  1. I LOVE the new setup we have, it really adds to the immersion. BUT I can't in the current state play a new character and leave whenever I want, I have to find at least 1 bottle of water and a can of food before I can safely leave (so i have something to eat/drink whenever I rejoin). I know Rocket has mentioned food and water Snapshots are incoming (and they can't come soon enough). simple suggestion: revert back to spawning with the old gear until the water and food snapshots are implemented. (Not a huge deal, as I love DayZs Hard mode :D)

    Armed Zombies...(??)

    whaaaa?
  3. Idea: for those with a hunting knife there is a last ditch thing you can do if you're out of ammo you can stab a zombie with your hunting knife. the hunting knife then becomes 'infected' with the bloody guts of said zombie and you can now only kill zombies with it and it's a slow animation and VERY inaccurate when running. thus you are unable to use it to cook food (because who wants maggoty zombie blood on your knife when you're eating a delicious of cooked sheep meat?) this leaves us with a last minute decision of whether we can afford to bloody our knives with infected blood, and then no longer able to have a sustainable source of food. thoughts? (debating on whether you must keep this knife, or if you can replace it with a clean knife if you find one)

    Spawn survivors with only a flashlight

    *looks at weather* seems like there's going to be an apocalypse today, guess I'll leave my backpack at home, and not bother bringing any of the tinned food with me. hell I'll even leave my trusty pistol at home, because I'm never going to need that. water? meh I'm sure I can find that somewhere. wut. this thread is wut.

    Class System

    you make YOUR own class. that's the point of dayz. do you want to carry a lot of food and water? or would you prefer to carry ammo. or medical supplies. there shouldn't ever be a class system in Dayz.

    Change the M16A2GL Model

    you realise this is ARMA not DAYZ that did that. also I see nothing wrong with that. it's pretty easy to still see through.

    Urination & Excrement

    this....is a thread? seriously guys? HOW? wut.

    I want to ride my Bi-cy-cle...

    I second this, but only if it has a basket, a bell and things that make it look good.

    What bandit are you?

    you forgot Stalker bandit (me): bandit who will not kill unless necessary, but will spot people, track them. wait for them to get good loot. fire a warning shot. tell them to leave the good gear or die. simple way to keep humanity above survivor levels but still be a bandito.

    Robbing people at point blank?

    It's only really worth it if you still have the survivor skin (like me) and want to be a bandit inconspicuously

    Bring back scroll options

    their stated reason is that it improved performance. I'm all for making things smoother, although I still don't quite understand how this system does that. I have yet to play 1.5.8.2 but am looking forward to it.
  12. wallace71

    Build 1.5.8 rolling update

    * [NEW] Forced disconnection saving for abort and alt+F4 what does this exactly entail? does it mean you have to stop and there is a delay (if so how long?) between you clicking abort and you ACTUALLY disconnecting?

    Any chance for being able to play as a girl?

    smaller targets ahoy! +1 for the post by the way. variety is the spice of life. and day z

    Turn DMR mag into 4 m24 or m40 rounds

    implying that the winchester ammo isn't super-common already. and the M1014 rounds are pretty common if you know where to look.
  15. I like the way you think good sir antiseptics, another reason to go to hospitals! EDIT: spawning with a hunting knife/make knifes more common, but you have to find antiseptic to use them on animals. after all you wouldnt just pick up a knife off of a deserted grocery store floor and start going to town on animal carcasses would you?

    Melee weapons

    Idea: for those with a hunting knife there is a last ditch thing you can do if you're out of ammo you can stab ONE zombie with your hunting knife. the hunting knife then becomes 'infected' with the bloody guts of said zombie and you can only kill zombies with it and it's a slow animation and VERY inaccurate when running. thus you are unable to use it to cook food (because who wants maggoty zombie blood on your knife when you're eating a delicious of cooked sheep meat?) this leaves us with a last minute decision of whether we can afford to bloody our knives with infected blood, and then no longer able to have a sustainable source of food. (going to make this a regular forum post to discuss aswell)

    Factions / Trading / Player Types

    would these factions act like squads in regular ARMA? I'm talking about the green diamonds to see where everyone in your squad is, and the diamond with the two chevrons for the leader. would prevent a lot of friendly fire incidents, as IRL you can usually recognize someone you've been traveling with

    Allow stmovement!

    give the zombies stmovement while you're at it xD. its kinda stupid and unfair that they get stuck on doorways too, making it easy for us to kill them...I've never been killed by zombies on their own, and I would rather that than banditos.
  19. GLORIOUS EXPOSITION COMERADE! (signed) also on a side note, why don't we have a few I44 weapons in here? I'm sure they would be obliging (BAR on slow auto or an M1 Garand would be pretty awesome and vary up the weaponry and ammo scarcity)

    SAFETY for your weapons

    I can't be the only one whose middle finger tends to slip off the middle mouse button and onto the left button, equating in death? also I get a stupid glitch where whenever I climb deer stands with my M16A2 raised I fire off a shot in triumph (without clicking the lmb) of finding a deer stand :dodgy: (probably a mouse thing but eh) ACE had a simple safety, it was in your fire modes. hit f until you see SAFETY in caps. then you can click and click and nothing will happen. most guns have safeties, so maybe only include safeties on guns that have them IRL? (military weapons and pistols, dunno if the 1886 had it although it probably did) sorry if there is already a thread about this, but thought it needed to be said

    SAFETY for your weapons

    I am aware about the Ctrl system, I'm a veteran Arma player, but this does take time, and a simple press of the f button to include a different "fire mode" if it were. appreciate the post though

    Zombie suggestion

    I would rather see a chance of recently dead survivors having a chance of coming back to life as AI controlled (super?) zombies, lets say if they weren't shot in the head and bled out, they come back as a zombie (similar to the Walking dead comic series, everyone's infected with the virus, but it only turns you into a zombie once you're dead, and it doesn't matter how you die.
  23. liking the basic idea of this, BUT if you're observing someone from far away, scars are harder to see without a pair of bins or a scoped rifle. something more relating to clothing perhaps? like a slow deterioration from survivor to bandit? this would distinguish the true bandits from the self defense banditos like myself.

    Make All Water Sources Able to Fill Canteens.

    Sodas > Water until this is implemented. I spend most of my time inland, so if I ever find a water bottle, I empty it and ditch it...they just aren't worth is in the current format
