  1. I have been playing DayZ for around 3 months, and i love it. The thing that makes DayZ so good is the realism. But after a while you get bored (when you have good loot etc.) so what most players do is killing other players till they die. Killing players give them something to do, and when they die they have something to do by starting over again. Here are some suggestions that might improve the gametime before getting bored: 1. Ability to conquer certain area's that will make them yours, and then the area will be marked on the map as your area, people can then join your "group" or try to take the area from you. - this might look unrealistic but if i was living in an apocalyptic world, then i would take over certain area's and try to make a house/ "safezone" from it. And then held people in my "safezone" and protect them. Some people would offcourse hate my safezone or think it's so good that they would like to take over the place to make it better/be the leader. 2. Ability to create your own missions for other players (like: If you find me [this] then i give you [that]). To create a mission you have to be near a billboard, and your mission will only be displayed on the billboard where you made it (unless you go to other billboards and post it there too). So players that are walking to the billboard can check some missions that players made. 3. Ability to recognize players by looking at them. If you are looking at a player for 10 seconds or longer then a nametag will appear at that player, this nametag will show a random number (1 to 100). When the players talks in Direct Communication (and you can hear/read it) then their number will transform into their name (only works if you have been looking for 10 seconds at him, in other words: If he has a number). Everytime when you look at him his number/name will appear. When you die, all numbers/name's of the players that you've been looking at for 10 or more seconds (recognised) will be removed. And the only way to get their number/name back will be by looking at them for 10 or more seconds. Then another random number will appear (1 to 100), and just like before, he has to talk in Direct Communication to know his name. - This might look unrealistic too, but actually it is realistic. Why? Because if you look at somebody in real life you will also remember him (in game this shows up as a number). And when he talks you will be able to know his name (not in real life, but you would in DayZ). So when he talks you will not recognise that he was the guy who did [this or that] for you, but you will recognise his name. How the hell would you be able to recognise someone from looking for 10 seconds or longer at him? You will recognise him by his clothes. This are my idea's that might improve the experience of DayZ. Leave your toughts below! Sorry if you don't get some parts, its kinda hard to explain for me since english is not my primary language.

    Weather system and Natural Disasters

    Maybe i forgot to say that you can avoid a Tornado, maybe its good to look at the sky's to see it is going to appear and then you can locate where it starts, so you can run away from it... and also Tornado's aren't that common, since they aren't really common in real life. Suggestions can always change... if you (and more people) don't like the rates / idea, then we can edit that.

    Weather system and Natural Disasters

    If more maps get released (maybe Takistan / Desert style), then a Sandstorm would be great imo.
  4. I know that there will be a Weather system! But i don't know what kind of impact it will make. What about a Weather system? - When the sun is out you will have to drink more often. - When there is a high wind you will walk slow(er) when you walk against it, and when you walk with the wind you will walk faster - When its raining you will need Heatpacks more often (I know that it already is in the mod). What about Natural Disasters? - Sandstorms *Make you see very little - Tornado's *When stuck in one, you will have 5% chance to get teleported somewhere else and lose some gear. *When stuck in one, you will have 95% change to die. - Water flood *Some area's around the sea will flood and eventually makes you swim in the flooded area. - Each disaster has a very small chance to occur each ?? minutes? If you have more idea's, please leave a comment!
  5. Because i hate to get all out of the map (and maybe get lost?).
  6. On my DayZ experience i noticed that alot of players just collect all the vehicles and then place them out of the map with a campsite. This really annoys me, since most of them have around 6+ vehicles standing there. Which will make it very hard to find a vehicle. My idea: Make an option to claim a vehicle, details: - You can only claim 1 vehicle - If you already have a vehicle and claim another vehicle, then the new vehicle will be yours and your old one will respawn. More specific about the Claim: - You will only be able to save a vehicle once it is claimed. *You can still ride the vehicle, but it respawns to its owner's last saved place when you disconnect. - You can still check the Gear if it's unclaimed, so stealing items is still available :D So actually all a claim does is make it save-able. What do you guys think about this idea? Ok. I know its not really realistic to have 1 vehicle (that is save-able), but for some people it also isn't realistic to find no vehicles at all.

    Do i need Combined ops?

    There are 3 ways of playing DayZ 1. ArmA 2 free + Operation Arrowhead = 15 EURO's (Good if you don't have a good PC, becouse of the low textures) 2. ArmA 2 Combined Operations = 25 EURO's (The best you can get, This includes both ArmA 2 + Operation Arrowhead) 3. ArmA 2 + Operation Arrowhead = 30 EURO's (Why the hell would someone buy this? Its the same as Combined Operations, but it costs more and you have to buy them seperatly) I recommend 1 if you can barely run DayZ, and I recommend 2 if you can run DayZ without any problem. ***Please note that DayZ will become a standalone game which will require you to buy it again once its released, so if you won't earn money fast and can wait a little more on playing DayZ then i would recommend you that you wait...The release date is unknown but im ALMOST sure that it will be released BEFORE 2013, and i guess the price will be 15-20 EURO's when its in ALPHA / BETA state, and i guess that it will be around 20-30 EURO's when it is fully released (It will follow the Minecraft developing system).

    dayz stand alone new map?

    The engine will run on a mix of the ArmA 3 and ArmA 2 engine. I would love to have Chernerus+ and some more maps, one in The Netherlands would be cool, since i live there!

    Never Steal In DayZ (Video/Story)

    It was a good video, till you DCed... I hate people doing that, you always say its KILL OR BE KILLED. I can't understand why you say that... For you its KILL OR DISCONNECT. Accept the fact that you'r a noob.
  10. Hello everyone of the forum. DayZ is about reality, so what about a new NEEDED ability (like Drinking, or Eating)?. There simply will be a smell meter, and when its all green then you will see fly's around you and get a green color around you. When you have this then zombies start walking towards you (becouse they sense your smell) and eventually when they are so close that they can see you (depends on Crouching / Walking / Proning), then they will start running just like they usually do. If you would like to remove your smell, then you would have to go to a water spot (examples: Sea, Lakes). When you are there all you have to do is Scroll with your mousewheel and then you will see a new option called: "Wash yourself". When you select it then you will start washing for like 20 seconds, and then your bar is fully ??white??. If you would like to give your opinion, please comment it below.

    Map Won't Show Location

    In order to see your position on the map you'll need to be on a server that supports it, it supports it if it shows Nametags. If you download DayZ Commander you can filter on that. Or just look at the server name if it has Nametags ON in the title (Nametags = NT).

    Six launcher not working

    Me and my 2 friends are having this too, probably everyone has it. Personally i think the servers are updating.
  13. My friend also had the problem of losing all his items, all he had left was the beginning gear, but he did start where he logged off earlyer. Anyways, i told him to uninstall ArmA2 and Operation Arrowhead (he has Combined Operations), and then re-install them both. After he did that, i told him to launch ArmA2 and when it reached the main menu, i told him to close it. After that he had to do the same with Operation Arrowhead. So he did it. And when he was done, i told him to install Six Launcher and run the Launcher. After it installed DayZ, everything worked fine (he runs it using Six Launcher). By doing this you won't respawn, becouse DayZ uses your Operation Arrowhead key to locate where you spawn. Here it is explained a little shorter: 1. Open your Steam. 2. Go to your Games tab. 3. (OPTIONAL): Right-Click on ArmA2 and select: "Make a backup of the game files". 4. (OPTIONAL): Right-Click on ArmA2 Operation Arrowhead and select: "Make a backup of the game files". 5. Right-Click on ArmA2 and select "Remove local content". 6. Right-Click on ArmA2 Operation Arrowhead and select "Remove local content". 7. Double-Click on ArmA2 and select "Install" 8. Double-Click on ArmA2 Operation Arrowhead and select "Install" 9. Run ArmA2 and when it reaches the Main Menu, close it. 10. Run ArmA2 and when it reaches the Main Menu, close it. 11. Go to DayZmod.com. 12. Click on "Download DayZ (Alpha Test)". 13. Click on "Six updater suite (recommended)". 14. Launch the Installer. 15. Install it on your Desktop (recommended). 16. Run Six Launcher (located in the selected folder, Desktop in this case). 17. When the DayZ launcher appears, click on "Install". 18. When optional click on "Update". 19. Choose a server (Make sure that the title says that its running on your BETA version, currently 95208). 20. Select the server and click on "Launch". If you did all those steps correctly, then you must be able to run DayZ perfectly (with saving items). I hope this helped alot of you!!! ***(NEWBIE) NOTE: If you closed DayZ (ArmA2) completely and you want to run it again, only redo steps: 16 to 20.***
