I have to say, this is really a perfect map in terms of tone for DayZ 2017. It's spooky as hell. The bleak landsape works so well with the 2017 models. The sheer number of zeds is frightening! I don't think I made it more than 50 feet in any given direction without seeing another zed walking...

I remember this issue with vanilla DayZ. An abort timer for being in combat is cool - I don't even have a problem with being in combat when zombies are aggroing on me... I think that's a good thing to have. But, having a 30 second(?) timer when ever I want to leave the game is a tad bit...

The shotgun shells and slugs both look the same on the ground. It used to be that pellets had a red casing and slugs had a green casing... that's what it looks like in inventory still, but on the ground, slugs and pellets are both red casing.

Since the DayZ zombie mythos is one based on an infection similar to a toxoplasmosis like zombifying parasite rather than re-animation of a dead body, I had this idea about the nature of the infection one gets from eating zombie flesh or being hit by a zombie. It came to me after watching the...

I've pulled most of this from a post I made in the DayZ forums. Given that the zombies in the DayZ mythos are not the undead sort of Romero's Dawn of the Dead, but more like the infected sort of Boyle's 28 Days Later, I've been thinking about the way they handle sight and sound: I feel that...

Because 5 years on, most every bolt you see will be one that has been pulled from the corpse of a zombie, it might be cool to add a chance of infection if you get hit by a crossbow bolt. The idea being that infected blood gets into your system when it pierces the skin. Maybe a 20% chance? I'd...

So, after a crash course in Blender, I've just about finished the basic model of a handmade crossbow pistol. It's based on a how-to article by Edwin Love in Science and Mechanics back in 1963. I thought it would be cool if DayZ 2017 had a crossbow for a secondary weapon (especially if 2017 is...

let alone DayZ 2017. In my quest for good 2017 servers mit ze gut ping, I came across this particular server and was sorely disappointed: Yep... this is what you start with on this server... everything and then some. Ugh... I mean, seriously... what's the point?

Hey Shinkicker, I just played on your server and, for some reason, I couldn't gut zombies. I was able to gut an animal. What was weird, was I would get a flash of the option in the center of the screen, it would quickly disappear... and no matter how I maneuvered myself around the body, I...

So as not to distract from the discussion on gdscei's sleep mechanic - where I brought this up originally, I thought I'd create a separate thread for this idea. Currently, people are able to run and sprint to their hearts content; the only impact it has is on aiming. You do run a little slower...

Am I crazy or are Tweaker packs spawning as loot? I recognize that sometimes we find them because somebody's changed theirs out, but I think they might be spawning as well. If so, do we really need them to spawn? It's frustrating to go looking for an upgraded pack... wait for the loot to...

Because hacking is especially rampant in 2017 - I just got killed with a silenced gun by a seemingly invisible player not long after a message showed up about some dwarden setdamage something or other message appeared on the screen on the ausdayz server - can admins please whitelist their 2017...

Is there now only one male survivor skin? I noticed that on every server I've played on, I get the same skin to start (the bearded guy). And, on a server where I had the soldier-like skin, suddenly I'm now the bearded guy. Apart from the fact that I can't use my aviators with it, the...

The fantastic inclusion of zombie hordes in the forests got me thinking. Why not make use of all those helicopter spawn sites and create a zombie herd. One herd of 15 to 20 zombies that spawns on server restart at a random heli crash spawn area and, when not aggroed, follows a path that takes...

Here's an idea that could increase player/zombie interaction (for better or worse, depending on who you're around at the time). Lower the temperature on the map to what it is at night and remove heat packs. This will force people to either head inside (which will only increase temperature...

I tried twice to set a tent in v 1.1. Both times, I was kicked for Restriction #20.

For some reason, after being able to play fine today, suddenly, I'm getting various errors. First it was a downloadable content dayz_anim message and now, it's a "something went wrong, disconnect and try again" error. Can't join the shinkicker server. Tried through DC and directly via the...

I've seen the CZ 550 spawning in v 1.1. But, when you pick it up, it disappears. Noticed that it hadn't been added in the changelog, so is this the same loot table issue as before?

Was hunger modified for this mod? I thought it would be harder to survive when it came to food, and yet... it was surprisingly easy - I've got 3 cans of food and, now that I can hunt, a lot of cooked meat. I can get through several hours before the food icon starts blinking. Considering the...

I tried to store a shotgun in a tinker pack (20 spaces)... I had 13 spaces open and it destroyed the weapon. Is this a bug? Or are we not able to store guns in backpacks in this mod - which would kinda makes sense for a rifle, I suppose.
