I'm sure he was trying to be helpful but I do hate useless posts like this one ... Too many forums topics the search bar doesn't always find lawl.... Anyways I would love mirrors for this purpose but mostly so if you raid a house a mirror that's already there could give away the position of somebody hiding around a corner If they forgot to break it ? Kind of the same idea but it uses mirrors in a way tht you wouldn't even have to touch them

Ya this seems like a great idea but when you put into dayzs play style ... Trust is one of the key concepts in this game ... If we knew we could trust everyone on the server there would be no pvp so in other words people would join a game press p see if the players are generally hostile or friendly and leave depending on their opinion of friendlys / hostiles so although it sucks not knowing people's allegiance , it's more of a thrill ride tryin to figure it out in my opinion . And I never was for achievements so unless it was like a "survive 10 days and receive some real money" (lol) , I honestly wouldn't try to get the achievements .

At first I agreed , but after playing the game for months I've seen that every decision YOU make puts you closer to death ... If you are low on loot go loot Cherno but you know someone is going to be lurking around .... Low on food ? Run into the field and see if you can kill that cow before someone snipes you ... It's all based on decision , although I do share the O.Ps opinion , cuz in the way tht this is a sandbox game it gives all the little angry kids a reason to shoot first and ask questions later , it's a shitty environment for a game especially if the game has barely any servers that are 24/7 daytime that aren't always full up . So I see where he's going with this and personally anyone who seems to be afraid of having to deal with negative reprocussions for KOS should feel guilty cuz this is a survival game , i realize in the movies people always shoot first and ask questions later but in real life woul you really be killing everyone you see if you wanted to repopulate the earth lol? But that being said I have to agree with the guy that said software won't be able to judge , because unfortunately it's true , even if someone waved to us and he received a positive action bonus for that he could immediately kill you to even himself back to neutral .... I think people just need to respect others and try to approach everyone as friendly but ALWAYS stay paranoid of them until you can really trust them .

Id say to decrease military spawns just a bit .... They should be rare but not so rare that a dedicated "3 hour a day " player couldn't find one military weapon in a week ... I mean in real life our first goal isn't to go get armed with military weapons , it could take months to acquire such an armory of weapons in a real apocalypse . That being said I think the loot balance is a bit trickier than "decrease loot or increase Loot" the system so far works just needs to be decreased just a bit(maybe with other factors playing into it too), and maybe when barricading and building player made structures comes in all the people eho play 24/7 with badass guns won't seem so tough anymore cuz some people will have fortified castles and shit , that should even the playing field out a bit cuz as we all know we all don't have time to be searching forever for a weapon considering any weapon can kill, people are just picky

Yes they are working on some over the shoulder dragging system I heard, so it won't be like in the mod if what I'm hearing is correct ,it will be more like when a badass army soldier picks up his wounded mate haha.

I really like this idea , we all know we need SOMETHING to make it so people dont kos all the time.

Yes I've always wanted this , we have to admit the dayz mod zombies look pathetic , not scary at all , I realize their not supposed to be "undead" by dean rockets interpretation of zombies but the leper idea woul explain why they would fall apart ... Love the idea of fighting a horde and after their all dead a hanging zombie drops from the rafters of the ceiling and kills the new guy hahah ;)

Yea we defly don't need this , I love playing first person servers and their already available , just find two servers to be your main servers, one to be 1st one to be 1st/3rd person

We definitely need this eventually. Personally I wanna see barricades integrated in first :). But a mod that makes the chernarus world look really post-apocalyptic is Dayz Aftermath, it's a great mod and they added a whole bunch of new structures Including a large factory at the end of kamenka, a large city at kamenka, and a ton of military blockades / cleansing centers throughout the shore, both with holding cells ,fields of weed that you can harvest medical marijuana at and poppy seed fields so you can craft your own anti biotic ( dunno if poppy seed is in real antibiotics but whatever haha). Also in Aftermath large structures at novy sobor and balota were added that truly look like player created outposts without looking messy like Origins , the mod also has searchable containers everywhere which would be a great idea for dayz, not to mention the great building system , not many servers available though ,its an underrated mod .

Could be a bitch to code especially as we have punching already...I think we need more use of the left a and maybe punching combos , classic one twos and maybe a jab or uppercut for some more fluidity in unarmed melee battle ? Eventually if the engine rocket writes for the final game suites it is love to see people sweep kicking and jump kicking and shit but for now I think we need more fluid punches :). Maybe a stomp for killing people on the ground or zombies who are crawling ?

Yea dude ever heard of a norther viper ? In all the woods of Russia apparently a problem for hunters. Also there are rat snakes like in New Mexico (believe it or not ) grass snakes which I'm sure aren't dangerous but also pit vipers eho live in southern siberia areas ,which are plenty venomous .

Haha no don't listen to these heads , games that we pay for deserve some type of way to play alone or practice if you really can't do that with others on. LAN should defly be supported which would basically be single player , if its truly that much to add it to the game id say go without but if it can make it in time for beta release or something I'd defly opt for LAN .

I love pretty much all these ideas, and to make it so cars could destroy barricades lets say they can only break wood barricades , and only large trucks could do this, the truck would then be half broken or maybe you'd need some reinforced homemade ram on the front of a certain heavy truck and they'd be a bitch to make so people don't go wrecking everyone's walls for fun... But like in the mod aftermath ( really fun mod btw very underrated) people make airlocks, they build two gates and link them With walls so the attackers need to breach multiple walls . I also really like the snake idea , you could see them slitherin around in the grass maybe even moving the bushes .generators I've always wanted for dayz , it's the ultimate survival tool we modern people love to have in apocalypse scenarios , we can use it for heat and light , and being able to build light post/ street lights with scrap metal would then enable you to inhabit a city better instead of having torches or flares all over town at night . We definitely need more features in this game that make people feel like they don't need to kos , and a least having a well barricaded house or town or whatever would keep you protected , creating an environment that if you have a base you can feel at peace, and if you didn't you would at least play nice until you got into someone else's base or build your own , or else you'd die on the outside .

So we all know it was a terrible idea being able to be a zombie after dying because of the dayz mod , but instead of just respawning or becoming a zombie after death I think it would be a great idea if your body , after dying, would turn into a zombie and slowly roam away . That way it would be a challenge to find your loot after dying , seeing as you wouldn't really get a second chance to go get your loot , this evens it out a bit . The zombie would leave a trail of visible blood behind ( only visible to whomever's body it is ) and when you find the zed that was formerly you , it would be the exact same person in zombie form and you'd have to kill him (you?) like any other zombie and after you kill you get your loot back . Lemme know what you guys think and your suggestions on this idea .

That is just awesome . I hope the physics engine will be a bigger project in this game I wanna see more things explode like this , but even better with glass breaking and buildings collapsing. But ill take that down the road cuz id rather have working servers and more zombies / loot variety first but it's a good thought for down the road

I can see how this guys got no info for any of his sources but he's right in a way ..... It's our money supporting this game we should get the best out of it now that were not limited by arma 2 , but at the same time he's still basing it off of arma 2.5 if what I'm hearing lately is correct , so it's harder to get awesome physics in this game but IMO it's necessary , think of if we had a better physics system , we could barricade houses windows and doors alike to keep the zeds from coming in but wih physics it becomes more realistic with the zombies being able to break said barricades , which is what every zombie movie includes : barricading some safe shelter at some point in the apocalyptic journey . No matter how much you run in a zombie world you will eventually have to settle down which barricades would be perfect for the job , they would just have to be constantly up kept or guarded so no zeds break them

Would love to see this , personally I think it shoul be barricades goes , like if you have some wood and nails you can make a barricade over a window or door and of course zombies and bandits alike can hit it till it breaks so that people who barricade a whole house won't be invincible of course but I think this or barricades NEEDS to be in a game like this cuz when the shit hits the fan it's a basic instinct to find somewhere comfortable and fortify It , I'm surprised we haven seen a dayz mod that includes fortifying windows / doors already

It's ruff though , rage virus infected have got to be the worst in all of zombie media , their not truly as scary as the undead zombie depiction , just think about it if all of us are immune to this virus why is it even around anymore ? Shouldn't we have found a cure considering almost everyone in Russia is immune haha? Poking holes in theories aside this doesn't add any type of experience system leveling or skill system so I personally don't know what the King Kong kid is talking about ... Oh well time to suggest more ideas that long standing dayz mod players won't like ;)

No it's a very good idea , te reason why dayz got boring is cuz they tried ideas like this but unfortunately it's not realistic enough and ends up just being another broken loot spawn or just another broken static vehicle , but this idea makes it so people good and bad alike will be racing towards the loot /downed helicopter , either to rob loot or to see what happened in general , bringing heroes and bandits together to a scenario that's a little more scripted than just some kos fest is Cherno ,this will add excitement , and if It were up to me I'd say the pilot and other passengers on the plane / helicopter should turn into zeds as soon as someone finds it so it can be more challenging then just finding it

Should definitely have searchable everything , anything that can be opened or searched like cupboards fridges lockers freezers closets etc etc should be able to be opened , and searched that way searching a house would take 20 mins each . This way clans won't storm through the entire continent cycling the crap out of it and it makes it much more realistic , also every room would be open in every house to add for more searching ;)

Yea it's a bad idea for this game , when you get used to the coast it'll be much easier losing loot no matter how much you have cuz it can all be found again in an hour or two If you know where to go .

Ahh yes I forgot about the uniqueness of day z's explanation of the zombie virus ... I wish they were traditionally undead zombies , this would be a fun idea to hunt your own corpse haha

Haha no it wouldn't kill you , and lets not stray from the issue this is a survival game , eating and drinking is an essential mechanic in this game cuz like everyone has said it honestly gives people something to do other than kill eachother . Although some kill just for food and drink , as would real bandits in an apocalypse , but it truly adds authenticity and is much more enjoyable when you get past the frustration of basically life in a video game .

I just recently downloaded dayz and wanted to check out dayz i44 but it seems to be dead ? Any one know servers that work and are populated ?
