Dear DayZ Community & DayZ Developer(s), I have only been playing DayZ for a couple of days now (with a couple of clan-mates, they have been playing much much longer than I) But, even though I never installed and played DayZ I have kept up with it since the beginning(just never got around to installing ARMA 2 again) So, Finally having installed ARMA 2-CO and installing the mod and playing it with my friends. and, me being such a avid survivalist fan as well as a Zombie fan. I have a couple of suggestions and would like to hear your take on it. I will bullet point each one and would like a discussion on each one if possible? Making Objective specific places: For Military Equipment(Choppers,Tanks,APC's, .50cals,ammo) in Military Bases(instead of everywhere) As well as Civilizan Sided things Supermarket for Food/batteries/etc.. Hospital for Medicine/Food/Tape/etc.. FreeTowns: Randomly generated towns with AI & Player security that are NO-FIRE zones(but, can be attacked both by players/zombies) that you can go into and buy equipment from both players camped there or AI that was sold the equipment/food/drink/etc.. Also, allowing the implamentation of a Bounty system by having a Bounty wall. (there is no prison in town. you get bad with the players you go to the wall and get taken out/killed by whoever accepts and they get the currency awarded) Currency: Maybe doing some sort of Currency or "Barter" System where say a shotgun is Worth 3 Cans of Food or 2 bottles of clean water or 1 morphine syinge. Military Vehicles: Choppers,Tanks,Armored Cars or Personel Carriers: Would go with Objective Specific Places Civiliian Vehicles: Choppers,Planes,Cars,Trucks,Boats Modifyable Vehicles: The Ability to find parts such as barbed wire and place them on the sides of your car to rip and shred both humans and zombies as you nearly miss them or, being able to put steel around windows of a car to help deflect(but only certian types of ammo/weapons) and zombies from killing you in your car. Safe Islands: Go to a island and rest from zombies. But, are attackable by boat or players to fight over. Camps or Fortresses: You can outfit with Civilian or Military equipment that you found: Fences,Barbed Wire, Electric Fences(must have a generator/fuel/technical applitude) Harder to find food/water. I think it is to easy to find food or water in our current DayZ mod. Water Pollution: Some water can make you sick if you fill your cantena with it.. Diseases: You can get bitten by zombies(which you will get turned into a AI zombie after a period of falling down,and being a burden to your group) or Diseases from contaminated water or uncooked food or cut with barbed wire(only a chance) that you can treat with anti-biotics(that may or may not cure you) Suburbs: Actual ones, not just one house and then another house 300ft from it. I mean like 50/60 houses down one street. make some enterable. Defenses: regarding #12 allow you to board up houses or lock doors or closets etc.. Horde: Make a lot more zombies travel in packs. Night is Dangerous: Make it where Chem Lights only last a little while. Fire constantly needs wood to keep it going, Rain will extinguish fire and in the dark is when zombies are most active they have heightend senses such as deaf or blind people can smell or touch or even hear better. Groups: Make groups encourageable. it takes more than one too survive. But, it can be done Lone Wolf style.. it will be just twice if not 3x as hard. Raiding: Being able to Raid FreeTowns for what you need..if you can kill the AI or the Players that protect it Fire: Make it so that you can burn zombies or players or trees or houses or fortresses, and that players or zombies will be hurt if they stay in a burning house or camp(depending on how close the fire is or how it spreads) Sleeping: You need to sleep every so often if you do not you will end up passing out(which you can be attacked or die by a fire) till your sleep has recovered. (can be done offline or online in a tent or laying prone somewhere and pressing the sleep button) Tents: be able to make them off the ground too or put them ontop of a car(search google). Sleeping Bags: Same with sleeping make them hold less than a tent but ability to sleep anywhere and pick it up only take up 3? 4? slots. More Diverse bags: So many bags... both for hikers,campers,military and school. Need moar! DayZ Standalone ARMA 2 or 3?: I know it is not running on those but I mean what engine is it running? this hasn't really been answered. For now this is all I can think of.. but I will medidate on this later tonight and come back tomorrow and add to the list. Let me know what you all think. Sorry for spelling too.. not really awake atm. Take Care & God Bless SuperTine
