They are planning a whole integration system with the website that will have statistics and the likes readily available. (I think)

I would have taken it all and traded it for some mountain dew. in all honesty, i'd be happy to find any of those guns, best I have found so far is M9 SD and Mp5SD but I have no ammo for either, so Im using my m16a2 which I have 29 bullets for (I shot a cow in the head)

How about for a can of beans?

what's the actual point of the crossbow other than a gimmick? Doesn't each bolt take up an ammo slot? Madness... Is it silent?

That is why I included some things that are automatically put in, so that even if someone doesnt care about their own journal someone that does care about the journal they find still has some interest to them.

What was the endgame for this film? There isn't one, sure the film has an ending (which I won't spoil, but I assume anyone that plays this mod has seen this film which is pretty much dayZ without the zeds). The goal is to simply survive, well - as it stands that is the goal. Sure, there are things that you have not yet experienced, such as vehicles. but at the end of the day, with it being a sandbox scenario you make of it what you want. For some it is just a personal challenge to survive for as long as possible, for others they enjoy the chase, finding the loot, others simply just like to sit out in the woods with camp fires. I'm up for the being some new ultra rare items, what they would be I'm not too sure but something that when you find it, you feel like you are that little bit more unique compared to everyone else, maybe it could be attire based, maybe it could be a kevlar vest, something that adds a function that makes you that bit harder to kill. Hell. Maybe there is an antidote for the infected out there, somewhere... and you need to find it. Maybe it could be something as simple as the perfect weapon to take out zombies. I don't know exactly, but I wouldn't expect there to be a genuine 'endgame', ever. Perhaps stand-a-lone will introduce some that some will see as the endgame, but in an open world environment such as this, you can't add an end to someone's character because not everyone wants that. When I played Fallout : New Vegas, I exhausted the main quest and didn't spend any time doing side quests, when I finished the main quest I felt like the game has over so I didn't bother playing it anymore. If you add an endgame, people will achieve it then move on to a new game - but a game with potentially unlimited replay value will last for ever. I play CS:S mainly, that is where my online gaming stems from since I was 11 years old. I still play CS to this day, 11 years on. Sure, I've had been off it for alot of time too, but it still has my attention, that is partly because I still feel like I haven't reached my full potential, but also because there is no end game - Well, there is that is to be in a top team and win a large LAN event, but that's not an endgame, that's an accomplishment and I probably will never experience that because I fall just short of the required level of skill to achieve it. The point is, not all games need to have an endgame, especially not multi-player games.

I like that idea of leaving notes too, would add another dimension to the trust element involved. Stuff like this will help to create more immersion with other players. Don't get me wrong, when I'm sneaking around Balota airfield and all of a sudden I hear gun shots, it still gets my heart pumping and that is something that is unique to this game, genuine fear of other people but if you take that person down it's just another dead body with some loot. I'm not sure how much data it would require to process, since really it would just be text. The model/textures to create the actual journal 'effect' wouldn't be unique, so it would be a case of a text overlay. then again I'm not clued up on this stuff. So is just speculation :)

No. The end game should be after you have killed 15,000 zombies, then, rocket himself writes a song about your accomplishment and performs in front of a live audience. You can then decide whether to get to 30,000 kills and get a WHOLE ALBUM dedicated to you, or you can start a new character.

The only things that piss me off so far are cheaters and how terrible it is running inside a building.

This is what every film and game would have you believe, sure... I'm not certain I am right that this is the case for all weapons... but perhaps some/most.

I think silenced weapons do actually use different rounds to non-silenced, because they need to use sub-sonic rounds which don't break the sound barrier.

I found a bore but my inventory was full so I couldn't store the meat, so I was like ah well I have plenty of food. fast forward 3 hours I'm running around the map trying to find a bloody rabbit or anything for some meat .... damn it.

it seems logical to be able to regenerate blood. Or make animals 'slightly' more available, hell there could even be fields where there are always a couple of animals. This way you may see players going for the same place to get blood, imagine the panic of being low on blood, then going to get some meat, only for 2 others on low blood to be doing the same thing as you. So what I am saying is, have the animals how they are, maybe less common but have 1 or 2 fields that will always have 1-3 pigs in it.

I wish I could rejoin in 10 seconds... but even if I could, make it so it is IP specific and you can only have 1 instance on each server. So you won't be able to connect until your IP has been cleared by the server, how it works in most online games. For example if I time out on counter-strike : source, then try to rejoin before my player has left the server it won't let me because I'm already on the server 'technically'.

I wanna know why I cant use a standard m9 mag in an m9 SD to be fair.

So there I was, it was the first time I had ventured away from the coast line, I had the game up on my TV which my GF could see, she was reading her book and watching me on the game. So, there I am, it’s pretty damn dark can’t see anything other than vague tree lines, until suddenly I break through into an open field and there it was, about 400 meters away and blistering up into the night sky. We both immediately pinned our eyes on this magnificent man made beauty, the natural reaction was to run towards it. Mysteriously, what seemed like it was really far away – I arrived there in seconds. Bizarre, it’s almost as if the tower wanted me there quickly, as if there was something there waiting for me. So, armed with only a Revolver, canned food and soda’s I approached the gateway. Upon approach I spot about 6 Z’s walking out of the gate, it was almost as if they had been ordered away from the base to allow me to enter. So, to avoid being spotted I ran back around the outside wall. To my amazement all the zombies had walked a good 75 meters away from the gate, so I entered with no issues what so ever, I walked around for a while, I didn’t find anything of worth, until I spotted what looked like a tent, sat there waiting for me. Bemused by this abnormality I cautiously opened the tent, inside I found a wealth of items. Ghillie suits, range finders, GPS, NVGs, SVD camo, G17C, cooked meat. I took it all and I got the hell out of there, as I left I spotted the zombies in the distance all turn around and head back towards the gate. This is a true story, I’m not exaggerating anything from this post. I have one witness, my GF. I hope she’s safe. Perhaps my items were cursed? It all seems to good to be true... Or maybe I am the chosen one?

of course there is the issue of different languages being used, but then again that could add even more character, and would be pretty amusing to try and translate what is written

I mentioned writing in the journals too, here... How many zombies they have killed Who they have killed (a list of player names they have killed, this gives an idea of the sort of player you killed) Vaguely where they have been Number of times they have healed themselves Then it could also have an optional entry point where a player can write down their own notes.

nah, just adding needless complexity to it.

I imagine ARMA devs could do something about this, it would just be an afternoon job for one of the employee's I'm sure, with the amount of extra profit dayz has brought them, I'm sure they would consider making a little fix for dayz? If not then lol.

Maybe not 30 seconds, but certainly 5-10 seconds.

I do think blood should regenerate over time, if not only because naturally your body does this, the lower your blood the faster it regenerates, but once you get to 10k or more it would slow off because naturally the body knows that blood levels are less important.

i went to the airfield and ending up getting every zombie in the NW airfield on my tail, after going in the barracks and killing them all I realised I was bleeding, I was down to 8000 blood. Oops. So now I am stuck in the airfield, with 8000 blood. Not ideal, but it's my own fault for not realising I was bleeding. So it's now up to me to get out of the airfield and find an animal to cook, I found a pig the other day but I had no space in my bag or inventory to store the raw meat... lol The point is, if I could give myself a blood transfusion I wouldn't have really been punished for my mistakes...

lol.

Surely this is the certified zed killing tool? I stood in a deer stand, about 150-175 meters away from a village and just stood there picking off zeds for target practice. Only when I went further than 200 meters did it take 2 shots to take the zeds out. Not to mention it's pretty quiet too, best weapon I've used against zeds.... That being said, I haven't had a 'wealth' of weapons. I'm not convinced on PVP though, I was rummaging around some military tents when a group of 4 turned up in a car, I was about 75 meters away when they spotted me (trying to hide I might add) I managed to hit 2 of them with 1 bullet each before I was killed. Not sure what sort of damage I did, but they wasn't dead that's for sure.
