Oh my, Badjr... I don't know which psychotic country you live in, but i can assure you that where i come from, people would team up against the zombies. What's the point in killing some of my neighbours for a can of beans (and then someone kills me for revenge) when we can simply work together and build a barricade to keep the zombies out and then start a small farm so we may all eat good food around our campfire and be all without troubles?

Redeem codes, reward items handed out by magic vending machines, bonus levels, ... Please tell me you are joking. :|

Let's see if i get this right: You are hungry, thirsty, dirty, beaten, shocked, bruised, hunted by zombies, shot at by bandits, in pain, bandaged, and shot up with morphine, ... With a probable lifespan of a few hours you then take your hatchet and bean can and set up a hi-tech Tetris lab in a shed without electricity or water, and find a cure for a constantly morphing virus which has viped out most of the people on the planet? And you do this by pushing colored blocks around? Sure, why not?

It would be weird NOT to find toilet paper all over the place... just sayin'

"backing it up with gold"? That was like... 80 years ago? :D

Defib should not be "another way not to die", It should be another requirement to heal people. When someone is shot, falls unconscious, and bleed... at some point he won't have enough blood and his heart will stop. What do you do in reality? - You stop the bleeding (bandage, turniquet) - You give him blood (transfusion) - You give him oxygen (mouth-to-mouth) - You try to restart his heart (manually, or defib) All this should be needed. So, harder to revive people, not easier.

That would be the entrenching tool (a small spade). They should replace "hide body" with "bury body" and make it available only if you have that tool.

It could be prevented by making the world more dynamic. Like changing stuff on the map, items, spawn points, infection/cold outbreaks, and zombie behaviour every now and then. Maybe have it change just like the weather does, but with a more complex underlying mechanism. Ponds could overflow, forests could burn down, new trees could start growing in the middle of a field, spawn locations could change, some items could spawn only at certain times of the month, cows and sheep could vanish for a while and instead there would be lots of crows in the forests, item spawn probabilities could change, major outbreaks with hundreds of zombies invading a village and destroying everything in sight, etc... and it would all be coordinated by a central server - controlled by algorithms which no player knows about.

Why do you think is was a hacker?

It is a sad fact that there are loot maps available. DayZ would have been so much better without them.

Yup, i have this problem too. Happens randomly. But i use steam, so obviously it doesn't matter if steam is used or not.

Press shift-tab?

Thanks bro, I need L85, nvg, ghillie.. oh, and a heli. pls land it in the field north of cherno.

Yeah, put together some maps and make big ass map of it. That would be sweet. And introduce some real terrain, not the flat-as-a-pancake landscape which is Chernarus. Deep valleys, dense forests, lakes - not shallow ponds, rivers, ... it should not be possible to run in a straight line across the map!

-1 No thanks, this spoils the game for me. When i am in a firefight i don't want kill messages. It totally destroys immersion and takes away all of the tension (which is what i love with this game). You should have to actually go and confirm your kills, if you dare. No killmessages. No hitmarkers. No nametags. Don't introduce bad features to combat hackers. Instead, fix the anti hacking system.

1: Deer would be my first choice! It seems strange that there are lots and lots of deer stands, but no deer. 2,3,4,5: Yes! This would make survival more interesting. You shouldn't just be able to walk out on a field with your hatchet and kill a goat when you are hungry. Too easy. After all, point #3 in DayZ is: Survival.

You can find american assault rifles, british sniper rifles, american cans with beans/pasta/sardines, german assault rifles, american soda cans, and so on... lots of stuff which does not belong in Chernarus. This is BAD because it doesn't feel authentic. I think there should be more russian/Chernarusian items, like: -- weapons: AK-47, PPSh, MP-443/444/445/446, grenade launcher for AKS-74U, -- food: cans with okroshka, rassolnik, baked milk, beef stroganoff, borscht, blintz, caviar, pashka, pirozhki, and so on... a wide variety to make you feel like you really are in Chernarus. and how about this delicacy.. :) http://www.bjorkaoddities.com/Strange%20Russian%20Canned%20Food.htm -- drinks: Tea, kvass, and of course VODKA in large amounts! -- house interiors: carpets on floor/walls, tapochki slippers in every house, religious icons (ROC) ... Also, FOOD SHOULD SPAWN IN KITCHENS, on table or in cupboard, NOT on the floor in a bedroom. In stores, they should spawn on a SHELF not on the floor. *and...* Every time you eat a can or drink a bottle, you should get an empty can/bottle. Dispose of it wisely, or someone will find it and know you were there... and zombies should be interested in all kinds of stuff you throw away, sniffing at cans to feel your scent and track you.

Some kind of pickled snake... should give you at least 1000 blood but at the same time have a chance of infecting you, i think.... :)

Tampons would be great for stopping bleeding from bullet wounds! Small (virgin-sized) for Makarov shots, and XXL for those pesky M107's... much faster than bandages, just plug it in!

Are we even playing the same game? I play this thing called "DayZ" where i don't HAVE to shoot zombies, i just do it at times when i'm in a hurry and don't want to sneak around them. Or if i have a shit load of ammo and just want to see how many headshots i can score. Most of the time, shooting zombies is just a way to invite bandits to kill you...

I don't think that's true. Do you have any data to back up that statement? I agree completely with Mr Two - you should spawn without anything and you should have hard time trying to survive. That's what is is all about.

Spawning with a hatchet means that you will be hunted down and axed to death by noobs/griefers/dumbasses spawning beside you on the beach. Being unarmed is also more authentic. Why would you have a melee weapon when you are flushed up on the beach? Having to struggle is part of the experience, or maybe you would like to spawn with a M240 and 2000 rounds? No thanks.

Jeez, man... cool down a bit. What's with all the name calling and stuff? u mad? I have played DayZ for a while now and i love it. I love they way you actually have to find out how things work, which isn't that hard unless you are a lazy ass cod fanboi or just plain retarded. No starting weapons is needed, in fact everything got better when the Makarov and beans were removed. Before that, you got killed by noobs as soon as you spawned on the beach. And as for potential players, i don't think Rocket needs to whore just to get more players. Despite your hate, it already has a million players...

Dafuq did i just read??

I usually have 4-5 steaks so i can get over the fainting limit quickly if i am badly injured, morphine ofc, water bottle, ... 3-6 primary mags depending on type (no need to carry 6 stanag or ak mags since i don't spray&pray - i'll find more before i have used up all of it), 1-2 frags and a smoke, at night i have flares - primarily against nvg players, then free slots for loot and moving around stuff between backpack/inventory That's 27 slots?? And why carry two extra sidearms? I usually have a M1911 and then i change it to PDW as soon as i find one. No need to carry multiple sidearms, well maybe if you want a silenced one... I never carry blood bags or epi-pens since i usually play alone. 2 canteens sure, but why 1 soda? i carry more steaks at night, not in daytime since i can cook more if i need it. 1-3 frags just in case i get into a fight. The rest of teh slots are free for loot.
