I love the idea of them reworking the blood effect, it currently looks like a red cloud falling to the ground. Would love to see blood splatter up walls when shot inside. I would also love to see a drippy blood trail when a player gets injured & runs away, this would make them feel they have to bandage up fast or lure other players to them.

Unless the game detects you are trying to ghost or spawn inside an occupied house and will automatically kick you back outside even if you left the game inside the house on a seperate server. Only way to make it fair really, that way you can ensure nobody is going to suddenly appear in the room next to you Maybe when you spawn out its classed as going to sleep

so basically what he is saying is "I dont want any distractions while i sit on the roof of a building to snipe bambis, eating and drinking is taking my attention away from my killstreak." Seriously I facepalmed after reading the first sentence of your original post. If you dont think that eating and drinking is classed as an important role for a zombie survival simulator then you best jump back into call of duty where you belong

Um, yeah, this gets a little bit rapey

freshspawn was actually our buddy in the team and he asked to be killed after he stripped down so we could collect his gear, but fine don't visit the channel again, our sense of humor is for people who can take a joke.

if the main arguement is griefing, then you get that in game anyway and i dont see the handcuff and force feed options being taken away, in fact i think it will make the game more fun and certainly beats just getting shot for the sake of it when there are more options at hand to use as alternates. and as for sex, well i was all for a rape option but i knew realistically that wouldnt happen cos there will be too many people seeking psychiatrist help

looking at the comments here, and I laugh at the crybabies here "If pooping is implemented I'm leaving the game." "Someone will abuse they system" "Bandits captured me and poo'd on my face, The internet will hear about this Wah wah wah!" Seriously I think some of you really need to go play the sims to save your fragile minds from the terror of lawless bandit dominated zombie survival.. It seems we have eating, drinking, getting hot, getting cold, getting injuries, unconsciousness and death, but oh my god, you want to add in another natural realistic body action in and now shits gone too far (yes the pun) So what if you get captured by bandits and the poo all over you..... i mean really its not like the smell rubs off on you is it? You aren't going to turn around from your monitor and look at your wife with a log on your face are you? I would be more pissed off with having my leg broken and left in a field miles from anywhere, but hey whatever is worse for you I guess. And yes Needing a poo while in a gunfight, yes that can be annoying, but then so is the same thing for soldiers fighting in real life. Its just another survival issue you would realistically have to face and think about. I tell ya, the amount of beans, cow meat and canned tuna I have eaten in one life on Dayz I do wonder where it all goes.

A funny trolling video where one of our team members (L3mming) pretends he is a bambi and sees what happens when the rest of us capture him. None of us knew it was him

I am not sure what the Dev's intentions for the wallet is yet, But I think it should be spawned on a player everytime they start a new game. Make it so that it doesn't use any item slots, it can't be dropped & it cant be stolen by other players.... BUT it can be inspected, revealing the identity of the player. This can serve 2 purposes 1. We all have an actual identity in game, so that you don't have to check someones pulse to find out their name, you can check their id instead which would seem more realistic. 2. Some players & hackers change their names whenever they want in the menu, mainly if they want to shake off a bad reputation, but I think it should be compulsary that all ID's display your unique Steam name or Game user id that is locked into your purchase of Dayz. This way, if you encounter and kill a hacker & have the fraps footage to back it up, you can then report the player to the dev team so he can get a global ban for it, but only in these instances where you have concrete proof, that you caught him hacking or with hacked gear, would make it much easier to identify players, even if they change their dayz name it won't help them. I think you can press F12 to take a steam screenshot & it would be perfect if when you inspect the ID with gamer details in the same shot as the hacked mags so it would be an open shut case of guilt

I admit, the reporting someone via their id/steam name isn't perfect & there are loopholes for trolling and abuse but at current, battleye, cheater reporting and hackers adapting their scripts and tactics is just as frustrating as it is now. There is never going to be a perfect solution that isn't going to be manipulated or someone falling victim to false guilt, its literally a 1 step forward 2 steps back no matter what happens, if you go too extreme in one direction, it sacrifices the game, makes the security too over the top & will annoy the community. If you don't do anything, the hackers win and the community will give up hope anyway and move on to other games. At least if there was a bit more hands on help from us the gaming community that can do that little bit extra to expose some of them, upload fraps recorded footage that makes it a clear, black and white open shut case & those responsible get punished and banned, then word will spread around the hacker community and at the very least, some of them will think twice about attempting it if they know all it takes is someone to kill them and find a load of duped gear and hacked mags that they claim they apparently found on another body, but decided to keep... you know for safe keeping of course. I also think the laoding screen disclaimer should be revised with text saying "Do not take hacked ammo or scripted gear, it is your responsibility as a player to leave it alone or hide the corpse with it." that'll also stop those from saying "but i didn't know, i just found it and thought it was a bug."

Here is something I have been working on for a while, Its how I think Bandits would end up looking if they lived the harsh chernarus land for over a year

by inspecting it like you can with any item in game, you dont have to take an item to do that

by putting them on a battle eye watch list or something, I'm not sure how it works, but if they haven't done anything wrong, then nothing will get detected. If its been reported that they are glitching or in possession of scripted mags, then boom Global ban next time they connect

but at the moment there is very little chance of reporting someone. "uh, I got attacked by a hacker, i fired 20 rounds and he glitched out the way, I don't know his username but he played on a server by gamer deluxe.co.uk. Can you ban him please?" Like I said, you can see who was in a server with you by checking your recently played with list in steam, not only can you have a better chance of reporting hackers and glitchers, but you can also befriend and add steam players to your friends list if you meet someone you end up getting on with. The only hard hackers to catch out are the ones that glitch out the way when you shoot them, because you wont get close enough to check their name or id, but there seems to be more than enough hackers that die with duped gear and hacked mags. "oh hello steam name Demitry1985 ."

yes i know, i kinda explained that, but your steam name always stays the same

um, you miss the point

but the current system makes it impossible to identify players who hack, having an actual way to report them officially would be a big benefit, Saying you don't agree with big brother watching over you, tells me you have something to hide. Don't know if you are aware or not, but if you jump into a dayz game with other players in, you can actually go into steam and see who you recently played with, all those people in that server will show up in your steam "recently played with" list, if one of those players is a hacker, wouldn't it be nice to know WHICH one from seeing his ID?

Developers aren't really interested in your opinion of the game or what you think of it, they have an idea of the game they want to make and they are making it their way. The point is they want our feedback on bugs, issues and problems so they can fix them, what doesn't help anyone is when people whine and complain that the bugs are ruining their pew pew pew time. Sure if you had an issue that killed you or bugged out the game, report it, but report the issue without complaining and whining that they quit or insulting the dev teams efforts, because not only is this counter productive, but they aren't interested in hearing your rants and demands.Whats worse is when people come on here whining about how a bug killed them and they don't even bother to report it to the official bug tracker thread. How is anything going to get fixed if they aren't given the right feedback? This alongside people who seem convinced they were killed by a hacker because they walked past a tower and didnt hear a gunshot, so it HAD to have been a hacker, right, right?

the point im trying to make is and I'm sure people will correct me if I'm wrong, but it was my understanding that police cars were new bonus spawn vehicles just like Heli crashes, meaning they appear randomly on the map in each server session.

can you honestly say you have run down every road, through every town on the entire map during the whole server session before restart in order to make that claim? Also done the same thing on several different servers as well?

man are people still complaining about this development build we paid to beta test? Seriously its getting old. If I was Dean I would lock down all the servers, stop the public using it and allow a select few to test it while they develop it in peace, just to shut some of you whining man children up, then you would have to wait until the game does get released a year or two from now just to make you happy so you then have your Completed bug free game to enjoy. The one thing that really annoys me is inpatient people who AGREED to test an alpha build that isn't even an actual game, and start throwing their toys out their pram, and expecting unrealistic results NOW. Then you get the idiots that accuse bohemia of robbing you because they aren't working fast enough for you. Try actually looking into game development, and educate yourself on how the actual process works, its not 5 people sitting in a room all doing bug fixing. You have 3d modellers, people who convert and add textures, making sure the UVW co ordinates match up fine, you have programmers, coders, animaters, script writers and yes bug fixers. All these people have a lot on their plate right now and they don't take kindly to their hard work getting slammed by the inpatient kids that misunderstood what they signed up for when they agreed to the terms and conditions. Alternatively try handing in a CV at bohemia so you can actually contribute to the project if you think you can do better and move this project along any faster. If not then shut up, bug report where needed and stop whining.

1. zombie dead bodies seem to stay in game longer before they vanish which is interesting when you come to a town and find corpses lying around, it gives you the impression that you are folloing in someones footsteps 2. Random doors opened/closed. Again this is a GOOD one. Now you have no idea if someone has looted a building or not and you can't judge a town by the doors being all closed making it even more tense than before 3. not sure if it was a bug my end as i didn't see this issue raised in the Changelog, but now if you want to use a sewing kit on damaged clothes you actually have to remove the damaged item first. It said that it fixed my clothes when i was wearing them, but the condition never changed until i took them off first

I have 2 seperate hard drives and i have the stable on one and im installing experimental on my other one. If I play on the experimental server is it going to affect my character and position when i come back to play on the stable version or will it create a whole new character? Reason I ask this is because I don't want the experimental character to move away from where i am in the stable version, and if i pick up an experimental item I imagine that would cause issues on stable

you mean the volumetric light coming through the windows?

i use a drive caddy so i can switch C drives which are seperate operating systems like swapping cds
