What DayZ also needs to be even more realistic?

Have you drink almost freezing water? Feels good? -
When someone wrote in desc No PVP, only PVE, kill = ban, active admins or some rubish like that know that that will not protect you. I've just died after two days playing exclusively on "no pvp" servers so i could get my weapons in peace and where i was, back in Elektro to find someone friendly to IV bag me and some douche just sniped me from god knows where......so my advice is : KOS, everywhere, everyone.

Little info about NO PVP servers
Otis.Driftwood replied to Otis.Driftwood's topic in General Discussion
Hey i'm a sniper i'll just shoot someone from miles away even though he is not my threat and i will have to walk back there to get his cool stuff, real impressive - NOT I totally agree with you. This game has no purpose with KOS -

If that arrow doesnt kill him instantly.

I've been mushroom "hunter" for years now and i know about species of mushrooms. Some are edible, some are not edible, some of them are mildly poisonous, some are more lethal. There are some mushrooms that you can eat and nothing would happen for days. Two days later you would be sick, you would vomit a bit and then everything would be back to normal. Few weeks later your liver is starting to shut down, and so the other organs, then you die. People are saying that every mushroom has his evil twin but that is not true. Let's show for example some of them. Chicken of the woods (edible-someone eats it raw, someone boil it 1st) They grow on certain tree species. You all know this right? Amanita muscaria. This is not lethal mushroom, but it can make you sick and it gives you hallucination and delirium. And most lethal of them, the #1 killer in the world - Amanita phalloides My suggestion : you need to be very careful when picking mushrooms. You need to have knowledge in real life to be sure to use it or not because this game need to be real as it can be. Heck, when i'm on picking mushrooms i'm not picking something that i'm not 100 % sure what it is. Another way to gain some knowledge is through game where you can find a book among spawns where some basic mushroom species are described.

You are right, i didn't think of that. So, we have only dogs. Good enough -
I'm up for ghillie. Have in mind if they add weather like snow that you would need all the same materials but white color.

Otis.Driftwood replied to Otis.Driftwood's topic in Suggestions
Yes i was thinking about that. Glad that someone understand my suggestions even when my English is not that good :) I think that we are asking just too much at the moment and i don't think that they will go that far because it needs a lot of work, a lot lot lot to make this game as far as realistic it can (could) be. I would like weather change, sure. Imagine that get caught in heavy rain in the middle of a field and your clothes and bags are all wet and the chances for you to get sick from it, that would be awesome. Imagine winds and the sounds it produces when you're in the middle of a field, creepy. P.S. Waiting for Misery 2.1 so i could play cuz i have new config now :) -
I think that option to eat another human should be only automatically added as an option when you are dying of starvation and extremely hungry, not when you're full. If you watched movie Alive when airplane crashed on high mountains they ate humans other only when they had no other choice.

Otis.Driftwood replied to Otis.Driftwood's topic in Suggestions
Just making some noise to alert that someone is near, nothing special, telepathic or supernatural. If he doesnt make noise than the coast is clear, if he does make noise than someone is there (zombie or survival) Or, you can train a bird (hawk,eagle) to catch a rabbit or something small and to return it to you. Portion of that will go to him, portion to you, but never 100 % to you. -

That is why i said or will work :P While you're here can you tell me what's the use of black rope? -

Otis.Driftwood replied to Otis.Driftwood's topic in Suggestions
That's even better suggestion than mine because shouting doesnt take slots in inventory while megaphone would. I saw a couple of walkie talkie and i never tried them i guess they work (or, will work) between 2 playes for a longer distance (2 km radius) -

How can you get water when it's below zero? Unless you drill a hole into a lake and then extract it somehow. Also, i had one more idea. A megaphone. When you have a squard and someone is aproaching your "base" you announce your actions to them. That would be cool later on if they make craftable base -
Yes, craftable bows. That would be possible. You need : A strong bendable long branch and a piece of rope. And what about arrows? You need : straight, strong not bendable branch, feathers from a bird you kill with a gun or hunt from a trap, and metal point on the top. That would be a problem. Maybe a surgical scalper used with hacksaw to cut the top and apply it to the arrow?

Nobody said anything about shitting? :P I think it's good idea to create sleeping bags so someone could sleep for certain amount of time, let's say deep in the forest so it would be harder for other to detect him. Also, an alarm clock would be nice to. Let's say it's night and you are deep in the woods along camfire preparing food and your character wants to get some sleep. It's like in Stalker, you can say when you want to wake up. I think that would be awesome and to bigger advantage comparing to those who just log out. I think that no sleeping should affect your characted in terms of focus when aiming, running speed etc etc

Realism like panthing (after sprinting) when drinking water or eating a food through a gas mask.
