I'll have to look for it, I remember it was on a video. I'll include this once I find it. :) Edit: I'll bean you once I find the video for you to view so you'll be notified when the time comes.

Just as long as you or the OP is adding onto the topic in any way it's OK :)

I was just considering it just as an idea to throw out there since I don't hear much about people traveling to that island for any particular reason for what you've said is available in the mainland. Perhaps traveling there could have a higher rate of herbs instead.

I remember Rocket saying they removed destruction out of buildings for performance reasons since they're all enterable so I can't really see burning them down happening.

It seems realistic to have a roadblock during a zombie apocalypse was happening with all the broken cars as well. Not all roads are clear. Perhaps there could be a possibility of a working vehicle spawned there or a vehicle that's mostly broken ;) The military camp seems good and I don't mind it being along the coast since there's a base across Balota airfield which is relatively close to the coast as well and is nearby Chernogorsk. I just think the camp could be more along the SW coastline like near Kamenka. My Interests in places with POI locations(will be edited if I find any more) Kamenka: Seems a lot of people don't like that location for the reason that there isn't anything to offer really, I think that place does deserve a POI but only to an extent.Skalisty Island: Could have some sort of bridge connected to it and the island could inhabit more residential homes and perhaps a military checkpoint.Rify: Around the shipwreck, perhaps there could be debris that could provide loot to indicate it was some sort of shipping freight. Maybe it could supply boxes with some food and tools? Other ideas Freshly cooked meat could restore temperature.Like how running could drain your hunger/thirst quickly, how about swinging melee weapons often? :)Zombies an ability to eat corpses which could reduce the likelihood of retrieving gear back after death and possibly be better for server performance.

Have you guys seen the new DayZ Subreddit? It's beautiful :) By the way, they took out "(numbers) currently on hype train" to "(numbers) now scavenging" .. Also, the banners and the alien don't really indicate anything to the mod anymore. I'll miss those times but it's time to move on and look forward whenever the Standalone becomes released.

Pretty much only good for Solitaire and Freecell games.

Image seems to be not working for me. :( Edit: Nevermind, that actually looks fantastic!

This is easy to identify if you use a server browser like DayZ Commander has. I believe if you tick "Hide Unofficial", it'll show you the vanilla servers. A good time to start looking for a clan is when you're committed to it based on teamwork, communication, friendliness and effort. Characters are saved in a hive. I been hearing a lot of issues regarding that playing DayZ on Windows 8 causes crashes, perhaps playing on Compatibility Mode would be better?

Performance improvements and more survival challenges for me :)

Seems there's a new Package added to DayZ. Keep in mind Steam Autumn Sales just started. http://steamdb.info/sub/35219/#section_history

Highlight your Youtube URL and then click on "Special BBCode" on your post (3rd option from the top left, it's to the left of "font"), then select "Media" in the drop-down then you'll have to paste your YouTube video URL to Media URL. Then it'll appear like this. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bUo1PgKksgw

Seems like the DayZ subreddit is going for a overhaul quite soon.. Can't wait to see how that's going to look :) http://www.reddit.com/r/dayz/comments/1rle1z/a_moment_of_silence_for_rdayz/

Yeah, I was just thinking that NE Airfield deserves some treatment :)

I wonder what game that may be that would include horses? :)

I'd like to see a POI nearby NE Airfield.. It needs an expansion (even though it's not even close in comparison to the Chernarus International Airport(NW) ) :) This spot that I have squared off seems to be closed off by 3 directions from the treeline except the northern end where the landing strip is located, which I could see if possible; a very large hanger could be placed from when larger planes were landed into before the zombie outbreak occurred. In which I may add could have possible placements of destroyed helicopters and bodies of dead soldiers to give you a clear idea it was used as a quarantined location for a little backstory. In this image below, you can see a red square around that empty field. This spot has a lot of potential whether it can be.. A very large fuel station which could supply vehicle parts and tools.A Military camp entirely fenced off with a gated entrance around the red lines that can be in place, as you can see there isn't any form of security in this airfield; unlike NW Airfield.Possibility of some enterable buildings such as a fire station, hospital and a Helipad could be placed.

Ever since Reddit changed their alien icon a couple weeks back I believe and now the name change on the forums and the DayZ Standalone Steam Community shows up on there really concludes that they've already decided on an internal release date. All this has occurred within the past month too. :) Oh and, I might add that they seem to be working with the animals motion capture. http://pro.bistudio.com/services/motion-capture/galleries/animals-mc-gallery

When you come in contact with Sepsis, you can prevent infection prior to 15 minutes if you use antibacterial wipes so this can prevent it if you use it on time unless you want to use an antibiotic instead, wait 15 minutes.

Have you ever considered using DayZ Commander? :)

I don't mind them being in depth with the factors like that, it's just depends how frequent they may occur.

I haven't really noticed anyone talking about that mod lately.. Usually it's all about Epoch these days :\

I agree. I like this idea as well. Would zombies also be attracted to animals when they're not injured?

(Yes, I know the title is a typo. It's Ambiance. Not Ambience :( ) Hey guys, TIC here and I thought of something that could be great for the ambiance of a post apocalyptic environment for either day or night for the DayZ Standalone. Here's what I had in mind.. Rocket's Response: http://dayzmod.com/forum/index.php?/topic/151552-quick-status-update-for-week-8-november/?p=1516433 ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Fireflies/Fungi (For Ambiance/Gameplay purposes) Also known as "Lightning Bugs", it would be interesting to see in a big empty field full of vegetation in the nightlife of Chernarus. Here are the possibilities it could bring in the game. Enhances lighting for night time, could provide some visibility for survivors who do not have equipment like NVGs or a flashlight.Possibility of eating larvae that lies in plants or on the ground; won't fill hunger too much but always good protein ;)Could be captured in some type of glass jar to emit lighting around the survivor. Fireflies may die from lack of oxygen over time.Possibility of being used as fishing bait if they are dead.Fact: Some fireflies could be poisonous as a defensive mechanism called "reflex bleeding"; symptoms include numbing lips and constricting of the throat.Fact info: http://gnosticwarrior.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/06/Firefly-light.gif Bio-luminescent Fungi Could be used for illumination to help navigate around the night without useful equipment.Some fungi could be proven poisonous.Possibility of attracting wild animals in the wilderness by it's source of light; making it easier to find for hunting. Shooting Stars/Jet Contrails/Fog (Relates to lighting/observation) Currently in the ARMA series, the stars have been the least worked on in my opinion. rocket2gunsRocket 106 points A high resolution texture, even at 4k, will not achieve the current fidelity of the stars. The current stars are actually generated at points using the real location of the star at the maps set lat/lon. So there is not really a skybox at night, just a swarm of vert's that generate what looks like a star. What we could probably work is making the stars look a bit better. (Source: Reddit. Click on the underline text to see the context/discussion) I don't really see a purpose of bulleting ideas since the only thing I could think of is that they'd be quite amazing to see while looking at the sky Contrail: Possibility of spotting one in an occasion in the sky. I only assumed if the whole world wasn't entirely infected with zombies. Fog:I am not sure if fog is confirmed for SA but this would be really nice to have. More Sounds During The Day/Night (For audio quality improvements) I have noticed that there isn't much sound during the night like there is in the day (birds chirping) .. How about we add some more sounds? Video Example: www.youtube.com/watch?v=BVelM6VjB7I Maybe in certain areas of the environment, would it be possible to make these sounds echo? (In example is being the woodpecker in the video) This could possibly bring tension while being cautious for zombies.Perhaps these animals should be included in the game for the sounds to have more of an effect?Depending on the environment; the sounds can mask your sounds against roaming zombies or players which can give you a chance to navigate safer at night without being hear.Winds blowing in the trees.Rain should sound different depending on the type of material it's hitting on (Tin roofs, tent, wood, etc) Auroras Definition: An aurora is a natural light display in the sky particularly in the high latitude (Arctic and Antarctic) regions, caused by the collision of energetic charged particles with atoms in the high altitude atmosphere (thermosphere). Video Example: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oL5jHrKYqe4 Keep in mind that this would have to be a rare occurrence to happen. Nuclear Winter (Atomic Winter) Definition(Shared by Applejaxc): One major concern of a nuclear war for countries not hit my the weapons themselves is that all the dust, ash, and debris kicked up into the atmosphere would act not unlike a permanent "cloudy day," blocking most of the sun's rays and lowering the earth's temperature. IN all likelihood such an event wouldn't drop the global temperature very much, but it would definitely be a big enough concern if you're "downwind" (so to speak) from where bombs fell, able to make up for if not surpass light pollution in a developing nation like Chernarus.

Could you clarify any other possible methods you've used besides using Google so I can find an easier solution for you? :)

I only think DayZ only had a bad moment when it was bombarded with scripters last year. I think DayZ is just getting better and better as it goes in terms of challenges and balancing things out. For a mod, it's pretty good for what it is. What I do miss is the old feeling of losing things like I once had. Now it just seems so easy to obtain these items back again since loot just pops in and out so often.
