would be good fun if it came into the game, and also if when traveling downhil u could half hop on the back of it and let the weight of all ur gear build up speed

make it useable as a wepon and also make it throwable if DayZ were to happen IRL a lot of people would be carrying knifes and use them when they had the drop on someone, or use them for hunting to save on ammo, would add to the game, just make the throwing distance 10-15 meters max EDIT: for those who dont scroll down and read all the posts following this one i also state the it should have a roll like the passing out with blood loss sometimes the kife will land a damage wound where they bleed/die, or the blunt edge/handle will hit for a stun, as stated above it would be handy for hunt, cows and pigs tend to not run because they are domestic animals, and are used to humans approching them and fear nothing, if ur corner buy a zed or a player, and all u have is a bandage, painkillers, torch and a knfie, would u want to be able to use the knife in someway to defend yourself or distract ur enemy so u can get away to safety?

+1 if i was hiking around all day in a forest, id make a water bottle last me a lot longer then just 1 drink

save someone or slaughter them, its your choice not many games do that, the only penalty should be the player own thoghts "was that the right thing to do? he didnt have anything i needed?" been playing for only a week, and have killed 2 people, first one coz i paniced when i saw someone else coz i normally get blown away as soon as someone else is around the second one was because i was low on ammo and i wanted his double barrel shotty lol but i still feel bad about it, who knows, i could of teamed up with both of them and gotten better gear in the game its all about choice dont restrict choice

when u first spawn and u dont have a gun, or an axe and the only thing u have found is a knife, it would come in handy if u are cornered in a building, id rather be able to use my knife to do some damage then nothing at all in that situation also i seem to find knifes everywhere so if i throw it im not worryed ill get another soon enough

this game is a zombie survival sim, but the more i play it, the more i see it as a survivour survival sim, lol other survivours are far greater risk them the zeds in this maybe if there was more focus on working with others insted of taking them out but thats more aimed at the player mindset good ideas, but if food became more rare, ppl would kill each other non-stop on the off chance they had caned food or cooked meat the base idea is good, if i could dig myself a smalled bunker to put backup weapons/surpplys that would be good, but there would have to be limits set in place so no one can create an armory of stuff would lead to an unfair advantage having tanks.... well id love to roll in somewhere in a tank and blow the shit out of a bandit with one shell, but it would turn what already are hot zones into plains of blood, if u got within 2-3K's of major owns u'd be shelled, a spotter with range finders paired with a tank, all major citys with hospitals/supermarkets/airfields/milatary bases would be guarded good ideas, there are good points, but also bad ones, look at things from all angels and weigh up the best options if a base/fortress can be made, it also should be able to be blown up, destorying everything and everyone in it if food becomes to rare then ppl will stop playing because after 10 days u will die without food, u can survive on water alone for around 10 days then u go downhill and will keal over(IRL) insted of tanks maybe 50cal MG's on jeeps and millatary trunks? tanks would be to OP if u ask me or insted of tanks, APC's mid armor, high power MG's or smaller calibur cannons plus storage for surpplys or team mates

LMAO, toilets shoudl be a danger, every time i open one up to see if ammo is there i expect to see a zombie sitting on the shitter, but im always disapointed lol

could be usefiul against bandits, headshot=blinded by paint :) +1

could have it so if there is a wind element added, said dog could pick up the smell of a person/zed/animal and let out a low growl that only u hear and slowly head in the direction of it, i dont think anyone would be showering to often in a zombie apocolyse, and each person bodie oder is differnt, but that would add an extra layer of complesity to the game a wind system, plus dogs being able to pick up smells on it depending on which way the wind is blowing goood idea tho, just would take a lot of work to impletment ingame

untill control was able to happen is what i ment, worded it wrong

weight burden that slows ya down would be a +1 another element of realisum is always good travel light and fast, or slow n heavy with enough stopping power to take down a rhino would make a lot of ppl find sniper rifles and camp areas aswell tho double edge there, but thats the point should be added in

there is talk of dayz becoming a standalone game, so maybe if that happens it will come into it

spawn protection in the way of "until u start moving after first spawn u cant be killed" since there is some server lag it would allow people to get there char up on screen and atleast take a step b4 that sniper pulgs em one, only for first spawn along the coast line tho, all other spawns/load should be free for all, ive died many times both ways, and the only one that annoys me is when im starting freash with nothing at all and i get pegged off before the loading screen is done if im in the forest, and got gear on me i aint bothered, i picked a bad time to log on

have it as something that could be made? tear a strip of ya clothing off stuff it into a whiskey bottle,use a match to lgiht it jerry cans could be made into IED's then as well, same idea, cept light it and run

thats all im saying, doesnt need to be a "1 shot wep" just something else to aid survival, adds another level of realisum maybe 1 in 3 million knife throws is perfect and lands right beteen the eyes for instant kill, lol

still would be a good distraction, even if u lose the knife, wouild make other players dodge/evade giveing u half a chance to run for safety they have the passing out effect with blood loss, so put something like that with knife throws where theres a chance that the handle will hit most of the time, but it will stun the other person/zed/animal for a second giving u much needed time to swap weps or run EDIT: also if all u had was a kitchen draw full of knifes and this kinda thing went down, im pretty sure u'd grab em all and throw them at hostiles if need be, imagein a big heavy cleaver throw at ur head, even if the blunt side hit u the weight of it would stun u for a second and allow a person to come in and spil ya guts

the zed population should be 10000000 times higher then the player population hordes would be awesome, scope out a city, it looks quiet, turn around the wrong corner and a massive horde of 20+ zeds shambleing there waiting for a nice fresh manwitch!

i was in ur place i would of toyed with him, simply for the fact that he and his buddies pack hunted u, would of kept takeing shots at his limbs and make him slowly bleed to death but then again, all the noise of gunfire would of attracted more hostiles, so a quick killshot was the smarter choice, like others said, he was trying to kill u, insted he paid the price

most of the time i run, have had that many ppl say "friendly" only to shoot me in the back of the head that i just run now

thats why i also put that part in there "safe havens" would end up being death traps and not serveing said purpose it would take away from the game it would lose its gut wreaching panic as ur trying to evade sniper fire while running through the forest knowing that there is a safe place to go and re-stock if u died

maybe a milltary stonghold where players cant shoot each other and safely trade? only downside i can think of is the fact that snipers would lurk around the entrance and shoot anyone who comes along then steal there gear so it would end up being controled by a group and they would horde all sorts of stuff in there and only let there clan/group enter without getting shot being able to go into the sewer systems for the citys would be good have high lvl loot in there, but also massive mobs of zeds to make it a really big risk

only started playing this mod over the last week but i gotta admit, i was addicted to it with-in minutes of playing first venture into a major city, BAM shot from behind after i had just found an axe and that was how it was for the first couple of days, lol, but i keep coming back for it i can have awesome gear, get killed, and yes its frustraiting, but its addictive there is punishment in this game for the smallest laspe in concertration didnt quickly scan that city with binocs b4 going in? u pay for it have someone say "hey dont worry! ill help u!!" then as soon as u start picking up some loot BAM! i honestly love it tho, not only is there the sheer panic of running around a city with no weps while a pack of blood thirsty freaks are hot on ur heels, the chance that someone else is lurking around that next corner as a saviour, or a menace, its sheer joy, not knowing whats over the hill, or in that next building i dare say, this could be one of the greatest games ive ever played right now im still just learning the lay of the land, but even if i get murdered/eatin i aint to worryed, as i am getting to know the map more and more and also where the less traveled areas are i know its an alpha, i know it has bugs/glitches once its beta/release it will be even better!! but even with all the bugs, awesome game Dev's keep it going

on the server i was playing on the other day someone was saying how there was a guy running around saying over the mic "friendly! friendly! friendlY" non-stop and as soon as he got close to someone he would hack them to bits with his axe, lol

nothing like a good dose of death n destruction ;) lol not into the whole clan thing with games just been going it alone since so far just about evry "friendly" has killed me, lol, except for one, dunno what happened to them, we were going from town to town at nigth, and i got lose in the forest that night, lol i just want a crossbow and hunting gear and to find a place to hide out for a while, lol, if i get caught out and lose my gear, ill play differently
