Like the 'Smart Parts Russian Legion NXT Shocker 07 Paintball Gun'. Find it in pieces or all put together. Find a hopper of ammo and you're set. The point? There is no point. It could be fun, that is all. Find more then one and you got yourself a good time! :D http://www.e-paintball.com/m_images/79007-1.jpg

neurotoxic Nikolayev gas http://www.russiansleepexperiment.com/ and here http://creepypasta.wikia.com/wiki/The_Russian_Sleep_Experiment If the gas talked about here got out in the Russian/Chernaurus/Czech Republic countryside... It would be DayZ. We don't sleep... we kill each other for fun... Oh- my- god! As back-story this could be priceless.

This is odd. Could be good back-story. http://brazilweirdnews.blogspot.com.br/2014/01/kazakhstan-strange-epidemic-of-sleep.html Oh and here's one pic to tempt you all into looking into this as a great premise for DayZ. See you in your nightmares. ~shudder

Absolutely.

Horse bumped. Here's some fire art of mine to fuel some imagination. No Photoshop eh.

I'll bite. Here's a crow mask I made from crow feathers, cardboard, and electrician's tape. ~kaw!

Love what I'm seeing here. A note on lightning. This should statistically be possible to survive, say 50/50. But the effects of having lightning 'go around you' (which is what it would be doing - if you survive) would make all your cloths explode off, accept for tightly secured things like underwear - which would catch on fire. Oh, and it would lift you off the ground several feet. Now that would be a sight to see.

It's a simple idea, but complex to implement. You can't just change the colour palette. They would have to make new models for most of the terrain. Having said that, it's a great idea. I hope Rocket and his boyz are up for the challenge. Weather would add so much to the game.

"Common buddy... you can make it... just a little further." ^_^

+1 for eating shrooms. The effects must be as realistic as possible for a game like this. Most of the psychological effects of mushrooms would be a challenge to reproduce in-game: Visual and sound distortions, hallucinations (fun), tracers, randomly dropping and pick things up, removing cloths, running (uncontrollable moments of sprinting), sitting, laying down, and talking to yourself... lots of talking to yourself. And yelling at trees - can't forget to yell at trees. And thinking the sky looks really big. Just to name a few.

Just to put it out there, drag king mustaches, sideburns, and musketeer beards for female characters is absolutely a great idea. ~Now that tickles my fancy! :lol:

Server hopping. Yuck. Unless we are running around with pocket sized, parallel-reality, time-space portable wormholes. This isn't a good thing in the long term for DayZ imo. I had a light-bulb moment and was wounder if this simple idea has seen the light of day: Make the server you pick your 'default' server until your character dies, or go link dead. Log out, and the server you will log back into will be your default server, every time. Going link-dead, joining a full server, or dying will be the only way to change servers. We would get to know the names of the other players on our server that way too, and if you get killed and like the server, just log back on with a new character. Rinse, repeat. Feel free to shoot holes through this Idea if you can, or give it support it there isn't to many other ideas like this one floating around. -booya

Yes. That chain-link fence rattle should happen because a careless character or zombie bumped into a chain-link fence. That would get my attention, right now it's just fluff.

Every object in the game should have a not-so-useful, but fun thing you can do with it. Shopping karts and steep hills could be a hoot!

I want a skittish, under-fed police horse to befriend. +1

Is that a tardis in your pocket or are you just happy to see me? :blush: :lol: Oo, and add in that 30 second combat spawn timer that's coming soon and we are laughing eh.

Noob question on the topic of in-game messages. Who is it that can see what you have typed? Is it in a certain range of your character, or is it server wide?

My guess is most surviving dogs would be 1st generation wolf/guard dog hybrids. Packs of them, none of which want to be your friend - Because you don't make friends with your next meal. :D

I think the problem here, if there is one. Is that this is your first couple of posts here Deadwolf. I'm pretty new here too, by-the-by. The idea of those in the industry, getting together to talk DayZ - for the love of DayZ, isn't a bad one. I'm all for it. It's just we have to earn some credibility with the community by getting to 1500 posts like Bean Queen has. Then people will perk up and take note without looking sideways and wondering what's the angle. Here's to hoping this thread attracts others in the industry to chime in. ;)

I can picture my DayZ character holding a ragged, old drone control unit. Limited battery life left... I need to find a runway. Could drones of various types find there way into our little corner of the woods? -Please discuss if yer keen.

Beans, beans for you. Yeah, a drone would defiantly have little in-game purpose, except what the community makes of it. Which would be entirely the point. Make it rare, and it is something else to die over - Good times! :thumbsup:

I win this thread.

A warning to you though about PvE and RP servers in Alpha. They are magnets right now for PvP KOS players because there are no restrictions on where people can play. You are better off on low-population servers with "doors closed" due to server resets. If you see doors open, someones has been there. If you see bodies, there is a good chance you're next. Be cautious out there eh. It's a mean world in Alpha DayZ SA.
