I lasted 9 days once (about 18 hours). I did this by raiding barns and deer stands mainly. It got a bit boring so i hang closer to the hotspots now.

A back story would be cool as would events or items found which could slowly elaborate what happened.

I'd like to get a car and be a taxi - one ride = 1 can of beans

Stay where you are i'll come and help you out.

You bring the beer! I'll bring the DMR.

These sort of things definitely enhance the 'feel' of Day Z. The game needs more horror subtleties that though arent physically dangerous, unnerve the shit out of you.

What about a Manhattan map? All the lone wolves could hang in Central Park.

No-weapons zombie survival single player. First there are no zombies and every 3 seconds there spawns a random zombie somewhere on the map. After 1 hour there are over 1000 zombies. After 3 hours over 3000. See how long you can last.. :) This is already possible with another/the other Arma 2 zombie mod/s. Sans hunger/thirst/temperature needs' date=' and what-have you. In fact so is TC's idea [/quote'] Really? What are the names of these mods?

What other "modes" of Day Z could there be?

More random occurances gets my vote

How about the lootable shipwreck off Shalisty Island?

1) Timers for Disconnecting (about 200,000 threads) 2) Fixes to the broken bones issues (about 120,000 threads) 3) Starting with a weapon (about 1,000,000 threads) 4) Reanimating zombies (about 1000 threads) - psst....they arent dead 5) Changing the appearance of bandits (about 100,000 threads) Have i missed any?

good luck to you

More morphine threads (50,000 and counting)

Getting rid of barbed wire

Great post - well put. I agree almost entirely. PK-ing does need to be looked at because as you rightly say, despite what people may think murder is not in our DNA. As a species it is entirely self defeating. Groups (tribes, nations etc) of people may decide to kill but it is abnormal for lone people to wantonly kill strangers, unless of course they are desperate or "insane". But what can be realistically done to curb the KoS issue? I proposed bandits requiring psychological drugs which non murderers dont require. A case of keeping the demons at bay, so to speak. But then again it is a game and if players want to kill randomly for no reason other than a laugh can we blame them? We have two factions here i think FPS players from the CoD, B3 brigade and RPG/Simulation players. Both have different ideas on the game and both have valid reasons for their style of play. The two dont seem to mix. Until there is consequence (not penalty) in game nothing will change.

Good stuff! A friend of mine told me (classic urban legend beginning there) that he was once scoping Cherno out with his sniper scope when he saw a zombie figure standing atop of a building (vague reference there - very good). The Zed appeared to be looking straight at him but was not moving, just frozen. Anyway my friend made his way into Cherno to do a bit of looting and after climbing up to the top of another buidling scoped out the area again. He spotted the Zed but he had turned and had moved and was again starting straight at my friend! He said he did this a couple of times and every time the Zed was facing my friend staring straight at him. Of course my friend never went to the building in question (too chicken shit!) and didnt take screen shots so i have called BS many times. The Zombie Watcher of Cherno? Chuck Norris? Total BS?

Bugs which will be fixed in Beta

Yeah i found it......what was the name of the place again though i forget??

Interesting thoughts. A question for you - could you inject a cold bloodpack into your own body and what would be the effects, ie not a transfusion, putting blood from a bag directly into your own bloodstream.

Wouldnt people just draw big knobs everywhere?

Water bottles can be infinitely filled form wells and food can be gathered from animals. Only thing that can run out is ammo' date=' medical supplies and players so theoretically a lone wolf with axe, matches and a water bottle can live in the world forever without ever dying of starvation or thirst I assume that zed drops would be turned off for this experiment so contestants wouldn't farm 'em for loot [/quote'] Thats a good point about the Zed drops -they would have to be made very rare but not off i think. I believe Rocket wants to include food harvesting in later updates so perhaps peoiple would congregate around a water source - much like in real life.

Excuse me while i translate: "I say old chaps would you mind not shooting me on sight. It is dreadfully off putting. I also must say that Morphine is rather rare and the fact Zombies can break your legs is a terrible inconvenience. Until the day this issue is fixed i will say good day to you."
