Frozen (DayZ)

most of us know what parallel universe is. so it would be cool to add some versions of Chernarus, that somehow affect game experience. technically its something like weapon mutators for Unreal Tournament, at least for those that i have in mind. to prevent exploiting and lots of whine, i suggest for each mode a separate database. 1. first and the most important is Original Chernarus - what currently game is. 2. Military Chernarus - all firearms are military grade. only military zombies. 3. Civilian Chernarus - all firearms are civilian grade.only civilian zombies. 4. Country Chernarus - no firearms/a little bit of civilian weaponry. main weapons are agriculture tools. only civilian zombies. i would also like to see Medieval Chernarus, but that not going to happen for sure :) from my point of view such addition will make most of people happy: you like "old school" DayZ? - Original is your choice you like fancy toys? - welcome to Military version oh, you hate military stuff? - Civilian is your choice. you completely hate firearms? - welcome yo Country.

kinda missed that. not a original engine though.

i just have to live with that,in current state of the game, survivors that you are playing are totally retarded. when ship wrecked they saved not a knife but a pretty much useless flashlight. even more they cant even use a damn knife or agriculture tools. they dont even know how to use their own fists

wont lie, i might`ve missed something.. but dafaq Fry Cry is? if you meant Far Cry... Only first one was based on Cry Engine, and of course that wasnt CryEngine 3 and it wasnt a free roam shooter either. Crysis 1 and 2 actually corridor shooters with addition of some open space. i was referring to open world games. but who cares anyway... mmorpgs? the only mmorpgs i can remember are Aion(CryEngine1) wich pretty much fail, and ArchAge which is still in beta, if i rememmber correctly. but mmorpg its a little different story, due to have server part made.

dont get me wrong, that i doubt in the engine capabilities, but all that big world wasnt showed in any game, so people like me, who dont care much about engine itself, didnt see engines capabilities.

the only reason i want this to happen is because all Crytek`s game didnt have messed up mouse controls, like arma. although i`d like to see stand alone game on engine that already showed its capabilities of creating big world in some game. and i cant remember any game with a big world based on cryengine. for instance i would like to see DayZ based on Vital engine, which was used in: Boiling Point: Road to Hell White Gold: War in Paradise Precursors

but they dont bash trough the doors here, they open them, and that means they can use all of their fingers, which lead to possibility of using basic melee weapons.

zombies in dayz can: swim open doors climb ladder and bunch of paranormal shit but they cant use a basic melee weapons? seems legit. since they are infected humans, its not a surprise that part of them can still wield a melee weapon. perhaps something one-handed like a wooden plank or a piece of pipe

i still cant get why blood transfusion? there is no limitation irl that prevents you to make it on your own. would be more logical if fixing bones was

any logical explanation behind that system?

a like idea of different type of zombies, but lets not get into mutations and other shit. region bound zombies seem also a bit dumb, you know, migration etc., but why not make zombie types dependent on possible shapes of human body? for example: 1 thin zombie - speed high. hp - low. damage low. 2 tough zombie - speed - medium. hp medium. damage - high 3 fat zombie - speed low. hp - high.damage - low-high. fat ppl can have some muscles 4 sportsman zombie - speed high. hp - medium. damage - high. + add variable behavior, and we have solid bestiary. note. hp represent quantity body shots, that zombie cant take before death

it would be interesting to make crafting the only source of military "end game" weapons. find parts, and assembly it using toolbox(finally some use for it), but you have a chance to break them, if you dont have a proper manual.

uhuh... and i`m a talking cactus.

something like that would be awesome

i`d like to see PvE servers, but the game by itself doesnt have enough challenge for PvE only server. lets face it: a new player after 10-15 death understands how to snek and avoid zombies, just gets some tools, weapons and food. then he goes to military base and gets best weapons for him. and what next? obvious - shoot players. why? because the is no challenge: zombies spawns only in towns and etc. which is boring, ofc you can agrro a whole city and shoot, but they will respawn very soon. so you even wont notice what you did, except wasted ammo. and this will gets boring too. if there was some PvE content: deadlier zombies, more zombie spawn areas. random horde invasion, some npc interactions like civilian rescue and/or evac etc. then we would talk about PvE servers,

i might`ve missed this some where, but will it be possible to restrict connection to the server, if files on server and client side doesnt match(incorrect version or corrupted data)?

there are private server, that not connected to the hive that have what you ask. but i still partially agree with you: i`d like to see data about character`s location stored to the server.

i understand finding anti material rifle in military base: they had some in their possession before apocalypse. but finding this in a heli crash site, seems dumb. why would some take this in a heli that goes to area invaded by zombies to drop supplies/evac civilians? taking assault rifle, machine gun, shotgun or even sniper rifle(NOT AMR) seems more logical, even explosives makes more sense. real properties, huh? guns do have other properties then damage: weight, recoil, noise, size. it would be fun to watch people with AMR`s when weight(with affected handling of weapon by it) will be implemented.

this experiment seems to be failed, cuz all humans will just kill each other(gamers are bad test subjects) not a zombie survival? wtf zombies are doing here then?

running with huge 13kg rifle seems fine. being able to shoot it and still stand seems fine. LOUD noise also doesnt attract shitloads of zombies also seems fine. so i dont know why all complains about

do want

The suggestion below probably will be impossible to achieve correctly before game become standalone or ARMA 3 mod. Rocket said that DayZ was inspired by Dead Island and something alse that i cant remember :) Why not make it more melee based? 1. fix melee weapons(that crap that in game right now its not a melee) 2. add more weapons: knife, wooden plank, steel pipe, pitchfork, spade etc, 3. add stun and knockdown effects to melle, especially to blunt one 4. greatly reduce amount of firearms and ammo, especially military grade(AK and M4/16 in fire station, seriously?) of course ppl. that tied to firearme(tss dont say c&k words) will whine about such changes, so suggestion #4 probably should be turned in to mode of the mod/game(who knows when it happens?) with separate database.

almost no guns and lots melee "weapons" is actually realistic scenario. why? because there is no official back story, and thus it could be a country with peaceful citizens, that dont have guns so common. and it also seems that Chernarus is agricultural country, and thus agricultural tools should pretty common. i also doubt that most of this forum can kill a person even with a gun. but here killing is common. 30 rounds semi auto? what is that gun? guns with such mag capacity usually have full auto mode zed here are still humans(biologically but not by state of mind), but they are driven mad, and in most cases they run towards you mindlessly, and with axe(or something similar) you can easily knock them down with one precise hit, and chop(smash) their head off. knife ist better that nothing, and against an armed person raise chances greatly and noone was talking about cutting horde with an axe. even in tight corridor, cuz in real scenario they will just zerg you. but against one zed it rise your chances close to 100%

pretty much yes. i`m not asking to do it right now, but when it become possible. and such change will fit the game just fine.

how about scythe?
