It's a shame that the History tab on the server selection screen doesn't work. The servers aren't sorted in the order in which you visited them (or it is; I've just filled the list up), and you can't ever clear it. It's really frustrating when you die because you walked down the stairs, disconnect because of terrible lag, and then can't reconnect to the server you were on. Sorry if this sounds really bitter; I'm still recovering from the loss of my character. How I will miss him...

I've played played DayZ for 200 - 250 hours since I first downloaded the mod last year, and in all that time, I've not found a single pair of night vision goggles (NVGs). While I've been able to find rangefinders, all the best weapons, GPSs, and the other rarer items in the game, I've not found a single pair of NVGs. What I suggest isn't that they become common by any stretch but rather that they become less incredibly difficult to find. Thoughts?

I'm not a big fan of them either. I would be able to understand if they were made really rare, but as common as they are, they just don't fit with the general aesthetic of the game.

I don't know if tents exist yet in the standalone, but I haven't seen one. Has anyone here seen one? Anyway. One of the more annoying aspects of storing things in the DayZ mod was the fact that your tent would - given enough time - almost definitely be found by a thief. I would love to collect the complete works of William Shakespeare, but I know that they would be quickly eaten by axe-wielding trolls. Some suggestions: Better color - I think this one is pretty obvious. At the right angle, a tent in the mod stands out like a dancing Pikachu. You can cram it into the lower branches of a thick evergreen and still have a beacon of wealth shining for all to see.Better camo options - I remember finding a camo net in the mod for the first time and thinking it was meant to be draped over your tent for better camouflage. Nope. I suggest something that you can just put on the tent that would make it look more like part of a tree or even a rock.Thicker underbrush - This would just make the forests thicker and the tents happier.Shorter draw distance - I imagine that one of the most effective methods for hiding tents would be to keep them invisible to the player until they are nearby. From an opposite hill or a helicopter, the lower draw distance of the plants really makes the tents obvious.Thoughts? Suggestions?

I like the idea of rarer camo tents. It would be abit like the backpack situation now. And DJPorterNZ, I'm not wanting to have things too different. I just think that thieves should need to do more than fly above the woods to find people's things.

I like this idea! This would make the tiny light from the flashlight even scarier and would just be a bit more realistic. I'm upping my thumbs here toward you.

Yeah, I agree with sYs on the negative IRL reception. You can only get so brutal before it gets teh Fox News treatment. I'm a big fan of the idea of giving rope some use. After all, it would be an extremely useful item in a real survival situation, and it would be amazing if the developers introduced an entire rope system. Imagine pulleys! Tree houses, easy-access rooftops...

Really good stuff, and I like the intro! It's really short, and it has a sort of quirky/well-that-sucks mood that you know the stories will have. I say you should keep it just as it is. The guitar intro, that is.
