I imagine that a person with the gear I listed has played for 1-4 hours. There are hundreds of factors that determine how long it takes a person to find gear. Primary weapons shouldn't be impossible to find. I agree with you that you shouldn't be able to carry multiple sniper rifles around. What I am saying is that currently people have too much stuff.

I see where your coming from.

I understand what your saying. Look to Namalsk for food rarity. On Namalsk food is much rarer than Stand Alone. That is they way I think it should be. I agree that some of the items are common. In Stand Alone the loot system will be different. I don't know how it will be exactly but I would bet that highly populated areas will be picked clean and gear will not respawn as quickly.

This makes me so happy!!! Do I have a problem?

Researching the diseases on the internet???? I would much rather prefer an in-game item such as a medical field guide or a "Diseases for dummies " Book. This would add to the immersion.

Pooping is an unnecessary way to replicate disease spread. It would be much better for blood to spread disease. So many people bleeding in the big cities from getting punched by Zeds. That could replicate disease just as well as defecating could. Once someone gets sick then the area they are in could get infected for a period of time. Anyone else entering that area could get infected too. There should be a visual effect to an area that is disease ridden. In real life a person can smell disease and decay. Obviously you can't smell in a video game so a visual representation would fit just fine. Infected people would naturally infect the big cities and the country side would be safer. This accomplishing the desired effect without having people poop. Infections could spread just like IRL by travelling through air, water, and contact/proximity.

There should still be the option to end your life if you have no will to continue.

I don't understand. My suggestion was dumb or other people's suggestions?????

The respawn button button should be the "Commit Suicide" button. Your character would shoot, drown, or otherwise kill him/her self. To prevent spamming for a better spawn your character would have to below a certain blood level, have a broken leg, be sick, or be swimming. It would be unnecessarily hard for someone to spam the suicide button and this would help people in case of a glitch.

The game hardly punishes people for being bandits. Why the hell would it punish people for being good?

You are living up to your name, prophet, with this inspired knowledge. No one ever has thought of this before.

I heard that this is being addressed in standalone early on. It will be possible hopefully with the new optimizations that are being made. I like your simile too. +1

Apache25!! your back!!!! ...or maybe it is his brother/relative?!

yes yes yes we all know that this is a good idea. Congratulations on being the 1342840983209 person to think of it! You win!

These suggestions are either repeats or completely nonsensical. The repeated ideas have been shot down countless times before for good reasons. Go read the sticky suggestions thread. /thread

acid rain isn't really lethal to a person standing in it... it kills trees but that is about it. I don't think there should be earthquakes. The difficultly in PvE should come from three things in my opinion -Infected that are dangerous (currently not dangerous enough) -scarcity of basic necessities (dehydration and starvation should be constant concerns) -Disease and the elements. -Catching diseases should be a real concern whenever near dead bodies. Water supplies could be contaminated because water purification systems don't work without power. Cholera could be killer. Also malaria might be a concern. Being outside all the time would expose people to lots of mosquitoes.

I like the idea of loading the maps separately. Once you traveled distance X into the ocean you would hit a loading screen and be in a different map. It would be epic and is a cool goal for Rocket and team to work toward after the initial release is sorted out.

Oh mai Gawd!!!!

you douche.

the arma 2 mission editor is very powerful. In DayZ Mod this might work. The problem is that for SA rocket and team is not allowing any scripts and things are being done server side. I am not sure if this would limit an editor's ability.

OP should download SLX and then shoot someone with a fifty cal such as the Dshkm. Then come back to us about gore. Personally i think SLX does gore perfectly. Only heavy weapons destroy people. People bleed realistically and blood leaves realistic trails.

Get off your posts??? I quoted you one time. The guns already in Arma 2 are not ideal weapons for DayZ Mod. Your argument doesn't make sense. Read up and you will see that guns and all the goodies will be in SA, later. For the mod and for the initial alpha release the dev team is working hard on core issues like hacking and duping. Also this isn't the right thread for this so I will not reply to any more posts. I don't want to start a flame war. If you still have an issue PM me.

I will quote Rocket roughly "Don't download the update and then QQ about not being able to find a server" *facepalm* The focus is definitely not guns right now. The focus is fixing critical bugs and pushing out new features to be tested. Once Beta hits and things are relatively calm them they can focus on new guns. Alpha is for putting in new things to test. In Beta they will polish things and add smaller features.

its okay OP, i don't think your a hacker. I am not ruling out script kiddy though!

Everyone and their mother has thought of this (and my mother doesnt even play DayZ Mod). You are not the first. Even rocket has mentioned this on several occasions. He doesnt want blood to be randomly around the map. He wants blood to be a sign of player activity. Be it killing infected or players.
