I love the idea of the heli crash site. A rare place that drops very rare loot, and it has become somewhat my mission in the game to go and find all this rare gear. That being said, i think this idea can be improved. I was thinking a sort of hunger games style system. The system would work as so, every few hours in the game, a helicopter would fly overhead, and drop a big care package somewhere on the map, and the location would be random. The location of the site is not put on the map, but simply the players have to try and find it based on where the heli dropped it. The care package would have both guns and medical supplies, much like the armory crates in the regular multiplayer. Not only do i think this would be fun, as it would create a massive hotspot and standoff, with people eyeing the crates in the middle of a field, waiting to see who bites on them, but this would be a realistic. It is not uncommon for armed forces to airdrop supplies to areas of the world that need them, for both food and defense. Also the possibility for airdropping other things, like some sort of car, bike or anything else you guys can think of. My idea is open to changes, just thought it would be something i would like doing and would enjoy as part of playing such a great game.

Id hate to bring up the Devil of the game industry, but maybe an approach like the Call of Duty franchise. Maybe instead of unlocking player skins you could unlock new camo and paint designs for your guns. Nothing over the top, but like an urban and a desert, that sorta thing. Id defs put in the hours trying to get a sweet looking gun

You know i appreciate you talking about professionalism, but this always comes at a cost. You need somebody on Public Relations for that, that is in this case someone missing in the server fixing department. I agree that there is a lack of info, but this is not a company, these are guys sacrificing their free time to get us playing. I'm sure they don't get rich by doing it. So you can simply not hope they will ever has as much manpower as a company, although i understand your concerns. Give it a few months, I'm sure they will get better with this stuff day by day. Fair points, although to be fair, no they don't get paid to do this, but they are smart enough to know this is in a sense an investment. They aren't getting paid now, but they will be getting a nice when Arma 3 comes around. I'd be quitting my day job if i was the team behind dayz

Is this fucking serious? Jesus christ, give us a bit of warning next time you pull a 'maintenance' during Australian prime time. Im surprised your government even allows you people to play DayZ, what with all the blood and violence. Do you guys have a version that squirts out butterflies instead of blood? Australia actually has an R18+ rating now, dumb fuck
