I'm only seeing one problem with this. Would other players be able to hear your dog? For realism purposes, I would hope yes, but for fun I would hope no. The reason being is that the dog would work well if someone was trying to sneak up on you, but in the opposite situation where you are trying to get the jump on someone else wouldn't the dog growling just be likely to give away your position?

I've been thinking about blood regen lately and how it could be implemented effectively. I know it needs to be extremely slow to stop the game from changing too much but I think it should be there. Basically, what I'm thinking right now is regenerating about 1k blood over the course of 24 hours (real time of course, not in game time). Obviously this needs to be time spent in-game so you can't just log off for a few days and come back at full blood, but I'm not actually sure this is possible. I'm half expecting to get flamed for this, as I know a lot of players are against blood regen, but I would really appreciate some constructive criticism.

I have to say, I actually like most of these ideas. Let me go through one by one. 1. I want to say that this feature already is in the game, if you hold still for a while you'll notice that your hunger/thirst drops much slower than when you're running round. 2. It's a good idea, but I don't know about actually repairing the guns. I might reword it as cleaning, with a consumable cleaning kit, but thats just me. 3. I honestly don't know if this can be integrated into the ARMA engine. We have ghillie suits, which make it difficult for other players to see us, but as far as I know it doesn't affect stats. However, I wouldn't be surprised if when Day Z goes standalone there will be other equippable clothing/armor that gives different benefits. 4. Not a fan of this one. The sickness seems alright, but the way I see it, the sporadic zombie movements are good enough already (besides needing some polishing) and quick time events would not be enjoyable or fit into the overall game. 5. Another idea I like, but again I don't know if this can actually be done. Different modifications/skins put on guns would be a nice touch.

The way I'm seeing it, nobody would use the money. I mean there really would be no reason at all to use it. Why give up good weapons/equipment you found for something that is completely useless. No one is going to give up their newly acquired FN FAL no matter how big of a wad of cash you throw at them because when it comes down to it, that money is going to be useless in a situation where you have to fight or die.

You said we aren't all doctors in the zombie world, so how would it be any safer or easier to give a blood transfusion to another person if we don't know what we're doing?

Server: US 2075 Hosted by DZG Time: Around 5:30 PST What happened: I was playing with a couple friends of mine and we met up at the Balota Airfield. We had to split up for a minute because one of my friends had aggroed a zombie. Once we met back up, a player in a ghilli suit appeared next to us (I'm assuming teleported). We started shooting him because he when we looked at him we could hear the heartbeat noise.When we found we couldn't hurt him, we all just ran. While we were running he took everything out of all three of our inventories, and teleported us all together. He then started spawning random stuff, including a bus, helicopter, a couple boats, and satchel charges, eventually blowing us all up. After we died, the game did not allow us to abort, so we had to ctrl+alt+delete to get out. We tried switching servers, but when we got in we actually spawned with the stuff we had before we died, but bleeding with a broken leg and unconscious with a timer that never went down. Unfortunately we could not get his name because we were playing on a hardcore server. EDIT: Forget to mention, my friend may have got it recorded, so I'll try and get the video up.

I have a request as well, and didn't want to start a new thread, though it isn't the same as these other ones. Basically, I was playing with my friend and we were searching an apartment in Berezino when we heard three other players near us. We managed to kill all three of them, and then looted them. At the time, I had an AKM with 7 mags, but upon looting them, I discovered one had an M4 Holo SD and several clips, so I took that. It was only my second day of playing this mod though, and after searching the forums and wiki a few hours later, I learned that it was a hacked gun and not meant to be in the game. Basically, all I am asking is for either the AKM and 7 mags be returned to me, or just let me keep the M4 ammo and just give me a different legitimate variant of the M4 if it's possible. I just don't want to be stuck right outside of town with nothing but a Makarov on me. Thanks for your time. Player name: Fragmagnet Player ID: 43776006
