Huh? Please - you are obviously in the know. So who really did kill JFK?

How many times have you been in a treeline scoping a city when you hear gunshots? And yet the zombies that are closer to the gunshots than you are continue to wander around seemingly deaf. This had to change. If you can hear the gunshot, the zombies should. And upon hearing a shot they should investigate (though i don't necessarily think that they should aggro) Makes sense to me.

If we get anti tank mines then i will be more than happy to see tanks made available.

I love it. Looks a bit like me as well. Not so much the colour, but the physique. ;)

Ah man these are brilliant - i especially like the rebrand of Dr Peppers - Dr Wasteland! Great job.

Not so much as a whinge but an observation. Ok, ok - a whinge! Last night i joined a server which i presumed to be 'vanilla' DayZ - there was nothing in the server description to think otherwise. However upon joining i quickly realised that it was far from what i consider the "real" DayZ. I spawned with a Makarov, a map, a compass and not 100m from where i had stood there were 3(!) fully repaired and fueled Helis. Side chat was enabled and the chat consisted of : "OMG this is the best server ever!!" and such. Further exploration revealed the map was littered with vehicles. I realise that there are other servers which are 'vanilla' and there is a choice involved and normally i avoid these type of servers because it is not what i want out of the game. But my questions are: Why do players like these servers that give weapons at spawn, a map, a compass, 500+ vehicles etc etc? What sort of experience do you want out of a zombie survival game when things are put in your lap without the need for effort? In essence, why are you playing DayZ? Your thoughts please - it is a slow day here in downtown Brisbane.

Can you please explain why on earth you would want to do this?

You have to remember the mod is based on Arma 2 and melee weapons are not part of the Arma game. The hatchet is a glorified, re-modelled, short range gun (note having to reload). Fighting with fists and knives isn't something the engine can do that i am aware of. Hopefully since the DayZ SA engine had been rewritten melee weapons are treated differently.

I agree that dynamic weather would be a nice addition especially more ferocious storms but i dont think Natural Disasters are really required. Natural Disasters are, by definition, rare, so you would possibly have one every few years - not really the correct time frame for DayZ. However, i would really like to Satchel charge the dam in Chernarus, but i am not too sure if a flood is possible in DayZ just yet.

I think Rocket had the final say in matters relating to the Community Build - as in he has executive veto powers. He did scupper the idea about power in the game (streetlights etc). Even though i might not agree with some of the additions different mods/maps have added i am still ever thankful that the community has carried Rocket's work on.

Nicely done - when's the next episode out?

You spawn on a beach. Who knows how you got there? Some would say you should start with nothing. Where i'm from i wouldnt be able to just grab a gun on the way out my front door.

I cant wait for the SA zombies to be released whereby they run indoors and they dont just spawn just because a player is nearby. Surely in a zombie apocalypse avoidance of zombies should be the main goal and the only way to do this would be by being smart and stealthy. People have complained about the non-threat of the zombies for months, hopefully that changes. And i dont think you should compare the buggy zombies in the mod to what they will be in SA. Walking and hitting through walls will surely be addressed.

Scroll lock. If you dont appear to have Scroll Lock try Fn-F3 (this is what i need to do on my laptop)

Because live and let live just isn't what people do in the world of DayZ. Anyway pass the slippers and brandy, this hipster needs a rest on his rocking chair.

gee they made the river a bit wider didnt they.

Would be great to hold in in the real life Cherno, Chernarus. Its in the Czech republic, yes?

I agree that there is a place for everyone and there should be a a server that suits your needs. One of my points was a lot of servers arent properly described and you only find out upon logging in that it isnt what you were expecting. Perhaps servers should say Original in their descriptions so it can be filtered in DayZ Commander as even "official" servers arent always what you expect. Also i just wanted to know why players play these servers and the feeling is it is either to goof around or you dont want the hassle of gearing up. Both valid if that's what you want - just not for me.

@trichome I think it is you who will disappointed with the SA when it comes out if you think it is going to be just like the mod. Having everything gifted to you on a plate is not what the game will be about. The game will be tougher not easier. I got no problem you playing your personal dayz lite just make sure your server description lets of know to stay away.

Why would there be a random siren? Is school out? I'd like to see the church bells workable and perhaps they could attract zombies.

Be a YouTuber...you just need a gimic

So how do you logout if you are with friends?

I dont know if i can condone dog bullying.

What about "Mad World" from......Gary Jules i think (not the original version)

Can you do an episode of 24 next?
