoka Method in real life if shit went to pot (and if I actually survived long enough to do it). http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Masanobu_Fukuoka

The radios is the thing you're after. There will be people doing their own radio shows via the radio system (not quite sure how it works but should be pretty cool). I'd go with everyone else, just run your chosen media player in the background. I'd be cool if they did what Star Trek Online did and add in a little mini media controller (small box pops up on the UI shows you the song, artist, ect along with some limited controls ((play, pause, back, next, forward, rewind)) ), but Rocket wants the UI to be minimal, so maybe adding a generic ChernoPod as either a loot item or something you have at spawn as the menu (Kinda like how you bring up the compass or watch and it shows it on your arm/in your hand). I think you might have a pretty good idea with the Recorder too. Record a message, leave it on the ground on play and loop, or hook it up to a radio and have the message broadcast on a loop.

I'd say Rocket does want the hype to die down, it's generally hard to live up to hype and he doesn't want this turning into a That 'game' which shall not be named Situation. Yes, the game will probably 'suck' when alpha first comes out, I plan on buying it at that stage so I can be a part of making it 'not suck'. Imagine if SA was actually ready for an alpha release at the height of the hype. Millions would buy it, thinking it's a complete game, get frustrated and scream 'this sucks' at the top of their internet lungs and leave/demand their money back, leaving just the dedicated and those with foresight. Also remember that people hear what they want to hear. "We have no release date as of today." becomes "ROCKETS GONNA RELEASE TODAY!!!!11111oneoneuno"

Just imagine what that thing'll do to a zombie. *grab, cut off legs, delimb, 'debark'*

Thats not a tractor, its a logging machine. Still kinda cool but in Chenarus we use Urals for Logging.

Oh god yes, either passenger or extra cargo!

I might need to actually watch this Disylexi or whatever the fuck his name is' video to see what everyones bitching about.

Rule 1: Never get attached to your gear. Rule 2: Never get attached to your gear. Rule 3: You are going to die.

I see your tractor, and raise you one I want.
