"A fanmade conversion, if that name didn't make it obvious, because a professional mod would have run the name by a marketing department, then the marketing department would have punched him in the stomach, but DayZ recently clocked one million players apparently so what the fuck do I know about marketing?" - Ben "Yahtzee" Croshaw, 2012

OK, i used it as a joke, but just now I died on experimental for slowly dropping down a ledge and jump down a distance not bigger than my body heigh and died instantly.... A max. 1.80m fall kills you? Really?

Yeah, getting kinda sick to watch everyone running around in full military equipment...

Jump from a building.

Say, would it be possible to make arrows from sticks and stone (or just a stick you make sharp) you would be able to shoot with the bow? Maybe they would lose accuracy faster than professional made arrows, but would they work? 8Basicly you fire a sharped stick

1: Make caned food rare. Finding canned food should be a reason to celebrate. Make players actually feel like they fight for survival. The biggest part of food should be hunting and picking apples/mushrooms. even in a village that hasnt ben looted yet it should be rare to actually find enough food. Maybe a bag of rice here, some caned food there. make people work for food, search for animals and hunt or search the woods for eatalble mushrooms. 2: Mushrooms/eatable plants/roots. Yeah, said it in point 1, create collectable mushrooms, eatable plants and roots, they are a good and realistic source of food. 3: Guns and ammo: The most used weapon in the game should be the bow you can craft. Finding working guns should be really rare, especially outside of the military bases. Same with Ammo. having like 10 shots for your weapon should be something to be proud of. Ammo should be so rare that even bandits think twice before they shoot a Bambi just because his shirt makes some free rags. (Or they just have fun shooting people). After all, this game is not supposed to be CoD: Zombies, its supposed to be about survival. 4: Craftable Arrows: from stone and wood, you should be able to create arrows. They wouldnt be as accurate as professional made arrows, but still usefull for hunting. 5: Tents Craftable tents so groups can acually make something like a camp. They could be made from animal skins and sewing kits (for example) the more skins used the bigger the tent. Walls (wood) would also be nice. 6: Traps Mostly sound traps, like a tripping rope connected to empty cans, coudl warn you if someone comes to your camp or just be a trap in cities to alert Zombies. 7:Zombie AI: Sure thats in delevopement, but its still on my wishlist^^. Zombies who move around, can be tricked by throwing stuff etc. 8: Guns attract Zombies Yeah that ones pretty standard but still gold. Whenever you fire a gun that makes a loud noise, every Zombie in the area should be alerted. Would be another way to make people think twice about shooting. 9: Non lethal weapons. Basicly weapons to disable instead of kill. We already have things that would make good weapons: Spray cans and fire extinguishers. Both could be used to blind people and temporaly stun them. Other option wouldbe for example a stun gun. 10: custom made clothes. Basicly make your own stuff, maybe a primitive shirt made of animal skins, camouflage made by leather/clothes and leaves/Grass armband made out of rags and spry paint (great way to identify your group/friends without killing the atmosphere. A selection of spray marks (Stars, cross, numbers, skulls, animals) would also help alot with that. 11: stamina No more running for hours, let the characters get tired, lose water and food faster when they run instead of walk etc. As well as when you run alot you are out of breath and cant aim your gun good, you would shake while trying. 12: Pin notes on walls Self explained I guess. You write a note and pin it on a wall so people can find and read it. 13: More different food loots. I dont talk about MORE food loot (see point 1) but about more different kind of stuff to find. But thats purely cosmetic and low priority. 14. Growing world/bigger Server. Yeah last point on my wishlist is that the world keeps growing. That would also allow servers to host more than 40 people.

Its just a wish list, so if its planned, yay

I agree with most points, but you cant really compare a finished mod with a Standalone in Alpha. You might notice that there are not many Zombies around right now? Thats because they are still work in progress. Random agrro from the next town, Zombies run through walls... 1+2: First Zombies have to work as intended, then they can add more ways to aggro them. I am sure as soon as Zombies are working as they should, they will be more zombies in the cities and they will also agrro from loud noises. But atm this would mean that as soon as you fire a gun, Zombies would just jump through walls to your position... NO thanks... 3: The new patch brings a new big town, and sure it wont be the last. Plus... seriously, how many hours did you play? at some point you will have seen everything... 4: hunting gear, fireplace, all already on experimental. Right now we have more Items than good, but they will be toned down after Alpha, right now they want everyone to play with every gun, use every food, water, tool so they can know what works and what does not. 5. A house... dont know... tents would be better. its more realistic than random Survivors starting to build 3 floor mansions with pool...

It would make groups less unrealistic. Right now, groups are in TS and when they talk to each other, noone in the world can hear them. They could have you and talk to each other to shoot you or not and you just sit there not knowing. So Just make the micro always on so even if they talk about TS, you can hear them.

I think theres a game in Developement for you, H1Z1 from SoE. Guess its going to be casual enough for your needs, heard they even have pure PvE Servers.

Ressources should be rare. You should be happpy as hell to find a well and not just think "Sweet, now my cola can stay in my inventory longer" You should be happy to find food and not leave it cause your inventory is too full with "manly" stuff like knifes and guns. Energized should be a rare state. Ammo should be so freaking rare that you would think ten times before you pull the trigger to kill another Bambie for fun. You shouldnt be able to choose guns, finding a gun at all should be a reason to celebrate. I like this game but it has waaaaay too much loot, if they dont change it after Alpha, its gonna kill every survival feeling other than "better dont get killed by other players who are just assholes cause they clearly dont have to kill you for loot" I mean today I walked into a random house in a small village and found 3 cans of food, 2 sodas and an apple... Survival feeling? 404 not found!

The point is, a healthy human can at least see a bit at night, at least silouettes. In DayZ, you basicly turn blind at night. I could as well turn my monitor off and I would see just as much. I am happy that its worked on, but until then, night is unplayable. You see it alone on the fact that once night hits, even a full populated 40 man server suddendly drops to 3 or 4 players.

Just that flashlights basicly make you a big neon sign for every Sniper...

Maybe you could deactivate night until its finished, cause right now the only option at night is to log on another server that has no nighttime. I see what you try to do with night, but right now, you cant even see whats in your way at night when you cant move on when you dont have a flashlight on.

No you shouldnt have save spots for your gear simply because it would make death even less meaningless. You play a survivor with one life, once you die, you play a new guy. Just going to your safe spot and get your loot back is bad.

In Germany, they are making currywurst in vacuum glasses...

Kill Bambies for free rags We both have guns... friendly? Backpack, Food, Water, Weapon... Dead...

Good, maybe some of the "DayZ never updates, you are all fools to belive they actually work on it" people can shut up now... Are Arrows reuseable? Lets say you shoot someone with an Arrow, can you pull it out of the corpse?

Solar charger at a backpack! Now we can use electric deviced in game.

The game already supports licking on batteries, it doesnt need to support drug abuse too...

Does "placeholder" say anything to you?

Do I have to install some extra stuff? Or do I have to get an extra permission somewhere, need to get unlocked for the servers or something?

Thank you. Sry, I am pretty new here

Thats basicly like a "noobs only" Server in other games. It just translates to "I want easy kills"

They shouldnt have released the Alpha for open game... Seriously, I wouldnt wo9nder if all this "Game not finished, gg, game sucks, alpha is no excuse" bullshit ends up with making them just quit it. Honestly, I wouldnt stand up with all this shit, I would have long locked out everyone! I am really impressed that they are capable of taking so much abuse from the very people they make this game for. These people must have the patience of saints... And seriously, the only thing that bothers me about Zombies is that they walk through walls. I actually like that they aggro total random and sometimes come out of nowhere. It makes them feel more (un)alive.
