    Premium loot -- A balanced proposal to "gearing up"

    I'd rather the high grade weapons and just all items just spawn randomly, all over the country side/towns. A certain amount per every few days or something. Maybe 2 M4's on the whole map. One could be lying in a field, one could be in a deer stand. next time they spawn it would be completely different. Encourages you to actually search everything to survive.
  2. I never have trouble with Fill bottle. I just scroll the mouse wheel and it appears. I wish the ability to bring the axe up after pressing space bar was removed. You can't hit anything with it that way. Instead it should be lowered when space is pressed so you can see better

    Identification Cards

    I think it would be a pretty cool idea if everyone started out with an ID card. It wouldn't be mandatory to fill out. it wouldn't take inventory space, but it would be viewable by other players only after you die (and it can't be taken as an item) Let's say that in the settings menu, you had a few lines to put on the card: Name: Country: Notes: Again, you wouldn't have to fill it out, but I think it would be an interesting way to find out who it was that you just killed or whose stumbled upon, and make it easier to track people into the forums here if you are looking for them without giving everyone's steam name away. Sort of gives a slight backstory to that body that you are looking at..making it a little more human. I'd imagine when the outbreak first happened, people would have been quarantined and given ID cards for tracking etc. I know you can do this with pen and paper, but I like to leave other notes on my body for the eventual time that someone kills me and finds my body. Thoughts?

    Identification Cards

    binders also sounds good to me. about dropping them - that is why I suggest the cards being optional since you wouldn't have to write anything. No need to discard, if you don't fill it out it will appear blank. maybe with a status symbol of (ruined) or (illegible) also, P&P is working again :)

    Firestations

    Which is why every building in the game should have a chance to spawn weapons...just at a lesser %

    marking friendlies

    I don't disagree with this completely. In real life, you would be able to identify people you know better (not counting their face) because of the way they move and body shapes, or are dressed. since clothing is limited and all body sizes and animations are the same, it is very unrealistic (not that much can be done about it). So I am not against a simple, low key way to identify friends, at least at close range. But it shouldn't be something too obvious.

    Clothing Pockets (Separate the inventory slots!)

    Perfect idea. Would be even better if we had this and could rotate items. Also, we need to have to option to left click and select a box and drag everything to a certain pocket/bag.

    Fists are overpowered

    The biggest problem is how fast you can move and strafe back and forth, especially with your fists out. You shouldn't be able to sidestep a mosin at close range, fists or no fists.

    Fists are overpowered

    I think that perhaps it would be better to not necessarily make the fists weaker (because sometimes they are awful) but to drastically reduce the punching speed.

    Play dead

    I've been thinking this for a while. I'd like to see it in game.

    wire cutters and cutting fences

    I like this idea.
  12. Definitely not. Especially the way that any time you try to hit something in a house somehow you end up hitting a wall anyway. No thanks.
  13. My cousin and I saw you and we talked. We parted ways, my cousin warned you about an armed fellow running the way you were heading. We decided were going to give you an extra weapon so I called you to come back. You were being chased by a zombie so my cousin went to kill the zombie and accidentally hit you. We took out the zombie, and you were unconscious. I went through your bag and found saline, and he tried to use the defib on you. He said it said you were revived, but you disappeared right after it happened. I was going to saline you if that didn't work but you were gone. Hope you didn't die. We waited around for about 10 minutes to see if you would suddenly appear but you didn't. Sorry about the axing, hopefully you recovered.
  14. I agree. Oh well. Figured I'd post about it just in case. In the small chance he sees it, I'd rather he not be turned to the darkside of bandithood.

    Sound of Flies round dead bodies.

    I miss it. There would be more flies in a situation where society breaks down like this, so I think it is realistic and fitting.
  16. I'd agree with that but it said he was unconscious. He was also talking to us. If he died, I don't think his body would have disappeared 2 minutes after it happened :(

    Items you'd like to see on DayZ

    IEDs Pitchfork as a melee weapon. Something like this:

    More weird/supernatural stuff

    I loved in the mod how long zombie and player bodies stayed..with the flies buzzing. was great atmosphere.

    Skip those buildings

    That is why I wish all loot spawns were completely random. Weapons shouldn't always spawn in certain places. There should be a set amount of each object that spawns on a server at a given time, and they are placed in random locations. Fields, houses, etc. Of course certain places have a less chance of getting better loot and weapons, but it would still give a reason to actually search buildings.
  20. MagneticToast

    Personal Opinion.

    To me this is the biggest problem with the game so far. Even if the server crashes or my game crashes and I am no where near where a zombie would be, somehow I log in while I am being attacked and bleeding all over the place.

    The Anti-Server hopping.

    Well when I join servers (pre patch, haven't played yet) my character often loads in during a black screen, which I can't see or do anything but am always able to get attacked. Especially if the server resets or my computer crashes. I shouldn't be punished for that. The game should not load your character in phyiscally until you are able to move and see. It should keep a black screen on you so you can't see other players as the map loads either. period.

    server restarting alot

    My buddy killed an admin on a server, and he restarted it right after so that he could not die. ha
  23. MagneticToast

    Sick of the M4.

    I really don't want to see Military weapons/gear disappear from the game. It should be rare but should be present.
  24. MagneticToast

    The gun problem (and the solution)

    Gun spawns should be everywhere and anywhere...but far less frequent. They should spawn in houses they currently don't. It shouldn't be - oh all guns are are at airfield, gotta go there.
  25. MagneticToast

    Waterbottles/Canteens + Scopes

    You should be able to fill your waterbottle with any liquid, poison included. Imagine getting shot by a bandit, and he comes up looking to drink out of your canteen but doesn't have any purification tablets...does he drink it? or empty it? Is it poisoned, or just water? I think this would add a cool element. Also, you should be able to use scopes as makeshift binocs if you don't have them equipped to a gun. If you find a hunting scope you shouldn't have to wait to have a rifle to put it on to look through it.
