instead just drop filled whiskey bottles at a 1 to 8 or so ratio. 1 full to every 8 empty that is. bandage and matches for molotovs and a simple painkiller and warmer for shock but add getting drunk as a side effect ( blurry screen)

bold statement with nothing to offer? should consider fixing ur mic before u can bark. good idea poor planning

the arma community is amazing. if rocket would ask he would have a finished map for every season. he would even have 1 version where everything is made of candy and gingerbread houses and even a version where it rains lava and kittens at the same time. making this is no issue. the files being too big? lmao have u played ACE? u would stop playing dayz cause its 3 gigs big? i wouldnt xD not trying to be a dick. just sayen its possible by all means with little to no issues.

how bout u start with nothing. no backpack flashlight etc. maybe with just a troll face in your inventory. would make it better

its possible and not that hard to do. ask map makers in the arma community. the creator of isla duala made a desert version as a counter to the tropical green one, just for example. doubt he made it from scratch, probably replaced building and object files and changed the texture of the ground. when u say snowy winters dont expect to sink into the ground or anything. it will simply be a white ground texture. its not as crazy as it first seems and its doable. it would have to be 4 seperate maps though and srrvers should be forced to run the same one at given times. i think monthly rotation would keep it the simplest and best.

meh polls shmolls, honesty, amount of suggestions that go in here i doubt they go off this. go to dev heavon and run up a ticket, those help so much more^^

good point, not sure if this was suggested yet. i agree, this would make things harder for the hoppers. i've heard of people going into supermarkets and hopping around 20-30 servers until they had all the crap they wanted... kinda sucks...

everything should need attention, it might make the game a bit crazy "realistic" but it would expand on the survival aspect, im talking about matches running out flashlights run out of batteries, go find new batteries knife and hatchet goes dull (sharpening should require tools and should take a good 2-5 minutes to do, if they are not sharpened gutting, getting wood and killing with the hatchet should take more time/hits) weapon needs cleaning or it jams often (good weapons cleaning can take an hr or more in rl, lets cut it down to 5-8 minutes in game) canteens need to be cleaned or they rot (happened to one of my troops in RL, he had great regret for not cleaning his canteen, 1 minute at the pond or well should be fine) meat goes bad after a while ( maybe after 12-24 hours, can still be consumed but makes player sick and gives less blood) beans are awesome (awesome sauce) clothes get dirty, smell attracts zeds from greater distance and makes animals run from you medical equipment expires (we have several "combat lifesaver" bags in our company that are UN-usable because the content expired, maybe morphine for example could expire after 48 hours) wood gets wet if its not in your back pack when it rains, takes more matches to light fire (yeah quick way around it get new wood but what if you dont have a hatchet ;) ) nvgs run out of batteries, get new ones (would put balance to it, people would conserve it rather than hunt player without it at night) all this sounds crazy but would increase gameplay. it would give people reasons to go back to towns etc. making things break/ perish would force a player to be more careful with its use and would force him into sticky situations. right now if you have matches a hatchet a knife and a canteen, you can survive in the wild for aslong as you want, no problem. would be nice. beans given ;)

suggested so many times man, im all for it but you should've just revived another thread.

please, for the love of video makers, bring back all features for the editor. im no longer able to spawn in any type of units into the editor, it pretty much turned useless as of right now. i was in the middle of a huge (i mean huge as in im actually paying money to finish this project huge) project to make a dayz mini series (with voice actors, sound studios, visual effect studios the whole 9). now i cant continue my project because the editor is useless. from what i understand this is a try at stopping people from spawning in unwanted shit? but at what cost? and im sure it will still happen somehow. please please please fix this issue, it brought my entire project to a dead stop. i dont want to roll back my game just to finish my project and not be able to play the game, i'll have to if it comes down to it, but dont make me do it :( personal appeal, fix the editor again please :(

hope these people die and go away... pisses me off. we should appeal to some other hackers to make this shit hack proof.

i like the idea of clothing causing overheating or being to cold, therefor adding clothing to stay warm stay dry stay concealed stay agile stay "normal" (not everybody has a plate carrier laying at home in case of an emergency^^) would be nice. ghillies can get hot but they are usually bdu's/acu's with some crap hanging off it, so they wouldnt be CRAZY hot, but i agree, a litte qucker thirst would give it that balance.

i imagine this thread around the time mario got released on the nintendo, probably would've looked like this "hey guys, mario should start with 3 mushrooms in his back pocket, so you dont die instantly. oh and those holes that you can fall down into, put a bridge on it so you dont die. the flowers that come out from the tunnels, lets make them fluffy bunnies that just cuddle you for a second. oh and lets start, at the finish line so we dont have to play the game." giving us a flashlight, a back pack and a bandage is a privilege as is and IMO should be taken out as soon as they fix the lighting system on chernarus. if the street lights would work they should take the flashlight so your even more screwed. giving people tents right off the bat would be too easy, again, going against the point of the game. if we givem tents we might as well add an m60 machine gun mounted on top of... oh lets see... a tank... and yes im blowing this way out of proportion to demonstrate how it all starts. i play this game mostly alone and just last night, i decided i wanted a tent, i figured out where i can get one walked straight there, found one, left and setup a camp. did not fire a single round and didnt get killed on a server with 29 people. grab yourself some patience, some common sense and some more patience and you can beast this game and then still call it too easy...

yeah god mode bro, or should i say "this allowdamage false" XD such an easy thing to script, how to get it in game no clue. what a dick hope he dies, in rl.

surrender key for the win!! ^^ knew about it never thought about it, good call.

would be pretty cool, if not a game feature at least a website feature. honestly dont even think it would mess with integrity of servers cause even after tracking somebody down to a server you still have to find him on the map^^ good luck. but great idea

check out this pic of a zombie with an axe i found, i think its a good idea. seriously, check out this pic.

(general reply here) was gonna read the whole thing but the first few posts told me all. yes they should fix whats wrong and get this SPOILER ALERT eventually they will, sometimes alpha's go forward, sometimes they go back, but eventually they all reach beta. patience will get you a long way, even in game^^ suggest to suck it up, enjoy what works and hate what doesnt.

i just went back to an older version 94876 i believe and so far so good. i got into the slot select now im just at the loading screen. hope it works ill update if it does. EDIT: tried it 3 times now. first time it was "loading" forever. second time battleye client failed to init and 3rd time "loading". so yeah, not a fix for me but maybe it works for somebody else...

had the same issue. was sneaking around elektro, even used the quick tap w glitch where it makes no sound when you move, i admit lol. anyways i heard another guy and went into a corner in the room i was in, waited for him, heard him coming, saw his rifle move through the door and it turned straight to me. i emptied an entire magazine into his face and even had time to press reload, went into the reload animation when he finally opened fire and killed me. almost certain he was haking or the mak is really just crap.

yeah got the same issue, also have a huge battleye issue. first i got to the slot selection screen then got stuck at loading. then at wait for host and finally battleye just fails to initialize. this is annoying...

got the same issue, i hope they fix it. i posted a bug report on dev-heavon hoping it will solve the problem.

sounds interesting, on that note, enforcing anything really would be awesome. imagine blocking doors inside of buildings and boarding up windows to create a safe haven, and by safe haven i mean a good spot to sit until another player sees a boarded up house and investigates just to try to kill you inside xD

fishing does sound fun, but you know what blows my mind most about the game? the search function in the forum :D

yeah, thankfully :D
