Stealth Pyro

Thanks, I thought it was :) I'll be making a few additions to the original post if I can think of anything else for this specific idea.

I usually play at night on any day of the week, and always try to play on one of the day servers I have saved in a text file. I agree that the night is WAY too dark and unplayable. I don't get what you guys mean about raising gamma/brightness if there was even a little bit of light, you can already do that. If night vision was a little bit more abundant (spawn in the towns that are along the coast) I would probably not mind, but if it is so dark that you can't even see what weapon you are holding, it is way too dark and not very realistic at all.

I haven't started playing this mod yet, but I think a cool new name for it would be "Day of the Zed" if it is not a trademark infringement.

^ What? Sorry, your post is a little hard to understand. If you mean: I can't steal "Day of the Zed" from the developer of the mod, I don't get what you mean. That's not the name of the mod, so I didn't really steal it to begin with? It's just a suggestion for what, in my opinion, is a better name for the mod. If you mean: Do I WANT my name in the credits of the mod? That would be cool if they were to adopt my name suggestion, but I'm not demanding it. I don't get what you're asking me in either of these questions...

^ True. Zed rhymes with Dead, and both pretty much mean "The End." Pretty cool. Popular mods have gone through name changes in the past, I don't see why not. The same web domain can be used as "DayZ" can pretty much just be an abbreviation of "Day of the Z"

How does it sound silly? Zed is the "real" English pronunciation for the letter Z. Since I've seen the devs refer to the zombies as "the Zed" in threads such as the FAQ, I figured it went well. It also rhymes with Dead if you didn't see that part :) Lately when I've mentioned this mod to others as "Day-Z" they immediately make fun of it with Jay-Z, Daisy, or Gay-Z, which all sound much more silly. Just a thought...

This idea definitely appeals to me... it adds a pretty nice strategic environment. It would be REALLY cool if you can build a few different kinds of buildings, and eventually build up your own little fort that your team can store vehicles at and defend it from intruders with motion alarms, big spotlights on guard towers, barbed wire fences, ladders, etc. where intruders would have to observe your team and slowly sneak around cutting the fences and stuff. All of this stuff would be found or built by using scrap metal and other parts, or stealing these things from establishments that others have already built (that would be hilarious to log on and find that your base equipment was stolen from you). The vehicles would require keys, which you can hide somewhere, or take a minute or two to break in and hotwire it to steal it. For "ultimate" realism, the larger items would have to be carried between two or more players, who would have to set them down to use their weapons if their team can't cover them. I get goosebumps just thinking about it! All pretty complex stuff to implement of course, but it would be awesome!
