I had my roomie do up a sketch, but I realise this may not be able to be represented as such if it were to be implemented, but I think a shopping cart would be a pretty rad addition. Like the bike! No fuel! But with storage! ... it'd probably be pretty tricky with having to do all new anims, but I think it'd be a nice addition to the setting... especially if vehicle customisation comes into play. JACKED UP SHOPPING CARTS. ... also it'd be fun to see a survivor with a dog and a shopping cart. DAYZ HOBOS.

imo it's pretty awesome that they work well as they do considering arma 2, but you wouldn't have dayz without arma 2 soooooooooo the zombies are intentionally the way they are, love it or hate it. while i see that this is something that'll probably improve over time, i wouldn't be counting on any drastic changes come SA.

Weapon degradation? VIRULENT DISEASES? this is a pretty general suggestion, and i know it's 'their' game and all... ... but honestly this has me worried for standalone, and i'll more than likely be playing mods of the standalone, or just mods for arma 3 :\ I think the DayZ Dev team should take a look at youtube and see what makes DayZ so special and popular. OH THE DAYS WHEN ROCKET WOULD TALK OF COOLER BASE BUILDING, AND BEEFING UP THE VEHICLES. Diseases? I mean honestly, that's a big focus? We're talking about a zombie apocalypse here. Now I have to worry or not whether I can cook my food with adequate heat? Well, I guess I should definitely consider cutting back on all the Coke/Pepsi I drink in game, because that obviously isn't going to hydrate me... surely if I keep this sugar diet up I'll be too fat to run from the zombies. Weapon degradation goes down a bit easier than a plethora of disease. I mean, it makes sense... but it'd be pretty cool if there was a bit more modular system with the weapons. I could see this if they were all, "K GUYS, THESE ARE THE GUNS IN DAYZ. DEAL." I love the guns in DayZ. It's a good balance. You can do damage with anything. My homie DP pops people outta choppas with a mak. It's all in how you use it ;D Hard to say without it getting to be too much of a headache, but would repairing guns be like, 5% health akm + 10% health akm = 15% akm? Still, finding nothing but tin cans is pretty depressing. Finding broken guns? D: I think having to find ammo is bad enough. I would actually be down for weapon degradation if the melee system was sorted better, without having to learn it's nuances(ie stand two perfect ft. away from target to hit it). JUST A COUPLE OF MY THOUGHTS. YOU KNOW.

why would you shoot someone in the chest and not the face?

Ahhh yes, the big change in client/server. I FORGOT ABOUT THIS, and how exciting this is, too. I think with the whole base construction thing I was thinking how Arma 2 does it and all, "OH THAT'D BE EASY WHY NOT GUYS" but yeah, that's not how you keep things interesting... and I can also see why that functionality was limited to tents/wirefence/sandbags. lol. But like you said Rocket, just layin' dat foundation. Regardless, I AM PSYCHED.

:D:D:D Well, considering you're pretty much the end all to DayZ... I, glasscasket, deem this satisfactory in my books. Either way, so long as it's still a moddable experience you're pretty much guaranteed success :D Thanks for taking the time to respond, homie. PS BE MY FRIEND

... now that someone has referenced the most recent changelog let's use this as a segway to discuss how people interact with females in DayZ just to be brutally honest when i see a girl it's pretty much a given that i'm going to open fire. just like how when dogs come into the game, the dog will be the first to go. PSYCHOLOGICAL WARFARE. but on a serious note, this has been something that has been brought up quite often, and they're addressing it. (cool stuff!) my beef is that i can't be black AND a girl.

GOOD STUFF. Really, the key is balance... and DayZ has that down pretty good now. It is a bit early to get all flustered, yes. Saturation? That is not the key. EDIT: Also, in regards to your comment on my OPness: Yes, I guess you could say I am. Big things like that in the gears of it all definitely carries major 'weight' from developmental and gameplay perspectives. I am not being all, "OH NO MY DREAMS/HOPES/SEXUAL FANTASIES ARE SHATTERED BECAUSE HE'S DOING THIS INSTEAD OF THAT" ... but I unno man. I JUST GET THIS VIBE. Rocket did this whole interview with Canada.com, and I guess Zombies weren't even really apart of the whole jam anyways(which i guess it's true, they aren't) and that it was intended to have more of a survival focus. Then again most of this is just my own personal blathering and I am sure rocket and co aren't dumb.

I think you're convoluting the 'core' of DayZ. I understand survival was more your jam anyways, but is this really the way to go about it? Well thought out, I will give you that... but I think you also need to consider what DayZ truly is at it's core(now). PVP.

Wordu have you guys seen the official DayZ merch yet? The server was overloaded when I saw the announcement, and after a few tries it worked... ... but really? Hell, you'd make more money just selling the plain logo and saving on the ink. JUST WANT PLAIN LOGO, KTHX.

IT'S BACK

SO MUCH GOOD CHANGE. IN YO FACE COMBAT LOGGERERS.

for shits and giggles i decided to make a let's play of namalsk. for once i actually decide to be friendly. ohhh shhh. part 2 is being uploaded soon. WHAT WILL HAPPEN NEXT?!

NO LOVE? i thought it was pretty good :(

PART TWO OH SNAP

... but not really, at all. i make dumb dayz videos. why? just cauz' mostly just to show my friends how awesome i am. i don't really care about streaming or anything like that. so pretty much what i'm saying is that i'm looking for like 1/2 more people to 'crew' who're on at around this time(1PM/EST). if you wanna see my channel check this shit out: http://www.youtube.c...22?feature=mhee also, if you're down you should probably hook me up with your videos and such. not that i'm not down with people who don't record, recording is just proof of play. when i play i don't really care if i die. if i had fun doing it, then so be it. it's a sandbox game. doing the same thing over and over(get gear, get bettrar gear, setup camp, get vehicles, hoarde). with that being said, bandit shenanigans are generally in order. however i'm not tootoo(t) keen on killing unarmed people, but that doesn't mean it won't happen. people complain about killing fresh spawns, everyone can pick up weapons. people with weapons? ur gonna get shot. i go where the action is, and try the make the most out of my time playing dayz... i'm not an amazing player by any means, but i'm not too shabby either. so if yer down post/pm etc blah blah whatever, i am currently putting together some fun times in namalsk. i have considered doing lets plays, because i'm cool as shit, but it's hard to force myself to be THAT communicative for 'watchability' sake. i'm cool as shit. edit: i suck at forums.

+1 for contractions

... crew whore? wat?

hey listen it's not my job to decide for you. think for yourself!

i'd say that'd depend on your locale but i mean i live in canada and shit is frozen the moment it exits, so yeah. pretty fucking cool i'd say.

... and on this day, in the year of our lord 2012, we unite and form the Daisy Death Squad, so no man, woman, child or bandit will ever be subject to such horrors, far worse than any living undead. (In DDS our members will only use m67's to dispatch of their targets with)

i hate chicks jumping on the 'girl gamer' bandwagon. WHO CARES IF YOU'RE A GAMER? POWER TO YOU? GREAT NOW STFU. that being said my first time chopper flying video is wayyy moar awesome than hers, and she has 11,000 views :( tits = profit?

first life/time trying namalsk and this happens. buddy wound up killing everyone on the server, and cleared it out to about 5 people. really helped with the loading times though lol

THANK YOU FOR YOUR DEDUCTIVE REASONING. (man, sarcasm on the internet blows)

haters gonna hate. xzibit gonna give it to ya
