Why would you need 3 can openers. Ever. Do they break after 5 uses or something, if so that's ridiculous.

You gotta admin though, spawning near Balota when it was safe is pretty nice, you get enough gear to protect yourself and go explore the rest of the map. Although making it an end-game area is a good call, having people hunt new-spawns with M4s and Mosins ain't fun.

Taking out the compass is fine, but looking at it needs to be fixed. Currently the compass is too high when you hold it, maybe angle it a bit lower, so we can, ya know, see it. Most of you are saying it's realistic, but in real life you're not going to hold it above your eye level or at an angle where you can't see 100% of the dial correctly.

I can see most of those making sense, moose could be in the Northern part of Chernarus. Monkeys don't make much sense however, taking in account the location, time period and climate of the place.

I just avoid the apartments because it's the laggiest location on the entire map.

I've died several times and I'm never thinking "Fuck that guy he won't get my shit", I'm thinking "Damnit, well time to respawn". And the respawn button never works for me so I rejoin the server.

I don't want my Running Simulator turning into a Wilderness Toilet Simulator. Also, you're never too far from a village that has a pump.

If there was a very large variety of them I'd think it'd be cool. Maybe even break a pen over a rag to get a coloured rag to tie around somewhere? Also, if they could be placed on any limb. So in a group you're all wearing 2 brown armbands and 2 black rags around your legs.

It didn't happen to me but in Balota I looked down the ladder on the Comm Tower and saw 4 dead people next to the ladder. My guess it that they all fell to their death trying to climb down and loot the one who died previously.

Get a Hunting backpack, and shove a Mountain backpack inside it. It sounds stupid, but you can still put things in the mountain backpack. All backpacks take up 20 slots / 4 rows, but a mountain backpack has 35 slots / 6 rows so you're gaining 2 slots of inventory without the cost of having a giant thing of your back. So far I've managed to shove 5 mountain backpacks inside eachother, it's a giant hassle getting things out but I gained 10 slots of space :D Although this'll probably be nerfed eventually by making backpacks take up as much space as they carry.

He's a troll, ignore him. He has nothing but rude and ignorant things to add to the discussion. Before you respond: Rude - Your behavior Ignorant - The body disappearing is a bug and will be removed sooner or later, if not the next patch like the OP is infering. I might try this pre-patch for DayZ, thanks.

Well, today I met someone in Cherno, I talked to him and asked him to holster his weapon and that I was comming down. Then he shoots me in the face and I die, my 2 friends with rifles run down after him and attack him, he then yells "Lol faggots" and battle logs. Am I going to kill everything that moves now? No, that's too easy. My friends decided to just KOS anyone with a gun, but I disagree. I'm pissed that a piece of shit player shot me in the face, but if I let that change my view on the whole game then that doesn't make in any better than him.

Steam family sharing. Have him log into his account on your PC while DayZ is installed, then when he tries to run it you'll have to give him permission. In-game, you can't have 2 profiles. I'd like to see that addition, that way I can play with my friends with one character and do my own thing with another.

I've found plenty of guns in the airfield, but only ever once ammo. You could remove the guns or the ammunition from the airfield and force people to move North to find the other components.

One idea is highscores, it wouldn't be something you see while playing (it'd break immersion) but in the title screen you can see that stuff over top of your character model, and maybe a tab to the side saying what your friends / top players have. Highscores for: -Zombies kills -Time alive -Food eaten etc. They're pretty meaningless and they're only for show, but some people like that, and for quite a few would be enough to make them want to stay alive. And I think leaving out 'Players Killed' would be a good idea, so it doesn't encourage more head hunting.

I've only ever seen one screenshot from the Steam Community Hub, it's good to see more. Hopefully I can log in some hours during the day.

I'd say a decent chunk of people who play are bandits, they aren't going to be too happy to KOS and find out they destroyed half of what they wanted and the other guys gun. And killing unarmed people to save your own stuff from them is ridiculous. There's no reason to kill unarmed people "in self defense".

I looked this up, but didn't find any good answers. What is reset on a server when it restarts? And for Epoch servers as well, the same question. Thanks.

Thanks, and how long is "recently"? A few hours or a week?

I have a different experience, I just started today, I met 2 other fresh spawns on a road. I called for them to stop, spoke with them, and partnered with one of them while the third guy went on his own. I stuck with him for at least an hour and we became friends until I died of thirst and he died of a zombie attack. Later on tonight I met another guy in Electro, he surprised me while I was looting the hospital and yelled out friendly. Not only did he let me live, he gave me a weapon to clear out the hoard outside the window (for some reason the zombies couldn't get past the thin sheet of broken glass) and led me to another gun to arm myself with. The only people I've met so far in DayZ have helped me, yet now that I have a gun I feel as if anyone would be willing to kill me for my stuff. Was it the fact that I was unarmed and had nothing useful that sent away Bandits or was it just luck that the people I met helped me?

Hello, been interested in DayZ for at least half a year, I played for the first time today. I thought joining the forum would be a good idea too :)
