    They are already adding lots of character customization in the Stand Alone. Farming... Eh, it would sort of ruin hunting for animals or scavenging in towns wouldn't it?

    Yes, a lot of people are KoS out of fear dude, find a clan or find people from this forum to meet you, be cautious.

    Grappling? That would destroy unarmed players, the zombies are already at a point were you can't lose them, and if you stop for a minute they'll kill you.

    That video is from Corridor Digital they make awesome videos.

    Lastly, this belongs in Suggestions. Also, there is no real semblance to this post, it's sort of all over the place.

    Like everyone else states, trade.

    The thing is, with a monetary system, you need a mint to produce the stuff, not only that but the money needs to hold value to people. Currently we have fiat money (in real life.) Because we went off the gold standard, the only value it has it that we trust if we give it to someone else they will take it in exchange for items.

    So whatever we have in this game it would need to be abundant, but the whole community would have to agree that those things have value, and with that we need suppliers of well, supplies and after we have stores we need banks, housing, etc.

    You could back it up with bullets as a form of backing, not the shut bullets either, the good unused kind.

    This is why a currency wouldn't work.

    TL;DR There would need to be lots of the stuff, and we need everyone to agree it has value, possibly backing it with something, like beans.

    Sir, I was up at an old abandoned castle today, on one occasion, I was looking for loot around a helicopter that was broken, I could hear footsteps, I saw lights, but when I called out not a soul was there, only the moaning dead, it was scary.

    Another I was at that same castle, trying to run in and find loot, when I heard a few shots and bullets hit the ground near my feet, No other game will get you as on the edge of your seat.

    It's an amazing game, if you try it but don't see the appeal, then don't play. Simple as that.

    I'm not trying to be a jerk, but truly thank you, I have been trying to get north, to black lake, trying for a long time and I haven't had the time but thanks to the tractor I've... commandeered I am finally up there, to loot all the beautiful camps up there.

    I've 'hid' the tractor around... 127 038.

    I'm glad this private message could reach you. It was a nice vehicle, I didn't bang it up, but I did use some gas, sorry.

    No, but in all seriousness thanks, and... well sorry.

    Why do we need a currency? Right out of the gate you make a terrible assumption with that statement.

    Bartering works just fine. I will give you <these item(s)> for <these item(s)>. DEAL *transaction!* *happy people walk away*. And with that, the DayZ gods said "let there be transactions!"

    Try that new and radical idea that doesn't require that arbitrary item(s) be given a universally agreed upon arbitrary value!

    If anyone tries to make any sort of currency system you bet I'm going to exercise my ability to hide every such one of those items in zombie bodies/hide the corpse and hunt down anyone trying to make such transactions to do the same to the "currency" they're carrying. That's the beauty of DayZ, the community gets to decide what happens. If a bunch of jerks try and make a currency system, a bunch of bigger jerks can kill all of them until they stop :) If there are more currency jerks than "stop making currency" jerks, then I guess you guys win. Touche, sir. I will see you in Chernarus. LET THE GAMES BEGIN.

    Well like I said, it would take a server wide, all players on the server agreement, and anyone entering. Plus you would need communities and shops, and shops need suppliers, etc.

    Just a big mess unless it's well organized.

    And unless our dear Rocket gives us a way of making bases not just tent citys and barbwire were won't have a "amazing" ingame community. I never got why Rocket never allowed making of like, barrack tents if you had the needed supplies.

    Re-read the post, no idea what the weird breathing was, but then again, I've heard zombies stuck in walls growling at me, so it might be similar. As for the Holy Trinity: Axe, Knife, Matches.

    I thought you literally meant the holy trinity, I was wondering...

    But yes I did have that, but I never really have luck finding bunnies, chickens cows, sheep or boars when I need it.

    Poor me has starved many a times because the cows won't come out to play.

    And the whole zombie stuck in the wall reminds me of something, I was at nwaf when I couldn't see a zombie below me, turns out it was in the wall, and it got me legs first.

    Here is the deal with currency.

    Back in the old days, currency was backed up by gold, we were taken off the gold standard, producing fiat money, basically the fiat money is how much you trust in the government to pay for everything.

    In a post apocalyptic scenario, maybe way later when communities pop up, but not until, there will be bartering, not money trading, because if you give me some bullets, that's a hell of a lot more useful then a small piece of paper, or some heatpack that you gave me.

    If EVERYONE and EVERY server said yes to this, then it may work, but you still need shops, and such for this to work. Then banks would work and all that dandy stuff, but until the currency symbol is WORTH something, it's completely useless. Because nobody is gonna give you a As50 for some heatpacks, because it's both worthless to you, the guy with the gun, and any other player.

    Yes, zombies can make the 'oof' sound of being hit. Dunno if it's a glitch that they don't make a more zombie appropriate sound or what, but I've heard it before. Also, what the hell were you doing without the Holy Trinity for food?

    The "oof!" wasn't the weird part but the breathing was, I added the human "oof" because it just added a tiny bit more detail.

    And, I... Like to live on the edge? I guess? Not quite understanding...

    So, after being off for a few weeks, I decided to hop on, just to make sure my character is still all good and dandy.

    And, being the scumbag I am, I was headed up to black lake, to scout for "hacker's" tents. And being teleported down to elektro a week ago I was down farther so I decided to start heading north. So I was low on food, and always abiding by the rule, that if I die someone must get my can of beans of which I always have on can on me. I went to a barn north of Elektro, not immediately outside, but farther north near the dam.

    Now, I am looting the barn and to my discotent I found a double barrel shotgun only, and a few other useless supplies I didn't need at the time, no food, so I decide to kill some infected because I want to shoot something, and I'm hoping they have a can of food on them. I look at one door, and see three, identically dressed infected, two walkers and one hopper.

    I go to kill one walker and shoot maybe, three times, and when this happens, no normal infected grunts and groans, but the sound of a human getting punched in the stomach, an "oof!" if you will. After killing the human sounding walker the hopper notices so I go up the stairs in the barn, and I dispose of the ugly little beastie. Sadly, not even a tin can I look out the door again and go for the kill of another.

    Then, in my left ear, I hear the loudest breathing sound I've ever heard. I turn to my left, weapon ready, the corpse of a infected, and nothing else, I back into a secluded part of the barn and quietly log off.

    So, has rocket in the recent two weeks changed the sounds? Or what?

    And no, the breathing sound wasn't of an infected, it wasn't my character, it wasn't another character sprinting, just a loud sort of sigh, or breathing sound.

    I've only experienced the human "oof!" sounds a few times, but nothing exactly peculiar. I doubt this one was anything special, but just the whole event was sort of weird.

    The zombies had that ugly hat, yellow shirt, and I can't remember, tan pants? I think, if anyone wanted to know. They also made no noise prior to me shooting, and even then not even the shrieks when they find you.
