I do think the multiple layered clothing thing is an awesome idea, especially if the heat mechanic is sorted properly. Rule number 1 when trying to stay warm is layers so it makes sense. I also think unzipping clothing would be good if overheated to vent air...when on loaded marches in the army you unzip your jacket a bit and loosen off your cuffs so air circulates easier. Not so sure I'd add socks but I agree with the rest :)

Showing your stats at the end would be a nice touch (Time alive, kills, food eaten, times bandaged etc). But agree that tracking your movement on a map would take up a lot of resources if you lived for more than a few days. Also the map could become a massive mess!

It looks like someone has imported the model in to ArmA 2/3.

I think also no one would pick one of these over a back pack as the extra space is a higher priority. Not saying that it would hurt having it in game I just don't think it would be used often and if it did it would only be able to protect you against unarmed players really

Would love to see stuff like this. Also things like trip wires for grenades/mines etc...but I imagine all this sort of stuff will get added at some point down the line

A 5.56/7.62 round would go straight through one of those things. They are only meant to stop things like rocks/stones hitting police officers and only really work when there is a big line of them stuck together. With that in mind they are pretty pointless unless against an unarmed attacker, but then if you can't use one with a weapon it's still pointless!

LOL you wouldn't be able to hit anything while sprinting and shooting!

Have to contact Battleye about the situation

Post all your graphics settings up, there are certain things in the ArmA/DayZ SA engine that kill FPS that aren't really needed! If you want to do some research yourself look up ArmA 2 graphics/FPS optimisation

Have you moved away from the coast towns? I'm guessing this is your problem?

I like the whole random event thing...sorta like the zombie hordes that have been mentioned. Maybe not NPCs though because Rocket has already said he doesn't want that I think. I think the bounties thing could be made by the community though if they ever bring back the pen and paper. We all decided where we want to post bounties and anyone who finds a note with a name there will start the hunt!

I'd say this would actually put a lot of extra strain on the server. At the moment I imagine all the drawers etc are just part of the building model. They'd have to be created as extra objects within the server. That's a lot of extra information for the server to handle without adding loot in to them

You'll need 2 steam accounts, each with a copy of dayz

What graphics settings are you using?

Only doable with the long range scope for the Mosin I think

Ha amazing! How'd you get all those zeds?!?! Was your friend running around elekto grabing them all?

Nice idea but it could be used to exploit the situation while talking over TS (Giving people extra info etc)

A good idea for new players or players who want less pew pew is to play on lower/medium populated servers. Less chance of you running into a person who will kill you! Also, head north!

Like the idea of the camelback :) Pretty much standard issue for the Army in the UK so I'm sure they'd be in Russia around military places

Might be worth making it multiply the more times you do it. Then as time goes by the multiplier decreases

I try not to use the DayZDB (use it when trying to meet up with friends fast and don't have a map but never when playing alone) and quite like the idea of the split maps.

Yeah this idea doesn't work at all if 2 people join a server with bases in the same location. If they have instances where you can only go in to your base it's kinda lame because then people couldn't steal your stuff? This would make dying pretty pointless as you could just collect a massive amount of everything and never worry again

Did not know about this! So keen to hunt people in that!

Like the idea but don't think catching would work well in the engine unless you could select your target. Then if they had space it would do it automatically

I really like the idea but instead of adding spawn points in the cities I think they should be in the forests around the map. You'd wake up and have to find out where you were! Much more fun/stressful depending on how you look at it!
