wisper

Most points are valid here (weight/fatigue, energy consumption/form of traveling). Perhaps all this should be implemented though after vehicules get introduced, (same goes for weather related sicknesses and their effects to running).

All kinds of explosives/support weapons could be included if: a. There is a missfire chance. b. There is a catastrophic failure chance. ...just to spice things up :p

Like sleep, it happens after u log off ;)

I want... but then rocket launching base and space station in orbit I also want :p

I want kukris! And a razor sharp boomerang (with a retrieving glove) mad max style! And crossbows! What, not found in east european countries? How about AKs then, meat cleavers and riot shields? Anybody think those are too exotic?

Fyi, people shot, drop like a sack of patatos and stay limp most of the time... once though this guy was shot by 5.56 and we had to find the wound to convince him that it was not a cramb.

For the time being (alpha) we all run arround like headless chickens. To each person their favourite poison I say, till we get somowhere closer to final product. Mark my word, by then all we have done will be irrelevant for anything more then as a nice memory.

Beanz for the pacific coast... it is plain wrong to not have riot shields lying arround after such an infection and who wouldn't want 1 to protect from zs?

I like JiJi's suggestion too, not instead. 3rd person restrictions could also be applied in the same way as wound/poison/sickness?

Or 2 guys can lay a trap this way... it's a cruel cruel world. Still, it would be cool to have a guilar. Could even use it as a one off improvised weapon.

In the small suggestions area: Can we have helmet covers with different paterns, flare guns, tunnels, and ...AKs?

Yes to both ladders, (still used in security opperations today) and ropes. Most important though is to have ALL doors accessible by either opening or braking them, plus ALL windows.

Grenades, smoke grenades yes! Dead man's trigger yes! Explosives yes! With a catastrophic fail potential when u set them up? Traps, mines.... yes with a simular catastrophic fail potential + a detectability value that would depend on success rate in setting them up? Rope could be used to set off traps from safe distance.

Gimme a bullet, a piece of pipe and a nail and I'll make u a nice trap trap trap... definitively a must. Oh, and I want explosives and dead man's triggers ;)

Also mentioned before, but since we like repeating: How about players get to chose if they want to spawn as zs? Only, they auto-attack uninfected when close by, (no zs as scouts for groups.)

This is a combination of great ideas, (from the forum,) into one suggestion: Why not give a z count to each server, (maxing towards the 6 billion :p ) where at certain number of kills specific assets get unlocked for THAT server. Assets could range from weapons to vehicules to base building to anything. For example, at 1000 z kills AK47 gets unlocked, at 5000 total z kills in same server AK74 gets unlocked... at 1000000 z kills Kamov gets unlocked etc. All equipment unlocked should be server specific, (u change server, u lose that cool laser sight). I can think of some benefits with the implementation of such a system: Players might band more together towards a specific goal. Players might "invest" time in specific servers, building towards new features. Players might attack other servers :) KOS, Bandits will most probably congregate naturaly to servers layed aside for this purpose. Less server changing. Last but not least, the developers might have an easier life introducing new features as these get functional.

Fire a blank to someone's face, up close and u stun them for a min. Could pull an eye out and cause burns too, depending on the round/weapon.

Frosti > ¿ Immersive> at 20 zs we introduce donuts! Darryl Dixon> U think? Imo the loot development portrays the communal effort to survive. Z kills is just used to put a "time stamp" on it. Don't forget that after something becomes available, u wil still need to find it in the world. Korsbaek> But people who do not want that would eventualy satelite arround more cooperative servers. After a while, any axe wielding pvp player would find themselves at a dissadvantage when visiting a world where the rest have guns and probably know each other.

Easy with the "deserve" gregor, visuals are too limited for positive id. Valid point RyBo, but I wouldn't hold my breath.

Anything other then nametags can be copied/faked. Plus, it's a game, no matter how much diversity is introduced there are bound to be many repetitions in appearance. As for immersion... u get killed-u respawn... super realistic :p U make nametags appear AFTER proper introductions by ALL parties and only if u CENTRE your view on them and PRESS RECOGNITION BUTTON, while in SHORT distance. This represents your effort to actualy recognize someone. U think this is not immersive enough, just don't use it :)

Do u know why the army has your name written on your chest? Because they can't have it floating over your head in neon... yet.

3. Too many people "went wild with bad taste" that it was withdrawn for now.

Why do I get the feeling that whoever does not approve of all kinds of nametags just wants to be safe while griefing? How realistic is to have the same litle shit server hop and bait all noobs, (or even friendly old dogs like me :) ) from the safety of anonymity. Plz spare me the recognition through arm bands/clothes argument, as in dayz u can even change your physical appearance... how realistic is this?

Also can TheEnder :) The dog tag idea has potential too.

Easy, it's the colonel! The rastafaries are the three lieutenants :)
