The limping feature would be much welcome indeed. It sure as hell beats crawling. The speed could be halfway between crouch-running and walking, or a bit faster then walking.

Absolutely agree here. The fun of this game is, that whenever you respawn it is another "roll of the dice". It is always random, you never have the same experience twice. There are so many random factors in the game, it is so huge, that you can never explore all the possibilities. And humans love to explore things, love to see the unknown, and that drives them onward. Also in this game, true human nature is present, whenever you meet someone in DayZ it is always pure and instinctual, whereas in other games, you just see everyone and everything as "loot" "points" or "frags". Here you play with people! You will always die eventually. There is no real goal. You just "make the most of it". And no other game can give you that feeling. This is DayZ and we love it! ;)

Outhouse is what they are called, and they are EVIL TO THE CORE! They just sit there, tempting you... "Come new player look at my shine junk loot, try and take a dump!" Then WHAM, crippled for life. Burn them all!

Wow this thread is blowing up:) I'm exited about the new mechanics, but do I understand correctly, that you either have someone to help you fight of the infection or you just heal yourself with lots of food, drink and some... rest? Not sure if this is the best. Food, drink, yes okay perfect, but rest? I would not like to lay around waiting to get healed again. No fun in that. Otherwise, keep it coming! We'll see what it turns out to be:)

I was scared as hell! My first spawn was in Electro, never going to forget it. I spawned in the docks, right next to the big cranes. I looked around, saw a few Zed, was "oh gosh, oh GOD, oh my!", and ran to the crane and climbed up. I climbed to the top, while two zeds were stalking at the bottom. I waited until they moved on, climbed down, and went west. Found a shed and a Hatchet in it! I was like "Oh my GOD a weapon". I naturally could not figure out at first how to equip it. Also found a soda. I then tried making my way into the city, but soon after that got hit by Zeds, started bleeding and died :) My blood pressure was in the SKY, and I instantly started again. Had quite a few other interesting stories, but my favorite is probably the time I spawned near Kamenka, and went LEFT. Yes, I ended up on the side of the map, it was horrifying :D

My wife would love this theory :D Oh well, probably no tanks for me, I'm going back to fix that quad I found earlier *sniff-sniff* ---walks of into the sunset---

It is a game... with zombies in it... so much for realism. The mechanics are fine the way they are. Thing are faster, otherwise if it would be "absolutely realistic" no one would die of thirst, sickness, hunger... It just adds to the suspense. Get some more experience, believe me, you will find everything in order to survive, and the game will be a blast!

So guys, I had the following incident last night: Was in Cherno, scouting the supermarket, when I see a guy running of from the supermarket, being chased by lots of zed. I yelled "friendly" but he didn't stop, just kept running. I looted the place, and since I am such a nice person I asked in the side channel to see if he needed help or not, and that I saw him run off. Someone replied, that yes it was him ,he needs help. OK, I said, lets meat up at the supermarket and I can give you food and whatnot (even promised a spare M1911). I naturally waited at a different place, where I could see the supermarket from. After a few mins he said that he is there. Went inside, assuming I did not see him enter (only saw one side of the building). I was in there, saying "OK, I'm here, where are you" since I still did not see him. He kept saying his right there (note: this was still on the side channel). I kinda figured out, that this was a troll move, so I started pulling out, when he said, that he sees me, but I probably can't see him, since he is invisible. He said it happened already, that others could not see him, he then had to reinstall DayZ and the bug was solved. Have you guys ever seen anything like this? I'm still POSITIVE that he was just trolling, but I can't get the thought out of my head:)

Too harsh indeed... :D Back to topic: One more thing that would be great: TANKS :D Imagine, driving up to town with an armored vehicle! Of course they would consume massive amounts of fuel, and you could not drive and fire at the same time (or no ammo at all?), but it would be a blast. I imagine myself sneaking through town, when suddenly a tank pops out of nowhere. *scared shitless* It would be epic :D

Please do be so kind, and get me that episode, this will be my new Supernatural :D (We are drifting off topic, but who cares, it's now about the lulz!)

Hello survivor! Welcome to our fine resort! Here are some great things to do, while you are here: 1. Think fast, move slow 2. When in doubt... stay in doubt. Never trust anything 100% 3. Learn to run, when you need to run 4. Always be a good person 5. Get a hatchet. No exceptions We hope you enjoy your zombie filled stay. Have fun!

Don't be so harsh! It is not their fault that they were born that way ;)

3 remarks to add: 1. That was hilarious 2. You are terrible with gear management 3. The ending with you saying "And every zombie in Electro is now going to kill me... thats great... thats great..." is one of the saddest things I ever saw. Nice dramatic touch!

More vehicles and guns, YES. Less ammo and fuel, YES! More melee weapons, YES! But also more parts to get the damn vehicles working! Please? Let loners fix up and own vehicles too, not only 3-4 man groups. That would be awesome!

I will do what every other sane person would do: Jump around wearing only a helmet, while Mario music is playing in the background.

I once met a guy in Komarovo. I spawned an hour earlier, had already a gun, he had only a crowbar. We yelled friendly and teamed up. We where having a nice chat, and were heading to Balota, when my phone rang. I typed "Sorry man, gotta answer the phone". His reply was "I have never seen a phone in this game so far". It knocked me out :D

Nope, I clearly stated where we should meet and how. Like I said, still thinking it was just a troll move. Just curious, if anyone has seen/heard something like this.

Maybe it is there to eventually replace toilet paper :D But it would be awesome, if it could act as some sort of "shield" from the undead, warding them off or whatnot. Your character could go all "BE THEE CLEANSED BY THE NAME OF THE LAWD!" and you would get an A.I. controlled survivor.

My only experience with a chopper was rather short (one flew over my quite low, and thus scared me shitless). On the other hand, once I found on Off-Road vehicle, in an open field next to the road near Balota. It was just there. The body of its former owner was not far, he had some decent loot on him and in the pickup as well (got an M16 if I remember, 3 mags, map, compass, lots of food and drinks, even a grenade). So I hopped in, and said, okay lets head for the Airfield. Was playing lawnmower with the zeds for a few minutes (you know, run them over, back up, run them over again), and when the area was safe (or at least I thought so) I got out and headed for the control tower. There I climbed up the ladder to scout around, then climbed down, and suddenly an army zombie was there blocking the stair. He knocked me unconscious (note: I was already low on health) and I bled to death... Was pretty devastated after it, but now I just laugh when I think about it (and then cry in my pillow).

Also, never EVER mess with the admins. Never. Ever. They will eat your soul. And ban you from the server if you mess with them, which is (in my opinion) a d*ck move. (Happened to someone I was adventuring with: He shot someone on the "Admin-Team" and got banned for it. Of course this is always server dependent, mostly they are nice;))

You guys are nuts :D I like it! Have found one my self. Tried to whack zeds in the head to cleanse them. Didn't work. Oh well, back to basics... *ratatatatatata*

...And the Lord said: "Let there be the Hatchet!" And all of Mankind rejoiced in happiness. And all of Zedkind came to know the name of fear. And the Lord saw, that it was good.

You should have picked up his stuff, dropped it one by one, to make a nice little line leading either to some Zed infested building (make sure to drag them there first) or directly into your scope. *TrollFace*

Same here. Although I am sometimes a bit of a hoarder, and I usually make Electro and Cherno runs to get nice loot, but never will I make contact with another human being, unless he does it first (wich by most time means that I am going to die) On the rare occasions I made contact with friendlies we had a blast, so don't rob yourself from that experiance. It feels really awesome to adventure with someone, kill zombies, lay back and have a nice cup of... beans!

You CAN throw flares (and smoke granades, and junk) to distract zombies. However it would be funny, if zombies would develop a sudden love for cows. It would be hilarious to see them swarm the poor thing :D
