I want normal civilian cars and vehicles. Perhaps a moped. Police Cars. Ambulances. Regular Sedans. Vans. SUVs. Farm equipement like Tractors, bulldozers. Dump trucks. I do not want just military vehicles spawning all over the place. That said there should be something like an Uber rare spawn with hard to find parts that is a APC since that would make sense in dayz

Two things. First off, a month or a month and a half ago, I died as my character a male, and when I respawned, I respawned as a girl. I went to the homepage and checked my default character, when I got there, my character was still shown as a male and I pressed "Set as default character". But to this day it hasnt changed back to a male. Whenever I play I am stuck as a girl. Maybe I wouldnt mind it...but the chick is ugly, even for a computer game. Is this a known bug? Can I fix this? I want my character to be a guy. Second question-Are there vehicles or tents yet?

Vehicles like cars, helicopters or maybe bikes would bring some more motivation for players which bought the game yet

So there's one main thing that I want to talk about here and it involves having to have something to be able to do something, like you have to have a can of food to eat, you have to have a gun to shoot, you have to have a backpack for space etc etc. One of those things I would like to come alive as end game content or at anytime as long as they can make it work along with everything else and itself too would be you would have to have a radio to hear missions, let me explain this. Now that Walkie Talkies work in game(yet no one gives a shit about them) it would be awesome to have a randomized message come over with a certain mission, it would not automatically be marked on the map, you would have to hear the coordinates it gives you and have a map to mark the location for yourself, it would be really hard, considering there are only 4 spawns for radios currently, and that you would have to be on the right channel at the right time, even though they could add this in anytime they wanted, I would have some specific things before they could add it in. 1. They would have to have base building and a working storage system(like tents) that would only reset when a server reset happens resetting everything, players, player-made bases, parked and fixed up cars, etc. They would need this so that the mission would be much more useful, instead of going there, getting some stuff, and leaving the rest. Instead you should be able to take the most important stuff and go store it at your base knowing that it is an unlikely chance of the stuff being stolen. 2. Vehicles would be extremely useful for being able to stash some of the stuff and get there fast having the advantage of getting the good stuff first and taking most of it away. 3. Servers would have to have better performance to be able to randomly spawn an ammo box or crashed vehicle, otherwise players would be lagging when they have no chance of finding the mission if they missed the messages. 4. Chernarus map as a whole would have to be made a little more bigger and have some ideal places for a good mission to spawn, sometimes with advantages and/or disadvantages. We will not talk about how these subjects should be or if they will be but I can bet you that all of them(especially 2 and 3) will be implemented. Now lets talk on how this would work Scenario 1 - So your somewhat geared up and have found a radio, you have plenty of batteries so you decided to keep the radio on a specific channel and browse through each every once and a while. You start heading to the awesome base you made from boarding up a secluded but nice house in the woods that has 2 vehicles, sadly out of fuel now, and quite a few storage tents there. You've gotten back and organize some of your gear, you don't have much, you're also quite low on ammo and food, but you do have a well outside for water, solid on that, you wait in your house for a while knowing that the closest possible place for food is 7 klicks out and you don't have enough energy to get you there and would die on the way, it would just be better to sit in your house, plus, there could be bandits or no food there. After waiting for a while you surf through the channels when you hear something on one, you hear a message saying "Any survivors out there! We've just crashed our truck at 111-222 and need some help, we have some supplies that we cou... BOOM!" Message lost? The truck probably exploded while they were transmitting, wait didn't they say supplies, I'm going to head there, *Looks at map and coordinates given* got it, Wow, only 3 klicks out, I must go there. *20 Minutes Later* Finally hear, oh wow, that crate is somewhat small, but enough for plenty of stuff, I could hall it back, but wait? Thats like 4 cans of fuel, I can probably lug those back and fuel my car. *30 minutes later* Damn, so hungry, well better fuel these up. *10 Minutes Later* Finally back, pew pew! Oh shit guy here. *5 Minutes Later* aha finally found him, PEW! One hit sniper kill, cha ching! *40 minutes later* Finally back after loading that stuff in, I'm stacked now. Only scenario i'm gonna do for now, I'll probably make up another one and put it in the comments sometime later. Oh BTW hope you liked my gun sounds. But anyways this should be the adventure of DayZ, maybe there could be NPC's in this, but from looking at the DayZ mod they need to make AI good, and by good I mean not aimbot and always know where you air, they should be survivors or ex military person ell that has forgotten much training from the passing time, as long as they are good I will approve. -WillPocalypse, Out!

There is a list of vehicles in the game pbo's. Why not post those?

These types of things would be pretty rare as they already are rare. These items don't get issued to every soldier, you don't need tons of them, and there are no civilian equivalents. I don't think that's a problem. As for vehicles, the ammo for them would be in extremely short supply for the same reasons above. There aren't civilian equivalents to the rounds generally. But .223 rounds would not be extremely rare, nor 7.62. Certainly not 9mm, .38 or .22lr

I do agree with what's being said about C4, rockets, grenade launchers, as well as military vehicles. I feel like the vehicles should not primarily be military as you would just have people flying around mowing other people down.

The main reason why I am against military loot is in games it is a slippery slope to a military pvp fps mmo... we are already seeing it. The military loot is the meta game, more inventory space, more bullets/capacity/rate of fire. Continue down the military road and you have little birds and c4 charges, LMG, NVG, heat scopes. imo it just can't be balanced in a "survival horror game" properly. You either make them soo difficult to find/maintain its pointless and no one will even use them. Or they are too common OP and hinders the survival aspect of the game and turns it into what we see now mostly pvp idiocy in elecktro. imo people are just unrealistic... batteries for anything like NVG are probably long dead they don't keep forever. Lets forget about the % of the population that would even know how to repair maintain tech, vehicles especially helicopters. Or even how stuff will corroed quickly without temp controlled buildings (that haven't been looted a year ago). While yes having some timeframe would be nice... if this was 2 years after "Z-day" I doubt you would find anything of use at any store or military base. Even a year... those are the first places people would go to loot. Some previous poster thought it would be cake just to walk to the gun shop and get "armed up"... but he forget about the gang with trucks loading up EVERYTHING shooting his ass as he got near with everyone running around looting. I can see small automatic arms like AKs and M4s but ammo should be scarce AND there should be wear on your weapons... so many shots you loose condition and chance of breakage. imo everyone should prefer to NOT use guns because the cost is so great you only fire as last resort...

The question I have is: Why is everyone against having a lot of military gear in the game? I would like to think that if something like this happened the military/police would be the ones to respond. Therefore it is my idea that military loot would be as random as civilian loot. Everyone rushing to leave and find a safe place to live would not even bother with picking up items off the ground. Maybe I'm just looking at it from the wrong perspective. Edit: 1) Not only referring to weapons. I'm counting in the clothing/vests and equipment. 2) Also speaking of vehicles when they are implemented. 3) There is no "gun" that is strictly for military. Unless you're looking at some of the high end explosives/grenade launchers. Almost every weapon the military uses has some sort of civilian counter part. Meaning most of the time they are no longer fully automatic.

Ya lol. Let's add persistent storage and vehicles before it even gets optimized. If that was the case we would have tents uaz's and 10 person servers with ultimate gaming systems hitting 30 fps max Op ur post is so entitled it needs to be banished

At a risk of sounding like yet another self-entitled, me-me-me, geef-geef-geef cry-baby in a self-obsessed, instant-gratification culture...I'm inclined to agree. On one hand, I appreciate that game development takes time.Time must be spent on 'behind-the-scenes' updates that nobody will appreciate. On the other hand, I'm really enjoying the game and I can only imagine how much more awesome it will be with vehicles, base building and persistent storage (among other things). So, GIVE GIVE GIVEEEE!

They have built a basic and functional zombie system that is in need of improvement and optimization. No question about any of that. However, there are a lot of other basic systems that aren't even in yet (hunting, vehicles, barricading, etc.) Basic functional versions of these things need to be put in place as well. Once all or most of the critical systems are in the game then the long road of improvement and optimization of them can begin. Zombies aren't done; they are basic placeholders that will be worked on in the future when the time is right.

I think its authentic to a degree. I mean if the apocalypse hits, the first guys im going to try and meet up with will be my friends. So that's ok that they made groups from outside the game. That being said all the guys I play dayz with I met in the mod. This is where the current state of the game comes in. With only having what you can carry people are reluctant to approach others. But when basebuilding and vehicles come in things will change. You can stash that nice rifle and your fave cloths, then go out with crap loot to interact and make friends. Maybe offer some surplus loot that's quite valuable to the other guy, building the friendship. I think this one will solve its self as development progresses :)

I agree... I'm also pretty sure they will continue to develop new structures and reformat the current cities, like what they are doing with the police station and clinic. To help with the future implementation of civilian aircraft they should definitely consider a larger airport, plenty of aircraft debris, a large terminal area with plenty of hiding spaces and what not.. To help with future implementation of vehicles, i would suggest a car dealership or just more of those junk yards. Would also be cool to see a mall or shopping center, some kind of street market, maybe an oil field.. Like some others have said - adding some mansions and formerly gang controlled properties.... A bike shop, supermarket, gun store, car mechanic shop... Just some normal everyday buildings.. Also I'm thinking they will throw in more apocalypse related structures, like road blocks, sandbagged buildings where survivors had linked up at the start, some cars that had driven into buildings.

The experimental servers give you a quick look at the next update and they are always full if there is some very interesting features added. When vehicles get thrown into the experimental one day, you probably wont be able to even join them. My internet connection is horribly slow so I just play on the stable versions. If you can download huge files quickly then you should go for it.

That would be completely unrealistic, why exactly are they slower than walking/running speed? Are they MK1 tanks from World War 1? And how come they have no weapons or ones that cannot be used? And the majority of tanks do not have a lot of extra room to store things. I don't think tanks are necessary anyway, the only military vehicles should be trucks, technicals and light cars (and helicopters later on)

Hi Prominentalex My name is John, I have a server just purchased (Epoch running Napf map) and would like some scripts added but have no real clue as to what im doing, I have spent 3 days trying to get just the AI (wicked) running so far all I have working is the mission side of it. I would like to add: 1. Trader safe zones 2. Auto Refuel 3. |Tow /Lift 4. AI - Heli patrols (wicked AI) and ground spawns 5. Admin control panel 6. Debug Monitor 7. Salvage Vehicles 8. rather than self blood bad - a few servers i have played on is Eat and drink and blood will go up is this possible 9. Possible Vehicle Key Changer 10. Build snapping may be a few other we can talk about thanks John

Hello there fellow DayZ players. :) I was wondering if the developers of DayZ was considering making different seasons like winter and summer. I personally would love a Chernarus during winter. It would definitely add another dimension and atmosphere to this game, some ideas that I have is that walking through thick snow would go a tad slower than normally, so you could combine for example, wooden sticks, some rope and a rag to craft yourself some snowshoes. When they eventually add vehicles, a snowmobile could be one of them, perhaps you could even craft some Cross-Country skiis. Now, I know absolutely nothing about developing a video game, and therefore I might be wrong, but when the game is done, would it really be that hard to implement a snowy ground, and just switch out the rain to some beautiful snowflakes, it shouldn't make the game more laggy since what's the different between rain and snow really? They could add white ghillie suits and other snow-camoflauged clothing and weapons. And during the winter, it would be all the more important to stay warm and have the right clothes, so when you spawn in, you have to rush to the nearest town to pick up some clothing and possibly heatpacks if they add that in. Thank you for your time and if you have any comments, improvements or more ideas, please write them below. // Jaws Bund

No military vehicles, more civilian vehicles like bicycles. However, I would be okay with Humvees if they DID NOT have a gun attatched to the top. Someone can stand in the gunner spot and shoot with their own gun, but I don't want to see a 50. cal machinegun on top of it.

I want the UAZ and Tractor for they were my fevourite vehicles in DayZ. The ATV was also excellent as a mobile tent and the bicycle was always fun to use when sniper hunting. Those are the vehicles I want from the DayZ Mod to be put into DayZ SA. So what vehicles do you want put into dayZ Standalone that were in the mod?

1. Seems somewhat plausible, but I can imagine that security of any nuclear plant and its facilities would be a major military operation and disposal would be handled very carefully, because every government knows exactly what a reactor leak is capable of doing. Not to mention that changing the map to a relatively small island essentially removes the likelihood of a nuclear reactor being there, as there would be no point in building one. 2. Depleted-uranium, is just that, depleted. It gives off much lower levels of radiation than fission rods and that used in bombs. Trust me, they wouldn't use it in civilian aircraft (and armored vehicles like the M1A1 Abrams tank) if it posed such a hazard to the crews and civilians around it. Granted, long term direct exposure to depleted-uranium will probably cause some adverse health effects, but as a frequent flyer I can tell you that I have not grown any third arms (yet). 3. Even a "tactical" nuclear warhead would decimate a rather large area and render it useless, so they'd better have a damn good reason to use them. A significant portion (much larger than shown on the preview) of the map would need to be ruined and the radiation levels would certainly be lethal. I doubt you're going to find any Level A Hazmat suits in Chernarus (and any that were there would have been used early on due to the virus itself) so it essentially makes the entire idea of a rad zone pointless.

Dude I loved Joint Ops. Had a free-play demo disc I played when I was younger. I loved putting the vehicles in the back of the chinook, flying to max altitude, then driving it out. lmao great times.

Not sure how it will work in the final version but in the mod there was group, vehicle, direct and side I believe. Right now it's just direct which is the immediate area. I guess when vehicles are added they'll add a vehicle chat channel.

Here's a shout out to all my fellow Survivors, Scavengers, Medics, Heroes, YouTubers, New Players, and other individuals in need of Security services! I'm posting here to let you all know that I am starting a service where anyone in need of support, help, or extra security/protection can hire me on for an extended amount of time until they no longer need/want my help. My time is cheap, so dont worry about payment to much :) What I do/can help with Need someone to provide over-watch while you loot the town? Call me up! Getting hunted by a pack of bandits? Call me up! Are you a streamer/youtuber who constantly gets stream sniped? Call me up, and Ill do my best to help you out! Medics providing assistance to survivors need extra security so you dont get ambushed? Im your guy! Is that one guy in Electro killing innocent survivors and you cant do anything about it because he has all the loot in town? Let me know, ill take care of him. and just about anything you can think of related to this! Will provide any form of Security, Over-watch, scouting/navigation, etc. Im a jack of all trades! I can provide medical/supply assistance for you, but I mostly work on security services. Experience/Skills My Name is Matt, but i prefer to be called Vee, as that's what i usually go by online and such. Im 20 years old, I've played Arma and DayZ for around 2 years now, Im very experienced in combat tactics, I know strategy very well, I know my way around Chenarus very well, and I work great by myself or with a group of 2-4. Can effectively engage targets at 600m or more if need be. Im pretty damn good at what I do, so when you call me up, you can expect reliability, and the job to get done. I cannot show you proof of my work just yet, so you'll just have to take my word for it. In the past I used to play with a friend from the Netherlands, and I was really the only guy he wanted to play with because I was such a good teammate, and i knew how to have a good time while doing what I do. Payment I will take payment of any kind. Right now, I will be taking donations, so my services are technically free, but as time goes on I will probably be in need of something. I do not ask for much. Usually If i do require payment, I'll ask for what I need most at the time like a can o' Beans, battery, a few bullets, etc. Donations are always welcome. Please do not offer me 6 pairs of pants though or something else that ridiculous, i need stuff I can use :D Contact If you want to get in touch with me, you can do one of 2 things. 1. You can post here or PM me, and i will try to respond as soon as possible. I will check here regularly. 2. Contact me on Steam directly. My Steam name right now is "Jumping Jehosaphats". This is subject to change, and if it does change, I will edit it here asap. Look for the same picture as my avatar here. I live in the US, in Mountain standard time(GMT-7) I am on usually from 1pm-10pm, can be earlier depending on what is going on in my life. When you contact me, I will respond as soon as reasonably possible. Real Life may interfere with my services(may be offline, out of town). In game I usually try to stick around the center of the map, and have a patrol route that extends down into the major cities. If you need assistance on the other side of the map, it may take a little while to get there, but i will finish the job, you might just have to be a little patient. I do HIGHLY prefer if the party i am assisting has a microphone(s), but it is not absolutely required, you just have be good with your communication when typing to me. Future Expansion/Goals As the game develops into a bigger/better version of itself, it will probably be easier to get assistance from me(Ex: vehicles, better gear,etc). I will also take on other individuals who are seeking this kind of work/or who seek to provide similar services. If you wish to do this though, you will have to be very experienced in DayZ/Arma, because the people you are helping are relying on you to get it done. Contact me here if you wish to help with this and join up. Should have a microphone. These kind of things will help to improve the overall quality of my services. over time. IF YOU WISH TO LEAVE A REVIEW, PLEASE LEAVE IT BELOW. Thanks for looking, and Happy Trails. I'll see you out there.... ***Will not provide assistance for: combat loggers, hackers, exploiters, and general jerkoffs. I have the right to refuse service to anyone.
