Ferreus (DayZ)

I agree with alot of what you say, Blitzy, but this is the suggestion box and i sincerely think these changes would make the game more enjoyable for the vast majority you speak of, and in the end, is that not what the people making it want?

I love the ammount of zombies we have now, but I got 100m traveldistance with 3g17 clips, 9 akm clips and 3 bandages before running out of it all. The game is broken, and here's how to fix it: 1. Zombie behaviour 30% zombies spawned are hoppers, 10% are runners and the rest just walk towards you. I have always wanted them to increase the ammount of zombies to what we have now, just make them walk instead! Hell, in my opinion, if they implement this they can increase the ammount of zombies even more. What this will lead to: We have all walked around with an abundance of ammo before, I personally did not enjoy how easy this state was to achieve. This way, if you need to go into a town, you need to use alot more ammo, making it far more valuable. Also, if 90% of the zombies are slow, you can, if you need, be less wasteful of it. 2. Silent options We have all thought this: GIVE ME A GODAMN MELEE WEAPON ANY FUCKING DAY OVER THIS STUPID AK! We need a hatchets, baseball bats, machetes, hell, give me a godamn pocket knife and i'll gladly toss my makarov aside. Increase the spawnrate/reclaimability of crossbow bolts, make the crossbow deal more damage to zombies. I got lucky once and found bolts in 3 buildings in a row, killed 3 zombies, was unable to reclaim a single bolt and then I was out. What this will lead to: Silent alternatives are so rare and so uneffective as it is now, and with the additional zombies we are stuck with, what are you supposed to do if you're in a middle of a town and a single zombie spots you? Option 1: Shoot it, then fend off 50 more and probably run out of ammo and die. Option 2: Run for your life out of town and kill it and fend off the 30 additional zombies you managed alert doing so and probably run out of ammo and die. Option 3: You're not one of the 99%, you have a silenced mp5 and everyone else hates you. Go away. This way, if a zombie or two notices you, you can take it out without dying. Also, they can make ammo spawn at a lesser rate, making it even more valuable. All in all, as it is now, it is unplayable, I don't think this is what anyone envisioned going into this, neither the devs or the players. With these changes, everyone would enjoy the game alot more.
