I really don't think politics and reconstruction of a civilisation is part of the scope of the game. You can always try, but it shouldn't be written in the game code. The code should support a "freedom of action" but should not assist the players in micro managing a group of any kind. I do know that as an anarchist i No one would follow orders, this would basically become some dumb trouble in terrorist town thing mixed with sims. I know I'd plant a bomb in a public place just to ruin as much society as possible because I despise this idea and how much it screws up dayz by turning it into a civilization 4 remake. Sorry if it came out rude. Also, people, please don't quote the entire original post.

I do not care to read this whole post, for it does not interest me. It is too long and does not need that kind of length. I didn't even read all of the post you made which I am responding to. I doubt even 15% of these people actually read the entire priginal post.

Input - meat Output - bait Tools - none FailChance - 0.00 Enchantment - attracts zombies or animals ActionType - placeable (like tank traps)

Input - leaves, grass, netting, hanging moss and seaweed Output - camouflage netting Tools - knife FailChance - 0.00 Enchantment - camouflage, less visibility from zombies, players and animals ActionType - weapon addition, clothing addition, vehicle addition

Although, it'll be called a "Hunting Knife".

Personally, I don't like the idea of proteins and fibres and stuff but the ideas of cooking food might be awesome and soup helping relieve the sickness faster is coo'. Also the MREs should have stuff in them when you find them. But also (I am pretty sure this has been suggested) you cancombine foods to create a cacophony of flavours like frank an beans combined with bread will gain more food filling? I don't know. I will revise that suggestion I just made.

It is possible that Rocket meant stuff like implementing more realistic ways of doing things and YOU being able to use your real life knowledge to do things in different ways. I personally hate the idea of skills in DayZ because it add too much RPG to what's meant to beva survival, it also causes a whole new kind of player, the leveller. These people would just run around killing and every single animal or killing every zombie to get better at it.

It is very difficult to get a gun in the UK from what I hear. Though I do see some Scandanavian stuff being possible.

Cool. I think it'd be pretty awesome set in Europe but I do seriously doubt that the devs are in any state to be making a new map. Remember, literally everything I wrote was based off of tiny amounts of information I largely made up. A lot my weapon information comes from the one time I was really bored and watched Deadliest Warrior on Netflix. As for the geography, I have hardly had any formal geographical education. Excuse my lack of reasearch.

I can't see DayZ being set in Ireland to well. It's a wonderful place, but it's gun laws are too difficult for DayZ, guns being a driving force in the game. Not only that but the large urban centers might be too large. Though on the note of guns, there may still be flamthrowers and carbines left over from the IRA days. I think if it were to be set in a smaller more rural area of Ireland maybe back 30 years it might work better. It would have some magnificent scenery and would make great use of small fishing boats to get to amazing areas such as Giant's Causeway. Though, the lack of military bases and DayZ-ish places may be an issue. I really do like the history and land of ireland too. This is all based on my very limited knowledge on Ireland. Don't get me wrong, it's probably a great place. I think it could work being set in Germany (obviously not all of it). Having a way of being able to access the Alps would be awesome aswell as the amount of military bases and such would make the country a possible candidate. Not that they're going to be making any new maps any to time soon or possibly ever. It's very unlikely to end up taking place anywhere too much more diffrent.

About the DayZero stuffs... Go to Zombie.nu and make an account. It will actually ask for your GUID and will actually whitelist you. Not to mention they are the official site for DayZero. I tried that BMRF and it didn't work either.

I know you people are thinking about setting the emotions and inviting all the feels but the game is largely supposed to be a survival and not ALL these ideas are needed. As for the original post, the overgrowing would be very difficult. First off, what about, say, 300 days after the game launches. That's approximately 1200 restarts, will the whole eorld be a jungle? This would also cause the issue of people with lower quality pcs having graphical problems. Thus, people would lower their setting, destroying the overgrowth out of THEIR game. But, for everyone else, we still see the overgrowth. Then, comes the question of "will we be able yo shoot through these thins?" And "How will us lower pcs see the thicket?" Just like in the mod, you will THINK your hidden in some tall grass, but to someone whom has lower quality settings, you are out in the open. Ready to be harvested. And for a game that will pride itself upon being playable and equal for all computers this would be VERY intesive. As well, how would the artists develope texture for every single branch of extensive vegetation! He street lights would not be blinking though. The power geid would be out. Long out. And there wouldn't be any long lasting batteries. REMEMBER: this is a small, rural, post-Soviet, post communit state. There simply wouldn't be the finaces to allow these people to afford batteries or even solar powered lights for their municipalities. As for the rest of the post, great job!

@Skat3rat: post number one, Please don't qoute the entire original post. We all know you're talking about this post, that's why you replied here.

As someone who knows a thing or two about programming, this would not be too hard to integrate. As OP just said before me you could just select and area of and item and just designate it as one, certain area. This could be done on several items at once because there are mainly just similar type-groups of clothing (e.g. T-shirts, long pants, shorts, jumpers, etc.) That have the same amount of player model coverage. I think this idea would be excellent, though yesterday Rocket did say that the values were being worked on.

I think this idea should be transfered to the DayZ Epoch mod forums... This idea would be great if not for the thoughts on an actual, full out, law system. Locking people in cells is horrible because if you were an absolute arsehole you would stun, cuff and store someone in a prison cell. For no reason at all. Instantly making them leave the server, unlikely to return. The cells would cause so much pain and suffering for people. As seen already wih badmins people eould abuse powers such as being a "police officer" to control people. Tranq. guns would be mich overpowered, as you could find one, then tranq. the first person you see. The idea of DayZ is that a zombie virus has struck this land and now complete anarchy has broken loose. People aren't tryingbto recover government yet. The zombies are too big of an issue. As seen in real life situations it take very long times before government and structure is restored. I just don't see and actual use for this suggestion in the standalone.

Agreed. It'd be beautiful to see an SA with DayZero like weapons. All redone to fit the location. Adding to the authenticity and realism of the game.

Can you please understand that as Fraggle said, this is a free mod made for free by people like you and me. And for a 4 year old game, that didn't support most of the required stuff for the mod so Rocket's ingenuity had to make up for that. The zombie AI was built almost entirely from the ground up by Rocket on his own. The telepoting happens because of the zombie pathfinding whcih works in a way where the zombies will merely reuse your movement directions or use the quickest way to get to you (in some cases it is through walls). This game/mod is in development and the issues on pathfinding and clipping through walls have been adressed and are being worked on an will be ready for standalone. As for the bleeding issues you mentioned, I agree, it does take a few too little hits to cause bleeding damage to a player. But this is being worked on. Of course people will still play the mod but it really doesn't make too much sense for a great game making company to make many of it's people work on a mod whereas they could be working on an actually full game which will create revenue for the company.

Here is ageiculture as a commercial drug. Agriculture should not be taken during time where you do not wish to create permanant settlement because no-one cares to or in situations where it would take to much time and effort to be useful. Agriculture took 48 days to progam, so please use it! Agriculture may (and did) lead to... • civilization • settlement • slavery • racism • rewinding of evolution • faster advances in technology and... may cause every other kind of way to better yourself from others - Just a wuick bit of history -

I agree with this suggestion. Also, some kind of an effect should commence if you take to much medicine or morphine, ect. E.g. too many painkillers; OD and pass-out. Too much morphine; death.

I like this idea as zombie aggro is A LOT more common now - almost to a point where I no longer even TRY to avoid them, I just run right through - but it is kinda overpowered. I think with a few tweaks this idea will become more feesable. Here are my suggestions: • knife becomes infected and should not be ised to gut animals, it will make the meat infected, ergo will infect you if ingested • chance to get infected from wearing this blood-garb • can be washed out by cleaning in water, though will not come out of clothes entirely wearing heresaid infected clothes will give a say, 2% chance for being infected if not already, rolled once every three seconds and if the clothes were washed, rolled every five seconds

Leave KoS alone! He's a great contributor (as you can see from this post) who's native tongue is not English.

This is one GREAT taco. Agreed.

I just think that this ridiculus. It's a zombie APOCALYPSE. Nobody cares to leave their keys in or around their car. Personally, if I didn't have keys to a car or wires I'd just slash their tires. I think this ruins the attachment that comes in DayZ. The hatred of the person who stole your groups white pickup truck with full fuel, loaded with guns, ammo, mres and LIFE. Now, who does not enjoy stealing someones' group's car, leaving them in the airfield with an attack heli on the way? Hearing their shouts and curses. Feeling the adrenaline as M16 shots ring through the cold Chernarus moribg air.

You do realise Rocket has already confirmed the implementation of hand signals into the standalone, right?

The point of DayZ is that you are immune to the ZOMBIE virus, ergo, this thought makes no sence.
