Here's a few videos I did this week. Hope you like them. DayZ, A day in the life of DayZ, a day in the life pt.2. Becoming a Bandit. Lets go Ghillie Biking!!!

Yep. Same issue. Logged off my original character. Logged back in and died instantly. Now every time I log in i seem to have someone elses stats and start position but not their gear.

Since the inclusion of the tempurature gauge and catching colds. I've had a few ideas. Playing on a server yesterday it started to rain and my tempurature started dropping pretty quick. I'm not sure of the exact figures but in about 30mins my temp dropped from 100 to 40. To stop my temp going lower I either have to find firewood and sit beside a fire for 5 mins or stand inside a building until I can go out looking for firewood when the rain stops. Now, i'm all for realism in DayZ but sitting idling or afking in a barn until the rain stops doesn't make for a very exciting game. And I'd much rather just leave the server and look for one that it isnt raining. I noticed a few others on the server actually did leave to avoid catching cold. Problems: 1. Firewood is to scarce and it takes up 2 slots. So carrying more than one firewood is costly. 2. Antibiotics don't spawn enough. Played 5-6 hrs and not found any. It should appear in general stores quite a bit. 3. Forcing players to stay indoors isn't much fun. 4. Temp drop in rain is too quick Suggestions: 1. Addition of axes. Fits in lower inv slots (infinite use). Allows player to collect wood from trees. Down side. Makes lots of noise when chopping wood. 1.1 If not the above maybe firewood spawns could appear more in woodland areas and be readily available. 2. Tents to be made enterable as shelter. 3. Addition of a clothing system. Clothing system: This could work like other armour systems seen in other games like Diablo3 but made waaay simpler. You would have slots for Torso, legs, feet, hands and head. For Torso you could have 2 types of colthing which is worn on top of default clothing 1. Water proof jacket: Slows temp drop but isn't camoflauged and easier to see. 2. Armour vest: Improved armour rating but increased temp drop or slows running speed. Other slots could simply be Water proof trousers, Heavy boots, Hats and gloves. All decrease the temp loss but might increase visibility. Depending on how it'd be balanced. Thoughts?

Suggestion: add axes (goes in lower slots, infinite use) which you can collect wood with from trees. Also sitting around a fire needs to warm you up quicker. Heavy Clothing, water proofs and thermal underwear would be a nice addition as well. Like an armour system in other games (diablo3) but as protection against the elements.

Yes, they should be scrapped. In a real zombie apoc Bandits wouldn't magically wear different clothing. I don't play as a bandit but I find it odd that their clothing changes because of the descisions they've made.
