Ohhhh, you're right! Contanimated zones! I wonder just what that will entail. . Perhaps a virulent disease that's airborne and affects the player if not using a gas mask, or a protective suit! Not bad ideas above. Still, even with the distorted shading being borrowed from the grass and such, I would love it if this was an effect to stay. Imagine consequences from an invisible Rad Bar and being able to find a Geiger Counter, as well as Treatments for Rad Poisoning! Not to mention the neat visual effects we would get to see ^_^ Yellowish/Greenish Clouds with perhaps a constant lightning and rain storm that passes through delivering Rads. -- Or it could be acid rain, but that's not as fun haha

Great 1PP Server to play on! :D

I also like this idea quite a bit :D Keep all the Apple trees in the first sliver of the Coastal area, as well as have grocery markets bursting with food -- But almost no firearms to be found! Second sliver gets basic guns and a little less food - (More Deer and Chickens) Third Sliver gets decent weaponry and only huntable animals (Including Wolves) Last Sliver has no food except Wolf Packs, but has all the insane weaponry!

Hehe I thought about this as well! Zombies making human footsteps gets me anxious occasionally, as well as there be a distinct sound of like a pinecone hitting the ground that sounds like a light step! That one always gets me a little worried. . But anyway, the topic of this subject is actually a good one! We should be trying really hard to figure out if someone is there, biting our tongue in fear or anxiety if people are actually around or if your mind is just playing tricks on you xD

Actually, it seems there is some nuclear presence as Tisy is going to be made Radioactive, stated by the Devs! There's also going to be Radiation Showers to purge yourself as well as protective gear such as a Hazmat suit! This is all open to inspection on their trello! https://trello.com/b/5yzeFpo2/dayz

Acting pretty hostile there for a game that you're spending time on in their forums. . Maybe play the game and stop bitching, eh?

There is a locking system, actually. They have lockpicks in game that you can use to lock doors already, as well as Barricading/Constructing becoming a thing soon in Beta.

They would have to expand upon the map if they wished to add Caves or other Underground areas - Or they'd have to remodel content already to do so. The interesting thing is, the ground levels would have to be configured to either some kind of pit, or they would just place rocks on top of the ground structure. If they do decide to do so, it would be pretty neat I am sure, but they have a lot of great things they could do even before this - Like a Boating DLC that gives a larger island to the south of Chernarus (Utes)

Well thought out post! I agree and like the ideas of fixed magnifications for realism and making scopes feel more specific.

Finally get to play again tomorrow since I'm off work! Will probably want to trek with some good friends or even some new ones if anyone wants to tag along! I'll probably see what Rene is up to, if he wants more shenanigans ^_^

Aww great SR guys! Can't believe Beta is fight around the corner! Also, I'm totally in the BarelyInfected video! So awesome of Rene to share that story :D Great guy!

I'm 25 and have been playing the game on and off again for about a year and a half, always trying to stay in touch with news and such. I play from a morally grey perspective as I just don't trust many over the Internet and can say my Kill-notches are above 50, though I don't seek to poop on anyone's day - Just happens! I'm ultimately very optimistic about the game and appreciate the regulars keeping this place maintained :) Edit: US resident

I really like this concept, HOWEVER, I don't think it should enter into the realm of Killing your character if you log off under poor conditions. Instead, I would say have their gear pay the price for inactivity, as well as placing them into a Hunger/Thirst zone of immediacy. The reason I don't like the killing part is we don't know about Disconnects, or how much time would elapse for these to take affect, but I could see it being hella frustrating for NEW PLAYERS who finally figure out the game, log off randomly to go attend life, come back and their first beloved character is dead because they logged off in the forest. There would have to be a lot of specifics for this to work. . Warning message as you log off to tell you possible consequences Time elapsed to take effect Way more tuned weather effects and bodily changes would help

I'm with the idea, for sure! One thing that I'm a little worried about is the value of the Walkie-Talkie, where even starting with one won't warrant a player to just throw it out of his/her inventory right away - However, I do think there are steps in order to make them much more appealing and nice to have! Long lasting batteries (No brainer and more convenient for players) Lower-end radios to start with every player, with higher-end radios to scavenge in the wilds that have perhaps a GPS system for locating oneself on a digital map of Chernarus. New inventory spot reserved for radios! I thoroughly believe that if Walkie-Talkies were given their own 'place' in your inventory isle to rest, like attaching them to your belt rather than anywhere else as to never have to sacrifice the inventory space for it. With the .62 update, I'd really like to see this in action, even for testing purposes.

Ahhh, all of this looks so great :D I can't wait to try out .62 and try all this stuff! Here's hoping that server performance is bombtastic. As for radios, I think that's not too bad of an idea! If everyone started with one, I'm pretty sure most people would turn it on and give it a try. . Or scan and listen for other's locations. . ;D All for that ^_^ So. . We looking at Friday? Eh? Eh?

If you want to join a new RP Server with an old community starting this Saturday (Week from now), come to http://aftermathdayzrp.com/portal.php and check out their new Arma 3 stuff! Pretty neat people, good friends from old communities come together.

They aren't zombies, despite the common usage of Zed. If compared to anything, they're the Infected from 28 Days Later :) Which in my opinion is way scarier! As for custom zeds, just wait for modding! There'll be everything under the sun, then. I am in agreement that Night time should be tense as hell, in some form or another! I'd prefer the wolf packs just quadriple in population and stretch out to the south as well. They're strong and scary already and night hunting makes perfect sense.

Exile :)

As much as I hold out for positive development with DayZ, I feel like a lot of people feel this way - that things need to be done now. I think that even the Developers know this, as they have stated in such language that they know that SRs and Words won't do much to appease the masses - that work will need to be shown. Unfortunately, this company is not beholden to us who bought their game and their progress is at their own pace. If the game ends up coming out 5 years from now, that's their prerogative. But, it's Alpha. . So if you don't enjoy the game now, come back in a few months and don't worry about it. I have no doubt that DayZ will blow us away when they release their BETA.

Hey guys, I know we all probably have a grand idea and design for the Medical System of DayZ, but today I just wanted to look at the most basic of the Medical Practices we do in game and how we should fix them. If you're Bleeding, you use a Rag - Or sew it up, but it may give Infection. - Rags are what we use 99% of the time when we get hurt and I find that to be so lame when there's a lot more in this game that could be used. For instance, if you're shot - You just use a rag to fix it. That is so far from realistic that it's just dumb xD My suggestion is to only allow rags be used for Splints/etc - Forcing players to sew themselves up and be at that risk of Infection so much more, or be forced to find bandages in hospitals. This would not only make the game much harder for everyone, but it would also raise the value of Medical items by a considerable amount. It would also give value to Alcohol Tinctures, which need to be used to cleanse the sewing kits/bandages to not become Infected. Lemme know what you think! If this makes the game too hard, or yada :)

Greattttt roleplay!! I just joined this community on their website http://remnantsdayzrp.com/ and went through their easy application process! Come Beta, everyone's going to want a Private RP server to ACTUALLY play on! These guys have great potential :)

The most we know is that it will likely come out this year, as the Devs have stated they wanted to have 2 Big Updates this year. I assume that is .62, and .63 (Beta). Who knows how far along we are at this point. . But if you are getting frustrated, it may be better to just play another game for the time being until it comes out. I do that often.

Appreciate it! :D I'll go ahead and go through the app/process, as most places that are worth it have these! You guys look like a fun group ^_^

What server was this? :D I love RPing in DayZ!

Just. . One question. . When do we get the. .
