Airfield

Idea: The ability to combine dirt and water in a water bottle and apply it to your arms, legs, and face. Purpose: To provide maximum camouflage for snipers or wilderness survivalist. Could also be used later on if they implement negative effects from the sun (sunburn, overheating, etc) to protect against the suns rays. What would need to be added: -Ability to gather dirt -Ability to mix dirt and water in the waterbottle -Ability to apply bottled mud to body. -POSSIBLY add the ability to make different designs to act as war paints, etc. Process: Step 1: Find an empty water bottle. Step 2: Hold empty water bottle in hand and look at ground that consists of high soil content. Step 3: Select the action "Collect dirt". Step 4: Fill the bottle to either 25%, 50%, or 75% full. Step 5: Go to a river, well, pond, or the ocean. Or use the water contents from another canteen or water bottle. Step 6: Select the action "Pour water into bottle". ​Step 7: You will now have a bottle that contains water and dirt. The water takes up the other 25% so it will be 100% full. ​Step 8: Select the action "Shake bottle" to inter loop the water and dirt to create mud. Step 9: Final product will be a full bottle of mud. Step 10: Select the action "Apply mud to self" (a full body coating will require 3 full bottle of mud) Step 11: Avoid water or rain until the mud is dry. Step 12: Go snipe bandits at Berezino Side Notes: I was also thinking that if it is raining, players strip down fully and select an action that allows them to roll on the ground to coat themselves in mud. ​Players could also force-feed other players mud, until they puke or get sick. I know this idea isn't SUPER necessary, but I think you guys will like the idea of it for the future when they are in a position where they can focus on adding the communities suggestions.

Even with the bare possibilities of activities to do in the wilderness, I still enjoy surviving off the land. One thing I hope to see in development are more aspects of wilderness survival that make it more of a playable gamestyle. Here are my suggestions. Shelter: Players are able to gather sticks and leaves and craft them together to make makeshift shelter walls. 3 makeshifts shelter walls combined creates an unsturdy shelter. Adding 3 more rocks and 5 more sticks creates a sturdy shelter that is big enough for a player to lay in and have a fire/possible storage container in. Also, with the new tent, players should be able to strip leaves and bind them together using rope to create a camouflage shield in place of that painfully bright blue color it currently contains. "Tree House" This might be going a bit to far, but being able to have a small 5ft by 5ft house in the trees would be cool. It could be made out of logs that are fashioned into makeshift planks by a cutting saw. The ladder could be made from rope and ashwood sticks bound together. More Foods: In the wild, there are abundant amounts of edible fruits, vegetables, nuts, leaves, and animals. Here are a few more suggestions that I have for different kinds of foods that should be found in the forest as well: Nuts Black Walnut Hickory Nuts Buckeyes- a poisonous nut that could be crushed and added to someones canteen or bottle of water to poison them without knowing. Meat Loons Pelicans (near the shore) These two are birds that could be shot out of the sky. Trees Birch Leaves Tree Bark (might cause slight pain when eating, but thick with protein) Fallen birds nests (straw and eggs can be scavenged from the fallen nests. The eggs can be eaten raw or scrambled) Mushrooms White Mushroom (A rather large mushroom that could be eaten alone or possibly used as a wrap for cooked meat?) Mystery Mushroom (I have not found one that is in existence, but it could act as a food that might poison you or might greatly fill your stomach. Goes with idea of Russian Roulette that someone suggested. 6 shrooms, which one will kill you? xD) Non-Nature Foods Salt & Pepper found in Residential areas that could be used to seasoned meats or nuts. Brush/Sticks/Leaves Ghillie Suits Adding brush/sticks/leaves to boonies hats/other hats. Adding a camouflage cover that can be made and placed over parked cars A circular patch of leaves that can be waved over a fire and used to create smoke rings. CREDITS! -d.walker43 -Doctor Badsign

HA, 200 IQ. That's laughable in all honesty. I'm going to give him a generous ball park of 70-80?

In all honesty, Dean really did NOT have a vision. The whole concept of a zombie survival horror game is not new, its just he was the first to make it popular and as emerging. Dean had the idea of adding zombies to Arma, his development team did the rest. Also, am I the only one who is INCREDIBLY bothered by the fact that on the bottom of the standalone home page, where they have copyright info, etc. that it says "Created by Dean Hall"? What has he done other then mislead a development team and not be active in any sort of way other then when needed, and is about to bail on the project without even a words notice or formal recognition.

Nobody says its ALL about crafting, that's just what your going basing what we are arguing off of. We are trying to simply state that the game is highly based on social interaction, and people like you quite literally squelch the whole social aspect that DayZ has become so popular for. So please, do not be confused, nobody is saying the game is about crafting, it is about social interacting, and when more features are added, possibly wilderness survival or gang wars. And lets face it, I can say for sure that you are not going down in glory, your probably camping the rocks, firing on defenseless fresh spawns, and then for no apparent reason other then to have people hate you, you go about telling it to everyone on the forums. Also, on 2 other irrelevant notes. Your profile says your 34, which is complete bogus. You spell like a mentally impaired child and play the same as well. Again, I really DO NOT think you have any sort of business coming on these forums, as you have little to no respect for contributing to the KOS problem that we had so much hope wouldn't carry over to SA. Heated regards kiddo.

DayZ was created to be a realistic, post-apocalyptic survival horror. But, of course, immature adolescence as yours truly come and ruin what little potential the game has. You get so self-absorbed in killing others because there is nothing else to do, but don't realize that there really are other things out there. Have you ever tried once not duping or server hopping and killing fresh spawns? Have you ever tried playing legit and helping out fellow survivors? This game is hugely based on social interaction, and for every time you KOS someone, that is one more person to have trust issues, and one more person to start KOS'ing. Eventually, 3/4 of the population will KOS, and by then no stories will be made. No interactions will happen, the whole concept and feel of DayZ will be gone. Meh, you seem a tad bit too dim headed. Let's just say, don't waste your time on these forums, you have lost all respect from me, comrades, and most people who read your comments. Heated regards kiddo

So, I was kind of changing my resolution which is something I never mess with, and all of a sudden my game crashed. I rebooted and all it says is VGA Out of Range. I have a 27 inch ASUS monitor. I uninstalled and reinstalled DayZ and it still doesnt work. How do I change my res. to normal so it wont happen.

Also, ok. I fixed the blur, but now there is a big, translucent gray box that makes up 3/4 of my screen, its the caht box.

Not trolling. IT was a valid argument.

I fixed it, I am playing on maxed settings with 1080, but now the screen is all blurry, and I am a fresh spawn so its not anything related to health in game

As soon I boot the game it has the ASUS logo and Out of Range in a box that is glitching around the screen!

Then why don't you bear the pain of trial and error. Most of us died an excess of 50 times before we got the hang of it. But none of us bitched about the obvious difficulty and hardship. So please, don't spam threads. if you are raging, dont make an announcement about it, its really not needed. K, thx

You wont starve for a minimum of 30 minutes, usually an hour or so. Don't lie.

Good idea. I have experienced times when this feels like it should have been implemented.

I was always curious about how they are going to deal with new life realism, but I never quite thought of the body being invisible to the dead survivor being a thought. Its a good idea, I'm going to think about how I like it or not. Its... interesting.

This would definitely spice it up a bit. I think making the game more challenging could possibly result in a SLIGHT decrease in player boredom which equals KOS. If they are focused more on surviving, that would help a LOT.

I really don't think there is any way to avoid the eminent. And in all honestly, you can only get SO geared. I am the only one I feel that should fret over the wipe, as I have a decked Mosin with a bipod that I got off a bandit, a tactical vest, full TTSKO, 400 rounds, and a p73 RAK

I usually don't even go to the bother of searching for 5-10 minutes to get a couple berries that are the replenishing equivalent of jackshit. Until they add the ability to combine foods to make different meals, gathering berries/apples is really only necessary if you are bare out of food or are stranded.

I really do like the idea of jams/blanks. I wish there was more incentive to have to constantly manage your firearm. You should have to to clean your gun, which should be a matter of taking it apart and cleaning each part, which should be a 3 minute process.

Are they wiping the hives next update? I just need to know!

I think it would be a nifty little feature if you could turn your baseball caps sideways or backwards. I would love to have a baseball cap turned sideways with a bandanna around my mouth xD.

I see what you mean. I think both our opinions are reasonable, so lets put this at a truce.

Welcome back!

That was pretty funny. I feel like YouTube videos are what carry DayZ. I mean, who here DIDN't start off watching every episode of Frankieonpcin1080p.

MAN, 2 walkie talkies in the Standalone. Quite impressive! *sarcasm is aloft in my tone of voice* Items such as baby monitors to spy on voice activity or radios will be useless, as everyone uses third party softwares like TeamSpeak, Steam Chat, and Skype.
