I recall Rocket saying that not only binocs but also rangefinders (the one lense type) will be added at some point. I really want a telescope as well then my pirate fantasies can be fulfilled.

Go stand in the corner.

Guess you were drunk the night before.

Glad you found the other thread. Will close this one.

Steam name?

Decapitated head? This is a sandbox game.

There you go Riggs, or is it Murtaugh?

Green Mountain is Death!!

Run outside straight for him waving your Magnum yelling "Friendly!"

Yep as said - Infected humans not the traditional walking corpse zombies. Hopefully the virus is explained in game some day.

Or find a bandit with O- and keep them permanently restrained and used as a blood cow. At least..that's the idea.

I'd love to see a few random elements thrown in just to give us something to look out for once we know the map like the back of our hand. Crashed ambulance with medical supplies (and zombies of course) I think an overrun military convoy would be a cool feature too - with lots of zombies surrounding the possibility of nice weapons and a repairable vehicle or two.

I have never (ok a few times) KoS unless it be a scummy camping sniper. It gets me shot and killed a few times playing this way, but you do find friendlies out there, if only to travel with for an hour or two. Shooting someone because you are scared of losing your gear is taking away the best aspects of DayZ - player interaction. You might be missing a great adventure if you shoot a guy instantly. I think playing with strangers is better than teaming up with buddies because the tension of whether you trust them or not is always there in the back of your mind - and the tension between 2 humans is always the best thing about zombie movies/games. My 2 cents.

Guess you missed this thread then. http://forums.dayzgame.com/index.php?/topic/156129-confirmed-upcoming-features-for-dayz/#entry1564197

There have been discussions like this elsewhere and though players are used to games with Tutorials or safe zones DayZ has none, nor will it ever i think. The best advice is get off the coast. Might be hard if there are armed players right where you spawn but its all you can do.

Right i have cleaned this thread up - God knows i should have just sent it to the Graveyard but i think there could be valid discussion here if people didn't get so het up and childish. Please voice your opinions but keep it clean and civil and avoid personal insults. As for my 2 cents - what you are proposing seems to be private hives with gear tied to a specific server. This wont be happening in the near future for the SA. Server hopping will be dealt with (the Devs do know the issues) so we will have to wait and see what solutions they come up with. There has been talk of logging all login/logout history and issuing warnings, or applying a timer which is exponential if server hopping is continuous. Again, please keep it clean.

Please keep this civil or this thread will be locked.

Yep i pretty much did the same last night.

Were you frolicking in a Huey or something??

Death, eh? Gotta avoid it as long as possible,

Fists of Fury

This is planned i believe - armbands and such.

You mean something like this?

Very good. I am not a fan of specific loot types in particular areas, though i suppose the best place to look for a gun would be a military installation. I would rather there be a chance to find anything anywhere, even if the % was very low - for example why wouldn't you be able to find an M4 in a random house - perhaps a soldier put the empty gun on a table and was then killed..who knows As for random events - i like the idea of finding random things like truck crashes, train crashes etc even if the truck that crashed was full of soda cans.

The loot system is not final - remember this is early alpha and the Devs want us to test the equipment. No point introducing a new item if it spawns so rarely that no one can tell them if it works properly or not.
