    High Capacity Vests

    Just keep looking. They're out there.

    easter eggs / storyline

    If they added in any type of story behind the infection it would/could interfere with a player's story. The unknowingness about the whole situation is the beauty of it.

    I hope you die.

    Gearing up is the best part of this game

    When I die, I log into a full server and try to get a Cherno/elektro spawn. Bet your ass i'll leave there with some goodies. ;)

    Lunch Parameters

    Ya know.. I made a suggestion about adding in more immersive foods to choose from, like sandwiches. I think a nice, big 6x6 inch sandwich would fill anyone up.

    No. You make your story.

    A few questions

    The Plate Carrier was previously known as Ballistic Vest and was removed in a prior version of the game. It was added again in the 0.54 experimental update. The vest does not seems to be bulletproof as of the 0.54 stable branch, however it does seems to absorb quite a few more bullets than other vests.

    Players turn into a zombie?

    Yes because we said so. We own you.

    Final Thoughts from an Early MOD player....

    The mod was a modification for arma 2.. a military simulator. Standalone was meant to be a zombie apocalypse simulator. When things start to get hard and you only have the real DayZ players, will shall see you again.

    Motion activated camera.

    I was just thinking of this^. Watched the movie two days ago. Screw all the fancy-smanshy "motion activated-camera's". What we need it just normal cameras. Battery-powered cameras that send video signal to a device from up to 2 kilometers away (one mile). And if you had multiple, you would set them up on the same frequency. And if other players had the same receiver device, they could flip through frequencies in big cities like chernogorsk to try to find your hidden camera feed. Now THAT, is something worth adding.
  11. I hate how many people don't know what developing a game is. It's in alpha, right now your just along for the ride. They don't give one flying poop about glitches right now. They will have one major bug fixing patch towards the end of alpha or beta (I forgot which one) called "the polishing act" oooooooooh.. aaahhh. And on this magical day, 99% of glitches will magically disappear! They do this after all of the features are added in, Because if they fix a glitch lets say right now, then add in another feature later, a new glitch would just appear. If they are done adding in features, they only have to fix it all once. Ya dig? maybe a second or third bug fixing update to clean up.. but you get the point. Now stop whining, and let the staircase do it's job!

    will there be a Boeing AH-64 Apache someday for Dayz standalone?

    The hyperlinks don't make you look like you know what you're talking about, bud. We will see aerial transport before the end of 2015, but you can bet your ass that it will look somewhat like this. Incase you haven't realized it, this is a zombie apocalypse. Where people scrape by with the sight of death in a never ending horizon. If you are a die-hard about this suggestion and others similar, you belong here. http://store.steampowered.com/agecheck/app/107410/ Cheers. EDIT: Your copy and paste skills are astonishing.

    Item Durability

    Imagine the stair glitch that ruins your pants and boots and everything inside of them? You know how every single item in your pants becomes ruined? Well that has to change. The staircase glitch was just an example, since it is a glitch, it will be fixed, but to keep the suggestion short, whenever a clothing item becomes ruined, not everything inside of it should be too. Items could be damaged, and rarely ruined at that. Thoughts?

    Instanced Zombie Horde

    This game is unscripted. Let's keep it that way.

    Nametags + Reputation System Proof of concept

    Most humans won't kill another human, you're right. But this is a loong time after the initial outbreak. All of those "humans" you speak of are gone. It's survival of the fittest. Only the best remain. and the "best" won't hesitate to put a bullet in your head. That's my philosophy. And there are certain things that a simulator won't ever be able to simulate. And that may very well be "who they are from their eyes". There will be no way to tell the type of player from a feature like that for a loong time, if not never. And adding what you want to add might be useful in some cases, but it would ruin the "simulation" part. AND imagine finding another player bleeding out, choosing whether or not to help this person can be a hard decision. But a big bright nametag that says "tommy. I am a bandit." or "Tommy. I KoS" will influence your decision a lot, without having to guess what type of person it is, which is the beauty of it. It would break the game.

    Something brief that needs some addressing.

    Eat your sandwiches on the other side of the door, please. I don't know what I said, but it sounded important.

    Nametags + Reputation System Proof of concept

    This game is a simulator. This game is supposed to "simulate" what you would have to do during a real zombie apocalypse. If in a real zombie apocalypse, you can look at another survivor and read their nametag to see if they are friendly and grow potatoes, then I'm all for this idea. Cheers.

    finding other players and how do i chat with them?

    You've been playing DayZ for two days now. You have much to learn. You are better off staying alone until you hit around 150 hours of gameplay. That might sound insane but IMO it is worth it. You learn the ropes, learn how to do things on your own, eventually you learn how to handle other players (in large numbers too). After around 150 hours you will feel confident with what you are doing and you will be able to lead yourself through thick and thin, from killing a zombie, to robbing other players, and even saving them. At this point you should either find someone IG which can be a difficult and time-consuming process, or you can start a new topic in the Recruitment sections to find a few friends, or a whole platoon to fight with in this jacked up world. Cheers.

    "My stomach grumbled violently"

    Dying fast? You mean increasingly growing. Your liking for the game might be dying fast, but with all that is to come in this next year, older players and more new players will join the Standalone community even more than before. 666 Hail Hall.
