I believe they should be more focused on functionality(Fixing issues, increasing abilities in example; hordes) of them then later increase the difficulty down the line but in my opinion, each zombie should have different values of strength and speed so that way, each zombie could have a possibility of being easy or hard for each encounter.

Seems realistic to have a bank in most cities. I don't see anything wrong with that since there are "Payday" masks around ;)

Are there going to be more food items in the future?

Speaking of which, there should be a max limit of humanity. Maybe the range should be about -3000 to 8000? I know many people who had the bandit skin from self defense(Myself included) and given up to regain humanity since they're so deep in the humanity hole. I'd like to share a few suggestions for the future :) Make the surrender animation working and able to go through player's inventory once animation is used.Gutting a cow/goat would produce wool/cow hide which could be used for crafting (Maybe an improvised tent, backpacks, so-forth)Maybe an ability to shoot down birds and gutting them?Replace raw bacon with raw pork. (More relevant than gutting a pig only for the bacon)An ability to make a rain catcher with a crate and new trash loot item; trash bags. This could help with base building in the future.

My only complaint is that when you are hungry (with the icon flashing), you can only eat some until you feel full but remain about half full. I believe this should change.

Do we need 60-100 players or do we want 60-100 players? I think the servers need to be improved before making a big development change like increasing server numbers otherwise it's going to create more problems like crashing. With the current player count, it's still pushing it as mentioned above. Same goes for Arma 2.

I, too believe that the Northeast portion of the map is quite vacant and I tend to travel there to settle a camp and live the land of killing animals for the meat and remaining safe without taking a risk from a player or a zombie throughout the course of my survival. I believe players tend to go to landmarks and other points of interest for many reasons. This includes the following. Increase interaction, this may include socializing or obtaining loot for many reasons.Assists with navigation of a large map.Sightseeing.. A lot of new content is added for the map so it peaks curiosity.

Mind if I ask what overlay that is for Teamspeak? I like your screenshots :)

Still amazing nonetheless.

I just think it'd be better if humanity was removed entirely.

Someone we all talked about before is back once again.

Just had to do it after seeing that caption ;) Personally I haven't really been playing the Standalone much due to the game breaking issues it presents as an alpha. Sometimes it's better to wait :)

I just want to reach out and pet that Lynx.. :(

What mod are you trying to play? (Regular DayZ?)Open Steam > Right Click Arma 2: Operation Arrowhead > Betas > "Beta -"Make sure Arma 2 is at latest beta version (May use DayZ Commander for this; make sure you run as admin.)Check if file directories are correct on DayZ Commander.Edit: Will leave these options up in-case others have the same problem. :)

I don't think there should be another map for the official DayZ Mod. I think there just needs more elements added to make it feel as if it is a different map. I can conclude that for the main element that could be used is weather that can create more effects on a survivor which could force them into laying inside tents to stay warm or using heat packs and surround themselves close to a fire barrel ;)

It'd be better to keep the story on a single post instead of multiple posts. :) Good story though.

Try adjusting your filter settings.. I believe ping is set at 50 so change it to 0 :)

*cough* his forum title *cough*

I like how people are completely focused on the year part and nothing really related to the topic.. Yeah, the Standalone at this phase is really meant for testing and providing a better gaming experience in the future so it does become more fun.

It's been a persistent problem since the mod days. I believe it's something to do with a renderer? Not too sure.

The mod seems to be better to me at this phase. For now I've just been waiting for the Standalone to continue it's development. I just feel like the alpha version of DayZ Standalone is just an improved and more modified version of the mod. The Standalone was only released because of it's high demand from the consumers and it's an opportunity for them to continue development while players get to provide feedback and improve the game even more.

I got used to the icons and they don't really bother me much. In my opinion, less icons, the better.. Just have visual/audio indicators instead only if it were possible. (I.E; stomach grumbling when hungry, shivering when cold, *thirst would be hard to do)

Maybe the sounds should vary depending on what type it is.. Such as trail mix and pistachios should have a crunch sound ;)

Yes. Anything is possible. It's just early in development and issues like these are around. It's not too surprising to see from an alpha. They seem pretty confident in fixing these by expanding their development teams and are on track with the road map.

1. Zombies will always have that chance of attacking/moving through walls due to the ARMA engine. I believe it becomes worse when server drops FPS due to up-time. 2. This will probably be looked over.
