why? the reason these forums are here are to share stories, information and ideas. Do you know how many Ideas the devs had gotten from their community?

*Goes happily to a barrack in Vybor and find an AK on the ground. Walk outside and find a flashlight and ruined beans.

ohh my godd! If I find a flashlight, im pulling out my gun, gonna fire a whole mag in the sky then go kill me some Indians! wait..

any weird unusual loot found anywhere was probably dropped by another player. Just think. if you got there sooner, that taloon backpack would be a hunters backpack.

For awhile you hear that weird growling and prowling like you are being watched by the undead? pretty unsettling, right? If you play enough, you will learn the sounds and know when a zombie is nearby and/or If you just hear the prowling. There is a curtain sound that zombies make if you get close to them, and they don't see you. This sound is helpful so they can never catch you by surprise another sound is when lets say you are running by gas station, you will hear a sort of gurgling prowl. Like a mixture of a child boomer and a hunter. This sound does not mean a zombie is nearby, but it will always make you think so. If you hear the prowling sound, you may stop and look around but no zombie will be nearby. The other sound means a zombie might be leaning up against a trash can in the alley behind you. unaware of your presence I am just waiting till' they make the sounds sound more 'distant and directional' the farther you get away from it. I'm pretty sure that that is scheduled for Q2 or Q3 for the 2015 roadmap, but I'm not too sure. Anyways, just wanted to get that out there, for those who were confused about it. now.... tell us how your last encounter went down!

Audio is an easy fix compared to most other things the devs are working on. Before the end of 2015, audio will be fixed. And lemme tell you, I've read some things, and its gonna be goooooood! You know how there's been times where you have panicked and your heart was racing? imagine that. Times 20. Yeah.

That is the worst feeling in the world. Hopefully your 'new member' adapts to the appropriate actions, regardless, we all start somewhere and we ALL make mistakes. But if this member fails you guys more, you will have (or should at least) do something about it.

I am a sniper in DayZ, I cause a lot of havoc from a far distance. Anyways I simply LOVE the Mosin, but is there any news on when REAL snipers are going to be added in? I heard that there was a "SVD" magazine added into the game without the actual SVD (which is a sniper) anyone have any news on the snipers? Not just for me, but for whoever googles and pulls up this Topic.

This video I can see was just a 'get started' video. and it had no real purpose. If you want to truly advance with videos, have them contain something with a plot.

They are bot h military grade helmets, so they will protect you. But if you are running through a field and someone shoots you in the head with a mosin, you are going to want to be wearing a ballistic helmet. Because if its pristine you will go unconscious, and wake up later.

I could see lighters being added in the game but, why not just use matches?

YES

Having to put handcuffs or (in the future) rope or duct tape to search another players inventory is completely unnecessary. You should be able to search other players if their hands are up. Maybe not every single clothing item, but at the least be able to look through their backpack. Thoughts?

YOUR SIG GIVES ME LIFE!

So, lets cut to the chase. Cooking pots= storage maybe in the future items could overheat. prolonged time in the cooking pot=overheating items. good think lighter fluid isn't in the game. = Thoughts? (about the storage part)

*sigh That is a global sound. so if a server is being abit laggy and stuff, if someone opens soda at electro, you might be able to hear it from berizino, and so on. And the growls are just an environmental sound. Like the fences rattling and birds flying when you walk past.

*4 more actually ;) You don't stop, progress, get better and BETTER!

Damn!! It would've been sooo good if you didn't die! KEEP IT UP! I LOVED IT!!! Matter of fact... you just got yourself another sub!

This would be a good idea, but Mos1ey is right. Things like this, there will be youtub tutorials on how to bypass. And whileyou have those actually GOOD players that don't want to break the rules, you will have this group of 14 year olds that are chatting over teamspeak, having an unfair advantage over you. Maybe when mods come out, someone would do something like this. But the chances are almost none. I'd be all for it.. buut

Before I begin, I know that the current zombies are placeholders and have much more work to be done. But I believe that when the developers change the zombie-survival aspect of the game to actually a 'zombie' aspect and not just survival and pvp, they will have to change the zombies in one of 'atleast' two ways. The first way is hordes; sounds simple enough, one zombie is fine, 20 of them.. not so much. The second way; making zombies a living hell; they inflict more damage, are faster if they gain speed. (are easy to lose to counter the last feature) ((but stealth will have to be implemented) but I think, why make them just scarier and inflict more damage? sure they will make you bleed and hurt your stuff, but.. why not more? now for the suggestion: I believe that if hitten by a future death seeking zombie, they should not just hurt you and make you bleed. There should be after affects that would make the player truly be scared of the dead. These after effects may or may not include: Blurry vision- here and there your vision gets blurry but goes back in a few seconds. ringing in the ear- your ear can ring easily. for example a player hits you in the head an hour after getting hit by a zombie; your ears start to uncontrollably ring for 2-4 seconds then diminishes while if you were not attacked by a zombie then that wouldn't of happened. (ONE OF MY FAVORITES) *some may frown upon* Have you ever played white noise or slender? you know how when you see him how you hear the loud DUN! then other disrupting, twitchy noises? Every. Single. time. after a getting hit by a zombie for lets say, the next 20 zombies, you will here a DUN and a fearful noise that will make you panic. But lets say you are on your 18th zombie after getting hit by one, and this zombie hits YOU. then your character screams. And the '20 zombie count' is reset. Something like this will make players want to avoid zombies COMPLETLEY. like you are out at night, and a zombie is there that you didn't really see and it goes DUN! You would jump in your seat! Now keep in mind that these were just suggestions I came up with from the top of my head; other ideas that are 'after effects' could and SHOULD be added in to make players avoid zombies more, somewhere along the 2015 roadmap after the new zombie AI and engine is added in the game. Thoughts? Disagreements? Opinions?

Check out my first serious DayZ Standalone video, to have a place to build off of. If you like watching people play the game, then this is for you!

This post has so much unusualness that it is useful because it reminds me of how unuseful things can be.

wow. I had actually suggested this awhile back, but nothing this complex. Something like this should be implemented. It would make those who want to be found, found. and those who don't, won't. +1 from me!

Put a to the left of the URL and a to the right of the url. No spaces.

hmm.. you're right! i always treated Chernarus like any other ol' place when it comes to guns.
