Enlist now! BMRF is one of the most reliable and high quality server you will find around, you wont regret it.

I couldn't really find anything about it, thats why I just opened this thread, thanks for the info, maybe I will wait though. Thanks a lot. Yeah just trying to figure which servers are "better" to pitch them and try them out. I only play First Person servers, so I will definitely check you guys out! Thanks for the info!

Just wondering exactly how do I know which servers are official? Its mainly to set up a tent. Thanks.

I get your point, I may have confused what you meant. Those ideas are amazing and things like that would be a huge game changer for DayZ. I know many other games have Holiday specials, but those are not simulation games. Anyhow, what I though you meant was for example for Christmas just randomly start spawning christmas hats lol. Sorry for the misunderstanding ;)

They already mentioned they will add toold to create events for privates hives to create, I doubt the official servers will start adding these as it is a survival game, not en MMORPG. So if a specific private server or mod wants to add things like this, they will be able to. Anyhow, none of this would come any time soon.

Yeah things like that would be awesome indeed. I'm sure they are going to get into more detail and hopefully as the one you described. My suggestion was more simple as a thing they could probably implement pretty easily. If your ok with very old graphics you can see the effect I was mentioning from this OPF video: Watch at 2:09 and 2:16

No, as this is kind of an example of where the limit of realistic and fun comes into play. This would make the game just more frustrating in my opinion and I am usually at favor with hardcore things, but not this. Items you are carrying already take damage when you get injured, so that aspect is kind of covered. I do agree damaged clothes should come more into play though. Maybe getting shot in the torso for example would damage the item and then that Ruined item will stay in that slot until you remove, then that slot can't be used again till it is sowed and then you can use that slot again. I don't know something like that.

Yeah I would agree in having different ways of making fire, but keep them simple, after all we are supposed to be just regular people. For example be able to cut a Stone into 4 with a pick axe (1 slot each rock) and be able to bang 2 and get sparks, you would need something else to catch the fire, this would require 1-2 items more to make a fire, but it compensates from trying to just find a fire axe to cut down a tree.. Maybe add a Magnifier and that could also work in sunny days. You can also currently search for sticks on the ground in the wood though, but not logs. So maybe do something around that direction also.

No, this is not another Gore suggestion, body parts flying off or such. What I mean by visual injury is simply blood splatter where you hit are shot someone. Say if you shoot someone in the stomach you would see a big red splatter where the bullet was hit and if he is bleeding you will see the blood fountain coming out of it. This would be great to see where people have been shot (just for immersion) and maybe can wash it off or something. This is not a game breaking change as is mostly for immersion and/or fun. And the reason I am suggesting this is only because its suposed to be something simple to do as this has already been in ArmA since Operation Flashpoint as you can see in the pictures below. Face shots.

I was about to go all crazy about the topic, but after I understood what you meant, yes yes yes. This is a great suggestion and would be awesome!

Yeah I noticed it too, I only play on Hardcore, but even I went on a 3rd person server last night because everything was empty. Completely different experience.

I agree, however jumping from one server to the other or from one map to the other will still be a loading screen in between so its ok. I'm sure later on they can come up with a solution like a certain distance from each border of the map will give you an option to port to another map. Say All the West side of the map from South to North would allow you to travel to Namalsk and the East border (all water) would allow you to travel to Taviana for example. This would give a bigger gap to travel instead one small road that allows campers to just sit and wait.

H1Z1 Running http://youtu.be/yjz4pFHTPN4?t=15m10s DayZ mod Running http://youtu.be/h_REsdSc5wM?t=35s DayZ old Running DayZ new Running I think DayZ's new running is looking pretty cool compared to others. Although I don't think the old one was bad, I would use that one when the character is tired and the new animation for sprinting when he's not tired, being a bit faster. We can't really complain much, whenever it comes to working on animations, its always a plus. Yeah it does look weird and long arms right now, but I'm sure they are still working on it.

The new animation explains how most people don't know how to run so this is a default run animation for regular dudes lol

This doesn't mean its 50% complete, there is no way for the devs to calculate game completion at 1.0. Plus if they were reaching 1.0 and thought its no quite there, they might just start making up patches in between, like Patch 0.922 - 0.923.. I'm sure they will keep progressing well and who knows it might end up even better than we thought by 1.0.
