So here's the picture: You're a beginner, you just started, you're now yet another victim to the cruel DayZ world. But, unlike most beginners you prevail, you find a rifle off of a dead body of a military troop. Suddenly, a group of zombies attack you, as you gun them down with your newly found rifle. You notice a +1 in your peripheral vision. All of a sudden, a sniper round lodges in your skull, damn bandits. You die for obvious reasons. When you leave for the main menu, you notice something new. The new thing is a load-out screen, you click on it, to discover it determines what you start with when you respawn. You see something that tells you how many coins you have, you don't remember finding coins, but then you remember.... the +1 in the corner of your vision after shooting the zombie down. So now that story time is over: let me explain it. My Idea was the loadout/select screen. It is accessible in the main menu. So you select a variety of things, all fitting into your backpack limit. Coin gains: Killed Zombie = 1 coin Survive 30 minutes (ever 30 minutes) = 5 coins Kill bandit = 5 coins The basic starting stuff you automatically have is automatically equipped. (Your Default pack is the Czech chest pouch) With your coins you can buy new gear: (Every thing you buy is permanently stored in your load-out inventory, you don't have to rebuy the item every time) (You can only buy stuff to start with when you've already found it and picked it up) An extra version of an item costs the same price of the first item: EXAMPLE: You already have a bandage in your inventory (you start with one) if you want a second one you have to purchase a second one. For example let's just say you have 47 coins, a bandage cost 45 coins, you buy it. After, you now have 2 bandages when you spawn. Now you want to buy a gun: You decide you want a Makarov (Can be bought without having to be found in the world) you also want 4 clips to go with it. Costs: Makarov = 25 coins Makarov Clip = 10 coins (each) Final cost = 65 Coins So you then set yourself to spawn with the starting items, an extra bandage, and a Makarov with 4 clips. More added Below!!!! You should also be able to buy and equip to start with car parts and tools (You must have picked them up in the world in order to be able to buy them). That's my suggestion for the loadout screen. Please add it, it wold be awesome, especially with 1.7.1 out. :D
