Even on a clear day, i can never really see past a kilometer.

Like I said in another thread addressing this issue: Perhaps DayZ keeps track of which character is which from the Player Profile you set inside of ARMA II, AND your CD-KEY. This way i can have as many characters as i have player profiles, each with their own name, and i can switch between them when i please. Nobody else can use my characters, even if they have my characters name, because it is also linked to my CD-KEY. This sounds possible to me since I'm pretty sure HIVE already stores player names.

Maybe backpacks should affect your movement speed. The more slots = the slower you move. If you want to move fast, for example if you're a forward scout for your squad, you use a light backpack or none.

Shooting zombies in the head is important yes, but it's also next to impossible to shoot them in the head if they noticed you. Why? Because their animations are so jittery their head moves like an angry fly.

I like this. However, if you make the game harder, then there is even more of an incentive to kill people for their hard earned gear...

Better here then elsewhere.

I like the idea. My friends and i had Zub as our base for awhile. Zombies were never an issue since they could never come inside the castle tower and we farmed the loot spawns every few minutes. However we were eventually kicked out due to A) People being dumb and falling off the stairs, result in death. B) Enemies logging into the tower via top floor. C) My friends suck at PvP I would like the ability to actually have a base and not just roam around, having to solid "home". Perhaps a way to build a base would be nice, like walls and maybe some sort of shelter building so we dont have to sit in the rain.

Im pretty sure factions are ingame player created entities that do not have any RP or storyline attached to them. While the idea is cool, it is a very drastic change from the current dayz course. Personally I am divided on this, but the real decision is Rockets.

I completely agree with this. Perhaps DayZ keeps track of which character is which from the Player Profile you set inside of ARMA II, AND your CD-KEY. This way i can have as many characters as i have player profiles, each with their own name, and i can switch between them when i please. Nobody else can use my characters, even if they have my characters name, because it is also linked to my CD-KEY. This sounds possible to me since I'm pretty sure HIVE already stores player names.

I also get a problem nowadays where if i put a gun inside my backpack, it will disapear on server change and instead be replaced with old equipment.

I'm surprised HIVE doesn't use a whitelist currently. However from what i understand HIVE is having major sections re-written to support threading, an update to accomplish something similar to this may have also been planned, or is in the planning with rocket's anti cheat.

Date/Time: 11:00PM 7/25/2012 (But it happens whenever) What happened: Zombies have spaz attacks/jitter in their (attack?) animation. Lots of the time they end up standing stationary yet attacking thin air and moving very sporadically. This not only makes them very hard to shoot, but sometimes when i do shoot them with more than enough firepower (like say 3 CZ550 shots to the chest and/or head) they aren't affected and continue on spazzing out. If i put enough range between myself and the zombie they return to being a normal zombie and chase me. The big complaint here is the sporadic jittering and how sometimes bullets aren't registering as hitting the zombie then it is going into its jitter fit. Where you were: Anywhere with zombies What you were doing: Shooting zombies *Current installed version: 1.7.2.3 *Server(s) you were on: Any server, US Chicago 116 for example *Your system specs: Intel i7 2600k @ 3.8GHZ 8GB DDR3 @ 1600 Galaxy GTX 465 Windows 7 Professional 64-bit *Timeline of events before/after error: (see above)

I've gotten the same problem twice now, happens with my backpack also. I would put some guns in my inventory and backpack. Log off, log back in a few minutes later and then poof, guns are gone, stats reset to many minutes before i logged off. Very frustrating when you end up losing 4 different guns to this.
