It's actually a great idea for the huge population of solo players out there ... I myself play solo when my friends are bein queer and don't wanna play dayz , I don't have a clan either so if I ever feel like playing with a bunch of people that I know aren't silently speaking with their buddies , I could do that on these "randomized servers" . Beans to you O.P hopefully your suggestion comes true ;] .

Yes this would be awesome ! I've always wanted more geography in this game it's too plain looking .. I think dayz celle had a river which was nice, and I've always wanted cliffs right next to the water :)

I think this is a terrible idea , it's stupidly unrealistic ? We already have the unrealistic "spawn in wherever you log off" which is there obviously cuz we don't wanna have a new character per server , but if you already have the upper hand by controlling a highly populated building with a squad fully geared, then you shouldn't have to have more help taking out 1-3 guys who just spawned in ... I mean c'mon guys if you're going to be camping you have to realize people are going to do anything to get you after you've killed them over and over again .. I say no reloading sounds when you log in , there's already 2 minutes of lag when you log in why handicap us even more by bringing back those ridiculous log in sounds ? And in my opinion it goes like this : people who are camping can take a building yes but who's to say in real life the guy who "logged in on the second floor " didnt just climb into a window or what if he was hiding somewhere and you just didnt find him .. There are many ways in real life one could sneak into a second story room , so lets not say that that would be impossible in real life (to sneak into the second story room without being seen by the squad) just because you campers wanna be safe and secure in your favorite buildings .. And as for the people that purposely go on empty servers to then log back into a populated server in the area where bandits are hiding I say they have a hard enough time with the lag when they log on so if they wanna cheat like that so be it but they will most likely die .. So to sum it up I hate the reloading sounds upon log in because they are unrealistic, nobody reloads their gun as soon as they wake up lol

IMO the zombies aggro way too far off , they should search with sight and sound more equally instead of being haxxorz with ESP lol ... But I love how challenging they are right now (only head shots ) but fire axe should kill in 1-3 hits , splitting axe 2-4 hits in the head . We need the zombies to be intense so we shouldn't be too timid towards how strong they are (personally they hardly make me bleed as long as I try to dodge them most of the time while I fight them ) because they are the main reason why the world is gone after all .. But clearly the aggroing and the zombies health need a little tweaking otherwise I like the strength of them and the speed to me is completely awesome I love having them right behind you when you just run straight (although i do notice lagging computers / connections seem to be slower than the zombies which is a big problem ).

It's probly just the old mod files injected into a very early , very stolen version of standalone , that's what I've heard has been done .. My advice guy is dont go searching for something like that ... Even if you're crazy enough to take the time to get a hacked version of dayz it'd be old cars, old arma 2 collision(death Rocks and bridges) , and most likely a lot of weird bugs -and glitches , not to mention the viruses along with it if you're going through a Russian site haha ... If you can be patient i say just wait for standalone to legitamitely get cars in the game , it will be much more qualitative and legal :) .

Honestly the one thing I absolutely hated about dayz mod was the side chat , having endless retards with nothin better to do than yell over side chat doesn't seem like a survivor game to me. and I wish we could draw on maps to maybe leave around or show a friend but we defly gotta start relyin more so on : the direction of the clouds (I think they go from west to east ) the position of the sun depending on the day (rises in the east so if the server you hop on is before 12 pm then the sun will be in the eastern hemisphere , if the server is past 12 pm it will be in the Western Hemisphere ) and one of my favorites (that we can't actually use yet ) is the star constellations that I heard upon release of the alpha that they would also be used for orientation ... Awesome , I can't wait for smoke signals and shit like that haha !!

Well I was running on the shore after being shot to death by a random doosher bandit, and i saw a young man in need of my help being pursued by a set of 2 doosher bandits! Naturally i decided to check it out with just my trusty baseball bat, this is what happens when bandits go over the line ... (sorry for some of the shoddy quality my free video editor/converter sucks=0)

Hey thanks guys, both for the good comments and the identification of French-Canadians haha . But they coulda had me multiple times if they just shot more lol , they took their first and only shot right as I knocked the second guy unconcious... It was a very adrenaline filled fight indeed , hands shaking the whole time haha , can't wait to see you guys out there , hopefully your friendly :/ !

Well I see the need for a giant lustrous city like New York City (seeing as its a huge city but not compared to the state) but I can see the argument that it would look incredibly weird in the middle of all the farms .. Maybe once islands are placed out in the ocean areas (I've heard this might happen ) we could have some ridiculous city on an island (like Honolulu, Hawaii) I would most likely make a trip out to this island a lot if it had an amazing city placed on it ... Of course it won't be tropical it will be a dark and rainy Eastern European island adding to the scariness of the city at night ...

Throwing knives have always been on my mind since the mod , I think it's a great idea and needs to be implemented ... Throwing knives accurately takes some training though , but I mean so does shooting a gun and every survivor seems to do that pretty well , and like original poster said , you can find knives everywhere but they become useless if you have a can opener and better melee.

I think this would be a good idea , but as far as healing broken legs id say we shouldn't make any herbs that insta-heal broken limbs ... Like someone else said maybe a make shift cast could be made that over a few hours of game time your leg would be healed . I know morphine healing legs instantly is unrealistic which is why I opt against herbs insta healing , but they would definitely be good for nutrition (eating some herbs) , casts , and healing sickness like antibiotics would . As far as something marijuana like , I could see it being harvested to prevent "the shakes" like when you would shake in the mod when too low on blood .

Ya I think most domestic pigs would die , especially if feral animals like wolves and bears could roam into farms without having to worry about people . and a "domestic" pig (pure bred lets say for this example ) would most likely never turn feral in its life time, although people claim that they "go feral" after 6 weeks that's just a misconception that actually just become aggressive as they are trying to now fend for themselves.. . It would need to mate with a feral pig , then the offspring would be feral (or at least in part ) and I've heard any domestic pig can grow hair and small tusks if it lives long enough..... Bacon ...

Honestly if npcs were to be worked on I wouldn't mind a single player side of this game ... When I get bored of having to always be observant I'd probly switch over to single player to have some mindless fun ....

Speak for yourself man , the developers stated before standalone release that the game(standalone) , if successful and after full completion , will be ported to Xbox and playstation ... Also for the guy who thinks its impossible to assign all the controls to a controller , well it's not with a lil application called xpadder. It allows you to assign button combinations as well as single buttons for things so if a controller has 20 "buttons" (triggers or directional included and directions of analog sticks) it can have 20 x 20 combinations of buttons so you can literally map hundreds of "actions" onto your controller using multiple combinations (for instance , hold left trigger then press left, right , up , or down to activate hot slots 1-4) .. Pretty awesome on controller especially since the mouse acceleration is fixed ! Still not as good at pointing which is why I wouldn't want cross platform play , but ill defly purchase this game again when it's ported to ps4 :) ..

In my opinion I would love to see locks on both houses and cars , but it shouldn't be so unrealistic like epoch .. in epich you legit can't lockpick things , in standalone I'm sure they would realize that some survivors know how to break locks , and furthermore some survivors would just break the windows of the car and hot wire it which I'm sure will be a feature when advanced vehicles are in ..

Ok man well you seem to have all the ideas , despite every game designer making games this current way . Make an mmo and set it up as such and lets see if it works ...

This is a great idea and Im sure it will be implemented once the server ,core,and zombie mechanics are figured out in the next two months (that's my theory, not concrete of course) ..

That was hilarious , although I have to say the British accent really tops it off lawl, and the maniacs' pig squeals halfway through are priceless .

Awesome ... Just awesome , everything I was hoping for seems like It will be in in the next few months .. Besides barricades :( but it's ok as Long as they give us something survivaly (fire, temperature system, some animals to kill , ya know )..

Anyone notice any changes with the 140mb or so patch ? It must be a hotfix or something but all steam has in the "news" section of dayz is some bullshit about h1z1: the arcadey "survival" mock up game backed by cash cow . Edit : we're up to version number 0.45.123906 now ... Must be something hot-fixey;).

I'm counting down til the realease to stable ... In my mind I'm saying only 6 more days unless something goes horribly wrong ;). I've been seeing a number of nice new things too , beatifiul log cabin house (at cherna polyana , IMO a little out of place being in the middle of all those Victorian style houses but still nice ) a cliffside (I think this is new ) near cherna polyana (new town?) and the aforementioned town itself . I really like the setup of polyana and it seems remote enough to not attract more than 4 people over the course of 2 hrs on a 50'person server ... I think when barricades are in I'm gonna take polyana ..

You are just a sore sport huh haha ... But anyways night should defly be fixed a bit but to answer people's confusion , there are time accelerated servers (the one with "x" next to the time of the server) an the regular ones (without X's). I played on the accelerated one and hated it , but then joined another accelerated one and it seemed to be running at the perfect speed .. The ones that aren't accelerated , it takes like 1-2 hrs to switch to day from night and night from day .. I really like the night when I have my gas lamp but they are very hard to find , I can't wait til fires come in fully hopefully then the devs will remove the option to change gamma and brightness so everyone has to play fair. Also I would love to see a military (industrial?) flashlight added, one with a much bigger radius , cuz lets be honest survivalists wouldn't take the dinky little flashlight we have in this game haha but besides bad flashlights I'm loving the new stuff , can't wait for release to stable .

Sorry mang but this is a useless rant post.... There's plenty of woods and tents aren't even in yet sooooo .... Chill out ?

I honestly think the Punching knockout mechanic is there for the fresh spawns that can't defend themselves on loot less servers .. I mean come one people are you guys really defending the people who say killing fresh spawns needs to be made easier ? I've knocked out plenty of people with weapons using my fists, only to be shot down by one of their group members that is actually paying attention, so that's the key really pay attention . And if you got sneak attacked by a smart fresh spawn , well then you're at their mercy just like all your victims were at your mercy when you were holding them up with your m4 . So before we ask "why can't we survive this survival game all the time " lets rememer its because its just that , a survival game and although the objective is to survive you're not always going to . So people instead of arguing about a feature( that I think is great for lone wolves and fresh spawns ) lets instead think of other problems that actually matter (like machetes doing no damage what so ever , crowbar always losing in a battle against fists , and other problems like that that are actual fighting/survival bugs and problems) .

To me it's somewhat the same , I have to say though that the standalone is a little "wonky" , probly because its the start of the developers making a great aiming / shooting system . The mouse acceleration ,now fixed on experimental , makes pinpoint aiming much better. and when they add correct sway and weight of weapons the movement will feel more realistic.
