    AKM or the AK-47?

    AK-47 is the incorrect name, it would just be called AK.AKM makes more sense, and The AK has nothing over the AKM. I just do not understand why people want the AK. So the guns feel older? Original AK guns are probably almost collectors type stuff. Most you will find will probably be Chinese copies.
  2. So... My DayZ doesn't seem to be working :/ ? I'm missing item files. Black Ushanka, M4 suppressor. Can get into menu with missing hat, but not into any server. Missing files on Normal version servers, and bad version on Experimental servers. Anybody else get this problem.
  3. I'm gonna put all the hoes in a barn, and have a hoe down.
  4. MP-40 Can use same rounds as C-96 'Red 9'. It's all coming together. Also RPK-74M as more modern 'lighter' LMG.

    Advanced note system & diaries

    What if you could read a persons diary when you tie a person up? Then the people that think they're killing bandits can actually inspect what the person has done, before killing them too.

    Gun Rarity [POLL]

    Ak-74M and AKM would be awesome.Ak-47 would be far away as they would've sold off old guns to Somalian pirates and Mexican drug lords.

    Gun Rarity [POLL]

    Weapons should be somewhat rare, but ammo should be much rarer (especially for the specific gun you need) most people go do some PVP because they find they have 500 5.56 rounds to blow on some unlucky freshspawns. This should never be the in my opinion, any ammo you're likely to find will not be with the gun. Because the guy that had the gun would've likely died because he used every last bullet on a horde of zombies. Some ammo should be more common than others, 12g for example is extremely popular and used widely both by civilian and military.

    Bigger city?

    I propose a bit of urbanisation (housing) buildup between Churno and Elektro. And more industrialisation (business and denser apartments/ housing) between Elektro and Kamyshovo (water front themed area?) . But also between Churno and the surrounding apartment areas. Cities should be a pretty likely place to spawn and gear you up with bugger all proper survival loot, making people hostile if they're in there too long. Hopefully this will give you people chasing others around with knifes in the streets for beans. The city would be a hellhole of badly equipped new spawns eager to murder, heavily armed players would be less advantaged with guns in the urban jungle hopefully making it a risky place for them to go back and visit. (Giving the game a theme of grab what little you need and run out into the small towns and forests once again) Zombies can help with what the players may sometimes not be there to do. I was also thinking about a natural decline in view distance as you approach these sorts of areas just to increase performance. Also Churno plane crash style destruction everywhere would be awesome, trucks that have crashed into buildings to bring down a chunk of it. A graphic helicopter crash and last stand looking scene. Look out the window of an apartment building in a rather torn up room and see a blood stain on the road directly below. ...I wrote too much.

    Your first murder

    Back in teh mod, was my first and only outright murder. A man, trapped in the school/ office by zombies, I could see him through the end window. I was in the top of the pub, he was on the second story of the school/ office. In one ear I have my friend telling me to kill him ;_; I shoot, if he wasn't instantly dead he would be struggling on the ground being eaten by zombies. I go to check his stuff and he is no more helpful to me than a can of soda and some Enfield rounds :( I haven't killed in anything other than self defence/ sought out vengeance since. Except this a couple times in a big vehicle server, but that was kind of different in the fact that everyone seemed to be after PVP and vehicle engagements, as they do. I'm a bit more heroic in the standalone, and have only killed people that have tried to kill me.

    Start with knife

    They need different spawns and just scrap the washed up onshore as just another spawn among many, waking up in a locked room EXTREMELY hungry with lots of empty cans of food (simulating a food hoarder that bunkered in and is now forced to leave his locked away hiding spot in search of food) there should also be a book and a rubbish bin in the corner full of shit just for fun.Other spawn could be waking up in a newly spawned crashing chopper, (extremely rare, even deemed legendary spawn). Any slightly better spawn, like inside a town/ near an airfield should come plagued with a hungry/ thirsty character.

    Counter the brightness at night time

    If you don't have a gun, being in the dark helps a lot.If you're worried about getting shot, turn your flashlight on for not even a second to get a better posture of what it is you're looking at. Then, turn it back off again and fade into the shadows once again. I think the servers should work on a 19 hour sort of day, so one day you might be on with the sun in the middle of the sky. Then another at noon, another at sunset, then another early evening, then another right at the peak of nighttime, another at sunrise, and middle morning, and back to midday.

    Not in NZ :)

    Counter the brightness at night time

    In the darkness of the thickly roofed forest/ a building nothing casts shadows.There is no contrast that you can pick up, therefore no movement you can see. Unless the person is wearing white/ fluorescent colours it would be nearly impossible to spot them. I would like animals eyes to reflect a flashlights light, with the two unmistakable glowing orbs in the night to guide your shot.

    Ammo Box - Easier Usage Idea

    The big problem here is server resets. And the easy fix is to add an early warning system. Not at all hard to do and not at all time consuming (or well at least I think so).
  23. I do think that stripping down should atleast have you wearing the bare minimum amount of clothing you can have that you could have in most shows without censoring. Woman, bra & knickers. Men, undies. None of these thermal things, if anything they should just be an extra clothing layer. I think nudity could provide a realistic survival element (taking off ANY and all wet clothing and getting it dry to avoid hypothermia), however I would definitely like to avoid people running around with their genitalia exposed on the coast. That realism element could be pretty well simulated down to underwear though.

    Tree House

    I'm half and half. This sort of thing has to be done right. Shouldn't be easy, and shouldn't be an option to store a lot of gear (because that's game breaking).
