It is not nonsense, I just want to see DayZ be the best game it can be.

But it should encourage faster development. Watch the SideStrafe video to find out what I mean.

Also, I have been playing the mod and the standalone for 1,000+ hours altogether, so I'm not a newbie that is ranting for attention.

Before I write this, I wanted to give credit to 'SideStrafe', a YouTuber that came up with a good thing to discuss. Why isn't development progressing with $66 million dollars already made? Look, I know that it is in alpha, but DayZ has some serious competitors. H1Z1, the new novokick game, and dozens are probably already in development from AAA developers. Pretty soon, adding fruit and new guns to the game is not gonna be enough to please the fans. I really like DayZ, but with $66 million dollars at hand and a slow development process, DayZ is gonna end up getting killed by H1Z1. Development should be progressing sooo much faster with the money it has made. This is not a rant, it is a message from a lot of fans that want this game to be great. Let me know what you guys think below. Thanks, Nathan E.

This is a great model of what the NVGs should look like. NVGs should take up the helmet, mask, and glasses spot.

I have come up with an idea for a nutrition based hunger/thirst system for DayZ. My idea is that food items would have realistic nutrition benefits/bad effects to your body. For example, if you ate something with... 2,000 Calories - You would be not hungry.22mg Sodium - You would have dipped -220 in thirst.200 Carbohydrates - You would be fully energized.And there would be 2 different categories of hunger, instead of the current 'Energy' system. Hunger - How hungry you feel. Energy - How up and moving you feel. There would also be 2 different categories of thirst, instead of the current 'Hydrating' system. Thirsty - How thirsty you feel. Hydrated - How much water your body needs.

So, I am currently writing a book looking to expand the universe on DayZ and tell the backstory of the apocalypse. If there is anybody who knows who to contact for lincensing, please state your name below. Thanks :) I'm new to this whole 'partnership & licensing' thing.

We don't what what they are. What we do know, is that they love human flesh.

Zombies are very unbalanced. I mean come on, would a rotting corpse really run faster and hit harder than a living breathing survivor? Here are some tips on how to balance out zombies: Make some fast, some slow.Make walls & buildings be useful for escaping the undead.Make hitting/shooting the head slightly more useful than body shots, but also make body shots do a good amount of damage.Make throwable items distractions.Fix the aggrovation distance! Would a zombie really smell a player from almost half a mile away? A military service dog can't do that.

I wrote this ONLY because I wanted to share what 'Alpha' means in DayZ. So, before you even slightly consider buying DayZ, think about these things: Remember, you are 90% tester, and 10% a player.Read what 'Early Access' means on Steam.Make sure you are very ready for rage inducing, keyboard smashing, headache inducing bugs. Always report bugs.

So I wrote this to help people understand what 'Alpha' means for DayZ. I know a lot of people might not like DayZ, bu that is what you signed up for, after all.

HUNGER! You have 4 stages of hunger: ENERGIZED HUNGRY - "My stomach grumbles","I'm feeling hungry","I want to eat something",”I feel hungry" VERY HUNGRY - "I'm extremely hungry","My stomach grumbled violently","I'm starving" DYING OF STARVATION - "I'm dying of starvation" Let’s start off with ‘ENERGIZED’. You are fully energized when you have reached 5,000 energy. You gain energy by eating food or drinking certain sodas. Here is a complete list of what foods/drink give off what energy: Spite/Ncola/Pipsi/Zluta Klasik Soda - 142 Energy Berries - 70 Energy Canned Peaches - 1360 Energy Canned Baked Beans - 462 Energy Kiwi - 42 Energy Fresh Banana - 151 Energy Orange - 71 Energy Zucchini - 128 Energy Potato - 284 Energy Now, let’s move on to losing energy, or ‘Starvation/Hunger’. There are 3 levels of hunger, until you die. HUNGRY = Please eat something. VERY HUNGRY = Find something to eat soon. DYING OF STARVATION = You have 20-30 minutes to find food, or ‘You are dead.’ Here is a complete list of what can decrease energy levels; Running (Full Sprint) - 20-30 Energy/ second. Jogging - 10 Energy/ second. Bleeding - 40-60 Energy/ second. Sitting/Standing Still - 2-4 Energy/ second.

You have made a very good point. I think this should be a client setting, not a server setting, because some people are against this and some people would be for this.

No, but in a zombie apocalypse set in modern day, it would be VERY helpful.

I'm wondering... why do the devs put spawns only up NE? Why not randomize them all over? Here are some towns to put the randomized spawns in: Kabanino (Very Rare)Dichina (Very Rare)Shahovka (Common)Novy Sobor (Rare)Kamaravo (Rare)Zelenogorsk (Uncommon)Gvozdno (Uncommon)Pusta (Uncommon)Berezino (Common)Coasts of Elektro & Cherno (Very Common)Olsha (Uncommon)Bashnya (Uncommon)Malinovka (Uncommon)Rify (Rare)

Wow! Didn't know there was an edit function! What magic :)

Correction, Hunter's GPS can set waypoints. But let's just say it wouldn't in game. That would be very balanced ;)

Military GPS - Left Hunter's GPS - Right As you can see, the Military GPS can set waypoints and detect heat signatures, while the hunter's GPS can only be used as an aerial map.

The images below are of the GPS' I suggested in my recent thread. :)

If NVGs are already in the game files, then it looks like it's too late to say you don't like them.

The only problem is that zombies are in an extremely buggy/unbalanced state right now, so putting headshots only on zombies than can warp through walls and break legs in 1 hit should not have any more unbalanced features. Hopefully they'll make this a server option, not a globally-forced feature. I think when you are surrounded by 10-15 zombies with only a crazy loud gun, it would be a pain to try and get headshots on all of them.

So I think I figured out why they haven't been able to add bicycles... You guys know how characters get saved across all hives? Well maybe they are trying to figure out how they are going to save bikes across every server... Just an idea...

Add the bicycle!!! If 1 modder can do it (on Youtube), then why can't a team of 30+ developers do it?
