So, where have you guys found V3S's at? I've been looking for a while and havnt found one. This can be an unofficial database for where V3S's are spawning. Anybody that has found one please post here where it was sighted at, in order to help others. Thank you.

Guys, please post your car related ideas onto the official list, we don't need tons of mini lists floating around. Heres a link to the official list, go post your suggestions there for a better chance of people seeing them. http://forums.dayzgame.com/index.php?/topic/210326-the-communitys-official-vehiclevehicle-idea-thread-version-15-now-with-constantly-changing-polls/?hl=%2Bofficial+%2Bcommunity+%2Bvehicle+%2Blist

Hey guys. Pretty simple idea today. reduce weapon sway. In real life if u have ever shot a gun you know that if you hold it steady and your decent at it you can hold it pretty close to steady. With the amount it moves in DayZ it looks like your sprinting with it. I recently found a herd of 6 cows in 1 field, I starting shooting with a MP133 and it took me 8 shots before I hit one from about 10-20 yards away. Please make this more realistic and better, or at least add an option to hold breath, thank you.

You bring up some good points. However I have some points contradicting that. -where is the military from other countries? Namely the U.S., whenever something like this happens the US always send a a military force to assist. A great example is the Ebola outbreak, the US sent a small number of troops to help contain it. Since DayZ is such a bigger event, the military presense would have been greater. -gas does decay and run less efficiently, but it does still work for many many years. I buy many old ATV's and mopeds and such off Craigslist, some of them havnt worked since the 90's and people never changed the gas because they never rode them. I fix them up, try starting it and sometimes 10+ year old gas still works. -an outbreak simply would not wipe out the entire world that quickly. It would take AT LEAST a month, probably several. it would have to cross oceans and reach every single spot to wipe out everyone, that would take quite a while. We all assume the rest of the world is gone in DayZ too, yes? Otherwise where are they at, why aren't they helping us and why don't we go there? -simply for the sake of gameplay. If it was as realistic as possible, there would be absolutely 0 usuable clothing and 0 food able to be looted. Hunting/fishing would be the ONLY source of food. There would be no gas, so no cars for the game either. It would ruin the game, theres a line between realism and fun of gameplay that devs must tread on. I hope you understand my points here. Thank you.

Hmm..well, looks like I was wrong. However, just because the technology exists does not mean that it is common and found everywhere. Have you ever actually seen a car in real life that runs on fry oil from McDonalds? Im gonna assume that's a no. And, as you said yourself, the technology is not common. So in DayZ, which is at least several years after the collapse of society, there probably wont be any of this type of technology left. <_< I meant the car engine. not the game engine.

Its a good idea, but its simply not possible. Unless you switch out the entire engine pretty much, you cannot convert it to different fuel types. Now, that being said, there are cars that are able to take multiple fuels, for example I know that most minivans being made today have the option to take gas with ethanol added to it, along with straight up gasoline. I think it would be cool to have different cars that take different types of gas in-game, it would be hilarious when the casuals take the first gas can they find and put it into their car and completely destroy the engine :P Also, is there such thing as cars that run on things like vegetable oil? No offense but im pretty sure that doesn't exist :) It was a good idea, but its just not realistic and irl not possible to do. All the best, Walker

good idea, please go post it on the official list. we don't need tons of individual suggestions, we made an official list for a reason. If you could post it there, then it can officially be added. Thanks. Link to official list: http://forums.dayzgame.com/index.php?/topic/210326-the-communitys-official-vehiclevehicle-idea-thread-version-15

Yes, this is a great idea. Also, I would like more types of hunting, trapping included. Other then big game hunting, we need stuff like waterfowl hunting, small game, etc. and they all need far more advanced AI. If they behave like they do in real life I would play DayZ like it was Hunting Simulator 2014.

great idea, in the bounty board I would totally set up a private army for hire

Ah, sorry for the misunderstanding, my mistake. I agree blood and some gore would be good, not to extreme but we need some. skinning players though is a completely different thing.

you know what I meant, don't be a smartass kid. zombie blood/gore and skinning a human body for absolutely no purpose are 2 completely different things.

...Why? Whats the purpose, other then changing the game from what may have been a T rating to definently an M, and also losing the likes from parents everywhere? It would be like GTA, people would immediately think of blood and gore and stuff when they hear DayZ. I say no to this, there is no point in it.

...you realize its not really the idea of "vehicles" anymore. they are confirmed, and already in development. Now the suggestions are revolving around what vehicles, specific features, etc. No offense, but its pretty obvious your new here. Look around a bit and figure out whats being added and stuff before you suggest things that are already confirmed, try to read the weekly status reports and such.

I have found multiple black ones, but im yet to find a pink one. Also, what ammo do they take? Ive tried like 3 different types and none of them work

Hey guys, So my suggestion today is some different variation of shotguns and their parts and ammo. In real life, there is different types of ammo, different barrels for firing said ammo, different gauges of ammo, etc. My suggestion is some variation and attachments for shotguns. This may also require some other shotguns besides the 2 current ones. Different Ammo http://www.bing.com/images/search?q=different%20shotgun%20shots in real life, there is different types of ammo used in shotguns, the 2 big ones are obviously pellets and slugs, but there are more specific types within these 2 categories. For example, within pellets there is bird-shot, buck-shot, heavy pellets, small pellets, etc. Each one has their own specific use, for example if you have smaller pellets, theres more there but they don't have as much individual stopping power. Bigger pellets sometimes only have like 5 pellets in a shell, but each pellet has far more power. Slugs are basically just individual bullets that travel much farther, but obviously don't have as much spread. Different types are used in different types of hunting, for example pellets are used in goose hunting, while slugs are used in deer hunting. Would be good for not only different types of hunting once more animals are added but also just to add some variation. Different Barrels http://www.bing.com/images/search?q=mossberg In order to fire different types of ammo out of your shotgun, different barrels are required. Irl, these are bought separately from your shotgun, and you can attach whichever one you need for the specific hunting your doing. In game, different barrels could be found as uncommon loot, and kept as needed. Different Gauges http://www.bing.com/images/search?q=different+shotgun+gauges basically different caliber versions of shotguns. The most common one is 12 gauge, followed by 20 gauge, 4/10, and 10 gauge. There may be some other oddball ones out there, but these are probably the most common. If the game included a 20 and a 4/10 along with the 12 already in id be happy. 10 is most powerful of the ones I listed, followed by 12, then 20, then 4/10. 12 gauge is used for hunting and such, 4/10 is basically a childs gun. Some manufacturers make different gauge versions of the same exact gun, for example the Mossberg 500 has a 12 gauge, 20 gauge, and also pump and automatic versions, all of the same exact gun. They all look pretty much identical, except they shoot smaller/bigger shots. This would be good in game, because smaller gauges would be quieter and a little smaller, and would add more diversity. I understand that if this was added, it would be later in development, as more high priority tasks need to be worked on. However, if you are a hunter/outdoorsman you understand the importance of shotguns, and the importance of using the correct ammo, barrel, gauge, etc. for the task at hand. Id like to hear feedback from you guys, thanks for your time. Any thoughts on this are appreciated, also please point out any errors in my post so I can fix them, thanks again.

I realize I was misunderstood, you guys are right "childs gun" was not a good word choice. It is lethal just like any other gun. By childs gun, I meant that it is not really strong enough to hunt with, and is overall a weak gun. Definently still powerful enough to kill, just not the most practical weapon for the job. Sorry for the confusion.

1: Please keep posts constructive and having a point to them. 2: care to elaborate as to why my statement is "so much nope"?

1, this is already confirmed, suggested, etc. and also, if your going to suggest vehicles and vehicle related things, please don't make your own thread, we don't need any more "unofficial" lists. Please go add your suggestions to the official thread. Ill post a link for you. However, everything in your list is already on the official list. still, go check it out and see if theres anything not on the list you would like to add.

Great idea. I would also like to tie in the fact that the birds should be actual animals, not just basically pictures, by this I mean you should be able to shoot at them in stuff. This would allow duck/goose hunting, which, if your a hunter, you know is not only quite enjoyable but would be a great source of food. It would add another aspect to the game, groups could build a duck blind, then go duck hunting for food. If this was the case, there should also be random groups of birds flying around aimlessly, not landing at all unless triggered to by a player using a call and/or decoys, and they could travel in groups and formations similar to in real life. the example im going to use is geese, they always fly in that sort of "V" shape. It would be awesome if this type of hunting could somehow be implemented. Im sorry if I kind of hijacked the thread a little but I feel these 2 ideas relate to each other. Thanks.

Being an outdoorsman, I can personally say that socks are one of the most important pieces of clothing. If your socks get wet, your miserable for at least 2-3 hours. They also keep your feet warm probably more-so then your shoes. Definently would be a good thing to add. Also, I can only imagine once a clan gets all stocked up, just collecting socks and making a mountain of them at their base...

Yes, if you are an outdoorsman like myself you see a lot of different types of terrain, I think there should be not only different types, but different sizes and thicknesses too.

Bumping again....what happened guys? this is the official list. we cant let it die.

Exactly. That's what I said. They need to implement this type along with the already existing one.

great idea, go suggest it on the link below please. That is the official list for all vehicles and vehicle-related ideas. Im pretty sure radios is on the list already but I know lootable CD's are not. Great idea, go suggest it so it doesn't get lost in the bowels of these forums. http://forums.dayzgame.com/index.php?/topic/210326-the-communitys-official-vehiclevehicle-idea-thread-version-15-now-with-constantly-changing-polls/
