Also, any idea why this thread was unpinned or better still how we can get it repinned?

Cmon we've already got pooing, any 'woohoo'ing and this may as well be a Sims 3 zombie expansion pack ;) Although I do think spending time in a group as way to gradually improve humanity rating could be interesting.

UPDATE: Added a list of suggestions which focus on suggestions for near future development. Added :)

Definitely agree with some underground environment. Underground bases aside, sewer and metro system would be awesome.

Yeah I like this idea, raiding the carrier would make an excellent goal for a large group who are running out of things to do. It should be both insanely hard, scary and dangerous but also have some of the best loot. i.e would have: Lots of zombies, some with body armour. Very cramped and claustrophobic feel below deck. Lots of ambiance and echoey sound. Very little natural light below deck. Quite easy to get lost inside it. but also: A medical bay with loads of medical supplies. Lots of mechanical supplies for fixing choppers and planes. Obviously lots of military loot. Just imagining traversing the labyrinth of a half ruined aircraft carrier, all the power and the lights out, blood smeared over the walls. Water dripping and leaking onto the floor. Very echoey sound and lots of ambience. The group getting picked off one by one by zombies and hearing their screams echo down the dark corridors :) Need more things like this to get players to team up and work together instead of just playing solo and shooting everyone.

On a different note what do you reckon we'll hit first, 500 cans of beans or 75,000 views?

It was, and then for some reason it was unpinned, been trying to get it back for a while now :)

Don't think an artificial system like humanity is the way to deal with banditry at all. Instead 'real-life' considerations should encourage players to work together, i.e.make group play more rewarding and solo play harder.

The weapons wishlist section has now been fully updated with a special emphasis in the description that high-end weaponry should be extremely rare. However, while these guns should certainly be an extremely rare sight I don't think they should be fully excluded from the game. Remember people still need something high to aim for to stop DayZ turning into a PvP fest once everyone has the best gear the game has to offer.

Don't know if we should be getting too in depth with lore here but if the downed helicopters are American (blackhawks) then you'd expect U.S. zombies and gear around them. Think downed American choppers should be far more rare than downed hinds, mi8s and eastern European gear though.

Added an SMG section.

Haha can't believe i completely missed them out, will sort it out soon :)

2 best things to take away from that interview is the zombies sound f*cking terrifying and the new loot spawning system sounds excellent :)

You should have left it in! Gave me quite a laugh :) Rocket seems like a sound guy though and despite the sob stories you heard in the news when he snuffed it, Steve Jobs was a total w*nker as a person.

Only developer you thrust? Wow, you really must love him... ;)

Hmmmmm :) Knew I'd be proved right but not quite Monday the 7th!

Oops double post! :) EDIT: Thanks again and well done guys! PS. those are some bigass cans of beans!

Think this is the update we've been wating for :) thanks to Rocket and all the team for soldiering on through the holidays and putting up with all the crap you get from people. Wrote this thread a while ago, had no idea it would become the most viewed suggestion thread on the forum. Hopefully as the SA progresses it will see some more use. Congrats to the team on hitting 1.5 million users on the mod today and to all those who have been selected to test the game. Very envious ;)

Steam sale ends and DayZ hits 1.5 million players next week, would be a good time for some info, jus' saying... :)

With the WarZ revealed to be a total trainwreck and Christmas fast approaching I for one would be perfectly happy if the team decided to take some well-earned time off, put the entire thing to bed for a while, and continue in the new year. However, although I can understand its a steep learning curve, I'd agree that the whole PR side of DayZ has been handled very unprofessionally in the last month or so. At least compile a small tumblr post with a few words and a couple of screenshots if we see 2012 out with no SA release.

Any idea why this thread was unpinned?
