Yet another idea I've thought of while playing a bit of STALKER earlier today. Currently, a GPS allows you to mark locations on the map. However, when you do so, everyone with a GPS can instantly see the locations you've marked just by opening their maps. The suggestion itself is this: If possible, edit the way a GPS works so we can mark locations on our GPS without other players instantly viewing it, and if we die and another player loots our corpse, they get all the locations we've marked on our GPS transferred to theirs (or they'll loot our GPS if they didn't had one). My suggestion goes hand in hand with the idea of stashing loot in places (similar to tents, but possibly better hidden, like in a backpack or somesuch), such as these ones: http://dayzmod.com/forum/search.php?action=results&sid=8e5d1af409bc808be7434fff253af987&sortby=lastpost&order=desc Before you state "Tents are stashes", the problem with tents is that they're quite visible, and although they serve as very good stashes with a ridiculous capacity at the moment, I personally feel that they're too obvious, and could serve better purposes than just to store things in. Stashing things in backpacks would be the best option imho, as a backpack is small enough as to be easy to hide, but also restricted in size so we can't hide 10 guns inside of it like we can Tents. Let's discuss!

That sounded a lot nicer in your head, alex, but I see what you were trying to say.

I like the idea, but the font is a little hard to read. If I was to use one of these (and I'd probably make my own if I did, no offense) I would want it to be very easy to read. That's just my two cents.

You could try joining our clan/community at http://nihil-ad-rem.net If you're as mature as you claim you are we'll be happy to have you. If not, there's always our Minecraft server.

The Crossbow is currently underpowered due to the sights being very hard to aim with. Most people would prefer the Lee Enfield. However, I've found that with a bit of practice, the crossbow is great due to the silence of it. It's all a matter of preference, but the Lee Enfield isn't nicknamed "The Dinner Bell" for nothing.

+1 for everything here. Everything. Of course, things need to be tweaked, but every core idea the OP has posted is just brilliant. Take all my +1s, and let's hope for other things such as my liberation idea and new weapons, more co-operative goals, etc.

OP reminded me of when he went on about his Nazi spiel.Also, Flamethread of the year. Fucking hilarious stuff. OP is faggot and all that.

You've rekindled my hope for GPS systems having a use beyond giving a player their co-ordinates, Zipper. Currently, I find maps and GPS to be useless, as http://dayzmap.info gives me more info than anything in-game.

Thank you, Fishy. I like the idea of making DayZ a living hell too, and think it'd go very well with my idea.

+1, definitely support this idea.

If you've seen over 9000 threads stating the same thing, POST IN ONE OF THEM INSTEAD OF MAKING A NEW THREAD.

http://dayzmod.com/forum/showthread.php?tid=1246 Already been suggested and discussed, buddy.

There's a few Apple orchards around, the one next to Balota is the only one I remember the exact location of though.

So you're suggesting that we suggest a suggestion leaderboard to those who can be suggested to, through the suggestion subforum? That's rather suggestive of you, and I suggestively suggest, to those I am suggesting this suggestion to, that such a suggestion should be implemented so our best suggestions can be better suggested by being the most suggested suggestions in the suggestion subforum through the suggestion leaderboard, which is what you have just suggested.

Hendrix, almost every single post I've seen from you has been simply unfounded, idiotic, wrongfully accusatory of others, or downright off-topic. If you continue this way I'll be the one reporting you for your behaviour. On topic, I support this idea, it fits well, it's reasonable, and except for the few people who can't seem to think for themselves (and thus can't figure out how to connect to the correct servers from experience), is well supported. ZDB, you have yourself a winner. +1.

Fenrig, don't make personal attacks on people, you make yourself look like an asshole, not a respectable person.

I support this idea. Sounds pretty handy, and it has quite a few good gameplay effects. Although, let's just say I were to kill a player, what's to stop me simply deleting all his 'friends' from his GPS and masking my position to them thusly?

And you people thought I was unreasonable.

I'll have a look for the thread it was mentioned in, for you.

I agree with the above post to a ridiculous degree.

I still do that, even now xD Eh, perhaps there is less to this idea than I thought. Oh well.

Isn't it possible to doubletap ctrl to lower your weapon? Or hit \ to salute? :P

No, the idea that zombies are too strong and are "bullshit". They have their issues, which will be fixed, but he complains about things such as the speed and strength of the zombies, because they're hard for him, which is the whole damn point in an 'anti-game'.

Valid point. We should get some more official information about this event, then, although let's get back on topic eh?
