Nice work. Instead of an icon (it would have to be big to be useful) why not have it as a separate screen, like the Inventory, that you can call up and have a look at?

I like Namalsk but (not being a gun nut) i always get confused as to what weapon is better - in the end i always take the bigger one! :)

I would like to see sniping a bit more realistic, as in wind and recoil (as in the scope doesn't instantly snap back to your target) but i wouldn't want it too overly complicated. To me hitting a moving target from 800m would take extreme skill and this should be evident in DayZ. Run of the mill sniper noobs (such as myself) should find it extremely difficult without practise. And the sounds should attract zombies.

Someone shit on your side of the bed this morning?

Sounds fun

This is exactly how i have been playing for the past few months. It usually involves: 1. Acquiring an axe 2. Running to hospital, church and fire stations 3. Trying to locate bandit snipers so as to hatchet them to death 4. I also enjoy long walks on the beach and throwing flares at noobs during the night to scare the shit outta them. So far my deaths - about 100 Bandit snipers killed - about 8 I'm in!

150 - geez!!

11 posts and not one mention of having a shit. We are so mature.

Actually i like the idea of being able to disable the car, as in take out a part so that people who randomly stumble across your hidden vehicle need to repair again.

I have seen this appear before (on a Taviana server i think) - hacking options appear on the wheel scroll menu. My advice, don't touch them, log off and report to the server admins if you can.

Barricading would be a welcome addition but i think the problem was that the server would get overloaded with barricades, wire fencing etc etc. This was one of the reasons Rocket has said that bases will probably be underground and instanced.

Apart from point 1, this sounds incredibly similar to my gameplay at the moment!

Just to get in there and go at the moment! Plans will probably come a bit later. I do plan on visiting Green Mountain however. Might move this thread as well.

Could you imagine finding a set of car keys on a zombie and then having to go find the car? The way we enter and drive vehicles at the moment implies that the keys are already in the ignition or we have hotwired the car.

I think the fact a lot of people are missing is that this mod was not designed to be helpful, or friendly, or even fun. That was what drew people into the mod - it was hard, brutal and completely different to anything else. Authenticity was the name of the game, not realism. We know zombies aren't real, but that's a non issue, and the number of times this is brought up to illustrate a point is quite tedious. Finding your friends shouldn't be easy. Nothing in DayZ should be easy. It is supposed to be the apocalypse and there are fucking zombies everywhere! Quite why there should be a mechanic in place so players can find their buddies and sing Kumbayah around a campfire is beyond me. Play with your friends by all means, but don't complain you have to travel for 30mins to catch up with them just because you died. Try harder not to die. Play more cautiously. The number of times i see obvious clan members running around as if they are immune from snipers is amazing. As said, there probably will be a mechanic put in place so friends can spot each other (clothing) but it has to be in the realms of possibility, not some magical arrow pointing the way. There you go rant over. Can we keep this civil please, there isn't a need for name calling? I'm too old for that shit! Also a lot of these discussions should probably go here: http://dayzmod.com/f...one +discussion

I think he means towns like Guglovo....places where there is very little, to no loot and hence players tend to just run past without entering. Pitching a tent there, away from plain sight is probably safer than in the woods right up north or to the west, where everyone hides their stuff.

I think the Devs plan on adding some sort of clan colours at some stage - possibly coloured armbands for people to differentiate their clan members. I think that's all the help you are going to get. Little green and red dots? I don't think so.

It would be nice to find some clues as to what happened but the feeling of WTF should always be persistent.

Woah...now ain't this an old, old thread. But we do say use the Search function. So well done Bagworm.

You mean like that movie Doomsday(?) where they walled off Scotland and left the people to rot?

Cherno Main Square.

Couldn't agree more!

No, i've never played the game, i just enjoy making stuff up. My point was gearing up from scratch is where you get the most tension, and in my opinion is when DayZ really is at its best. Wandering around the NW airfield with 10 buddies all in Ghillies and with AS50's doesn't really do it for me.

We should start with no backpack so any backpack you find is an improvement.

I agree that going with the mood of the mod once you have the 'hunting' gear you are set up. Perhaps the domestic animals should be removed, after all i once read that without humans a typical milking cow would soon die.
