It is said that a hunter gatherer required 10 square kilometers to provide for a family.Or is it 10 by 10? Either way, no friggin deers every fifty metres, maybe a rabbit every fifty metres those things can be common as hell. Rabbits should be seen out most often at dawn/ sunset and hang out in little packs in the late day sun near dirt burrows. Things like deer that provide a proper bit of food and would be a bigger target should spawn in at small amounts, ten or so at any given time? They are like zombies and should roam the forests running from players and zombies but also sniffing out bits of food to eat and old tin cans etc etc. Bears and mountain lions should be damn rare if added at all, the bear should be less dangerous as it's more known to be defensive, a mountain lion however is one of those predators that's happy to eat a person and even walk the suburban streets. They should be the the equivalent to bloodsuckers from Namalsk, very stealthy, very scary, very dangerous and they never friggin give up till their dead. Not too sure what the actual wildlife in the lovely chernarussain bit of land is, but I'd really like to see rabbits, deer, mountain lions, bears, boars (which need to be a bit more aggressive in comparison to the mod) and the odd bit of lifestock. But lifestock should be almost as rare as deer because they are domesticated, and most would be in a fenced paddock with a zombies moving in crawling under fences and running at them untill they drop from exhaustion, it would make sense to have a few escapees to be around for whatever reason.

Wait a minute... air conditioning doesn't keep you warm. I like car batteries, gear appearing in boot, shooting out tires, abundance but much stuffed, radio in car but just for listening (unless its a police car/ fire truck/ ambulance/ military), possibly oil changes as a simple repair, possible to drive (however limited) with popped/ destroyed/ no tires. Some of my own input. I wanna see some manual gearboxes that have been discussed in other threads. Shooting from windows for passengers, if they wanna be terrible people they can shoot them out from inside (a possible quick solution for having a shattered windscreen would be shooting it out properly, maybe popping it out with your hands?) an option to duck down in any seat including drivers. Seatbelts. Sliding across back seats, climbing over the front seats from back into drivers seat and from front passenger aswell. Let us have restrained people in the car. Local seat space access so a guy in the back can't grab a pistol from the front glovebox and pull it on the driver, to expand using inventory from the back would be boot, using it from centre would be the back seat and using it from the front would be the front seats. Realistic damage, no instadeath of tires when you hit a stump/ rock, maybe front bummer damage and if enough force full hull, engine and windscreen. Hitting a person/ large animal like a cow causes them to go up over the bonnet and smash the windscreen removing what often seems like invincibility inside a vehicle. No third person in cars (preferably for people too) I think if we just use first person we'd get used to it and be very happy, its immersive and IMO dayZ is a simulator that needs to feel immersive. That's all I can think of for now. There's probably some typos but tell me if any ideas stick out to any of you.

I left my gun bag infront of the Churno hotel.

You can have free DLC's and expansions.But I think in DayZ's case you would call it a patch/ update as it would most likely be non-optional.

It might have, gone down the barrel blocking the bullet though.

Ammo in a fire blows the casings up, they did it on mythbusters.They even blew up a .50 in an oven. I've also seen a vid where a guy fires and blows up an armed forces members mag, then he gets knocked out and falls down some stairs.

We need it in a sea plane version! Sea planes. So much sea, so little sea planes.

I'm the same, I'd hold it on my left side but with my right hand higher, so my rotation is less impaired.I also have my right hand further forwards because that's controlling the axe head and I have better co ordination with my right hand. I think when you apply the idea you'll also be better at blocking with your right arm, so why have it at your side doing nothing as you hold the axe. Why not have your best arm protecting you so you get a better chance at blocking a hit from a zombie. When swinging through from the left to the right your right arm is also doing most of the work.

Great looking game sofar, hopefully we get a bit more variety of loot so there ain't whole squads with blue bags. Add the AK in, a CZ, A double barrel, a pump action. Point I'm getting at is I want a bit more to explore loot wise, seems like two/ four good lives and I'll have picked up everything there is to. In contrast to the mod I've still never even seen some of the guns.

He said something about sticking labels on objects.I wouldn't mind pasting my name on my gun, or what type of drug I have stored in a syringe. A note affront the base. So you know a little bit about the people your stealing from... Would you steal from a group of heros? Note the location of a car and what you need to get it working. Etc etc. Put on the car where you found it, maybe everybody can do that and there'd be a long list of all the locations and groups that one car had been with.

I remember this one time on fallout 3 I dropped about 2000 guns into my megaton house.It was about 0-1 FPS. On Xbox aswell btw

Gentlemen gentlemen pls.Aslong as you don't use Internet explorer or Safari you're a respectable citizen.

They may, with the tarp.They wouldn't be over a metre long, would they?

I had an idea that I suggested it too.I may have been thinking of your idea.

Yeah, but there's lots of devs, some will have more to do than others.I'm sure there'd be modellers just working on things like this different backpack models with tarp and string covered guns poking out the top of them. There'd probably be doing that or just making more types of preserved food or something.

Love it.+1 Adds value to smaller weapons, smaller guns should have a realistic commodity. If you're gun has a folding stock it should be shorter or doesn't show up at all. +1 Maybe you can sling guns on your backs, but the disadvantage is that everybody can see exactly what you have there.

I don't see smell doing much that your ears can't. In the case of something especially smelly being nearby, maybe there could be a notification like the hunger ones in SA.

Was good read.If we take coast spawns off the menu, I'd really like some varying spawns. Maybe you spawn in crawling from a crashed car, or awake in a bus of blood smears. Maybe you could spawn in a hospital bed at night, everything dark. You grab a scalpel and do your best to escape. The higher loot place you spawn the worse condition you'd end up starting out in with the zombies that you'd have to fight, its a natural balancer.

Tell me about apache

I think, there should be a few small private hives run by trusted members of the community that Rocket himself could mark as trusted. This would keep the preferred variation of difficulty and community we see now while not having a bunch of servers run by the dicks that are really ruining the private hives.

Only if the engine has been on, fully cooled by half an hour?

If you hit a person with a hatchet on the train tracks at the Churno train station and he gets knocked out.The Hype train will spawn down the tracks and show up to run the guy over just as he's waking up.

I also like private hives in the way that you get to know people. And people aren't super well equipped from server hopping and stuff.

But most of those aren't Easter eggs, they're items intended for gameplay purpose. Just because its rare don't make it an Easter egg it's gotta be secret, or funny like me writing 1.21GW as a guess in my Physics exam.

Couldn't get into the steam group for some reason...
