I was taking my dog Zoi for a walk, letting my mind wander and I suddenly had an idea, what if you can add collar pouches onto the dogs in the upcoming update. That would be awesome. Here are some ideas for the specifications about it. -You could only find them in supermarkets ( just like bear traps only spawn in barns ), they would be a bit more common than the bear traps but still be a bit rare. -It would take up maybe two or three slots in your inventory. -It could hold 6 items ( food, drink, extra ammo, medical supplies, notes maybe? ) -Maybe you could place a GPS inside one of the slots which will allow you to give a command to send the dog off to some coordinates. -Maybe you could place a satchel charge inside one of the slots and use it as a dog suicide bomber which could kill groups of people and vehicles. -This isn't really related to this topic but maybe there could be mini Kevlar vests that can let the dog take less damage from shots. These are some of the ideas I had and just had to share. Post your opinion, every opinion counts, even if it's dissing my opinions and ideas, I don't care.

Couldn't agree more. The AI bandits are the other non-player threat, and yes, once you are armed and supplied it is easy to get the drop on even them. The kicker here is that I plan on making it quite hard to reach that point where you are 'fully' armed and supplied. Yes, on a vanilla server it is easy to accumulate supplies, but I will be tweaking loot tables and spawn drops to 'compensate' for the passage of time after a place is abandoned (you know, within reason. I have only a few players right now so I am leaving it be until I actually get some people to hang around in order to observe the changing setting). I am taking a realism approach (yes I know, it's not easy to simulate realism in a video game based on a zombie apocalypse!) to the Chernarus situation and allowing people to play through it as if their goal WAS to literally rebuild humanity in the area. As mentioned, already vehicles do not respawn automatically, loot will become scarcer in the future, bandits will get tougher, etc. This server will evolve based on the needs of the players, and if that need encompasses PvP, then we certainly will. Imagine performing a harrowing trade for supplies with a bandit group! Will they double-cross and hope for a massive payout in lieu of future trades?? Will they short-change or ROB you?? Noone knows! Play and see! Hopefully we get some players who are mature enough to take this sort of approach to banditry, because any smart bandit knows that killing the guy who loots stuff for you is a bad business decision. As another slightly-related point, my gaming buds are being very stubborn when it comes to playing DayZ, so more often than not I am flying solo in this game. You could call this server an attempt to round up some more peeps!

Hopefully they're putting all the extra resources they're saving with this shit-tier UI system into implementing some vehicles some time in the near future.

Idea: Add a foldable bicycle into DayZ,which can be found in residential buildings. Explain:In his normal mode you can use it like the a normal bike. But when the bike is folded,it will replace your backpack and you can carry it around. Useful in the gear of your car when a wheel get broken,or you dont want to leave the bike alone. ( ^ Real life picture) Tell me, what you think about it. Hopfully my English wasn`t to bad :D (I know that the DayZ Alpha dont´t be vehicles,but maybe it will be added later.)

Rocket. Please can you force a good level of Trees and Grass in the standalone. In the Mod everyone plays with no trees and grass coverage to get a tactical advantage. I know of players playing with 2560x1600 with minimum coverage on a GTX Titan. This is a joke. No player should be able to reduce graphics to gain tactical advantages. Please force a high level of coverage to provide cover for players hiding and scouting. For all the cry babies out there who will say their rig isnt powerful enough then they can choose to reduce the resolution to 1280x786 or something. This will be their trade off. They will lose resolution rather than cut down the coverage to gain FPS. I have seen people go as far as deleting Trees and Grass from their system folder to gain tactical advantages to see tents and vehicles and players who are hiding from bandits. Please do not let this happen.

Dayz lacks other realism aspects. Why aren't there like a 1000 vehicles? Is it a zombie apocalypse or a nuclear one? Most vehicles should be in good condition to use. And even if there were 1000 vehicles, and only 30 players, a new player would never find a vehicle, because groups/clans like doing vehicle collections.... And how is getting shot from nowhere or robbed good? Just creates a very deep frustration inside of me that's enough to make me stop playing for months and return later only for the same shit to happen again. Players are far more interested on killing one another then zombies. Some server look like Counter Strike really, only difference is that it's zombie edition.

That's not easy to enforce unless you have someone watching everyone on the server 24/7. I could create a "safe zone" on my server if you're interested. Anyone entering the area would get teleported away. Unfortunately, it's usually pretty dead but I don't really advertise it. I should start. lol. Running Tavi right now with Sarge's AI, debug monitor, clear weather, added buildings, vehicles and a few hidden bases.

Not for me. I hosted a server for myself and my friends and we had a blast. For once, we could actually make bases, keep vehicles and gear.

No where is safe!) Feel free to check out our Server! The address is: 94.242.227.182:2302 You can also join our community, as well as donating for in-game rewards. Thanks!

did you read the poll? Have you followed the dev blogs? from what I have seen certain aspects of the game are going to be either inaccesable or very hard for solo players. such as heli flying and repairing vehicles etc etc. on a side note... good poll. not sure what everyone moaning about anyone with any sense will do what I did and splitt in it 2 halves and to them 1 hour apart.

Indeed, I'd like to see something RPG or AT-4-esque that occupied the backpack slot as a super-rare military drop for dealing with vehicles.

Finaly found a post about this. A tracking elemt should def be added. Aswell as vehicles leave tracks. For example. If the same rout is used in the forest by a vehicle eventally it should get grinded up by the tiers. Add tracking elemt to it. Aswell as a dog that you can let smell of leftover soda cans etc to smell and get you going in the right direction. Maybe even teach the dog to be good att tracking a sertain type of animal or himan etc. But yead thread maker got my beans.

TLD wanna R; Be careful who you make your Admins, They can drive away players with their abuse of powers. I was on a server that was looking for regular players, they want people to donate for perks and assist in keeping it running. No issue with that! started with around 10 - 15 in the server and with my group of friends there was an extra 6 or so people on all the time, some good mini battles between other bandit groups of 2 or 3 people. So i'm considering donating to help the owner out and heck i get some perks out of it aswell. Have our tent 1.5k out from the NEAF.. So i'm at the airfield after a restart and all of a sudden I hear a heli. It flies right over me and is heading directly where our tent is. So i get back to our tent and all our good stuff is gone..........Like every Sniper, Every Med supply. Left the various parts for vehicles etc and other small arms. I'm like "How did the Heli know where our tent was?", usually I don't care but you know that suspicious feeling you get... like he was directly on point to our tent, I doubt he was just scanning the trees for tents. It was a dead straight shot to our tent. Person does a winky face and sez "MAGIC"... So i call him out on comms and he sez "NO VOICE ON SIDE".... I say "Use your admin map to spy on me to loot other groups tents?".... "Laughs sez donate for admin if you don't like it" Kicks me... I join in and on the loading screen it lists the owners of the server and a few admins "he's on the list of admins" Come back in and calmly say "plenty of servers out there with admins who don't want to cheat to get ahead, I advise all other groups here to consider finding another place to make their home" Look at the server a few days later only tops 6 people in the server lol... mostly it's 2 hahaha

arma 3 vehicles are "durable" because its all bugged....like the fact you can drive a hunter with no wheels, or the pickups go from like 20kph to like 100kph with no warning and are close toImpossible to stop...

You can't see tents. I suppose you can guess where they are based on a player being in the middle of the woods for no other reason but you can;t see their location. You also can't see exact locations of players/vehicles, just approximate. Players are also quick to call 'admin cheats'. I admin on a server but 99% of the time I only have the kick/ban/chat stuff on not the live map. There is no fun in knowing where other players are. I do spend most of my game though looking for bases and vehicles in odd places. with a chopper it's quite easy to spot vehicles even in the woods and after a while you get to know the places people put them. Quite a few players will moan about hackers or admin abuse when their camps get raided, but when you park two choppers in a clearing or have like 5 vehicles in the woods with like a Ural in there they are going to get found and people are going to go find the tents that are near them. The OP makes a good point though, if admins abuse their powers the server will loose it's population. I also don't see the point of admins using the map to find player bases and stealing stuff when you can literally spawn in anything you want, so they are just essentially trolling. Checking camps though is a good way of spotting the more subtle hackers, like when you find a tent with 40+ stanag SD rounds or 6 cayote packs and the guys have been on the server for like a day!

I'm looking for a normal server. When i say that i mean -day/night -weather changes -normal starting (nothing like an m16 ) - no massive amount of vehicles everywhere (Like the servers where at least 5 people have a helicopter) stuff like that. I'm not bashing the people who like to play with stuff like that i just want the original dayz experience (only been playing for 2 days) Thanks all

You are more than welcome. Its open to all and small teams might just get a bit of an edge on it too. Objectives vary and feature things such as hits, killing a target with specific items, capturing players, healing/helping players, surviving, building check points, repairing vehicles, destroying vehicles, securing areas and much much more! Reward Funds can be used by players and teams to purchase some pretty decent kit too , including some very nice hardware not found elsewhere in the game. This weeks hits and objectives can be found here;- http://www.bsbnetwork.com/bountyhunterz

I am delighted to announce the return of our popular Bounty HunterZ event on our own private hive server! For those of you who aren't aware, Bounter HunterZ was an event we ran last year successfully for a number of months and we have now re-opened. The BSB Bounty HunterZ event is a weekly ongoing tournament designed for our own Day Z Factions and other Lone Wolves or private teams that play on our server. The idea of the event is that a weekly "hit" list and bonus objectives are posted on our events page here to give players who are looking for more action and some structured team based play and ongoing objectives. Participants are rewarded with Faction Funds ($) for completing the objectives, or in some cases just by surviving!. Faction Funds can then be used to purchase weapons, ammo, vehicles, tools, building materials, consumables etc. from our Faction Store - available via our. Rewards can obviously only be claimed from action on our server though, full list of rules can be found on our website @ http://www.bsbnetwork.com/bountyhunterz Anyone is free to take part in the event or to even volunteer as a "target" but they must be active on our server (we can check!) and they cannot claim a survival reward if they are deemed to be inactive. Full details & rules apply and can be found at the website @ http://http://www.bs...m/bountyhunterz Server

I would like a server that has: LOTS (and I mean LOTS) of vehicles Dogs Removable vehicle parts Admins that don't freaking cheat like noobs (I'll post some more later.) So if you could, I would like a server that has at least TWO of these.

It looks pretty good and i am kinda excited for more vehicles and customization but this update really encourages clan/group play, which is kinda causing issues throughout origins were clans well establish themself on a server, gear up, go to spawn zones and wreck new players and solo players that cant fight back, giving them strongholds only makes that prospect even scarier, just throwing that out there!

Yeah awesome server guys . I have a great time playing there, admins are friendly and lots of vehicles and choppers available. GJ !!!! B) :thumbsup:

Server name: SurvivalistGaming IP: 72.5.102.170:2302 Loc=US-Denver, Diff=Regular, Map=Chernarus, Slots=40, TZ=off, 3DP=on, CH=on, NP=on, DM=on, SC=on(at the moment), PW=no, WL=yes Contact: http://survivalistgaming.freeforums.org (sorry about the crappy free forum, a website is in the works...) Server is taking a non-enforced RP approach to DayZ (players are welcome to play and ignore the thematic elements). Starts with the 'Post-Day-Z' feel, you are a well-equipped remnant of the military who has chosen to stay behind after the military has abandoned Chernarus to the zeds. Bandits are poorly equipped but numerous, and lootable items are common (a la vanilla-DayZ). As time progresses, bandits will become more skilled, all types of weapons and loot in general will become rarer, and individual survivors who take on 'professions' can greatly increase the survival chances for the community. In the future, the server may migrate to a new mod, a new map (or possibly both), taking the community with it to create more good times! Events in the meantime will include admin-driven events such as programmed hotspots around new or rare loot (such as bonus vehicles or weapons), mini-games among survivors for bragging rights, and stat-driven progression to obtain rare equipment and consumables for your characters (that you -could- loot for if you don't want to take part in the events, of course). Vehicles do not respawn [with rare exception], and there are AI bandits about, so be extra careful in the daytime! Server has three 8-hour 'days' of 3am-11am each, first cycle sync'ed with MST. TeamSpeak3 server is available. Sign up for the whitelist today!

just added in the crafting system. can make several different guns and survival gear. up and coming is AI protected bases with high end loot on the AI and the buildings they are protecting. come check us out. active/friendly and mature admins. tons of vehicles . buffed loot spawns to make you trek to NWAF and Stary worth your time. new things added every couple of weeks.

You didn't know where berinzino was. Had no clue what the sound of the shotgun was shooting at you, and kept asking questions about the gear and vehicles we had. You also didn't know where you were on the coast and didn't look at the text. Declined, sorry.
