In my mind this outbreak started because of Suzanne Sommers and ironically she was the first to turn.She kept pushing her idea of hormones hormones etc as the way to be "forever young".The government went further and found a way to prolong life by blocking the gradual decline of hormones over the years.It was thought of as completely safe and many took the injections since it was just blocking of our own hormone decline and not anything like injections of artificial hormones (steroids).Problem was unforseen by many and lurked in the water supplies.Modern day water supplies are loaded with hormones due to the purification plants not being able to pull this stuff out of the water.The only liquids deemed safe is now distilled water that is used in sodas like Pepsi and Mountain Dew and ponds and lake water as they are just collections of rain water which is naturally distilled.

Well consider me enlightened.Its genuis to make them move east to west but stupid to not inform the masses.Can you explain the shadow part though.LOL I guess I am just not the mountain man type,being from NYC and all. :(

To the devs......if you change things let us know.

Last night I stumble upon a bus on a road high up in mountains.As I am searching around it I am looking everywhere to see if anyone is around.Suddenly,as I am walking to go around the bus to other side,a woman appears from the corner I was headed to and just opens fire and wastes me there on the spot.It happened so quick that my only thought before I dropped was ...oh wow a woman.

Rocket,I love the effect when your low in health and you start screaming from fear and think this idea would add to that excellent concept.I'm thinking that when your screaming in fear that the shaking you get when in pain would merge perfectly.Can also start if your taking alot of damage in short period of time even with high blood levels.Then when you finally get away from danger the screams stop but the shaking persists for awhile and slowly fades.Would add that shaky horrifed feel that living in a zombie apocalypse would surely bring. As for the pain killers,I think they could be used for something else but nothing comes to mind.Actually,maybe have it so that broken legs are just injuries instead.A normal injury requires painkillers to be able to run while a severe injury that forces you to crawl requires morphine? Finally an anxiety meter,and no not a sexual on... LOL.Think humanity meter like but instead just a face that goes green to red.When red you need to drink alcohol to bring back up or risk screaming out loud in fear when you get near zeds.If your sneaking around with high anxiety its a percentage chance to snap which instantly aggroes zeds.

That was crazy but I dont think many people would resort to that level.We would most likely shit our pants and become so depressd that suicide would be done regularly.Which got me thinking that when game becomes finalized they should put suicide victims everywhere.Laying in beds with wrists slashed and hanging from trees etc.Little kids that run out from nowhere being chased by zeds and you trying to save them. LOL,then again maybe too real is no good.

Yes,was thinking something like that with a fear icon but with less of a negative effect.Attacking allies and becoming like a zombie is intense. :( Maybe start breathing real heavy when around zeds that could increase your sound level a notch or two?Or the shaking when aiming from exertion slightly upped.

LOL,yet happens to me alot.Last life I was being chased by a group of around 10 and crying like a baby.But it has no bad effect and is just that,crying in fear.Add in the shaking and it now becomes a real effect.

Couple that shaking with the screaming in fear that is in Dayz,triggered when the screaming starts was what I was getting at when I first started post.I cant find a video where people are playing dayz and that screaming starts which is kinda strange.

It could be a few items that can combat anxiety or fear.Hospitals for the good shit and other areas carry booze and the like.

That shaking effect you added looked kool but I do not get shakes from the game though. Yes its all there already but being done at different times.First time I heard the screaming when at low health I was amazed at it and felt it polished the mod.Now if they were to combine the screaming when in fear effect with the shaking effect it would amplify the feeling and polish the fear effect even more..And to escape and the shaking slowly fades over time would be amazing IMO.The shakes in dayz right now start when you get hit at a certain level of damage and just disappear as soon as you click to take painkillers.Not very immersive. Possibly alcohol to keep you sane?Any type of relaxation would benefit your sanity.

Yes,play in first person to see how annoying it is to fight back when shaking.Couple that with the screaming effect when low health and around zeds and its perfect.I posted it because the screaming in fear would be over the top with the shaking enabled at same time that then slowly fades over time. Painkillers just do not stop my shakes,if I ever get them.They remove pain,not shaking in real life.I said maybe they can make the broken bones be fractures and sprains where if you get a sprain then painkillers and if you get a fracture then morphine it is.Could have small jumps from less than one story be a sprain and over one story a fracture.Same with zed attack severity determining sprain or fracture.

I wonder if they change spawn rates behind the scenes since I am barely surviving myself.Would be excellent way to test lower and higher spanw rates without the players going bongo over the changes.;)

Searching for Stalker Arma 2 info and stumbled upon this video.reinstalled A2 right after vido ended.

Maybe more blood loss per hit but even lower chance for debilitating injury ala broken bone.

Russian weapons have that rustic look tht fits this game better.American weapons look too modern.

This is crazy.I can just see sneaking thru Cherno thru those alleway paths only to stop dead in tracks when you spot a perv masturbating his junk to relieve his tensions.And the look of despair as they just look at you with blank expressions.Or camping out with your squad on a roof top and constantly seeing your team mates pulling their junk to quell the sexual anxiety meter.No...plz do not add this in!!

You know when your character starts screaming from fear...have it so that its a percentage to shit your pants.More zed aggro then until you find a new skin.

I think its better than whats there now by large amount.I also think the ending of the description should read "DayZ is the name of the game now,how many can you survive?".

But this niche audience seems rather large don't you think?Its a very harsh game and its selling like hotcakes.;) The hype was harsh world where its a struggle to survive.If you came and its too harsh then leave in silence please.Please do not ruin it for the gamers that have been looking for this for yrs now.Just look at all the reviews and forum posts for all the other game genres.They are saying "what happened to games,they challenged you in past and its like a dumbing down feel now",Not talking about deathmatch/strategy type games.Well Rocket and BIS are finally taking a plunge with this,and sticking to it it seems. Its bound to succeed due to above.I am slowly getting better and lasting longer and longer.Never found any matches yet or even a military weapon.This bodes well for longetivity.... make your players have to adapt to the harshness and try to survive.Its what DayZ is trying to bring so enjoy it.

I think they are seeing better in daylight is reason they aggor so easy in daytime.Are people actually writing this?No offense meant but dam,don't you think your more visible in daytime conditions?

Silly so deleted

LOVE THIS IDEA.;)

Strangest thing is happening to me.I need to install my nvidia drivers every day.My fps will be ok then all of a sudden drop to around 10 in both dayz and SP Arma2.I reinstall drivers and it reverts back to good fps.Maybe try that?

Kudos to rocket and crew.Just lasted my longest ever at 4 hours.Was killed because I am stupid and do not count ammo.Must say that now the crawlers and monkey zeds are a BITCH if you play with no 3rd person.They become so hard to spot when lying in the grass and if you pop up and they are looking your way voila!! Thanks guys for the free mod.When it comes out I'll gladly pay for it since I love this style of game.Hmmmm I wonder what they will categorize this.....Survival genre??
