How about the ability to choose when our chute deploys instead of it doing automatically? Would make high altitude drops faster. (and with less risk of being spotted)

I never said it would contain high end loot... I said it would contain mid end loot. Maybe not even that. Notice how some things on the list have been CROSSED OUT. That is because they were too good to be found in this. Also I say RESULTS WILL VARY. Some Patrols might have NOTHING worthwhile in them because they have either been picked clean or the patrol survived and the remaining soldiers looted their fallen comrades and moved on.

NEver said the ammo would be full. Results would vary. Maybe some patrols died without firing a shot. Maybe some expended all their ammo. The loot could vary a lot.

Never said it wasn't. These patrols won't be common. They will be rare. Just not as rare as heli crashes.

Putting steal in front of you WON'T help. Remember in medieval times we wore plate armor. That plate armor itself was thick and often with chain-mail under that and padded armor under that. That is pretty thick. It didn't stop MATCHLOCKS. That is why they stopped wearing it. (though calvary often wore some form of armor). If all that steel didn't stop a matchlock musket. How do you think a piece of steel would fare against a assault rifle? As the op said he never intended custom armor vs players. Was just pointing that out for everyone trying to argue you could make homemade bulletproof armor without Kevlar. HOWEVER. The ideal shows some promise against zombies. If anyone hear ever read World War Z then you know they had all sorts of armor against zombies. Bite-proof fabric, chain-mail. They would even wear leftover medieval armor if they found it. So the ideal of making armor to protect from zombies sounds interesting. (Though they should still be a threat if you swarmed).

Interesting concept. You are basically starting off in bad shape but with a chance of being in a better area. Could be good but it would need to be tested, Doubt it would be hard for a server to add a random spawn. Like wasteland. Most servers have the option to random halo jump.

The ideal was the patrol contains mostly common grade loot like AKM's and ak74's. The other ideals were VERY rare. The patrols themselves would be rare just not as rare as heli's. Also NagstaTheGangsta its a game. Of course in RL the military would probably tromp the Dayz zombies. But in games you have to bend reality a little bit. Also maybe they got attacked by Hundreds of zombies. Think of it, all those gunshots going off would be a big dinner bell. Back to the loot. Like i said 80% of the patrols would just contain basic eastern Europe firearms and a small amount of medical and survival kit. The odds are finding a high powered sniper would be incredible rare..

Wont that system give away the fact that I am being targeted? I can be walking down a road casually and then suddenly the combat thing ticks off. So I know someone somewhere just aimed at me allowing me to take cover when I otherwise might have been ambushed.

What good is gold and gems to me? Also I can see the experience I would have already if all the dayz maps were combined. LAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAG (unless...you have one of THOSE computers)

INCEPTION GET BACK TO YOUR THREAD AND FACE THE DEMONS YOU UNLEASHED! You can't hide from the responds forever! (the op has vanished into the abyss) Also lettuce could work. Chernnaus has a good amount of farms. Go by the farm pick up some lettuce. Eat it real quick before it expires. Get the seeds plant more. repeat.

???? You showed me nothing. Also early access is not release.

Don't rush it....we don't want to end up like the games that do... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RtKAm3nzg6I http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KjTa_x3rbJE

Too much stuff on the coast. Bolata can give you military loot. Cherno and elek can give you everything else. Only thing you might not find is a car but who needs one on the coast? My recommendation is nerf bolota. Make it a civilian airfield instead of a military one. Also add more hospitals. The only ones are at Cherno, elek, and bernzino. All coast cities. (though there are a few medical tents up north I think) put some hospitals up north. Also add more bikes. Its quite the journey to anything worthwhile up north. Putting more bicycles in the game would add incentive to go up north since it would be less time consuming but still not easy.

Problem with arma is the engine makes you handle like a dang robot. I can easily see something, pick it up, and all without stopping in RL. Your character however is like 1. I see a item. 2. Slowly crouches over pile. 3. Slowly picks up item (there is often a second delay) 4. Slowly stand up. Takes 6-10 seconds to pick up a can of beans and walk away.... The faster this is fixed the better,

Would make sense. Our bones are pretty tough. Could break the hood and dmng the engine or pop a tire.

50.cals would ruin the immersion. We are survivors. Not spec ops military pro's. If they are added back in they need to be as rare as helicopters! I would rather see more bolt actions. There is nothing like the three of firing a bolt action rifle and then hearing the click as you load another shot after hitting your mark.

but.....but....eight hours. That is almost meh whole day. There is cruel then there is time consuming. Can't you make it four hours?

EIGHT HOURS!?!?!? :o Make it 1 and a half hour or three hours, man....8 hours is too cruel. :(

LOL. Would make for some great moments. "Just kill me man. So I can respawn" "no....You get much worst" *proceeds to shoot legs and then chop off hand* "NOW CRAWL AWAY IN SHAME!"

Where are my steel toed boots? I need to curb stomp some faces.

I say zombie only. It seems like it could abused on players like what if your shooting at someone. He happens to get behind you and instant kill you. That would be a pretty unrealistic thing to happen in a firefight. (what if you lagged and he appeared behind you?) Also...knowing a seemingly unarmed player can pull out a knife and stab in me the back (literally) is going to lower my trust rating! :o

Your right. I wasn't saying get rid of em. I was saying it sounds like op just wants to run around with the high tech gear killing people instead surviving. Personally I find the weapons fine. A AKM is just as good as a fal to me. Sure if I had a choice I would take fal but AKM is just as good because as long as I hit with my shots I am going to kill. In most firefights its about player skill (and some luck) and weapon choices usually does not decide the outcome. (There are expectations. Sniper at long range vs man with shotgun is unfair, but that is the life of dayz.)

If you want to run around with military hardware mowing down fools....there is a game called arma 2. Now I hear its hard to get but if you look closely enough you can get it for free... Its almost like you already have it...

I don't mind kos. As long as the bandit gains something. Its the bastards that shoot on sight and then don't even honor me by putting my loot to use that peeve me off! I actually like the ideal but it seems a bit too hard. Starting off with a infection is too much. And half blood please instead of low blood?

What sarcasm... I think pit traps won't work either. Arma just cant handle holes in the ground. Even the standalone. Remember the stand alone isn't a brand new super epic thing. Its just a arma 3 version of dayz with a lot of love put in it.
