Great idea mang never thought about this as barricades ...

Latest experimental patch feathers a new light particle that makes the gas lamps actually look like they are lighting up the area , I tried one a while back and it didnt give off any light at all really , but the flashlight should always be on after being turned on and dropped so that's weird .. I wish they would add more light sources , maybe like solar powered spotlights for when day/night cycle and barricades come in ??

Yes we definitely need to spruce the map up , at least after all these server , zombie and loot problems are done . Maybe some waterfalls if any are native to this type of area, or just unique stuff (natural or artificial)as the O.P has said . This way people won't be asking for another map to be made .

Yes defly a great idea , just for down the road when they figure out the clunky ness of changing items and stuff .

Found this lil guy sneaking around the outskirts of the woods, i believe near Khelm. I was following him a lot longer than i recorded which made me start to wonder if the devs have improved the aggro of the zombies ? For at least a minute i trailed behind it, waiting for the unfair zombies sixth sense to kick inthat were akk used to it never did. THIS would be ideal for a zombie aggro rate: as you can see as long as i'm hidden from sight and not making too much noise zombie did not attract to me. i would hope sometime soon this system could work for ALL zombies , prompting stealth instead of taking out the entire city with the fireaxe , you would take out solo zombies and sneak by larger groups =D Sorry for brightness and lack of editing , only first 15 seconds are important

Yea this is a great idea , totally necessary for at least when the game comes out to beta or full release , if not now . Woof woof .

They should spawn nothing at all , but maybe just be more spruced up with dead bodies as if people were up there and succumbed to the virus and were killed after turning. Or just some random static objects to suggest a camp was there. I love the natural beauty of the devils castle area but I feel like plenty of people would head to a castle in the woods during a zombie apocalypse (as long as it wasn't crumbling). Simply since they're always built tactically on hills and the interior (courtyards) are very open , not to mention the interior rooms are stable (in the case of the devils castle, not much room but enough for a fire and sleeping bag ) so a small group of survivors could live there .

I really like this idea and sadly never even thought about it myself haha , I've been trapped so many times in police stations (airstrip building) and apartments in electro where one of these tactics could have come in handy . Not to mention it would just be fun to do all the time haha .

Ya name of the game is confusion haha , some people don't bother but I like to do this from time to time . loot an apartment , close the door and if you're a bandit you could wait inside for someone trying to find loot , if you're neutral then At least you've wasted someone else's time who could have found you looting a building down the street if it hadnt been for that one apartment building door you closed (as said before people judge if a place has been looted by open closed doors , so if you close all doors you've looted already , people will be distracted looting your empty houses while your off looting the rest of the town). Can't wait for experimental to go stable , love dayz , hate people who have nothing good to say on the forums !!( you know who you are haha)

There is no "clear" answer to when bugs can be fixed , it's all about what the bug entails and simple fact is the dayz team doesn't all work on bugs , considering this is a pre-alpha game any right minded person would assume that there are other things to work on than bugs (like progress c'mon people ) some work on bugs and most work on the future of the game. Please everybody complaining , either get the premise of a pre-alpha game or get out (and please don't use dayz's long wait for alpha as an excuse as to why devs should be moving faster ). You've all paid for the game and beforehand were warned how it will go down ,bugs and slow progress and all , so if you don't like the progress , go outside get some exercise (or to the gym if you got 2 ft of snow like me ) and come back to the game in a month.

Happens to me too fucking often lol , ladder defly need a revamping , no it's not a "game breaker" but it is very annoying especially at the rate it seems to get people . And one building that is almost impossible to get on top of (if you. Or the server is lagging for some reason the ladders are harder to get up ) is the apartment buildings above balota , legit tried three times on the same laggy server to get on top of the apartments there and died because my character just wouldn't move when I got to the top , eventually making me slide off each time gaha .

I don't think we need to be going so far with this , people who don't want pvp will still choose "low" pop servers and people who want constant action will just always check "high" pop servers. To me this is a waste of time , the players list doesn't ruin my idea of immersion , nor does seeing how many players are in game beforehand . For people who don't like the "p" button to display such a thing , don't press it . If players want to be mysterious about who's In the server they are about to enter don't look at the player count , in my mind its as simple as that. Besides, having that "p" button to show player roster or bein able to see player count before entering the server doesn't hurt the ones that choose to not use it cuz fact of the matter is : you should always be on your toes , no matter if its a 10/40 server or a 40/40 sever , so that can't be an excuse as to why we should remove these two things ... ( some people argue that if we know how many survivors are on the server , we will play or act differently depending on how heavy / light the population is ). We should save the Devs man hours for something more pungent , stinky , and awesome . End dump at work .

I actually really like the dot , it helps when I'm trying to get items under beds or in hard to reach areas . Without the dot we would find ourselves tryin to center the screen a lot more often. No need to remove it considering everyone is 50/50 about this , just add an option to remove it when private hives come. but c'mon guys there's better things to discuss , this white dot is completely ignorable haha at least for me. Edit : and besides I'm pretty sure you can change your crosshair with some overlay programs out there if I'm not mistaken .,

I would love this same system implemented , maybe not in the scroll wheel (as I like that to be clutter free) but I don't know how else it could be used besides the scroll wheel menu , but they'll figure something out I'm sure the devs are on the same page as us ;).

Ooh la la daddy thought he was gonna stumble on an old horse beaten to death , but instead he gound a new twist on an old horse..the idea that zombies can break their legs sounds great to me , maybe some of them can spawn in as crawlers and the majority of them will spawn as regular zombies and after being shot / hit in the legs fall to crawling position . Although this has been talked about , your suggestion adds a twist that the zombies don't necessarily spawn in crippled , and seeing how deans image of his zombies is to still be human , that makes perfect sense .

Definitely need a more punishing system for being hit with bullets or cleaved with axes . We all know how easy it is to survive gun fights , and we are all searching for a way to balance this games kill rate/time survived ratio , so why not make it so people are AFRAID to get into a gun fight because of the terrible medical repercussions it could have . Instead of a bandit runnin through Cherno killing everything in sight thinking they're cool shit, they would be shot in the first battle , making the bandits "unrealistic killing spree" impossible if they want to survive another battle . Bullet removal is unrealistic though, most times the bullet is left inside the body because it does much more damage by removing it . so my suggestion is to make bullet hits an insta-bleed. Allso make it so your character shakes because of possible led poisoning (uncommon in most cases but c'mon if you're a bandit taking bullets everyday you damn well should be prepared for blood poisoning) and also like the OP said a "Healing time " should be implemented for more serious gun shots / melee wounds . Banditry is TOO easy in this game , lets make it a little bit harder and make them work for their meal for god sakes haha.

I like the idea of this or gunshots attracting zombies but Im kind of leaning towards gunshots to attract zombies , as all kosers(even the bad aim ones ) would be challenged by that . Good idea though should defly be implemented in the standalone mods .

Ya parkour a bit too much although I'm a fan in real life ... But I DO agree that there should be climbing mechanics , that way if you're a stranded fresh spawn you can avoid zombies by climbing trees and buildings (if they scare you that much).

Yes please , sir may I have another , sign me up , ill have what he's having , and all those other phrases . I like this gun .

Yea no safe zones or npcs please. if you do want npcs , go play origins (from dayz mod ) it has npcs, ai helicopters doing sweeps, aliens and all sorts a bullshit haha . Dayz standalone is trying to be a realistic hardcore game in which the community truly decides the fate of the world , and when dayz has all the real features it needs (barricading , hunting , cooking/fires, zombie hordes ) then the KOS will balance out (a little) trust me . cuz although most of this was in the mod it will be more dynamic in the standalone considering the immersion , hopefully entertaining people enough to keep their minds off of constant pvp (as it seemed like in dayz mod there was stuff to do but it wasn't very exciting like it should have been ) .

There should be no death cam for third person servers , and in my opinion MY death cam idea is instead of seeing a black screen when you die your character fall to the ground and slowly closes his eyes (it will always be in first person mode and it will be blurry and you won't be able to swivel your head of corse , so your head would just fall where it would normally if you died , but you at least get a little more cinematic way of dying . This way you can at least know you weren't killed by the server or game , cuz you would hear the bullet shot (maybe not for realism) or you would at least maybe have a chance at seein some bandit feet running your way so you can at least have your mind be at rest that you weren't invisible Zombie glitch killed . But honestly I don't want this for any other purpose but to have a better "you are dead" screen cuz to be honest I hate how I die and instantly the "you are dead" black screen comes up.

I just wanna say bobo the guy that said "this 100% " was AGAINST the original posters idea , not for it so get your quotes right before you make people look like fools . And yes graveyard please no zombies in dayz ? Get real I'm seriously offended lawl

Yea my idea on mods is that if they try and stray too far from what dayz standalone is about it usually turns out to be shit, dayz standalone mods are confirmed and so is player building but lets just hope it doesnt end up as messy as some of the dayz mods did (epoch origins and vanilla all had their ups and downs because they were all over the place , some had massive amounts of guns others had flying cities , for mods on the standalone we just need new maps and new skins and maybe some engine changes to allocate for new features , but the mods shouldn't try to take it too far from the dayz feel cuz it ends up turning into pvp bullshit fest.)

I'm just saying I for one believe dean rocket hall chose THE MOST boring country you could ever Have for a zombie apocalypse , and I really can't wait til the dayz standalone mods are out cuz that's where you will find these amazing landmarks . I do hope they find ways to spice up chernarus though before game launch (like the ship at berezino, and the skyscraper apartments above Cherno/balota), cuz I really would not want to run around chernarus for any more than a half a year(real time) if it looks the way it does come launch . I know a lot of us are returning dayz players, but those that see dayz standalone as their first experience , often describe the landscape as " very beautiful but void of anything aside from trees and rocks ". Thats paraphrased of course . This is troubling though , because the best experiences of a zombie apocalypse (in my opinion) are the amazing cities and landmarks (power plants , golf courses , Olympic stadiums , amusement parks , highway stretches ) of what used to be humanity , and chernarus simply won't have any of that because deans-sometimes overly annoying need for realism . I mean I'm all for realism but we all want a little more than trees and and ocean view , but with all the fps issues I highly doubt dean or his team will even consider large scale additions like this unless they are already planning on it . I'm all for more building types and more spice but it's clear that the community is die-hard about realism all over , but for me realism can die in a pit when it comes to more interesting landscape and buildings . But like I said we will just have to wait for the Dayz standalone mod for these things to happen .

Definitely a good idea , I'm sure someone will have griefs with it but I'm all for it, especially if it would put the gas mask to use and if smoke inhalation damage could be added like said above .
