    Compass?

    I used the compass on the off occassion, usually when making long hikes and I needed to orientate to an exact position on the map.

    Surrender

    Damn man, you should have ran whilst he wasn't looking.

    Dayz Standalone - Kamyshovo Massacre 1/2

    Good teamwork from everybody and communications. And especially patience.

    Overlooked spot?

    I always check that BMP. Usually find 2 SKS's and Gorka Clothing.

    Steam Achievements concept

    I believe they should be steam counted and designed to encourage players to try out certain features of the game. They should be the last feature implemented though, so everyone starts out on the same level. My ideas: Marksman - Achieve a headshot on a survivor from more than 300m away. No Place Like Home - Pitch a tent. Here's Johnny! - Kill a survivor with a firefighter's axe. Social Darwinism - Kill a survivor and take an item from his corpse. Shish Kebob - Kill a survivor with a rifle's bayonet. The Beacon - Light an Improvised Torch. The Saviour - Bandage a wounded survivor. Hannibal Lecter - Consume a Human Steak. The Red Guard - Kill a survivor with a Mosin 91/30. Robin Hood - Kill a survivor with a bow. John Wayne - Kill a survivor with a Repeater. The Alaskan - Kill a survivor with Winchester Model 70. The Soldier - Kill a survivor with an M4A1. The Terrorist - Kill a survivor with an AKM. The SWAT - Kill a survivor with an MP5-K. The Boomstick - Kill a survivor with a Shotgun. You Feelin' Lucky? - Kill a survivor with a Magnum. The Assassin - Kill a survivor with a derringer. The Peashooter - Kill a survivor with a .22. Mike Tyson - Knock a survivor out with your fists. Oops! - Give a survivor a blood transfusion with incompatible blood types. The Better Man - Refrain from killing a survivor you knocked out. The Angel - Revive an unconscious survivor. The Hostage - Restrain a survivor. Fireworks - Explode a fuel browser. Watch Your Step - Kill a survivor with a landmine. Walk It Off - Break a survivor's legs. Broom Broom! - Get in a vehicle. Go Fish - Catch a fish with a rod. Wrong End of The Food Chain - Kill a predator. The Knockout Game - Knock out a survivor with a stun baton. Street Sweeper - Kill 100 zombies. The Mechanic - Fix a vehicle part. Yoink! - Steal an item from another survivor's tent. The Chef - Cook raw meat. I will add to this when I think of more!

    "Not in my Town" [11:32]

    Nicely done, shame you couldn't save him in time. :(

    Revert the ammo can back to 8 squares for ammo

    That defeats the whole purpose of carrying ammo cans...

    Less Military. More Apocalyptic. (Clothing)

    New backpack - drag bag. Does nothing except allows you to stash 1-2 primary weapons inside with no actual item slots for anything else. http://www.evike.com/products/35019/
  9. Day Z has a natural levelling up/progress system called going west. But the beauty is that the terrain allows for unique circumstances where the lowest tier players can win against better equipped. The shotguns, blaze, SKS and mosins can still easily beat M4s, AUGs and AKs so long as you position right and can aim. It facilitates all play styles.

    Duct tape mouths

    I fully agree with this idea and like it, but have a better system for it. You right click on duct tape to form a gag (using 50% of tape) - but you can't duct tape the mouth of someone wearing a balaclava or mask as the gag is a clothing item in this spot. Players restrained obviously can't access their inventory to remove the gag. A ball gag and other bondage equipment as lootable items would be great for kidnapping people, as would using rope to hogtie someone unconscious or prone, who can then be carried in your hands!

    How to make .22 long-range sniping impossible/unviable?

    A .22 Long Rifle projectile has a maximum range of 1500m. It can certainly be fired accurately out to 400m and still be lethal. The projectile will just fly slow so it'll be damn impossible to snipe a player with a .22 at long range unless they're dead still and the zeroing is perfect.

    Animal Zeds

    Undead predators or elk would be interesting, but a small percentage so as not to effect hunting.
  13. P90 as heli crash only SMG and Five-Seven as military semi auto pistol? Basically the P90 would be ultimate end game SMG, with the best range, largest magazine capacity (only 50 round mags though,) high firing rate and moderate damage, with good penetrations on vehicles and armour. Not sure on attachments for it though, besides pistol suppressor and some reflex sight.

    Youtube Kill Request Thread

    Simple forum game thread to bring out creativity: YOUTUBE KILL REQUEST THREAD Rules: I will post a kill request to start, and one of you guys needs to carry out the kill and record it, and post it here. You then can make a request of your own for someone else to carry it out, record it and post here, who will make another request and so on. Each successful request carried out (be realistic with requests) earns you one point, and I will keep score on original post. So to start, my first request is: BEAT A PLAYER TO DEATH WITH A BOOK WHILST RECITING POETRY

    Soft skill - Crafting and re-using ammo.

    Reloading should be possible if you find a press (same size as small tent and placed as a base addon) powder (small 1x3 item,) and an empty inventory slot where used rounds could collect. You could then stack the ones you catch like normal ammo, place them in the press with the powder, and use scroll menu to press. Done. And please no to skills. You don't live long enough to level up.

    Survival Suggestions

    Series of survival suggestions here. Starting with: Solar Still: A solar still is an improvised method of generating water in a survival scenario. It is built first by digging a pit in open sunlight (use shovel, farming hoe or a pick) and filling it with lush green foliage (green leaves and grass could be used) and placing an empty water container inside to collect water (bottle, canteen or empty can.) A plastic sheet (a say 1x2 item) is placed over the pit and a small weight (stone, knife, magazine etc) added to the sheet above the container. Over time (for gameplay purposes say 5 minutes) the water inside the leaves and grass evaporates from the heat and will collect in the container which can later be consumed and reused, without needing purification. Nice camp improvement you could build, or build on the go if you can't find water. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=10k-DPcLrHU Using Glass Lens To Start Fire: Simple. Build a fireplace in the sunlight, place a rifle scope with magnification (PU, ACOG, PSO1, LRS, Hunting etc) in your hands (or magnifying glass) and use focused sunlight to start a fire instead of matches. Gun Trap: Simple trap designed to warn and ward off intruders. Requires rope, sticks , and a loaded gun. A pile of sticks with rope are used to build up a gunrack, with the gun facing a desired direction. Another lot of sticks are used with rope and rope is run between as a trip wire. Anyone who touches the rope (the sticks must be within 5m apart to anchor) will pull the trigger which the rope is tied to and the gun will fire one shot (or successive shots if it's fully automatic with a magazine and the victim stands near the rope without moving) in the direction of the victim. Flare guns will fire a flare into the air which can be used to warn of the player's presence for others. Grenades may also be used and will unpin the grenade if activated, which explodes shortly afterwards. Smoke Signals: Fairly simple. Put green foliage/grass into a fireplace and set it alight. It will generate a large amount of smoke/steam rising into the air as a signal to survivors for 30 seconds. Live Bait: Live bait is a way to draw predators (wolves, foxes, bears, zombies etc) to a killing field where they can be successfully hunted. It requires rope, sticks, a knife, and live prey (handcuffed survivor, goat, rabbit or lamb.) First the survivor is caught and handcuffed, or animal caught alive with rope. Whilst handcuffed the knife is used to cause an incision, with the blood smeared and the panicked cries of pain left audible. The scent and panic will cause all predators within 1.5km to come investigate and begin attacking the sacrifice where they can be killed. Rabbit Whistle: Similar concept but less sadistic. Place whistle in your hands and blow to make a rabbit in distress sound. All predators within 1.5km will converge and attack you. Heat Beads: A bag of heat beads when poured into a fire cause it to burn until the server restarts. Pretty simple. Foxhole: Requires a shovel. Simply dig a foxhole into the ground (away from stones) with a shovel, facing the direction you want the firing port dug. A deep pit surrounded with a birm will be dug at adult human height in depth with a firing port to shoot through will be dug, the rear of the pit sloped to allow you to walk jn and out. Functions as a defensive position for campers. Netting and foliage/grass may be added to form a camo net to help conceal it, and the birm provides cover from incoming small arms fire. Stash: Requires netting, green/foliage and a shovel. Dig a stash in the ground and add the camo net to build a stash capable of holding a primary weapon with some extra slots for ammo (or simply add other equipment to hide inside.) Smaller alternative to tents. Hope you like these, add your thoughts!

    Survival Suggestions

    Heat beads are commercially available coals, often used in barbeques. Its literally a bag of coal.

    Basic Basebuilding system

    Chainsaws are rare, a bitch to lug around and run out of fuel very quickly. Not many people have them.

    Basic Basebuilding system

    Dude, a chainsaw should be able to break that shit in seconds, like 3 hits.

    Exploding Ammunition

    You can already do this. You can put ammunition in fires and after about 30 seconds they cook off and start firing. You can also throw gas canisters inside to make an explosion strong enough to destroy a truck or camp, or kill off a visitor take out a chef cooking on the fire when he isn't looking.

    New TENT

    In Australia we have a similar form of sheet called a Hootchie. Very useful. Would be good to conceal.

    Loot; A highly debated topic.

    Your problem is that you're trying to find loot in Cherno and Balota... Hang around in the north and center. I dig up shitloads of equipment in Rogovo and Pogorevka for example.

    5.56 Bolt action rifle (Remington 700)

    CR527 doesn't have built in magazines.

    ChDKZ Rebels, Terrorist and criminal hideouts.

    I like it. Adds more story to the game.

    5.56 Bolt action rifle (Remington 700)

    I would love an M&P15 as a civilian semi auto that uses M4 mags with 10 round mags being civilian available. And the M16A4 as a chopper crash gun like M4 but more accurate and no full auto, burst only. But the R700 in .223 would be a great sniper gun and is very common globally.
