Just a little though i had one night while playing DayZ. What if there was like just 1 big zombie horde per server that just walks from one side of the map to the other, starting from the North making its way south or north west to south east? Maybe its starts from a random north point and is influenced by the closest noise to its position and is directed that way and that keeps happening until all of the zombies in the horde have been killed? (until server restart and then there's another one by default) Sort of like 'The Walking Dead' Season 2 last episode where the farm is overrun by a horde from Atlantic City which was influenced by a helicopter and starting walking in that direction until they hit the farm. I think it can potentially help make airfields a lot harder to get to and obtain the military loot. Im not saying zombies are hard, they are more of an 'annoyance' at the moment (more dangerous after the 0.44 patch) but in a huge number then its a big challenge. I think it would also help encourage some player friendliness and teaming up if they start to move further north due to the fact that if you're alone when you come across the horde, then you may not have a chance to survive. Picture it now, the horde making it down to cherno apartment area and a group of people hiding upstairs fighting for their lives. That's what DayZ is right there, thats a challenge... not just a random bandit killing fresh spawns on the coast all the time. I'd like to hear opinions on this, a good and simple add to the gaming experience of DayZ(; (ATTACHED FILE: An image from 'The Walking Dead' TV Show of a large horde. Not meaning it should be as large as this one because i dont think a whole server of people and maybe the server itself could handle it, but scaled down so it's still LARGE where it can influence player friendliness and maybe make having VEHICLES more worth while in the game when they are released.) "EDIT- I WANT A PERSONAL OPINION/FEEDBACK ON THE SUGGESTION FROM ROCKET HIMSELF SO LET HIM KNOW ;DDD"

Thanks for the replies guys; @BigMike- I assumed it had been mentioned before,just didn't see a post so just reminding everyone of the idea is a good excuse? ;D hahaha i know wishful thinking ;3 @Skyelur- You could imagine it right now.. running you're a** off across fields with +50 zombies, maybe using a walkie to talk to some randomer in a car/heli (when released) for a quick pick up. That would be a youtube clip worth watching(; @DMentMan- Hahaa and you replied 20 times "i want hordes" ;D

I've never gotten a one hit crossbow kill on anyone before :P its first destroy all chest clothing and then another that kills. Usually get a broken leg when shoot them im the leg which is okay. They had a walking/running animation in the dayz alpha before it was released for early access if anyone saw it, they limped sort of like they did on fallout if leg was 'crippled'. I think it SHOULD be in the game if shot by crossbow especially, i guess with bullets as well. (1.53 seconds onwards)

I wrote earlier about ww2 weapons being in the game due to the selling of the weapons in communist states etc. so i suppose maybe some ww2 relics could be found around the map aswell like the odd wermacht helmet or ww2 trenchcoat. OOOOH that would be a good one ;P http://www.lostworldsinc.com/Vintage_Trench_Coat.htm Or maybe something like this; http://bombonem.com/2012/11/13/fashion-bomb-bomber-jacket/ Or parkers? http://www.aliexpress.com/item/Men-Hooded-Parka-Coat-Jacket-Hoodie-Faux-Fur-Winter-Warm-Outerwear-Black-Khaki/1345593478.html If they maybe implemented snow into the weather system as well then these could have better bonuses towards the weather? (Note: Sorry for the weird links, i just did a google search for the pictures :D )

Yes i agree it is not yet needed untill the damage is implemented. Well putting it on the outside could just be an 'option' to use, aswell as maybe the ziplock bags, plastic shopping bags and bin bags etc. Putting a plastic bag OVER the backpack is a good idea, the downside would be the lack of camouflage obviously but maybe the plastic bags will be easier to find so you would use them first over other things as you have them there and then?

Love it >.< Just want to say dean i thank you for destroying my social life because i am IN LOVE with his game..... thank god my girlfriend is too so i get to play as much as i want ;D Keep it up man, you really are making my perfect idea of a zombie survival game without stupid mutants etc. just pure 'walking dead' i suppose i could put it BUT its not, it's DayZ :3 Much love <3

As i posted in a different thread; "I am more for the World War 2 weapons in the game, due to the fact that after the end of the war LOTS of weapons and ammo etc was sold throughout Russia, current Czech Republic & Slovakia, Poland ETC. in the communist states at that time(so Russian occupied), so i'm thinking a few Russian & German WW2 weapons to be in the game, and easier to find than a modern day RPK or something if included. Maybe rarely found in a pristine state so need maintenance and sometimes unreliable - missfires/jamming." But i'd like to add there are still A LOT of ww2 weapons still out there that people possess, my girlfriends dads uncle (i know) ww2 collects weapons in Slovakia for a living aswell as authentic ww2 relics, uniforms etc. which in them countries was a lot easier to obtain back in them days. So i vote yes :P Besides its a game, i think WW2 german & russian weapons should be included.

i was thinking something like this after Dean mentioned rain will have different effects on items on body and inside backpacks. I really like the idea, maybe having the yellow protective cases already do something or some form of little waterproof/plasitc pack that is like the yellow protective case but can only protect against wet areas. Maybe use plastic shopping bags that are found in places??? Also could maybe include 'waterproof backpacks' themselves with the waterproof properties but extremely rare? (military areas?) so will have to stick to shopping bags to put items in to protect against rain which go in backpack(:

I there would be soo much potential what horses could bring. You've got the obvious transport, but the slower speed compared to cars, but quieter than cars. If you're creating bikes then horses slightly faster than bikes. But like it was said above, the caring aspect to it like you will have to care for your car as dean stated in his most recent dev blog; but not feed it metallic parts obviously ;3 Also find horse riding gear like saddle which may enhance speed slightly or storage on the horse. Maybe being able to 'save' it in a certain place by tie-ing it to objects so stays after restarts - downside other people can untie and take it. But if barrier building is brought into the game then you can keep it in your own lil' base or something? Also killing if you're hungry as said above to implement the hunting/cooking that will be introduced(: Maybe falling off and getting shot off will work well with the ragdoll that will be introduced into the future? Also someone mentioned above if it will be supported, i dont know much about the engine at all but im sure its possible to add what you want into it as long as its created properly? O.o I dont know but arma 3 supports dinosaur mods ;P (granted its not perfect ;D ) Anyways its something id love to see in the game to add to the authenticity of the game and it will neutralize the 'Walking Simulator' slightly with benefits but also at a cost of the time for horse equipment hunts and caring as well as noise. Dayz SA is quite a quiet game when you think about it so hearing a horse neighing in the distance aswell as hooves on the road making a loud enough noise to be heard a bit of a distance. Juuuuuuuust a suggestion ;D
