I know right? it's gonna be awesome! You think we will see different behavior patterns? Like them forming groups and going hunting or maybe even getting inside buildings sleeping. It would be rad sneaking inside houses trying not to wake them while searching for loot. :D

We can all agree that according to the latest zombie showcase video,broken zombies will be a thing of the past. The only real question remaining,is whether their numbers are actually going to pose a threat. Like it's said multiple times before,even the best zombie AI in the gaming world would prove worthless if their presence only offers a minor inconvenience...

Personally i think fuel should be made the ticket to luxury. Electricity is vital and generator fuel should be the only access to stuff like... - Advanced Base Building (Construction Tools) - Welding (advanced vehicle upgrades and repairs,advanced barricading - Electric Fences) - Advanced Crafting (Saw tables and general manufacturing machinery) - Running Appliances (Ovens,Fridges,Stationary Radios and Security Systems like CCTV with remote communication and remote access doors ) - Functioning Radiators - Electricity Lighting - Garden with Sprinkler System ...and much more i forgot to mention! If the above features are implemented and fuel is made a scarce,valuable resource,people are bound to consider it as a means of currency.

It's still very basic,there are a couple of leather working recipes and some basic elementary crafting but that's about it. People have mixed opinions about crafting though. I belong to the people that wish for a large variety and more crafting oriented gameplay. But others like you said yourself,only want a pretty basic "Bear Grylls" style crafting and more of a scavenging oriented gameplay.

I had the exact same question with you OP. Here's the response of Brian Hicks,DayZ's lead developer...

I already asked Victor about it on the New Animations and features sub forum. He said maybe,so who* knows... Maybe we 'll be lucky to see something about it in the future!

Does anyone know about bone meal? It's a type of fertilizer made by using bone matter. As a slow-release fertilizer, bone meal is primarily used as a source of phosphorus and protein. I'm sure people that have spent some time playing Minecraft or Elder Scrolls know exactly what i'm talking about. :)

Give this man a cookie quick!!! : P

Eugen,there are problems with stuffed - hungry notifications. Can we get a word,on whether these are intentional stomach capacity and food nutritional value tweaks in light of the upcoming cooking mechanics? Or just another bug?

In the end,you are still promoting negativity though... :lol: But anyways,game being in Alpha has a natural need for feedback. Either negative or positive a constructive representation is the only thing that counts. People before me,have said it better themselves...

I don't know about you guys,but if i were to vote what should be the next means of transportation besides the V3S,a horse is the first thing that would come to mind. I mean what's not to like? No need for gas,no need for repairs and they make the best "hamburgers". :D

You know what would make an excellent idea? Having different cover variants depending on the material. - We could have burlap covers that offer moderate protection,but are not completely waterproof. - Raincoat crafted covers,that offer higher protection but still not completely waterproof. - And finally the non-crafted standard issue backpack covers that are completely waterproof.

If there's a chance we get a cheerleading outfit,it should be no other than what Juliet wore from "Lollipop Chainsaw"! I'm not gonna lie,DayZ ain't got squat on this game....it's far superior to every other titles in the genre. :P

Then we would have a ton of people abusing the F11 button for a better spawn. Not the kind of thing you would want for a game like DayZ...

Until this day,I still don't understand why devs are so against implementing this system in DayZ. Yeah sure,one can argue that your common survivor isn't a trained infantry member,but still,this is nothing extraordinary. But,Hey...i'm sure your average Joe would instead be able to perform blood transfusions or skin animals and create rucksacks out of them... Let's be realistic here,learning how to cook would prove a bigger challenge for me than learning using these cover tactics. Besides,the movement and cover mechanics were always clunky,if this is implemented it would enhance firefights tenfold.

BF2 was waaaaay more teamwork and tactical oriented than this generation's series installments. Glad you shared,this brought me nostalgic feels...

This is a great idea,especially for barricading. This is how i want it to be implemented. Rocks+Sand should make a different form of barricade. But burlap + sand should be more effective.

With a little enginuity,anything is possible for a Fiat... They said i could be anything... This isn't even my final form...

Tell that to Ivan.... Jokes aside though,Peter did mention adding rails as part of an advanced crafting system in the latest Status Report. So,yeah...i guess it's happening! :D

When you buy raw foods,especially fresh vegetables, one of the first steps you may take is to wash them. When vegetables are grown in the ground,they are at increased risk for coming in contact with contaminants that can commonly live in the soil. While this is something obvious in our everyday lives,it would prove a challenge following this hygiene protocol when in the Apocalypse. Unlike us,survivors don't always have the luxury of a nearby accessible water source. This may be on the realism side,but i propose a system where you have to clean your fruit or vegetables before consumption,or risk an infection chance. Seeing that Diseases is in Q1 in the roadmap this is something that would make an interesting addition in the world of DayZ.

OP's face when writing this comment... :lol: But seriously though,i would expect them being relatively clean in order for you to do something like that.As DayZ is a game,we can't properly simulate how hygiene would affect the survivor.Having a system where it tells us how clean is the food,it's not something extraordinary!After all,you wouldn't put in your mouth the one week's old kiwi you found lying under the sofa of a house before making sure it's safe to eat...But of course,i also agree with the opinion that this is micro management feature and we can live without it... ^_^Feedback is always welcome regardless of opinion!

No worries, just post your Steam ID as a note and click the "Make Private" button after you submit your issue in the Feedback Tracker. (See here) Good Luck!

With or without the upgraded version? :D

Honestly,i don't think they will allow something like that. You can already eat people,i don't see why we have to take it on a "Buffalo Bill" level. Be nice now,that was uncalled for.

Ah,i get it! So there's not really a way to speed up the process. Also as i understand it,there is no limitation in how many different skills a character can learn. Upon reading on EVE though,i noticed that there are certain attributes that affect the time duration for training a skill. (Gunnery Skill - Perception etc) Should there be something similar implemented in this system too?
