I don't KoS and try and avoid combat always greet first that said i thank you for doing your part by making this game great and putting fear into my very soul!

Honestly i don't think any loot should be forced to one spot and i know dayz SA is more lenient than the mod BUT still things like m4's (for example) should have an ultra low chance of being found in suburban homes like 0.001% drop rate or something ridiculously low, i think its unrealistic to say certain things only spawn in certain places as in real life and especially after an apocalypse people would've got arms and moved supplies around themselves etc, etc. Also a plus on this means that people are less likely to pass up the 1st few towns or smaller towns further out (when loot spawning is actually in and working) to run straight for military bases as the loot they want can be found more randomly it'll make every house worthy of your time. Note: This also would apply vice versa; military areas would also have a low chance of spawning common crap as why are we always the first people to be in a place / building when nothing is new in the world anymore. Thoughts on this?

I think the M4 issue is more a not enough items in the military loot tables though (just a theory) so if true when they increase the amount of things that can drop in military areas (such as if they added common items to the loot table) it should cut down the M4 spawn rates, also more weapons would help the m4 issue. That said it's barely been a week and we already got one new gun (not that it's spawning though lol) be amazing if they kept up the one new gun a week thing haha i can dream :P

what aftershave said V ha gotten me out of many a walled room try running v so you jump works for me

They are basing this game on reality though and i beg to differ if the government and army shut down people will break into weapon lockups by any means necessary people aren't going to rock up to lockups and go ooooh a lock well lets go home then no they're going to pummel cars into it beat the doors down blow doors down people are crazy just look at shopping sale videos on youtube haha! All i mean is that someone who doesn't want to risk going into a base but has put countless hours into searching homes has a small chance they might come across something military grade but the M4 was just an example i mean no forced spawn locations on any items at all! just have items have higher chances in obvious spots :)

is this coming in the next patch? :P haha. Really though nice work dude!

Yeah i'm hoping so too even i'm doing it and i don't like it! i think the M4 spawns will be completely ironed out once we have a few more spawns for military bases thus lowering the chance of it spawning.

Yeah 100% on that i just used the M4 coz its a very particular spawn (even though it's in abundance atm) yeah i think painkillers should be slightly higher in homes than say a defibrillator i've found more defibrillators in homes than anywhere else atm haha but yes needs to be a lot more common junk everywhere as at the moment the game is still very go here for these spawns i even know what houses to avoid completely now, which kind of sucks as it limits my experience.

Agreed but that's only 1 example item and rate but it still can mean payout for those who do take the time to search other than just walking into a blood bath and server hoppers in military bases, so everyone can have nice things (eventually) playing how they want to play not being forced to go somewhere; even though they would have largely better odds if they did go to the main spawn locations, i personally feel it just keeps the game fresh other than being a military grind.

And there could be new enemy types like zombie gnomes haha :P Edit: elves whatever! ... whatever race santa has forcibly working in his sweatshop.

I don't think screen flashing with a layered picture is very good, plus would look ugly and overriding control of the screen i don't think is wise as i don't think taking control off of the player is a fair trade off. I do like the concept of mental illness though but whispers i think would be more appropriate as that can make the actual player paranoid not just forcing something upon the games character; if you're walking through a field alone then you hear someone whisper something that you can't quite make out it'll make you paranoid and it also means each actual player would react differently some players might not even be effected by ghostly whispers or voices in their head, might be normal for them lol Edit: grammar

Really good post lots of good ideas, beans for you! for the bullet removal you should be able to use any 1 handed sharp object kitchen knife / hunting knife / screwdriver / pen and have it so if you use them instead of the proper surgical tool you would have to also apply a 2nd bandage or increase the bleeding rate while the animation plays so you could actually kill yourself by accident if you don't use the right tool and you're close to death; also large calibre bullets should penetrate through the player so no need to remove.

I dunno i think a lot of boredom right now is content based, i'm kinda the same i just wonder around seeing how long i can make my char last just slowly refine all the things in my bag to pristine that i'll never use (i'm personally hanging out for hunting so i can live in the woods like a wild man haha) but if you look at the rate the game has been updated it's very impressive and if next year (i presume we will have no updates till next year) it maintains the multiple updates we received in just the first week i think it will keep people interested, we will see i guess. I feel they prob would of been better releasing in january so their wouldn't be this awkward pause of updates only a week after release but obviously they wanted to be out for christmas rush so can't blame them.

Agreed i've got 50 hours game time (i should prob spend my time doing other things haha) at the moment and yeah i've seen nothing other than the standard exploits.

Finally made it to green mountain after traversing the night, climbing the peak of the hill i approached the fence with caution making sure to keep distance between me and the area itself as the gates come into view i approach cautiously, they're closed which makes me feel a little safer i can't see the building as it's too dark and i'm still suspicious that someone could be inside (as i myself close all doors and gates after myself to make people think places are unattended) so i open the gate and HA! a zombie is still loitering inside so i'm like yes place should be full! Once i open the front doors to claim my earnings the reality quickly dawns on me, the holding cell is open nothing in there, run around the corner and the office door is open with just a rotten apple and a broken headlight so lastly i go upstairs a pair of pants nothing else... all looted... I fucking hate server hoppers. Being on any night server if you press P you can just watch em jump in and out seeing nobody plays night servers it's a good place to see just how rampant they are! Just felt like ranting about this so complain about my complaints all you like!

Oh sometimes i forget i forget some people don't have bodily functions, i guess you must be one of them :)

Yes! 100% agree would be hilarious finding a bandit who had to run off for the woods for a quick dookie to only find him unarmed with his pants down! then also have a piss n shit yourself system that ruins your pants so you can wash and disinfect them with the disinfectant spray or have to find new pants before getting sick! Poop and Piss is an important part of life!

I think the whole to much guns (M4) thing atm isn't really a worry as when more guns and ammo types are implemented this will correct itself so i don't think guns and ammo should really be altered as you can only take 1 main on back and 1 in hand at most and even that i see as risky. As for the cleaning kits and weapon maintenance i'm sure that will be in there eventually seeing base weapons don't even have a quality makes me think it's something they're already working on. Edit: that sounded more skeptical than i intended i actually like your idea haha!

lol beards idea is a must! I just really think it's as smiple as lots of vanity gear if there is a lot of different clothes people will spend time looking how they want to look you find a tee that never spawns or a pair of shoes that you love that in itself makes me personally care atm the clothing otions are shit so i just wear military and i don't care (as starting clothes are the best clothes atm anyways looking wise) but if there was so much gear that it was hard to look how you want and knowing it took days to put together your outfit then that to me makes me not want to die more than the guns. i'm vain so vanity items make me care! Edit: as for a leveling system i'd hate that i don't want this game to become a grinding game i LOVE this game because there is no levels theres just me and the world, you put in levels all of a sudden instead of me just trying to survive i'll be trying to max out all my levels asap and then when i do it i'll be like well im done, quit. Leveling has ruined so many games for me.

Just eat and drink a metric shit ton till you're 'full' eat everything you find spam every drinking well making sure you maintain a full stomach and in an hour or two you'll be fine.

lol i avoid all high places now i've lost 3 heavily geared chars to high places! i'm just looking some railing then next thing i know i am freeeeeeeee, free falling off of the ledge as the games decides i need to be more airborn (twice in the wrecked battle ship i have been thrown to my death from it!)

Just keep at it you'll learn what to avoid best advice i can give to avoid new spawn killing is loot 2-4 houses max in the 1st town, avoid buildings with stairs that lead to the second floor on the outside of the building and houses made from logs as they are a waste of time and never have loot, just hit a few houses first and then the water tap, spam it till full and leg it the hell out of noobvillie; life's nicer inland! Once you get in the swing of things the games pretty much easy mode i've only been player killed 4 times one i was AFK, one was i was stupid and i took to long in a military area, one i asked for (was bleeding out) and the last was just an asshole haha. Keep at it you'll get into the groove and player killing won't even be a worry for ya :)

The youtube thing doesn't matter its just random chance, people try to look for patterns or reasoning to everything, patterns don't exist random does. There's no name tags in the game you don't know who people are you could run into TB or boogie or Pewds or whoever is currently playing the game on YT and never know it, KoS doesn't wait for mic check saying "WAIT I'M PEWDIEPIE; HAIL ME AS YOUR OVERLORD" no they kill on site. If you play the game you should understand dieing IS dayz, if you play to live and loot you're playing it wrong, you will die, it maybe from human interactions, it maybe from lag, it won't be from zombies but it's the experiences of the unknown nature of players that make dayz go from a terribly buggy game with shocking melee mechanics and horrid AI to an insanely great game that nothing else can truly offer. My 2 cents.

spawned in was running down the road another guy was off in the distance heading towards me i swallowed as my dry throat ached from my needed thirst he was getting closer i had nothing and i could clearly see as he got closer changing from a blob into the clear silhouette of a man that he was holding some kind of weapon, thoughts filled my head but i kept running straight down the road as we got closer i would not waver this road was mine and he wouldn't deter me from my aimless road running and insane stubbornness to claim tar mat as my own. After what seemed an eternity of running we finally got in earshot of each other i could see he had a backpack some decent clothes and a all mighty shovel that would brake my nose with a single swap and then there was me in my simple tee and jeans that i may or may not of pissed in as urination and pooping is something my char never does (so i can only presume he has a piss and poop bag seemed into his jeans or just likes the moistness of his pants) I could of said something but i didn't as we finally meet still we both ran neither of us even flinching, he also said nothing and now he was beside me still i pressed on that's when it all changed my world flipped on it's head and nothing would ever be the same the eternity was over in an instant as he was now behind me, it was clear empty road ahead and looking behind me he want from growing to shrinking as his silhouette continued down the road heading away from me and i continued my track down the road to which i knew i would eventually die by the dreaded lag. My 1st human interaction was thrilling.

Friend spawning would be awesome i don't think we will ever get it as someone will cry "that's unfair they have an advantage" or "that's not realistic" but dayz ain't real life and sometimes i want to play with my friends not have our new spawns run 20 minutes through heavy PvP zones with nothing but our under tees on our backs and rags in our pockets (even though the journey is half the fun) just to meet up or to die again and have to work out where we are again plus i don't want to look at the online map but to find where my friends and i are it encourages cheating and if friends can spawn together you don't need the online map to find each other!
