So we know how easy it is to get injured in DayZ. Heck I could never get rid of those broken bones if it wasn't for my morphine! However, what if there was an alternative to morphine and bandages? Introducing Med Kits! Now you might be thinking this will just make it easier for people to survive and blahdabla. Well you are right on the surviving part, but nobody said they were easy to find or use. Sure med kits can be used to fix broken bones and stop bleeding but there are a few catches. 1. Finding Med Kits A Med Kit is not your casual morphine, it is a very rare find even in hospitals! So if you find one treasure it. 2. Equipping Med Kits So now you got it, where is it stored? Glad you asked! It takes the place of your backpack! Why? Cause its a Med Kit! Oh I should mention it does have a certain number of slots, but only for additional medical supplies such as Painkillers, Antibiotics, Blood Bags etc... and for Food and Water. 3. Using the Med Kit Now there will be two kinds of people reading this, the ones who still think its overpowered cause it heals broken bones and magically stops bleeding and the ones who think they'll be able to play god with it. Well you are both wrong because the Med Kit can only be used by a buddy! Yep, if you have a team, whoever wears it will now (technically, not officially) be the team medic! (Of course he can still carry guns and ammo and etc because, well, he will still have inventory slots) But wait who heals the Medic's broken bones? Well unless you have some morphine or you're willing to trade bags the medic is pretty much dead until you decide a course of action that involves saving him. --------------------------------------------------------------------- And that is my suggestion I hope you liked it, if not feel free to share your opinion wether you think this would be a good idea or just an overpowered pack. Either way thanks for reading.

Seriously? Sex? I'm just going to go ahead and think this is some sort of big joke. And for the idiots that actually want this to be implemented: 1. The mod DayZ while not being directly related to Arma 2 is still considered a very well-known popular mod. Therefore adding nudity could severe the game's current 16+ rating making it an A rated game or mod in this case. 2. While adding weapons and scripting them is not so bad, you're asking for full-body animations with two entities that already have poor collision because of server lag and the mod's current alpha state to sync together in sexual intercourse. 3. While sexual intercourse is natural and realistic, there is no need and/or place for it in a Zombie Survival game considering you're never safe from the zeds and your biggest concern right now shouldn't be to have sex while there is an apocalypse happening. 4. Think of the community. Some people unlike sexually starved nymphomaniacs don't want this in a video game. Its a video game, you want sex? Go out, meet someone and fuck them. Finally I am sorry if I insulted any of you in any way but the fact that this was actually suggested makes me pissed at the fact that gamers today lack common logic to realize why SEX can't be put in a Zombie Survival Simulation VIDEO GAME. So fuck anyone who thought this was actually plausible and/or a good idea. And cheers to all the other people reading this for the laughs and silly.

No no, I'm not saying that its a full-proof way to avoid zombie attacks, its just temporary. Have you ever been followed by zombies into a house with no ammo on your gun? Maybe you're bleeding, or in need to pull out a hatchet, maybe even both! Well, here's a temporary solution that last about 30-60 seconds. Locks! Yes, I'm talking about locks you would find around factories and what not, you put them on doors and have time to prepare yourself. Also, this would drive the suspense factor helpless, trying to bandage your wounds before the horde breaks through that door. The Zombies would then take the time to bang so hard on the door they would break the lock! (because breaking doors would just be silly, I mean come on) So tell me what you think.

Thanks, I was thinking of a addon that would help the players without lowering the difficulty and making it more fun and suspenseful.

I think I get it its kind a nice, let me try to explain it for those who don't. You have 4 points when you start lets say. (You will always start with four points and will never again get a chance to use the points option) Bandage- 1 Flashlight- 1 Painkillers- 1 Morphine- 3 Map- 3 Binoculars- 2 Box of matches- 2 So you could maybe get a Map (3 points) and some Painkillers ( 1 point) or maybe some Binoculars (2 points) and a Box of Matches (2 points).

Without the loadout thing its a pretty ok idea. But you're talking about players right? Not eating zombies cause im pretty sure if you ate a zombie you'd always get a disease.

Sorry but I don't really think its a great idea. It could be done for another game/mod but definitely not this one. It just doesn't go with it, maybe a creepy zombie but not slenderman.

I just want someone to help me survive and have fun with in the game. Preferably with a mic. I mostly play on Atlanta, Florida or other US servers. I should note I like to have fun but I take things seriously when we are getting down to a mission like looking for guns or recovering supplies from a hospital. Other stuff: I have both Skype and Steam so I some ways of contact. I don't find it necessary to say my exact age but I'm well over 13. I have a mic so I can chat in-game. I try to help my teammates as much as I can, and don't get too upset about losing. Feel free to reply.

I'd like this since I can't run the game on steam.

I think this topic has been beaten to death and the starting weapon was removed for a reason. If you alert one zombie and you don't have a gun you're supposed to run up stairs climb a ladder, or a hill. Then just try again. That's realistic zombie survival. I like the game the way it is, and I don't think we need to make it easier in context of spawning with weapons. Also this teaches you to be more sneaky instead of going around and shooting zombies so you can get into that one house.

I think it could work, maybe there could be a common item like a cast that wouldn't be as effective as morphine but it would allow you to slowly heal it a bit faster.

I love the Tiers! I think its a great idea for the future. The going in-depth thing could prove difficult so maybe not but we'll see. I do really like the Tier idea, it is awesome. :D

You do know game designers can't snap their fingers and make everything come true right? It has to be dealt with and coded in the engine, and if you're talking about changing the mechanic it could take 3-4 months maybe with a mod team or 1-2 months with a full team. Luckily rocket is pretty awesome at what he does and he can update the game fast enough but the point I'm trying to make here is that its not just something you can just "do". Also, do consider that this would change the feel of the entire game. I wouldn't really like a safehaven, I would consider it pretty boring. I like being on the run and hiding from Zombies, that's the good feel this game strives for and that's why people like it so much. You raid houses for provisions cause you are on the run and you're never too sure if you are safe even with a gun, so its always a rush. But that is just my opinion.

Everybody shut up and let rocket work on the bloody update, I would like a stable release but you can't rush good things or they'll crash and burn.
