I heard that the radio is going to make an introduction into DayZ. I have an idea on how it could work :D I have no idea how it's meant to work at the moment, but I think it should work with frequencies. You can tune in to different frequencies, and with the radio, you can only hear others on that frequency, and they can hear you? That way, you could either meet up with friends on a frequency, but if a bandit happens to tune in and hear your plans, he can, so you need to be careful! The default frequency would probably be packed with players talking ^-^ The radio should have 3 options, On (While holding it), so you can hear the players much more clearly, On (In backpack), so you can hear them, but not so well, but you have hands free for shooting people/doing other things, and Off. What do you think? Sorry if you disagree, but if you do, post why :D Also, if you have any information on how the radio is going to work, just say :D

Exactly :D Also, taxi services can be on a channel, for passing-byers on the radio to hear where the taxi is :D

Hi, I was wondering, how are the DayZ custom maps made? Like Lingor island, and all the others? I was wondering, because I have a little bit of experience in level design/making for games, and am just curious of how the DayZ custom maps are made :) Are they made by official people? Or just randomers out in the DayZ world? Thanks. P.S. I made a topic about this like half an hour ago, but it disappeared for me. I can't see it, not sure if it posted, so sorry if this is the 2nd one from me. :)

I don't have the game yet - waiting for standalone. I've watched a few videos of cows being hit by cars though xD They just go flyyyying! :P Maybe that will be fixed in standalone? Animals?:)

Yeah, nice ideas! :D The horse would get tired, and eventually get slower, until is doesn't want to even stand up any more, and eventually die of hunger if you don't feed it. Love the idea of side arms being fired while on it. I'd love to see some epic horse chases going on! :D

I'm not sure how you can fix this at the moment, but Ive heard that in standalone, FPS performance will greatly increase for players :D

I like the idea of a train! Would be awesome to transport groups of friends, or bandits, or a way of escaping! There could also be some train wrecks across the map, would be awesome for looting! Also, with the new underground thing in the arma 3 engine, maybe we could also have underground trains :D Zombies infest the tube! Only thing that could be considered unbalanced is that they could go too fast. To balance this, have the train acceleration time fairly big (Not too big), or make it so it consumes a lot of fuel?

Ok thanks a lot! :) So buildings in the maps are all pre-made then? Is there a way to make new buildings? :D Thanks again:)

I agree. A survival stat should be the only stat, maybe as well as zombies killed? This would make it much more simple. It should also have a "Longest survival time:" thing, so players can compare with their friends :D The "Survival time" should only count while you're in game though, otherwise people can make a character, not play for like a month and boast to people saying "I survived for sooo longggg" :P

I love this idea. I was thinking this a while back. The further away you are to someone, the quieter your voice is to them! :D This would be good, so if you see a player far away, you can shout to him to get his attention, or whisper to friends or new players you've just met, so others can't hear you!

Hi. I'm waiting for DayZ standalone to come out to buy it, but I'm getting a new computer around Christmas time. Would I be able to transfer DayZ to that new computer, even if I buy it on my laptop? The reason I'm asking this, is because my laptop doesn't have the BEST specs. I've heard it can run DayZ, but not smoothly on high settings. Thanks if anyone can answer this :) Sorry if it's been covered before. I've searched a bit on the forums, but haven't found anything. :D

This was another question I was going to ask. :) How will DayZ Standalone be sold? Will it be buying from the website, will it have a hard copy, and will it be on steam? :)

I've heard this too, I think it is true. I don't play DayZ myself (Waiting for Standalone), but I've watched a lot of videos, and A LOT of people are going to be crying/winging about this, because they're too dependant on it. I think it's a great idea! :D

Ok thanks a lot! :)
