It's been suggested a year ago as I found out after searching. Thought I'd bump it up a bit. I think these vehicles should definately be included in a post soviet eastern Europe country, not only included but also be more common than let's say ATVs. Google Ural sidecar and you'll get plenty of nice pics. Just putting one here for example. There could be some variations with different specs and colors, a camo/military one (off road tires), and a couple of different color urban ones (normal tires, not good for off road driving). I think it would be fun riding in one of these, especially when sitting in the sidecar, and being able to freelook without having car roofs etc blocking your view. It would also be really sweet if the person sitting in the sidecar was able to shoot his weapon. Maybe there is a way implementing it in the mod (if they actually bother to include said bikes) by making the guy sitting in the sidecar not in the usual sitting position, but in a crouched position, not being able to change position, jump, or walk. He should only be able to turn a bit to the sides, let's say 30-45° to each side. It shouldn't be aesthetically bad since the player would be hidden by the sidecar from waist down. If this is even possible, then the person sitting in the sidecar would be able to equip a firearm and shoot straight and a bit to the sides. And as for balance, he'd be extremely vulnerable to zeds (and hostile players), since all his upper torso would be completely exposed, and shooting a gun -combined with the engine's noise- would attract many of them. Also by using this approach, the passenger is going to be able to hold many things except a gun. He could be holding a flashlight if its dark (or to make signals to someone far away), a glowstick, a flare, anything that can be equipped. A very (very) rough illustration of what I mean. Used this ural and this crouching model. I didn't crop his feet, they're hidden inside the sidecar, also tried to keep a realistic scale. Seems to me this could actually work. Feel free to share thoughts and ideas, but also try to keep the thread clean please. Below this line I'm adding every single idea that gets posted so one can skip reading the whole thread, and also to avoid duplicate suggestions. BigMike - Can also use sidecar for extra (they already have a small boot at the back) storage space when no passenger present. KoS - Attaching somehow blades (machetes) to wheels' axles and make a modern era scythed chariot in order to cripple (or kill) closeby enemies. Personally I find it a bit over the edge, not to mention that said blades would expand the width of the vehicle, should break away when in contact with any other object than flesh, etc. And you'd need a welding gun to make something like that sturdy enough in order to cut through whole legs, duct tape won't do it. Also methinks it messes up balance. You already have a vehicle with a shooter onboard, adding also blades would overpower it.

UPDATE... I have added a new village to the map, it's based in Novy Lug. It's an abandoned Medical outpost that had to be abandoned after the first infected came to rise and things escalated too quickly for the military to maintain. There's a medical tent where you might find supplies and a few military mobile HQ placements...toilets, deer stands for security and a mobile repair center. I've checked the spare parts storage and the fuel levels but it's been cleared out already. Damn bandits :rolleyes: Check it out there might still be things left that the crows didn't pinch. Watch yourselves though! It's on an old hunters plain and there's deer stands dotted in the fields adjacent to it. Keep your eyes on those horizons boys. ;) In other news there's now over 600 custom spawn locations for vehicles on the server that I personally placed myself. These are all over the map but with a fair majority along the coast so there's lots of opportunities to be had by both the one wanting the vehicle or those damn bandits to pray upon them drawing in prey. These locations will not always spawn in vehicles mind you. I've set it at a medium spawn rate so say 5/10 will spawn in. Helicopters are few and far between and there's many places they could appear. Keeps the demand high and the fear factor on edge :D

Vehicles aren't a major part of the game. I spend 90% of the time walking. But they are redoing them completely, that's why they are out. Cause right now it just feels like you're driving a giant explosive rock.

Vehicles ? :p already confirmed as absent from the initial release, I'd call them planned features, guess my statement was true.

Who replaces the vehicles and choppers after they blow up? Who disposes of all the dead bodies after restart? What is the meaning to life?

No more will the tractor be the laughing stock of all dayz vehicles!

The number of players is currently 20-30 people in the evening. There are still plenty of vehicles and construction sites for new players! The starter packages are well reveived by the community! do you already get one? -> get you your starter kit today and build your first house on our Origins server! I hope to see you soon! Greeting Northi

I disagree with everything you said . I'll give you this, am a bit disappointed about zombies and vehicles not being on initial release(vehicles are not that important anyways) . Zombies however, are . It is a zombie SURVIVAL game . IT IS SUPPOSED TO BE COMPLICATED . Ps . From my point of view , your complains and claims MAKE the game more "arcadey" or whatever . Matt is an experienced dev , even if he doesn't have serious gameplay time as you claim , his experience fills its place . Nothing is perfect, nothing will ever satisfy all you needs , their will always be differences , so stop complaining . Accept the game as its maker wants it to be , or don't buy it . Rocket did say he wont change anything he planned at this time period .

I have to say that most of the things listed in the OP (minimal HUD, filling magazines, player-to-player blood transfusions instead of using unrefrigerated blood bags etc.) are some of the things that I find the most awesome about the standalone. It's a shame that there won't be any vehicles on release, but that's for the greater good. They're being redone so that we have something better than what we have in the mod. I think the vast majority do not want a polished mod, they want a polished game. That's the reason the standalone wasn't released in December.

Yes and you know that adding all that stuff can easily double the weight of such a vehicle? And to counter that they have to improve the engine power or else it will literally kill itself because it is no made for the task let alone tthe clutch. You also have to improve the suspension, brakes and add better ( reinforced runflat ) tires. These thing withstand roadside bombs. All parts that you can't just order via amazon in an apocalype. Finding scrap metal and maybe even a welder might be easier. You also need some training for such vehicles because even with the scale of a normal car it handles like a truck. There are those vehicles and the makeshift "armored" vehicles that are simple vehicles with improved bodywork. They are good enough to protect you from rioting zombies, light collisions and maybe pistols, shotguns and small caliber rifles but nothing to drive into a major shootout with big bore and assault rifles, just exactly what you might need in an apocalype to be mobile and slightly protected.

There are other things you can do - set yourself an objective(s). Try to stay alive for as long as you can but going to all the high risk areas. Setting up a network of tents, repairing vehicles - the game is never ending, there is no end game so eventually you have to set yourself objectives because you're surviving now. When I log in I have things I want to do in that gaming session, or my mates and i decide on something. We move on foot so we get to see a lot more as well. The map is quite stunning in places.

I am not sure how well the community will respond to a difficult scenario in DayZ. The DayZ community overall is quite spoiled with how common military grade weapons are and how easy it's to obtain vehicles and helicopters. Back when on accident the zombies had a high chance of infecting players, the game-play changed quite drastically. Players of which didn't care about the patch simply ran into town would more than likely get infected, while the game rewarded players for being stealthy to actually avoid zombies. But alas the amount of crying forced the devs to revert this change... Now the question is... How will players react when the Standalone is much harder than the mod? Will rocket capitulate to the demands of the casual community?
