Doubt you'll end up being the only one playing your mod if it's true hardcore. At least check me in too lol. As long as you add permadeath with like a month of respawn timer and a system to kill the TS exploit, and and, a lot of stuff suggested around by hardcore gamers :3 Also, devs gonna introduce the approval system to avoid having people coming up with mods where you have granade launcher in the coast and 500 cars parked in cherno. Regading the sounds, i've read somewhere that they gonna add more sounds to infected, because the current one are quite old.

I would like to know what gonna be the scale and reach of the basebuilding in the game. I mean, it will be somehow limited by resources and maintenance (decaying wook/other materials that need to be regularly replaced, amount of people/time needed for building, etc) or there's a risk of seeing the map overwhelmed by thousands bases and skyscrapers in the middle of nowhere or cities. Just worrying about immersion/realism taken away by that.

This would be great! You could dress a hostage as one of your team, ductape his mouth and cover the face with a bandana or a mask, and let him loose on battles lol

You can also make your own stone fireplaces, you need 7 big rocks (need to mine them). I don´t know if it is persistent tho :/

Actually is quite easy to fix the water problem for yourself. Establish base, go to your nearest town, and try to find a gasoline canister, empty it, then go to a well, full it with water and empty (a couple of times) to avoid dying of chemical poisoning, take the canister to your place. Repeat with another one. This will have you supplied with water for a couple of days. Also when you run a town for supplies try to visit the hospital and aptment building to find some water purification tablets. One of these can purify a full canister of pond water, that you can also have stored in your base. Once I had a couple of tents in every direction where I stored a canister with water, and everytime I headed to one of these directions, I passed by the tent to refill my cooking pots and to check If i needed to take the canister to refill it in town.

Almost became a cannibal in exp the other day. Was freaking impossible to find any food when I spawned in Cherno, nor did I managed to find an apple tree lol. Was with starving status when heard some shots, and decided to die with honor and put to good use my 3 makarov rounds. Was on my way to try to hunt the player (was really desperate) but found 2 chickens on the way, so they calmed my hunger enough to get out of the city and find some apples 10min after :D. I must say that it was great to be in that situation :3

I don't think that it would just try to emulate it. It adds some immersion, same as the breathing and gun swaying. You don't have to hear it always, but if you are getting shot at, some beating would be cool. It would add to the danger sensation a little. I mean in your first pvp battles it will be useless, but later on it's all about the frags and you don't even care anymore.

I want to offer @Hicks_206 (DayZ) and the whole DayZ development team my most sincere apologies for all the negative comments I had made in the past regarding them and their work. After a gaming session in experimental branch last night, I just realized how much work and dedication is placed in every version of the game, and how was I unjust in a lot of my critiques to them and the game. I feel really ashamed for myself and the things I said. Most of them where made when I just started exploring the immense world this game offers, and wasn't aware of how hard can it be to develop a game like this. I had no Idea about what it takes to rework an engine, or how hard can that decision hit the timeline of a project. Other times I was just having some troubles IRL and when I came stressed at night to my PC, was overfrustrated about the time is taking the game to come out, then saw some people throwing rocks at you, and just followed them without thinking about it, was just projecting my anger to something else, and I'm really sorry that you resulted to be that something. I realized how hard it can become at times to the devs (and Brian specially) to get back from work late at night, after breaking their necks in an issue, log-in into the forums or Reddit, and see all that totally destructive and most times unfair critique towards them and their work. I'm a perfectionist and know how it is to show something you've done, and even among the 345345345 positive critiques get destroyed by that one negative that address an issue you forgot about, ot couldn't do anything about. Now having that multiplied by 3 million to get to your level, I must have to say that I respect you for keeping up the work at this project. You got to have steel balls to continue this path (and a good salary lol), and thanks to you for that!. Please forgive me guys for those moments of weakness that made me say bad things about you, and thanks again for all the effort and love you're putting on this project, no matter what happens or what people (idiots like me) are saying out there! P.s. I'm not drunk nor anything.

Sometimes you don´t get anything, so ...

oh boy, you just can imagine how weird will dayz become then? I mean, seriously, you have an idea of how many underage brats play it? lol Someone can make a WTF mode tho, and add all that XD

The only thing is that they try to communicate with you via bullets XD

I don't see why you even bother to reply in this thread If you're not willing to discuss it. If you like 3pp only, fine go play it. As someone said here, there's nothing wrong with only wanting to play a supposedly "hard" game on "easy mode" (yeah, was called that way originally). You made your choice, just pick the server and play. But don't undermine a polite discussion falling hevily from the sky and attacking inocent people. I will just copy/paste here the reply I gave on reddit a couple of days ago to the same question of "why we're still having this discussion": I don't believe that one's forcing some players to play a "game they don't want to", but the game they paid to play and wasn't there in the first place. Because right now is like if one goes to watch a horror movie, and have a screen to choose to skip a part whenever an horror part gonna happen. The "choice" is there, and for you it will be great to not expose yourself to that, but in the long run it will hurt both you (because of the now giant confort zone created around all horror movies) and the producer of the movies that will be now wish they never put that in there, because they now have people asking for more "soft" movies, and other people that want the "choice" removed at all, so they can watch the movie with other people without anyone skipping the cool stuff.

The base stays in the server you created it. It will be there for anyone who stumble upon it in that server only. Great progress for just 4 hours tho! :D

Yeah, make the big cities full of infected and bambi spawn points, and add the items so one has a reason to go back to the coast. Like the netting case, it's fun to hide from bambis in the beach.

Yeah, the steps are awesome! Can't wait them to fix their voice tho, atm is impossible to tell when they noticed you. 5 min ago was my last session for the week: Spawned in Cherno, didn't managed to find food at all, was running like crazy from infected hoping to hear a shot at least and try to die with some dignity trying to eat some human flesh lol. In the end found 2 chickens :D

hahaah. I was running all day long between Cherno and Electro looking for some action. So if it disconnected and I appeared in one of those cities, was ok xD. For some reason I don't trust EXP and i'm afraid that all my progress will be deleted anyways if I go inland and start looking for loot there

You can take this video as an example of how it could look in the future :3

The decision to log out is a hard one. Risk to lose your progress if server restarts, or risk to wait 20+ min in queue after you logged out to save. lol

As long as they also add to them the ability to grab you or in some way make your movements slower, everything is fine :3

They said the video will be added to the next status update. (hope it's the video tho lol)

Don't give them ideas for DLC xD. I can just imagine this: A modder makes the "Ultimate Hardcore Dayz Mod". You dl it for free, but every time you die, you have to pay 5$ to respawn, in a different server. lol

Yup, I also suggested something like this, among other psychological scales that would add some spice to the game :)

I want the possibility of opening your own burdel and kidnap other characters and make them work there :D

Wait, then the servers themselves use the "Hardcore" qualification? -.-. Ok, I take back my words.
