I never said it was easy, i was just saying maybe it wouldn't be too hard? the pathing after all? maybe increase the intervals between each time the zombie changes directions to lock on to you. I noticed they zig zag because they try to stay in a narrow path but instead of heading straight toward you, theyre a little off and they have to turn to adjust, and cant ever get it perfect. Maybe somethin to do with that, but i never said it was easy.

How about, since rocket has the skin transition already (something like that?) make a skin selection before you spawn. Slots wont determine your skin, and if you die, you can reselect your skin. So if you thinkin you can kill survivors then respawn so people wont know you, think again because you'll lose any nice items you've acquired b4 killing anybody. And as for determining 'bandits' people can just describe what theyre wearing. And since theyre would be many variations of skins, that shouldnt be too hard to determine who from who. This would also add a more unique player rpg instead of everyone having pmc uniforms. And easier to determine who youre friends are just by asking them what theyre wearing!

maybe a code can fix it? if a code causes it im sure it should be fixable, but im not a scripter or anything so idk. if its not possible then that sucks ):

yay :D i hope they can fix the zombie pathing :/ shouldnt be too hard?

scrap em, selectable skins would be better. in real life, you cant determine a killer just by what theyre wearing. this is supposed to be a zombie apocalypse, not a game where you hunt guys with masks

If its possible, i think it would be better if zombies ran straight towards you instead of doing all types of crazy zig zags. I'd rather have them run towards me in a line so i can have a better shot without them spontaneously twitching left and right causing my shots to miss at the most crucial times. As for zombies sprint speed, they should be like 10% quicker than ours, and they should get tired too so its fair. Then there should be zombies who dont sprint, they just run or jog like how we run without double tapping w. They should be random, so some zombies sprint, some run, then theres the monkey zombies lol The good thing with this is even if the zombies reach you, which they will if they run straight ahead instead of zig zagging and randomly stopping at random points, they will eventually have to stop when they attack, giving you a chance to gain some distance an take a shot. Really want this in ):

Yeah' date=' and die like a martyr. What would the "Don't Shoot" button change versus the salute? The [i']gentlemen of DayZ would still shoot you either way. read what i said like 3-4 posts above this one. use dont shoot, get shot, shooter turns to bandit instantly (drop humanity) when you use dont shoot, weapon is down like the thumbnail on the first post, and u cant use it for a set period of time also, dont shoot macro would go instantly, since the pose transition is simple, from raised weapon, just press macro, weapon instantly lowers, hand over face + "im friendly, dont shoot!" is said on chat + voice

then get shot?

maybe even make it so if you use the dont shoot macro, and they shoot you, automatic bandit :), and when you use the dont shoot macro, your gun isnt useable for maybe 10 seconds?

TL;DR : cargo, sleep to survive, select your skins for preferable looks, savior system for true hostile/friendly determination bases for awesomeness and rally points + protection, cargo for moving objects and placing them into vehicles for transport this game needs base building, cargo system (ability to store items into vehicles, move objects around and place, etc.) maybe a sleep system, gota have sleep to survive As for the bandit system, i think humanity should deduct by kills rather than damage inflicted on fellow survivors. And everyone gets 1 kill b4 the 2nd turns them into a bandit. Once that kill is used up, no matter if you go from bandit and back to survivor in your lifespan, you cant have that 1 free kill unless you get killed first. OR since the game engine can verify who killed who, and which projectile hits who, maybe a code or something could be made so that if someone shoots at you, your humanity goes up, shooter goes down. if you manage to kill your attacker, this will be self defense, and the points you gained will be refuned. If someone else saves you on the other hand (survivor) the points you lost goes to the savior. As for skins, there should be a variety of bandit AND survivor skins. Since apparently rocket has gotten the skin transition to work perfect, maybe he can make like a model/skin selection hud. Bandits being any opfor/hostile uniform, survivor can be civilian skins to blufor uniforms like marines or army (maybe others like navy or airforce if theres a model/skin pack or something) Would be nice to see some variety rather than seeing everyone wearing private military uniforms. P.S. The textures are really bad with the PMC models, not everyone will buy the full versions of BAF or PMC, so vanilla skins or OA skins would be nice ): i like high res skins/models :/ AND FINALLY, SLEEP. Ability to sleep to replish stamina and blood, also slow down the hunger/thirst process. While in sleep you cannot change weapons or do anything basically, and moving will cancel sleep. Logging off should put your character in a sleep state in the data base, so when your offline, your gettin dat rest :) THIS ALSO ALLOWS everyone to play in servers :) Lets say no where is safe for you and you need sleep or you will die, only way is to log off. This allows other players to join the server (since servers are mostly full 24/7 cuz DAYZ IS SO AWESOME) forgot base building build bases somewhere in the inland areas for safety and storage. maybe that dynamic bases somewhere in the forums where theres a door and you can enter your base thats like 100km up into the sky but its nice and safe (if you havent heard of it, look on the suggestions for dynamic shelter or something) AND ADD PASSWORD PROTECTION That would make dynamic shelters perfect but another way for base building is to scavenge for materials like barricades and bunkers. Then vehicles come into play where you can store the objects into vehicles to move them place to place, (If you played dynamic zombie sandbox modified by TAW with cargo system, youll know what i mean.)

this game needs base building, cargo system (ability to store items into vehicles, move objects around and place, etc.) maybe a sleep system, gota have sleep to survive

Sooo.. are we getting a proper list of changes on this new build? or are you guys just going to keep talking about choppers? P.S. Choppers just kinda ruin the survival, i mean 1 chopper is fine, but itd have to be crappy and low on fuel. What we need are bikes and civ cars (a very few amount, and make em crappy)

Hey DayZ team, do you guys think you could make an addon enabled server? I kinda wanna use some mods such as ACE and SMK Animations. Also proper mods that lets me change the color of my interface and crosshair, etc. What I'm saying is, I'd like to play DayZ with customizations that fit my gaming preferations. Im sure other people might want the same as i do! But if anything, could you just implement certain mods into the dayZ files? Id really like ace implemented or SMK movement/animation (look it up, its awesome) And if possible remove the ACE stamina so people don't pass out after long runs. Or maybe keep it, up to you guys! I also do like my sound mods, or maybe you guys could make a sound mod for the Day Z so everyone who downloads Day z will have the same sound mods. ***OFF TOPIC*** Just wondering, is there a deadline or date in which 1.5.5 will be released? thanks :)
