Possibilty for a paper map, I like to mark down choppers on my map to show possible spawn locations and also vehicles, but it comes up as a global marking as if we all have connecting digital maps. Having a paper map with private markings would increase the use of markings and more valuable when looting off a bandit. Also with these 'digital' maps players spam marking to write offensive language.

I notice when you fill a Canteen and drink from it, you drink the whole lot of the canteen. My proposal is to be able to drink from the canteen in 2 or 3 uses. I know soda cans are cans and you cant really transport them once opened but the canteen has a lid and I think it's more realistic to have multiple uses. This would make the canteen a little more prized and practical. Just as a survivor you sip a canteen and reserve your water rather than drinking the lot, and i know theres plenty of sodas and ponds to refill its just a subtle change.

Sounds a great idea for the future... hate to have to code it into the game =)

Yes uberwolfe, my bad for not checking first - good thread =). to make it less easier, only spawn canteens at army bases and not in towns and lower the spawn rate a bit, turns canteens into a valuable item.

Yes they're instructed to shoot on sight, but i'm a survivor i'm not supposed to know that, I see a chopper and army men, survivors would run to them looking evacuation.

Wish I never read this, getting kind of excited now over the thought =) Screw downed choppers for loot, wait for the Rare Event (4-6 hours) of a Chopper inbound with troops and loot, would turn into a free-for-all with people from all directions heading to the chopper. But then again would you be running over to them asking for help or would you really try and shoot them if it happened in reality =)...

1. I'm in favor of this, though, somehow if you could get it to work that you can only disconnect out of combat (no infected around) or if your not bleeding to stop getting shot and logging out before dead. 2. Good thought although, when DayZ gets busy, you have to wait for a spot to get into the server to play your character =/ therefore you end up with 20 different avatars per account 3. I love the horde zombies idea, a horde of zombies spawning and plaguing the roads from town to town rather than just spawning in a town. IF the 2 can work in conjunction with each other. 4. DayZ are adding in melee items as it seems, love the degradation idea, would also love it to be on guns also, maybe guns jamming a few times on lower % durability, barrell cracks or trigger mechanic stops, huge option for repair system e.g combine 2 of the same guns together (m1911 at 20% durability combined with m1911 40% durability to increase the gun to 60% etc and if gun is below a certain % its rendered useless increasing the need for a toolkit for screwdriver as the repair etc? 5. I think theyre working on the molotovs, just fixing the particles as it drops framerate but the idea of crafting to that extent and using your imagination could be excellent to create alot of items, making the best of what you have. 6. You can create a base of sandbags and barbed wire, though gun emplacements, carrying the minigun from downed helis would be fun =) 7. can you not destroy them with a toolkit? never tried 8. Don't know about becoming a zombie because that means your dead, but increase the chance of getting infected it seems low, and the longer you are infected without antibiotics, release a code to automatically fire the equipped weapon as a stage of the infection (losing your mind) which would make it more of a threat to get infected, as being in a town when infected could be devastating if it can trigger your gun being shot. Also make the infection spread if near another survivor for an extended period of time, let's face it, if one of your company is infected, your going to want to stay away. Hard times. 9. Would mean a lack of servers, this is only alpha at the minute 10. Goes without saying, i think theyre working on it as always.

Hi, i've a bug to report but when i create a new thread and post it will not show up in the bug report forum, any reason why?
