stizzco (DayZ)

I get your point but I would hope by that time the Play button on the main menu would auto-connect to a server best suited for for your skill level/hours played etc.

Imagine it is 2016 and DayZ is out of beta. What if one of the endgame scenarios was the ability to find a cold war era launch silo with a live nuke and then to be able to detonate it? Somewhere out in the middle of nowhere spawned in one of say 10000 random locations. Perhaps at great personal peril - a survivor might be able to remove the war head and scurry it about the countryside in a backpack. All the while slowly dying of radiation sickness but ultimately able to detonate it somewhere. Or perhaps it is too large and bulky to be portable and the only option is to launch and maybe launch codes could be found. Coordinates could be entered and with the push of a button - bye bye NWAF, or Skalisty Island. The only way I could see this working is if the nuke was locked to the server. And if the Nuke was possessable, logging out while possessing causes detonation and death of possessor. The remaining survivors on the map would then have to deal with the radioactive aftermath of whatever place went boom - at least until server reset and it might give us new items like lead blankets, HAZMAT suits, Geiger counters etc. Who hates this idea and why?

I found a Bible in a church but didn't keep it for lack of space at the time. Still looking for The Art Of War

This. Finding a body that died from hunger, sickness, bled out unconscious from a zed attack etc..is very rewarding because those bodies have loot that was recently gathered and wont that respawn for a long time. When the body disappears after 10 minutes so does the loot it held. I once died fully geared out in the NWAF because it was fresh after a server restart and I drew the attention of every zed as I looted the place. I didn't make it out alive and it took me 2 hour to get back to that spot from the coast by which time the body was long gone. Since I had previously looted the NWAF of everything decent, anyone coming in after me would have found the place already ransacked and left empty handed. Unless they were lucky enough to find my dead body and my backpack full of military grade loot. If I'm unable to get back to my corpse, some other survivor should have the opportunity to loot my dead body for at least until all the good loot I took respawns. Just my 2 cents.
