Idea: -Chose "Professions" or "Back story" wen creating a profile , just like wen we were able to chose the character's sex. Why: -I thought of this because I've read some threads like this one, and got many of my ideas from "Dead Frontier", but those thread always ask something (kinda) like this : "-soldier Start with a freaking minigun and endless bullets, -doctor-cures cancer just by winking at someone" and stuff like that. >>My version<< What Are The Professions Going To Do: Add very minor pros and cons to everyone of them, so there isn't just one overpowered or useful "class". Clothing Variants -If possible make different clothing for the more important classes, that can be useful for seeing if someone is worth killing or not, examples: #"oh, look, and engineer, i know this one car he can help me fix, better try to be friendly" #"great, a medic, maybe he can help me heal this illness more quickly" Inventory Changes: Not much, possibly..: -military style classes to spawn with random ammo, but no weapon, -medical staff to spawn with a band-aid or other related item, -engineer/mechanic with a toolbox -etc. ..and so on, just very minor stuff that make sense having. Bonuses: [NOTE-yes, this might not be possible adding with the engine, but ,who knows.] Without getting into too much detail, depending of the class and some minor pros and cons to balance every stat, example: -Athlete- pro- +a% running speed con: +a% thirst speed -Mechanic- pro- +b% vehicle repair speed con: ? -Soldier- pro: +c% accuracy con: +d% Hunger -etc. I haven't thought of this that hard, because, you know.. its just an idea. NOTES -Like I said before, I know some of this isnt possible with the game's engine, but since DayZ might one day be it's own game, there is going to be more "freedom", I suppose. -If you guy are interested in knowing were I got my ideas from and whats "Dead Frontier": http://deadfrontier.wikia.com/wiki/Professions I took a long time to write and think about this thread so feel free to call me bad names and saying this suggestion is dumb by adding a reply below.

I dont like it, thats is making everyone's life a lot easier. Why do you think the start items were removed?

The only idea i liked was the cripple effect , everything else removes realism, and thats what the mod is looking to do, not balance the gameplay so its more "playable"

"Also with global chat I had funny or interesting conversation with other players about the game or other stuff and I did enjoy this, also they helped me a lot in the beginning." Thats what the forums are for.

I agreed, but some people dont like it, I personally prefer servers without 3rd person, too bad they arent very common

"make them slower: Zombies in lore are undead and usually not very fast on their feet but in DayZ they are" make sure to do your homework before posting "suggestions" like this, they are alive people with good physical state, but they are infected with the virus

So, what you are saying is that you want more atmosphere? Well, you know, pre-alpha that small details like that arent their #1 priority

nope. wen you die you die, not just spawn in a tent, start all over, like it was meant to be

it would be more simple if it just had the killed player name and if they were a bandit or not. also have a way to see other player's kill book wile they are alive to know if they are trustworthy

I would like to see a realistic version of the fallout system

oh yea, great idea, also ad a bikini as a common loot... seriously now,it is just going to add a reason to male player to play as a female like it was said before, "silly post"

cool system, but there should be a way to see in what level someone is, and the kill numbers are a bit too extreme

makes sense, but for now the civilian clothing already has some kind of vest,so unless it just ads more damage resistance, it wouldnt be easy

yes! great idea
