Remove guns from the game? That's like saying remove breasts from women!

Hey at least it's not like QUOP where you have to move the individual muscles of your legs with keys. Could you imagine?

gonna put it out there - many people don't want player stats because it's "grindable" to make your character super good at something. Yet in real life, you do something over and over again to improve and learn. It's not like they are going to add stats like "deadeye" or something like that where you just continually shoot at people and level up your ability to aim. That's based on you. Stats in DayZ are more than likely going to be passive things. Like finding more berries while foraging, getting more meat off of killed game, finding more fish while fishing, finding sticks easier in the forest to build fires and maybe some medical things like faster bandaging. Skills aren't some random haphazard exploit farm that people put into games for no reason at all. They can help your character do simple tasks faster, better and overall improve your skill in a field. And for DayZ- you lose them all when you die. And I'm probably talking about something completely unrelated to the post haha. Whatevs. STATS not SKILLS: Now i'm talking about the right thing. Personally I think there should be zero GUI on your screen. Not even the "I feel hungry" stuff on the bottom left or the little white dot in the middle of the screen that ruins cinematic screenshots. I think it should all be 100% Sound and Actions. The text is good however because it gives you an "all knowing" point of view for your character, just like you have on your own self. Stats like Kill/Death ratio are a massive no no. Like you say, people will just kill other people, even new spawns, just to be the "best badnit in da wurld." I played on a server that tracked player stats like humanity and players killed. Eventually I became a regular to that server (CA 25 before it became a Breaking Point server) and I knew most of the people who played on it. This one guy, who's name I won't say, bought a $20 donation which gave you a soldier skin and a ton of gear and a DMR on spawn. He literally just ran around spamming shots in Elektro and managed to get over 1 million humanity lost (-1,000,000) and around 5000 kills. He didn't care if they were newspawns or anything. And his reason, in his words was "it's fun and im better at killgn than u". I was on the top of the list for humanity at +87,400 and 0 player kills haha.

I call newspawns Tourists, personally.

You must be in sight to be killed on sight.

Parkouring zombies? They have more character control than we do!

Honestly I've only ever opened the Russian Learning Book.

Isn't it obvious? The damn thing's too heavy for just one hand to lift!

Oh and they also need to add drop-leg holsters, shemagh's, scarfs, more neck gear, leg gear like kneepads and mag pouches, and arm gear like fingerless gloves or something.

From my experience, the Military always has better things. Especially when it comes to winter gear. I don't buy winter things from the civilian market anymore since it all sucks. I only trust military grade gloves boots and coats since I can rely on them. I'm a regular to the local Surplus Store.

I always thought there should be the sound of a waterbottle swishing around if you had one.

Yep. I always find that my neck is really bland looking, especially since I'm used to seeing a Shemagh on my Hero Skin in the mod. I think they should just add them for aesthetics as well.

I do. It's a lot easier since you don't have to use another finger. Just double-tap w. Though I do admit, my two most played games are DayZ and ArmAII with some Minecraft mixed in. So all I really know is the double tap W

I have yet to find a radio. Gotta get on that soon.

I'm Mullraugh I've been a survivor in DayZ for about a year and a half now and I've loved it ever since. The Standalone is infinitely better than the mod. Unfortunately for my addiction to the game, I'm being sent away to Quebec in a few months to start basic training in the Royal Canadian Air Force. When I get back, DayZ will be out of Alpha and probably in late Beta. I'm a little sad I won't be able to see all the cool updates - yet happy I'll have a big surprise when I get back.

Keep playing - you'll get used to it.

Awesome suggestion.

Hey at least zombies don't strafe anymore - I'm sure we can all agree that's a good thing.

They could always increase the FPS. Say they set a specific timeframe for the suggestion. Let's pretend it's 20 seconds. Now every screenshot taken will play within 20 seconds. I'm horrible at math so I'm not gonna figure out how many screenshots would play within 20 seconds if you survived for 12 days straight. I suspect you might have a seizure from all the flashing pictures...

Maybe the op doesn't want hardcore.

All we need now is smoke grenades, tear gas and moltov cocktails and we can all pretend to be Ukrainian rioters

DayZ is DayZ is DayZ. No matter what they do to it, I'll still love it. (hey Dean... add unicorns and flying pink walrues!)

I find it all the time for some reason. -Yet I've never broken my leg before.

Murder is Murder, no matter how justified you think it is

I have yet to figure out what good it does to make a sawed-off other than making it smaller so you can fit it in your backpack
