  1. DayZ needs more civillian clothing, more jackets, long sleeved tshirts and such. I think military clothes should be really rare to find, even in military spawn. Nowadays you can almost detect a KOS:er just by his clothes, usually the ones with fully green military clothes are the ones that kill on sight. Either way, in a real apocalypse, you'd probably wear whatever you wear on normal days. Unfortunately, I'm probably the only one who thinks that way. This won't change dayz much, but I'm really tired of seeing all green guys running around tbh.

    How to make DayZ perfect

    These are all my opinions and ideas on how to make this the perfect zombie survival simulator, feel free to agree or disagree: Currently, this game is a deathmatch, yeah I know, "Alpha". But honestly, it will remain a deathmatch if important changes aren't made Here are some of my ideas that will improve the game. There's no survival in this game as of now. Make loot harder to find: I can easily get my character fully geared in less than half an hour; food is too easy to find, there should be a constant struggle to find food. Like in a real zombie apocalypse, food would be #1 priority. Yet, for just a casual DayZ player it is impossible to starve to death. Weapons and ammo should be extremely hard to find, and so ammo. Pistols should be easier to find than rifles, not sure why it's the opposite at the moment. This will make the player think twice before shooting at another player; engaging combat with a chance of running out ammo, or hitting the other player so badly it ruins all of his gear, making the shootout pointless. With other words; make this game hard, it should take hours to get geared. Make the zombies a threat: No, zombies shouldn't be there to fill up space or be annoying, it should be your #1 enemy. And there should be many of them. not 3-4 in a city, but 50-60 zombies. Not only will this force other players to cooperate with random players, but it will also make great moments to remember. Just imagine you looting a town, then getting an aggro of 30 zombies. Then all of sudden the zombies get shot at from another direction, it's another player saving you. Awesome! Hordes is a must in this game. 100-150 zombies passing towns, going random directions, being chased by one will probably mean death, since zombies are faster than players. Private hives: I know this will probably come eventually, and I'm unsure if I like it or not. DayZ mod got pretty much ruined by these, since it's pretty much impossible to find a server that's vanilla dayz. But I think if SA gets it right, it'll be awesome. Roleplaying servers, and whitelist servers where the players on the server aren't 99% a-holes. I know there's no way this game should be played, but players literally have no morals. Consequences: For every move, there should be consequences. Sprinting should burn much more calories than jogging, so you would need more food. It should also make you exhausted, and running for too long should make you nauseous. The characters after all aren't professional marathon sprinters. Wearing too little clothes would make you freeze, eventually giving you a cold. Being shot at should give you a suppression effect. Character starts breathing heavily, harder to aim, maybe minor screen shaking. This list could go on forever, but as in a whole, giving everything more detail, making it more realistic. Base building and farms: Base building will come, yes we know. My idea is that you would either build yourself shelter somewhere, or take over a old house, making it secure from zombies. I want there to be farming aswell, building fences for animals to either eat or breed. Also farming with seeds so you can grow all kinds of vegetables and greens. Vehicles: Yeah, these will probably come, we don't know yet. But I hope they get it right. Most vehicles should be broke down, and please no military helicopters. You would have to search and search industrials for engine parts, fuel etc to fix the vehicle you've found. They should not be found operational, there has to be some work to make them to work. I'm too tired to write more, but imo, if they implement all this, it will be the game I'd fall in love with.
  3. Seriously guys, if you're one of the kind of players im about to describe, please answer this. What is the point of locking yourself in a 2 story building, and waiting for fresh spawns to run in so you can shoot them? Is there a point to it? Do you gain anything? I really don't see it as a thrill, I'd consider it being on the same level as the group of people that ruined call of duty.

    Make mics a requirement.

    This is kind of offtopic but why choose a girl gamer as an example? I thought we wanted equality. I've probably been more harressed than any other "girl" gamer out there, I played cod for 7 years, and you have no idea how many people have slept with my mother and how many c*cks i've sucked.

    Quick question:

    Ok so I just broke my leg as a fresh spawn and im in the middle of nowhere, and after drinking water until i vomit I get the "I'm starving" Dark orange colour. So my question is, can you die of starvation by laying still, being tabbed out? I really dont feel like rolling around til i die

    More civillian clothing.. Less military

    How much gear could you possibly need? I run t-shirt, jeans, a hunting backpack and thats it. Carrying food is completely unneccessary once energized and hydrated tbh.

    Quick question:

    I don't carry weapons so why would I have ammo? :D
  15. maninthewall

    Quick question:

    Stop playing that "Im so badass I know the map I play so much inland" I know 90% of the map, if you were to spawn inside a random forest you wouldnt be able to know where you are immediately. Some of us dont find running in a forest simulator fun, so we stick to the coast for the action and interactions
