I know this has been discussed already. But it's of such great importance, and almost like game breaking if this is not implemented, i thought to make a poll for it. So please, you daring and brave adventurers, give your opinion about the Bananas!

Hmmm, where are the tomatos?

Todays stable:

Experimental Branch:

What is NEWP anyway? Urban dictionary describes this as either a shorting for a Fascism group, or a Bulgarian variant of Newbie, because they cannot pronounce English correctly... Or perhaps: newp New Poster-A stupid word made up by some kid on the internet. It was fashioned after the phrase n00b(newbie) was no longer cool.

If i have to stare at my screen, being chanied to a fence, i'd might as well grab a phonebook and start reading. Oh the joy! I'd uninstall DayZ right away, if what you say is true. I'm glad it isn't. And you seriously do not think they will implement this, do you? It's nothing more than just griefing someone else. If that's you thing, fine. But don't bother me with it, please? btw, it's not about being scared. it's just a game, and tbh there's little that i get scared about. But it's about doing a game for fun. Not only for you, but for everyone. Bullying/griefing is generally no fun. Not even for the one doing it, unless they have lack of humane values. Anyway, I enjoy this game, which i play together with my brother. But if it would turn out to be some griefing fest, i would simply hit the uninstall button. IRL there's assholes enough already. In a game i play for fun, i could do without.

What about if I handcuff you people to a tree, and leave you there? You love staring at yourself not being able to move? Does that make fun gameplay? Or do you like it, thinking this will not happen to yourself? Although it may sound as fun, i don't think you would like to tied up not able to move or do anything about it. I sure as hell do not.

Yes, sweeped for bugs and it got horsepower!

Today's stable:

Very good idea, i like this.

You didn't read my post then, did you The general idea is, as far as i think this game is about, that you are handed a survival sandbox with certain mechanics to facilitate just that. That is the charm of this game, the freedom to do what you want, without being sent from A to B to follow certain quests or missions. Building our own story. However, after reading your post again, i must admit i misread your intention. Maybe you should not had put down your first line, because i think that throws most people of. Actually a lot of ideas you mentioned would be a nice addition, just as a mechanic to gather and put stuff together. Which of course, like you said, is already in game. And will be added, like gathering cooking stuff to make food. It's just that even the word missions or quests just gives us (i assume, at least me) a bad taste in the mouth, after so many games/mmo's where you are send to kill mob Y 20 times, and bring package X from A to B, or escort mob Z from here to there. Even have a big pointer on screen where you should go. Don't know about you, but i'm sick of that mindless crap. So, if you post it again, and do not label it as a "mission", but more like an environmental/survival mechanic or world interactivity, where you need to gather specific stuff, or activate certain objects in world to get specific stuff, or get things working (how about lights in the to be added stadium? =))... then it would be more welcomed... i would think. Given that you meant that there is no mission tracker, no achievements or whatever. Then i'm all for it. :)

Seems like a good idea indeed. Yeah... good suggestion sir!

Because it's fun. Not sure about you, but having a laugh sometimes is fun. And surprise! I play games for fun.

Aha... Now this makes it clear. I've visited the air fields the last week quite often, and have seen just one guy in the traffic control who made a quick exit out of the game. But never encountered this. Didn't knew about it as well. I'm sure they will fix this, if you make it clear what you mean! I develop software as well, and it's very frustrating if people shout like: It's not working, please fix it! But... what is not working, and when, what did you do, where exactly?..... Without sufficient information to reproduce the error/bug, it's impossible to do something about it.

Seriously? No, I mean... Are you serious? I've never seen "invisible prison wall jumper guys"... But then again, they are invisible. Hmmmmm. Yeah... they should seriously fix that. Or them. Or both. Maybe put up a sign at the prison: Do no jump!

Seriously... I would write something more comprehensive, if you want something to be fixed. I've played DayZ quite a bit, but seriously have no idea what you seriously are on about. I'm quite serious as well. Seriously...

ok, since you asked, here is today's stable:

Awww, you sound like you're a bit depressed... You want a cookie? Btw... I got a dayz console port already, look:

Here's already a sneak preview of the stable:

There's tons of games with go here and there, and do this and that. Even point out the shit on the map for you and big markers on the screen, so you can go as a mindless automaton and do it. Thanks, but no. I think adding that kind of mechanic to this game will just ruin it. However, adding stuff that would make sense to the world, like gathering stuff to get generators working.. or that power station someone mentioned; good idea. Possibly build traps, like electrified fences, or the like... That would be a good addition. But it should not be clear and visible written down for you. You would have to figure it out, use your brain. And NPC's that just stand around? No thanks. Adding specific missions (or quests) would take away the raw sandbox feeling, which is just the thing to set Dayz apart from other games. It becomes repetitive, no matter how much iterations. By adding enough interactive stuff, and environmental things it would create a playground for players to make their own missions on the fly.

Marijuana - This should make your reaction time 10 times slower, and slowly lower your IQ by 10 points per session until you're a vegatable Speed - This will make your teeth fall out Cocaïne - This will give you random heart attacks Heroin - Will slowly turn you into a zombie Alcohol - Will blur your vision, it slows you down, turning rate is irregular and makes you say uncontrollable uncomprehensive things Ecstasy - Will prevent you from shooting anyone. Will make you say you love anyone you come across and see flying camels on a regular basis

Yeah, let's add clubs as well, with half naked dancers and very loud techno music. Because that would be as logical as having cocaïne in a zombie apocalypse. Perhaps add pink flying elephants, and groovy purple camels, that dance around in elektro. I'm all for realism, you see.

I feel it's like a year away from this game being finished, so to base anything on the current build is too early. Nevertheless i tend to agree ít's never to early to point some things out. I'm sure it will pan out just fine. If anything, just look at Arma 3, which is a fantastic game. The only thing i really would like to see is this:
