What about adding some kind of ranks or upgraded version of achievments to the game. It would only be visual, no in-game bonuses other than maybe a cool mask. Ex. Rob 20 people without killing them - we become a Bandit, and other people can see our rank. Or if we kill more than 100 zombies we become a zombie slayer. If we kill more than 30 people on sight we become a murder. This idea is just a result of desperate thinking of a way to prevent/decrease amount of KoS

Maybe in CoD. KoS is the cancer that kills DayZ It's been stated about 100.004.143 times that zombies should become a real threat, being even more dangerous than players. All we can do now is just have faith in devs and their plans.

You all shouldn't think that there's many people in the game that do "amazing robbery without killing and then letting the victim escape" by watching videos or reading stories posted on this forum, those cool robbers are about 0.1% of DayZ players, the rest of them are just assholes who either KoS, or handcuff and then KoS just for fun. I bought Standalone yesterday and I got handcuffed twice, they wanted me to drop my shovel on the ground, I did, then they shot me in the face. The 2nd time I got handcuffed because some guy said he's gonna bloodbag me and boom, handcuffed. He only laughed and then shot me in the face. Yeah, DayZ really needs something that would add any value to player's life, other than his loot. Since it's early alpha, we should all focus on the main flaws of the basic gameplay, and then focus on adding lots of things to the gameplay, like hundreds of items, upgraded looting system, hunting, building bases and other good ideas and then focus on details and polishing the game so it's even more amazing.

I think however that if we wanna make good camps and hide our goods there devs would have to expand the map alot so our camp won't be so easy to find when there is more people on the server

I really like the idea of zombies running with different speeds and the idea of alerting the zombies in the area. For me it's a must-have for Standalone and I hope the devs will try to put that into the game. There is 0 threat from zombies by now.

This thread contains a great solution. ROCKET PLZ READ THIS !!!

This combat logger gave me cancer

Yes

I don't think they were KoS bandits, you just annoyed them and they just wanted to show that they are powerful and you shouldn't mess with them. I'd do that too :)

I think it's a little bit wrong to let food and drink spawn in almost every building on the map, if we think about real life during zombie apocalypse buldings would run out of food very quickly. I think it'd be good to decrease the chances of food and water being spawned in buildings, it should be very, very rare, almost as rare as a ghillie suit. People would have to focus alot on getting their own food from fishing, hunting, picking up natural food from forest, maybe planting. We will have fishing and hunting, but the truth is, why would anyone fish and hunt and waste 5x more time when we can just run into random building and pick up food. Maybe someone's planning on making food and water more rare in later versions, but what I'm saying is food and drinks should be like VERY rare

Why is there KoS ? I've found the final answer. It's what makes DayZ "DayZ". Our only and main objective is to collect gear. That's why we kill people, to collect gear, so the truth is that KoS is just a faster way of doing the main objective of DayZ. (inb4 DA MAIN OBJECTIVE IS TO SURVIVE NOOB NOT COLLEKT GEAR !!!111 -that's surviving) I'd really like to see DayZ as a game where your main objective isn't to collect as much gear as you can, but do SOMETHING with the help of your gear. Thank you goodbye

Hi, I've been playing TERA recently, and I find the system of stamina and campfires amazing. Here's how I see it: You gain stamina by standing or sitting near a campfire or other source of heat. By running, shooting or getting hurt you loose a little stamina. If your stamina goes below 40% you are less resistant to infection and zeds "punches" and you can get knocked down more often. To loose 50% of you stamina you would have to let's say play for 7-8 hours, stamina won't go up if you aren't in the game. I like how in TERA you set up a campfire, and it gives stamina not only to you, but to players around you + it gives you and players around some bonuses and a campfire somewhere in the woods becomes a place where people meet and maybe get into some group.

I've got a better idea for preventing combat log, it's so simple. All we have to do is force everyone to wait like 10 seconds before logging out, no matter where or if you are in combat, you have to wait 10 seconds.

I haven't played the Standalone yet, but are those tall buldings in the background behind the airfield enterable ? If yes, then then this is going to be a sniper hell

I have to say that DayZ right now is INCREDIBLY EASY. Surviving requries 0 skill, it's just picking up stuff from ground and that's it. We need to improve the gameplay

The truth is running around the map and picking up stuff from the ground gets boring after 3 seconds. So here's idea of upgrading your clothes/camos/bulletproof vest. This will add more things to do in the game, when you pick up items from the ground you can also upgrade them with different item parts so they provide more protection from cold, infection and bullets.

I would never buy Dayz for my console, I play both on PC and PS4, but just thinking about playing DayZ on a console is giving me shivers. Some games are just supposed to be played on PC and get over it.

If I buy Standalone Alpha right now do I get access to the final version of Standalone when it comes out later or do I have to pay twice for the alpha and the final version ?

Combat logging is really annoying and it's a quite big problem in DayZ. Now you can't log out when you're surrounded by zombies but you can combat log when a player is near to "fly away" from danger. This happened to me several times, I was trying to force a guy near me to turn around and run away and I won't shoot, then he combat logged runing all the fun, or I was trying to rob someone, combat log as well. So I'd like to suggest the "marking", or "targeting" system. When I see a player that is close to me, I can target him as my "target", making it unable to log out for a short period of time. If anyone of you have ever played Tibia it's like when you don't even hit somebody but you targeted him to attack but you don't really attack, he still can't log out for like 30 secs because he's still in combat.

For me these are best ideas ever :beans: :beans: :beans: :beans: :beans:

The idea is following: We can pay our real life money to get some extra stuff in DayZ, example: $5 via paypal or phone, and we get unique skins and V.I.P access (new chat only for VIPS, new cars enterable only for V.I.P.S, and in-game player title) $10 and we get a pack of extra food and water + some basic tools like toolbox. $15 and we get golden weapons that have +15% less recoil and we get our own in-game tag and so on, also we get some extra stats like +5 of the movement speed, we are hungry less often and we are more resistant to zombies. I think this is a must-have in incoming Standalone. Every game that has this system is successful, ex. look at BF3, one of the best selling and best games ever made, with bilions of people playing it all around the world.

Your post in this thread are crap, sniping is a big part of the game, at least for now. And calling me a poor widdle KOS'er is retarded and childish since I never KOS in situations other than sniping, and sniping is something that always will be there as long as there are sniper rifles in the game, because I can't imagine running through towns with M24 as a weapon. So right know you are a person who got raped by some KOS'ers and is butthurt.

DrScandalous +1 Very nice trade, everything went smooth and quickly

I will give L85A2 RIS Holo, a very rare and cool weapon for ghillie suit. Post in this thread if you are interested
