there is already a pop called Green River, so green mountain would make people confuse the 2. also would make people get confused between pop and location.

support. its a good idea, I wouldn't use it for surrendering (I do not surrender.) but I would definently paint it or something and use it to mark bases, certain locations, etc. good idea.

This happened to me too when I first downloaded the game, and I figured out how to fix it. Go to main menu of Dayz, hit configure (4th option down I think) then hit video (of the 4 buttons at bottom of window its top left) then hit the button in top left corner again (forget what its called) and change resolution (the top option of the 3) and change it to your monitors maximum resolution (whatever is 2nd to bottom should be max, because windowed is on very bottom.) Hope I helped, good luck fixing it!

Ha, its a mask...and its in your face...I see what you did there :) . Anyway I agree with most people here, if you want custom hats and what not this isn't the game to play, this is zombie survival not a fashion show.

Whats wrong with your resolution? I can probably help.

well, theres a problem with it. For a guy in your situation, your right this would be perfect. But if they did this, Me and my Dad, who share a steam account (I was to lazy to make a new one) he could play on the desktop and I could be on my laptop. We would be getting a free copy out of it. So sorry, but it most likely wont come.

Good idea, I suggested a while ago that they add camo hunter clothing or something. Also like the hair idea, would allow more character customization and everyones character would be unique. They should just add that you can change your hair color and have 3 or 4 different hair-does to choose from. Guys and girls both, as a guy I get sick of the normal close-cut hair that the male character has, so im sure you get sick of the tied up bun too. Again, good idea.

I think that instead of having a melee slot and a gun slot on your back simply have 2 (or more) slots that can be used as we wish. whether that be 2 guns, 2 melee weapons, or 1 and 1. Also maybe add a 3rd slot for non-weapon items, such as ashwood stick or fishing pole (possibly include bow in this category as well). Guns are useful, but I still like to have a fire axe to stay silent and also to cut trees down.

I cant really give a story with my mic, as its messed up atm. Also, once the video is made can you give me the link so I can see it? thanks, and good luck with your vid!

Great idea and its mostly true, but...theres no ear protection currently in dayz, so that would have to be implemented too.

its all fun and games until 1 shot goes off.

How come nothing this funny happens to me

I agree, I also think that instead of having a melee slot and a gun slot on your back simply have 2 (or more) slots that can be used as we wish. whether that be 2 guns, 2 melee weapons, or 1 and 1. Also maybe add a 3rd slot for non-weapon items, such as ashwood stick or fishing pole (possibly include bow in this category as well). If we had guns able to be used as melee weapons, also include that a bayonet would cause it to do more damage then just blunt trauma whacking somebody. I would pistol-whip so many people if this was included.

military bases, airfields, other players :P , really an sks is fine that's what I have atm ive never found an akm and ive only found m4's at military bases or other players.

Its not from a random person, that's what the devs said they are expecting. Assuming beta will only take about a month or so, they said they expect beta by the end of 2014 to early 2015.

Good to hear, just so you know the standalone is expected to be completed late 2014 to early 2015, so its already getting remotely close.

I agree with you, and attempt to play with a survival mindset. I will only kill another player if A: they have spotted me or B: I attempt communications and feel threatened or I watch them kill another player or something of the sort. I think that once the number of zombies is increased dramatically, and environmental factors are added, lots more players will play with a survival frame of mind. I have made multiple suggestions on these forums, and all of them relate back to the fact that I want this game to be a realistic zombie survival game. As I said, once more zombies and animals environmental factors are added there will be much more survival, not just killing on sight.

I didn't read the whole list, however I agree with you. I know many of the things you said will be implemented eventually into the standalone, idk about continued mod updates though. I think they r done updating it. The standalone will be way more advanced eventually. I suggest that if you want a true survival experience, wait until the standalone has added more zombies and such and then buy it.

Look at the dev posts on twitter/reddit, or even on these forums, they will say when updates are expected. Also, they usually do about 1 big update a month, and the most recent exp update was like 2 days ago. So it may be a while still.

At this current moment, the mod is still more advanced with vehicles and such. However, it being a mod, its harder to run and is less stable. It also is no longer being updated with new features, unless you get player-made mods for the mod (mod-caption :P ) The standalone is at the moment still a bit behind the mod, but in the end will have tons more features and is much easier to run, has slightly better graphics, and is more stable and secure. It is still being updated weekly by the devs. My personal suggestion is to get the standalone, as it will eventually be far better then the mod. However, after reading what I have said above the choice is obviously yours. :)

Well of course its not wrong, and I like the idea too. but the number of cityboys who play this game probably greatly outnumber the hunters. You know how many complaints there would be on here and everywhere else about it. I hope all of his ideas get implemented, I just don't think it will happen. It would definently make people play differently if they could go out in the woods and live off the land, which has been talked about multiple times by the devs and such, once vehicles, tents, and better hunting mechanics are added this is what im going to do for sure.

For sure. I can run it on my $400 laptop on medium settings and get a steady 50 fps. Specs: CPU: intel CORE i3 4010U 1.7ghz (dual core) GPU: intel HD 4400 RAM: 6 GB Monitor: 1366x768 If I can run it on my schoolwork laptop you can run it on a gaming desktop, you'll be fine.

You could multiply the number of zombies 100x and make the environmental factors as real as they can be, and the game would still be built on pvp. why? because name one game that you have played that an npc or non-player character has ever been more interesting then a human opponent. exactly. no matter what you do, a multiplayer game where pvp is an option will make that game have pvp be the number 1 factor. And one more thing. "what a dumb thing to say." grow up.

While many of these are realistic and make sense to me, you have to remember that I (and assuming you, considering you came up with these) are countrymen and hunters and know all of these things. The typical dayz player wouldn't know a lot of these things, and that would obviously cause problems. I think some of the ideas, well realistic, are a bit far fetched. Why eat a pigs foot when I can just eat the pork or ham? Or why use deer intestine as bait when I can just use worms, which are more common and easier to get? Realistic, but I almost think too realistic. However, I really do like some of these ideas. The sinew bow string is great and realistic. so are all of the deer antler uses. And the several ways to make fishing flies. I like most of your ideas, but you have to remember that 1: its a video game, you cant do absolutely EVERYTHING, and 2: each one of these things would require quite a lot of programming and work. I think other things should take priority over some of the ideas here, but as I said I really like some of them. Once more animals are added and the AI for them is fixed, hunting/fishing will become a huge part of this game. Anyway, I like most of your ideas and hope to see some of them implemented.

In a real zombie apocalypse, where killing for food or supplies might be the only option, would there be a "pvp free" area? of course not. Its part of the game. Quit whining like a 12 year old and get over it.
