The photoshop option :P.

Hey there! So, then vehicles get added in standalone I think most cars should spawn with a key inside it. You could be able to carry the key, and only the player with the key can start the engine properly. If you don't have a key, you can try to hotwire the car, there would be a chance of sucess/failure. Over time if you've hotwired many cars, you would gain kinda like hotwiring skill (remember when rocket mentioned those kinda things like skills?). That would be one of skills that could encourage players to stay alive. What you think?

They should be able to spawn in the ignition already, in cars gear, on a nearby dead zombie body (if they add static random dead bodies) or in a nearby house..

Hey there! What do you think the rarest item in standalone should be? (Anything, not just from the items that are currently in) I think it should be a radio from 1990's that could only be found at Green Mountain.

Hey there! As far as I know DayZ dev team is mostly focusing on expanding the map North, so I had the idea that it should be expanded West aswell. Imagine having a very large mountain'ish area or such in the West. What you guys think about this?

Why would can openers be rare? >.>

Never seen anything like it.

Well that's exactly what I'm talking about. The landscape is already there, it's just that it's only trees. They should add buildings and such.

Yep they are expanding the map. Haven't you noticed that area in North is expanded and villages have been added there? :)

Adding it is a great idea, yet not very close to coast. It should be really far off, that you could only reach it by a boat, helicopter or a plane (finally a use for planes :P). Trying to swim to it would definitely mean death.

Zelenogorsk is my new favorite :).

Yeah, some plants should be deadly too when you step on them and could kill you, also there you should be able to slip on a rock and fall face-first on another rock and die. Geez dude, that doesn't fit this game.

Hey there! How about a big lake somewhere inland, perhaps with a little island and some buildings on it? Would make it great for a base or such. Could be placed far North where debug fields used to be, would give the area some more attention.

Say what? I did use search function, nothing like this came up.

I know there's plans for North already, I just thought that a big lake would be a great addition (also relatively easy to make).

Hey there! I've been playing and testing the standalone for about a week now. I've come to point where I realize that Balota airfield has more PVP and battles than NWA had back at the mod. Forum's Gallery section is flooded with Balota ''gunfight'' videos like this: http://forums.dayzgame.com/index.php?/topic/158178-my-team-in-action-balota-airfield-gameplay-spanish/ http://forums.dayzgame.com/index.php?/topic/156973-intense-balota-gunfight/ http://forums.dayzgame.com/index.php?/topic/157778-battle-at-balota/#entry1580905 and those are just a few videos from the Gallery. This is mainly because of the high military loot ammounts in the area, which weren't there back at the mod. It encouraged people to move North to actually come across better items. In my opinion, Balota airfield causes lots of PVP and KoS on the coast. If devs were to remove the military loot from Balota and instead turn it into a civilian airstrip where you could find a shotgun or a pistol at max, the situation would be greatly improved. What's your opnion on this guys? Feel free to agree/disagree with me as long as you're reasonable :).

You failed to quote. The PvP rate on coast IS bad. I've even been killed as freshspawn on coast near Kamenka by people with M4's. I do realize that this is an unfinished product and will change over time, but I doubt that the barracks and jail will get removed from Balota. Why did they get added there in first place?

Did Balota cause constant deathmatch all across the coast in mod? Not really..

Actually, I'm totally against PvE. You're yet another guy who doesn't read the thread fully. I'm not talking about Balota being PvP area, I'm talking about that Balota causes freshspawns all along the coast to get spawncamped. In the mod Balota didn't offer as much military gear, people would go to NWA or NEA to get good gear and not be bothered to walk all the way back to coast to kill freshspawns but stayed at the airfields to fight players who actually have something more than bare fists. As I once said before, funny that who-ever tries to decrease the massive coast World War III gets labeled a carebear. I've been playing DayZ since the mod was released, I know it's a hardcore zombie survival game, and that's the reason I play it. I'm not complaining about PvP aspect of the game. I'm complaining about that the game has turned into ONLY PvP.

More like people don't go North because they can get all the loot at Balota, or just get KoS'd awhile after they spawn.

You think I'm gonna go trough each devblog again to find the part where Dean says overpowered unrealistic weapons like DMR's, SVD's, 50. cals etc are not getting added to standalone? DayZ mod maybe was all about gearing up, devs want to change that for the standalone so it's actually about surviving.

The devs are the ones which decide what you are going to play since it's THEIR game, they want it to be a zombie survival game. DMR's and SVD's aren't getting added you know. Exactly.

Funny how whoever wants the PVP rate on coast get decreased gets labeled as a pussy or carebear. It's a zombie apocalypse survival game. It's supposed to simulate a zombie outbreak, not World War III.

Why don't you just go play CoD or Battlefield? This is DayZ, a ZOMBIE SURVIVAL apocalypse game, not a shooter.

Read the thread mr., I have stated about 10 times that its not about me but about whole community. And it's not only Balota. Balota causes whole coast to get KoS'd. Check the devblogs then. Why do you think they implemented restraining and other features then? To obviously decrease PVP. I couldn't help but facepalm at this post. How the hell would somebody have access to an AK-74 at beginning of a Zombie Apocalypse? Only few terrorists or military veterans would. Plus you're forgetting the fact that the game is set in post-soviet state. No person could hold an AK74 in their home in a post-soviet state. Most of civilians would indeed walk around with hunting rifles and melee weapons because they wouldn't want to risk dying whilst trying to obtain an AK74 from a military base.
