Did anyone else sing the title to the tune of a popular Radiohead song in their heads?

Indeed. Chernarus is its own fictitous country. It's neither in Russia, nor the Czech Republic. Back on topic - like someone else said, the M4 was the best weapon for testing out the new attachment system so that was the first weapon that was completed and the others just aren't ready yet. There was an AK-74 in one of the closed test builds, so I would assume that it will be back a long with a lot of other weapons.

You don't have to server hop, just get off the coast... Of course you aren't going to find anything in the most looted spots on the map.

My favourite time in DayZ was back when I'd just started playing the mod, I had no idea where I was and there were no online maps. You'll find that you'll develop a much deeper knowledge of the map by finding your own way around too.

As above - nothing is finished.

If you want a challenge try playing without a backpack. :)

Stick something on your W key so that your character keeps running and your hunger and thirst deplete more quickly. If you have any disinfectant or anything else that can make you sick then that could help too.

Locked. Don't feed the trolls.

Try standing next to the wall and logging out and then back in. If you're very lucky you might end up on the other side of the wall. Failing that - wait to die. Something similar happened to me and I just had to drink disinfectant and slowly die...

First suggestion is: Making sure all houses have a chance of loot Agreed. I think it's silly that you know to bypass some buildings as they don't spawn loot. Second Suggestion is: New signals to help aid teamplay I can't see these being useful TBH. Most people use 3rd party VOIP programs anyway. Third Suggestion is: Prevention to combat loggers - Internal Cooldown timer on the amount of servers you can switch in 5 minutes (Max 2) ? This wouldn't prevent combat logging. A timer will be added to the logout button at some point to make it more difficult to quit out of a gunfight. Fourth Suggestion is: New melee weapon - Sledgehammer A sledgehammer is too heavy to be practical for carrying over long distanced IMO. I'm sure we will see some more melee weapons as time goes on though... Fifth Suggestion is: Adding Statistics and Acheivements tab to make people work more towards the PVE aspect of zombies and making people along with PVP more working towards the aims of the game. Stats would just encourage PvP IMO. DayZ is not a game that should be played to "win", it should be played solely for the survival experience. Sixth Suggestion: Disable Zombie Agro upon spawn until 3 seconds Don't log out near zombies? :S Seventh Suggestion: Unique Seasonal Change (i.e Wind/ Snow/ Sun/ Rain) Rocket says that this is impossible without recreating the map from scratch, although I'm unsure why exactly. Eighth Suggestion: Blindfire around the corner (Accuracy Diminished) Not sure if it's possible within the engine but I don't really see any reason against it, although it seems like a silly idea in a game where ammo is scarce.

Rocket is highly against the idea of NPC characters as he wants DayZ to be a 100% player driven experience. I don't think you will ever see NPC characters in DayZ.

No. In DayZ if you eat, drink and rest you will regenerate blood and health over time. It's quite simple really.

But there are currently only two primary weapons in the game and one of them (i.e. 50% of the weapons in the game) is capable of sniping. :huh:

I'm just waiting for more content TBH. There's only so much play time you can squeeze out of a game in such an early form. I just hop on to see what's up for a little while after every patch.

There is influencing design decisions and there is attempting to change the direction of the game.

In all honesty I think the backpacks are limited as they are because others are yet to be added... We had about 10 different kinds in the mod.

At the end of the day a forum poll doesn't really make a difference, Rocket's "vision" was that of a survival simulator or "anti-game" and it's kind of his game.

Well if we add .50cals then we should probably add nukes. That's the reverse of your argument. It's not very strong, is it?

Honestly, when you've got a 3Gb card I doubt having extra monitors that aren't running the game will make much of a difference... I doubt DayZ is using more than 2Gb of VRAM. I use these settings, so I mean... They're turned up quite high, but not completely maxed or anything... You could always give some launch parameters a go to try and get a bit more hardware utilisation too... -cpuCount=4 -exThreads=7 -maxvram=3072 -maxmem=8192 Not sure what the max that you can get DayZ to use is at this point so I just put in everything I have. I know that if you put a value above the max then it just reverts back to max anyways so it can't do you any harm. Also, make sure video memory is set to 'auto' in-game.

Yeah, I figured they would just be props. Nice touch though. :)

You should just hit the "quote" button and then the post should appear in the text box at the bottom of the page ? :S

Weapons can't just be ported over from ArmA 2/3, they have to be completely redone for attachments etc. to be able to function as they do in DayZ. Patience, young one...

Combat logging - 30 second logout timer Server hopping & ghosting - 10-15 minute cooldown on server changing These can easily be fixed without causing too much inconvenience to the legitimate players.

There has literally been zero work done on audio at this point, hence the bugged zombie and can opening sounds playing all the time. They're having a specialist audio team come in and work on it.
