1. Your eyes get used ot the dark (but not fully obviously) after a period of time. 2. A motorway/freeway that runs from south west to north east. 3. Big service stations (1 or 2) on the motorway/freeway that you can raid 4. Safe communities of houses/barns etc with NO zeds in the countryside. They could be areas where survivors can head to and defend (using barb wire, trenches etc). 5. The ability to make a white flag! I know people will laugh but it might be worth a try! I'm sure half the murders could be avoided with this we're not all bandits. 6. I've heard bandits will not be allowed backpacks. Will not having a spiderman satchel really prevent or decrease banditry? Having bandits (and no NPC's) is at the heart of DayZ in my opinion. THATS WHY YOU NEVER FEEL SAFE. I dont think giving them sanctions will work because it doesnt in real life - people just adapt. If you want to get rid of bandits or reduce them you need to reduce their life span. You could simply put a cap on how many people you kill. I.e if you kill 10 times, acidentally or not, your character is removed and you start from scratch. A more passive way would be to increase melee weapons to encourage beatings rather than killings! 7. Commercial zones to loot. You have residential, industrial and military but no commercial. Commercial loot could be mobile phones, wind up radios, laptops, money (for trade also?), anybody else have any commercial suggestions????? 8. Bludgeoning weapons like base ball bats that stun rather than kill. Players could just get beaten up rather than killed then! Zeds could go down for a minute so we can loot and run. 9. Communication - This is key to survival. Its funny how on games like mw3 everyone has a mic but no one talks. If its realism you want make it so you HAVE to communicate PvP by mic only. no chat bars! Chat bars in the game lobby would be nice though. 10. What is the actual point of this game? Is it just survival? Are we expected to 'complete the game' or carry on forever? . DayZ is a sim. Your in a virtual world, it would be nice to have another layer to enjoy when your tooled up but got no mates to mess about with. I guess you just have to imagine what you would do in a real zombie apocolypse. Rebuild? 11. Kids - where are the child zombies at?
