The minute(1-3 minutes) long wait is rediculous... Waiting for loading, waiting for recieving, waiting for character to create, waiting for hour glass... if there were any other feature of REALLY BAD game design--I don't know what it would be. If this is what I can expct the stand alone to be like, you've lost a customer.

We should be able to right click on an ammunition clip and select to combine with another clip of the same when there is little ammunition left, this way you can reload to a full clip and then later take the bullets out of the other clips and put them into another clip when it has enough room in it.

Agreed, this is a great idea.

I like the diary idea, I was also thinking of this when I first started playing. The death-match aspect of Dayz makes this pointless however, most seem to play just to kill others.

I have played for over a month now and have killed no one, I am the altruist type.

I like the camping idea, wake up in a random tent in the forest. with a camp fire out.

A back story can be made up from anything, it doesn't matter where you are in the game because no matter what you magically pop into the server...

Exactly! I'm not saying make it $24 for every CD key, just a dollar or a quarter like they used to do it with arcade machines. But actually money really gets to the minds of people. The loss is REAL. Murderers have to always be on the run, and everyone is on the lookout for them. (server start screen(tag name)?) Of course there will be people who snipe for the fun of it, but then make sniper ammo hard to come by. The whole point of "humanity" is to discourage random killing but it doesn't work.

Some great ideas here. For a mockup these are great.

Which is why the issue of random killing needs to be addressed, and for all of you arguing that this game is about total freedom, that the zombies are only in the back-drop. You couldn't be more incorrect. The fact that "Bandit," "Murders," "Humanity" are labeled in the HUD debugger menu (that there was a tried sort of penalty) is proof of intent that this game is NOT about random killing it has been hijacked by players just senselessly killing each other, and Rocket hasn't yet figured out a reasonable way to address this issue.

Thank you :)

Why don't you ask the producers of so many zombie movies how the player wakes up in a hospital. How do you explain someone magically appearing on the coast?

So this doesn't already happen at beaches... it does.

And zombies that don't pass through doors, wirefences, tank crosses... etc. ability to zoom out on GPS, and we should be able to combine multiple clips which have little ammunition in them. The SD M4 and M9 SD should be able to shoot normal ammunition, it is easy to fix, just allow only zombies to be not able to hear it like the SD Stanag in m4 guns. Players can hear it but it is silent to zombies.
