    Suggestion for killing on sight

    A solution that was actually been made for the Standalone is that you'd have to hold a key on your keyboard to aim at someone so on default, your weapon will always be lowered until someone presses or holds the key to aim. It takes the initiative that someone might or might not shoot you. Rocket had shown this in his expo.

    New injury for the game?

    I also heard rib cages and such could be broken as well. Having a broken leg would make you limp. I'm not sure about 2 broken legs, probably forced to crawl with your arms?

    New injury for the game?

    Still a limb nonetheless :P EDIT: Thought the picture was suited but the arm is the main topic here

    The DayZ Standalone Wishlist

    Great work on that wishlist. Keep it up! :) Feel free to take a look at these and add the ideas onto the wishlist to further support it Chapter 1: Integrate DayZ Forum avatars, clans, chatroom. (3/5 rating) Chapter 2: Other methods of combat; non-lethal. (3/5 rating) Chapter 3: ★Ideas for Hunting/New Equipment. (5/5 rating) Chapter 4: More Cooperation Features (4/5 rating) Chapter 5: Improving movements; Additional Gestures (4/5 rating) Chapter 6: ★Possible new buildings; Serving better purpose (5/5 rating) Chapter 7: Audio/Music adjustments; creating an ear-joyable atmosphere.(Standalone) (1.5/5 rating) Chapter 8: Weight as a factor, ability to see items in vehicles. (3.5/5 rating) Chapter 9: Standalone Weather (4/5 rating)
  10. Main Issue: Since DayZ is a mod and ARMA 2 is poorly optimized, many players like myself have encountered a problem where it consumes a lot of your CPU. It's been confirmed that the Standalone have resolved these issues. You'll see a major difference once released possibly in Mid-June :) TIPS: Try changing your resolution size to 'Windowed' and you can resize it. Sometimes a higher resolution requires more work on your GPU since there are more pixels to work with. (I don't even have an actual graphics card, just integrated and this works a lot better for me. Could help a lot for you) Along with those lines, try these startup parameters that can work in your ARMA 2: OP Arrowhead settings here. http://community.bis...rtup_Parameters Read carefully and use the ones that are the right ones for you :) I also think the most basic things you should know is changing your video settings in-game such as keeping your video memory on default.

    Diving, Underwater Bases/Caves and Water Vehicle's

    I don't think underwater bases would be a good idea. It's not really possible to have unless you're like the guys from Sealab 2021 or have a place like Atlantis. I do think Spearfishing would be great and a possibility of having some type of sporting goods store which could possibly have scuba gear for you to wear. Something like from the ARMA 3 Alpha lite :)
  12. Can this topic get moved to the forum category of 'Suggestions' as a sticky?
  13. This is a really great suggestion! I'd personally would love to see this. Imagine if the seasons were possible to have. Winter having a heavy snow storm and forcing you to find shelter. This is what comes to my mind of a house like what OP showed.
  14. Hey guys, TIC here and I'd like to suggest more features that would be useful for vehicles in the Standalone. Note: This would be a feature that'd be helpful for a lot of vehicles.. Airbags: A safety device. Most vehicles are equipped with air bags. They'd activate if there happens to be a moderate-high speed collision to an object. Depending on your blood amount, you could be knocked unconcious for a certain amount of time. Car Washing: Have you thought that driving off road would be a clean ride? Think again. Your car can become dirty and could possibly help you blend with the environments or otherwise you can keep your car looking clean and maintained. This idea is still floating. Car breaking down, other issues: Not all cars are perfect or maintained well. There should be a slight chance or rare chance of a car having an issue along the way. The chances increase over time but in a very small amount. You are able to fix it if you have the knowledge and tools to do so. Transmission/Engine failure. Faulty parts installed by a survivor. Damage caused from crashing or attacks can have a long-term issue Towing: Only available to do for large trucks and possibly a helicopter(Like a Huey) Great for taking cars back to an area such as camps or even bringing a car to a factory known for car parts for repairs. Sabotage for other players. Assistance for someone stuck on the side of the road. Car Alarms: Car alarms can be triggered when players either try to unlock the vehicle or bump into it(Zombies could bump into it as well in their path) which could attract more zombies around the area and alerting the owner of the vehicle at the same time. Cruise Control: It is known that driving on the highway or road at a certain amount of speed is the best way to drive for MPG's(Miles per gallon; fuel) .. This could be helpful for players for a survival purpose while maintaining the same speed they desire to go instead of having to hold down the key. Navigation System: Not all cars are normally equipped with Navigation Systems. This would work on the dash in the interior of a vehicle which would display a map. Like a GPS. There will be a chance of your navigation system having disconnection issues in certain areas like heavily forested areas or locations that aren't provided with coverage. Windshield wipers: To clean off those bloodstains from zombies/players ran over :P This would also help prevent rendering your vision from rain or other type of debris covering up your windows(Mud, dirt, etc) Air Conditioning/Heater: Can help keep your character satisfied with whatever temperature you desire. Armor Plates: Found some scrap metal and don't know what else to use it for? Could apply it around the body, front and back of the car to protect from small arms fire and could prevent some damage from collision. An ability to ride in the bed of trucks: Depending on an amount of gear stored in trucks, players have an option to ride in the bed. Will be instant death for those if crashed at a high speed. Four Wheel drive: Useful if your car is bogging down in some tough terrain or simply off-roading. ---UPDATE 3/21--- -Added more ideas. -Fixed formatting for easier reading, additional images. Other recommendations -More variety of vehicles; Fire trucks, ambulances, police cars, government grade vehicles, go-karts, mopeds/scooters, street bikes and maybe skateboards. -Each car part has it's different ability in performance for different cars. (CONFIRMED) -Cooperation for installing parts should be a must such as replacing tires, engines, etc. -Options to eat, drink, shooting out of windows, etc. -Prevent cars from exploding so easily -Fix terrain so vehicles won't flip over such as an ATV. -Base the mechanics of vehicles similar to ARMA 3 such as sound and handling.
  15. Personally, I think we should be able to store items in compartments like the glove box, door pockets, underneath seats, etc. I'd just leave a loaded clip into my cupholder or a nice cold pepsi
  16. If you guys haven't noticed, the red highlighted words indicate that you can click on them to view the image to give you a more clear idea instead of the definition labeled for it. :) I will find more ideas soon :)
  17. I think the problem with that is if someone manages to break your windows, they'd unlock it and perhaps hotwire if that's a possibility.
  18. Hand-to-hand combat has been confirmed for Standalone for those who didn't know. Rocket said so.
  19. I would like to ask how would this affect the community of having this implemented(IF, not it will) .. Here are my options with this. Option 1 --- After a report is sent, Battleye would be notified and will run a scan to the person's character and see whether it has banned weapons(not in DayZ), cheat programs, exploited coding, any type of harassment through chat logs and such. If it happens to find any of that, it will ban that person. Option 2 --- After a report is sent, players will be given the option to vote to kick/ban the certain person for such behavior. If the majority wins, they'll receive a kick. An available moderator will continue on with this issue to give that person some type of punishment. Option 3 --- Establish a group of volunteers that meet the requirements to join; This is what I'd like to call a 'Customer Support' group where they settle things like this. Reports will be queued through a list for them to go through. Reports can capture a reason, screenshot, character name and GUID. This is specifically for Standalone.

    Encouraging Cooperation Among Players

    Might want to search before suggesting :) Please refer to Chapter 4, this is what you're looking for But thanks for suggesting, all sounds like great ideas. Chapter 1: Integrate DayZ Forum avatars, clans, chatroom. (3/5 rating) Chapter 2: Other methods of combat; non-lethal. (3/5 rating) Chapter 3: ★Ideas for Hunting/New Equipment. (5/5 rating) Chapter 4: More Cooperation Features (4/5 rating) Chapter 5: Improving movements; Additional Gestures (4/5 rating) Chapter 6: ★Possible new buildings; Serving better purpose (5/5 rating) Chapter 7: Audio/Music adjustments; creating an ear-joyable atmosphere.(Standalone) (1.5/5 rating) Chapter 8: Weight as a factor, ability to see items in vehicles. (3.5/5 rating) Chapter 9: Standalone Weather (4/5 rating)
  21. Good idea :) I heard that animals will actually be smarter in the Standalone. Dogs in the mod were actually suppose to track animals for you to hunt but for it being in the Standalone would be better. I would like to bring up an idea about protecting your dog. Like getting a vest for a bit more protection against attacks
  22. Sounds a bit like WarZ but I think this is a good idea. I think I read somewhere that your character would have something like a 'one life' thing where if they die, you'd have to make another. Not too sure.

    Reloading

    Already confirmed for Standalone. Magazines are considered as an 'attachment' and has to be reloaded with bullets manually Magazines that you find won't always be full

    Dog tags

    Guess this could work ;P
  25. I do know that the development team made hacking a priority to make it as less of an issue as possible. The reporting system can be simplified for a use to make it for serious game breaking issues though :)
