+1, you have my beans sir. Maybe the new helicopter that is being added will bring us more towards true survival....

Try to think about it in terms of distance, not time. As stated we currently run extremely fast which throws off time calculations.

Yes, the current server mechanic defies logic and balance...but it's what we got and I don't think it's changing. Private hives are a better choice. This setup comes with lots of loot balance issues but it also helps push you out of your comfort server to interact with new communities. Most other games have 1 char per server with no problems. DayZ chose the path less traveled. Since returning from my hiatus I have been playing Public...because I love being trolled by tweens and KoS'd constantly. Also for the off chance that I meet Rick;)

Inland...stalking you....watching you...leaving cans of peaches in the house just ahead of you...

I often found myself clearing towns for the hell of it. Had lots of fun with it but I am definitely a player of all styles. I find the PvP aspect suffers alot for me without the infected. The we're the icing on the cake for me that made PvP encounters even more intense. When the infected come back to chernarus, so will I.

TS, and other like it, is 3rd party software that gives you an advantage over other players making it a cheat. No way to stop it though. Most players are cheaters ;) Using only in game comms is more fun & challenging imo. Most players will always take the easy way out?

Don't feel bad...if you don't want to be KoS don't drive a truck into a military zone ;)

High population on the coast along with everything being looted causes more loot to spawn inland. This is an effort to entice players to experience all that DayZ has to offer by moving inland. (*subjective comment*)Instead of pretending DayZ is a DM FPS.

Tomato gardens for the win!!!

Really hope this works out! Great idea for starting gear!

Make PvP more interesting. Bored of hearing streamers say things like "He's moderately geared, take him out" Then they go to the corpse and he has a crow bar, bomber jacket, and dry back. Yeah, moderately geared, any excuse to shoot first. I enjoy Sobieski,who recently started streaming. When he plays DayZ he is an actual bandit. Robbing people and only killing as a last resort. His DayZ content is miles beyond that of most other streamers. M1ndr is as well, he does interact and looks for 'bad guys'. If you have a mission it is easier for me as a viewer to be engaged. Running around KoS is very boring to me.

I agree with Deadjuice. I almost always prefer interaction over KoS. But if I meet someone who keeps moving all over like a twitchy crack head, they are dead. Can't trust crack heads, I prefer to stay in partial cover and just don't sit and talk with anyone for too long. This isn't a social club anyway. Ask what you need to and move on. If you're gonna team up do so but figure this out as quickly as possible.

Mechanics and Systems come first. Then bug fixes. Then atmosphere.

First, I will probably starve to death...after that I'd like to try the hermit lifestyle again. See if I can survive indefibately without entering a town or major city. If that works I will then set about testing out and trying to break/bug out any and all new features.

I could see a news, medical or police helicopter being possible options. Perhaps in the larger cities a secondary building is added to police stations and/or hospitals with a helipad. Larger hospitals would have these for use in life fighting critical patience.Small single engine planes at NE airfield abandon on the strip perhaps? I agree that the addition of flight has the ability to derail the current gameplay mind you. But like everything they add it's all about finding the right balance of maintenance/repair difficulty and rarity. Maybe a chance while flying that you rotary or engine seizes up ;)
