Hi guys, So I was thinking of how there will most likely be base building implemented after release towards the end of the year. However, I think if torture was pulled off NOT just for trolling, and could be scripted in some way, it could work. By that I mean, look at this as an example Player1=Thief Player2=Base Owner Player1 goes to Player2's base. He takes a can of beans. When Player1 takes Player2's picked up beans, this could trigger an event due to the fact that Player2 had the beans first, so that Player2 can subdue and tie up Player1 using almost the same script as the immobile sit position. This could then lead to bear trapped rooms for your sick little minds... Combat-friggin-logging could also be disabled, or if they try, they trigger a trap. After all, nothing is more satisfying than seeing a retarded logger getting his leg caught in a bear-trap, screaming in pain. Just a li'l idea...

Stealth is key, comerade XD

LOL I guess my Governor fantasy is a distant dream XD, I do see where you guys are coming from though

This could be useful in roleplay servers, as well as a way to find someone's base. I understand what you mean, it isn't 100% practical, but then again, so are crowbars in DayZ XD

The amount of times people have posted this is the amount of hairs I have on my head...

Hello everyone, I have a different look on the opinion that making guns, food, and vehicles rarer will make the game hard. I find this more unrealistic on the parts of the developers and may make the game more boring. While this is contrary to most other forum posts, please hear me out. In reality if you ran out of food and water on your person, regardless of the situation and environment, you could always get more. However, what if you could make the game darker with more diseases? Most of the posts are asking more more diseases, what I am trying to point out is that if you give each one a special property it will make the game a lot darker, for example, I had my appendix removed in real life because it no likez me, but what if that happened in DayZ? What if you character starts to collapse and die and there is nothing you can do to stop it? Imagine how that would make the player feel? But saying this, I know someone MUST say on behalf of their dynasty that it will make the game suck if you bend over and die all the time, but- A.This mod and soon to be game needs more realism, face it XD B.That is the cruel reality of most near-lethal diseases/illnesses, with or without medical care If this were to be real life, and you drank water from a lake,you would probably get some nasty infection. This is quite real in the sense that if you are near some foundry in Cherno, imagine how much mercury or biomass would be in the water? Imagine in loot tables if you pick up a bandage, and some dude used it without the player knowing, and you get a blood disease. If realism is what the game is aiming for, I personally believe more of this type of feature should be added, rather than more stupid military guns or vehicle monstrosities. Anyway, I thank you for bothering to read my humble post, Majestic

I exactly agree with what you are saying, and how the suggestions some people have said are true, but I think for it to be authentic it needs to be an evolving feature (eg. The Road)

Hello, I am more of a vigilante in DayZ, and prefer to kill without killing. Essentially, what I do, is gain a person's trust, and 'befriend' them. I then, when they go somewhere, loot practically everything they have, and also steal things from their inventory. While shooting is easy and quick, this is more fun and maybe even more realistic. I hope more people do this, as this is not only more realistic and fun, but maybe classier XD I think this would make the mod/standalone more interesting, but it's just a thought. C'ya in Cherno

I probably agree XD

Hello survivors and bandits, I have a humble suggestion/request I would like to see either in the mod or standalone. I am a survivor living in Asia, and I love to play DayZ. Unfortunately, the only servers that are always on are American. They have the lowest ping (180), with an FPS of around 10 and with lag spikes, 1. Essentially, it makes you want to kill yourself XD Anyway, since there are many Asians playing the mod with server hosting that is unreliable here, it would be beneficial to everyone if there were more official dedicated servers, rather than some dude at his office using his S3 server. I hope you take heed of my advice, as this humble survivor is craving zombie blood...

I will look into this, it looks quite cool. Thanks dude!

I have very good hardware (Alienware M17x), but lag due to connection issues. My laptop can run the game decently, it's just bad connection

Yes I have, but they still lag. However, I connect depending on the ping inside Arma II, which may be incorrect. Usually, servers I can connect to are either spammed with side chat, infestd with hackers, or on some other island (I prefer vanilla). Anyway, yeah, Aussie and European servers lag. I have tried Russian ones, which are ok, but they often turn on and off frequently. I hope the on/off thing becomes something servers should be prosecuted for, as it buzzkills my DayZ happy time...

BTW, the servers that are hosted here are often really tiny and also are only on when the dude actually wants to play, so not often. For the past 4 months all the Korean/Chinese/Japanese servers have not been on (at least not that I have seen). C'ya in Cherno...

Hi guys, I am telling a true short story about what happend a few days ago with my first cold murder in Dayz... In the Darkness of Europe, the infected ravaged the plains. Many of the poor infected souls were soldiers, and were a source for weapons and (hopefully) food. I realized the best bet to find weapons and food was near a supermarket, so I headed north to a place known soley as "Factory." I was starving, thirsty, and low on ammo. I spent the night in the cold inside the cabin of a deer stand, holding a rifle with only one magazine left. I finally realized I needed food, and headed towards the market. I got down when I heard footsteps, and held my rifle, trembling with fear. I saw a man with a flashlight and lots of drinks, who must've been there earlier. Desperate, I fired a round at him. He was on the ground, bleeding and unarmed. I walked up to him, aimed my rifle for his head, and pulled the trigger. I realized how cold my sin is, but such is life. I didn't even get :beans: !! Just so you guys know, I like these kinds of stories about the game, so, I might as well post one :)

Hi guys, I was running in Kalenko or whatever when I warped to a place where all the other players spawned, and I magically had a gold revolver. Can someone check what happened? It was around 2:40 PM Asia time. This got me really scared, I dont want to get banned for something I didn't do :( Thanks a lot admins!

Hi guys, I am trying to make a point for the good of us in places like Asia or far Eastern Europe. Not all of us are hoppers! It is really hard to get a good connection, and we sometimes get ping kicked, frozen, or the game crashes. Maybe you could create a dynamic where people in these countries don't have as harsh server hopping penalties? I live in china and I have never found a server with green ping, and it really, really sucks. Maybe you could make more dedicated servers in Asia, as this is a big issue not a lot of people in other places have noticed. Thanks a lot!

The japanese servers have really bad ping here. Might have to do with da g*vernm*nt XD Jk's it actually is a lot like America here, just safer, brighter, and less gunz

Thats not true LOL, I am an american/mexican that plays WOW and its normal. A lot of the crap you hear is wrong, In america are people brainwashed and eat cheeseburgers everyday? Same thing.

I actually clicked on da buttons :)

Hi guys! I have an idea that if the player uses a flare in a town or something, instead of just the regular zombies in the town coming, it's a bit more like this: http://flowtv.org/wp-content/uploads/2011/01/Episode-1-Rick-Horde-760.PNG I think the paranoia would add to the suspense, and the player only being abe to stay on a rooftop or run like a madman is a big and epic (in the proper term) choice. Whaddiya think homies?

Hi guys! I had an idea that I know a lot of you are gonna say, "Its already there <_<", but I wanna give you guys a similar but different idea... Say you have a vanilla M16, and you want to find an optic, you go to an army base, get the Holo sight, scope, laser sight, whatever. You get that, but need batteries and maybe even a lens wipe if it rains. If you guys want realism, I can assure you NO game has ever used a lens wipe. But what if you have a sidearm? You pick up a sweet G17 with a mag that is kinda small, and the iron sights aren't very good. You go to an army base and pick up a bigger mag and a laser sight to pimp it out. This is just a suggestion and an opinion, so don't tell me that you hate me, 'cause I really don't give a :beans:

Hi guys, I am writing an actual recount of some epic Dayz gameplay in the style of a book :) These are just short stories I write for fun and I hope you enjoy them... It was dark in the plains of post apocalyptic Europe. Without a weapon after I killed a man in cold blood, I was thirsty and cold. I was trying to find some form of shelter in the cruel, infinite looking forest, but I was not satisfied. It was like something in a dream. The infamous propeller noise. In my joy, I yelled and asked for help, but I realized that what I hoped for hadn't come through. The chopper turned at me, with a bright light in front of me, and tiny red lights brought out the shape of this old war helicopter. I began to hear gunfire, and run furthur into the woods. It followed me for a while, but eventually lost me in the thickness of the forest. I began to wish I was dead, because I had lost the direction of a place I knew was safe and warm. I ran to a small town, and realized that this world was inhospitable. I lit a flare, the foul smell of the filament burning was like the smell of the corpses in the landing strip. The walkers ran at me, hungry for meat and thirsty for blood. I embraced the chaos, and I let the darkness devour me. Such is life... Thanks for reading guys! I hope you enjoy my short stories, If you write stories or know any good ones please recommend them as I would love to read them :) C'ya in Cherno!

Well, with enough code anything is possible, considering the maps are 225km 2 :)
