I'll be nice one moment, handing out food cans and warnings to trouble up again, and setting lure traps to shoot hungry players the next. With DayZ, I'm more here for fun than RPing.

I suggested something like this awhile back. Something that is rare and neat but offers no particular edge over more common items. An example would be a military jacket with spetznatz insignia.

An alternate universe where a zombie outbreak happens in 2017 and ARMA 3 never happens (but OFP, ARMA, ARMA 2 does). The american gear, the CDF soldiers and berets, the Chedaki billboards in the predominantly Russian north and the berets.... Thinking it doesn't at least share parts of the Armaverse is wishful thinking.Deal with it.

Thing is, I want tanks, jets, apcs in Standalone. The region was a major warzone a few years before (ARMA II) But I want them as props, not as actual vehicles you can drive. Rows of them at a military base that aren't heaps of scrap metal (all the military vehicles are rust buckets right now; since when do zombies have armor piercing limbs?!)

Sure, but not too many. One in each of the big cities + 1-2 across the rest of the map. Though I think we need more types of stores first, like clothing stores, restaruants, etc.

Vehicles with metal plates welded on, sure, but nothing too ridiculous looking (no Mad Max please).

In the newest tumblr update, they announced that Gorka-E camouflage is being added soon in various styles. I tried to look online for pictures but I am still confused. Is this hunting camoflage or military surplus? Is this still being used by the military? Who uses it? Thank you!

I can live without it.

I'd like a Baikal civilian model and a US military model.

I don't think something like this would work out. Using broken glass as a silent signalling device during the day on the otherhand...

But the MICH helmet is so ugly. :(

I personally like taking something from Don't Starve repurposed for DayZ; reading books and crafting things boosts your sanity.

Yes please. Also, silverballer versions:

I will admit that I am, or at least was, a server hopper. NWAF, NEAF, Zeleno's military base, Balota, SW military base....I would run from one end of the map to the other again and again for hours of gameplay on low-pop servers. I felt burned out, so today I decided that I was going to move to experimental, kill my character with ill gotten gains and start fresh. I spawned in Svelto on a 100 man server and rushed to grab the basics: clothes, food, water, and a melee weapon. All sorts of bambies were looking for loot too and it was so cool competing for loot and dodging zombies that DIDN'T involve milsim dudes killing bambies. I then went to the heli crash site near Rify and to my delight I found an M4 and a box of 556 ammo. I leave where to my shock two server hoppers with guns spawn right next to the crash. Right here are two server hoppers who will probably KoS me (most of the time groups of players always KoS me or worse, make me surrender and then kill me). I gun them down with chambered rounds and I felt amazing! I couldn't spray and each round felt like the difference between life and death. http://i.imgur.com/Wre6WWr.jpg I walked for a bit and peacefully interacted with a few not-so-newspawns and gave food and a tip off to where the dead server hoppers lay. Later I went to a small town and found a player who was looting a pub. I held him up, grabbed the morphine next to him, told him "I needed my morphine fix" and ran away. Now the thing is, I had more fun in those 20 minutes than I've had in the previous 2 MONTHS of gameplay. Why? I think it's because: 1) a lot more buildings have loot now 2) double the amount of players means I don't have to play for days without seeing another player. 3) I had 20 rounds that had to be loaded individually. If I miss, I could be dead. The tension that creates is a lot cooler than having 150+ rounds in M4 mags like most server hoppers have. 4) I wasn't loaded to the gills in milsim gear. I still want more military stuff added, like CDF battle fatigues and old soviet helmets, but my current character is sporting an ushanka, a torn raincoat, brown hunter pants, black military boots and an M4 and I'm having a heck of a time struggling to survive. So what would I like to see by beta (a lot of this has been tread on so many times but whatever...): -dramatically reduced ammo spawns and slightly reduced gun spawns; make every bullet count; (think STALKER:SoC) -make it so every house has something to loot that has SOME use -work on server stability so that 100 man servers become the norm (I don't think 250 would be good for the game; this is the apocalypse after all) So TL;DR: I played the game properly with scarce resources and I had a hell of a time.

Yes, the ammo was on the floor and the M4 was on the heli's bench.

I got KoS'd a LOT more in the mod, where I would say over 85% of encounters were violent. So no, I don't think tents, bases, or vehicles will reduce KoS.

I would say no. They feel a bit cheap. I would like some grainy glitchy NVGs as a super rare item though.

I've found countless riders jackets, one LRS, 2 press vests and one anti-stab vest.

Sounds like you got a DVT. :P

There's CDF and Chedaki berets and in the predominantly russian north there's Chedaki roadside posters. I would say its pretty safe to say its the same universe; maybe an alternate universe where ARMA 3 doesn't happen. I want to remind everyone that even in STALKER, half the guns are of western origin. It even has an AR-15 variant, so this occidentophobia is really unwarranted. :/

Reminds me of the service rifle in Fallout: New Vegas. Plus, wooden furniture is always sexier.

Before .42, I would have said zombie pathfinding. After .42, its the desynching/rubberbanding when trying to leave buildings. Utterly frustrating.

Hoping for MP5. My favorite gun back from my SOCOM: US Navy SEALS days onward. <3

I've been playing a lot of Red Orchestra 2 lately so I am really up for adding more WW2 eastern front gear. Especially the Ssh-40 and Stahlhelm. As for guns, the KAR 98k is a necessity, as its been used in various conflicts all over the world, including the Yugoslav wars, Romanian revolution, etc.

In most cases (I get jumpy), I only KoS if they have a gun out and they see me OR they have their fists/melee weapon out and are too close. If I see someone in a town, even if they aren't armed, I run away.
