Sencha

Tobacco is a drug. Just like alcohol is a drug. Just because they're legal doesn't change that they're drugs. Also, pretty sure they've already confirmed that smoking will be added to the game at some point.

Yet ghillie suits are in the game.

There are a lot of things in DayZ that add to the game without necessarily adding to the gameplay. The two aren't mutually exclusive.

What do you mean "don't know even exists"? I know every item in the game. I've played the game a lot, and whenever something new is added, it's in the fucking patch notes. You're not getting ANY new information out of a system like this, the only difference from how it is now, is that you can actually see how the gear combination will look, as opposed to having to imagine it. That's it. No other difference, no impact on gameplay. It's completely harmless.

Why would it? Does it spoil the excitement of finding something when the devs release pictures of stuff, or when you read the patch notes? You're not getting any of the gear just because you see that it exists. Besides which, we all already know all of the gear in the game. No more immersion breaking than any of the other options menus. Actually less, since this won't be accessible ingame, just from the start menu. And you don't have to use it if you don't want to. If I was suggesting adding a store ingame where you could go to try on clothing, that would be immersion breaking, but this is basically just a model viewer.

Since gear is a major part of DayZ, it would be nice if we had a menu where we could pick our character, and try on all of the different kinds of gear to find cool outfit combinations, without having to go find everything in game.

The new animations make you look like a monkey.

Right now we can check the pulse of a body, and whether or not the corpse is warm or cold, we can guess if another player might be nearby. What would be a great addition to this system is if you could check for what kinds of wounds a body has suffered. So you get another option saying "Inspect Body" for instance, and when you use it you get text saying "This person has several deep gashes." which would tell you they were killed by an axe, or a machete. "This person has suffered a multitude of slashes and stabs." if it's a knife, or "This person has X number of bullet wounds." which tells you they got shot. And so and so on for all the different types of weapons. After this, if they got shot, you can use your knife to dig out the bullet. This would let you identify what kind of weapon killed them, which lets you know what kind of weapon the other player has. Or, if it's multiple types of bullets, that it's more than one player, or that they switched weapons mid-fight.

It would literally be stupid not to add beards.

I want a Garand. Don't care if it doesn't make sense in the game, I want it. Add it.

I think pistols should be faster to equip and use than rifles. Another thing that would make pistols actually viable in the game.

This is Alpha, where we're SUPPOSED to complain about mistakes. That's sort of why we're here. Going "Meh, Alpher" and waiting for the full release before complaining is doing it wrong.

Let's discuss it again until it's added.

And the walking ghost phase of radiation poisoning makes you "feel" better as well, but you're still dying just as quickly.

I don't know how to get rid of all hackers, but I do know how to get rid of most hackers. Just change the game into two separate clients; one for Russia, and one for everywhere else.
