It needs more tactical nukes too.

I will have to say no too. Because if you know how to do it in real life, why should you have to read a virtual book about it in DayZ? It wouldn't be realistic for one (reading a book in a second and then instantly knowing how to build a reactor - F that). Neither would it add to the game in any intuitive way. It would just be a superficial nuisance thrown into the mix, just to make things more complicated than personally I think they should. Leave that for the Fallouts and Elder Scrolls of the world to use.

You know, like the ones kids play with and have the orange colored stripe at the end. When you shoot them they have a puff of smoke come out, BANG! BANG! BANG!, and then nothing. IDK I think it would add some variety; maybe only be able to find them in apartments/cafes/school. Imagine shooting it just to scare someone off if they get too close to you, when you may or may not have a real weapon on you. F**K with people's heads Dirty Harry style "Do I only have a fake gun, or do I also have a REAL gun?! Go ahead. Make my day motherf**ker!!." *I'm talking about CAP GUNS* http://atomictoaster...6/cap-gun-2.jpg

Well no not recently. Though I also had an idea for building a tree house, hmm.

Yeah I see what you mean. Though I imagine this having more than just a strictly practical (conventional?) use in the sense one could use it to bait another player (whom may have pals waiting in the bushes) by maybe shooting at him from around the corner. He then thinks you only have a toy gun, thus letting his guard down. And then you take out you're real gun/hatchet/call buddy and then ??? PROFIT. Think MacGyver. Plus it could be an intuitive new learning experience between survivors, like for example: Survivor 1: Holy SHit!! Did you just hear that?? INSIDE THE CHURH! Survivor 2: Yeah, don't worry it's just a toy gun. Survivor 1: Really?!?! Shewww, I thought we were heading into trouble or something... Survivor 2: Well toy guns don't shoot themselves you know. Survivor 1: Then why the hell would he be using it? Pshh, he must be a newb then. Survivor 2: Just don't let your guard down mate. Survivor 1: Whatever brah, I got dis *Goes into church* OMG NOoOoOOOOO! *Dies from gunshot/hatchet wounds* Survivor 2: Haha, noob. It can also be used for psychological warfare which can either be practical and/or comical. Sneak up behind noob, unload the pop gun on him, and watch him run around aimlessly like a headless chicken, lol.

Yes (I meant cap guns).

As long as it is not COD level blasphemy I'm all for it.

you're* :P

Well it would add to the realism. Plus if Dawn of the Dead could do it...then why can't DayZ?: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YXhrFAEprsw

In related news, QQ'ing on the DayZ forums now down 90%.

Great, this just made the game 10x harder. Thanks (not sarcasm).

But at least it will re-balance the playing field for a while.

I vote wipe it. It is in need of a good wiping so as to get all that crap (duped sniper rilfles, nvgs) out of there.

If this works for realz this time, then I will name my dog after you Rocket :P :beans: .

Not true. I'm not a hacker and I think barbed wire should stay. It's easy to get around barbed wire, be a man and look for a damn toolbox you baby. OR if you're REALLY bothered by it, then just server hop. No need to take out barbed wire on the basis of a couple of crybabies saying it's not fair and only beneficial to the haxxors. However, could barbed wire be improved upon and made less glitchy? Hell yeah - as with most things in DayZ.

Removed permanently? NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO, I love barbed wire. It is one of those features that defines DayZ for me - the ability to build! But if you mean remove them now, only to be improved on and then added in later...then yea absolutely go right ahead. But I'll sure miss it :*(

"Radio" silence?? Please tell me Rocket is hinting at radios being in the next update!!! IWANTTOBELIEVE

I will search Cherno and bring you back more beans dude. This is ACE!

WHY AREN'T YOU RELEASING 1.7.3? I PAID FOR DAYZ! YOU MUST SUBMIT TO MY DEMANDS NAOOOOO /s

Can we get a guess-timate as to when we might receive 1.7.3? :) 1 more week? 2 weeks? A month perhaps?

I haven't played Journey, and I'm sure all the praise it has gotten has been well deserved. But this right here is more than just a broken mod - it is a game changer. I never thought a zombie game like this would have ever been possible for at least until another console generation, or two. As a kid while playing Resident Evil 2, I remember imagining what the perfect zombie game would look like, and DayZ is surprisingly close to my childhood vision. It also (almost singlehandedly) proves that PC gaming is not only NOT dead, but is alive and flourishing. So with all that said, if you still think that DayZ doesn't deserve the award, then there is something wrong with you.

It's labeled as nominee, "DayZ Mod for ArmA II (Dean Hall/Bohemia Interactive)". Note the word "MOD" in there.

I don't think dogs will be capable of being anything but firendly. Though they can also be neutral in the sense that they'll run away from you if you don't have meat to tame them with? Pretty barebones mechanics, but at least it's a start.

What a douchebag, haha. Good try though!

This is pretty interesting, thanks for the heads up!
