I fear for you Akku. Are we going to find a blood covered camcorder in the woods by Green Mountain?

It makes you bullet proof for 5 minutes. Honest.

I lived in Edinburgh for a while - now that area would make a great map. Castles, palaces, overlooking mountains, a winding old town on one side, a structured newer town on the other. Close to the airport you even have an army base. And of course you could have red headed, kilt wearing, zombies

Yep, i am sure the Study Body option will be expanded. Could also say things such as - was executed at close/long range with a xxx calibre weapon.

An urban island like Manhattan.

I like it. However i do think that at the end as Rocket says "...and this is Day Z" we hear a pffffttttt and he is sniped in the head.

How about these ideas for roleplay: Jehovahs Witness - cant have blood transfusions Junkie - needs a morphine hit every few hours Blind - turn off your monitor

I have heard the legends of Bigfoot in Arma but why are there no videos or photos? Very reminiscent of real life, a lot of "You gotta believe me, i swear i saw it" but no proof. I watched your video and unsurprisingly all it was was a bunch of "Oh my God i just saw Bigfoot.". Why would you think we want to watch you telling us that? I can do a whole series of videos on "What I Saw But Dont Actual Have Footage Of" but what is the point? Get proof or move your story to the Urban Legends thread.

I have tried out Lingor, Utes and Takistan and still have to say Chernarus is better suited for Day Z. Lingor has more enterables and military loot spawns but i was very disappointed in the Prison. There i was thinking Walking Dead and all i got was more barracks overlooked by Sniper Hill. Roll on Chernarus Plus

Been playing since early May Things i have yet to find at spawn NVG's AS50 Thing NEVER found DMR!

You answered your own question there - cell phone reception would not exist. Radios though - a different story. Make the voice chat crackly like it would be on a radio - best thing about the WarZ video tbh.

Someone will always produce an online map eventually. It is up to the player to decide whether to use it or not.

I get the impression the core Arma players are a pretty serious bunch, probably a lot are military or ex military. I'd imagine the popularity of a zombie mod on their hard core simulator has hit a raw nerve. Reminds me of a group of friends i had at Uni - they loved indie bands and knowing that they were part of a handful of fans. The moment the band became popular they started to slag off the new fans because they werent there when the band started. I really dont know why i was friends with those tools.

There are friendlies out there. Problem is contacting them and trying to not look aggressive. I know there is a salute command but i wish there were some distinct item of clothing you could wear that shows your intentions to others from a distance (i know this could be abused, but that's realistic also) The biggest problem with being friendly is when you meet someone you give them the initiative because your first reaction is "Are they friendly?" whereas someone who is KOS doesnt think, he acts. I have been shot plenty of times because as i have reached for the keyboard to type a message they have pressed the LB and riddled me with bullets. That's life in DayZ

Worst addition (though not really A Day Z thing) is the tents, or specifically the amazing duping tents. The problem has been allowed to go on for so long that now there are so many high end weapons floating around servers it isn't funny. It's not you know...funny, that is.

Debug monitors arent generally in games - hence it was removed. I am sure that in the future there will be stats you can call up so you can gloat about all your murders. Maybe you can tatoo a teardrop below your eye for every murder, or slice a line across your arm with a knife if you are really missing the count.

Q: How many bodybuilders does it take to change a lightbulb? A: 50. 1 to change it, 49 to stand there saying "Looking good, buddy, looking good!!"

Great post - have my stash of beans Point 2 reminds me of the Biathlon in the Winter Olympics. These Olympians travel on skis for hundreds of metres and then have to lie prone and shoot at targets. To compensate for the shaking aim due to fatigue etc they have to control their breathing and whatnot. They could not simply lie down, take aim and hit the targets. I am assuming that being Olympic athletes that these are some of the best shooters in the world - barring RL snipers. And yet here we are, bozos waking up on a beach able to make 400m shots after running through the forest for 3 miles. It really breaks the game for me. I really hope your suggestions are taken on board. When i make a headshot from 100m i want it to mean something, a feat to be proud of, not a shrug of the shoulders as i take aim at another head.

I've played on a few private hives and i have found them to be just as hacked as the rest. Shit, i even had an admin transport everyone to the middle of nowhere surrounded by zeds and cows - all because another player shot someone and no one would own up. To be honest though having multiple characters spread across multiple hives is crap. It loses something with it not being linked.

Wow, hardcore, man. The way i roleplay is not to shoot on sight but always give the other player a wide berth or chance to prove they are friendly or not. Doesnt always work though.

Ha, Ha! This must be a windup. That's like saying you bought a newspaper so you should have the courtesy of reading all the articles within it. I may look at Arma 2 one day but i dont feel like i owe anybody, anything.

I like the idea of confirming kills - it would definitely change the way snipers operate. The inventory has bugged me for a while and being able to shove huge guns into an ALICE pack does seem absurd. To me you should have a primary (always visible) a small secondary and possibly a melee weapon which also would be visible. I also like the idea of rare military weapons being made rarer still and do like your suggestion of different types of heli crashes. One thing i would like implemented in the standalone are the loot positions - do they always have to be on the floor. Cant you find food on tables, cupboards and guns on racks. Seeing that stack of AK's in the Balota medical tents always pisses me off!!

Any chance of loot being in cupboards, on tables etc instead of just on the floor?

I agree, give them an ultra rare chance of dropping something good. Soldiers could drop NVG's, doctors antibiotics, priests holy hand grenades etc

Akku - tell us how you go - video if possible??
