We bleed in this game when hit by bullets and zombies. It would be cool if we also left bloody foot prints, so others can follow the trail.

here we go the engine experts are again replying.... let the programmers worry about the game engine.

is there some update I'm missing? I'm not seeing ANY servers using the six launcher....

Yes the ultimate horror show, imagine a guy in a hockey mask coming at you with a chainsaw! We should have masks, as other have suggested like gas masks which serve a purpose, but we should also have pure vanity items like the hockey mask just for the fear factor. Also it would be great to have commando style face paint. Also, is there a plan to have a custom character creator when you start? So you can pick hairstyles, eye color, skin tone etc?

Playing at night works really well if you know how to use flares and chem lights/flashlight. Much safer at night then day time, zombies see less, you are monochromatic to NV and if you throw a flare invincible. It's 10x harder to spot and snipe players at night unless you have heat scope, in which case flares work really well as a counter. Night is fine, just learn to play it.

Yes but ONLY if the chainsaw is ON. Most likely you will not be carrying an active chainsaw.... but once you start it up it turns into a gore fest!

I lose my stuff even without hackers just by logging on..... so as I see it it's an alpha, just because you found a DMR doesn't mean you own it, after all everything is temporary in an alpha. You would be much better off reporting bugs and filling out those boring hacking reports to help the developers. Crying about hackers only validates their activity. Learn the map, identify key locations and explore the entire map. Don't worry about your stuff so much, sooner or later everyone has to respawn, including the hackers.

Sharpen shit.

I would also like to see gas masks in game. They prevent infection and make you look more menacing.

http://dayzmod.com/forum/index.php?/topic/36203-suggestion-for-close-combat-weapons/ +1 I had this on my list of goodies as well.

Yes!!! Genius about the flame thrower balancing. +1 Love the barbed bat finally gives that item a less annoying usage. It would be cool to have a chain whip "Castlevania style", to break bones and crush zombies. Also I really like using weapons to knock people out by hitting them with the butt of a gun, so many great ideas!

Go back to wow. Now!

come on people +1 for flame throwers! Burn them Zeds! :)

I don't need a heat map to tell me that 1. Electro 2. Cherno 3. NE Airfield 4. Devils castle are the top 4 hot spots. There is already a heat map it's based on loot, players go where the loot is so if you want to avoid running into other players, bring a hunting knife, matches, a bottle of water and a hatchet. This simple setup should help you avoid towns for months and other players! See how much fun you have in the woods alone.

Hey before you leave can I have your stuff?

seriously no one wants a flame thrower or a chainsaw???

We have bandages, we have bear traps, etc.... What about DUCT TAPE! Yes! Duct tape has multiple purposes!!! 1. Use as an alternate to bandages. 2. Use to tape a flashlight to ANY weapon. 3. Use to tie bandits and leave them. 4. Use it to trip zombies and players. 5. Leave a custom message for players by taping it onto a wall to make words. 6. Use it to measure distance. Multi purpose tool! Ping this thread if you want duct tape! +1

baseball bats are not very rare, katana maybe more rare but I know people who have them in liquor stores, which makes me think we should have molotov cocktails. let me add that to my list.

I got another good one! Tie a flashlight to duct tape and hang it from the ceiling, hit it and let it swing around. Wait for someone to see it and show up. You can also shoot at your flashlight from a distance to make it "move". We need more traps, bear traps are nice but we need more "crafty" traps... rambo style.

I like the shoelace idea too good suggestion. You have a brain after all you're not a zombie!

paper would take years to degrade on it's own BUT, what if you made it degade based on actions? if you are hit by Z they can tear it, other players can shoot you and you can bleed on it making it harder to read. If you roll on the ground or go prone it crumples it or addes stains, if it rains for a long time and you're out in the woods the ink smears and the paper can tear.

Why not! Weeeeeeeeeeeeeee

1. Bandages need to be sterile? It's a zombie apocalypse, your chance of dying from an infeccted wound is much less then dying from zombies, if anything duct tape could be used to slow down bleeding or put pressure on your wound to slow down blood flow.... you didn't really think it through so please stop posting. 2. Oh hang on you're a developer now, you must know everything about the internals of the game engine... ofcourse! 3. Everyone but you would use this, when you don't have a weapon you can tie a bandit take his loot after knocking him down. You could also drag him into the woods.... and use your imagination.... evil grimmace. 4. And this is a problem how? 5. Again you seem to know a lot about the engine... why don't you let the developers worry about the engine ok genius? 6. I would explain it to you but your brain might explode from my brilliance, simply not enough bandwidth for you to handle more awesomness.

Totally agree, zombie % should be based completely on number of players killed for each player killed 10 zombies spawn for that player, they like shooting so give them more targets. THe more you kill people the higher your zombie spawns. This is not to discourage PVP but to make it more challenging.

lets team up! PM me for server details!
