Can't see why not - i am sure there would be more locked homes than those with open doors.

The crossbow has been redesigned in SA

If you go to Green Mountain the only thing you will be able to broadcast is your imminent death....

Moved thread {Shazam}

I would expect that 5 years after an apocalypse that animals would be more common. Without farmers slaughtering them they would probably reproduce and flourish, not die out. EDIT: I am not suggesting more animals though, just there isn't a need to get rid of them.

NUTCASE - runs around Cherno/Elektro with an axe at night throwing flares at Noobs. I'll apply for this role.

Most useful weapon (besides the Hatchet) has got to be the AKM Not too rare, quite easy to find ammo - one hit kills for zombies, zeroing so you can snipe those pesky bandits and a Full option to fill bandits with lead when they get too close. Sure the M14 is good but its not the most common weapon around.

There are servers that remove the Death Messages. I too am not a fan. If a bandit wants to confirm he's killed me let him come take a look!

Check these threads for the differences. Taviana is a great map. http://dayzmod.com/forum/index.php?/topic/112229-dayz-tavianacom-20-release/ and http://dayzmod.com/forum/index.php?/topic/109069-release-dayztaviana-by-dayzlandeu/

No. Spawning with or near friends is a cop out. You die - you respawn alone. This is supposed to be about the apocalypse, about survival. Making DayZ easier should not be an option. 30mins to get back to your friends? Those 30 mins would probably be the most tense and enjoyable moments of the game.

Great news.

Yep, please keep comments in this above thread. Thanks Beast. Locked

Yet to see a bloodsucker. TBH i'm not sure if my heart could take it!

@Mr Mouse - these zombies are not dead, but Infected. So they cannot miraculously breathe underwater - they would drown. As for the respawning debate - my 2 cents is simple. You die, you respawn on the coast in a random location. Pretty much how it is now. There shouldn't be an advantage for clans or groups and if there was ever a mechanic that allowed groups to spawn near or with each other then i would be disappointed. Like i've said before Death should be the last thing you want, not a mere inconvenience as you respawn next to your buddies and gear up in 2 minutes. IMO, the best part of DayZ and i think the reason that people really got into the mod in the first place were those moments of tension when you had nothing, scavenging for weapons and food as you avoided zombies, terrified of other player's intentions. Spawning with mates would ruin this. And, anyway, getting back to friends never takes that long. It's the apocalypse - what's the rush?

Yawn......am bored once more at work. Been playing DayZ 2017 lately, got me thinking. Tell me, anyone....if it could be done (don't worry about the hows and the whys) where and when do you think and interesting and fun DayZ could be based? What year and where? Assuming that only weaponry, food and equipment of the times could be used, what historical time period and location would you like to play in? Still a zombie apocalypse remember, the only changes would be location and items. Me - WW2

Bob was taken.

I recommend the DayZ 2017 mod for this. Now zombies hordes spawn in woods and are attracted to camp fires.

Your sarcasm cannot get past me - ha ha

Just asking but could you, would you be able to give blood from a bloodbag that was just lying on the floor? Would the blood be any good, possibly even harmful?

Its alright - nice story. And actually, what i said was true, some guy posted a thread about bringing down a Heli with a Makarov - he was flamed because he said he'd upload the video but never did. http://dayzmod.com/forum/index.php?/topic/59865-1-makarov-shot-brings-down-a-helicopter/page__hl__makarov

Shooting Hippie Zeds - fun! Wow, i take it back that vid looks awesome!

Yeah, i thought about other eras but i still think i would like to have a gun. I don't know how much fun it would be if the best weapon was a bow and arrow and the best vehicle a chariot.

There was once a bloke who brought down a heli with one shot from a Makarov. True.

Oh no, i fear you may have started the Zee or Zed war again!!

Does this happen with all loot piles or just some?
