Dude love the idea! I would so want to play on a server like that. Definately hope you can get this going

That would be cool, if they were to add different ways to distract the infected one other way could like a fire alarm in the school or fire station or the military bases coukd have air raid sirens.

WooHoo! Snow angels on the runway at NWAF and snowball fights with bambis on the coast! Can't wait :D

I would like to see if it would be possible to port over the maps from fallout either new vegas or DC and expand their borders to match the size of chernarus.

I wouldn't mind having achievements i used to be a major achievement hunter when i was on xbox and i'm happy steam does too, i'd always strive to have a better gamerscore than my friends. Heres one for the list JOHNNY APPLESEED pick 50 apples

There is a reason why there are 1st and 3rd person perspectives, not everyone likes the same thing. I personally like both POVs, 1st is more immersive and more challengeing while 3rd is more calm and relaxed(but don't get me wrong 3rd can still give you that adrenaline rush). From what i read on here the problems with 1st person is that there aren't enough people playing it, people just don't like it, and some people can't play it due to medical reasons. The third reason can't be help but if 1st person players would promote 1st person servers or even try to be open-minded and try to convince players to at least try out your servers instead of saying 3rd person is completely terrible and trying to basically absorb 3rd person into 1st and while 3rd person does need change to stop exploiters and equal the playing field i'm sure it can be done without adding 1st aspects.

Yes this would be useful so no one can hear the screams as i carve up my dinner.

i agree, sometimes i'll mess around with freshspawns, knock them out, cuff'em, and make them my slave but 9/10 times they go for the respawn button as soon as the are unconsious.

Dont forget itching powder, let your enemy scratch themselves to death lol.

i like to pretend its like on Mario 64 and i have a little guy on a cloud with a camera following me around lol.

I for one like both POVs, i enjoy 1st person for a more immersive feel, i actually have to cautiously move cover to cover in town to stay safe rather than charge though because i have such a wide field of view that allows me to notice everything and it makes me feel like i'm the one surviving instead of playing a character who is. 3rd person is good to because its more relaxed for me, of course the random mosin shot past your face can still give you an adrenaline rush but because i dont have to worry to much about my surroundings its a bit easier to me. I've seen the devs video testing out the new 3rd person camera angle and it did remind me alot of games like resident evil or fallout nv somewhat. I am a major fan of resident evil and would love this camera angle to be in but i understand where the OP is coming from, i have friends that have played resident evil 5 with me but couldnt stand the camera angle. Of course with the word Alpha also means change and since Dayz has kept the original 3rd person camera so long this is a major change that of course would upset people who are accustomed to it, but i would just say that at the very least give it a chance, just because it seems like it sucks doesnt mean it will. There has been many times where i've judged a game before giving a chance and it usually becomes one of my faves, lets just hope this dispute gets settled.

Then watch next update it will never stop raining lol.

In a mixture of a medic and vigilante, i always horde medical supplies and am always willing to share or help someone in need but i am far from a pacifist, i will defend myself and rush in to save someone being held up and i dont take risks with people that are fully decked out, they are fair game for me.

It would be cool to put this with base building, it would have more storage slots and neater than haveing a bunch of bags laying around.

The only way i see the minigun put to use is if you could put it in a car a set it up as a mounted gun elsewhere, using it terminator style would be ridiculous.

I've seen other threads on weapons and alot of people want the weapons to feel more common to the region and more civilian grade weapons rather than military. It wouldn't bother me with the weapons being realistic or not but then an idea struck me, what if Dayz took place after Operation Red Harvest in Arma 2? I found not exact proof but its something. http://dayz.gamepedia.com/Chernarus Check out the link and look under the Reference tab, if this were true it wouldn't be crazy to find guns like maybe a M16A4 or Bizon PP-19 maybe put some abandoned U.S. or Russian bases where they would only spawn but of course the devs have alot going on so i wouldn't care if this was a definate but i thought i'd post it and see what you guys think.

I thought of this while playing Fallout:NV, on the hardcore setting the three main things you keep track of is Hunger, Hydration, and Sleep. I think this would be a cool survival element, maybe after being alive for a couple days your character becomes tired affecting stamina, weapon sway, etc. You would have to find a safe place to laid down and rest, maybe even blacking out the screen as a way of closing your eyes. The only thing im not sure of is how long would you have to sleep in order to become rested because im sure anything more then an hour would be annoying. But anyway, what is do you guys think?

The other stuff would be cool but i would just settle with hair color so i can run around being my gingerly self

Just being curious but i would like to know if the devs have any ideas on making new maps after full release or are they just sticking with Chernarus or just letting modders put in new maps? On a side note, besides Chernarus what map would you guys most like to play on? I would love to play the standalone Panthera or Nalmalsk and especially any brand new map people come up with.

I believe that since the UH-1Y is usually a transport helicopter they could put it in without armaments. Even though its not confirmed, i like to consider that dayz takes place after Operation Red Harvest so if that were the case then the best places probably be either balota airfield or NEAF(idk if it now being a civilian airfield makes a difference).

When i first watched the anime Sword Art Online i thought to myself it would be sooo badass if dayz could do this in relation to virtual reality, you could actually take cover behind objects and not lean and not deal with robotic animations. Of course i have never experienced VR so i wouldnt know if this is possible but it would be cool nonetheless.

Im all for them devs making this game as realistic and challenging as possible, if the TDM kiddies dont like it they can wait for the mods or go play another game.

HAIL to the King baby!

Same here man, my music comes from the waves of the ocean, the wind in the trees, and the occasional screech of the infected.

I've heard that they are possibly adding Utes as an area you could go to but extending to Novigrad might produce some performance issues loading in all terrain, objects, etc.
