I've never found berries in this experimental update :( ... When the berries first appeared a couple months ago I found them all the time but now nothing over 15 tries :0!

Ya I don't think 90% is plausible , it's only been a few months after the apocalypse supposedly , and there's literally billions if not more canned goods on the earth now , so I think maybe if anything it should be reduced by ~ 25% and the animals need a HUGE boost in population cuz the animals can't get infected in dayz (according to what deans explanation of the dayz virus is , it makes people go mad) so there should be thousands of animals roaming around (maybe not that many but you get the picture ).

To be fair , this was never suggested in such depth in the suggestions section and I really like the vines idea , waterfalls would be great to see as a visual too .. And 64 bit servers are internal testing now so I can see dx11 being up and running "soon" ...

I like the idea , it should be one of the first "vehicles" alongside bikes :)

A lot of people have suggested decaying corpses and I'm all for that idea .. I mean it makes perfect sense , bodies decay in real life why not in the game ? We all know this crappy 32 bit client won't be able to support decaying bodies til they disappear (turn into bones which after another ten minutes turns into dust or just vanishes, it's unrealistic in that sense but more realistic than bodies not decaying and suddenly disappearing .) but what about when the new renderer/64 bit comes in? I'm sure it could handle it.

Not now raoul, although that backpack would redefine all that is manly and/or would be a great backpack for the "runt of the group" , I wouldn't want to waste an item in the database for this .... Yet ... I could defly see crazy things like this all over the place upon release of the actual 1.0 version :). Kittylicious.

Did I hear mention of being able to set things on fire a patch before this hunting one ? I now it didnt make it in but I hope they are still working on something like this , I would like to see by games release the ability to set whole forests aflame :0 ?!

Sorry if this sounds stupid but ... Where da animals at ! I've only got to play about 2.5 hours over the past two nights cuz of work but so far I've traveled from Olsa to n.e airfield all the way to nadezhino practically hitting all the towns I could in the woods and traveled mostly through the woods .. I even found a mountain I thought was Everest (lol someone told me it was klen afterwards :P) and ran all up and down that thang and no deer or anything =( . So my question is where are you guys finding them ? Edit : my trip was on two spawns , one spawned in Olsa and went almost as far as right above elektro , then next spawn after Dying to a zombie was somewhere close to solnichny which I then ran close to nadezhino , maybe I should go More north ?

Now that we have hunting in general I would love to see those birds that are always making noises :) .. It would be great to not only hunt them (although I don't know if there would be a bird worthy of hunting for its meat) but also just to see them flying around and landing.. And by birds I mean like owls in trees at night time , hawks or condors or whatever big birds are native, if any, to the area chernarus would be based on , and then maybe a blue jay just for looking good ? Edit. : seagulls on the beach would be great too , I could feed them the rest of my mcdonalds .. Edit 2 : maybe groups of bats as well ? They would be awesome to see in a firefight or just on a lonely night .

While setting things on fire isn't a "survivalistic" thing per se the game is in alpha and that stage is for feature developement, and If I'm not mistaken that is a feature ... Haha but anyways you never wanted to throw a Molotov into a house of camping bandit squads ? Like how else are we supposed to infiltrate a house with m4s sticking out all the windows except for sacrificing our lives over and over again , that doesn't seem like survival to me , hence burning down the interior of the house forcing them out . And remember this is supposed to be the apocalypse , I'm all for tree hugging too but when people are threatening you and all you have is a bottle of booze /gas a lighter and a rag you're going to use it to defend yourself , especially if you've already been spotted and have no guns ... Sneaking around as a fresh spawn trying to loot only works for so long , and besides seeing a system like spreading fire would be revolutionary and truly show that dayz can break through any barriers presented by multiplayer games ..

I've seen all the threads that have suggested this and created my own. I agree with it completely but only for hardcore servers THAT WANT IT , the worst thing to do to people is to force something on them ... But plenty of people like myself and the OP I'm sure , would gladly join servers with this option , and noone who would wanna cheat this system would even join these servers most likely (unless they're party poopers).. This is definitely for realisms sake and should be seen more seriously , cuz I know everyone is used to constant "military like connection " to their survivor friends but we gotta realize this is a unique survival game , and the experience should mirror that .. I hate getting hunted down by completely silent squads, albeit it doesn't always mean they win but still we should be thinking of integrating these neat ideas because they will only bring strangers closer together and squads of friends better at surviving like survivors as opposed to walkie talkie wielding military men with constant connection .

Ya that works I would just love to see aerial critters now that hunting and animals are in :0

Haha I dunno I was just throwing some species out there ... But hell ya man ! You can hunt the quail irl !

Oh I didn't say that it would be coming out , just when fireplaces were announced to come out in this patch about a week ago I could have sworn something was said about eventually being able to set things aflame , and I meant foliage not zombies but that'd be neat haha .. Ill just have to dig up the link maybe I mistook it for something else .

I have a feeling the "upgrading your fire pit to a fireplace" thing is bugged , seems everyone I've talked to can't figure out how many stones to add ... But good thread idea I hope everyone comes here with their crafting finds !

Ooh ya crossbow should definitely be better than that , I agree though it was too strong before, now it's too weak gaha but I'm sure this next "nerf" will be the right one :) .

I know a lot of people have made threads about pve and stuff like that but this is a little different .. My idea is if it's possible to have things like rooftops of aging buildings collapse or pieces of the rify ship wreck falling apart as you are running through it ... Stuff like this would definitely be happening in a post apocalyptic world especially If there was enough time for stuff to start decaying and such .. I don't necessarily know how it would work but it would be random and wouldn't always happen to the same place at the same time .. I only suggest this cuz the world is dangerous regardless of zombies infesting it or not , people get badly hurt by the buildings we make especially if they are old and decrepit ! Also for natural things to happen like lightning hitting trees and setting them on fire , or a rock avalanche that breaks off of the rock cliffs on the shore near kamyshovo - solnichny .. Some Of this stuff described I think would spice up the natural world , instead of knowing "oh that buildings safe cuz I don't hear any people or zombies " you would ask yourself "is this building safe enough for me to enter or will it collapse if I stay in there too long ?". Most of the dangers are by humans and zombies but we always see in zombie movies and shows that people are alway getting stuck by falling buildings, structures or natural disasters and I believe adding that to dayz (if the engine can take it ) would be an amazing element especially if you're alone and wanna find excitement besides pvp .

I don't like it at all ... I think in time the spawns being moved all over the map will help a lot , there should be no "disappearing bodies" that's the most unrealistic thing for me ... And besides pvpers are the only ones going to desperately recover their gear after being shot and killed , cuz lets face it real players know how to get a gun even in a server that has no loot ... and when this next update with Hunting comes out , people will have more to do so that will deter at least 10 percent of people from just going back to fight the person they just was murdered by, so in my opinion making a crappy "mod" solution to this meta game dead body looting is a bad decision ... Standalone is different for a reason lets not bring back the mod dayz with its half baked ideas lol ... My ultimate idea for this is that the spawns would be much more spread out , more content to play with then people won't be pvping in one spot , and eventually I hope that the devs would make a way so that when you die you're the only one who can't see your body but everyone else could(that's the only way I see being able to do this "realistically" cuz i HATE disappearing bodies , I love seeing the carnage of a city that just had a battle , chernarus is TOO clean the dead bodies at least make it feel apocalyptic ).

I like the idea , I just quit smoking a year ago and would love to see my character do the same under a stressful apocalypse scenario ...'or maybe hell die trying ;) ... But I wouldn't want much negative or positive effects , maybe like someone said a smokers cough and reduced stamina for 15 mins after a smoke for negative effects and positive effects should only be one : reduced shakiness when in pain ... But when you get addicted you shake until you smoke a cigarette or get un-addicted lol ...

+1 this is exactly what I've been noticing and doing , a very good guide , and explains about. 75% of people's "character wipe" experiences cuz most of then don't get the red message when they jump to a new server so they must be getting killed before they fully log out . Also I have a Semi-FIX for if your character Gets "killed" by a server.. If you recieve the red "your character has been reset contact administrator" message when you join a new server after just logging out of another one , just remember that server you were just on join it and run to where you logged out , your dead body should be there slightly damaged .. I've done this twice now and I don't know if it's the new server killing my character and sending info back to the last know location or something or if it's just a coincidence and maybe I got killed and the guys never took anything both times when this seemed to happen to me .

Umm buddy it usually goes up AFTER alpha. Use common sense .. But for all the complainers , no this game is not worth buying yet... But for mature people like me (lawl to that ) and for people also like me who can recognize potential when they see it , I'd say this is a very worthy game to buy Right now. It's got adrenaline filled pvp , attention to detail , promise and potential for so much more , awesome and never before seen (except for arma and the mod ) head swivel .. And I know that's not entirely new but for people playing crap like deadz warz or warzed remake the head swivel makes a world of difference for a survival aspect . Also not to mention it's beautiful graphics and animations compared to(or just in general) other zombie games like 7 days to die, which even in their alpha 9.0 version the graphics are minecraftey at best ...

Ya being positive is hard ill give him that (mr sinister) but that's no excuse to bring down hate on anyone or anything ... After all there are much worse things out there , dayz team in my eyes shouldn't be a spectacle of hate , it's just a video game in a massive world of hate lies wars and pain so please lets leave dayz out of our strife haha ... Stay positive and you'll remain positive , stay negative and you'll remain negative ... Can't wait for the update I'm such excite !!

Ugh not you guys again lol ... It will have all the features you are wanting in a few months so just chill out mang, and go play the other games getting attention for the time being .. Trust me when hunting, fires, physics fixed and the start of ragdoll in the next update well not be bored for a good couple of months which by then barricades should be making their way into the game :) awesome just awesome , so wasted 1985 smoke the L with us on the forums an lets all kumbaya together til the hunting update .

Damn I was really hoping to have his head mantled on my wall in the newish log cabin pub lol ... Can't wait for hunting.

Is that a moose? Please tell me we get to slay moose as soon as this update comes .... I can't wait for this update I just hope cooking is with it or at least soon after it, but hey no matter what this patch will be badass ...
