This is going to get many negative reactions, especialy from bang bang CoD kids I am sure, but I was thinking how to make death a bit more of a threat. Since we cant give everyone one life only, the next best option would be a deathtimer. Lets say you get shot, killed by a Zombie or drop to your dead, meaning your life ends by any means, You get a 10 minute timer before you can respawn. I know it sounds harsh, but it would stop fresh spawned players from just Rambo attack full geared players because "I have nothing to lose anyway" (and dont tell me that doesnt happen, I cant count how often a Bambie on the coast just jumped me while I had a freaking gun pulled out...) and even full geared players from just Rabo around because "I will just recover my stuff when I die..." 10 minutes Death timer and a 10 minute timer until a dead Body despawns. No more "I am too far from Airfield, I will just kill myself"; "I attack this geared player, best case Scenario I get his stuff, worst case I spawn a second later", "Our group attack, when we win we cam the corpses and everyone just gets their stuff back.

push cause its still a mess

Well, if you need it to feel good, do it. Guess you dont get alot of success otherwise in your life.

I bought the Standalone Version a while back, but for the last... I think 5 month, I didnt play, cause there was just not enough to do yet, since the game is just Alpha and stuff... So, short version, what changed? Do we have vehicles now? What about tents/base building? Do Zoombies still walk through walls? Stuff... Is it worth playing now, or should I wait some more?

Yeah you are, this is not CoD... If you just want to run around, bambambam shoot people, go play CoD...

Wow thats alot of changes...

THIS IS JUST A LITTLE GAG, STOP GOING CRAZY ABOUT "ITS ONLY ALPHA SHUT UP!!!!"

Yeah, some people here really got their humor PKed^^

I cant blame them... Charging 20 Bucks for a game thats basicly a walking simulator is kinda rough^^ I am sure alot of people expected more. I mean, I bought it because I belive the game has great potential, but alot of people have bought it, expecting the DayZ they heard so much about. And I can understand that they have been really disapointed.

Keep cool. I was just watching, listening to this conversation and the first thing that shot through my head was "DayZ SA!", so I though "Why not post it, its a laugh..."

Lets simply collect some Ideas what kind of food you could find in DayZ. I mean we culd find anything since we mysteriously find Vegetables that are still perfectly fine, but lets be more realistic and look for food that can be eaten even after 2 years or more and it should be realistic to find them in the average household. - First Idea is honey. Honey can be eaten like forever. - chocolate bars are also an Idea. After a while they taste bad, but can still be eaten. - And since we find military equipment, why not also military food? I mean when I had my time at the Bundeswehr, the marmelade in some packs was older than I was^^ This stuff could be located at the military camp or the airfield. - And what about this Ramen stuff, you know this dried noodle stuff you cook with water? As long as the wrapping is not broken, this stuff can be eaten even years after it has been bought. - Zwieback! If you keep it dry, you can buy it as a teenager to eat it when you hit your 80s...

Seriously, its not even realistic, you just turn of all the light. Where on earth do you find such pitch black nights when you stay in open fields? Even when you are in an area with no artifical lights around, you have the moon, you have stars... makes me wonder if the guys who made it ever went out at night. Yes there is less light but there is no no light at all... Nights in DayZ feel like you went into a deep cave or someone just threw a blanket over you...

Since there are alot of players running around who are just assholes, I decided to be the good guy in the game. How? I only loot food, water and rags/bandages, dress peacefull (no military stuff, mostly coat) and run around looking for players. Micro is always on and I have a song on my lips, so people know I mean no trouble (people who sing are good people :) ) No range weapons, only an axe to kill zombies. And when I meet someone, I just ask if they need some food/water/bandages. Actually its a nice way to play, had some really nice encounters while doing it... yeah still got shot on sight, but who cares, since you dont lose anything. Food and water are no rare loot, you have no rare weapon or ammo to lose. Its nice to see that some people are hapy to see a player who not only doesnt shoot them on sight but also has some food and water for them :)

Then lets say you have 10 minutes to claim the storage as yours

What about this: Once the Avatar who build the storage dies, said storage is tranfered to a random location in the woods.

on experimental they changed it, you actually have to stop and go through an animation, but you get 5% on the big bottle instead of 1% (I think its more on the small bottles, but could be wrong)

Just be happy that you can fill your water bottles...

I just robbed someone... With a rifle... and not one bullet xD Just pointed the gun and shouted really serious "DOWN TO THE GROUND! GET ON THE GROUND!" The guy got down, I aimed for his head "drop your backpack and I let you live!" he dropped the backpack, I took it and went away, saying "get up while I still see you and I shoot!" So dude... you got robbed by a Bambi who found a rifle with no bullet xD Who needs ammo if you have a serious and dangerous voice

Hard to say since I cant look in the inventory or minds of others.

Thats basicly like saying "You have to choise to use cheats, so stop complaining about cheaters!" And I know its not a cheat, but you cant say "dont use it" cause it gives people who use it a big advantage over people who dont use it, so you have no choise, cause you cripple yourself if you dont use it while others can do it

Everything you just listed works in real life. If in real life you look through a scope, you have increased view, if you fire a gun you kill if you use a light source, you can see in the dark. But when you look at a wall you cant look over it. Plus: You can spot snipers. You can see people have guns LIght in the dark makes you a big target. You cant see people abusing 3rd person. All 3 things you have listed have COUNTERPLAY! Abusing 3rd person has no counter play at all. 0! Nichts! Nada!

Yeah, the mod is good too, but I think just locking everyone in First person is easier. Hmmm... would the mod also solve the wall glitching problem? like you wouldnt be able to see people when you look through walls or hide in the ground? Cause that would be awesome.

Nah, its just another 3rd person abuse. Look at people while being 100% save

Its a different thing at the airfield, not everyone doing it there is doing it regular. I look through walls at the airfield prison, cause sadly its the only way to know that noone witll suddendly raise out of the ground behind you and shoot you.
