Ok i see The thing about DayZ is that its difficulty is not based on actually surviving. Only a minimal amount of zombies in each town, with plenty of ways to get food and heat. Project zomboid is a great representation of a game where you have to survive only against the zombies. Dayz on the other hand is focused more on the player to player interactions. On video from fresh spawns, a DayZ streamer says the biggest tip isn’t how to craft stone knifes or where to find a water pumps, it’s using your voice. Being able to bluff and weasel your way out of a fight is better than aim or assault rifles. A likeable personality can save your life more times than a tactical bacon. DayZ does a great job of subtly pushing players as the biggest danger, because if you play on a private server you can make it to Tisy faster than it took me to get shot nine times on a public server. I think that yes, DayZ could be made harder and it would make the game more challenging and more hardcore. However, if you want to make it harder you shouldn’t decrease reasources. What happens then is one team finds the only full auto rifle on the server and makes a three mile radius of coastline unplayable. When you are about to leave the coast on a server with a decent amount of loot but you are hungry, you are incentivized to risk taking buckshot to the face in order to kill or rob for a baked beans. On a server with low loot, when you are hungry you will just fish or loot the outskirts, because every other person likely has nothing you want. I think that making DayZ harder or more gritty, as you said, it boils down to pushing players together. If you’ve seen the last of us, one of the core ideas is that humanity still had a chance to survive the long run, but our natural distrust and greed split up the last reminants of the military and the government. DayZ relies on playing at the players cruelty and mistrust. If you count all the times that you’ve died the last times you’ve played the game you’ll see what I mean. for example my deaths look like this: - Fell of the ATC trying to get a good angle on the plane - Bled to death as a fresh spawn - Stabbed after loosing a race to a hunting stand - Shot at the airfield - Peppered by 22 lr for a badly damaged hunting knife - Burst to the face by a geared player -Sickled to death in a fist fight - Car crash (lag) A good game leaves you smiling about the time when you got turned into Swiss cheese because you didn’t have a round in the chamber. A bad game gets deleted after you spent 3 hours getting killed by a geared player because you couldn’t find a gun. Part of making DayZ harder is focusing on the geared players. If you decrease food and bandage spawns that doesn’t effect them because they have cars and plate carriers. The way to make the game harder for the geared players is to give more fresh spawns a bk18 and a dream.

There could be sports stadiums across the map with a chance to become evacuation zones with dynamic police cars and military tents and medical supplies but otherwise be empty and have food.

Buckshot roulette should also be added

So what your suggesting is that DayZ should reduce reasources to make the game better and more challenging?

In a survival scenario when you are treading through wet environments foot fungus is a real problem. because of this, foot fungus fits the DayZ game in addition to foot fungus, players can now wear socks which reduce the chance of getting foot fungus unless they are wet. This would also be a cool new clothing item Sock types: Players would spawn with ankle socks White socks are an upgrade to ankle socks wool socks are warmer festive socks/ fuzzy socks are very warm but in bright colors soccer socks are warm dress socks are dark colored ankle socks tactical/ hunter socks are the best socks, very durable dry and warm foot fungus: reduces your players mobility, and makes them grunt in pain when walking. can be cured via constantly staying in warm dry areas, or by an anti fungal or some medication

Fair point, but I think it would still be a good addition for early game. its main point is that you find this and ij70s in the coast towns, and would get the option to choose for different playstyles. The suggested has a lot more stopping power because .45 staggers, so it would be good for taking down a geared player or defending against a zombie rush the ij on the other hand is better for stealthy approaches and snipers because you get more close range mag dump power and the option of a suppressor

CR-75 First of all, the cr-75 is an almost exact copy of the Mlock 19, but with a shorter range and worse looks I propose to change the cr-75 a little by making it closer to idea of the sg5/mp5 where vomiting attachments on it makes it still good later in the game 3 Magazines: 12 rds for coast 15 rds for tier 2 19 rds late game Attachments: Compensator/muzzle break, reduces recoil from firing Polymer grip, reduces weapon sway Attachments like these would make the cr75 a gun you carry the whole game, and would start off worse than the mlock, but with attachments rival the fx45 Compact revolver Dayz has one early game gun, the ij70, which suits a spray and pray game style. To give players another option, a compact 2x2 revolver could be added Model Suggestion: Charter Arms revolver A five shot revolver chambered in 45 acp, weighing about one pound, slightly worse than the sawn off magnum This revolver would add a second early game pistol to DayZ, and would be amazing for players who hate the ij70, and also would help hungry players who can’t hunt big game with .380

Yeah it’s kinda close but they have different purposes the sawn off in the game is mostly for players who want .357 power, but also don’t want jams or a bulky gun The revolver I’m suggesting would be more like the Ij70 or bk12, because you pick it up on the coast to defend yourself, but you’ll drop it for something better like a mlock or a deagle. ppl I’ve played with hate the ij70 because .380 is weak, so a .45 fresh spawn gun could hopefully get rid of the excuse: ”I died to a fresh spawn with a knife because .380 is too weak” ( I saw him miss every single shot and then try to go prone to hide)

I guess it could be a ten round mag then but also this is the CR75, which legally is distinct from the real life CZ75 so Bohemia could add a mag that doesn’t exist

I definently support the PKS-07 scope, but I think the 12x scope on hunting rifles only balances the game. imagine if every kitted player had DMRs and KAMs with 12x magnification. This forces players to chose wether they want a weapon with a longest viable range, or a weapon that is still good at close quarters.

Ik it’s the perfect car for stealth because it has a tiny quiet engine and can hide easily with its tiny size. Only problem is that it can’t go off road but neither can most cars in DayZ.

DayZ should add a compact car that has folding back seats but like zero storage so you have to choose your friends or loot (always choose loot) Something like the Fiat 126 would be awesome

Pike poles are used by fireman to make holes in walls and stuff, and would spawn in fire stations with stats that are better than the standard bone spear crash axes would rarely spawn in airfields and plane/helicopter wrecks, and would be a one handed melee weapon use for flexing rarity

It’s canon that some countries are still around and fighting the infection bc military helicopters are still smoking when they fall, meaning they crashed within a few days. Also, the game is set within a year of the infection because gasoline is still good, and the POX has mortars still have ammo to fire Ig if you want to be realistic you could say news helis are on scouting jobs for the military who are running out of supplies or you could change them to Red Cross helicopters with medical supplies

Recently I posted in the discord about this so I’m gonna make a post. TLDR: Add a low tier civilian news channel heli/plane crash that spawns the press vest and electronics with batteries and compact guns It makes sense that during a zombie outbreak, the most dedicated of news channels would send helicopters to report. These helicopters would likely have be given guns and handheld electronics to deal with any zombies. I think that in the lower tiers, there should be chances for survivors to find crashed helicopters for local and foreign news. Heli loot: Some loot that would make sense to be on a news heli and would help players if they found 1) Mid game weapons, like the mp5 or the bizon and shotguns. 2) the press vest and warm civilian clothing 3) Handheld electronics and batteries, maybe a new electronic like a camera 4) A radio that is part of the heli/plane should spawn, which is able to be heard on radio anywhere in the map (like a stationary field transmitter) Lore: i guess Bohemia could drop some lore using the civilian news helis, like making the western heli one from a country that is still uninfected. For the brand names you could do something like BNN: British National Network, (not copywrited by cnn) and The South Zagorian Today

Add a rare oil filter can that can be used with a blowtorch to make what rn is the bottle suppressor.

Also we need the pks-07 scope it is a eastern scope with 7x magnification for the SVD, the SV-98, the VSS, and the aks. right now there are more western scopes than eastern scopes, and the western scopes have more magnification, putting players who like Russian weapons at a disadvantage

I saw that same vid a few days ago, and it’s a cool idea the only problem is that it’s an extra step to create what would literally be the worst gun in the game. One of the most hated guns in DayZ is the MK II, which would still have 5 times more ammo than the 22 shotgun and is suppressed TLDR: Cool idea, but a two shot 22 lr weapon might actually be worse for pvp than melee

Ngl like 80% of people are “not very attractive”, or also known as normal looking. Having mostly plain/middle aged looking characters makes the game more realistic, rather than having teenage gun bunnies hopping around the apocalypse. also what are you talking about Cyril has A HUGE GYATT

Dayz should have a five-shot revolver chambered in .45 acp for fresh spawns who hate the IJ-70. The stats of this gun would be slightly worse than the sawn off magnum The model of the gun can be based off of the charter arms pit bull, and be 2x2 weighing about 1KG, and never jamming. This gun should be added because then we would have two early game pistols and two revolvers. Picture:

Days used to have most common books in the game such as Romeo and Juliet, but they were removed a while ago. I think DayZ should bring back books to the game for a few reasons 1) Books would be the ultimate flex if you collected all 145 of them, and the ultimate goal of large teams could be to collect them 2) Offices and Schools don’t have any loot specific to those types of buildings, so books could make them feel more natural than just finding a gun in an office 3) Books could be used to make a fireplace without kindling, which would be less time consuming 4) Ik having something without a purpose seems like a waste of dev time, but glasses are in dayz and they do nothing

If it helps the game regularly goes on sale for 50% off on steam.

The ada should have a chance to spawn without the worn and rusting texture because some people treat their cars well and I can’t stand looking at the mold on the bottem. Also while I’m here some tools look worn in their pristine condition, which is misleading. (cough crowbar cough)

TLDR: Lukow airfield should lose most of its military presence and permanent toxic gas
