Not sure how the devs will go about doing this without a backlash, I mean any sort of drastic change will stick out like a sore thumb. They would have to slowly nerf it and not tell us about it in the patch notes.

By the same token, shouldn't our characters be breaking ankles when running cross country full pelt? There is a line beyond which realism shouldn't be implemented in a videogame.

All of the animals would be worthwhile! You could tell your dog to follow or go somewhere by pointing and selecting an option from either a scroll down mouse menu or via some button.

Hello reader! Wouldn't you say that DayZ can be a very lonely game at times? I would think so. Just like in real life, when your friends or family aren't around, you get lonely, but pets are there to cheer you up! Wouldn't it be awesome to have a cute German Shepard follow you around? You would have to take care of it by feeding it, protecting it from the zombies and people and petting it! Or what about a pony, horse or donkey that you could use to carry some of your items, or as a means of transport? Since vehicles are being added so quickly into the game (fantastic job devs!), I think it would be appropriate to discuss the feasibility of my proposition! Apart from technical iffiness, I can't think of a reason against pets in DayZ! What do the guys think of this?

In my opinion it already takes enough time to get from one place to another, why would the devs choose to slow the game down any further? I mean, yeah, I'm on my phone anyway during the boring running part, but that doesn't mean that's all I want to be doing....
