Mass Teleport, broken leg, vehicle 'autopilot', inventory clone, inventory theft, building spawns, large ship being spawned (last two on one server that seams completely abandoned at this point)

I don't like the idea of a self operating train (which is kinda misleading because someone HAS to operate it, and realistically if Chenarus were lucky to have spent most of its GDP on such a train, it would have broken down by now so many months after infection). A better idea would be a player operated small train (either a 3 unit tram, the Cherno Switcher with a boxcar and caboose, or a RDC ((self powered coach/car, think of it as a bus on rails))) that would require some repairs and a lot of fuel. If your lucky enough to have a group you could say operate the train from Kamrovo and loot along the way, loading up a lot of supplies into it, meet your buddies in say Nizhnoye and load up your loot into the ural they brought with them, and leave the train where it is for someone else to operate.

Sounds like your just unlucky at this point and have run into powertripers and cheaters. Had a similar situation on another server, was 'mostly' friendly. Had no problems with the Admin or any players other than a couple of trolls that gave up when we didn't rage enough for them to get a hard on. Anyway Admin was usually on the ball with hackers and on only one occasion spawned in gear for a regular who's character got wiped for whatever reason (and only spawned in some of the gear he had). Anyway one day I log in, notice some buddies of mine were on, asked em what was up and they were going to give a friend of theirs something to eat and drink. I jump in my huey and head out to the airfield, land and start asking where hes at, all of a sudden he empties his AS50 into the engine and I run for cover. After my inital wtf and asking for help stage he kills me (even brags about it which got me pissed since I had made my intetions of helping him out known in side). So my buddies split up, one going to get me and the other going to grab my gear for me, which gets him killed. At this point Im in my friend's truck blind with rage, going about 90 on the roads wanting to run this prick down, along the way hes braging and boasting about stuff, and FUCKS up, "Yeah you guys want my AS50 TWS? Come and get me?" 'Isn't that a removed gun?' "Yeah but an Admin gave it to me and-" Asshole has been kicked by Admin. And I was thinking 'Right on man!' and said so to the admin who was watching via some program. Couple days later he adds another player to the admin pool and lays out the ground rules in side chat (im the only other one on) 'no spawning in stuff for people, dont teleport unless its to resolve something, download this and this, ect'. Next day the asshole tries to log in again, after a couple of tries he gets back on and Immideatly starts bitching up a storm and bragging 'YEAH BITCHES THOUGHT YOU COULD BAN ME!' and I figured he was bout to lose another CD Key. Turns on the new admin was a friend of his and unbanned him, when i bitched about it he basically said 'dont be butthurt dude, I talked to (Admin1) about it and he knows about the TWS, and (Asshole) Is allowed to keep it until he dies. Durring this time I was flying another player around in a chopper I found, landed as fast as I could without breaking it, basically tossed him the keys and said Im out. Haven't been back since but might check back one of these days (Not gonna give names, if the Admin 'fixes' the problem whenever I return, don't want to have badmouthed them all this time, if they don't rather not advertise for them in any way)

Well one of the 'what if' scenarios about real 'zombies' was if rabies went airborne. Uncontrolable/unreasonable infected that can spread the infection via bite or scratch. The only good thing about that type of 'zombie' would be that anything with rabies has a 'time limit' so to speak before it dies (cant remember if its hours or days). Back on topic, I'm pretty sure its been suggested by someone already but, add rats, mostly in cities, risk of infection but large enough to hunt/trap/kill and get a peice of meat off of them. (Rats are estimated to be one of the species of animals to thrive ((at least for a short while)) after humans 'die off', with your average dairy cow to be one of the first to go extinct after man goes.)

Seriously? the 60s? The Humvees alone put tit in at least the late 80s, AK-74 (1974), ect ect, id say its more in the 2010s or possibly later, (From my understanding were several months to years after the outbreak)

there are alternatives, boot polish being one

Hell Id love to have sound suppressors, even if you cant fully silence a weapon, might actually start using the lee if its not a fucking citywide diner bell.

I like the idea about the bus destination/route board. But I don't think the old buses here would have electronic signs like most modern ones (hell here in Hawaii we still had more than a few of the old style plastic plate with a light behind it as recently as 10 years ago) Maybe if they 'automaticly' change depending on what road your on (heading to electro on the coast road from cherno it'll have elctro's full name in crylic) or when you customize a bus you have the option of spraypainting a message on the lightboard (NW Airfield, Partybus, Bandit Mobil, whatever you want long as it 'fits' and you have the paint.)

Your talking about either tracking chips or LoJACK in some Post Soviet Backwater. No offense but I dont picture anyone spending more money on a car tracking service (that probably wouldn't be up and running in the post Apocalypse) For some little Ugoslav-POS Car. I do like your idea about muteing just side chat, I get sick and tired of people who think Side Voice is their personal Vent/TS/Skype server. Has come in handy a few times though for idiots who don't switch to direct or vehicle.

Hear that? That's the sound of my dick laughing. Usually happens when something highly idiotic is said. *Edit* I mean seriously, I can barely play Angry Birds on my current gen, high end, phone without the thing getting hot. Assuming you could play DayZ on it the CPU would probably explode or get hot enough to burn your skin with like .001 FPS.

I think parts should be 'salvageable' from the wrecks we see cluttering up the road (rare chance to find intact stuff like tires or windscreens and Im sure car batteries in standalone, more common to find say scrap metal or engine parts) as well as a chance to siphon some gas from a wreck, or able to siphon from a working vehicle.

Pretty sure quivers are coming to standalone or have already been mentioned as 'on the to do list'. *EDIT* With what was just released about magazines (sounded like you'll find empty mags in various conditions and have to find ammo separately and load them), Im sure it'll be easy to add on or make the quiver a 'magazine'.

Protip, Tap Ctrl twice to lower your gun, wont solve every time but will certainly reduce it. I have had minor problems like this, except it was with my mouse where it would randomly doubleclick whenever I click (came in handy on a couple of occasions like doubletapping a zombie, but was more of a PITA) Id start bandaging someone or blood transfusion and shot once, usually followed by an OH SHIT Sorry man sorry! Or a couple of times I've shot my car instead of opening the trunk to put gear inside, then my mousewheel started acting up, problems went away when I took it apart to clean. But yes, a simple safety on/off would be handy for thous who want to have their weapon 'ready' but are prone to clicking on accident.

I want THIS for myself in stand alone. Although mine is Desert Cammo.

In before yard! Well I got that out of the way. *Eats some pork*

After reading the latest blog update: Loading the wrong type of ammo into a magazine (ones that can fit anyway, loading a .45 into a stanag obiously wouldnt work, but say trying to load an AKM mag with 5.56 or stanag with with 7.62 would jam/break the gun.)

Well in Arma 2, with tanks and other armored vehicles you have some option (forget what exactly its called, turn in/out i think?) that lets you stick your head out of the hatch. Maybe have something simular with cars where you rolldown and stick your head out the window (rather than having to shoot out a damaged window), with less of an effect than mentioned above (vision blur at speed, still lowers body temp but not as much or as fast, minor damage from debris, and of course exposing your 'killswitch' to anyone whose a good shot/spray and pray) *EDIT/ADDED* Make so you can craft a 'shield' with a windscreen. (basically a homemade riot shield can block/knockdown zombies with it and take a lot of damage from zombies ((attacking from the front, your screwed if your literally surrounded)), but only a few shots from a gun ((depending on caliber)) )

I've been playing the Take On Helis demo, and the choppers in there have music radios in them (so its possible they'll be adding radios to cars)

Reading some of the above posts, I think itd be a little too difficult/glitch prone to allow someone to move around inside a moving vehicle (we break our bones if we open doors wrong, which by the way is how I broke my arm as a kid...sorta). I do like the trailer/caravan idea (have different types as well, from a small 2 person camping trailer to something along the lines of what Police and Government Services use for Mobile Crises Command Centers). I can't count how many times I've seen thous blue trailer things off in the distance and thought I found myself a van. Would be great considering form what I've read they actually want to make vehicles more rare. Can't find that Ural for making your scavenging runs into Cherno? Hook up a trailer to the GAZ and load that thing to the gills with food drinks and meds.

I think if your driveing/flying, you shouldn't be able to use a weapon at all, one, because most people can barely drive in this game as is without hitting a bush or tree. Now say pimping out a car by mounting a pair of m240s to the hood with a trigger inside would be pretty sweet.

Day 20: I Think I'm going crazy, I'm being followed by this one zombie but he won't attack me, he has sock puppets on his hands and sounds like he's trying to speak in two different voices. JK Go fuck yourself you fucking skip weasel bandit and get AIDs. On a more serious note I would like to see it as a form of stat tracker (number and types of kills, headshots, ect, food eaten, meds used, list of people killed ((make it so you'd have to actually study the body of the person you killed to get the name)) as well as an ingame notepad for players. In the theme of minecraft, add something so that when crafting and you succeed, you automatically jot down the 'recipe'. You could copy/rip out pages of your diary and give them to others to read/copy into their diary, or just notes on the ground. Could be a way to transfer recipes ingame without resorting to an online guide. Say a player kills you and gets to (Study) your body, reads your journal he now has whatever information you wrote down as well as a copy of the recipies you discovered.

I think he means most of the body armor (lots of straps and whatnot, oh wait thats a knee pad not a codpiece), and honestly I don't think there would/should be any chain mail/medieval era armor or weapons (plenty of stuff we can use without having to raid the non existent Devil's Castle museum and giftshop or the Cherno Natural History Museum, why use a rusty and corroded hanger sword when you can find an officer's dress saber in good condition) A suit of chainmail, while yes providing bite and scratch protection, would be heavy as hell, and wont protect against zombies trying to break your arms, legs, rip of your head or even punches.

On the idea of 'protection' different levels of gear Civilian-low to medium grade protection, common. This would be the low grade/improvised stuff, thick leather jackets/armor, sports equipment, lowlevel police equipment (stab/ballistics vests) construction hard hats, hunter's gear (cammo clothes with thous reflective strips built in, harder for zombies and animals to see but a player paying attention can spot you), bike helmets, latex gloves and face mask (minor infection protection), steeltoe boots, ect. Paramilitary/Specialist-medium to high, somewhat rare but not as rare as military stuff. Things like SWAT gear, the sharksuit mentioned above, stuff a PMC could get thats not as good as government issue, gasmasks, HAZMAT suits (major infection protection, but of course your only wearing a thin piece of brightly colored plastic so...high visibility and noise and almost no other protection) Military-high, very rare, includes flakjackets, helemts, combat boots, ect, would include NBC suits (helmet, gasmask, flakjacket, gloves ect, high protection from infection (slightly worse than a hazmat) and ballistics/zombies.

Small vehicles only of course, strap that lucky bike of yours to that Gaz you found that will probably need a new tire if you so much as tap a bush. I think an ATV would need 2 people to lift/load. Add towing, loading c130s or other cargo planes and heli lifting (require a loadmaster for cargo and a loadmaster and someone on the ground to connect the cables for the last two to keep/hinder Trolls from just hording every vehicle on either slatski island or out in the middle of nowhere in the edges of the map)

I like this idea, would be kinda funny in game too. Find a car, fix it up, fuel it up and try to quietly start the engine, all of a sudden Red Army Choir or a T.A.T.U. Song starts playing LOUDLY (greater distance than the engine sound) Now you've got zombies and any nearby players coming to investigate. Could have some uses (if adjustable volume is incorporated , Drop your buddies off at the edge of town, head into town with the car BLASTING a song drawing the zombies out and to you while your friends loot in relative safety. Makeshift Car Alarm (I parked a V3S in Zeleno once, went a looting, came back and was gone, did not hear the engine start up) before you turn off your car you turn the volume up on the radio and turn it on and turn off the car (can backfire for quite getaways). And of course, for thous of us who don't have youtube running in the background with a 10 hour mix or a (insert favorite music program) playlist running we can have some music to break the mind shattering silence (on a low volume of course). But for the love of the Gods, please do not add an 8track to helis with Wagner in it.
