runle #1 for dayz standalone alpha should be: Dont get attached to your gear just dont, it may be hard for some. if the ingame bugs dont get you then there is always the random login and all your stuff is gone bugs. Just learn to shrug it off and play on because its Alpha, that comes before beta.

I dont like bandits but the game would be really fricken boring without them. for me this game is most enjoyable getting together with a couple others and working together to move around. find loot/kit and avoid or kill bandits

I would think to be realistic the AK would have to be a bit less accurate than the M4 but do more damage, penetrate objects more. good to see they have the skins in the game but that doesn't mean they are going to be in soon. I wanna see the dragunov or SVD in the game :)

People enjoy being medics in the game and helping others. I think It would make the game more interesting and rewarding. to the type of people that enjoy these types of mini-games and also make the game more social. Survivors would generally rely more on others for long term survival. I was thinking that teeth are really important in a survival situation for long periods. in a survival situation relying on fizz drinks/chocolate would cause you serious issues quickly. Would be good if the food/health system in the game gave you benefits if you ate healthy/in moderation. Maybe make some food items like fresh fruit/vege & lean meat more valuable, managing it well gives you a small long term bonus. Maybe sweet foods give you desirable short term boost to energy levels but negatively impact oral health. Depending on how complex the game gets it would be cool to have some more granular health status areas to maintain. The two that stick out for me are mouth/teeth and feet, in a survival situation there may be no tooth brushing or tooth paste and no dentist so a tooth problem becomes a life and death issue. Also foot maintenance is critical, bog foot or chronic blisters can become life and death as well. Example, maybe a survivor drank too much cola over a given period and develops a problem tooth, which prevents them from eating, gives sick status. to fix you would need a pair of pliers or screwdriver - sterilized to reduce infection to pull the tooth, and a friend to perform the task. It would obviously cause bleeding from the mouth and would require sterilized packing/bandage to cure, or even something like a screwdriver heated with a gas burner to cauterize the wound, stop bleeding and reduce infection risk in one shot, but cause a loud screem alerting people in the area! To go on from there you could add eye health? add chances of eye injuries and infections that blur a survivors vision on one side of the screen, maybe requires antibiotic cream and an eye patch/bandage around the head covering the eye for a period of time to cure. If untreated can cause blindness and death!

yip, or multitool can be used as can opener, pliers, knife, maybe it even has a compass on it or flint for starting fire other hybrid items, like the rambo knives wich have a compass on them and matches/flint in the handle

I dont honestly think a dental system is a must for the game I'm just trying to come up with ideas to expand the mediacal system a bit. But I do think its realistic, you get in a survival situation and live of soda/chocolate or canned spaghetti/beans (which have a lot of sugar/salt as well) with no means to clean your teeth and problems will come quick. broken limbs are partially in or on the way, splints are in the game. So is an exposure cold/hot? system. foot rot/bog foot if you have wet feet for too long or use the same shoes/boots for too long. add some more treatment types & ability to cauterize I think eye injuries would be really cool, force you to run around looking like this for a while: the idea would be to add a bit more survival med/treatment without going over the top. Dont like my ideas feel free to add your own :)

yeah, crossbow and bow as well as craftable bow, bolt and arrow somehow implemented you would have to say are basically a must have for this game, as well as bow injuries, where someone would have to pull the arrow out and bandage you up - if you actually survive the hit :)

fast travel or teleport would ruin what this game is about IMO. to get from pooint A to B you need to have enough food & water, you need to know where you are going, maybe you need a compas and along the way you may need to dodge bandits or help people in need. insta travel or tlelport I think would basically make the game pointless. to some extent vehicle will help when they arrive in some form

im not suggesting that it becomes a surgical simulator, or that players would need to clean their teeth. just that more conditions and treatments be added to the game to build on the medical system thats there. And that the food/drink system be expanded a bit to make it more interesting and complex.

DONT MAKE ME GET MY MAIN!

in a survival situation lacking normal every day items and services often issues usually considered trivial become life threatening a medical system is already in the game, im just trying to come up with ideas to expand on it and add more real life survival situation variables and complexity.

KDR is not what this game is about, I also think opening cans without a tool is a silly idea even though it is possable. If it did make it into the game and it wont, attempting to open a can without a tool should come with a chance to cut yourself, including a chance to get an infection and lose the food you were after. I also dont think perks or talent trees are in the spirit of this game. progression in this game is about understanding it and experience playing it. not about in game talents/perks. The game needs complexity and options you need to learn. not a skill tree.

I would disregard the OP, this is how I understand the game works if you are full blood it takes three quick punches to the head to be knocked out/go unconscious you dont need an epi pen to recover from it, you will recover in only a few secounds. if you dont or you die its probably because the person that punched you out took your gun off you and shot you or you fell off something to your death or further injury. if you did get knocked unconscious with one punch in the head it would probably mean you were below 50% blood, if you run about with compromised health/blood status you risk being eventually taken down easy/1 hit I also understand that wearing a helmit gives you some protection, so you can always just put on one of the helmits that are almost everywhere in the game.

making fresh/drinking water from sea water is called desalination its not that common and wouldn't make sense at all on this map, only really used in an area with salt water but very little rain or fresh water, and generally a good source of energy. even making a solar still would not make much sense in the game. on the dayz map and survival situation it would make infinately more sense to boil and cool pond or stream water for survival.

it can be fun right now you just need to have really thick skin and not be attached to your gear I die and lose stuff to bugs much more than legit deaths. be it somehow triping on a step and dying, drifting through a wall and dying, being on the 2nd floor and being hit from zombies on the floor below, or just logging safe and happy with all your nice gear only to find when you log in again you are washed up on a beach back at square 1. When that happens you NEED to be able to just shrug it off and start again. Its hard to do sometimes. Heck once I snuck around the game for 3+ hours with another player and we kitted ourselves out fully with fantastic gear and just as soon as we had basically full kit the game hung and crashed for both of us at the same time and when I logged back in I was back on the beach again with nothing. If you cant just shrug off stuff like that then dont play this game right now. It Will rage you out.
