For berries and especially worms it would be great if we could have some glass jars to put them in. Obviously not final but currently worms take up a ridiculous amount of space and just leaving them to roam around your backpack is equally ridiculous so we need a container for them. Would be good for berries too since they also take up a strange amount of space and would probably get squashed by your other items. Perhaps you could put matches in them too for a waterproof container although if you can put like 1000 matches in one it would be a bit overpowered as an item, maybe it could be really rare considering like every window is smashed maybe Chernaus hates glass. Perhaps we could make jams out of berries when/if we can make bread in future.

Why did they get off and leave their guns? Unless Chernaus was populated by brain damaged hunters that wouldn't happen, certainly not enough to warrant some sort of spawn in every deer stand much less good loot. For hunting gear they should just add some kind of hunters cabin building, the kind of store you'd go to for clothing, fishing rods etc and that gives us another spot for fish hooks which are madly rare. True but current loot spawns aren't the final loot spawns. If there's any good loot in them you can guarantee they'll all be occupied by people camping and waiting for people to come look, it would be better if they were just suitable for hunting rather than being a target zone for douchebags. Being a good place to find animals to eat is good enough, especially when canned food gets more scarce we're going to need it, not hunting gear.

I would prefer nothing spawned there because why should it be there? Who would leave hunting gear or even guns there? If it was outside a house perhaps but a random one on top of a hill...what kind of idiot would leave weapons there for anyone to find. They should just make it have a higher chance to spot some deer around them, it's rather inelegant to just run around the forest until you see one realistically they'd hear you coming and probably be gone or leaving before you noticed them. Or if you walked...well that would just take too long. So a higher deer and possibly other animal spawn rate would do, perhaps as a downside a higher wolf spawn rate too. Gear wise at best, hats maybe. No hunter would leave without their gun, maybe they saw a zombie and just didn't take their hat.

How hard is the game to play with a controller? When it lets you anyway... I find keyboard and mouse just...really boring. A controller makes me feel involved, I can sit forward on my bed when things get intense and focus. Is it awkward or does it work fine? Anyway to be on topic I hope they've only temporarily removed it because I'd love to try it, don't see why they should remove it forever maybe they're tweaking it?

Yeah I liked the idea of a museum too, they could have some sort of upper class city that would be cool, it could be like the business centre of Chernaus with unique shop buildings, maybe even a mall so we can re-enact scenes from Night of the Living Dead :lol: I know there's...I forget the name, the place with the crashed plane but it's pretty bland right now it's just mostly already existing buildings put together. Somewhere more fresh looking would be cool to explore, complete with working water fountains and stuff. A place where it looks like people lived recently anyway.

I hope it's basically just another Mosin instead of a long range Sporter... Although it could be funny to use a 30 round mag and rain down all 30 pellets on someone 1000m away. It could be a good hunting weapon, I guess. Instead of using your heavy ammo just shoot deer right in the head(when they're not one shot kill anyway) I'd rather it just be another Mosin skin though just for some variety we have two automatic rifles now two bolt actions would be great.

I think they should make an intact one in the water, have a bridge out to it. So that if you want to go in and look for loot, you have to walk down a bridge right in the open...huge risk, potentially high reward. Or no reward as it's someone's base and they shoot you :D

Yeah I recently met a group of people and one even had a gun, he didn't shoot though. Even though something messed up and I took my gun out instead of waving. It was awesome. However his friend smashed me over the back of the head with an axe... I ran away a bit, took my Mosin out and shot her in the stomach at least but she didn't die on the spot >.> Anyway it's so refreshing when you meet someone that doesn't instantly try to kill you. I like to give them a bandage or something and go on my way. Also don't get why people are so unfriendly towards others without headsets...

Well that too but uncharted islands to me have more exploration value, it would be more fun to explore places that are hard to get to rather than a 10-20 minute run from the coast. Inland is where people go when they're getting or are geared up so when they put significantly cool places there they'll be death traps. Which actually sounds good maybe we could go in Berenzino without getting shot at within minutes/seconds...

Yeah and that's the problem with the people they're too used to games where they're supposed to kill people so they assume that's what DayZ is as someone else said a game to hunt players which is far from the truth. Hopefully they make it hard in the end, to the point where when you see some other survivor it's a case of HOLY SHIT SOMEONE ELSE TEAM UP, TEAM UP OR WE DIE. I doubt it though, can you imagine the uproar if they practically removed guns and ammo from the game in terms or rarity and made it harder? All the hard-to-the-core badazz killaz would never shut up and they'd have to change it since that's most of the players...

They wouldn't necessarily get along but if you thought you were the last man alive and you saw a group of clearly alive people, would you shoot them? Not unless you're an idiot. But that's what people do in this game, and it is a game yes but why can't people play it like it's real? That's the whole point of it, to be as real as possible. Nobody in the DayZ world in reality would sit on top of a hill and snipe people randomly there is no 30 second respawn and you'd piss your pants the second someone shot back.

Not if it was overrun to the point where you need a group of people with guns to clear it. More ships would be awesome I recently explored an island that had a sunken ship on the side. Nothing. Not even a hat. At least give us some novelty items like a pirate hat for exploring the land they've created. Then you could see another fellow explorer and be like PIRATE BRO'S FOREVER BRO.

How about not making the game community look like dicks so that people actually want to buy it? Right now people veer off getting it because it's buggy as hell. But when it's not? Who wants to play with a bunch of a-holes that don't know how to have any fun or at least act like survivors would, build a town and stuff.

Why kill them then? It's not like it benefits you, maybe you don't have much or any morphine and they do but you just shot them so now it's ruined and even if it isn't you probably can't take all their stuff. But if you paired up you have double the storage space, a wingman, a human shield and/or someone who will carry the medical/food supplies while you be a war god with all the ammo and guns ever.

I did since that's what tends to happen, it's not a victory if the other person didn't know you were there or had no hostile intentions, it's douchery. Justifying it by calling it winning is retarded, there is no scoreboard it's not winning it's being a dick. When someone tries to kill you it becomes a battle and when you win that battle, that is a victory. Which is why I warn people of my presence when they're heading to my location, they know they're in my territory and if they have a gun out the battle is on.

Yeah if we eventually can milk cows we could keep some banana in jars and have crunchin crisps with some nice slices of banana in it, mmm. Guilty pleasure of a post apocalyptic land.

Well, if they don't wave A) They're disreputable fools B) They're just about to pull a gun out when you walk past C) They're not a bro D) God help them they just don't know how

If shooting someone who was just calmly exploring the land and didn't notice you is a "victory" then I laugh at that notion. Victory is defeating an opponent, not an unaware sucker someone who knows you're out there and is hunting you as much as you are hunting him(preferably not watching you over a wall) With victory comes honour. With shooting people in the back for little to no reason comes cowardliness. Beating Muhammad Ali in a fist fight is a victory, pressing the button on an electric chair is a mere action same with a trigger you're not winning metal is doing all the hard work for you. I kill players who don't wave back at me, they are scum.

Yeah that's why I thought of jars :P They could be used for water too but not as much as water bottle, to be fair. Perhaps when the inventory system is a bit more complex you could put worms and berries in specific pockets where they'd be safe and thus carry more per pocket slot but I think jars would be better and make more sense, they should be the ultimate small object storage item. Maybe you could put seeds in them too when we can farm.

Or give people nice jams. Nice poisonous jams...ahaha ahahaha HA HA HA HAAAAA! Really though it would simplify a lot of item storage issues such as worms I don't know anyone who fishes who doesn't use a jar of some sort to hold them.

Yeah I hope this becomes a reality, empty soda cans being around would be cool too if you see one on a road then obviously someone was there recently, it would be a nice touch. Better than them magically disappearing anyway. They could have quite a few uses really but I think for water is necessary. You just shouldn't be able to have them as water containers in your bag as obviously it would spill everywhere.

So recently I took a trip to an island and got soaking wet in the water, OH NO well not really since that doesn't do anything yet but presumably being soaked will mean you can get a cold or hypothermia etc, which would suck. So what about a plastic sheet or a bag that you can put your gear in and tie to yourself to keep it dry while you swim? There are plenty of things you don't want to get wet in the game, matches, bandages/rags etc etc so I think it would be a good addition, not sure what other uses it has people are welcome to suggest. The islands and any more they add will probably become popular locations for clans once boats are introduced so we need a way to swim over and be sneaky without being debilitated by soaking gear or just for sheer exploration value.

Considering they look metallic and would need to be to protect from bullets I would say they probably are. And having a whole bag full with stuff inside them would be very heavy, a plastic sheet stops so much unnecessary weight being needed.

Or at least the unfinished island.(big pictures, to lazy to edit them open spoilers at your own peril) I was on a YOLO life to check out this island by swimming there but it turns out my guy has survived for hours even in the cold sea, who would have guessed. Note: You can stand on that rock First impressions, water is wet, sunken shit...ship holds no treasure, sad face. Neat house for a base perhaps. The lonely tree on a hill with graves in front of it...what's that I'm holding? I NEEDED THE WOOD DON'T JUDGE ME I AM A SURVIVOR Explored a small port village place, crazy zombie fools attacked me, this island...is not dead. An entirely pointless climb up a lighthouse this uncivilized place didn't even have a gun up there, madness. At first glance, this abandoned boathouse had nothing. More zombies, didn't want to use up any more bandages so I just ran. So far away. I just ran. Good bye mostly empty island. Water is wet. So the island was fairly empty, not an animal in sight all there really was was a pair of pants and a hat and some sardines in a house I think. But the island itself is cool, I hope they add a few more buildings an axe and pickaxe spawn and a rope spawn plus some animals, it would be an awesome place to have a base. Just have a survivor island type thing, I doubt anyone would ever show up everyone can have their war while you fish peacefully off the shore.

Yeah that's the main problem my journey inspired me to make http://forums.dayzgame.com/index.php?/topic/201207-waterproof-coversbags-for-your-gear/ If they added that it would be great, your own slice of paradise kind of. With any luck they do add some exploration value to the landscape, besides loot drops(though those too) I liked the grave site with the tree on the hill that was a nice touch the rest of the places in the game currently feel like they've just copied and pasted buildings in a different set up to other villages but the grave thing felt more like someone designed it, if that makes sense. Giving Chernaus some personality would make the game so much better.
