Okay, so my idea is to add a new item to the game. the beam radio , so for thoose who don't know what it is i'll explain in the spoiler. So the beam radio should be in use for transmitting as well as recieving radio. The radio item which is already ingame should allow you to recieve only. I'd make the beam radio a placable on the ground, which should have a menu with theese four options: ->changing the direction it sends(I'd use a compass for and a map in this menu, so you can be more effective in pointing). ->changing the angle you can transmit signals. I'd say from a minimum of around a parrallel beam, which is about 10 to 20 meters(must be tried out how excact) up to a 30° angle(have to be tried out as well). ->set to auto broadcast a short message(like a grid ref) evry 5-10 minutes. ->set to auto repeat mode(repeating any incoming radio signal to the pointet direction). If it's not possible to make it a placement with theese options than it should be carryable, so you can set the direction yourself, as this is the most important point of a beam radio. So as seen from the menu options, you can only recieve signals(texted as well as voice) only in the angle. The range should be unlimited and (even if it's not realistic) the signal(quality) should not be affected by the countryside or weather as it would make it an almost useless tool. I'd say you have to stand either very close to the beam radio or have to be in its menu in order to write/voip in the (new added) radio channel. I'd also say that any signal which passes the mountain should be repeated from their and so be accesable to listen over the whole map. The radio channel, should take in all transmissions coming across your position,but allow you to filter that you can only hear/read what a specific station/s(Id of the station not the player) sends, so now let's come to the possibilties it would offer: 1. You can communicate with other survivors without the danger of getting you position noticed like in the direct chat (using a small angle). 2. You can become a radio moderator with you own show! This would somehow add the feeling of not bein alone out there for other players hearing your broadcast. 3. Your clan would have a ingame tool for high range communications within the clan or with other groups, you want to discuss without the danger of getting hit immediately. 4. You can broadcast a emergency signal, which your local medic could recieve, and then goes helping you. 5. It's save if you want because you can encrypt text messages with real methods(handwork or tool) and trying to decrypt a enemys clan message would add an awesome new atmosphere. And the best thing, it's a verry realistic scenario as there always were amateur radio fans in real world crysis getting and repeating emergency signals and rebuilding a communication network, so help could be organized, as well as sending "the truth" from the place where things happen and the government supresses free journalism. If there'll be a real apocalypse theese guys will be the first ones sharing informations and networking, in order to survive and bring humans together again. As i'm neither an amateur radio guy nor in radio systems at all, i'd please you to optimize this idea with technical know-how. Of course evrybody should feel free to comment discuss and improve the idea.

yeah there's something wrong with teamspeak atm, can you add me on steam nev2k

So, where do you are and where do you need a ride to?

So i will start an ?independant? medical service for evrybody who applies! Edit! as this independant playstile didn't work well for me, i decided to join the TMW as soon (already trying to become an aspirant right now) as possible. My goal is to help people, but i don't want to bind myself to the TMW(Trusted medics of the wasteland), as i think they get quite a few aspirants per day and they should help people out there instead of bothering with organization. So I'd organize it the following way: You write me a pm in the forum. When i'm having the time, i'll react and we will make an apointment. At the place of meeting i will hide in the bushes and warn you to write your code. (in the pm will stand a three char code, which you use to identify yourself) After i helped you, I'd like you to confirm it under this post (if i robbed you, you can write it too ;) ) Rules: I will help evrybody who follow these rules 1. I am only going to help people, when they did not alt+f4 in order to survive, because that's poor gameplay and theoretically bugusing. 2. When we meet up you'd better not point your weapon at me, otherwise i'll not react to any calls for help and leave the place soonly. -----2.1 If you have a bandit skin and begin to shoot into my direction with no aceptable reason, i will shoot back. -----2.2 Lower your weapon or put it on the back (i'll add the key for this later) or have a flashlight equiped. 3. After i helped you i'll leave the place. Please don't chase me or anything, if you want to talk with me write it into the pm, so we can use a safer place. Further informations: 1. If i am not available you should ask the TMW, they hopefully help you. 2. I am doing this, because i'm kind, not as a job, so you may won't hit on me all the time, as i'm kinda busy right now. 3. Here is an example for a help request(it should look like this) and a possible answer: Hi my ingame name is Kyle.I am from UK I am east of NW airfield Medical status: Blood: 4500 Bones: healthy Conscious not bleeding can you please help me with a blood bag? Yes, i'll help you.Can we meet at the UK150 server in 15 minutes? I'll be in the woods northern of the industry with the fuel tanks, west from grishino. Grid: 046053 Your personal identification is rf5. If this is not possible for you, please contact me again and we find another place/time/server to meet. I hope to see you there alive. 4. I hope this post, going to prove my work, so any media support(video,screenshot) would be kind. 5. I'll see how or whether this will work in the next two weeks, so just give me a try, but please accept if i'm not able to help you atm you ask. 6. Even if i'm trying to use correct english it can occour that i'm making a mistake ;) english is not my native language, as i am from germany, but you can also write your help requests in german ;) 7. Oh i almost forget, my ingame name is Nev2k aswell. That's so far, Any ideas how i have to improve, in order to fullfill my mission? Then post it here.

Of course i'am not able to check this, but i just wanted to mention it

I'm there for help right now (even if i'm not an TMW member, but i wanna apply). Teamspeak would be ideal, and i'm in the south east/central.

So, as this independant medic stuff didn't work, i'm looking forward to join the TMW now

Well i think the third person, as well as the possibility to zoom in arma as well as in dayz, is neccessary, because sometimes the control of your char is to odd to get things done propaply, espiacally inside buildings. but to the OP i'd rather say, that you should make long range shots harder by adding a bit more scope sway, so that snipers have to be proned for +400 shots, which would force them to get out from behind the obstacle and force them to offer both players a good line of sight.

I actually think, that the as50 and m107 shut be keeped, they can reduce the spawn chance of it, or use another mechanic to get rid of weapons, because the system spawns new weps in, while it's very unlikely for them to disappear as evrybody takes them and keeps them, so there have to be either a spawn rate, dependant of the amount of weapons of that kind currently on the servers/in the hive, so it gets stabilized at a fixed amount of weapons per player. Or a system destroying weapons, like a lifespan until it get's destroyed, so you better get yourself a new one. Those should work for all non civillain/residental weapons and in my eyes also for tools like the nvg, rangefinders and gps, so the high value gear stays high value due to it's rareness. It would also keeps the bandits from the coast, as they have to constantly loot stary, nwa or crash sites, when they want to keep a good gear.

Well from the frankie gunshop event (although frankie wasn't there) I' took those stats with me: well here's the video, of what happened there so far, i hope you see, that i did not try to kill anyone, but help people out with blood and morphine. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F6koMAiQV9U&feature=plcp

As i thinking of becoming a medic right now, my spawn routin will change into: 1.run to the next town 2.find tools and backpacks 3.go to the hospital and gather medical supplies 4.gtfo and try to find some good gear, while waiting for patients. PS: as iam not whitelisted and i don't wan't to join the tmw(trusted medics of the wasteland), so i will whitelist myself :D

yeah i write you a pm

Well, for getting whitelisted by them i have to have references, which i can collect with this post ;) and if i establishe dmyself, having some logistics, i'll ask them to whitelist me

I'm of course trying not to kill people, but i'll feel free to shoot them unconscious and then bandage and blood bagging them. in order to take my stuff back, this can only work if we trust each other! Alright that's pretty cool, as i'm not having a vehicle yet, thanks for the offer!

So this is a list of links to forum topics i started, basically suggestions, which don't have place in my signature: player codex: http://dayzmod.com/f...0-player-codex/ radio: http://dayzmod.com/f...-amateur-radio/

Well i'm not supporting his idea of killing neutrals, i like neutrals, like switzerland. But the topic the op's regarding to is a point, which the medics should discuss themselves, as combat alt+f4 or zed alt+f4'ing isn't the way the game is supposed to be played. It's actuall a kind of bugusing, which indirectly gets supported by the medics, helping thoose guys. Of course there are also some who escaped/survived but in a badly state, requiring medical assistence. But the medics should make clear, that they only help thoose which didn't took the easy way and try to figure out who is a fair player. Otherwise the high niveau of morality brought by the medics isn't worth a penny. So i hope some medics read this and bring the point into there community and help making the game a better place. ;D

Don't give up! giving up to the banditery machine is like giving up to a dictatoric system. Just keeping your head down and live like evrybody makes you unimportant, unindividual, unneccessary. You have to set a sign, to be one of the tough guys, because standing the pressure is real strength. "To love life is not a shame, to disrespect live is not a sign of strength" -the incredible

Why is EYEZ a hero, is he a medic? or somebody helping out new spawned? I'd like to know because i get bored from the kill on sight gameplay, and i'm searching for impression of new gameplay

As i played this awesome game a long time now, I'd like to create a codex of good gaming. I mean the nicest moments i expierenced would always fit in it, and some behaviour is really annoying nad takes away a lot of fun from the game. So, here are my ideas how to behave when playing, as the game cannot force anybody to behave like this. General: -1- Love your character, it is him/her who has to survive and you should always try to survive. -2- Do not Alt+f4, neither hop servers to get to a good location or walk behind a player, relogg and kill him from behind. -----2.1- you should not hop server to get a nice weahter/daytime, but espiacally at the beginning a starless night is way hard to play. -----2.2- you should try to find one or a few home servers, you basically play at, so you get a community to deal with, may sattle down with some tents and/or vehicle/s -3-obvious but Do not hack/script, it is not the way of fun the game could provides normally, when you just get yourself an advantage and just kill evryone, when you need frags play CoD -----3.1- neither abuse bugs, for the same reason, seriously it makes the game to easy. Hardcore: -1- play on servers being at least veteran, so you have to estimate ranges, and the player/stuff recognition isn't that easy. -2- Do not create a backup camp to gear up quickly, it makes the death less important, as you just walk 20 minutes and have anything again -----2.1- if you're playing in a clan, your clan should figure out, whether the dayz experience or the group play is more important for you. if it is the experience then don't use the camp you created for gearing up again (i bet you have a clan camp :D) -3- Do not use voice programs if you play in a group. sounds silly, but makes the game way more intresting, when you have to be careful talking and stuff, may needs improvement like a radio for group chat, and noise reduction by range for the direct com. -4- play with the music turned on. Survivor: -1- try to group up with other survivors, so you can share and play together, making life easier. you can also just meet for a time and then split again, you don't need to use external voip, the ingame fits it fine. -2- you should only attack players when they are shooting/pointing there weapon at you or injure your personal space (when they're in melee/backpack) range, and refuse to stop their actions. -----2.1- sometimes you think sbd. wants to kill you but he's just there for loot etc. or accidentally gives you a reason to defend so, check twice before you're really risking to loose your morality -----2.2- free the little fishes, if sbd. with an axe tries to get you or sbd. wants to steal from your bag, just ensure they're no danger and force them to give your stuff back/stop attacking you, they might change there mind on people and the game, if they see, that not evrybody is a paranoid scavenger. -----2.3- let people alive, if you have to shoot, try to shoot them unconscious, bandage their wounds scavenge them and let them lie there, it will change their mind on players and the way they play -3- be warm hearted, help people, when they need your help and it's save to help them, they mostly will not shoot you in the back afterwards. Bandit: -1- Do not kill for fun! ,it's oviously dump, and doesn't help anybody, shooting at new spawned players don't get you balls. -----1.1- Rob instead of kill, you're a bandit because of the loot, not because you want to murder. -----1.2- estimate whether it's worth to rob/kill sbd. before you engage him. -----1.3- shooting sbd. unconscious is enough to get his loot with minimalized risk. -2- You can still be a nice guy, just because you're robbing it doesn't mean you can let the people keep a minimum of stuff or help underlootet persons. -3- Rob at your niveau, robbing the beans out of a one hour old player in zub castle, while carryng an high military weapon is dump. again estimate first whether it's worth to rob or not. -4- Don't destroy camps or vehicles, if you got what you wanted/needed than it's fine and you can leave instead of destroying evrything, if some people got a vehicle you wanted to have you should not destroy it just because, they have it and you don't,instead try to investigate their camp and steal what you want. -----4.1- if you're in a fight with the owner of the camp you can destroy it, if it really minimalize the risk, of revenge. -5- Respect your victims, it's obvious. they are player, having a hard time in this game, you should show them the respect you should give to evryone ingame as well as in the real life -----5.1- if you have to kill them, and they're already unconscious you should tell them why you had to do it, and share the moment of death with them, it is an impressive experience! So that's basically what i think is a good player codex for dayZ. If you have any additions corrections, or want to have a detailed explanation for a point, feel free to comment but explain your thoughts.

Yeah, mainly hacking stuff into the game or porting people somewhere, more expierenced can even become invisible or a dead corpse, while still alive

Okay, basically the standalone is confirmed, there are heavy issues with hacker, humanity was reintroduced(beware of loosing your backpack when skin changes). Choppers were reintroduced without the radar. The server refilling clips bug is fixed and evrybody is QQing about hackers, while the amount of high tier gear in cycle became very much, due to tent replication, so NWA and stary gets less frequented. And there will be tamebal dogs in the next patch :D

Okay, so my idea is to add a new item to the game. the beam radio , so for thoose who don't know what it is i'll explain in the spoiler.

yeah, the radio would be a very strategical tool, as well as a tool to group up, have safe in game contact with stranges or, as a tool to broadcast your own radioshow.

Well, as a lot of players are keeping their asses down in elektro, sniping the whple day, and duped weapons lying around evrywhere, there is simply no need of going to stary or NW airfield. good sniper spots, are at the edge of the airfield, in the / almost in the woods, from where you can watch the tower, the hangars and the fire station as well as, the most important northern barracks
