I agree with you Skat3rat; I don't think it could work in the mod and partially because of what AP_Norris said: people (douches lol) would save empty cans etc. to take up space on the server and then things wouldn't be able to be saved... Which means there needs to be a fix for that issue: a limited amount of storage space per player :) That way, groups of people could store the things they want as a group by having each member take on part of the storing burden. This would make it more beneficial to run with other players so that you could store more stuff (or stuff that takes up more space). In this scenario, the devs could possibly say that the storage areas needed to be "built", such as a wooden ammo crate or chest etc. The more survivors you have working together, the larger storage container your group could craft :) This is just brainstorming, so in no way do I think "this is the best way" to carry out this idea, but it's a start. Thoughts?

What it boils down to, I think, is that there needs to be a way for players to put items down in whatever place they can find without those items disappearing after a certain amount of time. There should be a "save this item" option or "save this drop" maybe so that you don't have to save each individual item as you drop it.

@DemonGroover I think I'm talking about Skalisty Island; although, in looking at the Day Z map online now, it looks like what I'm seeing may be a result of a modded server :p

How is it that my survivor knows how to give blood transfusions, take morphine-injections (which magically heal broken bones?!), gut animals and fly helicopters when he never did those things before the outbreak?! Zombies create all-knowing humans!

I definitely think that third-person view should be limited to third-person ONLY servers; that way, if it comes down to PvP, the third-person user doesn't have an advantage over the the first-person user because if it were real, they wouldn't be able to see where the other is hiding over a wall, around a corner etc.

The towers on the concrete bridge that connects the mainland to the island with a shipwreck on one side and 2 military satellite bases on it. Yes, the bases and the 2 deer stands on the island are DEFINITELY worth the trip, but that wide-open bridge leave you WAY too exposed to snipers etc and the 2 towers on that bridge never have jack s*** for loot. So if you're heading across that bridge, thinking you'll find that can of food that you need or that soda, or maybe even a mag or two...don't bother. Just watch your rear and hike it as fast as you can to the satellite stations and stock up on meds and guns (but they're infested with zeds.) Note: the satellite station that is NOT fenced-in and is composed of a bunch of buildings...that's an even bigger waste of time and space than the towers on the bridge to get there! None of the buildings are enterable and there is no loot to be found. It's just a trap to get you swarmed by Zs.

I like your ideas KoS; as well as your water idea Frytek. I think another thing that could be done is to use: old safes gun safes heavy duty gun cabinets armories old bank buildings with the safe still intact etc. Have things that you find that you can put a new padlock on or reset the combination etc. The padlock could, of course, be cut; but maybe make it hard to do so. For instance, if you wanted to break into a safe that was locked with a padlock, you'd need, maybe, a set of bolt cutters that take up 3-4 units of space to give it a pretty high opportunity cost that would make most players think "I'm not going to carry these bolt cutters at the expense of losing 4 slots of inventory just because I might run across a safe!" These options could be good stash options, but make them more rare than what would be needed to stash guns in the ground etc.
