    Removal of the gamma setting

    It needs to be removed from in server menu. Main menu, menu is fine, because that adds a bit of randomness. Most will leave it in the middle so they are not blinded at day. Decreasing the range works well too, if they wanted to mess with third party stuff then that's going pretty far for them really. It will probably change a 40-60% abusers to 15-5% simply by making it more annoying. Things like changes in scope zoom with FOV, also shadows and better adjusting of eyes in low light need improvements too though.

    New Shotgun MP133

    I like it a lot, unfortunately you can't load more rounds into it without removing your others first, or have a nice custom load order of maybe a few slugs first then buckshot. Definitely a reliable weapon, hope to see a few changes to how ammo and loading works in the future.

    New Shotgun MP133

    No, I think it has a slightly shorter barrel and tube.So 6 is correct for tube length I think.

    Do you want pooping in this game?

    I honestly wouldn't mind such a feature. I don't feel it's past that line of realism/ gameplay. It doesn't make an automated task hard like running or breathing. It could be used as a tool, could become a problem when you find you can't shit, it could indicate that you are sick (diarrhoea). It could also be used to track down players, or the same for animals. It is useful, but I can see it becoming a comedic element more than anything so either way it has it's positives. I definitely think if it isn't added though, there is enough support to see it being added in an extreme realism mod.

    Just some Ideas about Hypothermia

    Just when you have enough alcohol, it's realistic it stops you feeling the cold. I also think when you start developing frostbite there isn't much feeling left there.

    Can I Run DayZ Retail (POST HERE)

    Looking at the minimum specifications I'm thinking that CPU will not do the job. Minimum specifications states an intel dual core with 2.4gHz. Source http://www.systemrequirementslab.com/cyri?gameName=dayz&itemId=11929&p=r CPU's in laptops I think are usually the expensive part.

    I can't seem to get that old stream on mobile, what so they say about islands if anybody had watched?

    Just some Ideas about Hypothermia

    Maybe it could just stop the warnings? But put you at greater risk of hypothermia, hidden features are good. As a positive it could also act as a mild painkiller, letting you move better on injuries, but maybe at the risk of worsening the injury. It would be a short term fix.

    Online dressing-room

    Maybe. Might detract from the value of finding certain clothing items though.

    I am shaking...but!

    I think altitude makes a difference, so generally speaking the further northwest you are the warmer you need to dress.

    Lockpicking: Minigames yes or no

    Yes, I know a guy with a shotgun in the military is usually also expected to be breaching doors so maybe this would be a surprisingly common round. Would be good to be able to have a door breech slug, then 4 or 7 rounds buckshot depending on tube size. Maybe you could also have a guy with a flashbang ready to throw in.

    I am shaking...but!

    I haven't had to use a fire yet. Only ever gotten to cold status. Just keep running and though shall stay warm through rain or shine. I would like fatigue, weight, and resting mechanics though. So it isn't so easy for me.

    Lockpicking: Minigames yes or no

    I would rather mini games that require some knowledge and skill than crappy random chance.Edit: works everytime is also something I don't think fits in dayZ. Small things like opening cans that anybody knows how to do is fine.

    My encounter with a cheater

    You don't have to feel like a douche because you listened to us, that makes you good man.

    Some observations about item rot

    So just the bug that moves stuff in containers and looses things?
  16. I know, silly mechanic. Construction helmet protects from melee, even facemask gorka does nothing :/Same with ballistic helmet, no trauma protection. Gorka helmet with face mask should almost make your head invincible.

    Lockpicking: Minigames yes or no

    What I think about lockpicking, doesn't it require a very sensitive hand and maybe a good ear? You need to feel when the pins are in place. I'm thinking multiple little pins, jam em all into the lock. Small minigame click on a pin and drag it down very slowly, when you hear the pin in place with a quiet little tic. Then you leave it and move onto next bobby pin. Depending on on lock quality will be how easy the pins are to get perfect, and dependent on what type of lock determines how many bobby pins are needed. With several bobby pins and something to turn the lock you can make a improvised lock picking kit. You can find a precessional kit but it should be very rare. Bobby pins could spawn in residential on little paper card things like IRL. Bobby pins break over time, professional kit pins shouldn't break. If you don't have the time or don't mind making noise a shotgun or a few rifle bullets should be the best option. But I think making a lot of noise should soon be a problem around towns and villages. Maybe you should have to drag and drop bobby pins into keyhole in the middle of the screen, newbs would take the time to try sticking another on 1-2 maybe many more times. They're then confronted with what they hell they do with these pins, do I twist it like Fallout?... No it only moves up and down... Moves up and down, if they're perceptive enough they'll hear the tic. Some people will be smart enough to figure it out on their own, others will not. The way it should be in DayZ.

    Snipers

    In battlefield there is more cover and it takes two chest shots always. In DayZ you get people running down roads, stopping often, running in open field, it will take ages for someone to hunt you down after you kill them once, and no retarded scope glint while looking away from the sun.

    Sword in the Castle.

    Maybe they had re-enactments? I would like to see an armoured up zombie random spawn chance, hope you brought a firearm bud :) heheheh. They could base armour of the mason order armour in chivalry medieval warfare it has a supposedly eastern Europe vibe.
  20. It is similar because your layout is so good.
  21. AP_Norris

    More ammo ASAP

    No, ammo needs to be rare. Give people ammo and they will use it.

    DayZ map development

    I've never watched a stream, firstly because my ipad doesn't have twitch. And I usually use my ipad for just surfing.
  23. AP_Norris

    DayZ map development

    Yes, some nice idea. Different setting would be great, although I see the mod community being more likely to add such things. A snowy map with different seasons would be great too. But please read the last few lines of my post, it is pretty much exactly the start of yours.

    DayZ map development

    Okay, thankyou.What else do you think would be a likely find in the water? Small randomly generated boats with skeletons of people inside that died of exposure from elements, rough storms and scorching heat, lack on drinkable water, lack of fish biting. Just floating out in the sea. Larger boats, with zombies inside, piling up outside on the decks as they hear your motor churning through the water. Look in the boat, find some books, clothes, maybe a flaregun, fishing rod.

    More Horror and Gore Please!

    I could imagine a small fast round like 5.56x45 leaving a clean hole through somebody.Was unsure about cauterise bit because heat has to be there about a second before anything starts burning, but I knew that bigger fast rounds will leave gaping exit wounds which allow for massive amounts of bleeding and often very often kills with hits to the limbs.
