jona (DayZ)

I understand what your saying but i dont think if you want to commit suicide it shouldn't be hit a button in the menu you should go find a gun or a axe and hit/shoot your self in the head with it and also break your own limbs. Reason i sugesst this is because firstly rocket has stated he doesnt want to force the player to do stuff in a linear path he wants the player to do what they want. Now what if that player wants to breaks his arms and legs for whatever reason and i can think of a few he should. The player should be able to do what other players can do to the player!

There shouldn't be a suicide button on the menu because like you said whiny fuckers can kill themselves if they dont get a spawn they want. For self harm to work you would need a weapon first so you would probably need to travel 3km to find one because you wont start of with a weapon like the mod. Also your missing the point of why not give the player the options in this controllability of there weapon? If there was a real appolcyse people would blow there brains out and it could be a immersive feature in the game and could help with the role playing part that some people like when they get kidnapped etc.

I think they should add every weapon in the world into dayz =)

Imagine seeing a bear at your campsite raiding the food in there because hes hungry.

Any suggestions to the op?

The only way i can see teaming up working and encouraging people not to kill on sight if the game was alot harder and if there is a bigger reward for pve. Lastly if you grouped up with people then they cant kill with friendly fire so you have there 100% trust. This ofc would never work in dayz so even if standalone comes out it's still gonna be kill on sight unless you meet nice people.

Reason why! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k80j4_hwU6E Lol never knew so many people hated this weapon but its very reliable watch this a fps russia vid of the weapon in real life but this gun would combat the features in standalone reliability and durability. Ok the movie was a joke i linked =P. But people say its too overpowerd your playing on a 225 km2 map not some arena style cod map. The likleliness of encountering some one with it is very slim if its a very rare weapon, Remove HE rounds and its just slugs and buckshot at 300 rpm 32, 20 or even 8 round magazine and its not very accruate the max effictive range would be like 100 yards tops. But imo at close range all shotguns should be a force not to be reckoned and should be dominant in citeis. SA is haveing a new health system and wouldn't be the AA-12 everybody hates in arma2. But the use of the gun in dayz is not to constantly kill players what your used to in cod or bf. But to help you surive you would have a very reliably weapon wich is water proof and is very durable. That being said it would be a perfect zombie killer in a tight pinch and i would enjoy this weapon being in the game for end game content if the rarity of the weapon is controlled.

Box trapping and bird snares.

Well i dont think the time limit on death and the not being able to loot your body would serve no purpose. Because the time limit every one would hate it and if people paid for there own server and have busy lifes and can only play a few hours a week it wouldn't work out. Not being able to loot your body wouldn't make much sense because you could just get a friend to loot it for you and give you the items. The way to combat this is to have the player spawn further away from the dead body and have a time limit on dead bodies like maybe 30-60 mins before they despawn. Lastly make the game harder so you need more supplies before you think of ventureing out and recovering your stuff.

Hi your OP was very good i think it should make itself into the game but im no game dev :) For ideas for hunting well you pretty much covered everything for players useing hunting equipment. Why dont you suggeset on how you can use animals to help you hunt like dog hunting and falaconary maybe. Mention some of the tools/items that you would need like if your dog was hunting boar it could use this speical type of vest for your dog to protect it from the boars tusks and maybe gun shots. Also list some species of animals and fish that you can hunt heres a few for you from my topic wich is more about the animals then hunting. http://dayzmod.com/forum/index.php?/topic/127772-animals-can-learn-how-to-survive-a-bear-attackclever-animalsecosystemselective-breedinghunting/ Species list Eurasain brown bear Eurasain wolf Eurasain Elk (looks like a moose) Red deer (looks like american elk) Roe deer Red fox Badger Eurasain lynx Wild Boar Brown hare Europeon rabbit Eurasain beaver (affect to land scape trees falling down) Rats&mouse (species doesnt matter too small to tell difference) Stouts or polecats (players can domesticate and use it to catch rabbits/hares) Owls egales hawks falcons ducks pigeon goose chickens cows/bulls horses dogs fish

I could see this working but only as a tool to what features that are put in Dayz SA. Like kidnapping people and tieing them up with rope, or if you wanted to catch animals and put them in cages etc. Also it could be a good challenge in the game against players aswell like you need to carry a antiodte with you incase a tranquilizer dart hits you. Also why not darts covered in dirty water to give the other player cloera and spread a infection maybe?

Ok so say if gore and dismemberment was in dayz. Would you think somebody blowing your arm off with a AS50 then have your mate collect your arm and sew it back on with a needle and sitches be a good feature in dayz? This feature would stop 1 hiting with anti material rifles and isntead lose limbs. Butcheirng animals and humans for meat would also come from this feature. Say your mates legs have been blowed off kill another survior and steal his legs to sew back onto your mate aswell? http://www.thesun.co...ew-back-on.html

Facts Most bears are apex predators, or the top of the food chain in their habitat, they rarely have to hunt and can simply steal meat from other animals. For example Grizzly bears hunt deer, elk, moose and bison regularly, along with fish like salmon and trout. When meat is not available, they prefer to eat wild beans, nuts, grass and tubers. They also love insects, and many get up to half their yearly calories from moths alone. Although bears rarely attack humans, bear attacks are often fatal due to the size and immense strength of bears. As with dogs, predatory intent is not necessary; territorial disputes and protection of cubs can result in death by bear attack. Truly man-eating bears are uncommon but are known to occur when the animals are diseased or natural prey is scarce, often leading bears to attack and eat anything they are able to kill. In July 2008, dozens of starving bears killed two geologists working at a salmon hatchery in kamchatka. After the partially eaten remains of the two workers were discovered, authorities responded by sending out a team of snipers to hunt down the bears.[ As a rule, brown bears seldom attack humans on sight, and usually avoid people. They are however unpredictable in temperament, and will attack if they are surprised or feel threatened. Ok my intent on suggesting bears in the game was not to have some crapy ai from red dead or farcry3 on how those animals behave and that there was progmramed just to kill the player. I suggested realistic behaviours so when you play dayz you dont have animals instantly trying to kill you but have them as a challenge because there trying to survive aswell like you and i when we play the game. Now animal behaviour could change with hunger for predators and diease for all species. Heres a link of this Moose being aggresive due to a diease http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XBxzR3b24Kc

Yes but i think nearly every suggestion made should be in SA lol give the players the tools i say!

You should be able to pick up the body aswell so if you wanted to go further into the distance with the body and you can have your pistol out. But if you just want to move the body quickly away from the road the drag body animation is faster then picking up the body. And the pick up body could be used aswell to carry people who you have tied up with rope up also people who have broken legs or have been knocked out.
