Totally agree about combat loging is the worst of all. About this gyu. Its totally his mistake to take a fine dinner at a military hot spot. I made similiar mistake once. Managed my loot, i was sitting in a tent near NWAF, loading mags and optimised backpack space to take some more ammo ( though i already got about 200 rounds). Got shot from behind. Instant death. I will never make such a mistake again.

Doubt that. I killed a guy once, his corpse was lootable. I had not any kind of back pack, I put some stuff to his cargo pants in purpose to manage my items spacing. I spent about half a minute draggin items from here to there trying to optimise my gear, wheh his body disappeared with half of my items. I thought it was because of he loged out. Since that I do ton log out immediately after "you are dead" and give some time for players to loot.

Just one more big NO. Abscence of any artifical boundaries is the main feature of DayZ, and the main reason I love it.

Every time i get killed, fare and square, by some ghosty logger, or pointless KoSer, i feel some butthurt, i hate all of them, i scream some swear words via VOIP, but i never log off, and always give about 5min to loot my corpse before log out.

I'm not saying choose respawn. I think it should be able to spawn together with a friend but still at a random location. May be some kind of friending should be added to client. And to Steak and Potatoes. I thought of spawning again and again until you spawn close enough, but it is lame and can took even more time.

Is there some way to freshspawn with your friend at a same place. I want to play with my friend, but it would be bloody lame if we spawn at opposite side of the map. It would take a lot of time and attempts to get to each other. I'm sure dev's will make this possible later, but may be we can figure out some kind of trick now.

17hrs of gameplay on russian and UK servers. Every time i meet a player with more then a flashligt i was attaked. I dont know where you met friendly players. Just a 3 minutes ago i spawned, looted a bit, got backpack and pipe wrench, saw a guy attacked by 5-6 zombies. He seemed like a freshspawn, had not any military gear, but he had a pistol (and obviously not many ammo). I wanted to help him to kill zombies, BUT THIS STUPID NUTS SHOOT ME FIRST spending his ammo on me. After that i heard zombies, hits, pain screams. I dont know if he managed to survive, but i hope he has been overwhelmed by zombies. So i think KoS problem presents now, and i'm afraid even if zombies become more dangerous and ammo and firearms more rare it will take long, before paranoid reflex to KoS fade in most player's mind.

I'm curious, after somebody shot me in the back and im dead, can i say some swear words to him? Somebody mention this, but i do not know if it possible in current version?

Sorry i misused the word, not meant to offense homosexual people. Lets say imbeciles instead.

I've opened thousands of cans with the knife, and never hurt myself. For me its much more handy then a stupid can opener. Yep its damages blade, this why i have special cheap unsharped knife at home, for cans. I don't know how moronic and clumsy you need to be to hurt yourself, or spill some content, while opening can whit the knife. Also i'm field geophysicist and have some experience of surviving in the wild. And from my older colleague i've hears a story about one moron geologist ( indoor bookworm taken into field first time maybe) lost his squad and was find almost starved to death with a backpack full of canned meat and fish. BUT IT IS A STORY, LEGEND. EPIC FAIL!!! Why all characters in game a same fags that can not open can without anything sharp.

For now there is no any game which simulates sound direction and distance as good as it is in real life. It seems there is no technology. But i think some visual compensation can be figured out. For example if someone make sounds behind the wall you may see him (if sound loud enough, to go through this exact kind of wall, there should be some math) as blurry silhouette. Most FPS when you get shot show approximate direction to shooter with red mark. The same can be done for sounds, but not red color, may be yellow or grey. So you can "hear" if someone behind your back. But 3rd person looking through any obstacle and detecting enemy, staying quiet, waiting for you with his gun ready, should be totally removed.

Yes, now good ideas mixed up with discussion on current gameplay strategy, hints, advises, questions and whine. All i'm saying dedicated branch for ideas is in developers best interest. Im just curious, does developers read this forum?

I feel so stupid now, but thank anyway... Wait a minute... It's for mod. May be its better to make dedicated branch for SA, it will be more convenient, especially for newcomers. For example, i never played mod, so i dont even look to the "DayZ Mod" part of forum, i dont know if mod version of game still developing, or abandoned, and i'm sure i'm not unique.

We bought preAlpha game, so we invested our money in it. It looks more like kickstart project to me. I think it's time to invest some of our brains, and take part in game development, to make it as we want to see it, together. I have some ideas how to make this game better, and i'm sure so do you. There is my first idea. There should be a dedicated forum branch (or category, or smth else, i dnt know how to name it correctly, like "General Discussion" and "New Player Discussion") with name "Game Improvement Discussion" or "Game Improvement Ideas". Inside this branch: one idea - one topic. Topic starter should completely describe his idea as detailed as he can, other can make some argument. No off-top, only constructive criticism. So it will be well structured, and easy no navigate. I think this make easy for game developers to know what their most enthusiastic players want to improve, or balance. Because now if you want to figure out what players want, you have to digest sh*tload of whining, butthurt, pointless argue and other waste. If we just start one topic for it, like it is for beginners guide, where several ideas will be discussed simultaneously it will be confusing. If we just start posting new topics in "General Discussion", it will be lost among "why evryone KoS, my butt is so hurt", and "I died falling from a single stair, where can i get a refund" So it need to be dedicated and strictly moderated branch. Therefore i address this to forum administration also. P.S. Sorry, English is not my native, so i can only hope it's good enough for you can understand me.

Thanks. I think this should be added to some FAQ.
