I was thinking along the lines of something like a chemical plant. After it was abandoned all sorts of nasty stuff leaked out. So to explore the place without losing health you'd need a gas mask or atleast a respirator (would provide different levels of protection, or perhaps the respirator wouldn't protect your eyes making your vision blurry). Inside you could find various loot. Perhaps the most interesting of loot would be gasoline. Basically making the environment more dangerous and having a requirement for certain gear to explore the area safely.

Hardcore and regular characters are on seperate db' s. So you can have two characters at the same time.

So I decided to visit electro just after the sun has set. I start going through high priority buildings (firestation, market, office etc.) when I bump into a guy. He tries to attack me with fists but misses and immeadiatly runs around a corner before I fire upon him. I then move around the corner and shoot at him before he goes around another corner. After this a chase ensues. I decide to get distance and as I run out I see a guy with the corner of my eye what follows are two thumps I start bleeding and my vision is all blurry. The odd thing is there was no firing sound. After this I go into the hospitals second floor lay down and aim at the stairs, Immeadiatly after this three more thumps follow and I die, the only place to shoot at me was from the stairs that I was aiming at and again no firng sounds at all. During this time I had no connection problems (no yellow or red chains) and I played on a server with 50 ping.

I was outside, the I ran into the building. A good 30 seconds in between the hits.

Are the shotgun speedloaders fixed? And how much is the spread reduced on the sawed off shotgun?

Does slug ammo still spawn? and where can I find a boom stick right now?

Better more indepth iventory system, I don't think such things as item degrsdation will ever make it to any of the mods. A map that is built for a survival game, Arma 3 has a nice map but it doesn't have the detailed house interiors of chernarus+, which to me makes a huge difference gameplay wise. Crafting system, can it be done in arma 3? The much more complex health system of standalone vs the simple health bar (called blood bar). More complex sickness and treatment for it. Perhaps latter better zombies in the standalone. Also ultimately the sta dalone will be more secure than the mods for the arma games.

Same problem for me. All servers are daylight only, even the ones that have NIGHT ONLY in their name, lol.

I can't find any night servers :( Not even 3PP:on. Can anyone recommend a 24/7 night server?

Met some giy just \i spawned, he asked me for food and weapons, but I was just as fresh as him and we parted ways in about 30 seconds. My first interesting interaction was with a guy who attacked me with a fire extinguisher. He wounded me but didn't knock me out. When I drew my axe he backed off. We spent a few moments staring at each other preparing for a fight, when a zed attacked him. He turned to face the zed and I used the opportunity to place the blade of the axe into the back of his head.

Hey, how do you tell day and night servers apart in the browser? I kind of want to check out that beached ship, but i want to do it at night :)

The map is based on this area of the Czech Republic (or rather its topography). However everything else is fictional. For instance the Czech language uses the latin alphabet, yet all the names of areas (not to mention they don't match the real names) and all the signs are in kirilica.

Well in ArmA 2 singleplayer campaign you played as a Us marine part of a UN intervention mission in a ex soviet country called chernarus.

Make a golden trophy pop up on your screen when you kill someone, it could even say underneath the thing: You're winner!

Saw a player in the last two days up north. Don't know if he was friendly - i had a gun pointed at his head for the duration of our conversation. Didn't kill him or rob him, I just wanted to talk to somebody :P

I was looting Grishino when I heard someone running by. Looked out the window and saw a guy fully geared running around. Snuck up on him with my revolver in hand and held him up. But I wasn't planning on robbing him, I just wanted to talk (it gets lonely up north :( . I asked him which houses he had looted already and where he was heading. He was heading east, while I had plans to head further north to check out the new parts of the map, so we said our goodbyes and parted ways.

A combination of memorizing people you meet that was suggested in the previous page and a sort of inspect element when you are close enough. Inspecting a player would tell you how he smells if his clothes are clean, covered in mud or blood (option to wash clothes?).

Found one in a civilian house on a shelf (single house in the middle of a field). Also found two more in farm buildings (the greyish long ones).

Enterable buildings really changed the map. item degradation adds a new layer to the game. The inventory is much better. Mele system, though still bad, is a major improvement over the mod. weapon attachments are awesome. A lot of features from the mod are still missing, like tents, cooking and vehicles. Movement is still as clunky. Some exploits that were dealt with in the mod are back. Also there is always the looming possibility of a hive wipe at any time.

Some houses don't spawn loot it seems. Also loot only respawns on server restarts, so popular areas will usually be looted. Try going to towns you wouldn't have gone to in the mod, with enterable buildings they are worth it and often enough are untouched.

Get. Away. From. The. Shore. People on the shore are either people without gear and nothing to lose or people fully geared "entertaining" themselves. Instead of trying to get the best weapons set another objective - survive and explore the map. You're perfectly fine with any mele weapon to deal with zombies. If you don't have any firearms avoid players who have them, if said players get the jump on you - you're at their mercy either way (if you have a pimped out M4 there is a hire chance you're fucked). About military bases: they are extremely dangerous zones. Do not aproach them unless you are prepared for a firefight. If you want a "survival" game with loads of weapons and PvP'ing on a big open map I'd suggest the Wasteland mission for Arma2 or Arma3.

I get the feeling people will love this.

It does. Found one in a deerstand near Balota airfield in the military camp.

Rocket has stated that he would like to see more content in "end-game". When you're all geared you can choose to be a bandit and kill other players, but it's not the only option. Join a clan and build a base, join the wasteland medics (or help them by raiding hospitals and giving the loot to them), hunt bandits, become a bounty hunter even (though that's kinda difficult right now, not knowing in what server what player is). Be creative and think of your own path, I think that's what Dayz is all about.
