How about adding disabled (non repairable) cars and have their lights on or randomly blinks..

So here I am again to give another suggestion... :D Who here played Hard Rain in L4D2? In this part of the game (once you've already collected the gas), you'd be heading back to the starting point and whilst doing this, random lightning flashes will indicate a downpour and will summon a horde against the survivors. I brought this up because I think it would be a great idea for the survivors to be forced to get shelter and defend it as long as they can. The rarity of a downpour in DayZ will make this somehow balanced and this will make the game a bit harder when it's raining hard. For example, in DayZ, it's raining and you're with a friend and you're both looting Cherno then lightning flashes across the sky followed by loud crashes of thunder, this would signal both of you to take shelter as fog thickens and the rain comes down harder, this would make the zombies' aggro distance much more farther and it'll make them much more sensitive, even if you don't move a muscle, the irritation caused by the loud sound of thunder will make them charge towards any building they see which makes your temporary shelter invaded by zombies. This will make things a little bit interesting, it's either you run blindly towards the fog or defend the house until the storm passes (which is a very hard thing to do). I think this is about it (I think I missed something though) and thanks for reading. Keep the comments flame-free. :D

I am imagining survivors equipped with shotguns shouting "Breaching! Breaching!" then making the bandit inside surrender by making them drop their guns or we can post snipers up on the third floor and provide overwatch for survivors looting the perimeter... Ooooohhh YES!

Time to cook me some BANDIT!

Yes, I'm feeling quite alright, thanks for your concern. I am not suggesting removing TeamSpeak from existence, I am just suggesting that they forbid the use of any 3rd-party comms software ingame because it can quite balance out the gameplay and can quite make things challenging. :)

Does Hero skin really have this benefit aside being a cosmetic reward for those kind people that help others?

Thanks for the support. I do think this will affect both PVP and PVE players alike as it will force players to make a decision of whether to run or defend a place for a temporary amount of time and both choices have their own risks.

Well then, you're most welcome to stay. Go and get something to sit so we can continue. I don't think it's that bad of an idea. The necessity of removing these kind of programs are to force people to use ingame chat but then again, how? If they can implement this somehow then good. I'm not only speaking of teamspeak here but of all third-party software that can be used as a communication between two players.

I think that the reason is the players have done pretty much everything the game has to offer and re-gearing with the rarest stuff is pretty boring as they may have repeated this a thousand times only to be killed by a bandit or a sniper. The easiest way to gain much of the stuff back is to meet somebody with a decent enough gear and betray him/her once you have the means. Long story made short, probably because of the lack of anything else to do except re-gear -> hunt players/bandit -> die then meet someone then betray them to get decent gear again... repeat 'til standalone.

THIS. We don't need to flame each other as long as we have our civilized minds in reasoning with each other.

I think Rocket did agree that making these stuff (NVGs, Thermals etc.) harder to obtain and to maintain will balance the game a lot. The battery thing is already given as a suggestion a long time ago and that's why Rocket think it's a good way to balance the gameplay.

Well, I agree with you there. I guess my point here is that using these programs lead to a big advantage over people and removing them can make the game a bit more dangerous. :)

Ahaha, that's why I kept it anonymous. Nah, don't bother. Probably a stupid suggestion to be bothered with anyways.

Crossfire PH, I never heard of this blocking thing from other versions of CF so this might be done by those from the local coders. If you ask me what's the purpose of even blocking it, I honestly don't know but they seem to have done it.

Oh sorry, I forgot to put that in. Well, a few months back, I play an FPS game in which when we try to use teamspeak, the game would detect it as a forbidden software or something like that. I don't think it's that hard implementing that kind of program. Well, this is just my suggestion. :)

Well, I haven't played DayZ mod yet but I will once it is released for the standalone. The zombies will be fixed for the standalone, don't worry. I quite agree with people starting with no weapons, it gives you the idea that you will have to be careful to even obtain a gun and you have to keep your distance around players and zombies alike. Have fun for tomorrow! :D

What do you mean by "intensive"? o_O

Well, being a YouTuber or something doesn't make you holy and Jack's not an exception so if he or his crony feels like you're a threat, then who should I be to stop them? I am not defending anyone here. Just sayin'

Rocket feels that the radio silence is a very important thing as there is "competition" around but they will definitely release it around December, the only thing that would stop them from releasing it on said date is something going terribly wrong as said by Rocket himself. :)

I don't know if I used that Foundation right but it's what Rocket prefers the standalone to be called. Anyways, I would just ask some of your opinions and guesses on the upcoming standalone. Few people here know a lot of stuff in the gaming industry so here I go: Will DayZ Foundation be released as a soft copy or a hard copy will also be out? Will ragdoll features be implemented? How about character customization? Let me emphasize on the opinion part, I don't need exact answers but I would appreciate if you could link something in your comments. :) Thanks and have fun in DayZ. :D

This is why I left and switched over to Frankie, he's quite the commentator and a great player at the same time. I suggest you guys watch his DayZ vids. This is the link for his first episode, you won't regret watching:

Honestly, I haven't played arma or DayZ yet but I do watch some videos on YouTube. I think you do lack some experience most of the players experience. I think you haven't encountered bandits or players yet, those are the elements needed to make this fun, interaction. Nothing beats shouting in your mic if a stranger is friendly or not, the fact that another person would get you any minute might boost the excitement while playing. .... and those spooky urban legends too (whether true or fake), they're worth keeping an eye on. ;)

Great story and I wish Banjo would see this...

Well, as the title says, I want to tell Rocket something. I think he should release screenshots from the game every 2 weeks as to keep the enthusiasm of the players. I just want some pictures like the one he released a few days back, just like that. Minor details in the game could do just like the new guns being held by the players (in First Person View of course). I would like that 'cause I left the forums a few weeks back because of the problem in the game and I don't have the Arma 2 CO so I don't have anything to play DayZ with and because of the hacking problem, I never did buy Arma 2: CO to test the game. TL;DR: Keep posting pics of the standalone just to keep the players' enthusiasm. :D

No, Arma 3 engine won't be used but some of the Arma 3 Engine Developers are developing DayZ too so we can expect some features of the engine in DayZ.
