I would rather be kidnapped, than sniped. I do not however, want to be staked to the ground. I think having the ability to tie hands and feet (+hogtie) would be enough. You should also be able to work your way out of bindings with time and effort. So having someone tied would be temporary UNLESS someone was essentially guarding them. Also, his Russian(?) grammar + English warms my heart, and makes me think of Yakov Smirnoff. "In Soviet Russia, road forks you!"

I think this is a great suggestion, though it was made before in the past. I do think the homes should also feature standard gas stoves that you could try to light. Some would still work, while others would not. These could be used with minimal light/smoke, but would be best for cooking and only offer a minimal boost to body heat.

This has been mentioned in the past. And yes, handcar or speeder makes a lot more sense than a full train.

Everything will be vehicular manslaughter? Thanks for news.

I've returned to DayZ mod after quite a few months away; forum downtime, and anticipation of the SA Alpha launch is partly to blame. The game has changed quite a bit since I left.... I used to play as a lone wolf mountain man, and the ONLY way I survived as many days as I had in the past was by running away from people. Now KoS seems less prevalent on the scant vanilla servers, and I find it hard to break the habit of fleeing when I encounter other players.

The correct answer to this is, "Lousy Smarch weather!". I can spot a Simpsons reference in a Ghillie suit from 500 yards. More on topic? I don't follow game news like a maniac, like some of my friends. I used to more, but it just makes you nuts. WANT WANT WANT Did you all SEE the new Smash Bros? :wub: It's best to just put it all out of mind for as long as possible. Then one day, bing, kill ALL the zombies! Cheers to rocket for suffering fools. I feel I have waited for this game since March of '96 when I first put a piece of tape over a button in a PS1, and played an import copy of Bio Hazard JPN. I think I can wait a little longer.

I actually PLAYED DayZ for the first time in months because I wasn't able to lurk here. Cool details added, and there wasn't as much KoS going on. I ran into (and away from) quite a few people without getting shot. *fades back into foliage*

Is Rocket going to add rocks and pen knives to melee weapons now? http://www.adventure-journal.com/2013/04/violence-hits-mt-everest-as-sherpas-fight-with-ueli-steck-others/

The potential for this game is staggering. One day a Rocket will press launch, and we can all choose your own adventure again. Keep up the good work!

Hoping SA features sawed off mod with increased spread that can be holstered as side arm and ability to unload both barrels at once. Close quarters crowd control.

I've been playing survivor style, trying to follow a code I might adapt in this situation if I were personally placed there, and it's been difficult to say the least. This game is not only limited by your creativity (Rockets quote), but the creativity of others you must play along side (here comes the hate). If a majority KoS for gear because it's the fastest way, and they don't care to spend time running and gearing up for loot, you get a massive deathmatch, just like every other shooter. Some players come to DayZ with stars in their eyes, thinking they will get an MMOResident Evil experience (like me on some level), only to find that the vast majority of players have no interest in "friendly team-ups", and merely kill them at the first opportunity, whether you have anything of value or not. 1) I understand that killing zombies is boring after awhile (I'm starting to feel it myself), and that PvP adds replay value, but I think it would be great to make Zombies more challenging (more blood, but make them stagger when shot), that might make teamwork a more desirable strategy, if at least 2 guys were needed to unload on a Zed to kill it quickly enough for a safe outcome. 2) Then add a secure property mechanic with light barricades on town borders, not a safe zone with no PvP, and a way to clear zombies for extended periods of time while you still occupy a town/city. IE, if you kill ALL zombies in a certain range, and set up the barricades in a certain time limit, they cannot respawn quite as quickly or in as great numbers. Then you might see more focus on acquisition, and retention of properties, clan versus clan. All the while, trying to stem the flow of Zeds. This idea requires larger amounts of players per server to make it work, and might be too much "structure" considering the original vision, but I thought maybe some of these thoughts might be interesting to put out there for discussion. I've read similar ideas on here regarding property acquisition, but when I thought this up, I did not recall reading anything with these particular features. Whether you like my idea or not, thanks for reading.

BioHaze here and in game because my zombie killing career started on the PS1 when Biohazard (JPN) was released.

I'm a "fanboy" when it comes to certain artists and games. Frank Zappa Park Chan Wook Shigeru Miyamoto What's not to love? I've had more awesome hours of fun with Smash Bros, Resident Evil, Super Monkeyball 1 & 2, Daigasso Band Brothers 1 & 2, Pangya, and DayZ (to name a few favorites) than most other games I have played in 30+ years of gaming. I know what I like, and why I like it. If extolling the virtues of my favorite media, entertainment, and artists makes me a "fanboy". So be it.

The few, the proud, the immune. If we never get another dev update but had the SA ready to play a week earlier, I would be ok with that. That's my stance. Updates are cute, but actually applying bullets to Zombies is more satisfying. Go team Rocket?

this though i recently updated the mod and keep thinking of playing a little....

that moment when i realized this was 52 pages, lol. funny stuff.

It's probably 4+ months since I loaded DayZ. Updates, no problem. Spawn with no gear at all. Almost immediately find dead guy in super market with basic gear (very basic) load out. Enfield, revolver, compass. Random player calls out and I fumble to chat, he's a friendly acting new spawn, weaponless. He offers to help me at the hospital, but I peel off for the fire station I see when I exit. Empty tent, m-9 mags, smoke grenades, vest pouch, crap. Top of staircase, lay down, log out. Likely go back to waiting for stand alone....

I put DayZ down months ago and have decided to wait patiently and positively for the standalone. Yes, I only returned to the forum to follow-up on the December deadline, but NO Rocket or DayZ dev still doesn't owe me anything. In fact, if I never play another form of DayZ again I can still say that DayZ was a unique and thrilling gaming experience. Keep up the good work! I'ma go buy me a stupid tshirt!

My interest in the mod waxes and wanes. Resident Evil 6 just dropped so I will be playing less DayZ mod for a little while at least.

My issue with younger gamers is that they lack the experience to appreciate something like dayz. After gaming for thirty years i see dayz as a unique gaming experience open to interpretation. The younger gamers all seem think they are playing COD.

Dry wit, lost on a Brit. Funny thing that.

You started in with the name calling little Lord Fauntleroy, I ran with it. By the time I was finished reading your BS I had "Bus" on the brain, and therefore typed it instead of UAZ. I know in your perfect world, nothing like this has ever taken place. Also, I've bullied NO ONE on this forum, oh all seeing eye that is Oldy1. The only time I barked is when provoked like being called say, an "illiterate", or "idiot". Now whats the expression the all the British kids are using these days? Oh yeah, "piss off".

Sorry I meant UAZ, you uppity douche nozzle cork smoker. Doesn't change the fact that I was talking to the OP. I'm so far from illiterate, you would think a New Yorker invented your language. Now go eat some blood pudding, wanker.

I have experienced Zombie hits as seemingly nerfed when riding a bike. I've never been shot while on one so I can't speak to that. I was on a bike surrounded by Zeds and they were able to bat me around like a playground ball with out me really getting hurt....
