Survival days actualy counting...
simonjames (DayZ) replied to kyle939's topic in DayZ Mod Suggestions
who cares how long someone has been alive for ? but your suggestion is valid and ofc it should be added ,but really do people actually care how long ther echar has been alive ? ,i play for exciting gameplay and good teamwork and would rather a char lasted 2 hours rather than 2 months if it involved a epic gunfight or car chase etc or something actually fun . -
Simple fix to fight against DUPING
simonjames (DayZ) replied to razzi's topic in DayZ Mod Suggestions
tbh fixing a glitch is not something that we should have to do .....its crazy to suggest we should spend our gametime looking for people glitching or duping or whatever then destroying gear ... just bann them its a obvious exploit and there is no excuses ,should be pretty simple to spot by mods etc and other player then report and ban - much simpler -
Too much complaining about 3rd person view
simonjames (DayZ) replied to UberFAKnNooB's topic in DayZ Mod Suggestions
people who talk about *reality* in a zombie game are pretty stupid ....its a game after all I mean really this guy int he video is just a tool ,every game has different camera options its not cheating its just using the game ,cheating is where one person has the advantage but as everyone can use both views then i just dont see your point -
ok im not trying to make this cod ....but maybe by killing a certain number of Z's you level up making you a better shot etc There should be some kind of ingame progression where u can specialize ,maybe by using the hatchet u become better at melle and its actually a valid option ,and this can include sniping and various other guns .....even running more should give u xp to make u able to run faster etc i dont think you should be able to become over powered just have the ability to improve at what you like to do ...as if i live in the woods and hunt animals i should be able to see and hunt them faster and get more meat than someone who has just wondered off the coast etc (also i did search for this but found nothing tbh suprised its not there so sry if i missed it )
-
well i thought it was a reasonable idea :P ....ofc the xp thing was just a suggestion it could be done in a more natural subtle way to fit in with the game ,but ofc once u have everything ie chopper and cars im kinda bored what to do next as reading terrain and the stars is not for me tbh . I bought arma 2 for dayz .....if i want to play mega serious game then i would play that (which i dont ) ,why isnt arma2 mega popular if all people want to do is read terrain and look at the stars ? i

Dogs could add a real nice angle to gameplay in Dayz .....as long as we can set them to attack other people and they are not just a novelty thing as realistically they would just get eaten by zombies or go rabid
-
best idea ever !! well not really but cookies always deserves +1
-
yeah exactly ...thats my point im a good shot ,why am i a good shot ? ....in rl im a terrible shot :P ,but for sure practicing daily on hordes of zombies would sharpen up my aim i would think anyways im just trying to add some more gameplay ...not all of us enjoy reading terrain lol ,also calling names shows a real lack of maturity .who cares how old i am its a suggestion forum lol

Light source suggestion (For night)
simonjames (DayZ) replied to CerebralZombie (DayZ)'s topic in DayZ Mod Suggestions
the ability to restore power to a city for a certain amount of time as noted above i like ^^^ but ofc then the generator or w/e it is becomes the snipers fav hangout ...unless there is multiple based around the city and maybe just providing dim lights or fickering random streetlights etc -
Eating raw meat, sort of like Minecraft
simonjames (DayZ) replied to gatortribe's topic in DayZ Mod Suggestions
just remove matches imo ......you can fly a chopper ,kill hordes of zombies ,replace major car parts operate military gear and administer morphine to yourself after breaking bones yet cant make a simple fire in the woods .....tbh even cavemen managed this -
gas more rare and cars more common!
simonjames (DayZ) replied to gobacktogo's topic in DayZ Mod Suggestions
Cars should be more available ,while military vehicles and jeeps that can travel across/through woods etc should be rare ......i want newer player to be able to get in a vehicle without having to play for 50+ hours finding parts etc .. and having the server choose the number of vehicles would just be abused so badly and smells of leetism -
Light source suggestion (For night)
simonjames (DayZ) replied to CerebralZombie (DayZ)'s topic in DayZ Mod Suggestions
Decent idea .....night time is pretty rough in dayz without nvg especially pitch black so anything that improves it then +1 i kind of like flares and chemlights though just torches suck so hard ,and why is there no flare gun ? i dont like lighting up where i am maybe i want to see whats over there >>>>>>> also improve the animation on throwing flares ..seriously it takes like 20 seconds to drop a flare sometimes -
if we are talking realism here .....then you should be able to eat the horse if u get a bit peckish then ;D
-
Critical change: Make Blood Bags Type O-!
simonjames (DayZ) replied to Fireworks's topic in DayZ Mod Suggestions
no ....cant see this adding anything to the game at all no offence you have had a reasonable idea sort of and im not bashing it ....just dont like it as it adds nothing of note -
its a suggestion thread for people trying to improve the game ....congratz on wasting space that could be filled with valid ideas
-
not a fan ......true i love red dead redemption but for dayz - no Just tighten up the vehicles already in game and maybe add a few more military vehicles

Disable abort/saving in buildings (Server hopper problem)
simonjames (DayZ) replied to Punishr23's topic in DayZ Mod Suggestions
Why punish the rest of us just because of server hopping douchebags ......just ban them - simple the the rest of us can go about playing the game as normal -
Alt-F4: Cannot log off unless 200m from another player?
simonjames (DayZ) replied to bogroll (DayZ)'s topic in DayZ Mod Suggestions
not really sometimes i have to log off in town .....or sometimes i have to log off because of rl issues and cant spend 10 mins running to the woods there is simpler ways to defeat lame douchebags that log off to ghost around or cheat death ..global/server ban -
not too sure im a fan of this idea as snipers will snipe and tbh they will just server hop and ghost away eat then come back and snipe again .... plus im not sure heinz would let there beans go moldy :P ,imo dayz dosent need to be that realistic or we may as well end up with a sims clone where u have to go potty etc ,just nerf sniper rifles or zone them or make it so if someone snipes near a town then spawn a bunch of z's next to them
-
Seems a reasonable idea ...ofc co-op gameplay is better but why am i forced to have to do something (hunt animals solo) ......that i dont have to do co-op this dosent promote team gameplay this just punishes solo gameplay ,tbh dayz is a great mod but you shouldnt be forced to play a certain way as imo most of the better games that have been released give fair options find hospital get blood ( thats teamplay ) .....but if your solo u need a knife ,matches and a hatchet and to go hunting not really that equal really

Since everyone's so bummhurt about Scoped rifles and suppressed weapons.
simonjames (DayZ) replied to Bulk's topic in DayZ Mod Suggestions
Terrible idea .....i just think they should be removed ,tbh u wanna play army then play arma2 and let the rest of us play the zombie survival game that dayz is trying to be -
Decent idea ....not sure if its possible in this game tho but if it is then +1 tho if it was added would like ot see zombies also being able to follow trails and investigate them
-
They have mentioned they want to follow the minecraft model so for sure i can see this happening in the future and omg i wouldnt buy it in a million years .....let them concentrate on bringing a balanced version to the pc or my money will go elsewhere as im sure the game industry is taking notes and expect to see DAYZ console clones released asap . simple fact is minecraft sucks on xbox

Placeable radios for communication or misdirection
simonjames (DayZ) replied to tobiassolem's topic in DayZ Mod Suggestions
such a good idea .....hearing a distress call from someone else within a certain distance on your radio would be totally insane and realistic and then speaking and deciding if you want to join up with them to help them or not would be a amazing choice ,could lead to traps ofc where people fake a distress call only to blast your face as u get close !!! epic idea +1 not too sure about the long range ones but deffo being able to listen in to others plans etc if u have there frequency could be amazing if you are within range and totally improve the ability to meet new players and group up -
I think its already been stated they will not be punishing bandits etc .....also its not very realistic or helpfull plus the fact even tho i hate losing all my gear i love it in this game as it just makes everything totally more tense and having the knowledge that i woyuld respawn with my gear back would pretty much ruin it tbh also this is a pvp game after all even if u dont shoot them u are still competing for food/bandages etc ....
