I am going to cut the foreplay and get right into it! 1. Optional End-Game :: You find a boat... Repair it... Then once you get in the boat the game asks if you would like to visit the next island. By accepting you are taken to a different DayZ map/server with all your stuff you had on Chernarus. After all the possible maps are visited you receive a rank next to your name that shows you have reached end-game and adds on for however many times you have successfully beat the game. You keep your stuff even though you beat it and continue surviving. SUGGESTION 1 EDIT :: Instead of a gui pestering you, all you have to do is go 5km out into the ocean and you are automatically taken to the next map where you must go another 5km to reach land. Things are more realistic that way and you also still have to worry about nourishing your person if you get hungry along the journey. 2. Custom Skins/Masks :: Arma 2 already had this so everyone knows it already. 3. Hardcore :: Once you reach the end game you are asked if you would like to play hardcore... Hardcore is deathban and if you choose to play hardcore you get banned for the amount of time you have been surviving if you die. Clicking "YES" allows you to still keep your stuff and if your heli/boat/car is still in mint condition you may still travel between islands and you also get special clothes ( they don't give you an advantage they just look badass ) so people know that not only did you survive through all maps but you had big enough balls to click "Yes" when asked for hardcore. The clothes carry over on death and you still keep them.

Step One :: Get a friend willing to break his own leg Step Two :: Get a heli. Step Three :: Pick someone up. Step Four :: Discuss an easter egg in the middle of the ocean that gets you badass gear. Step Five :: Tell your friend to get out of the heli Step Six :: Mention that it requires to players and tell the other guy to get out of the heli. Step Seven :: Your friend commits suicide and the poor guy in the ocean is left there... Not able to suicide. I'd never do this to someone but I am sure some sadistic bandits out there may enjoy this.

And not only that but depending on how fast you were going when you hit the bambi blood splatters on the windshield or something and you have to clean it off the windshield and disinfect it if it's a zombie's blood.

Since we can't really see a player's name in standalone how about one of those "Hello My Name Is" stickers instead... You should be able to choose whatever name you want for the name tag even if it is taken. Like this: Of course they should be optional meaning in the loot tables and not something you spawn with, and they spawn in school buildings. Viewing People's Journals :: Now of course journals are a private thing and people should not be viewing it without your permission, but if you do want to show someone it you scroll on them and select "Show journal" and then when you hit "j" a symbol shows up on your journal for one minute asking if you want to see their journal.

No nothing that is collectible from other players. That would give bandits 1000 more reasons to kill. As for the profanities it'd be better to give players more wide options in character customization than restricting them to their own name. Like TIC321 said, you could put your clan tag on it which would be the most ideal thing. If anyone was friendly enough to care about your name you could easily do it in direct chat...

I hate being chased by zombies, completely unarmed but there is a perfectly good winchester on the ground that I can't pickup because if I do the zombies will eat me. I also hate being held up and being told to drop my weapon and as I am dropping my weapon the piece of shit shoots me. Here's the solution... If you are crouched you can press the action button near the gun quickly grabbing it and running at the same time or any other item. Depending on the item's size the chance of missing it or not being able to pick it up is larger if it is small, while if it is larger the chance is higher. And if you are being held up you press the hotkey for the gun that quickly tosses it on the ground... But only use it if you are in a hurry because there is a chance of the weapon being damaged. One other suggestion :: Lowering weapons whilst being proned. Instead of looking amazingly threatening, proned on the ground with your gun being pointed around if you take your finger off the raise wep hotkey ( thats been mentioned in standalone ) the gun then flat on the ground Sort of like this :: | ,}<---gun | | \O/ | | / \ | | If that illustration is too hard to read then picture the animation you get whilst crawling, now picture it frozen and that's how you will look proned with your gun lowered.

Late but I for one LOVE that idea ;D

I just pictured a midget running through the corn fields, naked, and being chased by 100 zeds.

Same goes for kids in full grown man skins... They should really make carl grimes skins for teens on this because that just destroys immersion when I see a full grown adult with the voice of a 10 year old....

Considering the attention KoS's decapitation thread got it is likely the devs at least looked at and thought of it.

Philosophy of KoS, Elektro Boss under surface man is animal I know we make our self separate from nature but we still animal ;) nature give us instinct of predator is what put us top of food chain society doing good job to train us and make this animal tame most time not every time, prisons are full with guys who don't get tame ;) stop society stop taming of man, man going back to predator in no time, same like cat born in forest no human to make tame :rolleyes: is fantasy think all humans try living side by side happy family carebear time no murder no rape no violence we have all this shit happen now with punish system and police take away this, watch animal return and put also crazy guys and psychopaths we have orgy of murder and death for sure some gangs exist now, they are killers no remorse, have leader, have guns, have territory, have loyalty you think they don't start to control resources and take best womans for them??? add to this convict murder rapist guys escaping from prisons you think they don't kill all man who is threat after apocalypse ;) all you pussy guys saying 'KoS is bad for dayz, is not like real life things, please stop to shoot on us' :huh: same guys saying dayz don't need pvP, you talking coward bullshits :D you guys pray to the god who isn't there 'please no apocalypse' because you have big shock coming :o we are bandits, we come in many shape some rob some kill on sight some do other way our play style represent those guys, the killers who EXIST, the gangs who EXIST the humans who society don't tame we are the wild humans and we make dayz REAL horror game experience for you is OK, no thanks is need for us we doing for pure fun :thumbsup: :ph34r:

I can definitely see the game lose some buys from the PVP minded gamers... And I suspect there might actually be survival and teamwork during the SA... If not those handcuffs are definitely going to cause some pretty badass stories.

Now :: Wow I lost complete interest in SA. The Future :: OMG SA IS OUT!!! AHHHHH!!! I GREW MY NECKBEARD OUT JUST FOR THIS OCCASION!

FTFY :)

That's a bad way to go about it.. Then seeing 10 heads would not be as scary because you know an entire clan had to do it... Seeing 10 heads without that kind of context is just frightening... Here's my idea :: Maybe the head is like a pet or something and you have to feed it and shit. Nah that's stupid as hell but interacting with the head somehow would let the server be able to pick out the heads that are just there between the heads that someone actually is trying to keep.. Like maybe you have to scare crows off of the heads and the server detects if crows are still on the head before restart and if they are, the head is removed upon restart. But that does still sound like a chore to do especially for travelers without vehicles... Maybe after an entire day the heads disappear if they aren't tended to from crows... Also being able to plant the heads on cars would be badass.

Put their staked heads on sniper hill "Turn the fuck around"

Minecraft has it as well ironically... Which is supposed to be a kid friendly game...

While that would create a realistic apocalyptic atmosphere, that would never be added because if it did DayZ would get banned faster than you can say "feminists".

The point is to show scavengers that they are in the bad lands and should tread lightly. I can picture it now... Just traveling in through the wilderness and seeing 20 stakes with bandit heads on them and a spray painted wall that says "Survivors welcome, bandits fuck off" and it is like a trading post or something where survivors trade and such and bandits would never go near it unless they are looking for trouble.

I got killed by a hacker... I showed the admins the video and they thought it was valid proof HOWEVER they said they can't do anything because they don't know the name to the hacker.. Wtf? So basically the server is defenseless against hackers. But that may not be entirely true... See as soon as I said that I was killed by a hacker and had footage to prove so this guy whom we will call "Cockjuggler" got on my case about it... He instantly flamed me and belittled me for hackusating. He kept bugging me for evidence which I eventually got uploaded as you can tell, and he got all involved in the case and he wasn't even an admin so I will just go and assume he's begging the admins to not ban. He kept going into support channels on TS I had a discussion with an admin (SMILEY IS ME): <01:29:08> "Smiley": I have a video I would like to discuss with you regarding a potential hacker <01:29:16> "Grim[Admin]": Listen <01:29:17> "Grim[Admin]": I saw it <01:29:29> "Smiley": I got shot from outside first, right? 2. Then I run in still getting shot at. 3. I get in the stairway... SHot at. I hear no movement and see no one up stairs so that scratches that off. 4. I run back into the main part of firehouse and die. <01:29:46> "Grim[Admin]": I saw it <01:29:46> "Smiley": How could you explain that? <01:29:48> "Grim[Admin]": but you didn't give names ( This server doesn't show names so it's not like I would have been able to say "Hey hacker tell me your name so I can get you banned from this server" ) <01:30:15> "Smiley": I know admins can see the name of someone who killed someone <01:30:27> "Grim[Admin]": We cant <01:30:29> "Grim[Admin]": we dont have logs <01:30:52> "Smiley": But it as at least valid evidence if I were to have had that person's name, right? <01:32:12> "Grim[Admin]": Yes <01:33:51> Chat partner has closed the conversation <01:34:07> "Smiley": See here's the thing I take issue with... Why can't you see deathlogs? <01:34:14> "Grim[Admin]": Because im not the owner <01:34:15> "Grim[Admin]": ROFL <01:34:16> "Smiley": That's complete proof against hackers <01:34:25> "Smiley": And the ability to not see it just seems absurd <01:35:01> "Smiley": Personally I am not a server owner but if I were to get... Say.. A professional opinion on how servers work <01:35:10> "Smiley": What would taht do <01:35:10> Chat partner has closed the conversation ( Admin Goes Into My Channel And Yells At Me For Spamming Him Saying They Can't Do Anything About It ) <01:36:33> "Smiley": Hey well maybe if you guys took me seriously 2 hours ago when I posted the video before restart <01:36:38> "Smiley": Maybe you would have caught the hacker <01:43:27> "Smiley": I also got a pitch for you... Why was JAYSON so involved in this hacker case? He kept going into support channels and he seemed so interested into the hacking case. It's because he's sucking your dicks off and you don't want to ban him? That's a stretch but the evidence is there. Sorry bro evidence talks. <01:43:38> "Grim[Admin]": Jayson doesn't cheat <01:43:42> "Grim[Admin]": turn your mic on <01:43:44> "Grim[Admin]": and take off away <01:43:46> "Grim[Admin]": so I can talk to you <01:44:03> "Smiley": Well unfortunately mic input is broken so I can't really use a mic <------- I said this only to keep the conversation in chat so I could screencap anything the admin said. <01:44:10> "Grim[Admin]": ROFL <01:44:12> "Grim[Admin]": excuses <01:44:15> "Smiley": Ok... <01:44:19> "Smiley": Yeah I guess <01:44:22> "Grim[Admin]": Do me a favour <01:44:23> "Smiley": Why are you belittling me? <01:44:29> "Grim[Admin]": before you bitch at some of the servers biggest supporters <01:44:31> "Grim[Admin]": and the admin <-----------------------Dude told me earlier he wasn't an admin. <01:44:33> "Smiley": Are you supposed to be a admin? <01:44:34> "Smiley": Oooh <01:44:35> "Grim[Admin]": I am an admin <01:44:38> "Grim[Admin]": Jayson is a donator <01:44:38> "Smiley": That makes sense <01:44:43> "Grim[Admin]": he does not cheat <01:44:48> "Grim[Admin]": he also does not have op donor perks <01:44:50> "Grim[Admin]": he is a good player <01:44:52> "Grim[Admin]": you got outplayed <01:44:53> "Grim[Admin]": enough said <01:44:57> "Grim[Admin]": no more comments on the matter please and thanks <01:45:00> "Smiley": Ok thanks <01:45:02> "Smiley": Good info <01:45:16> "Grim[Admin]": there's a reason we have anticheat <01:45:21> "Grim[Admin]": if you cheat you get caught <01:45:33> "Grim[Admin]": In your video, you ran into a hacker, who is most likely banned <01:45:37> "Grim[Admin]": but you were also a bambi <01:46:40> "Smiley": Admin see here's the thing. I got compelling evidence that JAYSON is probably in your inner circle and him being a donor and all so you have to protect him and keep him a satisfied customer. Look I get that... But come on admin if he's hacking you got to at least direct him the other way <01:47:00> "Smiley": And I don't see how me being a bambi makes my argument less valid <01:47:03> "Grim[Admin]": No <01:47:05> "Grim[Admin]": You're retarded <01:47:10> "Grim[Admin]": If he actually cheated <01:47:14> "Grim[Admin]": We'd take his donor perks <01:47:40> "Smiley": see admin I cant take your word for that. <01:47:55> "Grim[Admin]": I can just ban you and not deal with you anymore <01:47:57> "Grim[Admin]": BEcause you're annoying <01:48:14> "Smiley": Well you can do that I don't have any further plans on playing on your server, you'd be happy to know. <01:48:17> "Smiley": But let me talk first <01:49:20> "Smiley": See JAYSON was up my ass about that hacking case. He was insulting me and belittling me in every way possible... Just for me saying I had evidence against a hacker... Not even pointing a finger at him he started to just bash me in every angle he could. [ I was banned before I could finish ] If you think I actually spent time on writing all that down for the sake of a professional opinion I will screen cap it tomorrow... TL;DR : Admin defends a hacking donor on his server.

How you can get past getting past this :: Go to a server that doesn't have a respawn button.

I am the OP... But honestly the engine wouldn't be able to support larger maps so that's why I mentioned teleportation. It could be improved like instead of having a GUI annoy you each time you get into your newly repaired PBX or heli you have to drive 5km out into the ocean then you are automatically taken into the next map where you again have to drive 5km out to other map.

A few more LESS major suggestions by TheSpaztasm - 1. Tracking devices :: You can craft tracking devices using a GPS and a radio or something. This suggestion came from TheSpaztasm and I thought it needed light. Basically he suggested that you should be able to track your friends or slaves if you have a frag grenade crafted with it so if they try to remove it they blow up. And it'd also be cool if you can craft them with an arrow to shoot a passing car with it. 2. Insanity :: Like humanity but when your humanity gets far too low your player becomes monsterous and blood thirsty... Not only do you have to keep the character nourished and hydrated well but you also need to kill often, too. A side suggestion that came with it was the ability to cannibalize players. 3. Turning Into A Zombie When Infected :: When you die of infection your lifeless body turns into a zombie. An AI of course but a strong one maybe... Faster than the regular ones and maybe a one hit infection. Also a suicide option if you have a gun with ammo would be good to go with this.

You missed the point again. You don't teleport to islands... You need a fully repaired boat or heli to make the trip...

I have never heard of a stereotype like that... "Wow why all the time in MMORPGs do they allow you to travel to different places? That's so fucking stupid." - Said No One Ever In a zombie apocalypse you wouldn't just stay on an island you know is infected you would seek refuge and hope that you can find land that isn't infected by zombies. It would add so much variety to the game if you could travel from Chernarus to Namalsk keeping all your current items and stats.
