If I remember likely, Rocket was inspired by 28 days later. Go watch that, then realise how terrifying the idea of running infected is. The very fact they run intensifies the game incredibly, in a city you can't simply run everywhere, too many Zeds and the possibility of being killed by another player makes sneaking vital. You'd take away the stealth and intensity that this game has strived to create, and inevitably make the game boring.

Disable 'alt' for the ability to look around whilst in 3P. I use 3P when I'm in the open, in towns and buildings. 1P becomes useful

Oh god no, the last thing we want is a 'consolisation' of this game. It would be so watered down, it just wouldn't be the same. The 'you can add a keyboard to a ps3' is such a daft argument as it completely ignores the already intensive hardware usage is PC users must put up with (that's not a negative thing, BTW). Arma already requires a powerful CPU to run, not something the consoles can deliver. I also think if the game is to be ported to a console, then you MUST purchase Arma 2: OA and Arma 2 to play the standalone, as many of us had to do on the PC version. 1) it would be unfair on PC users if consoles got it cheaper. 2) more income for BIS = more badass games in the future 3) I dislike consoles. (Not a valid point, just my opinion xD)

The whole concept of this game is to be anti-social. It's not really the type of game you log on to play to chill, as there's constant suspense. You're not meant to live an infinite life, you will die and you'll probably die sooner. It is down to the player to change how they adapt in-game, don't cry because you're dying quickly then run to the forum and say it needs to change. Those that are surviving the most are searching for groups online to play with, perhaps you should do the same.

Your attitude for a start. And OP glad its sorted.

Sounds interesting. The developers over at Project Reality have their own version of Mumble, perhaps something like that could be incorporated into the game, but some additional items are required for it to be entirely functional.

I would love a bicycle, I wouldn't mind bombing down some hills for fun to add to the game :D

To save the human race, we must repopulate!

I don't get this anti-hardcore shit some of us get. Arma was a war-simulator, meant to be ultra hardcore....I thought the premise of this was....survival simulator...

Finally some sensible suggestions, which AFAIK, haven't been entirely covered. Zed speed is a common complaint, and I kinda of sympathise with it. However I do enjoy the 28 days later feel it has, just the bloody AI paths are literally all-over the place. Line of sight, however, I agree. However, if it's possible begs to be answered.

DayZ: One man's improvement, is another man's downgrade.

I have a legitimate question. Are you serious?

Wording in your posts makes it seem other wise{ "I bought Arma II for this mod so in essence yes". This isn't really a 'social game' considering Arma was meant to be a simulator, whilst you can be social on it. The modification was designed to be, if anything quite anti-social in the sense it's meant to be brutal. Perhaps you could arrange meeting points at specific times, log on a few hours before hand, see where you are then make your way there.

LOL, UMAD? Hide your campsite better, simples.

I assume that means you MUST demand and have those demands delivered because you bought the game specifically for DayZ' date=' right? [/quote'] Let's try to keep this on topic guys. These forums are filled with enough flamers and pointless arguments. I'll refer you to the larger body of text (2 paragraphs on the subject) below that specific segment of my post. At the moment, I honestly think there's more important things to worry about, other than spawn points. For example, stopping those bloody D/Cers. Had one of the idiots do one on me today just as he was reloading and saw me approaching with my shotgun...:(

You know the survivor skin to begin with; the one you see maybe different to what others see, so I don't know how this will work too well.

You say all this like it's absolutely piss-easy to do, and that you're the only one who's suggested it. Fuck no to selective spawn points.

I assume that means you MUST demand and have those demands delivered because you bought the game specifically for DayZ, right? I find it absolutely absurd that people are coming on here and pretty much demanding for changes simply because they bought Arma 2 just for DayZ. You've bought a game, and given a free modification. If you don't like it, get a refund then find elsewhere. Selecting where you spawn will kill the anticipation and the anxiety of not really knowing where you are, or how you're going to get somewhere. It will mean people will just spawn in x, y and z locations leaving others vacant nothing going on which will in effect close off certain areas of the map. In some cases, in my personal experience, spawning in the town the very south-west part of the map meant it would be safe and quicker to travel to Zelenogorsk. But, this places is still very unpopular with people, if anything. Spawns should be more random, and cover a larger space of the 225km playground we have at our disposal. Another thing about the whole "I want to play this socially" Fair enough, I can understand that. The primary issue is the very basis of the concept: brutality in survival. You're dumbing down this brutality with your demands for selective spawning. If you can choose where you're going to spawn, I can guarantee you, that your survival plans or whatever plans will be virtually the same every single time. You'll remove the spontaneity out of it, and alas get bored of it and probably move on. No lose for anyone really here, other than those who legitimately enjoy the spontaneous spawn points and then having to explore. What DayZ really needs isn't selective spawn points. But much more spawn points to begin with which are selected at random. More inland, more to the west coast, more to the north etc etc.

N'aww, you died and lost everything? I was on Day 14, with some mad stuff that I loved. I got killed, big whoop, I went on to kill the bastard that killed me, and enjoyed exploring other areas I didn't in the first time.

OP, any update on this?

Oh no! ps1 style graphics? :( awh....i guess that just ruins the epic gameplay...

I'm playing DayZ, not 'STALKER' or 'Fallout 3'. If I wanted to join factions in a formal way, i'll play them. + there's probably atleast a hundred of these suggestions now.

That flashlight would be useless during the day. Only 1 bandage and 1 magazine. Hopefully this would put people off going on a CoD style rampage and actually scavenge, and consider what they do in towns/villages/cities.
