Personally I'd rather have double or triple the amount of zombies that can ONLY walk, and ONLY be killed with a headshot. At the moment getting a headshot is hard due to the buggy animations and the fact that the zombies like to turn into Olympic marathon runners at random times.

Why not just make it so you can give yourself a blood transfusion but it takes A LOT longer, something like 2 minutes or something. Yes you can always eat steak and food but still, if you're flying solo and get hit a few times you're pretty screwed if there's no food or animals around.

I don't know about a zombie free town, but rudimentary base building would be sweet, nothing too over powered or crazy, but maybe adding sheets of metal and scraps together to build a kind of base, a big somewhat fortified tent basically, if you could lock the doors and give your friends all a key that would be awesome too. Now I think of it tho, it'd be cool to have a city on the map that is a "safe zone" a city that was fortified by the military before the infection hit, but that would pose a lot of problems, and probably be nothing but pvp.

I think booze might be cool, first time playing the game I kept looking for full whiskey bottles. I guess it could be kinda like a pain killer, or heal sprains or minor injuries but if you have too much (Realistically a bottle is too much but say 2 bottles) your characters gets drunk for 5 minutes. Could be useful in tight situations with no painkillers

All of that information is stored in the server logs isn't it?

I can't tell if you're joking or not. You want to be able to choose where you spawn... And not spawn in the forest? I think you're missing the ENTIRE point of this game, it's a zombie survival game, it might not be the most realistic game(mod) in the world but being able to choose your spawn would turn this game into CoD(The newer CoD's mind you not the good ones), the whole point of this game is to spawn in the middle of no where, find a gun, defend yourself, find better gear, meet up with friends. Yes it can take a long to meet up with your friends, but that's why when you do meet up you have to make damn sure you don't die, you have to defend yourself and your friend you have to trust no one, because one bullet could mean running around in the forest for another half hour trying to find each other, and that, is the point of the game. Choosing your own spawn would be horrendously stupid, everyone would just spawn in Cherno or Elektro and the game would turn into Counter Strike or CoD.

What about using the flashlight to beat zombies with? You spawn with a flashlight, in real life you could use anything as a weapon, swinging your backpack, using the flashlight etc.

Good idea!. Do you (or anyone else) notice any performance issues with running Dayz through Steam?

I've only noticed hackers on US servers which is weird.

If anything 7 days isn't long enough. It's meant to be hard, getting a helicopter is meant to be a really big thing. If it spawned every half hour you could just sit at the spawn point waiting for it. At 7 days it's anyone's, and it comes down to being in the right place at the right time or heading to a chopper spawn at the right time (Which is impossible to know for sure). It keeps it challenging and interesting.

The video was good but I disagree with re-spawning every time you get a bad spawn, and I definitely disagree with server hopping to get loot.

Looks cool but I don't like the gas mask. The person in the photo doesn't look too much like the survivors in game, other then that cool wallpaper.

+1 For Dayz commander. There is a way to get the game working with Arma2 Free + Arrowhead so you only have to pay $17 or whatever it is, but the textures aren't as detailed (Just look at the difference in file size).

What about if you run into a zombie you can knock the zombie over? Punching or pushing could be useful, it isn't that hard to find a weapon I suppose BUT, in real life you'd be able to use anything as a weapon (Hands, feet, swinging your backpack, charging and pushing them over etc etc), or maybe even being able to use the flashlight to smack zombies.

You could test the theory and let us know. I've never found a tent in game so I have no idea, maybe someone else who knows will post.

3 i think

I would happily pay $60, I've had way more fun playing Dayz then whatever the last CoD game I played (Which costs $100 on release), and I haven't even found a gun yet!. The game is definitely awesome, the community is awesome, and the developer(s?) seem to be awesome too. And enjoy the beans lol, it was a helpful post.

Well the 2 other helpful replies knew. Meh, I'll be $60 in but that's cheaper than 1 new game here (Australia). Thanks for the reply, has my beans.
