  1. Well that was an interesting read, but it would require a lot of work to get any of this usable but DayZ is only in Alpha, so I hope Rocket takes into consideration some of this at least ;)

    Melee vs Rifle

    Almost always pick up the rifle if you are going to be staying South and in the cities, due to PvP but if you're just wandering town to town and surviving, the Hatchet might be a better choice due to it being completely silenced to zombies. (Also if you're at the top of a ladder as it's technically a gun with really short fall off range if you hit off the ladder/roof and there's a zombie at the bottom it will hit the zombie...) As any rifles you'll pick up will attract a rather large hoard quickly if you start firing in town.

    New Zombie Textures

    Definitely looking good :D

    Website back online

    *phew* well that was quick and painless, good job :D
  5. Just saying shouldn't this be in the gallery :p or DayZ general, not the off topic general ;) Wish you'd have been playing the music through the Direct comms and honking the horn while driving around as that would've been beautiful

    What a horrible bandit

    Stary sobor seems to be turning into the small town to go to for a shoot out as recently there are far more bandits around that area, or just people in general and it is fairly odd. Server hopping... My Jimmies are rustled.

    [Videos] A starting of a new series.

    Not sure what to say, it's ok I guess but it's just like the million other DayZ survival videos so :shrug:

    Firearm Safety Button

    I've heard this story happening to my friends before now. It's not a huge thing and I'm not bothered if they don't add it but it'd be nice. Just not as default on any button you can easily press by accident.

    Load Patients!

    haha, well at least he's having the item of his short-short-short... short life... :D
  11. Can I just remind everyone that this game is still in Alpha and technically shouldn't even be playing except for a very small minority. So these are the problems we will have to face until someone can find the perfect solution then get it implemented to stop the infuriating DCing and server hopping gear-whores.
  12. I would also like "alot" added http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_D_Z-D2tzi14/S8TRIo4br3I/AAAAAAAACv4/Zh7_GcMlRKo/s400/ALOT.png... Hah sorry had to. I really like this idea as crafting and more animals would be awesome stuff to help contribute to endgame :D
  13. People evacuating an area in disaster zones will barricade their houses before leaving, to better protect the property while taking the majority of their stuff. I assume a lot of the zombies come from people just starting to evacuate but failing to, as there would be more military camps set up if evacuation had gone well. Oh well it is just a video game and this is how the engine acts, whatever makes sense to you headcanon goes then.

    HACKERS

    How do you know it wasn't multiple people, maybe a clan that had set up an Ambush point? Very quick to jump the gun here but may as well say thanks for the warning

    Pending Update: Build 1.7.2

    I think that you should spawn with 1 food and 1 water (maybe a canteen but doesn't really matter) in addition to what you currently have. As being honest spawning without a weapon is only a problem for the first few times you run into a group of zombies flailing and unsure of what's happening. It focuses the start game more on surviving as a human rather than shoot-em up zombies. Plus spawning with food/water will really help out new players to understanding the components of the game quickly and easily. Plus it means when you spawn it's slightly less of a frantic run to the nearest town for the food, but I understand some players do like that theme.
