I'd like to see the addition of forks and spoons to the game, needed for eating without getting your hands all messy and sticky. Currently, we are eating everything with our hands, gloves and then proceeding to handle our guns and ammo with those same hands. I'm no firearms expert, but this can't be a good thing. If I remember correctly, M&Ms were created for this very reason. Melts in your mouth, not in your hands. Whenever I eat a can of something in DayZ, I always think about the The Road Warrior scene where Max get's to neatly enjoy a can of dog food with his big ole wooden spoon and the Gyro Captain is left to lick scraps up off his fingers. The spoon always seemed like a luxury to me in that scene and it could be one in DayZ as well. Eat with spoon or fork = no problem, toss the can and get back on the road Eat with no fork or spoon = Messy, stick hands, requiring a rinse at the nearest stream or pond or else...gun jams may be in your near future

Why? It all tastes the same.

I too would like some pawn immunity. I don't want people stealing my shit and trying to pawn it off so they can continue to feed their drug addictions.

Ok, I guess you can disregard my last post. I didn't know it wasn't always going to be a choice.

Doesn't matter. As long is there is a choice, almost every server host is going to set to 'off' so they can replenish mil loot when they need to. Bunch of sorry sacks.

This is the problem with most of these players. This is not an "online competitive game". There are no leaderboards. There is nothing to win, yet almost everyone still plays with this overly competitive nature. It's not your fault though. You've been conditioned to be that why by every other online game you've played over the past 10 years. It's a sickness, but you can do something about it. You can fight it. Just let go.

Why do I get the impression that this whole discussion takes place due to the bugs that occur around dropping in hand weapons. In game development bugs do eventually get fixed and when dropping a gun on the ground in front of you to unsling the one on your back is smooth, fast and reliable, this won't bother you so much.

Holy shit, just play the f n game. Run around and loot, you find what you find. Today's gamers, I swear, it's like going through a Where's Waldo book and having someone else show you where he is. Sorry, had to be said.

Do we want to make the default radio channel the universal radio channel? I've yet to ever contact anyone on the radio, but I still try from time to time. The main prob is the battery dies pretty quick if you just leave it on, if I'm not mistaken. So I usually try every 20-30 mins or something. I guess I'm not really leaving much of a window open for contact.

I don't know about you guys, but for me it's my noggin'

They're all from the mod and most of them when it was pitch black, the kind of memories that you all rob yourselves of.

I feel ya, man. I'm very similar in my approach. I play games for me and how I like to play them, not to please others. My videos are more about pure uncut gameplay and playing within the spirit of the game. So in a boxing game I try to make it look like a boxing match, in a hockey game I try to make it look like a hockey game. You won't see me jumping and shooting and doing the good ole a,d,a,d,a,d in a shooter. I try to just show people what it's like to actually play the game. But ya, like you, they are mainly for something that I can go back and view later and reminisce.

You can't be a stealthy player if you stream, you just get consistently stream sniped. I had a couple of stream stalkers actually. Got annoying so I eventually stopped streaming my DayZ journeys and what do ya know, my average life span skyrocketed again. Making vids for YouTube though, I guess that's still an option.

Greed is what prevents this from happening. This is why EA sports games are so shitty, because the idiot that doesn't know how to play said sport has to be able to play said sport because he bought the game, regardless of him being an idiot that doesn't know how to play the sport.

The OP comes off as rather pretentious to me. I'm sorry, what AAA FPS are you currently working on? It's cool to have your own ideas, suggestions and your own vision of how you'd like things to be, but you present them in a manner that comes off as: "OMG, I'm such a better designer than these guys!" I'm sorry to call you out like that, OP, as you also seem like someone you can have a mature design discussion with. It's just how I felt reading your posts. In the end, I'm looking forward to the bigger publishers entries into this genre. They most likely wont understand what made DayZ a success and it will be cool to see just how 'gamey' they can make it.

I have a few more you can add to your list if you really want to be like me... - drop everything you start with every time you spawn, earn everything - never play on servers with less than 20 peeps, try to join full servers every time you play - when being forced to play on 3pp because of above rule, stay in 1pp, accept the disadvantage - always shoot zombies first, melee is for when u run out of ammo and never use fists...that's just wrong

It's been that way for a very long time. I think junk yards need their own loot table or something. These should be where you go to find "junk", the kind of stuff you may need for crafting something; like lose pieces of rope, stuff to burn, parts for vehicles and so on. A destroyed truck on the side of the road still having something like a Mosin in it, that I can buy, but not one that has been hauled to a junk yard.

I swear, the implementation of these trucks has been like watching a kid have more fun playing with the box than the toy that was in it.

Not sure why so many people fight so hard to try and justify what they do. Pretty sure there was never any intention to make shooting 1-2 zombies every 20 minutes "fun". In the end though, at least the end I'm hoping for, shooting 50 zombies that flood into the building I'm in will be quite intense and fun at the same time. It was in the mod at least.

And why is that? If I find a mag in an outhouse, guy got killed on a shitter. If I find an AK in a shed, some idiot got cornered in a shed and, well, you know the rest. I'm all for 'weighting' items to spawn in its logical home, but as long as you maintain a system where everything has x amount of places it can spawn in the world, you are just advocating hopping and creating a play style that shouldn't exist. With a weighted system you can then do something like: a 20% chance of spawn at a mil base, a 10% chance of spawn at a mil truck and then something like a 1% chance of spawning at any other spawner. So at least with a system like this, the hoppers don't take all the chances away from a legit player of ever finding that kind of loot. Will hopping ever go away? Probably not, especially since there will always be reverse server hoppers, hopping to find people rather than loot. But in the end, a chance for anything to spawn anywhere would sure as hell slow it down and would become something far greater than "complete nonsense".

Ya, I have to agree with this. There is very little evidence of improvement over all systems for what should be a years worth of work. I have to imagine that internally they are working on a build far more advanced than what they give us, the new engine even. There is far too little iteration occurring from build to build to suggest anything else. Art drops seem to be the most common that we get, which would make sense as this would probably be the easiest to port over to their new shit. Take loot spawning for example: we get a build where it's everywhere or it's nowhere and very little in between. With looting being a major part of the gameplay, you would think that this is something being worked on on a day to day basis. Therefore what we should see on a month to month release schedule should offer us vast improvements/changes over time. Has there been any evidence to suggest that? The thing I find the most astonishing however, are all the peeps that see this as a huge improvement over what they had last year when the only real difference is that there are far more places to go looking for a gun(I say it this way because it's what 99% of the community is doing). Pretty sure we're being led by a carrot on a stick here.

Gotta love these "I found this loot there, therefore it must always spawn there" threads. No one castle has a greater chance of an item spawning than the rest, they are all equal. On a side note, are the devs serious? They're old castle ruins so therefore swords must spawn there. Swords that have been left there, untouched for 100's of years. Brilliant! Nope, no one would ever have these hanging on a plaque on a wall or something. Predictable loot spawning is a joke and only promotes hopping.

This somehow turned into yet another KoS thread. How many years in a row are you people going to be talking in circles about this non-issue? You have absolutely no idea how many times you were watched and allowed to live, none of us do. Just give it a rest already or at least keep it in its designated thread.

Cool. Can you move to North America so I can play on it? =P
