Yes. Everything about this, yes . We need a backstory for the putbreak when we get closer to 1.0 , I think back story's really bring people in , it doesn't have to be something super specific just something nice and scary like the story above ! Plus beans !

Yess !! And you know , the first construction vehicle in the picture is already in game as a static object at that severograd mining operation (NE of severograd) all we need to do is convince the devs to make them drivable .. Just think of the possibilities for construction purposes , or if you don't want to go that far it still would be a decent vehicle to find when you have nothing else as it would protect you from zombies (and some go tops 30 mph) .

I thought with the frying pan you didn't need the tripod , just put it straight on the fire , did you try that ? It's been so long since I've cooked with a pot or pan in this game lol ....

Too close to Tisy mate , isn't there a military base there D:

I'm not sure how you missed it, but devs have stated the loot isn't as intended ... Certain servers being completely empty is a bug with private servers (and apparently some public?) and the devs had said they are still working on a fix ... As for public servers with no loot , the central global economy system was literally JUST put in , so please don't assume that this Is their end goal for loot ... It in time , WILL respawn correctly (even on the coast) but it will be somewhat scarce like now , just not THIS scarce .. So for all you forum noobs out there know this : loot was never intended to be non - existent , private servers are bugged , and the central economy system is in it's infancy so please bear with it and log any weird bugs on the bug tracker, loot will get better :) !

Already been talked about by devs a long time ago , salt was talked about for lone wolves and refrigarators (ya a little weird) by dean hall for storing meat at camps ... I think an old wooden ice box (first made refrigerators) would be a great idea , you just need to find ice ... Maybe if they add salt and bags of ice the games food storage would get way more interesting :) ... But I agree we don't need a damn pot to cook a steak , just find a nice big rock and throw it on the hot coals , throw your burger or steak on that bad Larry after it heats for ten minutes and you have a cooked steak after 25 more minutes (of course the time would be shortend in game ).

Yes it's still a go , sorry the private servers are still requiring a fix (I'm hoping it comes this Monday -Wednesday) for loot , eugen harton on twitter said they were still working on a fix so as soon as it comes the loot will respawn properly again! But there is loot , very scarce though , about 6 of us are pretty well geared and still finding more loot but it's spread out pretty well all over chernarus , so if you're not looking to comb over a wasteland wait for the fix to loot up !

Lol kichi plays as a girl =P ... Many beans for being a camp hunting ninja though lol ...

=) that was an eerie video lol, i knew he was an evil bastard the minute he waved lol! Cannibals are running rampant now, i kinda like it =)...

My groups 5 tents set up for a party in a private sever have all survived , we packed up a bunch of stuff before Wednesday but the wipe didn't even erase any of the remaining items in the tents , so I'm not sure if it's like this on all servers , I hear some still eat tents randomly ... To OP: this is a good idea , just be careful of those veggie bandits !!

And that's why this game can't stop going in the survival direction it's in right now .. Many people want the survival elements to stop growing or at least be postponed until everyhing else is worked out and I think that would be the worst idea .. We need all these systems to be implemented ASAP (as they are being added) because after a few months of glitches and bug filing we have all these systems that push us closer together : harder zombies , less loot , more gardening , and soon to be more hunting (when fishes are fixed and more animals are added) . All these things have a chance of making us killers but the way things are with such scarce ammo as well, there's a slim chance that the majority of us will just want to PVP . Player interaction for me has been getting more and more friendly as the months go by , sure there will still be bandits killing for scarce food but there will also be more friendlies who are too afraid to lose the little gear they have for just a little more , when if you team up you could get a whole hell of a lot more .

Speakin of ignorance , your post stinks of it .... The only reason why people shit on these complainers is because they don't come out right and state their opinions like adults , instead they come here and make a post stating "fuck this stupid game do the fucking developers even know what they are doing ??? Like who's idea was it to make ZOMBIES HARDER !??" Lol , we know that constructive criticism is needed which is why us "elitists" are the ones that bring these bugs and half broken mechanics to the bug tracker before the complainers even start to complain on the forums (oh and you do know the bug tracker is for bugs and broken mechanics right ? ).So stop being an asshole and tryin to assume all of us are "elitists" because my play style IS "casual" , I stay on the coast at all times and still survive , not because I'm the bestiest at everything and better than you but because I realize that this game , although it got more challenging and some things are broken ATM , DOES cater to all play types . If you wanna be some bad ass pvp wannabe then go for it , but know this : now that the games getting harder don't expect to be able to run and gun all the time without some survival troubles .. You think this game is being run into the ground by elitists but once again I must tell you these "elitists" attacking the voracious complainers are the FIRST ONES to log broken mechanics into the bug tracker , we then mention it once on the stable discussion and that's that , no bitching, Moaning or insulting "elitists" simply because you're mad that you can't find food or a gun in the first house you run into . All play styles are catered to : if you wanna be an "elitist" and go straight inland , do it , if you wanna be a big badass PVPer, go do it but realize that you better prepare to be a PVPer (get lots of food first and no I don't mean pick berries , no one is FORCING you to be a survivor play style , you're just assuming with butthurt rage that this game is forcing you to play a certian way...it's not but you have to realize that this is a SURVIVAL GAME, in which you have to SURVIVE SOMETIMES , so don't complain that you have to gear up on food before pvping , don't say this game is being run into the ground because of elitists , because yet again the people who you call "elitists" are the ones filing bug tracker reports while you and many others are thinking of how they can dismiss an "elitists" opinion with insults and how they can totally rule out how dayz is a true survival game , if you don't want to be a survivor at one point or another (having to go hungry for a long time , or gettin constantly attacked by vicious Zeds , that will get better by the way don't assume everything's going to stay the same) then you have to ask yourself "so, do I even want to play a survival game?" So to sum it up for you ,whatever you think you are it doesn't matter if you want to play this game follow these steps and don't pretend like you are doing dayz a big favor by backing up a bunch of people who are just raging about shit that we "elitists" have already made aware of to the devs (odd Loot distribution, hardly any animals , fileting fish not working , zombies too fast , these are all bugs that we "elitists" logged before any of you complainers even knew they existed): play the game , realize what's broken or needs fixing , log that info Into bug trackers and state your opinion POLITELY on the forums , if somebody tries to argue with you , well that's life and you can't change their opinions , but what we know for sure is that the devs don't care for casual run and gun pvp play styles any more , but the fact is they still allow those play styles in the game and don't say that's not true because again I'm someone who sees everything in dayz as going in a good direction so technically by your ignorance I'm an "elitist" but if you know how I play I'm technically a "casual"'play style , although I play for very long hours a day I ALWAYS stay on the coast and guess what ? I still survive , and I still think with all these bugs that my play style is totally viable , so this isn't a "toughen up" post but rather a , "get the fuck off of your denial trip" post , because we all know that plenty of people are surviving and that plenty of those people aren't just elitist fan boys , there's casuals , PVPers , Heros, cannibals , dean halls , you name it and the play style still exists ... So don't think that you need to change the direction of the survival aspect, this is the direction the devs have wanted to follow for so long and now that I've seen what a great game this is Already I'm all for seeing where it goes , so please remember this : run and gun playstyles / super casual play styles are gettin harder to accommodate in his game but that doesn't mean it's impossible , and remember these "elitists" are really just people who care so much for the future of this game that when they see a bug or glitch being explained by a rager , we have to chime in an tell them exactly where they are wrong , mostly because these ragers start off with "everyone hates these new zombies and loot get rid of them " when they damn well know that there are plenty of people that disagree with them , and there are others that agree with the ragers but they realize all they Can and should do is to log the issue on the bug tracker and drop a comment here on the forums , that way people notice and they aren't just being an asshole like 75% of the people on here complaining about valid things ... Sure they are complaining about something that needs fixing but we can criticize without having to whine , insult , and explode . so if you're one of those people that like to attack the forums instead of politely putting in your opinion then I suggest you stick to just being a bug tracker and log those on the bug tracker , it's a big help and it helps WAAAAYYY more than coming here and saying "you're all elitists , this game is broken because it's too hard and some things are still broken " this Is alpha so once again stop denying that fact , log bug trackers and politely drop your opinion here and things WILL change for the better, that's it and I don't know how some of you think that that is not enough the devs DO look at the bug tracker ya know , and that you have to come onto the forums to create stupid threads like this thinking it's going to change something ? Ignorance and denial is all that is , people want this game to be a pvp fest again, I hope that never happens but once again you can still be a PVPer if you like NOTHING IS STOPPING YOU!

Well when the stone furnace fireplace was added the devs said it was an alternative to cooking pots , but I honestly haven't tried cooking on one without a pot in a long time so it could be broken in this patch :/ regardless there are more ways to cook being planned , like the stick thing but if stone ovens really don't cook any meat correctly that would definitely be a glitch , because what's an oven for if you still need to use a pot !

I play on a private server too , it's "bone dry" as well it seems , but honestly I haven't had to pick apples except for one occasion (some areas seem to respawn loot while others don't) ... The point is don't just assume "there's no loot here so I have to pick apples" try jogging (not sprinting) to the nearest inland town and don't panic when you start to get hungrier, try and hold off apple picking until you've walked inland at least two towns with no success as it is a waste of time doing it right off the bat believe it or not .... Also loot the weirdest things you can think of (outhouses, offbeat houses and broken vehicles) and you will find plenty of little canned goods and survival materials, but don't spend more than 15 mins in each town or else you will be dead by the third town for sure if you don't find food .... To OP : Cooking on a stick is announced already , more alternatives to making fire has been heavily talked about and I expect a number of new fire making methods given the input from the devs already that they wanted more options to start fires . Also if you don't know already you can make an "oven fireplace" by adding small rocks you find on the beach to a regular fireplace , you can cook steaks in there without a pot or pan !

I definitely agree , it seems all of these are planned or have been talked about though ... One thing we need now and not in the long run is way more animals to hunt , I feel like somehow all the animals got wiped out too because you rarely ever see them. With all the people dead you would think that a lot of animals would start traveling down to the coast randomly , and breeding more often ... I just want there to be a large chance to see animals EVERYWHERE it makes the game feel more alive so to speak .

Keep up the great work guys , there's lonely nights that the old lady creates with too much nagging that is only quelled by putting on my headphones and playing some dayz ! Ain't that some shit !

I voted Prison island, because although it can be a security disaster, it has the greatest potential to protect ourselves ... the attackers will have to swim in , only being a challenge when nightfall comes, but by then we will definitely have some people up high watching the area =) ! Keep it coming mates its tied 8 v8 for Prison Island / Black Lake!

Chop the tree down with an axe mate !

That's not an image of chernarus the fictional land but rather the area near Russia which includes this south zagoria place ... So i think arma 2 and dayz lore is said to be based off of these lands but I'm not sure if in the lore these areas are all attached together (as many places in the game map aren't an exact replica of other cities near Chernogorsk , but rather taken from all over the devs native and neighboring country sides ). So I really believe they will not stitch these places together as it all might be connected in real life but like I said in game it's all different aside from Chernogorsk being there !

We appreciate this Smoss stable branch updates are no joke !! :)

I really like the idea of sleeping , like nettles said it's a great way to promote realism in team work: You and a mate have just done a Cherno run on foot , you get back to your base in northern moglievka and now after a nice big rabbit stew you realize that your dead tired , you tell your buddy you're going to take a nap for 2 minutes (anything longer would be weird, maybe five maximum)... While you're asleep some bandits slip into camp , you wake up well slept , to hear your bro scream in terrifying horror as his Hand is forced into the fire that had just cooked your meal by said bandits , they didn't expect a sleepy brother to be inside napping dayz style so as they laugh each one is capped by an sks from you , who just got the right amount of sleep and was at the right place at the right time because of wonderful sleep... Also It would further help the stamina system , and make it more immersive ,requiring you and your friends to rest (and not just sit down) after traveling half of chernarus (I mean come on guys isn't it a bit worrying that we can run all the way across the continent and only need to sit down when we want our gun to stop shaking?). I think the rest / stamina system is too simplified now and would love to see sleep added as it would really change the way we move around places , just think of how badass it would be to have to take five minute naps while one person kept guard , it would be an intense moment for both clans and lone wolves , also sleeping in vehicles would become possible , just In case you're not near a safe house or if your passenger wants to sleep while you drive .... and of course adding sleep would be a great one up to lone wolf play styles as it makes opportunities to attack large camps Of people easier, you will have some sort of advantage If they are asleep . Also to avoid annoyance you would only have to sleep once every 6-12 hours of being logged in (and only for five minutes max), so if you only play an hour a day maybe you won't need to sleep everyday , but if you're like me when I play dayz and play for at least 4 hours a session then it would affect you more . Even being only a five minute thing every 6-8 hours would make a difference in our travels , of course the numbers could be changed according to what works best but I think you should go no longer than 12 hours without some type of tiredness setting in and no less than 6 hours of running without sleep to get the "you are tired" message . Dayz is definitely a game changer (no pun intended) to the whole industry of video game fun ... I mean were farming crops , hunting animals , making backpacks and having freelance open world encounters with all different types of people with all different types of personalities and gear for fun , and I never thought a game could bring so much to the table that others have not and could never , that I truly believe we need to go the extra mile with dayz and not stop at just a stamina system . I want my experience to be as close to a zombie apocalypse as possible and for me that includes the dangers of having to watch each other's backs while sleeping and getting tired and having to deal with it's consequences (or having to lone wolf sleep out in the woods in a tent , so freaking terrifying and adrenaline inducing, but also a huge step towards realism and making chernarus feel less "traversable" which it is far too traversable now with our infinite stamina and no neeed to rest other than to help out your weapon sway ! ).

I think this is just due to how the user interface is set up , certain items that have certain categories are able to have those plus or minus signs next to them , it could mean that eventually it could have something attached to it but I think it's just because the binoculars are technically not a consumable so they are given a different category (in terms of coding it ) which makes this plus/minus sign appear much like for boots and containers ...

Do you guys somehow have any AUG's or M4s on the musty gaming private server? I only ask because I'm trying to loot around on that specific server for goodies for tatankos party in April , but can't seem to find much , if you guys have any loot you wanna give away on the musty gaming private server id be happy to oblige :) !

Wow . I've destroyed that game every which way on every console it came out for including dreamcast (ya I'm THAT into re lol ) and have yet to realize just how creepy the soundtrack to that game is . Beans for you when I get off of this damn mobile .

Can't wait to see the reloading or changing weapons without moving , I hate when I'm in a bush or perfectly behind a building and my dude blows his cover because he has to switch his weapons :/... Also this is a little off topic but when are we getting vodka , cigarettes and bud? I can see it going so well with using animations while moving.... A smoking Slav running down the street with a bottle of vodka in his other hand lol .
