I think my first crop will fail , lol , because that's always my issue in real life growing crop ( :0 ) ... Soon I will grow jalapeños irl and for some strange reason I hope we can grow jalapeños in game soon as well :) .

I am as well my friend ; finally a reason to not roam the lands looking for trouble , tomato farms !!

Sweet good to know guys ... For you guys checking the database let us lazy heads know when something happens :)

It's so quiet on the forums lately ... And it's close to the end of the czechian day :( I'm scared .

Hmmm I wonder when the next status report will come ? I can't wait for those paragraphs of joy and excitement :) gimme moar content plox !

So cool.. You know I'm kinda embarrassed to admit this but I used to play warZ before I found the dayz mod , and I have to say I loved how people traded rare items on the forums so having a whole site dedicated to dayz trading is just awesomely amazing . I can't wait to see car parts on that list :) ! Good work tullsy.

Wow . Are we close to modding yet lol ? I've seen this one and a trading website made by a forum member , both simple yet great ideas .. I'll probably download this later :) no work today ;)

Just because he has the same name ? Lol .. Get us to Washington eugen harton !!! He knew the cure all along .

Ham sandwich I'm sorry but this game cannot cater to people who only play an hour a week .. If you don't want your base to be raided choose a low pop server , eventually I'm sure the ghosting problem will be solved by having it so people can't spawn into barricaded or player built structures they would instead spawn directly outside of it ... Not too bad of an answer sure it breaks realism a little bit but it's much better than people losing all of their hard earned work to someone that has more interest in playing !

Yea I think they were all restarting at once lol cuz I found them all right after... but I'm now loaded with a vest , backpack full of survival supplies including three metal wires (I'm gonna make 2 into rabbit snares and the last I'll combine with my sardine trap , it doesn't seem to change the items appearance but maybe it increases chances of catching one ?) But I've been searching for a place to call home and I'm now at grishino , it's too close to the airfield to settle down in for my comfort (although I've been trollin the airfields over the past few days and haven't found one person :0! ) so I'm going to make my way north towards severograd my hometown to make my barricades at old Jed's farm , he has rooms for crop and plenty of space to drop my extra backpacks found on random dead of starvation survivors ... Overall I'm loving this new build i crash twice every 3-5 hours or so but besides that and the servers being in an infinite reboot this build seems flawless to me in terms of fun and bugs :)

Uh oh , I'm scared ... I see no experimental servers aside from the "private hive" ones ... What's happening to my beloved .50 exp ? I have all day to play today don't make daddy switch back to stable :0 !

Hmmm well in my opinion the devs will never add an AI that guards your stuff after logging off . Also for the claiming idea it's ok for people not building on your area while you're logged off but I believe your overlooking how hard it's going to be toget into someone's base ... There was once upon a time a long lost forgotten mod called dayz aftermath , it was as close to the standalone as any mod had gotten and it's base raiding mechanic was like this : the person who built the base (or barricaded an existing building) could build walls around it as well (wooden which can upgrade five times, the fourth upgrade you need to add a lock for extra protection , then metal walls with three upgrades , the last one with a lock) the raider would need a sledgehammer a pick axe, a toolbox (and if they wanted to try to take it down but risk breaking things behind it was to use a hand grenade which worked to destroy walls in this mod ) and the process took a while (30-45 mins for a fully upgraded locked gate, about ten or less for a first level gate) and there was always a random chance to snap your sledgehammer in this process also your toolbox would be rendered useless after every 3 or so failed attempts (slegdehammer breaking) . So long story short it was NOT easy to break into someone's base in this mod , and I believe standalone will do it even better .. We will have traps, pet dogs (I believe) that might stay when we log off to protect things(doubtful though) , and not to mention the strong walls, locks or gates that they will add that we may be able to construct! So for people who really only play a couple hours a week you'd still need to take the time to fortify your base once in a while and of course you will get broken into once in a while by a master lock picker :) but all in all I think it will work much better than rust . And besides chernarus is much bigger than the rust world I believe !

I really like this thermos idea , I think we should definitely have teas that have different therapeutic effects so we can use them as some type of trading currency, and maybe also hot cocoa ,'it would be delicious and quench your thirst while also being a type of currency item people trade because it brings up internal body temp if kept warm in a special thermos after being heated up so you don't have to light a fire ten mins down the road :) !

Although these third world countries are indeed used to some pathogens in their water , it does not make them invincible ... They still have frequent stomach cramps and diarrhea , probably throwing up and fevers occasionally if they drink from a really stagnant lake .. So us survivors would hardly get used to it , id say if you chose to drink out of polluted rivers you'd have the smallest chance to get a disease (but it should still be a 25% chance or so) seeing as rivers are moving and naturally a little more sanitized , but if you were to drink out of a pond or lake your character should get very sick to the point of throwing up and maybe even get weaker so that he can't run until he heals from it . Although it would be tough for freshspawns it would be more realsitic because like said before people like in Mexico are used to the small pathogens in water that make you have upset stomachs and such but when they drink from a water source with a pathogen their body is not used to (which can happen to anyone no matter how native they are to the polluted area) they will get flu-like sick for at least a short time .

You'll be happy to know there's a new shotgun (the baikal mp-133) in the new experimental version ! But i would love to see a saiga in game :)

Almost everything on this list has been talked about and I'm pretty sure most of the "realism" suggestions have already been approved . I know for a fact searchable containers (cupboards and such) are coming as soon as optimization is better , you will never see the ability to use crossbow bolts in a homemade bow because a bolt is much shorter and thicker (meaning you'd need a bigger bow to shoot the heavy bolt far , but then with a bigger bow the bolt would be too short !) . More realistic night time settings (not being able to change gamma in game) has been thoroughly talked about and I'm sure a unique answer to this question will be made by the devs as they usually devise their own plan on how to tackle common problems like that.. The sunglasses and combining of matches are a huge thing I've wondered about and many have suggested , I don't know the devs stance on combining matches but I'm almost 100% positive that he (rocket) talked about sunglasses and their realistic uses in the future .. Rain affecting your screen is now in the experimental branch so if snow does appear in the game im sure it would affect your screen as well . Fires will soon have timers now that we can make fires without logs (on the experimental branch we can make a fire by putting sticks into a fireplace kit instead of needing a log) so in other woods it's too easy to make fires in experimental right now so I know they are going to add timers soon .. I would love to see the ability to roll up our sleeves to keep cool when were overheating and can't take off our shirt :) . I love your idea of black backpacks though , I rock all black all the time as well so I need a black backpack but everyone thinks it's a bad idea for some reason ! Maybe a Black taloon backpack ?

Found two on an experimental server last night ;) ! But I like this idea , at first ,before I saw how big the fireaxe was on your back , I was going to totally disagree with you but it does make sense and would be better for realism purposes ... But I like the crafting mini hatchet idea and I think they should also have a "craft sling" mechanic so we can make those magical floating weapons have a place to be held if we don't have the tools to cut them down in size :) !

This actually happens to me on my 64 bit windows 7 on my digital storm .. But it only happens when I log in for a minute or so , but it does it everytime I log in , things slowly start to load in but i can see through the damn walls floors and ceiling lol ! I've seen a number of people in buildings next to me when this happens :O

If you have bad fps you run slower , it's not meant to happen like that but since the game is not optimized players speed is dependent on client fps which would be your fps ... But if you have a good computer it could be server Desync pulling you back? But even at full sprint zombies do not catch up to me so it seems to me just like my friends computer that your fps is bad causing you to run slower .. Also make sure you're not crouched !

I have had hundreds of interactions with stranger friendlies , and only about 30 encounters that turned "sour" so to speak after approaching And talking to a so called "friendly"(of course I've had at least 100 encounters where someone just shoots without me seein them or them saying anything first but that's just dayz and as long as you run for cover you should be good) . But honestly don't listen to the PVP addicts like Heav , they just sit on top of towers and wait for people to come by so they can get a quick easy kill . Be like the many of us strong survivors (hero or not) that have so much more fun finding other people and talking with them and doing things with them .. Sometimes you almost (or do get) betrayed but as Long as your smart, suspicious of anyone, and careful you will make it out alive ! So when you see someone next yell to them either "you friendly ? Put your weapon down if so or lay on the ground otherwise I'll be forced to shoot " or "put your fucking hands up bro I'll blast you" lol the ladder seems to get more aggressive "fuck you bro" responses (however if you're super aggressive people sometimes just get scared and listen) so I usually use the first one : simple suggestion that if they don't stop what they are doing I will shoot , it's worked for me over 100 times now , after I strip the player of his ammo I trade with him and talk to him until I feel unsafe again and go on the move but I'm a lone wolf most of the time so three out of five times I don't ask to buddy up with the newly met freindly but regardless of that would you rather just shoot some dude you see and have one second of adrenaline or would you rather meet with a potentially great survivor who could help you out but will definitely provide an exciting moment for longer than just killing the guy would .

Don't stay on the shore towns ! They seem to respawn nothing but junk items , however if you go inland to severograd say , (which is very close to novodomitrovsk maybe a 15 minute run) you'll find that the loot respawning IS working as intended . My guess is that the loot respawns far away from people and with everyone panicking thinking that you are gonna die in fifteen minutes (because everyone keeps telling each other that on the forums) then they don't bother to leave the coast thinking they "don't have enough time before they die of starvation or hypothermia" but trust me staying where you spawned is a death sentence , just find a sweatshirt and one can of food and water and you'll be good to jog to the next town inland !

What are these "weekend special" servers and why are they only third person !? =O !

Lol yes this ^ I would never have left my house in severograd if ma and pa hadn't succumb to the zombie virus ;) . But I can't wait to get out of work and play experimental again this patch is literally the most exciting one since dayz standalone came out :0 !

My friend has a law rocket launcher in his closet and it's still active ... Rockets for it I'm sure would be hard to find but to be honest I truly believe they will add some more explosives soon .. It's my entirely unrealistic seeing as some civilians even collect these weapons and besides that I really liked the addition of the grenades and unless you find a glitcher with grenades , they don't really change the gameplay in a negative way. if anything it's going to be a positive thing to take out large vehicles that deuche bag clans are going to have in the beta :)
