Hmm, I am curious... Would this fix actually work in ArmA as well ? If it does , BI is gonna be celebrating :P

So steam just updated my game to version 0.30.113925, but i can't seem to find the changelog. Anyone have it ?

the next patch version is 925.

If you log out while handcuffed , you die.

No use tho , there aren't any servers running the new version yet.

You did not get the update ? Enter the game and look at the version , it might have updated while you weren't looking.

If it truly is the same patch then why change the numbers ?

That version is 113918, mine is 113925

Yea I am. This is the new version for the experimental servers but I can't find the change log . Hopefully it will come out soon.

That is 113860

I had an idea. What if when you fall unconscious or die you do not get the message that states that. Instead you are left in a black screen. The reason why i'm suggesting this is because if I or anybody else from my squad get shot, they will immediately tell me if they are dead or not so that i know if I have to save em or not. It would be much better if during a firefight I don't know if my friend is dead or unconscious so that I have to act immediately and try an save him if possible. It would add a lot of tension and would go great with an ability to drag bodies. I apologize if some parts of this text do not make sense , English is not my native language .

Well perhaps the message should appear after a given time , like 5 minutes or so. If you get shot and bleed for 5 minutes straight you are dead anyways.

I read a while ago that rocket is planning on making a new map for Dayz , or expanding the current one, and an idea popped into my head. Seeing as the infection has killed most of the people on this planet, why not have a city in which a nuclear reactor failed to function properly and melted, causing a radiation spill. This could allow all sorts of things. Geiger counters will be needed if you want to survive in that city, making the game even more difficult. Radiation suits might be needed to survive the most dangerous places. Anti radiation medicine in case people get irradiated. When I imagine the city in which the nuclear reactor melted down, I imagine a city with tones of apartment buildings that are really high and windowless and they could all be (or most of them) entered. This would allow a ton of sniping seeing as the city is huge and there are a lot of windows and you could always climb onto the rough and snipe from there, but it would also allow a lot of CQB in the same buildings, seeing as there are many rooms. This would make the game really harder especially for lone wolfs, seeing as they would have to use all their skill and intellect to survive in an encounter. Just imagine sniping from a building alone , when a group of 3 or 4 people enter your 5 story building. You have to use booby traps , all sorts of lights and misguiding tools in order to take the whole group down and actually survive . This would make the game harder , and in return, more fun That city could hold one of the best loot in the game. Also , the radiation could add new enemies. I am reminded of S.T.A.L.K.E.R Call of Pripyat, the infamous bloodsuckers. Whilst this might be stretching it I think it would be awesome to be running from a pack of bloodsuckers through an abandoned city. *Also gas masks could be introduced .You would need a gas mask and an oxygen supply in order to survive some places. If hit in the face , there would be a chance of the glass on the gas mask breaking, causing you to start chocking , in which case you would have to run and quickly search for a new gas mask, or you would die. What do you guys think ? note* i previously posted this in general discussion and someone pointed out that i should not have posted it there. So i am correcting my mistake.

Yea but they also said that they will try and make traveling to other islands possible. One of the islands could have this city on it .

You would not spawn in the city because surviving in it without any gear would be nearly impossible. Thats what the radiation and toxic gas could do , they would essentially isolate the players with no gear from the players with the best gear. This would probably make most of the guys who are currently sniping Cherno and Electro move to this city seeing as most of the people who actually survive in there are very good geared players.

I like the idea, although I believe the city would need to be even bigger, to add to the fear of getting killed at every corner. Also, adding secret government laboratories that are under the city would be cool. You would have to go through underground tunnels and seeing as there is no light it would be really freaky, and if they added some new monsters that live inside those tunnels, I would shit my pants :P

Q. Have you considered adding new enemy npc-s instead of just having zombies ? Something similar to the monsters from Stalker : COP and Metro 2033 Q. Have you considered adding radiation into the game ?

Yea , tons of hackers were camping Elektro today , cheating is really getting out of hand :S

There were 4 of us , all of us survivors. We met at the tents in Cherno and proceeded to hunt a bandit that was camping in the fire station. I went ahead and entered the fire station first seeing as I was unarmed, and there was a guy with a ghillie suit camping on the top floor. When you guys got to the FS all hell broke loose. Some guys drove in and started shooting everything that moved. 2 of us died but we managed to get the car . We bumped into one of the guys who died in our group and we headed away from Cherno . Unfortunately the same guy got sniped , so again only 2 of us were left. If any of you guys, who unfortunately died, read this, please post something on this thread or PM me so that we can play together a bit.

Should Dayz have more enemy npcs besides zombies ? In my opinion adding new npcs could make the game even more scary and dangerous, and that would make the game a lot more fun. Personally believe that it does not matter if the npcs are a bit unrealistic, as long as they make them right. For example :

I am interested in trading NVG for a ghillie suit. Sent you a pm

Hehe , I believe that anyone who played S.T.A.L.K.E.R. would know that it has a similar feeling to Dayz , and if they took some of the mutants from S.T.A.L.K.E.R and put them into Dayz , it would make the game really awesome. Also the maps in S.T.A.L.K.E.R. could be used in Dayz , the swamps and pripyat come to mind :)

Agreed. There should be a distinct difference between NPCs and Human players. Adding NPC bandits or any other normal human that is not a player has no purpose. The NPCs should be anything but normal humans.

I agree, and i do not want Boss Monsters, what i want is different types of monsters who all have different personalities and weaknesses. For example some would be very smart and would try and come at you from behind , and some would be dumb and just charge at you. Some move in packs while others move alone etc... But they would all be killable with even the weakest weapon.

Omg JC a Bomb !
