it should be sth small and stackable, ammo is not bad ;) also - ammo gets used so it would be limited amount of it in the wild ;) I am gonna make poll when we get enough options ;)

I've been there yesterday - nothing to loot ;)

Exactly. I just found a flaw in batteries - you can respawn, give your battery to your friend and kill yourself.

Well, that's not entirely true. Currencies have value because PEOPLE trust them. I bet you remember caps in fallout, it was interesting currency. I asked the question because I am curious if there is any item that could be potentialy recognized as currency. By currency I mean some common conversion base. Let's say batteries - even kids know that mosin costs 10 batteries, gas mask 2 batteries and it is one battery for 2 cans of food. Simples. If there is common conversion base, it is easier to barter - how many masks should it be for mosin and 8 cans of tuna?

That is smart tactic. if you live long enought you will get some gear and you will be the one others are afraid of :)

I know this is rather obvious thing but I think there should be stats like: -how many 'dayz' you survived using this character -how many people you killed -how many zombies you killed As game is steam-based they could be tied up with steam achievements. This would give some players a 'target' while others could still play as they like

yep, sorry, missed these posts ;)

10 minutes is not enough. especially in situations when there are groups of people involved - you cannot loot the corpse, you are busy fighting and then it is too late

I think even better would be to try to make him feel uncomfortable ;) "I just wanted to say hello and you killed me... Why? OH GOD WHY?"

Well, in that case you could lose your friend ;) I KNOW I would remember that :)

Yeah, I am playing with my friend too and once after respawn he couldnt find a backpack. He was talking about that backpack all the time, couldnt find it. And then we see a player attacked by zombies, bleeding like a pig. We killed that zombie and I tried to communicate with he wounded guy - he couldnt answer for some reasons (glitch?). And suddenly my friend said: "Look, he has a backpack" and BAM, he hit him with the crowbar. I have to admit it felt very uncomfortable.

there is one problem with less ammo/weapons approach: you are making geared players more vulnerable. Right now when I am geared up, I am the boss. Despite this fresh spawns still try to attack me to get my gear. What I would do is I would minimize chances of noobs knocking out the veterans, especially if there is some kind of helmet involved. There is no solution to kos, I found that two ingredients are helping ppl kill each other - it is fear and lack of communication. You yell "friendly", he yells "friendly" and then you see him coming into room with a gun ready, so you shoot him. maybe you should yell "friendly, but keep your distance" and you both would walk away from this encounter? :) i think it is worth consideration

I find it way more rewarding when I meet someone well equipped and we both walk away alive from this encounter. Really cool feeling. For me it is easier to be friendly outside hot zones like military bases and airfields - if I am there, it is kos.

If you need to find your location quickly check the road signs at the entrance of any bigger village.

I dont think bases is a good idea - as someone else said what wewe need is a storage. And I totally agree the storage content should disappear when you die. Otherwise game will turn into another regular shooter.

chances to KO player wearing helmet should be almost zero.

more different jackets / hats.

I played for the third time today and found Mosin. You would say "great!" but what is Mosin worth without the ammo? I think it is even worse - everyone sees you have a gun :) Of course 3 minutes after I found a gun, I met another player. Ammo or no ammo, Mosin looked dangerous enough that the guy raised his hands. OK, I didn't want to attack him (and I couldn't to be honest) so I run away a bit and started looking for any loot. After a minute or so the same guy came attacked me with a spanner - GOD IT WAS EMBARASSING, having a gun without ammo, and a guy beating the s* of you with a spanner. Of course I immediately started bleeding like a pig. It was really bad but I managed to run away a bit and attack him with my bare hands in narrow corridor, rendering him unconscious. I took all the pills he had on him. That will teach him. To be honest - I am not 100% sure he died, maybe he woke up after a while, lol (is it possible?) Really interesting encounter, I start to understand why people kos

so far I struggled more with UI than other players ;) another thing is that I try to stick to less populated servers ;)

IMHO it is absolutely NOT worth spending £20 on this game at this stage. let's face it - UI is crap, zombies go through buildings, lots of other issues. I think charging people £20 at this stage is robbery. On the other hand you can take part in shaping the game ;) so decision is yours ;)

10 mins cooldown timer so you cannot rejoin same server, problem solved

I played only twice so far ;) First time I spawned somewhere, found a bottle of disinfectant and drank it by mistake (shit UI). Blurred I got attacked by zombies and died. Second time I managed to get a hatchet, compass, food and defibrillator, then somehow lost hatchet (shit UI), found water in some village up north and it's when I thought: "ok, now we are talking". Unfortunately I got attacked by zombie and due to crap melee combat system got injured, lost too much blood, fainted and died. That's my story so far ;)
