Hey guys, I'm new to this site but I've been following DayZ for a while now although I haven't actually played it yet, I'll probably wait for the stand alone to release. Anyhow, the reason I created this topic is to share my thoughts as a developer myself and to maybe get some answers as to where DayZ is going. The first thing I would like to say is that what you guys are doing is great and I'm really excited to play the stand alone version. Keep in mind though, the more unrealistic the game gets, sometimes the more boring it will be, for instance, if everyone were to have a jetpack or something like....a pumpkin head? These things may seem cool but will quickly make things unrealistic and boring. Now, I'm sure you don't have this kind of thing in mind, I was just exaggerating. I think, and correct me if these are already in the works, but I feel there should be less ammo, guns and vehicles, that way if you find a pistol or rifle or maybe even a car, it will mean a lot and it would make you want to do everything you can to keep and protect it. I also think that every player, or group of players should have a somewhat safe spot, maybe have rare locks laying around that you can put on a door and lock your stuff inside of a house or something, or maybe even small safes around the world that only 1-2 keys work for but also have lock picks so you could still break in if you wanted to. I love the game and the idea, people have already started making clones of DayZ (I wont mention names), and even though they may look decent, the gameplay and features are not even close to being as unique and in-depth as DayZ. I'm looking forward to this game and I wish you all the best of luck. If anyone has any info about how rare items and vehicles will be or has any info on safe locations let me know. Thanks!
