DayZ is suppose to be an immersive experience of a harsh existance in the zombie apocalypse. It's not. It's a B grade horror flick that engages you with for all of five minutes before you realise once again you've been burned by popular word of mouth and you've ended up in yet another shitty team deathmatch game. Surviving in DayZ isn't hard. There's no reason to be fearful of the Zombies, anyone with an IQ greater than their shoe size knows this. You could make the zombies little golden retriever puppy dogs and the game would play exactly the same. My solution is simple: DINOSAURZ. I don't know why it's happened, but for some reason there are dinosaurs in Chernarus. All variety of dinosaurs, from the herds of relatively docile Brontosaurus to packs of clever Velicoraptor right up to the fearful Tyrannisauris ready to rip the roof off your stupid UAZ and eat you whole. As the Dinosaurs will have dominated the food chain they will be the only reliable source of food, as the smaller animals able to evade the dinosaurs will be difficult to hunt. Hunting the dinosaurs will be incredibly difficult as many of the weapons will be ineffectual against larger dinosaurs, so you don't want to become the prey yourself when you are out in the wilderness. Rocket, if you are reading this, I hope you use this idea, but if you don't I will make a mod for your standalone game and when it becomes popular I will make a standalone game myself.

Sorry bro, I posted to reddit first, and when I pasted it over it pasted as rich-text. I have since fixed it!

Yeah sure. DayZ dev team can do whatever they want. But a nerf to hill snipers outside cherno/elektro would be fantastic; I think it's one of those things that is done without purpose and it does discourage new players. Hell, it discourages me knowing it goes on and 2/3 of my characters are nowhere near the coast.

What. DayZ removed wind? Can you elaborate on this statement please buddy?

I think it won't have much of an effect as you think: These people sniping often have ghillie suits. If so, they can easily regain their ammo by changing clothing. I'm not sure if it is a common trend, but I have snuck up on quite a few godmode snipers - no matter how many swings of the axe they get, or bullets to the head, they will not die. These guys obviously would have no trouble spawning ammo for themselves.

Sorry. How do you know this guy was not legit? People trade for Satchel Charges all the time, doesn't mean they hacked it in. I'm glad your admin buddy restarted the server though so you could horde 7 vehicles in your camp. Considering almost all servers are run by clans, and in my experience none of them have any problem restarting a server if their vehicles get taken or destroyed - adding this kind of ability is a very bad idea. I think a better idea would be one reserved slot for dedicated volunteers or game staff, or perhaps more could be reported to the (a different?) hive where it can be actioned from there.
