I agree that the "reload any type clip / speed loader " should be removed from the mouse scroll wheel and replaced as "R". I hate reloading while trying to get through doors especially when entering a building I think someone is hiding in , it's a dead give away and is very unrealistic (the scroll wheel should come up when an action APPLICABLE to the scenario is present , however when the scroll wheel comes up and it includes reload its like your character is basically wondering if he should reload every time you scroll for actions which becomes very annoying and unrealistic )

I've thought of something like this as well , just no out of body experiences or heaven - like images , as they are too controversial haha . Iwould say that when you die , instead of instantly seeing the you're dead screen , we see our characters vision go extremely blurry and can just barely make out him falling to the ground ? Of course it would look best in first person and this is something everyone will experience so instead of just wondering if you were hit in the head with a bullet you could just barely make out what has happened to you . Like for example if you were shot in the head , right now it's just a black screen with this idea even if you were head shotted you would still have a chance to hear foot steps or barely make out the figure of the bandit heading towards you before your character closes his eyes for good .

I don't think the issue is of remapping keys or getting used to control schemes , I'm plenty fine using the messed up south paw version I've concocted , my issue is that like the OP , I just hate how slow clunky and useless the "step over" function is , an it seems like a glitch seeing as it only happens sometimes to some people when they try to do the new jump . Remove old mod vault so we can make sure we are doing the new jump every time .

Oh don't let the haters fool you. , there will be snow in dayz wether it's dayz standalone official mod or dayz standalone dlc(or just content in dayz a long time from now maybe not necessarily dlc ) , there's always a way whether it be waiting for better available technology (which is what it seems like we have to do ) or have some genius game designer come along that proves us all wrong .

Yes tons of threads ... Imhotep.. imhotep.. Imhotep .... Edit : I do agree with you though and to be honest you brought some interesting ideas to the table that haven't been talked about in any of those threads I believe (dog sleds , West Nile virus )

I agree with everything except stacking , in my opinion limited inventory space is what makes for more of a survival feel , like old resident evil games . But you got some good ideas I've always thought about socks but notes on maps is something I've never thought about , also sharing like you said would be ideal especially with such low spawn rates.

Just to let you know man , bears can take a couple shots in the chest or stomach without dying or being incapacitated , however if you logged a few 7.62 mm in the chest or head yes it would go down with some force haha . But we need bears and wolves I would love to see the beautiful animation of a dayz bear/ wolf especially f they had their own food chains / reactions to nature . Also what does having a can opener do against a bear haha you must be the most badass dude ever if you've fought a bear with a can opener hahah .

I thoroughly agree with the original poster and for people who don't know this option ONLY shows up when you have a clip , a speed loader or a bullet clip( as in real life you wouldn't have to load bullets into the clip if its already loaded , just gotta load into the gun ) . I myself use the "F" button as my voice over net button , so when I use my scroll wheel to use actions I HATE how the reload option shows up , it really should be removed and "R" should be the only way to reload a clip . In my opinion having the scroll wheel clutter is annoying and unfortunately reloading fast clips plays into that scroll wheel annoyance , so unless a majority of players are truly going to miss it please remove it from the scroll wheel list as it is annoying for people who use the scroll wheel often . Like the original poster suggested it is kind of like your character wondering if he should reload whenever he thinks of drinking water or opening doors haha it's a nuisance. Edit: for the people who are using multiple ammos, Wed have to figure some system out , maybe an ammo belt that when attached gives you this option to reload through the mouse wheel ?

Yea I honestly don't need any extra stances but if it wasn't goin to impede on the old way of crouching proning and standing I'd be all for it cuz it does seem interesting (the whole hold down "c" and use mouse wheel thin ).

You should just get a mic man it's truly a lot easier and worth the 20-60 dollars

Hell ya that'd be cool but please refrain from usin the word troll in anything you wish to be taken seriously haha , id use it for when building comes in. Build a shack kill a couple people(bandits) and leave a twisted story of what happened haha

Ya I've definitely seen through the "dev tracker " links to 3d models of poop... My hopes on this is that it is animal droppings for tracking !

Yea defly a good light armor choice, and by far looks the coolest besides swat outfits nana

I think climbing on roofs eventually should be in the game , I mean c'mon a game like dayz making strides the way it is to have total freedom of movement it seems dumb to not add it to the final game at least . For some reason I have always had an obsession with fighting on rooftops but don't let tht fool you , there are plenty of fun times you can have on roof tops with out this obsession haha also I would love to see the ability to HIDE in trees (NOT use guns up there that would be OP)

I don't know if I'm wording it wrong or if it truly hasn't been thought about yet , but the search function yielded nothing . But I'm sure you have all thought about it , maybe it's an engine issue. anyhow my suggestion is that since the head swivel is such a big part of dayz what if we added a dazing system so that if you were looking around and what not and ran into a tree, wall or hard object (as I do often ) your characters vision would get spinny and blurry. Also , depending on if you were running at full speed or not you could have a chance off falling down ? I think it would add a great element especially for people not so oriented in battle who often run into things haha , imagine the intensity of almost being shot and narrowly escaping only to run into a concrete wall , which could turn the battle around for / against you depending on who you are lol.

Lol this ... But original poster nice job with them , may I ask what you record in , what you compress your vids in , and if its not too personal what graphic card and processor you got as I see your recording- playing at a whopping 140 fps unless I'm seeing things ?

I can't wait for fires to make its way into this game , I really hope it has an advanced system so it can spread , especially if applied to wood houses (im sure that's way down the line but it is in my thoughts now haha ) . Furthermore I can't wait to test this patch out tonight :0

I know we already have conditions that can affect our guns , but now that we have rain (and lots of it ) I was thinking we should also have our weapons rust (metal weapons ) . After a long time if you survive on one character (or just keep that weapon ) the weapon would be rusted and eventually just break , so even though you're taking care of it after all your battles it will still rust . Of course there's ways to combat rust so there would be some new item added to use on your gun before you go into the rain (protectant) and a cleaner to use if your gun Is already a little rusted (CLR lol?). Lemme know what you think / if its too much or unrealistic .

Just wait for barricades mang and you can do this with your friends ... Church of electro = fortified heavy doors , combine that with some 4x4s and you got a safe zone ... Til someone busts the door down haha . But I think that would be fun, definitely not npcs though , and no PVE only zones , but I do want environmental disasters =)

Damn that's rough , I'd love to see 15 day-survivors with rusty ass guns cuz of the rain ... But for all you gun cleaners/ owners out there , say you were in an apocalypse and suddenly couldn't clean that h&k every week anymore . If this were to happen and you were always running in the rain (and even spending hours in the rain ) for a good few months straight with no constant shelter it would really never rust ? I truly have never owned a fire arm so I couldn't say , but I would Really like to see this , or more of a gun cleaning system cuz it feels like guns right now are just too invincible (aside from a magnum that became randomly ruined when I opened my inventory once ) .

There needs to be one (maybe two) on each server , and like every one said , no weapons on it. It needs to be extremely hard to upkeep and extremely loud . People just don't get/ dont trust how balance works, and they are afraid the game will be ruined if this( helicopters) were to happen . But in my opinion this is natural but we need to go out on a limb here and just accept that there isALWAYS someone who knows how to fly after the apocalypse. Hell even a couple of kids in my school learned when we were graduating , so it can't be entirely too hard to find someone with this skill (or learn yourself even on "the fly"). And when private hives are out I'm sure there will be plenty of No helicopter servers , just like I'm sure there will be some servers waaaay down the road with tanks(extreme example) haha. Edit: although I don't fly helicopters well myself , I would LOVE to see them in dayz SA . Just imagine the beautiful textures they will have and the adrenaline filled feel of tryin to flag a helicopter down with a flare gun, cuz after all the people with helicopters will be the true saviors/ heroes and seeing one will make/ break your day depending on who's inside .

Ya foot prints are in but they suck hahaha ... Lets get some good foot prints I mean they are adding POOP eventually , noone knows it it's animal or human or what but if they care to make a small addition like that then why not footprints ? It fits on perfect with the survival genre , eventually animal tracks should come into play as well , an since poop is confirmed (I think) then might as well add animal droppings .

Well I don't know the developers stand point on robbing your own dead body (I personally think if people think that looting your own body is unrealistic and should be removed, thAt the only way is to make is so you can't see your own body after dyin to make it realistic ) . But I honestly don't mind being able to loot your own dead body , I think it's not a big deal and I'm pretty sure they (devs) would have it so the bodies disappeared with the server restart IF the servers could handle it . I think the timer for dead bodies disappearing after ten minutes was added a bunch of patches ago because of server issues , not so people couldn't loot their body so hopeful when the servers are stable well see bodies everywhere til restart . And this maybe a pipe dream but if loot were to respawn id say zombies should be the ones to eat bodies and clean up the server (assuming we wouldn't need constant restarts anymore because loot /zombies would be respawning) ? It would totally make sense but I'm sure it's been talked about already , but this wouldn't be til much later anyways .

You guys are going too fast with these updates I can't keep up with the amazingness! ... But Please insert b-95 variant that chambers both 12 gauge shotgun slug and 7.62 mm rifle round , then I will never need anything else than the b-95 double rifle .

Well if anyone's read another topic of mine , I've suggested (witht the help of others commenting putting pieces together) making it so going up and down stairs (when a unique stamina system is put into the game ) should be faster depending on what you're wearing and how tired you are . I want this to apply to all steep areas in the game especially hills , downside being extreme fatigue running up or down hills and : I would like to add the chance of falling over and possibly going into a controllable (maybe uncontrollable depending on how far up a hill / mountain you were ) roll when you're on a steep hill . It wouldn't happen nearly all the time , maybe just if you lost balance because you were running for too long or too fast down/up a hill or elevated slope(steep slopes that require your character at the moment to slow down) with too much gear or something. Just imagine seeing a squad lose a member to a deadly tumble during a fire fight because he runs too fast down hill or across a mountain side to avoid being shot. It would add another reason to think twice about engaging your enemy at certain geographical locations ( like If you had the upper hand by being on a hill above anther squad you'd at least be at a disadvantage because of the fatigue and possibly ridiculous death rolls made because of the steepness ) .
