So I read that the Rocket and the gang are hard at work fleshing out interiors for all the buildings in Chernarus. I'm all for it, but won't this have a negative impact on the zombie threat? I've become pretty adept at shaking zombies in the game, to the point that they're really not an issue for me any more. If every building in all the cities has an interior then I would think zombies would be of little concern since you can just pop in and out several buildings to shake them. I would image that one solution would be to remove the forced-walking that zombies face when entering interiors. What do you guys think?

How can you trade in this game? It's a dick move, but there's nothing stopping someone from shooting a guy in the back after a trade. There's a whole lot of trust there for an environment that has no repercussions.

So, I was wondering. What's everyone's favorite city out there? Where do you head when you first spawn? Personally, I've been to Cherno and Elektro and tend to hang out near the hospitals and nearby buildings. Not sure which one I like more.

I like the mud idea. How about dead zombies randomly have "guts" or something that you can apply to mask your scent. If you smell like rotting flesh, they wont eat you....i think.

I agree. some sort of food/water should exist in the woods and rural areas. Plants, berries, mushrooms, moss, etc. Maybe a cactus in the dirt areas that can contain water. I think these could exist similar to backpacks where they're searchable but don't always contain something. It should definately be rare otherwise people will never bother going to towns.

I think zombies would eat you whether or not you're dead. I saw a guy jump off a roof and scream when he hit the ground...5 zombies munched on him for a while, well after he was declared dead on the server. It would be a nice defense tactic but I'm thinking it would be aimed more at avoiding live people.

Sorry, I realize this may have been mentioned before. I found over 100 posts related to playing dead and read through a couple that didnt mention it. So what do you think about it? I figure a prone stance that looks more "dead". - players may loot you but you'll survive a 5 man team that's nearby if they don't want to waste bullets on a dead body. - offers some ambush options for more nefarious purposes.

I don't think there should be penalty to switch servers. A lot of times, I'll switch because I dont want to play in the dark or while its raining. I shouldnt have to wait 5 min for that. I do think there should be some sort of log off delay...maybe 10 seconds....so someone can't just dissappear when they feel like it. If you're in a firefight or running from zombies, logging off would actually be hazardous.

This is so wrong...but I did laugh. Only for a bit though. Still wrong.

Zombieland and Shaun of the Dead come to mind :).

Sorry, i searched "walk like a zombie" and "zombie walk" and didnt see any results.

I like the idea but I don't know how to implement it so innocent people don't end up as convicts. If 3 guys attack you and you manage to shoot them first, then you're technically branded a murderer. How do you prove that or how does the game know the difference? Also, isn't it true that if you hatchet someone and let them bleed to death or get eaten by zombies, it won't count against you? The whole penalty system is flawed at the moment.

I think there should be a "walk like a zombie" option. - a faster movement option than prone, that possibly lowers awareness around zombies - camouflage when other players are around. I can spot other players just by their movement animation Whatcha think?

I closed a door on myself while going through my backpack. Selected the wrong action. This broke my leg, sent me into shock and I bled to death. Beware of doors.

Any word on the Steam Summer Sale? I'm dying to get Arma II for the Day Z mod but I know as soon as I buy it, there will be a damn special.
