Who defines realistic zombies? They aren't realistic, so in the end it all comes down to how creative you are. How can a zombie be unrealistic if it's something fictional? Basically you want everyone and their mother to have a vehicle. I like the fact that this game is actually a... yes, you guessed it, survival game/simulator. It's easy as it is now. You're just not trying hard enough. Learn to live with the game mechanism like the rest. I've been playing this game since its early release and I haven't had a problem with "veering off in other directions from your friends". So communicate? Why do you want to approach every single little thing by implementing shortcuts to everything. You want this game to be Left 4 Dead 2? Zombies going through doors, gates etcetera is a bug. File a bug-report if one is not existent (which I very much doubt) Remind you, it's Alpha and bugs are prone to happen. It's a privilege, not a right to play this modification. Be glad with what you got and help the developer team by filing bug reports and feedback (such as this... to a certain extent) Don't know about machine-guns on vehicles. I can imagine how people will just ride through cities easily and mow down everyone in split seconds. More vehicle/vehicle models would be nice but I think I read somewhere that's going to get implemented soon enough. A reward-system for increased stats? Are you insane, person? That was most possibly the worst suggestion I've ever heard. Mind you, it's a realistic survival zombie game. There's a reason why you waltz around the airfield/strips/barracks/stands for gear. There's a reason you venture north and explore the landscape. If you want to get rewarded for kills and stats, try Battlefield or Call of Duty, I think their "reward system" will fit you a bit better. Sorry if I came off as rude but this is my genuine reply to your thread. Appreciate the feedback and suggestions, always nice to see threads like these. Shows people are interested in shaping up the game to what it'll be like in the official release. Cheers.

HeLLo, Have a idea/suggestion for day z team. I know there isn't a whole lot of cars and most of the servers are getting filled up with players and only having like 10 or less vehicles/wrecks around the map isn't quite a enough for everybody. If its possible I believe that each town on the map should have at-least 1 or 2 cars and up to 3 in the bigger cities such as Cherno and Elektro. For the second idea there should be a way to add your friends on the game so when they log in you can see them on your map because it is easy to get lost on that map when you accidentally veer off course from your friend's and be searching for hours trying to find him again but you pretty much go further away from each other. For the third idea zombies should not be able to just waltz through the closed doors or even through walls of buildings the buildings should offer a safe haven for players to camp out at and not have to worry about zombies just walking through the wall or even through the door its sort of a weird bug or glitch for the zombies being able to walk through doors,walls, and even climb ladders(climbing ladders is so unrealistic for zombies from the character they developed over the movies and games they been popular in). For the fourth idea please add the helicopter back in and figure out a way to block out the radar on the map to avoid the helicopter being over powered and being able to scan the map for other player camp sites. Maybe add a black circle of your own in the script to cover over the radar. I know there is another radar above to as well might have to add in a black rectangular box to cover that one and not cover up the compass above. For the fifth idea add in more vehicle types such as some UAV machine guns, some more vehicles with weapons on them and they can be re-armed by bullets you find on the game. If you add in more vehicles add in some more zombies surrounding the vehicles more to make it a challenge to get to the vehicle. Also zombies should be able to do damage to the vehicles but such as exposed vehicles such as an ATV the zombies should be able to hurt the player on those vehicles as their body is exposed to the outside world. For the last idea of them all please add in more inventory items that you can find throughout the map such as bigger tents which require a car to pick them up. More weapons or ability to equip weapons to un-arm vehicles and be able to fire them as either a driver or a passenger. Also weapons should be upgrade-able like for instance you have a M4A1 and the more zombies you killed you get upgraded to a M4A1 CCO after a while like sort of have a reward system. I really do get the idea that you want go full blown realistic on this game but at-least add in a little more fun killing zombies and killing bandits. If you read my ideas I want to thank you for taking your time reading through my ideas they are good ideas but is it right for your day z mission just something you have to think about over time. Probably depends on the direction your going with it.

Does anyone have information on what I'm doing wrong with storing gear in a vehicle or tent? Or are they glitched to all hell? First experience - placed a tent on the ground and moved it three times. Placed items in the tent and saved the tent. Come back 6 hours later and there is a tent in each spot I put down. All the items are gone and I can't pack any tent up. Second experience - I thought, maybe it was because I moved the tent multiple times it glitched. I placed this new tent in one spot and saved my items in it. All the items were gone but I could pack this tent up. This sounds like I got jacked but I doubt it. Third Experience - Vehicle - stored the items in the vehicle (nothing of significance). Come back the next day and all the items were gone. Someone would have jacked the vehicle if it was a robbing. Every time I interact with a tent or vehicle I save it. Maybe I'm doing something wrong here or it's bugged... I've read a few other threads about the tents being bugged. This is what I don't get, I finally found tents to raid. They had lots of top end gear in their atv and tents. Is there a trick on getting vehicles and tents to work properly? Thanks!!!

I had Cheat Engine on at the time, I was in SuperPowers in Chernarus with my friend Matty, who also plays the game. I was spawning myself guns and vehicles, I deleted the scripts and script folder however before changing to Day Z, but like an idiot, I left Cheat Engine up >.>. I am going to have to ask the server admin for US 10 Chicago to help me out specifically lol. Please do not comment calling me a hacker etc. I use it for non offline games so as not to interrupt online integrity and immersion, not to mention BattlEye has a say in it too :P. - spence0892 Thank you for your replies by the way guys, really helpful. If you want to check out me and my friends team(when and if i get back to us 10 chicago) we are a decent team. We recently had to start over due to heavy losses but we are back on track. spence0892 Ad-Man, Matty, Jazz, P-Rock, Camo.

Thread needs more pics. Also, if I had those vehicles, I would no sequester them in my camp, I would be using them to run down survivors and raid cities. Show off my awesome power and display my might to my rivals. Riskier? Definitely. But more rewarding. ;)

.. what is up with all the extremely easymode servers lately? 3rd person, crosshairs, nametags and map position(!)? Really? Here's a couple of things to think about: 1.) Just because you look around corners in 3rd person, doesn't mean someone else is not doing it also. 2.) Just because you can fire any weapon from the hip with crosshairs doesn't mean someone else is not doing it also. 3.) Nametags don't only give away your position to anyone who has a scrollwheel and looks around regularly, if you press space and look around you can find vehicles, tents, etc. 4.) What exactly is the purpose of map position/magic gps enabled? Do you also want to be handheld on your way in the woods? Seriously, a few easy places for beginners are alright but 70% of the populated servers seem to be running these settings lately.

Date/Time: Past three days What happened: Vehicles are taking damage to various parts even though they aren't being used. Also when we replace various parts on occasion it doesn't even register that they have been repaired whatsoever. Where you were: Wilderness What you were doing: Getting in/out of vehicles *Current installed version: 1.7.1.5 *Server(s) you were on: US 138 *Your system specs: i7 Quad Core, 2.8GHz, 12GB Ram *Timeline of events before/after error: Got in, saw damage, got irritated, went to get more parts, repaired. Next day damage was back in spite of vehicle not being used. Went to go get more parts, returned, attempted to repair vehicle, parts consumed but repair not effected.

Totally a casual gamer and yes i do play about 2 hours a day. Like i said i never really set out to be a bandit and sure maybe im not one im not really bothered, just posted it here since it was my little story about killing other players, that is what you bandits do right? A lot of the gear i have such as the LA85 i actually stole from a bunch of vehicles that were being hoarded by some players a while back, got lucky and came across them parked in a field near the northern most town. 5 vehicles all totally loaded with weapons and gear, stole and crashed 2, took a 3rd which got blown up 2 seconds after i bailed out(almost didnt survive that one). The other 2 cars were moved by the time i got back there. If i were smart i would have taken them to keep for myself but i find vehicles more hassle for lone players like myself, thats just my opinion though. My overall approach to this game is one of taking it nice and slow, be patient, gather up a few bits of equipment here and there so when i die i can re-equip easily then once im happy with what i have i can start focusing more on the hunting/camping/killing. Im never gonna be some bad ass gunman that roams electro butchering survivors in their hundreds but i am going to have fun my way and hopefully kill a few more people.

Possibilty for a paper map, I like to mark down choppers on my map to show possible spawn locations and also vehicles, but it comes up as a global marking as if we all have connecting digital maps. Having a paper map with private markings would increase the use of markings and more valuable when looting off a bandit. Also with these 'digital' maps players spam marking to write offensive language.

AKA - Mage (who is a known script kiddy/ hacker) had his friend spawn in a bunch of vehicles and weapons on a map.

can admin cheating? I found a UAZ on that server after 20 mins then server crash, next time I got a ATV then I hide it and save, just go for an hour,when I log back its gone. hope you understand , sorry for my eng.

I'd voice against a kill timer on invisible walls. My vote is on hiding the save option from vehicles/tents when they are off-map.

+1. Ideally, tents and vehicles should simply not save off map. Failing that, a 30 second kill timer if you cross the map threshold.

Problem? My as50 hasn't failed me once' date=' nothing I shoot gets back up, I've taken out clans with it, plus vehicles no longer mean anything to my as50 [/quote'] Nono, i have nothing agains't it personally, i simply don't like the gun as a whole. To much jumping while doing rapid sniping on it. It's a decent gun as a whole, just to bad you will never be able to use the max zeroing on it.. Server's are maxed at 1500 meters as far as i recall :/

there's only like ~20 land vehicle spawns on the map. if they manage to find everything, and in accordance to rockets rules, move them on a daily basis, then yes, no other vehicles will spawn, as they are all working and in use. so you will need to destroy them. though in the cleanup thread somewhere they mention that new vehicles, if they are destroyed, will "respawn" where they are currently located. so if you screw up your car, as long as you have parts when the server resets you can fix it right away wherever you left it.

If there is an actual list thread I have yet to see it, but will search in a bit to bump it to the first page. As for this thread though, RGO grenades are not legit and are obtained from dead NPC soldiers that were spawned in or the vehicles they were driving. Radios however, despite being extremely rare and only having one spawn location that I know about, are legit. They do absolutely nothing however right now other than entertain/annoy you with the sounds that it makes.

Greetings Survivors and Bandits alike. I'm Pantheons. I'm offering my services to help liberate those vehicles which are downtrodden and wasting away in the far north. Don't you feel sad for that poor v3s, or UAZ rusting away in the land without trees? I do! So I've made it my duty to roam those wastelands liberating the vehicles found and returning them to auto shops in Chernaurs. Let's stop the wasteful littering of the northern lands!

I Always try to have a tent with map,comp,knife,axe etc but with no high grade stuff in it. Average life is maybe 5-8 days longest is 15 days with about 110+hrs in-game play I never go Cherno or Electro or NWair to gear up and wont untill server hopping is fixed. Too many players using the hop as a cheat. If I have a tent with gear. When I die I make a direct run to the tent to gear up. Once I have the basics map,comp,knife,axe,bottles and pistol I will then start Restocking the tent. Looking for crashed choppers for better weapons. Once I have better weapons I will start hunting vehicles. My end game atm is finding a good vehicle then picking up respawned players along the coast and helping them. This normally involves me getting shot. Then the process starts again. But the one or two guys you help and the sound of gratitude you hear over direct coms, more than makes up for the people who kill me for no reason other than I have something they cant get without killing someone.

My current character was 19days old when I logged in last night. The death that started the new character wasn't even a proper death...was me accidentaly clicking on respawn instead of options. There was no confirmation so I lost all my stuff there and then. But it didn't take me long to get the stuff I wanted. Straight away I went to the military tents in Cherno, I managed to grab myself an M4A1 with a couple of mags. That did me for now. I headed to Berezino, stopping off on a few deer stands and small villages on the way, picking up a sidearm, food and water to make the journey. I hit the diner in Berezino, then quickly did super market and hospital, picking up an Alice Pack and a ton of medical supplies. The rest of my gear has come from sticking with my buddies, raiding crashed heli's, other peoples tents and vehicles. I've got everything I now need and more, and our group is kitted out for near enough any situation. Found best way is stay in a group, stay quiet, stay hidden. Be patient till you have the firepower you need. Then you can be a little bit more aggressive.

It's the only thing that brings variety and gets the adrenaline going. So you have a gun, ammo, water bottles, knife/hatchett/matches. What's left? You can survive in the woods pretty much forever, but that's boring. You can hoard gear until you have 20 tents with spares of every gun in the game and all the vehicles in the server. Sounds pretty boring, and the looting spots are nearly always the same, except for PVP interactions. Or you can hunt other players and avoid getting killed by them. This brings the most variety. Each engagement will be different, and you run the greatest risks. Even if/when some end-game content gets added, you can bet the most fun of it will revolve around PVP.

@Distinction. Thanks for the response, I didn't know that, I'll now be collecting tin cans and piling them outside of building :) Even if there was on option to turn PvP off I wouldn't do it. I've met friendly players on the DayZ servers, I've met griefers as well. I like the fear that comes from knowing another player is near you and that you can't trust them, I like the feeling I get knowing that another person could be near and at any moment I could hear popping sounds and game over. I've also had those players who run up to me saying 'friendly, friendly' then proceed to shoot/axe me in the face when I turn away - annoying? Yes but that's real life for you, some people are douchebags but again that's what gives me the fear in this game; I don't want to die and lose all my progress, I don't want to murder either but I can't trust unknown players, so anyone I see in the woods or anywhere near my tents and vehicles is getting it between the eyes :) Please do not ever implement a 'PvP off' option and take this adrenaline rush away, name another game that gives you the same feeling of when you've just found NV googles but then hear gunfire close by?

Is there any other good places apart from the tents? Also, there's this car that looks drivable, but I can't get in it? ALSO, any vehicles of note in Stary? Thanks!

this is what i want 3DP - off CH - off general chat - enable vehicles - on system message "Player killed" - on how i make it ? just difficulty change ? or change some configs ?

Umm Safe wouldn't be a term i would use you can store gear in tents and vehicles but they can be found by other players. And as of late there have been a lot of hackers going around using map hacks or spawning in helicopters to find out where people's camps are
