right click edit: I completely agree, this new system is counter-productive and takes too long. Using the scroll wheel was intuative, this new system however is not.

Get night vision, problem solved.

Honestly, I think the "realism" is going to become overkill in this game, there are going to be too many gimmicky aspects to the gameplay that you have to worry about constantly which will detracts from actually playing and having a good time. Sometimes less is more, I just see all these things becoming a constant annoyance over time.

"Researchers examined the immunological responses to cold exposure and found that acute cold exposure, such as going outside without a jacket, actually appears to activate the immune system." This occurs in part by increasing the levels of circulating norepinephrine, one of the body's hormones, which works as a natural decongestant. I didn't say you were wrong, you just come off like an idiot if you make baseless claims without something to back it up.

Nice attitude.

Bacteria gets you sick, bacteria is everywhere, when your core body temperature has dropped you are much more susceptible to getting sick. It's a game, what is the problem?

What does this even mean?

The problem with this mod and the way it currently functions is it is trying to be nearly 100% realistic in an environment where that is not possible. There are no real repercussions in this game like in the real world and therefore no one cares about the lives of other players or their own actions. Basically they play it with a gaming mindset rather than if this were actually taking place. Going around and simply player killing is stupid as shit, we all know it and too many of you bums are hopping on the "it's how the mod is supposed to be played" bandwagon, or "there is no right or wrong way to play", bullshit. In real life if this were to take place people would be weary of each other just like in this game but they would not just kill for no reason, that is the gaming mentality kicking in and it's counter-productive to everything. Killing for gear and supplies to survive in this game is 100% unnecessary. There are always spawning weapons and there are always items and safe places and you can survive perfectly without ever having to kill anyone. Hell, you could stay in the proximity of a deer stand and survive indefinitely as it would always spawn new things. You can trust no one in this game unless you form some kind of alliance with a large group elsewhere such as a forum or community. Why do people join in groups or make factions do you think? The main driving logic behind doing so is for safety so people do not randomly just kill you off and your things are protected. It's a deterrent but not big enough; especially in an environment where cheating is extremely easy. Player killing needs to have real consequences, real ramifications for your actions. Something bad needs to happen to people if they shoot first and ask questions later. Do I know what that could be as of now? No, but I do know that there needs to be an in game consequence for doing it. I have survived 9 days now with zero bandit kills and zero player kills, and to be honest I am bored out of my mind and can you guess why that is? I have nearly almost zero player interaction aside from the group of people I play with simply because I do not want to go out killing people, I want to survive. The game right now is forcing you to be bored somewhere or go out recklessly and kill or be killed, it's extremely boring and stupid. I loved this game when I first started playing it, the first few days were fun because I was ignorant to how things worked but as time pushed on I saw the bigger picture and now it's boring. This is a zombie apocalypse survival game yet there is almost zero emphasis on the zombies, they are too easy to kill and too easy to survive from. If you get in a bind with them just run into a barn or some kind of structure and pick them off one by one as they enter until it is clear or stay away from towns and structures. You never have to really worry about them, you really only have to worry about other people, the game is just a large scale death-match right now with zombies thrown in the loop. People say having consequences for killing other players will damage or kill off the mod? On the contrary, player killing is killing off any positive player interaction it's the killing which is affecting everything and making the game stagnant.

Starting this morning each time I spawn I immediately go down, full blood, nothing hindering me whatsoever but I just fall to the ground and have to wait for the hourglass which takes like 4 minutes... What gives?

No, nothing was out of the ordinary and perfectly fine, just got on and this happened and its been happening each time I connect now.

Game gets super boring after a while of people just killing each other, it's going to be the downfall in the end and why people leave the game.

Honestly, you could have been hit by a stray bullet regardless of how ridiculous that may seem. This game uses realistic physics, bullets and bullet trajectories which drop so someone firing into the air on the other side of the map could have killed you in all reality.

Never trust anyone, get in a clan of some kind and move as a group, your survival odds jump 100 fold and people avoid you instead of the other way around.

you are screwed, time to respawn yourself

They can do the same thing in a low population or empty server, you have no point, whiny babies...

There is nothing wrong with passworded servers, people like to play only with friends and enjoy the game without all the killing or they are testing for bugs and doing other various things. It sounds to me like you are just left out of something exclusive and are simply complaining out of spite like a baby. This is an Alpha, this is not the retail game and if someone wants to password their server to get the most out of the game or find problems with it then who is anyone to say they can't? Who cares if they are farming equipment on their server? If they are not cheating and spawning items then what is the problem? They are legitimately acquiring gear in a controlled environment on their terms on a server they are paying for. Seriously if you have a problem with this you are just a whiny douche who is jealous that you are being excluded and have no friends, get over it.

This thread is extremely stupid, this is a mod and has nothing to do with Arma 2 or the Arma 2 community aside from using the game to run on; it's a completely different game and community. What you are trying to say basically is the Half-Life community is the same as the Counter-Strike community which is completely ridiculous. If you do not like the people who play this mod then stay away from them and it, it's really that simple. "irritate the existing community" What existing community? Like I said the DayZ community is the DayZ community, they have nothing to do with Arma 2 so your entire point is void. All of these people have the same exact rights that you do to be here and no amount of you whining is going to change that.

tl;dr

all good ideas.

wrong thread...

Wow OP, get a grip on reality LOL!

Steam always keeps your game up to date, the version on Steam is current.
