Hello all, Since we all know Dayz is pretty much a ffa atm and the humanity system isn't really working, I came up with an idea that might help towards more coop play and less kill on sight. One of the key points though, is some sort of group system. I dont mean a group system with icons and what not but a way for the game to know players are friendly towards eachother. The idea So the basic idea of a fear system, every player starts with a basic fear level ( like they did with humanity ) wich in influenced by the world itself aswell as the player and his/her actions. just a few things that would increase a players fear level could be; the amount of zeds in x radius of the player, high pop area's, nearby enemy players, zed aggro, killing a player aswell as nearby friendly infected players. while nearby friendly players, low pop area's or woods could return fear levels to normal over time. Increased fear levels result in shaking, loud breathing and maybe increased hunger or thirst. The amount of zed killed, players killed and time alive could influence how much of an effect these things have on their fear level.( keep in mind its all just a basic idea that would need lots of work). So basicly, 10 zeds are more dangerous to 1 player than they are against 4 players, so 4 players would have little fear of them where 1 player rather avoids them. So what would this do? It would let people that group up undertake dangerous missions such as raiding an airfield with less risk than a solo player. Ofcourse a solo player is still able to do what ever he wants, but he is gonna need to be alot more carefull and stealthy. Also it should prevent solo players from camping big cities with a sniper just to shoot all the fresh spawns as there aim would be pretty shaky and would be easy to spot. I would like to know what you guys think of such a fear system, pro's aswell as cons ofc. Any other suggestions to it are always welcome!

Ah i missed that post, might aswell delete this one lol

Well here are some idea's for the swamp, not sure if they are all possible though! - Swamp gas, maybe a random event where it rises up from the water at certain area's. ( not uncommen in real swamps ) - partially submerged vehicles which maybe can be towed out to be repaired or can cantain loot. - not if this one is possible, musquito's that could bite/sting a person with a chance of infection or diseas ( swamps are breeding grounds for these things ) - more fogged area's. The shallow waters have a higher chance to produce fog than lets say a grass land. - slower movement. Swamps are unpredictable and often have holes or softspots so running through them should be a bit harder. - Floods, after a heavy rainstorm parts of a swamp can easely flood and therefor destroy tents/stash you have been hiding there.

As much as I like realism in Dayz, its still a game. I convinced a few friends to start playing but they quit after running around going nowhere for 20 minutes. But since realism is a big issue for lots of people here, there should be ways to make some sort of party system without being to unrealistic. Im not sure about you guys but I dont live that far from my friends, we live in the same city or town nearby. So maybe it would be a nice thing to start as a "group" and be able to spawn max 2500 meters away from eachother. Party chat is not needed since most people that play together will use teamspeak or skype anyway. If you get the option to sort of customise your character than no partymember icons are needed either. As far as I noticed its the Huge space between people that bothers new players the most. I really hope somthing like this will be in the SA!

I think the music is a bit to distracting, people will turn it down just to make sure they hear someone walk or fire a rifle. I really do like the idea of more ambient music but it needs to more of a background thing if you ask me.

The following is somthing I would personaly like to see, if you dont agree thats fine ofc! * increase the health(blood) zombies have so it would take alot more rounds to take them out, ofc a headshot should still instantly kill them. * If a character is bleeding he has a higher chance to draw zombie agro * when playing in a group, zombies should focus on the character with the lowest blood level since that would be an easy meal. *screams of pain and terror (when zeds are eating you) should attract more zombies and make them focus on the person being eaten instead of the nearest target. * players killed by zombies or near zombies should be eaten over a certain period, after lets say 5 minutes the body should be removed. * make zombies unable to pass through wirefences,sandbags etc. *if you fire your weapon, zombies should go to the global area around the shooting instead of his exact location. (unless they are really close ofc.) * remove the zigzag movement of zombies, they want our brains and wont try dodging bullets getting to us. * make zombies actually run close enough to a player to hit them instead of making them stop a few feet away and miss their attack. All of the above should make zombies a bit harder and should make you think twice before taking a shot at them. Right now other players are a way scarrier then the zeds, I would like a zombie apocalypse instead of a player apocalypse!

You cant swich? Step 1: start a male character Step 2: run to a horde of zombies and let them eat you Step 3: hear your character scream like a little girl! also if you come to cherno i could shoot you in the nuts if that makes you happy :>

Zombies can cause you to get sick. Also if your temp drops below 35c you have an increased chance to get sick, you dont get sick right away. Also, if your temp drop below 30 you will start losing blood and the icon will start to blink. Heatpacks will restore your temp to 42c in one go but cant cure sickness. Keep in mind that walking near/in water or diving a boat will make your temp drop pretty fast!

I just went there and i can comfirm the dying sounds at the boathouse. the zombies instantly respawn there aswell. I tryed to head to the house further inland but in magicaly teleported me back to the boathouse when i was 30m from it.

3 comments later you still failed to read it, gj dude

stop commenting before you can read. Try reading it again and see what it actualy says.

No one cheated, you just got killed in a firefight and looked for a reason / excuse to make up for it. Conveniently made it back in no time with that bike hey? Also, Dfekt I have no idea what you are trying to say aside from, "having a hacked weapon is worse then having hacked items or hacking in items"... What the hell does this mean? Learn to read please.

All those people that claim they found the gun and didn't hack them' date=' yah they are all banned or did you not get that memo? are these guys banned? NO! OMG THEY ARE NOT BANNED?! THEY STILL ARE HACKERS!!!! FUCK LOGIC! i found a scar on a man body! so you say im a 100% proven hacker because fuck logic we dont need it! @goat Lets use your logic =3 this will be fun. You had a Jeep your hacked it in i want a DEV to take your server away. You came back on a bike within several minutes... a ride that would take more then that you spawned yourself need a bike. DEVs REMEBER THIS IS GOAT LOGIC. But seriously your server regularly runs over well over 30 people for hours on end. Yet you happen to die, respawn once, and find a bike hidden at the exact spawn you spawn at? a spawn many people have spawned at throughout the day and none of them found this magic invisible bike? Does anyone else this this is suspicious? oh wait everyone who is not a 7th does. 7ths dont think, they know. [/quote'] I dont think you know what logic is at all... Jeep = ingame Dayz item Scar = not ingame Dayz item if you think all hackers or all people with hacked weapons are already banned you are retarded. If you think that somone that owns a server does not have a camp set up somwhere with probebly more than 1 vehicle you are retarded If you think shutting down a server cause you suspect hackers, and see a hacked weapon is worse than having hacked items or hacking in items you are retarded. Furthermore, your logic says that goat hacked in the jeep and bike. Now you tell me why he would shut the server down to save his jeep if he can just spawn a new one.

holy shit man you are so mad about shooting that tree to shit LOL get fucked kid You are even more retarded than i thought... I wasnt even on that server moron. Ow and btw your caps is on again

your caps is on.

I dont think it was wrong to do so. In this case is was a hacked in weapon, in other cases its a hacked in tank. both are just as bad. Even if it was to save a vehicle ( wich i doubt since you can easely get a new one) You guys where still the one that had the hacked weapons. Also you must know that hackers have been on the server before, it might have been an early call to shut it down but hey, better safe than sorry!

well i would not been on a server with people with hacked weapons or a tank, so you must agree on shutting the server down when their is hacked items involved as you would not want to play on it either.

So picking up a weapon from someone you killed or a dead body = hacking yourself? Okay. Did you see me saying you hacked it in? No you did not. Im saying that you first said you no one ever touched it and right after you said you did. Do yourself a favor, face the fact you cheated and get out of here. Edit: If i find a tank on the server and shoot you in the face with it, would saying ow i didnt spawn it i just found it justify my action? Would you be all like ow if thats the case np mate! I think not sir.

ow so now you did touch it.. you just said you didnt a few minutes ago mate..

Yes, a bunch of hackers spent hours finding parts and vehicles so that we could nuke a server. This makes sense. With the amount of butthurt over a weapon being hacked in the game and picked up, you should search the forums and see the other posts about hacked in weapons, vehicles. It happens a LOT. Countless times we have seen hacked in weapons on different bodies, try playing on different servers and not your own shitty one where you can shut down to get your stuff back after dying. There was no indication of anyone hacking and none of us have ever touched that crap, this is simply looking for a pathetic excuse to shut down the server after losing the fight. As for the weapon kills to get it straight, I killed Goat the first time with the L85 ramboing right at him then =7Cav=PVT.BeaverJ with the AS50. You tell me to get the weapons straight? I said the exact thing you just said again. Maybe learn to read apost before you comment on it. Also, you say none of you guys ever touched that "crap".. which is weird since the logs showed you did. Also your friend said he had it.. Server logs dont lie, unlike you.. Also I aint in the Cav, i just dont like hackers that come up alot of bullsh*t to justify their actions.

This game could use alot more ambient music that blends in with the surroundings. Random noises making you think you aint alone and get you all paranoid. I really dont feel like walking trough a post apo world when all the birds are twittering happy and some nice music is playing.. I'd love different spooky sounds in the big towns and buildings!

aint thinking: "ow those guys speak russian.. i dont understand a single word they say but hey i dont care, i just let them be.. i wont party with them anyway" more racist then asking them to speak english to improve the game experience?
