but of course Im known to be wrong! ALOT

Unfortunately, I think the Dayz Dev Team went on there holiday break... You might be waiting till after new years day. 😞

The bow was pretty cool. Silent and efficient.

ummm... In game? or a 3rd party website/ mobile app?, on the main screen or when viewing a tourist ingame map? OHHH Your talking about on Modded servers... I have seen them, you need to delete them from the ingame map the mod providews I believe, you may have to find the modd that is doing that on steam and read there instructions

I posted this into the suggestions area, but wanted to share it here as well with all of you. I posted this 6 years ago. This game has made tremendous progress!

I posted this in this forums 6 years ago... This game has made tremendously large leaps and bounds.

They had archery at one point- I forget which update, but it was before retail. But I threw a sharpened stick yesterday and it threw it like a spear.. I have not yet expanded anymore research into it though. Gorkas will play an important role once they return the rain and get the cold/heat modification with hunger/thirst straightened out, im placing bets on it. Being part of the DayZ team would be a adventure everyday reading these forums. the massive workloads some of these more simpler additions may cause. My biggest fear as a programmer would be to work so hard on code and get to a specific milestone just to find out you missed something important and have to re-do the entire workload to that point... But I could see cruzing around in Dayz with a riders Jacket & a motorcycle helmet all on the back of a mo-ped or a bicycle. If I saw that in game I would lose concealment watching by rolling on the ground laughing trying to hold down my gut. On a motorcycle sure- something that can propell you hundreds of feet through the air... But then again- Maybe they should allow for seatbelts into the cars as well? hehehe

I wonder what it would be like if Infected could bash down walls and doors, gates and climb through windows I personaly would build or dig an underground shelter. but I understand the programing implications of such freedoms

I was sitting inside an abandoned apartment around the north side of the map waiting for the sun to go down... Thinking what a terrific addition to the game would be if there where sunrays in the late afternoon shining through the window with dust particles floating inside of it... Talk about atmospherics! To me this game is one giant "Getaway" from life.. the more things I can think to do in a camping situation the happier I am playing.. Concocting meals would be fabulous, SMOKING CIGERETTTES would be OUTSTANDING, Making alcoholic beverages or HOT choclate would be heart warming. Resting would be a loving transcript to my plight of danger, I swear the other day, this infected was following me- Everywhere I walked to inside Sarvograd I would look behind me and this one particular infected was there, just out of agro range, looking at me in my direction slowly creeping along at me. this went on for some time, I was about to give him a name when I lost track of him... But stepping back a few paces.. I was thinking what else could be done without alot of programing that would make the camp time more important... Being able to eat and emote at the same time- beared some fruit.. *Edit* I know Imentioned this before in the forums. but having a seccond stamina bar- This one depicting your overall daily energy. This would keep in mind to the players that they are not superhumans. running all day and night. but modified by vitamine, food, water, rest and even coffee. Resting for 10 minutes real time would refill this indicator, but what I am trying to do is place emphasis on the camping side of real life into the game & not to hinder another players immersiveness (easy comes as easy goes to modded servers). I love the stamina bar, and lets be truthful there are some outstanding mods for this game available- but the servers that show off some of these elements all have the stamina bar removed which is the number 1 biggest deterrent for me to play on them- so I dont. ( even if that means depicting cheaters as some radical quark in the game that cannot be denied, so I see cheaters as a random ingame element of danger and not real people (because they are not playing like a real person to begin with) sorta like running into a bear. but before I lose track- The stamina bar is what is separating the men from the mice. DONT LET THE MICE WIN BECAUSE THERE ARE MORE OF THEM! One thing I do know though- Is I dont want to have to watch my charector pissing in the corner or needing to take a poo... This is definatly not what I would call a quality immersive aspect. Oh Yeah... There kinda needs to be a tad bit more comprehension between how you cheractor feels and it displaying it. as of this moment the "being cold aspect" is spot on.. thats great. now if it had this type of architectural information based around hunger and thirst as well, without being a hindrance to times where keeping quiet is very important. should not be too difficult to employ. Sorta like the coughing and sneezing- did a FINE job on its implementation! at first it was alittle overkill, but now it is BEAUTIFUL ! I kinda miss the torrential Down pours of rain! That was such a clever way to push the player to live inside the dynamics of weather by rushing from one house to the next. Wind on the other hand- I can fully understand how the wind would be such a programming nightmare.. so I am meditating on ways that may help you designers... just give me time! KEEP UP THE GREAT WORK GENTLEMEN & LADIES!

I found my first christmas gift in dayz tonight! WOOHOO, Unfortunately there was nothing in it.... Its the thought that counts!

I already told you what to do- throw the m4 and the nvg out and let them despawn- problem fixed ahem I appologize, I dint mean to be rash, but afer a while items become less and less and the value of the game becomes more asnd more

Oh I get it now, NVG Storage, A lebeled container for NVG's only... I see. I am glad I dont need NVG's to see at night. mainly because I never find them, they are extremely rare, to rare to label a specific container just for them and DEFINATLY to rare to leave them in a container when I can log out with them on my person, interesting.... Actually I changed my mind: It is not very interesting in fact i am just going to ignore this thread and the other one you created, justlike your loot despawning: Sorry for your loss

Are they dupped items? Because I know if the item server for a shard detects duplicated items it will remove them, possibly restart your toon or ban you. You might try commiting suicide and starting again to see if it persists, because I only play on official servers and I have seen or heard of any problem such as this- which is concerning me to think you are dupping items Delete the m4 and the NVG googles, let them despawn and try again, I have a feeling you may have gotten these items from a dead player that may have dupped them.

Same with DayZ Underground... There is no fruit on that server and canned food is super rare. I am one of those people that want it harder! I appreciate the challenge. I do not like to PVP but I INSIST on the constant danger of it! I for one would love to see the game mechanics that will force people to work together, force them to camp at night because it will get to cold to survive or more wolves will spawn at night including more infected that will come out with a higher agro range. darker nights and lighter nights depending on the phases of the moon. But more imporantly stuff to do during this camp time. Cards dice, cooking, repairing equipment, building on the bases or shelter, finding ways to catch rain, building traps, sharpening tools making a garden, maybe even have mini games inside the camp to compensate for the dangers in the nighttime that should bring; in such a desolate situation. Personaly There needs to be 2-3 infected per house in the citys/towns. And just like COVID- The disease should mutate to effect animals maybe, Having infected cows and boars that will run after you, Cows are not a pussy animal and it should not take more effort to kill a chicken then just a running heavy attack from an axe to drop a cow. Risk/Reward. Military infected should be EXTREMLY dangerous! Smoking cigerettes (believe it or not) is an effective and easy implementation that will give RP value to players and pass ingame time ALOT more efficiently then one might think! Besides you might find that if people or kids can smoke in game they will beless likely to smoke in real life, because they will have a place to vent that emotion and characteristics of that emotion, instead of resorting to accomplish this aspiration in real life. If smoking in game would cause people to smoke, there would be one hell of alot of dead people lying in the streets with bullet wounds and axes stuck in there backs. Somemore food for thought to make this game more challenging - Domesticated cats (this is for an example that leads to a point) have very very dirty mouths. If you are bitten by a cat you are 90% chance sure you are going to get an infection at the bite site. cats bites are not to be played around with. the infected in this game should present the same challenge if one causes you to bleed. All in all the food availability is a little high. but this might be to compensate for the sheer amount of it you need to consume even from just afternoon to dusk... I worked construction for 17 years out in the cold weather, even in the sub temperature. this cold has never once changed my lunch time at 1 oclock pm. summer time sweating balls or winter time freezing balls, Not once has it effected my the time I consumed food. I do know one thing though- I would not survive a single minute in the cold wihou a pair of shoes. your feet are a HUGE conductor of heat transfer in the body especialy when it is cold. I am affriad if Dayz is going to get a harmonic balance here- They are going to have to hire a dietary doctor to assist in its implementation. Unless one of you Dayz Fans are a dietician that can assist for free- That would be wonderful. I know I have encountered Premed students before in game when Dayz had alot of emphasis on medicine and food/chemical poisonings and the defibulator blood transfusions and when you needed another player to administer an IV. (which was an ingenious way to promote teamwork ingame). If Dayz does have a Dietary Doctor already assisting them I Appologize.

Can you see buried loot this way?

barrels hold more too. I have to admit- I am becoming more and more fond of the stick improvised shelter. It hides pretty well.

How? I know a sneaky spot somepoeple use is up on those dock cranes

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH Merry Christmas!

*I removed a video* Because I wanted to

Especially if they are still gonna add helicopters

I do agree with one thing though- they need to implement a way to set traps that are persistent for as long as a persistent container and that will mortaly wound a player (cheater or not) if they attempt to break in at the traps location, especialy if DayZ is gonna move in the direction of these "bases" to be the players home. Also brings me back to another point! A 740 Sq KM map expansion would make hiding your "home" alot easier and more feasable. they could still funnel newspawns or bambis on the coast for player interaction but the farthur you get away the harder it should be to locate a player base.

I was playing on a modded server one day that has concrete you can pour to form walls.... I forget the name of the modd but it looked pretty cool. about the helicopters, yeah that presents an interesting challenge. and a "Secure room" or "Fallout shelter" there called are good as long as they are vented. if the vents get clogged or blocked you had best have a way to unblock them. But yeah you would need more then a few grenades to bust into one of those I would imagine, I think even a asedaline torch would have a very difficult time doing that. those are manufactured about the same fasion as your helicopter though, good luck in installing one where you want your base, but then again- there is always these aircraft hangers at northwest airfield and tissy I believe that may offer the protection of simular fasion. If I aint mistaken breaking in a locked door (without lockpicks) is dependent on the make of the door itself, that might prove to be of help, all in all- Like I said before, Bases are not ment to be loot storage containers, bases (IMHO) are quick locations to perform various operations in a given area... If you really need to secure your loot, bury it in graves in a crate in a grave yard.

Im sorry to hear that.. I know the feeling gnawing inside, the anger, mixed with other emotions... "Why cant these lazy P****'s find there own loot like a man?!, Its no wonder this world is in the shape it is in!" But in reality... I could goto your house in real life and it would take me less then 20 minutes to use a sawz-all and physicaly cut a hole in the exterior wall of your house and gain enterance- I dont care what alarm system you have around the windows and doors. if a dog charges me it to would be cut in half. and if I felt extra awnry, I could cut the nails holding the tie.ins to your walls at corners and junctions, drop your sheetrock from your ceiling to expose the trusses and cut the truss tie ins to your exteroir wall, sweep along the bottom of the wall where the studs are nailed into the bottom plate and drop your entire exterior wall in less then an hour. something that would take up to a year to build, GONE in less then a few hours. HAHAHA- You would come home from work to see the whole front side of your house laying flat on the ground, the roof sagging and drooping would become your new front porch. And the sad thing is- your neighbors would think you hired me to do this

Wall mounts, my friend! Wall mounts. But yeah, one step at a time, lest you might break it on accident

I think the Dayz team heard us in the forums and went on there xmas break last night or yesterday. I went to play last night and there was food everywhere, I mean everywhere... I built a small improvised shelter outside elektro/cherno and by the time I was done the fruit and mushrooms where everywhere, unlike I have ever seen. I am guessing to tide us over until they can look into it fully.
