Yeah i like the idea! However do not make it too complicated. Proteins, Carbonhydrates, Fats and Vitamins would be just enough to look after. Having a disbalance should have just one bad effect, there shouldn't be like 1000 possible symptomes. Also i like the idea of looting bushes and trees for food. Reduce tinned meal and make gathering food a real challenge. For now, theres actually no need for hunting. That should give people a goal beside shooting people randomly.

Yes i mentioned it! I'm 21, it was famous here in my country when i was in primary school. 2 years ago, we bought the old original version, played it a couple of times since then! The main thrill for us were those intrigues... Sometimes i wrote somebody a SMS under the table, suggesting to pretend we are opponents. Others would think we were in war, thinking we wouldn't be harmful to them since they tought we were busy. When they were distractingly discussing something, we silently said something like, you attack here, i there... The more often people play this game, the more tricks they do and the more ttricks they recognize. That ends up in something we call in german "doubled/tripled psychology" : Pretend to pretend somehtihing, make people think you bluff but do it in reality... It pleases me you like the idea. I think Dayz, just like" risk", lives on psychology. The thrill about weither someones trustworthy or not. Without this aspect, it's not as fascinating. So our main goal in any suggenstion should be to make sure it's combinable with the goal of keeping this psychological aspect. In detail, you need only TWO things to make this thrill working: 1. The possibility to interact in such a manner. Such as my confederation system i posted in this thread. 2. A reason to do so. There is no reason if you have the high-end gear and literally no goal except hunting bambis. I think I'm going to make a thread, since this is a summery of what a lot of suggestions are actually about. Think i have a couple of ideas that might fit in this system.

I recently made a suggestion in another thread, could be added to the system I agree with Uuni, high-end loot should be nearly impossible to obtain or at least very very difficult.

What about a system, where you are able to "offer confederation"? When you see someone, you can offer confederation. If he agrees, a timer starts, let's say 10 minutes. In this time you are still able to kill each other, but that would show a "fraud" somewhere in some statistics. This system would really give you an idea how trustworthy someone is. Of course, the timer/the confederation could be renewed. I used to play the boardgame risk with my friends. We usually played this "conquer the world"-mode.We offered confederation, to someone to increase the chances to win, we maybe got betrayed, but as we started confederating for a certain time and promised not to attack each other, fraud appeared rarely, as you want to be trustworthy. It is often necessary to federate with your opponent later, and he wouldn't trust you if you betrayed your partners before. See this as an example.

Awesome!

I would prefer this one http://www.natchezss.../XRTG8504B3.jpg This "triangle" would be a great help, since the arrow is not perfectly precise on the horizontal line

Good idea! Maybe not only different bolts, but bolt types (wood, carbon, aluminium) with changeable tips: (German shop, doesn't matter, look at the pictures) There are arrowheads that do open when they hit a target, would be quiet interesting: http://www.bogenspor...-100gr-3er-Pack http://www.bogenspor...-3er-Pack-100gr Or just big ones: http://www.bogenspor...-4er-Pack-100gr Or a Bodkin-head: http://www.bogenspor...erlicher-Bodkin A big tip would do huge damage, while beeing not very precise, A Bodkin would be Ultra-precise, but with regular damage An openable arrowhead would do great damage but also be very precise, since it opens only IN the body. Maybe the material of the shaft should only affect the durability, it would get too complex otherwise

Gews, you mean something similar to this? http://www.thecrossbowstore.com/HHA-Optimizer-Speed-Dial-Crossbow-Sight-Mount-p/hha-ol-sd.htm

Hi Guys! Since I'm a big fan of Crossbows and archery in general (once owned a light crossbow, and building a bow at the moment), I'd like to propose something. Because arrows fly in a ballistic curve, people invented special sights for them. Below, you see a typical crossbow-sight: As you see, for a specific Distance there is a specific line, because the arrow drops. That would allow more precise shots at greater distance. Also, that would be not very difficult to code. It should come with a fixed zoom, making the lines easier to use. Also, i would get rid of Compound crossbows (or should be rare), because they're not that useful. The idea about compounds is, that they make pulling up the string easier, but only the last ~third. They do not make the arrow faster or more precise. Since it's a game, we are all strong enough to pull a regular recurve-crossbow. Also, these recurve models seem to be more accurate when pulled without a cocking aid. The reason is, that usually one arm is stronger and therefore pulls one side of the string further upwards, resulting in decreased precision. This effect is much stronger with compound-crossbows, since the cable can change its positioin on the rolls. Another point is the whole reloading procedure. In the mod it's just wrongly done. Look how it is done in reality: A strong person could do that really fast. So the actual reloading time ist fine. (Maybe a bit fast, but just fine for a game, still plausible) I've seen a webpage from some italian guys that are really really good at crossbow archery. They show that with an upper class crossbow, good carbon arrows and a decent sight you can hit a target with the size of a CD at 80-90 meters. Of course they don't use regular 150lbs (70kg) pulling weight crossbows, more like 200-250lbs. For a strong person still pullable without cocking device. So what about making crossbows with nice telescopic sight that are able to headshot at 80-90 meters? PS: Found in a thread here a model of a middleton crossbow? These are the best crossbows at an affordable price IMHO. http://www.middletoncrossbow.com/en/ Would be happy to see one of those. PPS: Another Idea: What about explosive arrows? You would have to make them on your own, they ares easily made and extremely powerful. You could actually attach a normal handgrenade to the arrow, would still go some meters and be very powerful!!
