Some of those ideas, are ideas rocket has mentioned for possible inclusion to the SA at perhaps a later date. I can see the benefit of this, I would love ot walk through Cherno at night with street lighting on. Let the fuel wars commence!

I would like to suggest we as consumers could host DayZ from within the Standalone when it comes out. I used to play the Novalogic Delta Force games and they allowed you to host a game from within so me and my friends could all play together. (free from Hacking and so forth) The benefit to this was the fact I (we, my friends and I) didn't have to pay server providers money in order to play together. We had options on what we wanted to play, what map, weapons,time limits etc. We could even password the game so other less desirable people could not get in. this offers a better gaming experience to the existing one provided, which is all non conforming and splintered into just as many different ways of playing. private or public servers all offer different things so why not just offer the DayZ consumers the choice to host their own games free of charge? rocket (Don't you think it's time you used a capital R?) has highlighted the industry on many occasion and has revealed that he would like the community to lead in this area, I would expand on this and ask him to give us the tools or permission to host our own games free of server providers (no names mentioned but no offence either) money has to be made and sponsorship, but I don't think much is generated from server hosting who are, lets face it, in it for the money and not the original developers! I am not sure on technical specs for hosting a game, but what if you could, as mentioned D.F. was piss poor of a game but the personal hosting was brilliant and non demanding from a P.C. point of view, It the SA is being streamlined to suit and give better performance then I'm sure the technical stumbleing block could be bypassed. You could host the game from your p.c. and your m8s could join and you all play together, resources being shared between each users computers lightening the load. Ask your self, would you like to host DayZ for free? would you and your friends benefit from this? It has always amazed me how people are willing to pay for hosting a game they had to pay for in the first place (in general, I know i didn't pay for DayZ) Why is this?

Cheers again for the how to, but I was only suggesting that hosting ability could be included in the Standalone. I would love to host games for Forum members and friends, you know where we all just link up and play together without no extra cost being incurred. Why should others profit from hosting when it is not going to the Dev / support teams

oh, can you host the Mod from your computer, so you and your friends can play together? You open up DayZ and host a game? Pray tell me how to do this! :P

Now just calm down, no need for the graveyard just yet! I love DayZ, have done since I got it in June. I have always wanted a game like this and was ecstatic when I found out about it. I could think of only one thing I would introduce. What I would like to know is why no dayz single player release? Specifically with the SA? I like to play games by myself now and again, where would be the harm in a single player game? Not everyone would want to play online every time! It would help in online playing gradually building up to playing online. Just throwing it out there and wondering why one of the best games in history (IMO) has no single player version, think of the things you could do with this. It could be used to expand and dare I say profit from. Not everyone wants online games!

Yeah, Mods I am sorry if this brought up any links to the SP but that was not my intention. It would just be nice to have a Single player element to the game, That is all i meant, As stated I would benefit to a cut down version for my offline gaming even if it was the mod. I can see this being done after the SA release as i think the community will expand on the original rocket idea and offer us the chance to play DayZ offline with a different set of experiences from the online version.

No, I want dayz single player experience, no other game has the atmosphere of dayz nor the fear from being chased by the dead. rocket needs to make one or I'll steal your beans! I just don't have any single player games, so I want an offline version of dayz!

Yes it does warm the body, but I only noticed it when I laid over the fire, I mean over as in roasting myself. It was when the icon stopped flashing I realised it worked!

Get a Brummie to say daisy and youve got it!

Are you on a admin active server? Try contacting them to do the deed

I sometimes get this from different servers, I just find another until I get in one, though I noticed it only happens with servers different from my version. This is why I install dayz commander again! From scratch and also install all maps. This help with a few issues loading into gameplay for me!

Weight is a factor in the SA I read, so selective use of items will matter more than they do now!

I read SA when rocket masters them! Still need work. I am not a fan tbh, suppose its more to shoot at!

Try using dayz commander for updating to latest everything. It can't hurt to try

I haven't seen one in game that wasn't a hacker! They are not official yet!

But if dayz came out with single player option, you would sell more as players would want it, even hardcore players would go in just like they do for ARMA 2's armoury, or just to test things out! Your appealing to both online gamers and offline players, which is a better model than just one!

It happens to me all the time, neck being snapped by doors and mad axe wielding people!

Why not just delete tents and fences each server restart? Keep the challenge of searching to survive alive?

Kinky bugger!

When you wake up, you act like you suffer from OCD, by waving your body around 3 times.

Shoot choppers down with a makarov!

All fine and cheers, I wanted rockets take on this! Doesn't that have a console cheat where you could select any weapon? That would kill the game! And servers for a single player? I wanted to know why he hasn't capitalised on a single player release! fans would like one! You introduce a bloody great mod and a SA, but no single player experience (you want players to feel and relate to the experience) It would be a great training tool or a decent game either way!

Go to nightclubs and ask friendly?

Another day in Cherno!

Yet based on a single player idea? When you play you spawn alone, facing a infected apocalypse! Contrary to popular belief I would play single player a lot. I can understand the other player element and the tension it brings, but I can also see the benefit from playing alone and boredom would not be a factor due to how I want to play ( please understand not all the time just a nice change of pace) if it's your story then how is it my story when issues stop me from playing as I want? Perhaps this is not the game for me, but rocket has released a game that pretty much ticks all my boxes, I would like to know why no single player!
