because its not CoD or BF3. Being able to fly a chopper in the situation of some zombie apocalypse is some insane advantage in a 225km^2 map. Choppers should always be rare!

No. Ingame timer would suck. The web link thing is a good idea. There is really no need for a timer.

Dudes... find the stuff to make a fire and you'll get around 3k blood per animal killed. There is really no need to implement new ways of restoring blood. In 2+ teams its even easier. I mean you can fill someones blood in 5 sec up to 12k. Thats just stupid and should be removed or at least limited to an maximum of 2k blood per bloodbag or something.

I hope they will have some monthly payment, since it would keep the little kids away and they could make enough money to host their OWN SERVER (e.g. no admin abuse, no restarts, up to 200+ slots,...) and could invest the money in some nice addon/dayz2. AWESOME IDEA I KNOW

What about some of these nice gyrocopters. http://www.valentinsgeschenke24.de/media/pictures/view/gyrocopter-tragschrauber,-,-gyrocopterflug,-rundflug,-152.jpg - can handle up to 2 ppl. - only 20 slots - up to 60min of flying Would be AWESOME!

I would also suggest that you get some damage bonus if you re driving with your hood, e.g. all of the ppl inside the car are black. What about this?

Chill out. There will be a lot more skins available (at least at beta/stand alone) since this is quite easy to implement (at least those who are already available in arma2). In my opinio the skin in your utube video looks kinda gay. I would prefer to stay with the actual one but would love to see more skins being lootable.

I dont get the shit with all this faqing consoles. I mean why the heck are ppl playing games (especially shooter) on some dumb controller when they could have max control over their aiming at some pc?

A new trading system would be grate but the 100m not being able to kill each other is purely shit. If someone wants to get your gear he will shoot you right before the trade and not afterwards. Besides that: Its a survival game in which you should only trade with ppl you trust like FRIENDS. I hate this "who wants to trade guillie+nightvision for my m4sd" shit. If you want to upgrade your stuff this way go check the diablo auction house.

Okay, so whats the point of killing yourself in a survival game?

Sounds like some really realistic army survival game. NOT You know there are also Painkillers in May Payne? You should give this game a try.

In order to answer your question where to find weapons really quick. There are many common ways... Non-roleplay variant: Know where you spawned (look at the lower right corner) tab out and have a look at some of the dozens interactive "where to find barns/dear stands maps". Works perfect if you have spawned west of Cherno. Usain-Bolt variant: Just run straight into Cherno/Elektro Supermarkets/Churches/Fire Station. Forget about crawling or sneeking. Get killed or loot massive Weapons/Ammo in a few minutes. Im-so-pro variant: Do the Usain-Bolt variant on some very low populated server and do the server switch dance.

Somehow depends on your pc. For me pressing shift+MINUS_ON_NUMPAD and typing "flush" in general solves this problem. I was told this 'command' refreshes your video memory. After shift+"-" nothing will happen (no chat channel or whatsoever). Just press flush afterwards. You should then see your screen reloading. If this isnt helping you try to face directly towards the artifact and try to change your resolution/3d resolution or the two things on the top left corner of the "advanced" settings. Before i know this shift+"-" thing changing AA sometimes helped me out.

Servus, I am not really into this whole server hosting thing (in any game/mod). Are the dayz servers private servers running on private machines or are they running on professional servers and people (which will in general be the admins i think) pay for this 'service'? I also have no clue how heavy weight on the performance the whole mod is, so i dont know if it is just technically not possible or just too expensive to run servers which could host up to 200 people or more. I often run hours through the landscapes from city to city without seeing any evidence for other player (i know there are hotspots but this landscape (mod in general) deserves more investigation then just farming NWE, Cherno or Elektro). Even though i play on servers which host 25+ player. There are also many people grouping up so that even with 40+ player on the server you just have one bigger group, some smaller groups and some single player which is nothing compared to the size of the map. I think a 200+ server would be awesome since it then could really be hard to survive because food and medicine is limited. Once you purchased some good gear it is really no challenge at all and the only thing left is to kill other people or get killed. It is somehow frustrating when you run hours through woods and landscapes in the northern parts of the map knowing that the chance of meeting someone is equal zero. Then you get shot in the middle of nowhere just because the 0.001% case happened and someone was in the same spot and obviously not friendly. Imagine a 300+ server where the hotspots are heavily invested by some bigger groups. The only chance for the 250+ other player would be to fight for their lives in the northern regions. Sneaking through forests and woods with that amount of player would cause you to be paranoid at any point in game, which is in my opinion, the most important thing in this mod. If then good weapons (Rifles, all the military weapons) would be much more rare and almost all of the buildings (especially the normal houses) are enterable, THIS would be some perfect survival experience. But this is just another topic. I would even pay monthly for such a server. Greetings.

When playing with two friends we decided not just to raid Cherno/Elektro but to meet and get into the northern parts of the map. Since there are not that much supermarkets and a lot of low valued buildings we quickly ran into the problem of finding enough drinks. We got somehow unlucky with the loot and since we had to do slash 3 for all things we find we ended up in sacrificing one of us (we shot him in the head just to make it more dramatic), so i head the idea of: - some kind of aura which causes all nearby player (maybe 30meter radius) to degenerate water/food just with some rate of -10% per additional group member. - in terms of the background story this is also quite realistic since your feel much more comfortable within a group then alone if forcing some zombie apocalypse. - this should only work in pure wilderness (forests, landscapes). people fighting each other in cities are often within some meters of each other, so they should not be getting such an aura from each other. so: this aura will automatically applied to all players outside cities which are within 30 meter of each other. What do you think about this idea? Greetings.

Good point. So what about INCREASING the rate? :D (Just kidding) But you are right. The benefits are huge enough even in terms of being able to use bloodpacks etc. So i think this idea was pure shit. Sorry for that.

There is another issue i have in terms of Payment: I dont know which payment system dayz will be focussed on but i think i heard it will be some minecraft-like one-time buying (in beta cheaper then on release...) which i think is purely shit since no company (besides the very big ones maybe) can run good server for several years just with the game copies they sold. Instead of letting people rent a server (this could still be an option) they should make some monthly payment system like in many MMORPG's and host their own awesome 300+ slot servers. Besides that there could be some money left over to invest in dayz2 (lol, fist of all dayz should be past-alpha...) I know that many people dont like monthly payment (they could play on rented servers) but it would seperate the wheat from the chaff because most of the people not willing to pay monthly for a game are little kids (they should stay away from such games anyway). And i am pretty sure there would be enough player to pay monthly for such a game (IF IT IS DONE).
