Bringing this back to the top. I did not see it before and damn would all of these make SUCH a difference in adding atmosphere to the game. Love it. Truly do.

I've gone ahead and added in two new sections, More Injuries/Ailments and Right Hand/Left Hand! Please comment and discuss this! I'd love to hear more ideas, criticism, or shoot me with an sks xD

Thanks! I appreciate the comment! I do think it'd add a lot more depth and planning to how you act with your character and how it can influence many situations. Currently the endless ability to run from one edge of the map to the other (as long as you don't hit slopes) is a bit ridiculous. As for the AI-CDC Death Squads, you're probably right that it won't be needed once there's full up 75 server pops and a struggle between a lot more resources - For building, say. Also, the disorienting mental effects you're proposing are kind of an interesting idea. Can you expand on that a bit? I have a vague idea on where to go with this, but what were you thinking? :) Also, stay tuned - Going to be adding a bit more today!

I can see where you're coming from with this post and how you'd like to help the general populations maintain their cars away from trolls and such. . But just like Jeff Goldblum says in Jurassic Park, Nature finds a way :P This would only prompt such peoples to go back to the cars and touch it every once and a while. An unfortunate reality.

So, before this comes off as a tirade of hate against the game, I wish to express my genuine love for DayZ and its' developments! It's my favorite game and I honestly love to hermit the hell out of it for hours on end. But there is something I think I need to say, something that needs to be addressed at some point in terms of Cars (In general). Also, before I press on, I UNDERSTAND WE'RE IN ALPHA haha. This will be a mix of discussion as well as a suggestion as to how to proceed on these things, so just bear with me! I'll put it in list style to point out my concerns. There are way too FEW cars to fix up in the game. I believe it ridiculous that a player is capable of finding a car with absolutely NO parts on it, at all. What is this? This never happens in real life. . Not even in the hood. It is as if they have been to chopshops and then helicoptered to their location and left in utter dilapidated state. It irritates me. Why can we not take a lugwrench or some similar tool and TAKE parts from existing broken down cars? This simply makes no sense. Furthermore, why can we not just fix the broken down cars that are around as well? The models are all there, and more. Finally, I know that there would be a lot of parts and balance issues to work out in trying to fix up the things that I am concerned about, but I believe it to be for the betterment of the game. The map is humongous as hell as running for hours on end is not in line at all for any type of casual playing style. Overall, the current population, fixation, and element of cars is only reserved for those who either have an enormous amount of time to kill, are lucky to find the pieces, have extreme help from others. Thoughts/Criticisms/ShootmewithaSKS?

I don't really understand your kind of playstyle - This killing with no discrimination. It doesn't upset me because I know many choose to play this game like a PvP game, but I really can't wait until the Infected can climb ladders and find you haha. You oughta change your title from Survivor to Murderer :P Cheers.

Went ahead and placed your idea under a new section in my Listing! :D It's under Atmospheric Horror Additions! I hope it matches your vision, sir, and I did credit your suggestion link previous to the elaboration! :)

I've added in sections Fatigue and Atmospheric Horror Additions at the ideas presented by MrAerospace and ChrisTuds, respectively! Please let me know what you think! Comments, criticisms, and more ideas are always welcome.

I can understand where you're coming from! At the time when I wrote the idea, I was thinking of the PvE aspects of the game and just how 'safe' and 'free' you can feel if you just exit the cities and stay out in the deep wilderness. Now that I know that Predators are making their debut, I'm incredibly happy and know that this will become slightly harder. I do think it'd be rather cool to have an alternative enemy to just Infected and Predatory Animals, however, and I thought it'd be pretty wild to have a smart group of 2-3 AI Soldiers occasionally along the roads, easily identifiable, and just another aspect to deliver the horror simulation that we all wish. Alas, it's Alpha, and it's truly up to the Devs. If it's not put it, it's nothing that would detract from the core. Also, it could be easily be created by a Modder later on if He or She chooses :)

Hm. Thanks for the comments guys, it has enlightened me to a few things. I did not know the exact setting and I can understand why Devs would like to keep them rare so that it really is an achievement to have fixed up a car. I suppose I was venting a little anger before because of the many times that I've set up a car, or almost to it, it's almost always robbed before I can finish it. I wished to know how in the hell could this be so difficult when I feel like I've learned a lot else from the game. Either way, it's Alpha, and we'll see what happens! But I won't press the issue any further if this is how it's meant to be :)

HAHAHA! Oh no! I'm so sorry! xD

Hahaha man. This is why I don't go to the NWAF. People camp and go crazy. Good on you for showing those mooks up. Too bad you didn't have a grenade xD

Definitely man! I plan on updating it a bit more today with some goodies and I'll be sure to add yours into the Infected Personality section and credit you and your suggestion link ^_^

After reading this description, I'm dropping all other server types for any kind of chance to play here. I am exhilarated that this even exists! My message is sent and I await reply! I've been RPing and LARPing for a good 7 years now and cannot wait to see how I can interact here! You'll all meet "Brother Espa", the American Orthodox Monk whose flight has crash landed in the waters nearby! He'll try to make sense of things, of where he is, of the virus. . Of his faith. SO excited!

Wow. Well then. The more you know :) I appreciate that information, guys. I still believe points 1, 3, 4, and 5 are still valid and need to be addressed at some point.

Huh! I rather like this idea! I was thinking much of the same today while I played. . Having littered corpses everywhere to simulate a lot more horror. . But your idea expands on that much more and could mean that some could simply be 'passed out' and when a player happens by, they raise up and go charging because they need to eat/drink/survive on you and your goods. . Very good :D

Yeah man! I dig your vids! Keep'em up! :D . . Bet he was pissed Lmao. :P

Interesting. . I wonder why on a Private server that I am seeing this occur so often. . Could it really be that they're all being stripped, even if a vehicle has clearly spawned within the last restart and I happen upon it within minutes of my arrival? That seems far fetched.

I come across barren cars with absolutely no goods in them all the time. . If they are being stripped, that is one thing, but to completely find every single type of vehicle and it be a mere shell of what it needs to be is just crazy to me. I tested this multiple times today after server restarts on one that delivers high loot and vehicles. And yes, I do mean the static vehicles. I don't understand why these would be so trashed that every single part of them, in every single one, would be totaled to the point of ruination. It begs the question, How long have normal humans been outside of Chernarous to see this kind of rust and destruction of vehicles that should remain at least semi-viable for a few years.

Hahaha Karma, man. Beat his ass.

Thanks for the compliments and the ideas! As for the Katana, I laid it in the selection merely for MORE items to be found and to used - Not necessarily as the best type around, simply to add to variety. Plus, we live in an universal world. It's not a ridiculous thought that before whatever war occurred here that someone bought one from Amazon.com and had it for show. Also. . Even if it wasn't the greatest, I'd LOVE to go Kill Bill on someone or an Infected Lmao.

Bump! Feel free to add more ideas! I'd love to hear more to add to the list!

Fantastic ideas, Sir! I never thought of a grouping as such, but I think it's pan out well! I love having evolving statuses that work like this! Good job man!

Hey guys! I haven't been around long, but I've really begun to appreciate this community for their helpfulness and even the guides I've been given in game, or on the forums. This is a lovely time to be in this Alpha. As we know, .59 on Experimental has been a blast! There's Infected, there's improvements being made, cars, and possibly more items being implemented! I've never had so much fun in a game that is in a state of flux. Now. . It's true we all wish everything to optimized in .59 so it goes stable and we can truly begin to set up communities on servers. . But here's my question to you! What changes/improvements/implementations would you most like to see in .60 Experimental?

Cool video man! I really like exchanges like this - It's definitely more fearful playing by yourself and running into multiple geared people, but you put on a good show! Thanks for having humanity hehe.
