Jester (DayZ)

Starved to death in the debug wilderness on my oldest character. My desperate and feeble attempts to reach the map led me through periods of anger, frustration; and then finally, acceptance. I remember seeing trees peaking on the horizon when my survivor passed out for the last time.

I was also thinking about suggesting cannibalism after watching "The Road" the other day. I think that it would add another dimension to gameplay and also possibly improve the atmosphere around the coastal cities - imagine sneaking through a town not only with zombies, but also with the thought of potentially being watched by hungry cannibalistic maniacs instead of random "PKers". Cannibalism could be implemented by having the ability to 'gut' dead survivors once an extremely low humanity has been reached. In order to deter everyone from people eating you could also add the chance of catching an illness from gutting a sick survivor, thus potentially lowering your blood instead of increasing it. Eating and gutting people would also significantly lower humanity - more so than murdering. Once an even lower humanity is reached, maybe have an option to be able to take a skull from a dead body. Only one skull can be taken per spawn which can be then placed on a stake within the world. These - if not randomly abused - could mark hostile cannibal territory to deter threats and to freak out survivors - think of the log cabin scene from "The Road". Also for all the sadists out there, imagine crawling through the forest dying but being generously aided by a fellow survivor. He offers you some cooked meat, and you eat it feeling much better - but then, after noticing your humanity drop, you feel the horror in realizing you ate human flesh, and that your would be helper is sickly chuckling to himself before making you his next victim.

All I can imagine when reading this is a single survivor sitting on top of the Cherno firestation tower; and when upon seeing another survivor, cries out "Release the hounds!" Then 10 of his buddies playing as dogs bound out from the firestation garage to run down and maul the unlucky victim.

There are also dams further inland like Grendal mentioned. They could be possibly easier to activate and require less maintenance, but contribute less to the power grid.

With the durability of a BTR-60, the storage space of a Ural, and the speed and mobility of... a weighed down bus, I present the BATTLE BUS Z-Edition.

Wow there's kids under 12 playing this?

http://dayzmod.com/forum/showthread.php?tid=588&page=99 I swear all of these threads are the same. Everyone's entitled to an opinion but can people please stop filling up general discussion with this?

I used to see DayZ pop up in my multiplayer lobby when there were only about 7 guys on at a time, thinking it was just a group of people playing the zombie sandbox mod together. When I finally decided to join one night I was totally blown away and have since loved every second of this mod.

If you had the tools to create sandbags you could also hold the hurdles event!

I'd offer him my spare Remington in my pack lol (not the ammo, of course).

Been able to stay alive since mid April. But tbh I've only just passed 24 hrs total in game time. :P

Or you can upload a custom face http://ciahome.net/forum/index.php?topic=2477.0

At the moment' date=' yes :P. I don't necessarily think its fair or enjoyable to be pursued by someone who can see in the dark while you can't, but I can deal with the unfair advantage that NV brings. I hate, on the other hand, exploiting the gamma levels. assholes.... Just think of it as a challenge. I've somehow manged to survive for over a month with only a flashlight and a rangefinder in the pitch black. :P And imagine if they ever implement spotlight mounted cars and helicopters how much fun it would be trying to outrun and hide from one in the dark as it hunted you.

I suppose another reason for it being so dark is that it forces people to use the light sources available in game. When the moon is out there is no use for flares/chemlights/torches except for signalling people. On such nights even NV can get a bit annoying and it narrows your FOV. The only downside is that some (most? idk I don't do it) people up the gamma I guess.
