The day such feature will be possible, it would... There would... It's.... No words to describe it. All the present games would be thrown to the bin "Prehistorical". It's like inventing the wheel This day, humanity will be in big trouble (imagine something like Wow but 100 times wider and with 1000 X more player or roleplaying interactions.. It would be a blend of battlefield, warcraft and Grand theft all together...) By the way I'm still astonished by the fact that nobody, no government (game developers) is working or trying to design something of that width. LETHAL, selling such game would simply be "drug dealing". Done, that was a small "weeder from Cal-poli california" reflexion. .

I didn't know about this scene, it's brilliant. Unfortunately someone adviced me to not-watch the movie.. This clip changed my mind

KOBRA KOBRA KOBRA KOBRA KOBRA KOBRA KOBRA For moving situations/surprise kills or even when hurt. I don't like using it but I always survived when I had it. then: AKM If you miss the torso you will always manage to break a bone. + 1 point for the intimidating sound. "Bloum" - 'Silence' then a death message apears on the screen.

I think this way of building suggestion is'nt bad. Even if it may sound invasive... Here, for a small thing such as bird improvement. The discussion with players allows us to lighten up the very small details of the thing. Then we are more focused.

Thats exactly why I quitted playing as a Sniper around towns. I think that your issue comes first from desync problems. I mean by this that although you're aware about your surroundings, you'll have many situations in which a guy will be sprinting towards you while you'll still be listening to the "charcoal flushing on a rusty iron deck in Solnichny factory" soundloop. My only solution to this is to stick to regional servers (France and Germany only for me). And it id not a warranty of good sync (depends on many factors). Then off course, hoping and ch...ting may be the other ingredients for this explosive mix. I figured out that some LOTS of guys really put all their energy on this (revenge hoping). And surprisingly most of the time they are not playing alone but in teams (I still don't understand this). I know this feeling and its very embarassing especially if you have a very good sniper spot and have spotted the guy ages before he could even see your shadow. (very difficult / uncomfortable and narrow angle for shooting. (the place where you need to wait days before dinner)

Vultures great. But I would rather see them in the north part of the map (as for less populated) because I think that they fly in the areas which are the less crowded by humans and vegetation (empty fields and high mountains rather than over forest and towns so they can spot their targets and hunt easily) Though, the modelling wouldn't be as simple as the raven's one... (all black versus a real texture).

Any abnormal sound and I react like a submarine listener. then the stay and listen is the best one you can get : )

Please, there are respectable bandits.

+ 1 especially for some actions (vaulting / lying on the ground) must be faster / smoother.

I Don't really disagree with this proposition but its true that deagles or any other over powerfull guns would add trouble to the gameplay. Still, I'd like to see an old powerfull revolver such as this one : The name would be "collection pistol". And would have an only 4 bullets roller. Even if it doesn't fit to DayZ (post soviet) it would be original and fair enough to implement it. Afterall, there are Colt and BAF weapons in DayZ (revolver - M4's and m16's). BTW I'm thinking about a suggestion about adding three "collection weapons" Please tell me what do you think about this. The main feature would be that their ammunition would be craftable. Each of them would be really powerfull but with a very average precision. It would compose in: - a Carabine (something vintage looking like the Winchester. "collection rifle" - a vintage revolver/pistol "collection pistol" - a vintage hunting gun with pellets "collection shotgun" and "collection shotgun with short cannon" (Mad Max Styyyyle). In order to craft the ammunition you need Scrap lead and gunpowder. If you have any of these 3 types of "collection guns" you will only need to carry the scrap lead and gunpowder in order to create the ammunition. Crafting would apear in action menu as "Prepare bullet crafting" then after few seconds being able to "craft bullets/pellets X"number" with Scrap Lead" You would only need to be by a fire or chemny. The main advantage of this collection weapon system is that it allows to make lots of different weapon models with the same characteristics. Example the Collection Rifle would have 3 or 4 different models or sounds but with nearly or totally the same "Cfg"

Yeah, I guess it makes sense since players travel alot in landscapes. Anyway birds often eat crop and maggots on open lands. Alright ! I'll add these to the list

I think we have some poets over here ; )

This is great. People keep using red flares in DayZ. So I don't see any problem with lighting up a chimney in a house. Anyway even if it was only for pure aesthetic reasons, I would say YES to this.

Okay ! I'll add a list in the TOPIC post of all these details discussed in here. -the timer before return (roof tops and other "watch tower positions") - one or two ravens eating from dead (survivor) bodies near the roads. - The sneaking and no zombie variable and other sound triggerers. - birds also roaming in open fields - body timer before raven arrival (10-15 minutes and eventually fly sound importance modified) - Wether or not running zombies should trigger the birds. - ... Nothing more to be added ? For the drunken crow shooting game I don't think it can be realisable yet. Nor for the group of ravens flying in circles in the sky each time there's a dead body. (aesthetics and gameplay issues). .

I assume they would only react to Survivor activity only (not flying off when a zombie goes by) It may sound unrealistic but it suits the best. For the problematic of triggering the roof birds. I guess that a good sneak should'nt launch them as well. Though, their reactions should be limited to sound. As well as for Zeds. I often agro in towns while walking slowly (fully , not ducking) just because a zombie spots me 50 or 80 meters away. This shouldn't occur neither with birds nor zombies. A slow walk should make them think its probably an infected. (By the way I figured out that the safest way of travelling and crossing cities is by walking slowly, and for the moment I surprisingly still didn't get killed because of this.) Moreover when you walk slowly you tend to always see the different survivors crossing in front of you because they travel faster and louder. They don't even spot you on sight Off course, you should take into consideration "open to sniper areas" and concrete walls that will blend with the survivor skin colours.
