I think that you should be able to choose which "civilian" clothes your character starts with, as this gives no players any advantage over another other than identification. and the majority of those military skins should be implimented the same way that the ghillie and camo clothes are. with 6-8 or so of these new skins they could lower the ghillie spawn down to maybe 0.06 percent and put all the military clothing at 0.11? also they should make it so that some of them only spawn in military areas while some such as the ghillie can still spawn in residential. that would keep the extra skins from being "common" while stopping them from also being too rare. basically making it so that the average player within his average 2 hours of play in one life is likely to find an alternate skin.

there are many many many threads asking for this, please use the search function and post your agreement in their thread rather than making a new one. However i do agree that bears are a perfect solution to the desolate forest problem. and wild dogs are getting introduced in the next patch according to rocket.

I think someone played too much nazi zombies and forgot what genre it was

just make it so that tents owned by your player de spawn upon your death. Locking me out of a game i paid to play just because i died, yeah sure. Please remember that this is a game and not real life. What you are suggesting is that people should be too affraid to do anything fun and simply sit in the forest eating beans and drinking coke, too afraid to ever enter cherno, stary or electro on the off chance that they might be shot. i like that you lose all your stuff when you die and to be honest you will have to spend a good half hour to get real decent gear once you spawn. i dont want to be afriad of playing the game. i already think twice before entering somewhere dangerous, it would not be any fun if i had to sit there for half an hour judging whether i can actually afford it because apparently i will have to wait an hour to be allowed to play again. TL;DR - No thanks.

That hacker deserves credit, that is classy and i don't care who thinks otherwise.

I was watching over some deer stands from within the bushes. the area was shadowy and it is highly unlikely i could have been spotted because i was covered from my rear and both sides. the only way he should have known my location is to see me from the front (note, this is the direction i was looking) I was taking note of players that had died and i saw the name Rampage come up on the death list about 5 minuits before the incident. while i was watching the deer stands from the shrubs (i was playing as a bandit to catch out players looking for some quick loot) he appeared behind me (once i had died i noticed that he was telling me not to shoot but no one ever notices that untill they are on the dead screen) so i unloaded aproximately 16 shots of my M4A1 into his body (i know i didnt miss because we spent pretty much the whole time at point blank.) and after a while of just walking around and taking my bullets he unloaded into me with a silenced riffle and of course i died. I refuse to believe that he managed to obtain a silenced weapon (i think from the short time i saw it it may have been the silenced sniper riffle that barely (if ever) actually spawns in DayZ) and also made his way all the way from the coast to my exact position in that short amount of time. SPECIFICS: This event happened today at between 3:50pm and 4:10pm london time (im fairly sure it wasnt any later or sooner) at one of the deer stands above stary sober. The server was called "DayZ - GB #500 (1,7,2,4/95417) [vet] [GMT+1] Multiplay epm-gaming.co.uk" I have no proof to back up my claim due to the fact i was not recording (which i will make sure to do in the future) and was too busy dying to get any screenshots. I urge anyone who sees the player "Rampage" to record their sessions just on the off chance that something similar happens to you and we can get some evidence to put down one of the many hackers. Thank you for hearing me out.

^ This. would make the boats much more interesting if you could circle the entire island for starters. and lets see someone save their chopper before logging out in the middle of the ocean.

Thank you, i genuinly had to idea this was possible. Now i dont have to feel bad about using 3rd person. take my beans for your consideration

Yeah it is a cool idea in theory but at the end of the day we need everything we can get to make teamplay a better option than solo banditry, and this would just put another wedge in that. Don't get me wrong, i think it would put a really nice edge on things. On another note it is impossible to work because you can just mute your mic in game (all games are required to have a volume adjustment for your in game mic) and still have a perfectly clear skype mic. maybe they could remove the ability to adjust the mic volume, but that would suck when people have to work with mics that are naturaly quiet or too loud.

Taking ghillie suits - yes, they need to work out a way to get it working. Spawn locations set to the upper areas of the map - No. the idea is that you have to WORK your way from the south to the north and gear up as you go, and that is how most people like it. barely anyone spawn camps the coast, just electro and cherno. The noise level isn't a big issue, it is just a game mechanic and to be fair, it is very hard to be silent irl unless you are going at 0.1 miles an hour. Kamenka sucks, i agree. they just need to add more to it. not remove it, that would be pointless. do you know how much less stress that 3 minute wait is on the server that you have to use up while suiciding to respawn than spamming the respawn button every 20 seconds takes up? it is fine not being there while you are healthy. just need to be able to suicide when you have broken legs. If you are going to abuse the ability to respawn, then you should have that MILD penalty of having to get zombies to kill you

I like this idea for an alternate game type. this should spawn you at random buildings (as long as they are unoccupied) so it felt like you were really one of the people fleeing around. soldiers that kill on sight are a cool idea but would have to be rare. this probably wouldnt work though due to being super heavy on servers not to mention hosting a whole new game type would require another hive ect ect. Even with the standalone im not sure this could be done. maybe if NPC survivors spawned in a similar way to zombies and de spawned once they ran out of view?

I don't even believe it.. someone took this thread seriously..

Yeah, why not.

Use tags when making a thread please.

actually Rocket spends a few hours a week looking through the suggestions forum to see if there is anything he hasn't picked up on yet. sometimes up to 8 hour sessions

Yeah that is a point, if it is down to Arma that the guns are nerfed rather than DayZ then rocket will need to reduce the blood count for now. i was tempted to suggest nerfing the zombies to balance it, but maybe simply having a lower blood count might make them that little bit harder that everyone seems to want. win win situation

Yeah that pile of trash really is just there to troll us with glitches

Hold "i" while in game and it will show you above the scoreboard You are welcome.

The fact that we bought Arma II is our choice knowing that we could play DayZ for free. Do you honestly think that they could afford to just make a standalone DayZ for free for the hundreds of thousands that bought ArmA? Sorry but they will have to charge indiscriminately.

Yup, Saves it to the server like a tent and X marks the spot. can only store 1 item per dig though

ONE!!! ONE AWFUL TROLL THREAD!!! AHH AHH AHH

I think people need to just stop crying about the fact that people have high tech weapons. Just because you get shot by an as50, doesnt mean every fucker in the game has one, it means you ran into someone who got really lucky. you have to consider the fact that there are hundreds of thousands of people playing this game. if you stop to think that at any one time every single member can find a decent military weapon over thousands of servers, then yes, of course there are a lot of high tech weapons around, because science and maths dictates that with so many players, lots of people are going to find them, no matter how rare they are. Also it has already been said and i agree, AK's arent overpowered in this game, and it makes it pretty realistic to find them all over the place where we are. have you ever considered that some stragglers may have ran into firestations with nice weapons?

Your English is terrible just so you know. It's pretty hard to understand. Also you clearly haven't played DayZ long enough. It is not a friendly game. You want to play in a group? go make some real friends. This game Doesn't have an EASY mode that says shoot everyone you see, it has a suicide mode saying DON'T shoot everyone you see. what im saying is, being a nice guy isnt any more difficult that being a bandit, it is impossible, because you will be shot. You want to know what the down side is to being a bandit? EVERYONE ELSE is a bandit, and will shoot you on sight. there is your answer as simply as i can give it to you.

Anyone complaining about how this is unfixable because of the Arma engine are the ones not looking into it properly. Yes, some of the problems are currently unfixable. But the artifacting? They had it reasonably stable once, which means they can do it again. More importantly they can just remove dead military bodies and broken military trucks from the game altogether as they dont actually do anything other than cause the glitches and that would solve 90% of the problem since barbed wire doesnt cause it anywhere near as badly. of course they could always remove barbed wire as well so that it isnt used just for blocking doorways for no reason and replace them with more sandbag stuff. that way the graphics glitch would instantly be gone with nothing useful lost and done very quickly.

yeah so we can stand around for half an hour trying to find the 2 pixels that bring up the remove option
