Starch

Ideas: 1) Full whiskey bottles & beer cans so I can drink for health and then passout. 2) Make the crowbar a pistol instead of a rifle. Sure it doesn't hurt zombies much, but it somehting to use pre-pistol. 3) Add piles of $100 bills. They don't need a use, but would add color. 4) Add airhorns & sirens. I don't care if they're static or mobie, but they would add more color. 5) Enable global chat after you find a radio.

I vote yes to golbal chat, but only after you find a radio in game. Radios can be static (desk mounted) or handheld. This would fit the atmosphere and promote cohesion between survivors. If you don't like someone's rants on chat track them down and take their radio away.

Where's my chainsaw. Sure it's noisy and uses up gas like crazy, but man is it fun!

I think dayZ coul use player triggered events linked to mini-bosses: killing the rare crazy doctor at hospital could trigger medical supply drop, killing butcher at supermarket could cause mass zombie spawn, killing general at base could trigger helicopter crash (to be fixed), killing lumberjack in woods provides survival kit, killing zombie engineer in power plat causes gas leak & explosions. Killing the zombie poliece in towns increases zombie spawns. Killing enough poliece causes a zombie poliece chief spawn. Killing zombie chief reduces zombie spawn for 6hrs. I would make these bosses obscenly tough.
