Footsteps The idea of this topice is very simple and short: Add footsteps in the game. All the creatures in the game will leave footsteps behid, so you can track and find them by following their footsteps. Answers to the questions, that may be asked are even shorter: +Realism +Track Animals +Track Players +Track zombie floks -NO minuses. Of course, weather effects and time should affect footsteps, so after 30 minutes or a rain, they will dissapear (slowly dissapearing). This will help players to use theire real-life experience (If you know how to differ boar and dear from human footsteps) in the game, or if they don't have that, gain it. Where, and how can you leave footsteps? As we know, you can't leave footstep on Asphalt (unless you are Hulk), so Footsteps can only be left in certain areas, let's list them -Forest ground is moist and soft, so you, and other creatures can easily leave their footstep on it. (Tracking Animals on the Forest by Footsteps!) -Near lakes, Snow, other Sand areas, where you can physically leave it. -If you stepped into dirt, you will leave dirty footsteps (for about a minute, and footsteps became less visible, more steps you do), so you will try to avoid the dirt, or if your shoes are in dirt, try to mislead other's by going in one directio, until dirt wears off from shoes, and after that going where you need. -If you are injured, stepped in blood, or you are bleeding. Leave Trails of blood, and Blood footsteps, until you are Cured, or recovered! What you say? Love you and Chernarus, Dean, we count on you, Trexeth, and his brain.

If i spotted him first, i say: Don't move, or i shoot. If he moves, i kill, if he stays still, i ask him to place weapon on the ground, and when he does it, i talk with him =)

Hello everyone, it's me again. My suggestion is very clear. When you log off, your character is not removed from the map. He is "sleeping". So actually when you are logged off, you can get looted. Like in real life! So before logging off you will need to find a place where to log off in order others don't find you. You can hide in the house and put lock on the door, or sleep in the grass or corn field. Zombies can't attack sleeping player (because if they would too many would be killed). Other players cannot kill you (if they could, it will lead to more character kills) Only thing other players can do if you sleep, is looting you. So if you logged off on open field, don;t be surprised if in 4 days you log on an empty character. So your character won't be killable, won't be movable, but can be looted by other players. What ya say?

What i think about, is that Hunting mechanism should be improved. I really would like to hunt down bears, deers, rabbits, and other animals Gather fur and skin from them, and later craft cool styled clothes. What you think about it? How about a real Hunting engine, that will make Hunting - realistic and cool. Tracking down deer for 2 hours by it's footsteps, and then finding and killing it - epic. Make possible to see footsteps of animals, that will help you find the animal!

Speakchat MUST BE revamped. My idea simple. If you Speak, you will be heard only at certain distance. Example will help you understand. If you use voicechat you will be heard only at max 200 metres (depending on how loudly you speak) Louder u speak - more faraway somebody can here you. It will be absoultuely same as in real life. You can be heard only by those who are near you. (Even by zombies). As i know futore Dayz SA will have up to 150 players on the map. I can imagine what VoiceChat woth 150 ppl in it will sound like. Ex: You and your friend spotted a bandit, and he is 20 metres away. You need to react fast, so you will use Voice chat. 1. Whisper to teammate: Stop there is a bandit. 2. Then talk with normal volume with bandit, and between this, whisper with teammate. So it will be absoultuely same as in real life. (Speak louder, more ppl here, Whisper - only few can hear) Zombies hear you aswell, and weather (rain) affects the distance also. If you need help very fast, you can start shoutig very loudly: Help, my leg is broken, i am bleeding. Players will hear you, and most likely will come to save you. (WIth the Realistic voice chat system, they can hear from which place you shout, so they can find you by voice) But beware, zombies also hear you, so they can come to you, befor other player comes. But this will add 100% Realism. If you shout, you can be heard on a long distance. (Zombies hear you aswell) If you whisper, only those who near you can hear you. This will add 142% realism to the game (Why 142%? there is a joke in Russia, that happened during elections. all votes from 5 parties, if we count showed up 142%, dat was fun))) But the Text chat wil lremain the only global communication thing in the game. Voicechat, use it like your own voice. How u like it? Love you and Chernarus, Good luck, Trexeth.

Hello everyone! Here is my next suggestion. Adding MONEY into the game. So you can find few buckses in houses aswell. Also you could sell to other players for buckses, and buy from others for buckses aswell. Money - will be rare and costly item (like in real life). Also add some Survivor camps (with NPC survivors) there you are not allowed to shoot/kill/steal (If you shoot, whole base attacks you). At that camps you can buy/sell Food/Drink/Ammunition/Rare weapons and other stuff for US Dollars. (or maybe russian roubles... don't know) Also at that base you can play mini-games (poker/chess - just fun mini games with NPC or other players) So this will be a place for fun without zombies. something like "Heaven in Hell". What ya say? Just imagine how it will work in game!!! Go play Poker))

How about making Birds mortal? I mean, enable birds hunting. Of you have a lot of ammo, but no food, you can try your luck, by shooting bird down. Whe it's shot, you will ned try to find it, then grill, and eat. So there will be new type of animals - flying birds. (Or birds can even sit) Thread update: Let's Decide which types of Birds you wanna see in the game: I am adding the Poll! Types of birds are: Seagull. Crow. Pigeon Sparrow Chicken Bustard Eagle Duck Black vulture Go VOTE!

yep, nice spotted, crows on dead bodies would be awesome

Hello everyone again! Here's next suggestion: Bullet zone tracking system. Something like in Dead Space 2. IF you hit legs - zombie will loose them, and couldn't walk anymore. If you shoot into hands - zombie looses hands, and cannot attack you with hands anymore. Headshot is a Headshot. Body shot will do normal damage, nothing specific. So if horde of zombie approaches you, aim their legs, and shoot their legs off, so they won't be able to walk/run anymore. Only crawling slowly.

OMG!!! USE SEARCH!! i've created topic with same name 4 hours ago!! WHAT IS HAPPENING? YOU PLAGUARIZED!

Suggestion for the Standalone. IF the weapon in standalone will be customizable, then how about adding Bayonets? So when you find a bayonett you can put it on your weapon. So you could kill zombies with melee and silently, using your bayonet. Here is a small picture of Bayonet.

Great you liked it. As for button for it - In Farcry 3 "F" is used for melee attack. i think that "F" button will be good for Bayonet attack

Hey folks! So, today i wanna introduce new suggestion. Frequent, random, abnormal events? What's that? Add more creativity into the game. Example: You simply run through the field, and Bah, small earthquake, or stuff like this. Maybe some Acid Rains? I mean, there are a lot of stuff that will make us feel more adrenaline. Goal of this suggestion - Make players feel really scary! More adrenaline. I mean, just add some unexpected scary shit in the game, that may damage your character. If there is acid rain - u need to find shelter fast! or stuff like that. Actually, goal of this is to make WEATHER - DEADLY. So actually different weather effects can seriously damage. Now guys, i wanna you discuss it, and GIVE SUGGESTIONS on more random abnormal things. Common, make your brain work! Current suggestions: Will be updated! Acid rain (can give serious disease to character, if he will not hide) Limnological catastrophe (Google if don't know - it is Acid gasses coming from ground, If you breath them, you can die. They happen rarely, but actually sometimes they do appear and kill. Blizzard (can be blizzard of dirt, or snow, or sand. Actually damages character's vision, and makes him feel really weak and uncomfortable Also! some not random, but effects caused by character: If character is tired, and he climbs on mountain, he can fall down. (Chance of falling depends on tiredness of character. Also character (if tired) can fall down if he steps on something (Stone, slippy dirt) Give more your suggestions!

Hey folks! I wanna propose new suggestion: Holding breath. If you are aiming, and you need maximum accuracy- hold your breath! Also, if you walk near dead bodies, or other "disease" things, you can get illness, so it's better to hold breath, in order not to be ill. Also! If you are trying to get into house, and crouching, and Then, suddenly zombie appears. He gonna walk near you and surely spot you by hearing you! HOLD A BREATH! and he will not spot you and pass by! (Actually Breath holding will absolutely reduce chance to be heard - Noise radar will be 0, but zombies still can spot you, if he sees you!) Beware - if you hold breath for too long - you will cough and attract even more zombies!

I am against "special zombies"!!! I mean, i want to ADD much more Weather effects! I will add some more to the initial thread.

THIS WILL OVERLOAD THE SERVER TOO MUCH! if you add that NPC stuff, your FPS will be 10 - NOT MORE! Think with your brain, be4 suggesting anything

Here is the picture. There is no airplines in the game. Who not to add one? Make Missles extra rare, and Make Fighter eat a loto of fuel. I am sure, that when u fill it up with missles and fuel, it would be extra fun to bombard Chernogorsk! No really. Flying fast over the city, and firing with missles. It would be really minutes of real fun. Make a fighter really rare, and all the ammo for it very-very rare. So you will see someone in a Fighter once a week, no more. I am sure, that driving the Airplane full of missles will genrate tons of fun. What u think guys?

Modern Games have their own Social Networks, especially very good games. Why don't create a Social Netowrk in DayZ? Something like Steam Social Network. Features public wants: (will be added after revising suggestion to this thread below) -Add a friend option. -Avatar option -Fast Messages -Adding Screenshots of you playing DayZ -Clans system -View Stats of specific player Let;s together suggest more Features!

Google Bustard, to see pictures. However, Bustard - is the heaviest bird in the world. It is small, but it has a lot of meat in eat. It is like Chicken, but twice more fat. (loads of meat) Somebody said, that we have chicken, and they are enough. I will open you a secret: CHICKEN CAN'T FLY! But the key point of this suggestion, is to add AIR HUNTING. Shoot birds sitting on trees. Guys, everyone who said that bird hunting is very hard. I killed 2 birds with my father when i was 12. They fly in folks, and sit on trees. The hardest thing is to spot the folk, and not to let them spot you. Birds are easy to kill if they sit on tree, But if they spotted you, they fly away.

I think it is the most interesting topic. Slow or Fast zombies. Give your suggestion, and state why below! Slow - Slow movement, Serious effects if bitten (Bleeding, Infection, High Damage) Fast - Fast movement, Not Serious effects if bitten. Will you be able to run from zombie, or not? That's the point. THREAD UPDATE!!! Even new update! lol!! Okay, so a small summary, say if you disagree: -3 types of zombies - Walking (they walk and run), jumping (they ony jump), crawlers ( they only crawl) -Zombie 3 lifecycles: --Young (Faster then a player ( a bit), spawn in non-habit areas, such as fields, walk alone) --Average (Something between Walkig and Running speed, so they are a bit slower then a human, They Roam map in big folks, in order to find humans) --Old (A bit slower, then Average zombie, but they always spawn in big cities and villages, so they are spawining only in habit areas, and the most popular zombie type) -A lot of zombies, if you shoot, you atrract a lot of zombies. Especially many zombies in the cities, villages, and Roaming map randomly. Undecided ideas: (Need to be discussed more) -Kill zombie, only with headshots, (body shots, make them weaker (slower, less damage)), but kill only with Headshots. Ex: If you shoot both arms, they can't attacck you with arms. Ex2:If you shoot one leg, zombie can only crawl. Ex3:If you hit body, zombie will stop for 1 second (something like stun), then continue running, but slower. How to use it: If you are in a hurry, you can just shoot into legs, rapidly, so they won't catach you. Let's Dicuss the undecided idea, called: Leg,Hand,Body,Head shot reaction. Zombie evolution biography: Young zombie spawn, run solo, triy to find some human, that they can eat. Then they become Avergae aged, and at that time they Scout the map in big folks (5-50 zombie) Then they become Old, and they don't run that much, and live in very big folks in Cities or villages. (In Village from 5 to 30) In city (from 50 to 150) So in total, there will be 9 Zombie types. Strong and Fast zombies are young, and go alone, without folk. Average and Old zombies, run a bit slower, but travel/live in big groups, or villages or cities.
