The problem is that people are too coast fixated in DayZ. Everyone knows the coast is where you find people, so those who want to kill other players for fun will head to coastal towns meaning you are way more likely to get shot there. Most people that I have run in to inland have been friendly.

Well I was actually thinking in terms of something as different from DayZ as DayZ mod was from Arma 2.

I think we will see some really interesting mods once support is added. I don't think it is much of a stretch to imagine some awesome mod that brings a whole load of players in, much like DayZ did for Arma 2. I also think we will see a load of players returning as it becomes more feature complete. As I said before, I and presumably quite a few others are waiting on certain features before diving back into the game for extended periods.

I haven't had much of an issue with it. Although strangely my dude has literally everything I could want, but I still have the pants I started out with, I literally haven't found any in the time it has taken to get fully geared with guns ammo and food.

I'd really like to see a The Road esque mod where zombies are removed, loot is so rare that you shit yourself over a can of beans and we have to eat each other to survive.

Personally I will come back to playing far more regularly when I can maintain a persistent base that isn't going to vanish at server restarts etc.

I don't see what it would add other than frustration. The amount of work it would take is not really worth the outcome

I like that the screen just goes black when you die. It adds a certain mystery, like when you hear a shot and before you can place it bam you're dead.

Have you played at all this year? The zombies have improved a hell of a lot. Their numbers will presumably be increased once performance allows

Or what about walkie talkie taped to a mega phone. Not only could it distract zombies, it could also freak players out

One way to save money would be to look at pre built systems to see what they have in them then source the components yourself, that way you won't have to pay for someone else's labour thus saving money

Seems to have worked. Also will it make a discernible difference to performance etc if I do a clean install rather than an upgrade? I did a clean install of Win 7 about a month ago when I got my SSD.

Looks cool but I gotta say no for the reasons stated by BigMike.

Yeah something along those lines but y'know more stuff to speculate on

I really hope they add loads of mysterious elements that build a believable world. What I want is something akin to the Mount Chiliad conspiracy of GTA V, something that is never explicitly explained by the developers, but a huge mystery or puzzle that players can piece together and wear tin-foil hats over on the forums. The sort of vague and interesting thing that can lead to lots of different theories and throw up red herrings etc.

I'd say get a cooler the stock ones aren't very good or reliable. Also installing a closed loop liquid cooling cpu block was pretty easy for me, any difficulties with it was down to the smallness of my case rather than the system itself.

I have a question about the Windows 10 upgrade. When I installed Win 7 on my SSD despite me pointing it at the right disk it still installed some system files on my HDD, so I had to reinstall with the HDD unplugged. Am I going to have to do the same for Win 10 when I install it? It seems fucking stupid if I do but there you go....

Lol, but a lot of players given the choice would choose to be tiny given that it makes them a smaller target.

Randomized player height would be cool. It would need to be randomized rather than player controlled though as otherwise everyone would be tiny.

Yeah, be very weary when people insist on you going to a particular place too. Doing things on your terms---if you are in a position to assert them---and killing those who do not comply even in the smallest way, is unfortunately the only way you are going to get around people being deceitful douchebags.

There's challenging the traditional criteria of what you do in a game to have fun, and there are shit ideas. Having to spend time resting in the game is in the overlap on that venn diagram. I am not going to "play" a game that involves me sitting there and waiting until my character is rested. There is precious little time in my life and I am not going to spend it doing that. When I have the free time to do some gaming, I actually want to do some gaming. I have a job, a girlfriend and a social life, if I had to spend what little time I do have gaming, waiting for my character to rest, I am most certainly going to spend that time playing a better game. Challenging our sense of what is fun for the sake of it is not the same as a well designed or interesting mechanic.

It's simple, all they need is a "hide modded servers" button in the browser. As for those servers being empty, well that would just say a lot about the game.

Stupid idea. I play a game to do stuff not to sit and look at my screen whilst my character is asleep

It defeats the idea of going inland for better gear.

Don't trust other players. If you do want to help them don't be stupid. Tell them to stay back whilst you drop it, back off and then let them pick it up. If you have someone else there have them point a gun at them. Shoot them if they try anything. Being nice to other players does in no way guarantee that they will reciprocate, so be cautious at all times.
