Just a couple ideas bouncing in my head. 1. We have a cowboy hat, bandanna, repeater carbine, and revolver. My suggestion is to add to the ensemble with the following. A) A leather belt with buckle, leather holster, leather knife sheath for stag handled knife, and 20 bullet loops for revolver/repeater ammo. B) Cowboy boots that can hold either a knife like the assault boots or the derringer. With or without spurs. With would obviously be noisier. C) A pocket vest with a small holster for the derringer and a pocket chain for either the brass compass or a brass pocket watch. D) A duster coat that’s as waterproof as the firefighter jacket and with best insulation. E) A two quart round saddle canteen that can hold two plastic bottles worth of water and be worn in one of the shoulder weapon slots. F) Chaps. Two styles. Leather and “woolie”. Both in place of pants. 20 slots of space. The leather would provide medium insulation while the wool chaps would be best insulation. The wool wouldn’t loose much insulation value when wet but would get very heavy. G) Saddlebags. Sling them over your shoulder in one of the weapon slots. Both have 30 slots of space for 60 total. 2. Semi destructible environment. A) We can already cut trees and bushes down for firewood and they respawn with the server restart, so why not be able to do the same with tables and chairs? B) Combine a cutting tool with curtains to get rags. Both of these would leave evidence of a player passing for an additional way to track someone. 3. Additional shoulder slot ideas. A) Purses with 10-15 slots B) Messenger bags with 15-20 slots C) First aid bags with 25-40 slots D) Gym bags with 30 slots E) Claymore bags with 24 slots F) M16 bandolier with six pockets that will hold one 20 round magazine each or 3 slot each for a total of 18

First off, I’m on console not steam. If there’s a disclaimer on the PlayStation version, I must have missed it. Secondly, if someone does commit suicide because of any reason, it’s not laughable. That’s between them and God. I merely stated that I would like to see the option of turning off the animation. Nothing more.
-
As a parent, even though the suicide option is realistic and adds to the immersion, I’d like the see the option of a parental control off switch for the animation. Just go to the black screen. Some young people don’t need to see it.

Not sure how accurate the “only coast” thing is, I caught a carp in a pond in upper Berizino

Could use the loot tier zones

Increase fuse delay on smoke grenades
Former Echo Trooper replied to General Zod's topic in Suggestions
I’m not disagreeing with you. The throw animations definitely need fixed. -
You could use a fireman’s carry over the shoulder carry or deadman’s drag. Both would reduce your movement rate significantly. Would be a great way to move an unconscious teammate to a secure spot too.

Add the "empty bottle" sound to the water pump
Former Echo Trooper replied to Sonic1305's topic in Suggestions
Or the pump squeals until it gets primed. Then it goes to a flowing water sound and your bottle/canteen starts getting filled. Same if you’re just drinking from it. It’s loud enough to alert nearby zombies and players. -
This would be fantastic. Running around with a zombie arm like a baseball bat beating up other players with the bloody end.

Moving dayz away from arma and really making it its own game
Former Echo Trooper replied to Matthew Bower's topic in Suggestions
I like the idea of a covey of quail flushing out of the bush you’re walking through. IRL this can cause quite a jump scare. Same when a flock of turkeys are pushed off the tree they’re roosting in. As for the cracking branches, squirrels sound HUGE in the woods. -
New basic clothing patches to help avoid friendly fire
Former Echo Trooper replied to Jordi Altimira's topic in Suggestions
I like the colored duct tape idea. It’s currently in use IRL in the Ukraine/Russia war. They’re marking helmets, vests, arms (usually both) and weapons to help cut down on fratricidal accidents. When you have two armies using nearly the same uniforms and weapons that speak similar languages, duct tape helps. -
They need buffed not nerfed. Let them chew on your body after knocking you out. If you die from it, you should turn into one too with all your gear on minus anything in your hands. Then you’ll have to find your zombie self to get back your gear.

With the addition of the cutting torch, with a hammer, I’d say you could get two pieces of sheet metal. That would make sense. The top and bottom of the barrel, being round, wouldn’t “become “ square. So those would be lost in the process.

Increase fuse delay on smoke grenades
Former Echo Trooper replied to General Zod's topic in Suggestions
Unfortunately the current smoke grenades in the game are almost true to life. The fuse in a smoke grenade ignites as soon as the spoon is released. That being said, the spoon should not be released while still in your hand but at the moment of throw. That part should be corrected. -
Please add polar bears, snowshoe hares and ptarmigan grouse too. The latter two would change colors with the seasons.
