exomonkeyman replied to Forest_of_Trauma's topic in General Discussion
Good video. when you said Revenge axe kill there as about 7-8mins to get through first. Other than that good video just a little slow for me. Also post in the gallery not here http://forums.dayzgame.com/index.php?/forum/81-gallery/ -

THE DAYZ WISH LIST (From the Community to the Devs)

First off. Walkie Talkie sounds stupid so I'm going to call them Radios. CAUTION THIS IS NOT FOR THE FAINT OF HEART Here is my radio idea and concept. So me myself I'd find it very useful to have radios to communicate in this game. Not many people would use them cause Skype and teamspeak3 is actually a thing but I.d find them super useful. I'd always look for them and keep a free slot for at least 2. So when I meet someone nice I can give him one so we can keep in touch at all times. How will I talk to my team with them? Simple. Direct communication: will talk to anyone near you Radio com: a new chat channel will do the same but it will also activate the radio so you can talk to your team mate or your team mates as more than one radio can all be on the same channel. How will they be on my character? Now this is the cool part. The radio will take 2 slot spaces up and can be put in your hand and then will only work if you get the radio is out or you can drag it over the character and you can clip it on your T-shirt, TAC vest, jumper ect ect that will allow you to use the radio at all times. Make your character look really cool help character development and will also help show if people are potentially in a crew of people. People could wait to see if anyone is talking on the radio. Where will I find them? Military camps, Houses, barns, barracks, airfields they can be found almost anywhere but there not super common but they are far from a rare spawn item. They can be found under beds chairs almost anywhere where radios can fit or stand. Anything els? Yes they will be battery powered however the battery can last at MAX 12-24 hours. So how will the radios actually communicate with each other? Now this another hard implimentation. Here are my ideas. 1.The radios can communicate via channel. So you can select either channels 1 to 10 some radio channels might even already be oqupied by other radios. You could listen in on there chat. 2. You get 2 radio in your inventory you right click on one and select make prime radio. Will now have a symbol at the top saying A-1. You can now drag the second radio over that one and now that radio will have A-2 above it showing that A is the radio type and the number showing what radio it is. So if you have like 6 different radios going off you can get radios called H-1 and H-2 so no one can tap into your radio unless they get hold of the prime radio also when you goto Radio com chat it will say now talking in Radio Com H-1 ect ect Why radios so badly? I believe that they will create some super useful and epic moments Why I think having radios will make this game even better Will make character creation even better Will show other players that the other player probably has mates on the other end of the radio showing that he has a potencial crew Adds a level of interaction and it will be super useful for roleplay and talking to sayinf that you just seen a guy near elektro Ads for some really fun and good moments where if your mate gets killed they will take his radio and start talking into it to find your on the other end of the radio, or they handcuff him and threaten to kill him if you don't get them weapons or food. And they can do all that through the radio they stole from him It could also be used a distress signal in need of help. Right click your radio and click SOS and it could start doing a ringing sound effect to other radio com's in the area. Or it just be a way set up a trap. Radio must have the following! Clippable on all clothing and they must be seen on your character Easy chat channels Must have radio style noises when the radio is activated. I.E bleep and a quick static sound that must heard from all players around near you to prove its a radio going off. When your mate talks to you through the radio it must be hearable to anyone near you like if it was a real player. So people can hear your radio if there close just like how direct chat works Other ideas for radios Std radio 1,000m range distance "Comes in Blue\Black" smallish size Police radio. 2,500m range distance "comes in black" big police like radio mediumish antena Military Radio 3,500m range distance "comes in army green\woodland colour/spray" big military radio big antena This idea is possible I'm almost certain its what they did in arma 2 takistan life mod with the police. Sounds http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P9mc-TXP4qs I really hope rocket/devs could consider the idea. Thanks so much if you read through this SA.

Radios/Walkie Talkie Idea + (Pics)
exomonkeyman replied to exomonkeyman's topic in General Discussion
Glad you like the idea -
Tazer gun!

Hey There. Not sure if this will be upcoming feature but it would be brilliant if loot spawns were more random. Example iv'e searched the HOLE of Chernobyl every single building (Maybe i forgot 2-3 buildings) and all i found what drink food... and a weapon at the fire station. Loot spawns need to be SO SO much more random. I wanna search a house thinking that there could be a gun here or a medical supply. Maybe a really cool army coat RARE chance but a chance. I tend to just stop looking in houses now cause it's always the same stuff every time, never a chance of ammo or a clip under the bed. or on the wardrobe. Any one else get me here? If you want any sort of good loot. It's still firstation/barracks/airfield, your not gonna just get lucky and suddenly get a pistol in a house.

I don't like NPC hostile/friendly characters. NPC trader yea there ok. Personally NPC ruin the experience. Most people you will see will prob just be NPC'sNPC can have stupid aimYou will never know when your actually going against NPC's or actual players.Being killed by an NPC can make you feel like you just got cheatedNot a fan of them myself
-
I think punching needs to be just a bit weaker. It can fell stronger than a weapon in my opinion.
-
I guess not M4's and military loot. Seems maybe just a bit to crazy however if there was some sort of military loot it would be like 2 houses out of 300. Super hard spawn. In a zombie apocalypse ANYTHING could have been left has people scatted in fear. The house owner could have been a military sergeant or what ever and had a woodland hunting jacket.
-
Yea maybe not army gear. But i chance of having some extra loot to spawn. Cause when you go in civ building you know it WILL be food/cosmetics and that's it. Just never a chance of anything els.

Radios/Walkie Talkie Idea + (Pics)
exomonkeyman replied to exomonkeyman's topic in General Discussion
Radio station idea seem really cool idea/implementation. Good to get some ear buds and start listening to some radio or tunes, then a zombie will lunge at me break the ear buds ill be F$£%! HACKING AT A TREE SAYING "F$&%ING ZOMBIE FREAKS! But no seriously add earbuds/headphones that would be amazing, you could get the jump on some guy if it looked like there he was listening to music. Or maybe you could hear a SUPER faint sound of some music. -

exomonkeyman replied to exomonkeyman's topic in General Discussion
Really awesome idea. I really like the idea of NPC radios. There could actually do random calls where an NPC would say "We got supply's at NWAirField" or "We gotta chopper down near cherno" More people would have radios then n_n -
I hate being hit by a zombie. then i have to go through every single item to find it's ruined... it needs to be nerfed a bit.

I'd find it so scary to just hear a random voice on the other end of the radio O.O -

So was just playing DayZ was having fun. Saw these two guys. Shot at 1 bullets did nothing. Shot at the other guy. about 4-7 bullets in him. He seemed fine. And these guys characters where just like not rendering in... i see them suddenly pop in out of no where. Next thing i knew this random player came out of no where with no gear tried punching me and i got headshot... that was it. Kinda feel cheated :L
