Any possibility for zombies having a chance of breaking their leg when chasing you over time, or a chance of them falling off a ladder while going up/down them?

I modified the DayZ logo from the loading screen. http://img542.imageshack.us/img542/5040/dayzlogov2.png

hit [shift] and [-] (the one on the num pad) then type "flush". if you do it right your game will refresh fixing the graphical glitches. I found a vid for it too. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w540x0YSBdU&hd=1 Next time look for a fix instead of ranting... just saying

I really hope something is done about this. 2 days ago my player was on day 20 (250+ Zed Kills) making an airfield run when the words "Deathmatch, Begin" appeared in the middle of the screen . Thinking to myself "WTF?" when suddenly my squad and I were telaported to a moshpit of everyone on the server killing eachother then warped back. I took one step and we telaported back to the moshpit but up in the sky and I died from the impact of hitting the ground. One of my squadmates aborted right when we first telaported (the only one of us who lived) and one aborted while falling from the sky (who spawned dead when he relogged in). Our 4th squadmate fell with me to her death. It was on US127 and the server has been ridiculously laggy (not even playable) since, as well as staying in its night cycle for over 24hrs. Im not mad about my gear (I have gear on my home server to restock), but the time i put into that character man... I wish I would've had Fraps running.

Yeah something subtle like their hat is worn backwards or they switch to being left handed, something small enough to where they look friendly but give you that "oh shit, he's a bandit" feeling

I like your ideas OP, adding to the sleeping in tents part. I would like to see an alternative tent that is bigger (similar to the medical tents) that takes up 6 slots and requires at least another person to pitch (the more people that help, the faster pitching it'd be). Then add in some kind of sleeping bag. just an idea...

May I suggest adding a smell notifier like the sight and noise ones, it would explain some of the seeing through walls issues, as well as an issue where zombies seem to be constantly looking for you even if you don't alert them (I crawled my way into a shed and closed the door, then the zombies spawning in the town slowly drifted to my location and heard/seen me through the wall when I was at only one bar). I also think that you should not lose your backpack if you go into water, there should be an option to drop your backpack to swim faster and same for running. The backpack also sometimes doesn't show my slots, as well as vaporizing your gun if you don't have enough room for it (sometimes even if you do). may I suggest a "Not enough room" notification. And maybe starting with a watch, seems like it'd be a default item. (I like the no starting weapon, keeps players friendly for a little bit) maybe add explanations as for how players were killed (bled out, ate alive, gunned down, staved, suicide, etc..) just my little 2 cents...

Rocket, any chance for changing the spawns to empty houses in small villages with the items you spawn with on the ground in front of you. Maybe a melee weapon to fight off the horde outside your door... it would add to the immersion (just an idea) also, keep up the great work

Monte, I would like to says thanks for the presets. Ive been trying to figure out how to use my 360 controller with DayZ for a little while now and you fixed my problem with one very useful thread. Im not very good with a keyboard so when I would get swarmed by zombies Id lose alot of blood trying to kill/get away from them. Now the controls are more fluent for me to handle them with minimal blood loss. As for contact with other players, I get alot more shots into them now than I did with the mouse and keyboard (even if I die I feel better getting even one more shot in them). I have been coming and going on the DayZ forum as a guest for about a week or so and I would have to say I am disappointed in alot of the users here. Every time someone asks for help with something they get flamed, even though in the registration agreement it says not to post anything hateful. Cowman is a good example of that, he asks the question why use a controller, receives an answer and keeps trying to trash the thread with a remote vs keyboard debate. I original found the post that Monte was talking about with people flaming Lucascox (simply asking if its possible to use a 360 controller with DayZ), thats what led me here... But this being my first post on here, Im sure I dont have an opinion. that being said I dont see why people have to try and discourage other people from even trying this option. It helped me and I know atleast 5 others that will be very happy that I came across this thread. Thanks Monte,
