Hello fellow survivors and scumdicks, been playing DayZ for about a week now, and can't express in a coherent manner how much I love it... Nothing has raised my heart-rate quite like this game (I'm not much of a stairmaster guy). That being said, my suggestion is that if/when this game goes full retail, they package it with a heart-rate monitor to keep the players safe from heart attacks and the like. I nearly pee myself every single time I see a player in the distance, or see a running "THING" on the horizon. Christ-almighty, this game is CRAZY stressful. SO: Heart-rate monitor in box, kthnxbye.

Awesome sauce, good tool, and thankyou for your time and effort.

Wow you're narrow-minded. That is my reply.

I would like the LONGEST LIFE (PLAYING TIME) to be noted, recorded, and fought for. ME and a group of 10 are working hard to keep ourselves entertained AND alive in hopes of beating the record once we know what it is... I heard rumors of the record life being 9 days.. I wanna go for gold... Please post this info!!! And convince the site devs to post this record!

I want more.. Please post more... THANKS

PM me for mumble information. We play LATE NIGHT (EST).

PM me for a community mumble server for all PC gamers. We have a group of about 15 dedicated Dayz players who play LATE NIGHT (EST) which may or may not line up with your UK times... We do however play on US servers so, bare in mind the lag you may receive if you do plan on playing with some Americans. Be safe out there, and if you are interested. Just PM me for the Mumble information.

I'd be willing to help later tonight. between 12am-7am EST.

Thats the right side....

These "peripheral vision" indicators (I've been referring to them as my Left/Right audio indicators) are completely fine left in game. Rocket mentioned that he wanted the most minimal HUD possible, using subtleties to que the player that something is near, needs doing, etc. At the same time, he said he needed to have things available to make the game playable to players who perhaps listen to music, or play muted, or perhaps don't have surround sound. So when I hear a zed in my area, I instinctively turn my head (alt+mouse look) to scan the area with my ears (peripheral dots), to find out in what direction the threat is coming from. This is NOT a matter of being able to see through walls. It's being able to differentiate left and right hearing. THIS SETTING SHOULD BE ON ALL SERVERS. HOWEVER: The only terribly wrong thing with the system, is that it makes players a GREEN dot... players and zeds should not have different colored dots to represent them... just as animals aren't separated from Zeds.

PM for information to gain access to my mumble server. We run a group of about 15 survivors. All available to help like-minded, relaxed but serious survivors. We shoot out of defense, and help those who contribute to the group.

PM me if you'd like to join our mumble group. We have about 15 players playing overnight EST. PM only for the mumble info. Good luck out there survivor.

Same story, different name.

Good shit dude... good shit.

I would

This explains how everyone should have reacted to the OP. Essentially. If you agreed with the OP, you're just as misinformed as the OP when it comes to the design intent for the game. Search the forums, look for ROCKETS posts... AND NO ONE ELSES.. REad... learn... absorb... THEN create valid suggestions that won't get you laughed out of your parents basement.. I personally LOVE my parents' basement and wouldn't want to get laughed out of there.

Was filling out the terms... however you need more "Contact me" options. Mumble, Ventrilo, TS3, Xfire, Dayz Forums etc etc... MY group uses mumble because we're not kids who need everyone to hear us all the time on skype. =p Very useful tool, I will use it as soon as it has Mumble in the options. =D

9000 fps

LOL Christ... the first idea was fine.. then you started talking about having sex and sprouting little post apacalyptic children. I laughed hard at work and got yelled at... Is this first person, zombie survival SIMS EDITION? You should never bring up that idea again, WOW that was retarded...Marriage is a government sanctioned ceremony to get some benefits. NO GOVERNMENT? NO MARRIAGE!

WILL NEVER GET IMPLEMENTED. STUPID IDEA. GET OVER IT. ----- Reasons: Too many to name. Skills? The skills you gain in this game come from experience... Experience isn't gauged on a white bar of numbers... no its gauged by time spent learning how to survive. Every life you live, you live it longer, harder, and more efficiently. Every death, brings a longer life. This leveling system idea is -for lack of a better term- FUCKING STUPID.

cans can be opened without a knife. oops.

I 'lol' hard when people want to use skype for gaming.

Name of post: "Farewell...." OP says: "Next time I'll do this..." I say: You're upset... we all understand... We have ALL been there, and if we haven't ... we will... but please, put this under Dayz Stories... This is a story... and you stating you're quitting the game because you died is just the most whiny thing ever. I'd love for you to come work with my team, and I welcome and encourage you to. But if you die, like we all have, and rage like this... no one will want to work with you again... and you will become a KoS target.. So from a 6 day-in newbie, welcome to Dayz.. and I hope your future adventures are more rewarding... (they won't) YOU WILL DIE. It's just a matter of time, and how you spend your life.

1) If you are going to post something that 'sounds' informative, and seems to have a paraphrased version of the Devs words... then supply some information to backup what you said they said. 2) Making tents attached to characters is idiotic.
