it would be very interesting to walk through a town and see these indirect indicators that some else was recently there. It sure would have me looking over my shoulder if I saw blood and shell casings everywhere. It would also make groups much more cautious of their actions, but implementing it would very challenging.

very, very solid points OP particularly about the obstructions 95% of the time I see them used its by people blocking off every single building in cherno/elektro

+1to this it would be a great nuance to add in the game and in addition it would be nice to have when one of your friends is killed by walking into a fence (happened to me yesterday) or any other such buggy ways.

sorry, but it would really be easier to consolidate your ideas with this thread http://dayzmod.com/forum/showthread.php?tid=10716 but just so you know I think it would be a great thing to have and makes more sense than a military helicopter

zombies with player skins would be a really nice addition, as for what they carried it would be cool if they carried one random item that the player had on them when their body despawned (not a weapon or backpack however)

This is a simulator, not a F**king Cock of Duty game. I'm disappointed. Edited, because my friends are Grammar Nazis. I don't see how any of those are inhuman traits

couldn't agree more with you. Having an item that is seen so seldom that it might take you months to find one, if ever, really makes things interesting. Things that are not "better" per se but just unique like perhaps a Humvee (most likely without a gun) or an ambulance as vehicles and for weapons maybe a katana, a pp-2000 and an AKM with the same sort of camouflage as the SVD. In terms of other loot I'd suggest a placeable sign that can have a message put on it by the one who placed it, and definitely a unique skin like a nice suit or a surgeon. Things like these (and whatever other ideas people provide) that even large clans would be lucky to find, provides you with something to hope for and keep the game interesting

some degree of player customization beyond "Male or Female" would be nice, but maybe not spawning players with a flak jacket. If you could select X amount of perks when you create your character and the skins you suggested could be found as loot that would make more sense to me. Here is a list of possible perks I came up with on the spot. *10% higher max blood count *-10% chances of finding junk (tin cans, whisky bottles) in loot piles (not sure how this could be implemented) *+10% food and water threshold *-10% chance of bleeding from a Zed hit *voice chat range is doubled *can see player names from twice as far (if applicable) *reduced visibility and audibility but increased susceptibility to injuries *speed with primary weapon is raised to the speed with your secondary out. *SLOWLY regenerate blood *resistance to broken legs and pain (after 1.7.2) doubled *immune to sickness *+50% damage vs. Players but double damage from Zeds who can detect you from 10% farther than normal values could be tweaked as needed for the sake of balance (especially the PvP perk)

I know that feel when it comes to seeking vengeance but think about it this way... you wake up on the shores of a desecrated former Soviet state. As you begin to walk around you suddenly become possessed by a hatred, and an unquenchable zeal to end the life of a person you've never met not to be anthropomorphizing a digital manifestation but you get what I mean, also even if it showed the exact circumstances of why player A killed player B you would still never be able to tell if the person you are looking at wants you dead. Which is an awesome part of Dayz

If a fully functional solo mode (with a character separate from your multi-player character) could be implemented it would be a nice addition for a certain demographic of players and could prove to be an interesting facet should Dayz become a stand alone game (and VERY nice if you are cut off from the internet) . But most people would soon realize that Dayz by yourself is not truly Dayz the PvP (or in my case, player vs. "wait... wait.. are you friendly because Im.. *BANG*) aspect is integral. Also this seems to me like it would require a massive investment of time by the developers and require a near overhaul of the servers, especially to make a separate solo character

sorry, but with where the game is right now with a somewhat clunky inventory system further complicating it with empty mags rounds and rounds with no mag to go in probably would not work out. tl;dr a good realistic idea but the Arma's inventory system isn't ready for it.

the way I see it if your in a city big enough to have a hospital you should have no problem finding food and water so people would use the IV for their most beneficial characteristic, refilling a players blood count, which means they'll be treated by players as blood bags and just become redundant, but that's just me

definite +1 to this, given the condition of Chernarus I doubt that makarov you find in the shady corner of a barn will be in mint condition to start with not to mention being in the rain and at your side when your crawling around in the grass/dirt. I don't quite agree with adding a chance for the gun to explode in your hands but a noticeable loss of accuracy and increased tendencies to jam (particularly when in full auto) would be a very nice addition to the game further down the road.

I have to say no to anything that could, however remote disturb the heart stopping moment of meeting another "survivor" with NO idea what their intentions are, this is one of the most integral parts of DayZ

at the very least it should display the amount of storage space, also tools shouldn't count as weapons with regards to storage
