    pushing latest EXP to STABLE... ?

    Soon.....tm. Remember rocket and co have taken Valve time and ran with it. Though for good reason, getting shit done right, My guess is in the next few days to mid june. Unfortunately the rubber-banding wasn't a server problem but something in the code. (something to do with Nag or whatever. I don't speak programmer) Thus it wasn't a easy-ish fix. But the AK is worth waiting for IMO.

    Crows that attack players

    It helps when you spent a good portion of your childhood watching shittons of TV so much that your parents get worried about how you react to watching it (eyes wide, jaw limp sort of staring at the TV). Eventually something comes on that goes on about classic movies. One day this was listed on a top 10 or something. I didn't particularly want to watch it at the time, nor was i interested in the program it was on but now more than ever it seems that there are just some things you have to do and watch. This probably one of those movies.

    Crows that attack players

    So like this classic film (which i have to watch one day)... Though it would solidify my reasoning for carrying a shotgun as a primary. Other than I like shotguns and it looks cool. EDIT: and to try and do this type of scene. The magnum isn't just my favorite pistol because you don't have to use mags.

    Common sense suggestions

    Devs are working on it. A better idea is the ability to eat ruined food but it gives very little nutrition. http://www.kolotv.com/home/headlines/Man-Survives-Being-Shot-in-Head--258670351.html I disagree. They are not WWZ type creatures but are 28 Days later type infected. Thus could do those things. No. This limits people too much. Why bother playing in 3rd person if you just make a jump to 1st in a janky way. Yes but no. Yes to more spread out spawns, no to inland. Part of the lore of this game is spawning on the coast. Can't craft more than two things together at this time. Though it is a good idea. Perhaps Splint+ Petrol(or other flammable liquid) Put it in the bugtracker. Apparently craft-able arrows are coming. Yes. I don't care ether way on this. That's all i have to say about that. EDIT: This post is much "leet" (AKA Post 1337)

    Map out your journey upon death

    I'm all for a map popping up, and your route from start to finish being mapped out by a line but the other stuff would be hard to determine. I'm also for a cause of death, but not the name of your killer if you have one. Such as "Final cause of death was a 357 Magnum to the rear of the skull." but no more detail than that. Helps with finding some glitches (how many people have walked up and down a firestation and then gotten the "You are dead screen") and would satisfy my curiosity. Though I could deal with not having either, well not "deal with it" really. But wish that something like this was implemented just to satisfy a morbid curiosity.

    DayZ needs a Battle Royale mod!

    The mod has it, in fact the mod started it and it was later ported to A3. Probably the only reason it isn't on SA is the fact that modding isn't allowed yet.

    DayZ Standalone

    Known bug, search more, ect.... Either as soon as you spawn, hit pause and wait till you die of hunger or slowly make you way back to shore and kill yourself in another way via connecting and disconnecting multiple times. Or get a mate to shoot you when you are in the water.

    Suggestion: Microphone cant be turned off

    http://http://www.teamspeak.com/?page=downloads Scroll down past the linux files. That + Phone headset = TS out side of your computer.

    Suggestion: Microphone cant be turned off

    Or you can just use skype or TS via a phone or other computer and leave you PC mic off or unplugged. People are crafty mother fuckers. They always work around stuff till it doesn't affect them. Also this isn't the first time this(or a similar method) has been suggested. Please search more.

    for balancing the pvp

    The problem with solving this with zombies is the current archetecture is struggling as it is. Thus the move to make the servers 64Bit. However balancing any other way to try and limit PVP is unacceptable. (i might have missed a way but i don't know how you could fix PVP in game other than the zombies without adding in some sort of PTSD like effect or nerfing stuff with realistic values already which is complete bullshit.)

    Best. Game. Ever.

    Just going to say here that i called it and...

    Best. Game. Ever.

    When i read the title my first thought was... After reading the OP i find this thread lacking. It will be lacking because it is an unwanted opinion and people will fill the void that this thread created. It will eventually descend into an argument, most likely about how 'bad' the alpha is or how the devs will never get it done or some similar demerit on how people think this game should be after 6 months of development after Alpha release. I will say this though. There is no such thing as perfection. You can get close but it will never happen. This game may get close but there will NEVER be a completely perfect game, there will always be a 'but' or an 'if' wether made up or real that will prevent this game or any other game for that matter from ever, ever reaching the status of 'Perfect'. This game will be good. But never 'Perfect'.

    You hear someone say, "Hello?"

    Hide, if they have a gun try and slip away. If not then try and be friendly.

    Is DayZ being developed right in your opinon?

    Yes it is being developed right. And even if it wasn't then I wouldn't be able to do it better.

    No Servers found.

    Server maintenance is every Wednesday from 0700 GMT (london time). We are right in the middle of that period, and all servers go down during it.
  16. Well suck on this! https://twitter.com/Rocket2guns/statuses/466236697240694784 Dean Hall‏@rocket2gunsToday one of our programmers fixed a bug that could allow a player to pass through walls. Looking forward to testing it out soon!

    Hopefully...

    Some custom anti-hack systems (like Musty Gaming's) show Anti-Hack version X.XX or similar on the pause screen.
  19. It's still not plants like the OP wants but this is a better idea. Also you need a lot of plants to get decent camo. When it dies you have to dump it. What's a bigger sign that someone may be in an area. Maybe seeing a bush move out of the corner of your eye? or big mounds of dead foliage next to areas nearly stripped bare?
  20. The problem with this is it doesn't work that well even in real life. After a while the plants start to die and turn different colours and so on. Not a very good idea for when you are trying to stay hidden.
  21. How hard do you think it would be to setup an over-watch position in your town when you have it all to yourself? Besides it being illegal, not hard if you are somewhat trained. I'm not claiming to be trained but I feel I could keep myself hidden from most people in a real life situation if I felt the need.

    Listening music/podcasts while playing

    Rise of the Valkeries ever been on your playlist whilst doing that? If not then what about some CCR?
  23. This. Vehicles will come when the dev team are good and ready. At this current time this will be Q3 of this year (for basic stuff). They are not the most important thing right now. Bugs are.

    Parachuting...

    I was talking about pilots but I see your point. While it isn't impossible to parachute from a heli it is (most likely) monumentally harder when that heli is plummeting towards the ground. However I was more objecting to (what i thought was) the suggestion that helis should have parachutes in them by default. I'm pretty sure airbourne doesn't leave their parachutes in aircraft when not in use and don't keep extras when in flight (AFAIK you either jump or stay on the transport, no swapping out parachutes) so why would they be in there in the first place? (besides people storing them there when SHTF which i don't really see a reason for)

    Please, say NO to boats.

    Probably because in the gif the guy is like "SO F*CKING SERIOUS RIGHT NOW.... O hai der!"
