Mods mods mods. What things could these be. Good or bad. Controversial it seems. Mods can be abusive. This makes Stridey sad. Mods can be lovely and do things rocket hadn't . This can mean vehicles before bohemia agrees. It can mean servers that are absolutely terrible and areant like dayz! Sorry for the above terrible rhyme. Mods are contestable. They can make a game better or destroy it completely. I mean epoch brought load to the dayz vanilla in my opinion. And... It will always be hard to make a game a goood flavour for everyone. So leave vanilla nice and plain, then use some sauce to chaneg the flavour. Some want more horror in dayz. Fine, develop a mod for that. On a side note. All clients mods are most likely advantageous and are not favorable in many peoples eyes.

Sorry if I sounded sour. But there are so many posts, fixing KOS, and I kinda expected people to read the roadmap as most people have.im as excited as you are but it seems a bit odd to suggest to developers what they are already doing

Why don't you spend some time reading. Most of this is on rockets to do list. Zombies are being added more and more with better ai Animals are in the works Base building is planned. Check rockets roadmap. And guess what.... This games a Alpha! It's just been released. KOS will always be a problem. Nobody has fixed it yet. It's not your suggestions are bad. It's like you have paid for a full game and have suggestions to make it better. The problem is you haven't paid for the full game. You have paid for an alpha. Your saying this stuff like they should have done it by now...

Why must it be undead to move around with only 1 limb. A virus could essentially do anything to your nerual connections.

Desktop or laptop? Laptop Monitor resolution:1366x768 ( Can be lowered ofc) CPU:AMD A6-5200 Graphics card:512MB ATI AMD Radeon HD 8400 RAM:*8.00GB Single-Channel DDR3 @ 665MHz (9-9-10-24) SSD? (Yes/No) Nah mate!

I'm thinking writing from like 16 people's point of views. First a government dude discovering said project, then a scientists view. Then military, then eventually a survivor.

I must meet this fellow, he sounds much an interesting guy!

Okay, but in game I'm a scientist who wears a freaking green mountain backpack. Ever since I got it back luck has seemingly followed me. Nearly killed by zombies thrice, help up twice, nearly died of thirst last hour!

Mmm. Just putting something out there for players who would like something to aim for. Basically summed up below. This is the past. You are the future. Is the virus really a menace to you. To some it provided an oppurtunity to live rich with others goods, for others it is the bane of their lives. Is it really best your create a cure.

Lurvely, kinda like more detail to my posts bit where it says "cheneraus fell". This is absolutely amazing writing skills.

Well. Dean suggested they are infected with a virus. This is technically initially fan-nonfiction. As it's based on factual studies, not on an actual virus. Don't worry. I'm thinking of writing a Dayz thriller style book. The charecter would discover a selection of hints to this story.

Inb4thelock Use the thread for this. Read inceptions bloody notice. http://forums.dayzgame.com/index.php?/forum-78/announcement-6-read-before-posting/

2 years ago a new strain of virus that manipulate olfactory nerve endings appeared. Scientists were intrigued and grow some in a lab. In further studies they discovered it manipulated the Front Cortex, Amygdala and the Ventromedial Hypothalamus. These parts of the brain were ravaged and caused the following effects: Loss of rational action Loss of long term memory Insatiable hunger Ignorance of pain Future research saw that it could move up the neurons from any part of the body to its target area, military scientists were intrigued and multiple dark national agencies broke into the labs and stole the culture. Amount these symptoms other bodily functions begin to deteriate eventually leading to the death of an infected subject. This was not wanted by the generals so the scientists set to work mutating and adapting the virus. Finally they had the virus, subjects had the ability to run for miles on end as they ignored pain signals from the muscles. It was not perfect, vision and other senses were weakened but this was acceptable. 2 months later governments dismissed the projects as being expensive and too dangerous to continue, unfortunately a large company brought out a large division of the governments research departments and moved the remnants of the dark project to their cheneraus based labs. They continued research and began to collect people of the street. Their plan to sell these subjects as living weapons. 5 months later, a year from the current day, a human rights activist Invaded the compound and released the subjects unknowing of the effect. Within 3 weeks cheneraus was in ruin. After that Europe fell. Within 3 months from the release only, some island territories remained uninfected. Some people had a natural genetic switch, these peoples bodies could destroy the virus on infection. You are one of these selected few. This is your story. This is DayZ. I based some of this on fact. Your olfactory nerves do lead do those areas of the brain and could, theoretically, be used as an entry route. Those parts of the brain are responsible for the listed symptoms.

Christmas crackers? You would need another person to open it, they could win. Maybe if your lonely you could force a zombie to open it. It would contain: Christmas hat. Made of paper. Corny joke/trivia Little plastic toy? Spinning wheel? Highly explosive material in the form of a trick cracker. Invite somebody to pull it with a friend.....

Out of interest, what graphics settings are you using?
