Let me be the first to reply and tell you that you should FIX THE CARS PLEASE. THIS IS REDICULOUS! Cars have been fucked for many many years and despite acknowledging the problems a year ago nothing has been done. Not even an update. No information. It's not even in the timeline for this year. How is this not your top priority???

So the cars are still not fixed? They are fucking death traps but I'm glad that can now pull someones dead body out of them after they have been catapulted 700 miles into the air and dropped who the fuck knows where.

try dayzeuropa.com. It's chernarus but pure vanilla. A lot of players and awesome admins.

I probably should have explained why I'm asking. I wan't to measure it. I wan't to hook myself up to a monitor but I'm not sure what I have to monitor. If my heart is pumping faster I need to monitor the pulse but if my heart is pumping harder I think I'd have to measure the blood pressure? So I'm not sure what I exactly I should measure. I kind of knew that the changes are caused by "fight or flight" and adrenaline. But thanks for the great responses anyway!

Hi guys This is a rather unusual question but still DayZ related... I think. When I play DayZ and I get in to a firefight my heart starts pounding in my chest. I know that this happens to a lot of players and this is what I love about this game. But what is actually changing? Is it just my pulse increasing or is it also something else? Because it doesn't just feel like my heart pumping faster it feels like it's also pumping harder... I have no medical education so this might be a very stupid question but there might be someone here who knows the answer.

If you want a survivor feel, play vanilla DayZ. If you want more of a shooter feel with more weapons and vehicles than you'll ever need / use, play epoch / overpoch ... whatever. I've played epoch for a while but it's just not the same after some time you have everything and the game just get's boring. (for me at least...)

Ok I can understand that. But I'm sure someone from this community would be willing to administer a wiki. I'also sure it would be possible to support it with donations. I would donate right away for something like that.

Since this gets no replies I thought I'd add a TL;DR: Base System: Add roof to bases to improve usability. Notebook: Change it so you can't just press "i" to check whether you killed your opponent. Also open little booklet of opponent when clicking check body. Respawn delay: Suggestions to solve problem of someone dying and just running back to the fight with lee enfield after respawning and killing everybody (having nothing to lose) Jerry-Can as fuel for fire: self explanatory Temperature: Change so wetness has impact on temperature.

So why don't you just host your own wiki on a webserver?

I'm not quite sure if I'm understanding you correctly. Are you saying all the pages where you can create a wiki, already have a page about some DayZ mod and you cannot create a new wiki about te "same" game? If that's the case, why don't you just host your own wiki on a webserver? Also what is this "map updates" stuff you guys are talking about? Are you talking about maybe getting permission to add new buildings / make some enterable or add new Islands and stuff like that? Maybe even make pine trees not so over protective of the players who are invading their private space?

Oh OK I understand now. I think I said that in an other post already but to my knowledge there currently isn't any way to get recent information about the vanilla mod without reading through all the change logs (which is a pain in the ass, bc you don't know whether something has changed again in the later versions) or asking on he forum. All the wikis I know of and have used are outdated or contain information about either the standalone or other mods. And if you try to google stuff you will find either outdated stuff, information on other mods or information about the standalone. So there really is a need for a new wiki. Dayz Mod Vanilla only and I can tell you, you have to start from scratch. There would be so much to review and change, that it is easier to just start over again. Here are two other websites I used to use: http://dayzdb.com/(has a database about what weapons and vehicles there are and so forth but is not really a wiki, and the information is outdated.) http://dayz.gamepedia.com/Mod:Weapons(used to be a good wiki back in the days but is outdated and is mixed with information about the standalone) I would love to contribute to a new wiki but since I haven't played in a very long time I don't think I would be of much help. Also there is so much misinformation spread around the community that the start of a new wiki would be really hard. The things people I some times play with believe in (or don't believe) are amazing. If I may suggest, I think the easiest way to start a wiki would probably be to define which topics are absolutely crucial and then choose some experienced players to create those pages. The topics could be chosen via the forum in a "Wiki pages suggestion thread". And people who would create the pages to those topics could apply via the forum (need to have a certain amount of posts in the forum to give an idea about how experienced they are). Then the wiki would be created in a closed Beta kind of way, so only those chosen and the dev team have access. Once the important pages are made. The wiki could enter open Beta and people could create pages, which have to be reviewed by a "Wiki Mod" (preferably the ones that created the initial pages) before the page is made public. And once the wiki grows, people who have made a lot of posts which have been approved by the "Wiki Mods" can be promoted to be "Wiki Mods" themselves. I hope this helps =) EDIT: I just thought of an other Idea. Maybe it is possible to take an existing wiki and flag every page as old. Experienced players could then review the sites and approve if they are still up to date / relevant or edit the page.

Like you, he believed the dark side could be conquered from within. Such was not to be. The dark side seduced him utterly…and player kills became his path! Odan-Urr I cannot remember my first player kill, but I remember vividly how got killed by a player for the first time: I was with 3 friends of mine who have been playing the game for about a week (that was back when the soldier bodies caused graphic bugs). After some time, we finally managed to find each other. We met by the house behind Balota airfield. (046 126) They asked me what weapon I want and I said, I wanted to try to play as a sniper (what a fool I was ^.^). So they gave me their precious CZ550. Probably the best weapon they had. After about 2 minutes of holding the gun I accidentally pressed LMB and shot the thing. My friends instantly realized that every zombie of balota was going to run towards us. So they started panicking and shouted "Ruuun ruuuuuun" and ran up the street northwards. I remember telling them that it was me who shot, not understanding what the problem was. They then told me to look behind me and there was this huge crowd of zombies running towards us. I fucking shat my pants. Back then we thought of zombies as the main threat. Well we ran up to the metal barn thing in the little village thing above balota. (048 125) and killed the zombies in there. We couldn't even kill all the zombies before someone started shooting at us. Me and one of my friends were upstairs in this little room thingy, my other mates were downstairs. They both died and the friend who remained panicked and shouted at me to look outside the window and shoot the enemy. I tried to spot him (while looking through the scope) and of course didn't see shit. He: "shoot him shoot him" Me: "I don't see him, I don't see him" He: "You are the sniper, you have to shoot him" Me: "I don't know where he is" and then we both died. Never saw the guy. Had no idea where he was shooting from or what weapon he used. TL;DR: Met up with friends for first time, they gave me a CZ, 5 minutes later everyone got killed bc I had no idea what I was doing. Pro Tip: Record some of your early gameplay. It's a lot of fun to go back and re-watch it when you've mastered the game. Doesn't have to be something like killing players, anything goes. Nothing better than seeing how amazed you were when you found something totally worthless but thought you found something very good, or being finally able to see the guy who killed you bc you ain't blind anymore.

Thanks for the many responses. As I'm not usually running through the forest with a chemlight in my hands and I'm recycling my cans insted of tossing them around in Electro, the problems that have been named are no big deal. Also, as I understand it, you can change some sounds to be the original ones. What other problems are you talking about in 1.8.5 / 1.8.6

I'm not really sure what you mean and why you're asking but here are some links: As I understand it, with this solution you don't require your own web server and it seems like klick together. http://www.wikia.com/Wikia This one seems to be "The Wiki", meaning it's the same that's used by the generally known wikipedia.http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/MediaWiki I have to admit however that I have no personal experience with either. I just found them here: http://www.pcmag.com/article2/0,2817,2399624,00.aspTrying to help

Thanks R4Z0R49 For anyone interested here's a screenshot of what I told before (just found the recording of that incident) Remember, he walked away from that.
