I was killed a bit like that earlier today , I was trying to bait this guy out of the plant with my M24 and someone came up behind me and popped me.

Most suggestions I see that want to encourage cooperative play are completely game breaking and unrealistic. What I am suggesting is a collection of minute changes , that don't directly affect PvP , but do slightly affect the players playstyle. 1. When you inspect a body , you get the name of survivor (checking drivers licence , ect), how long ago (s)he died (Through basic knowledge of biology, ie flies , rigor mortis , composure , temperature) as well as what killed him (bullets lodged in the victim) as well as the possible weapons that could have killed him How this would effect PvP : If a player had just killed another player , he would have to take into consideration what weapons he used. It would seem suspicious for you to find a body killed by a CZ 550 , and then come across a player wanting to team up , with a CZ 550. The killer would either have to use a different weapon to kill the player , or dump that weapon after the kill , or he could be distrusted by the player , making it harder to get a suprise attack on the player 2. When carrying a gun , the default stance is having the pistol/rifle held down. When aiming , it would be held up , but it would immediatly go down after you have stopped aiming. While prone , it could be held horizontally infront of you. How this would effect PvP : Because players with pistols always have it held up , this makes it hard to tell when the player is going to shoot. With this suggestion , you can tell when a player will shoot , as the only reason they would hold their gun up is to shoot. 3. If you are near a player , you will have a mousewheel option to investigate him. When investigated , it will tell you if he had fired a weapon within the last 15 minutes (thanks to The Power Nap for that one) and if he had killed any zombies or players close range (blood splatter marks , would be removed with cloth change as well , wouldn't tell you if it was zombie or human). As well as this , you can remove blood stains with a 1 minute animation at a water source. How this would effect PvP : Good and investigative survivors will be able to check out other players , and see if they are lying about their story , or have a history of violence. For example , A is walking along when he finds B , who says he has just spawned , and went into a town. He denies killing any zombies or players , but when investigated it reveals he had several kills , and at least 1 firefight. A walks away , as he distrusts B , who's intent was to trick and kill him. -------------------------- Please provide constructive critisism on any of my ideas. Feel free to suggest more that could be put up here. Also , I understand that this doesn't really encourage Co-op play , but it does discourage rampant PvP , making players more cautious of going into PvP , as it is more of a challenge to be a bandit , and therefor as a side effect , making Co-op the preferable option. Yes , I know that these don't fix the PvP problem forever , and I also know that it is a big request , with not much effect in the end.

The suggestions do those things in the most subtle , non intrusive , and non gamebreaking ways possible. It's easy to force limitations on the player , but it's the worst option , what I'm suggesting is that we make the players change their own limitations , out of their own free will. Little changes like these make players change their behaviour , if these changes were implemented I would hope that they affect the players like say , the coastal spawn makes players cautious of the beach and seaside towns , or how players avoid open areas as they are at risk of being silouhetted against the sky.

Blood regen : Yes , under certain circumstances , for example you are fully fed. Customisation : Yes , unless it would cause too much server strain Gear : Yep , this seems a decent idea Civilisation : NOPE , putting friendlies that you can always trust takes away from the game Currency : The trading players can already do ingame is good enough , this isn't fallout where you have had centuries to build up some kind of money system Events : Depends , but like above I would like to see wondering zombie hordes Grouping : Noperino , nopeity nope nope nopee

Another tactic for bandits to use ' date=' and if he can manage to pull that off , he deserves that kill with the loot. Thanks for the suggestion , I'v added it in

What I would be counting as 'biomes' would be grass/fields , woodland or forest and the city. When walking though each of those different areas , you would assume your person would collect some residue. For example , walking through a forest would possibly leave a rotting leaf stuck on the persons shoe , or a twig snagged on his clothing. A field would leave mud on his shoes , or perhaps even some leftover cowpat , from walking through a town or a road you would have scuffs on your shoes , or perhaps some dust from the uncleaned streets. And to your former suggestion , I do agree on that one. As a comprimise , we could have light pistol (Makarov , M9 , G17) heavy pistol (M1911 , Revolver) Light rifles (lee enfield, perhaps some of the automatic weapons) heavy rifles (CZ 550 , M107 , M24 , the snipers ect) , shotguns (All types) as well as explosives (grenades , grenade launcher , M136) zombie attack and unknown causes (hunger or thirst , falling a distance ,ect)

I got onto a server with no zombies, because the server needed a restart , and I was in Elektro. I went into the supermarket and some guy shot at me , so i returned fire over the aisles and killed him. He had an Alice backpack with 6 bloodpacks, an AK-74 Kobra with 5 mags , a revolver with 5 clips , enough food and water to last me 3 or 4 days , a lot of medical supplies , and binos , compass , map , gps , NVG , hunting knife , hatchet , matches ect ect. Basically everything. I went outside and got sniped by some guy on the hospital. Well done me :3
