I've commented on this many times. And I believe there should be an option (when private hives come out ) for the admin to make it so what ever you say through your mic (regardless of if its through a third party program or not ) its always said through direct chat , this way people can still use teamspeak instead of finding radios but they don't have the advantage of being completely silent . Again this option would be optional for hardcore servers and it wouldn't block the third party programs , just make whatever you Say in those programs , audible in the game . I'm all for realistic gameplay haha

Wow I really thought for some reason this was about LOOT . Please no randomized(all over the map) spawns. This has been worked on already and isn't done yet , but making random spawns ALL over the map would be too much , maybe a bigger portion of the immediate north above the shore we should be able to spawn at but as of right now I see plenty of people up north east , north west , and in Zelenogorsk especially cuz that's where a nice little barracks is . On another note Please randomize LOOT as that would make for a real survival apocalypse game , as in m4s could be found anywhere but extremely rarely , maybe in big stockpiles where most of them are ruined , and in gun cabinets (when openable containers are implemented ) inside civilian houses which would hold rifles occasionally but not necessarily (depending on the randomness of the loot spawn, you could find a rifle ANYWHERE technically, this wouldn't be restricted to rifles obviously , this is an apocalypse so you'd see random loot strewn in the street/etc and specific building types wouldn't ever hold certain Loot types) . I.e the military bases wouldn't be the go to place for weapons , and the buildings we always loot right away for guns [office building, fire station, etc] shouldn't always have a chance of spawning weapons, instead the chance to spawn weapons/certain types of items should be randomly determined by the server for every building. Edit : sorry for getting off topic , but I totally think we should stop talking about randomized spawns and start talking about wether or not to randomize LOOT ;)

Ya I'm sorry entspeak, you were definitely thinking on your toes but this will not happen (unless when private hives come out) simply because the developers have solely by tryin to get away from the old mod server restart (which is a huge break in immersion , bigger than too much loot in a zombie apocalypse). so in my opinion hardcore servers (some) should have reduced loot , regular servers (if they chose to ) would have 100% loot spawns and the admin of the private hive sever (when they come out) can choose what percentage of loot spawns they want , and these percentages would correspond to how often the loot spawns and how good the loot is.

I know exactly what you mean mang. People say that dayz for some reason only uses one core of your computer , I totally agree cuz my i5 3570k 8gb of ram and GeForce gtx 760 gets very low on fps (30) if I'm recording inside a city , now I've seen it on my friends 2+ year old computer and he can't even start fraps without dayz laggin to 5fps , problem is he can run any other graphically powerful mmo/first person shooter without much problem, so I feel like dayz definitely doesn't use much of the computers power so to speak . But I say grass should always be on for everyone cuz that's where I hide sometimes ;)

Yes that is right , it's been like that since day 1 , not too much of a big deal cuz the pistol holster is all about looks (unless you have no space for a sidearm in which case it can be used to store your sidearm) . But when you get a backpackand a vest you truly don't need the chest holster , which Is why they are (eventually) adding in new holster (leg , arm ).Edit : you can drop the holster into the vest , but that's kind of redundant now isn't it haha?

These are not the throwing type of smoke bomb , but a stationary one more so for defense and escape rather than assault like grenades . What you need to make them is the two main ingredients sugar , and potassium nitrate (I know very specific items but if people like the idea , might as well , sugar could be eaten and I'm sure potassium nitrate has other uses) also needed is a frying pan and a rag for the fuse. You start by cookin the mixture of the main ingredients together , then put some of the mixture rolled into a tissue to make the fuse put the rest of the mixture in a cup or homemade paper cup and light the fuse and maybe mixture. It would be a great way of getting away if someone corners you in an apartment or even an open corner (like inside fire station up against crates) because they won't be able to know which way out of the smoke you're about to bolt from . It's more of an "improvised" and "civilian" vibe as opposed to a militirased everyones a trained soldier feel which is why I would love to see it , it's not like every day when you find a smoke grenade even in the apocalypse I feel ( maybe I just don't know how common they are).

No nudity no crapping and no pissing we already do enough of it through our mouths and in real life through other areas haha ... C'mon guys were not the Rust or Mortal Online community we don't need this stuff , it's pointless and adheres to people with very shallow senses of humor [bandits] !.

I know what you mean mang , I've done this several times but it seems like this new fall damage happened after one of the last patches , regardless it isn't where it used to be cuz now all 6-8 foot drops will kill your character(unless your lucky) also falling from things like the deer stands kill you as well , just about the same height but c'mon I've fallen out of trees two times higher than the farm stand staircase an lived with no broken bones haha .

Yes sir it will be but I can sense fires coming in the next few updates , they have already added gettin wet (fire dries wet clothes and people ) and now they are adding this beautiful new lighting that looks perfect for fire ? There's definitely gonna be fire soon in my opinion :)

I love the crazy fast work you guys are doing .. Anyway the fall damage could be tweaked a bit ? I've fallen off of many 8 ft staircases and died since the last patch , but if anything I should have broken a leg

Many people have thought about this , but I do like the productivity . I myself love the idea of the radios as they are now , just the feel to have to have radio silence whenever in towns/cities makes it feel much more real. And if you do start radio chatter , there's always a chance for another squad to be listening . Five meters is just too small and the simple fact of the matter is , I'm sure those headsets require more than just a common battery unlike the radios we have now . When private hives come out all sorts of features could be implemented : 1.)direct chat always open in hardcore servers (one of my favorites to implement , 3rd party programs wouldn't be blocked but anything you say in those programs would be said in dayz making ts, steam , vent completely useless on those servers at least) 2.)Radios range could be reduced to server admins preferences. 3.) and any other controversial features could be added when private hives come out

Well for everyone against the ppsh please at least consider broadening your mind towards unique weapons . So far everyone just wants the weapons we have and variant sof them and the same old stuff seen heavily in the dayz mod. Whenever someone suggest a unique gun it's shot down because " it wouldn't be common or effective" well it's the apocalypse shits been going down and people tried moving all over the globe when it happened I'm sure , and also having guns that aren't always the best spices the game up. Instead of ALways finding an extremely effective rifle / handgun , you would find a ppsh with a heat damaged barrel that you would have to fix , making it a more of a do It yourself situation and give it a "survival apocalypse grab anything you can" feel. Although I do understand we can have only so many weapons in the database , I still would love to see at least 5-10 firearms that are hiistoric/unique/very rare , and like everyone has said if any of these controversial weapons make it into the game they would be extremely hard to find . Some would say "then why put it in the game if its sometimes inneffective and very rare?" but like people who wear certain clothing for style as opposed to capacity , these small additions would make for unique battle/personal choices : being the only guy on the server "lucky" (unlucky depending on the persons preference) enough to have found one of the very rare antique weapons like this, or a handcannon or whatever zany suggestions have been given . Edit : I do care greatly for immersion and realism , so i agree we should have many ak's and relevant guns being the most common , but please balance is key we don't need too much spawning like the m4's at balota back when alpha was released.

Honestly he's right alot of the buildings look like that of electro or chernogorsk , look at the black and white picture of a construction site , recognize the Santa themed chimney ?

This is why the servers display the teamspeak channel names (if in existance) . Just join up on the teamspeak on a server and you have a ton of fun and possibly make an awkward friend haha.

This.... Topic ... Is useless , were almost at 3,000 topics now , this is why haha

Yea reading books and PRACTICING the action (like trying to place an engine in a car, you will break the engine an unspecified amount of times if you don't read up on it first , then finally you will successfully learn [on your own or with books or both ] that "knowledge"). I like the idea from another topic as well that instead of this just being lost upon death, skills also can be lost if you don't practice or read about the "knowledge"(skill) . It wouldn't happen fast , maybe if you learn a helicopter repair skill after three days of breaking helicopter parts it would take about the same (logged in counts only) to lose the skill from your knowledge ? That way you don't just know everything and keep it even if you don't die , you have to semi-constantly keep practicing or reading to not get rusty . EDIT: I think we all agree there should be no movement strength accuracy or combat bonuses/ skills , ONLY cooking , tailoring , gun making (perhaps) and vehicle/aircraft repair (which should be the hardest to learn by far).

Haha awesome jump mang. ive found out if you jump off of the school (from the very top) in the new apartment complex above Cherno, you can survive if you land on an exact spot . I was so happy when this first happened to me as I had just fully looted electro Cherno and balota haha you guys should try that jump and find others and Make a jumping / parkour video like people did with plasma grenades back in the halo 2 days lol.

I'm all for a couple extra colors , just after the server loot and zombies respawning problem is fixed i feel like they will have more of their team for doing small tedius stuff like re texturing and stuff when these problems are done .

Ya a big statement that helped me understand the weird zombies of dayz is this (some body from the dayz mod forums said this ) : " dayz zombies are merely people infected with some type of irreversible virus , they aren't undead and so that being said anything that could kill a regular human can kill them ." Which is why body shots are viable . And think of the history of dayz mod , the zombies were so fast only head shots would have gotten annoying haha so I think it's a mix of the lore of the zombies and the history of their characteristics .

Yes loving the idea and honestly im sure the devs are already planning on more holsters , or at least they should , I want knife sheaths for both throwing knives (when throwing is implemented ) and regular combat knives as well .

Yes we need a black backpack and a black BALLISTICS HELMET!! Sorry for caps I just really love the ballistics army look from time to time but Always roll black , yet there are no black helmets :/.

This would definitely be a great idea for dayz standalone. I could see being a fresh spawn , immediately finding or creating a backpack and then making a slingshot right after so he could at least knock bandits down for a second or two to get away or disarm the guy . Edit : spiked ball bearings (dunno if that's the word) can definitely kill if hit In the eye , which would also go for an awesome animation . After getting hit in the eye your character could die or at least go blind . But IMO I don't think it should be easy to kill someone with it , it should be more so for knocking down opponents , so at medium ranges if you were to peg a bandit In the head he could have a 20% chance of being knocked back / down .

Just to let you guys know(not that you don't know already ) anyone who has a mentality to shoot on sight EVERYTIME unprovoked like this guy(original poster) , they are usually just afraid of losing their loot. Remember this is an apocalypse but people who use that as an excuse to KOS are missing the point of this game .... It's to survive and rebuild society ( the rebuilding part of course coming when barricades / building comes In). And for those who say you can only survive by KOSing and looking out for yourself I'm going to upload my adventures in a week or so, so I can show you how easy it is if you have the right mind set to stay alive for dayz at a time while respecting Human life haha . I would love to find the op and any other brutal bandits like this so I can do what you do to fresh spawns all day eer day : shoot them when they are least expecting it . I mean cmon the second guy didnt even know you (op) was hiding in the upstairs bedroom . I'm not complaining though I realize there has to be a good bit of bandits like this in the game to balance out all of us neutrals / heroes , I mean other wise the game would be boring for good guys , cuz we don't force feed or make others get naked haha the only thing I do to torture prisoners of war is play guitar to them through the direct chat . Edit : at least original poster is a respectful bandit !

Immersion all the way obviously , but don't make it extremely difficult for the developers themselves to let us know how our characters are doing . How else is "I feel healthy" supposed to be shown? Some things need to be in text like : " I am healthy, I am stuffed , I feel energized , and if you wanna get rid of the pop up texts then fine , but they are then going to have to be shown as text in the inventory only, and would you really wanna check your inventory Just to see if you are hungry , thirsty , stuffed , energized , healthy ? I say a balance of it as it is now is fine, I am wet(experimental branch now ) seems like it needs reworking but besides that I can see the ones I mentioned NEEDING text and the others have their animations / unconsciousness to show visually . I also thought of another one which can be animated instead of texted: "i am about to vomit" can be a gagging sound and you would know then to slow the fucc down haha . Edit : we shouldn't over think things , this is why this half text half animation system was thought up of . even something like bleeding, checking for blood makes sense in a visual way but if you were cut bad enough in real life to bleed a fatal bleed you would know where it's coming from you wouldn't have to LOOK.

Well If this suggestion is for only being able to handcuff unarmed people then I'm against it all the way . You just gotta move next time it works I swear, but if you see the message and wait literally a second you will already be restrained. So I guess yes the ultimate idea is to not let her get close next time , which is a bummer cuz most of the time that means to shoot but maybe next time they will listen if you act all crazy and shit haha.
