    How to make death actually matter more

    Everyone who purchases the SA is also given one cyanide capsule they place in their mouth. Upon dying you will be instructed to bite down on your capsule. If you fail to accomplish this on your own, a band of assassin ninjas will flip out on you and totally destroy everything and everyone you ever loved...and bang your girlfriend. Haha, just kidding, they'll know you don't have a girlfriend.

    Sevral ideas

    1. I like the idea of salvaging parts from cars. I know destroyed vehicles are being reworked as far as interaction, but to what extent, I don't think that's public knowledge yet. 2. Backpack hording fetish? I could see maybe placing 1 small acu bag or something inside your bag, but I don't see a need for storing bags. Just encourages hording more and I am not a fan of hording. 3. Been suggested before, with a little bit of prestory associated with it. Wake up in a hospital, prison, back of an ambulance, etc. I really hope something like this is implemented to give your personal story a little more depth. I woke up on a beach...is a little bleh. 4. I think there should be higher volume of loot in the city, but as far as high value, no thanks. Just encourages a shitty zombie vs player vs player urban warfare bullet fest and detracts from the survival. 5. Yes. I like it. It's great and I know they breifly mentioned it during one of the dev blogs. I think it's just a matter of getting enough zombies on a server and not destroying the frame rate. I think they're up to something like 4,000 zombies per server. I'm not sure if that's with or without the new skeletons but I want to say before. New skeletons should be more optimal for massive amounts of zombie and not turning your frame rate to shit. 6. As a zombie fan, i'm not a fan of surviving the bite. Not a bad suggestion, just against my personal preference. If you're going to do zombie bites. Give players the ability to play as an infected for a bit. However, I see this taking away from the survivors game as everyone wants to run around and try to troll as a zombie (which would be fun). Maybe a novelty on occasion thing. 7. Solid immersion idea. Minimize light usage, etc. I like. 8. Meh, there's enough player camps out there. 9. Entire world is being redesigned for the stand alone. But this could add some immersion. I like, thumbs up. 10. This will end up being a pvp raid site. I can see it now...and it could be really cool. Clan on clan kind of thing. Jacking each other's houses trying to steal each others loots. No real way to defend it as no one can stay logged onto a server 24/7 and watch there stuff. I doubt it would work in a way that would be cool. I know they've discussed underground instanced bases to minimize loading information on servers. We'll see. I'm sort of against any kind of instanced base. It allows for hording with no chance of loss. I like the fact that at any moment you could lose everything. Some decent suggestions. I suggest reading/watching the devblog. A lot of what you said is being addressed. Some good ideas though. Beans for you.

    add money to the game

    ...if they do implement money, I hope it has no value other than starting a fire. Economics 101: No government or financial institution to back the note, it's not worth a damn thing. Apocolypse, government has fallen. No one is taking Russian Rupies anymore, because the Russian Government isn't around to say it can back it's currency with export, precious metals, energy, oil, etc.

    add money to the game

    Or 1 can of beans for tug jobs in the church in Elektro...

    add money to the game

    Been suggested. Been flamed, buried into the ground, and labeled as a horrible idea. Keep charging beans, good sir.

    Does Dayz use up a lot of Internet?

    Bohemia Interactive, your game is stealing everyone's Internets and they can't watch my cat videos. :(

    More food options for DayZ, the game

    Apple cupcakes! I would mash my face in some fucking apple cupcakes (in game)!

    Infection killing you?

    You need antibiotics. You're sick.

    Really bad ideas that suck!

    I like the unique spawn point idea. Not so much penalize humanity, but just the idea of waking up in different places.

    differnt zombies (zombie species)

    Wait, yeah great idea. Then we can name it Resident Evil 19 or L4D3. Yeah no thanks. Keep it simple. Solo, minimal threat. The threat with zombies is always their numbers.
  12. A little concept i've learned while serving in the military. PCC/PCIs. Pre Combat Checks/Inspection. As soon as your able to you should be hunting down animals. There's minimal opposition at random parts of the forest. Part of survival is preparation!
  13. Eat meat like everyone else?
  14. I don't know how to say this without being a smart ass. You want to to add sleeping to the game? Sounds action packed...

    Hopes for a darker future

    I want to make sweet passionate moist necrophiliac love to a zombie. Chop chop, rocket. Make it happen.

    DayZ in a way, has ruined gaming for me!

    I still have considerable amount of hours logged on BF3. I really enjoy BF3 and Day Z. I don't like to get hung up on just one game. Day Z is great, but it's not the end all be all of video games. I also play BF3 in league play. Any type of league play where something on the line makes every moment tense. Maybe try jumping up from casual gamer to competitive gamer. Not saying to go out and hope to make money. You might find though you get that similar rush as Day Z, with your entire load out on the line trying to survive at all costs. I think people assume Day Z is so addictive because it's realism. It's addictive because you HAVE something to lose. A lot of video games have gone to a mass marketing approach so that they're appealing to as many groups of people as possible. The hardcore gamers are not the majority of the market anymore. Day Z was one of the few games that threw it all on the line and proved people like a challenge. The last game I remember having any real repercussions for dying (and I haven't played all the games) was Everquest PVP server. You actually lost equipment, you lost hours or even days of experience, and possibly a few hour trek back to your corpse if you didn't remember to bind your character to the nearest city. EQ PVP intially had a huge following, but eventually the unbalance of the classes made it lose it's appeal. So, the TL;DR: Games aren't risk adverse anymore. Day Z is, that's why it's so addicting. Try playing in leagues or ladders.

    What are your stories of friendship or betrayal?

    KoS is an easy method of play. Developing a relationship and trust and then turning on the person...that's brilliant and takes as much talent as your best non-lethal bandits or heroes.

    What are your stories of friendship or betrayal?

    I have a group of 4 other dutch guys I play with on weekends. But a lot of the times I find my self lone wolfing it during the week. The group I run with I have been gaming with for a while now, so I know them well enough to know that they're probably going to troll me at some point, and they know that at some point I'll probably troll them if the right moment comes up. But, yes, if we're all the right mood and playing seriously, I trust them.

    What are your stories of friendship or betrayal?

    True story: I was on my 3rd day of playing. Relatively new, I died several times already and the best weapon I found was an AK47 from the fire station in Elektro. I'm a fresh spawn, and the server is pitch black. I'm walking around trying to figure out how to get close to a city to grab some quick loot and maybe use the cover of darkness to explore a bit without getting insta sniped by a bush. While peaking around in a warehouse I come face to face with another survivor. Neither of us have weapons but we don't realize that immediately. We're both screaming FRIENDLY at each other for about 30 seconds. I wish I recorded it, because I'm sure it would of been funny to see. After we calm down and realize we're not yet a threat to each other, we decide to move together towards a city. My newly acquired "friend" and I are chatting a bit. He's a German fellow and I am an American (I live in Germany, so I find this quite a bit). We're chatting about how intense Day Z can be, giving each other heads ups about zombies in the area. We make our way to Cherno, and eventually to the military tents. I scooped up an axe in route, my partner is still weaponless. In the military tents my partner finds an M9 SD and an AK, and leaves me with nothing. I instantly felt betrayed. So I took my axe and lodged it into his skull. After the adrenaline rush faded from what I had just done, I looted his body and got the Silenced pistol and AK. I never saw that guy in game again, but at that moment, I realized the bandit/murder life was for me.

    money and newspaper

    While you've mentioned an interesting way of using money there are way more practicable things to do than search out large sums of money to use as insulation and re-sizing shoes. Nice creativity though.

    would dayz run on this and how well

    You should be able to run it with minimal issues.Edit: Misread the Video Card.

    The switch from console to PC

    Ah, PC Gamers. Such elitist. They don't want to tell you that FPS games are actually EASIER on PC than they are on consoles. But, I do love the longer draw distances! Especially on BF3.
