Clearly somebody hasn't learned their lesson yet.

I wonder why?

I love games that take place in big cities, but this wouldn't happen. Make it smaller, maybe 70-90km2 and it would still take a very considerable amount of time.

You really think posting again is a good idea?

Many of these are good ideas, but many of them have been suggested before. In the future, don't post "big list of ideas" topics, because it is very difficult to search for and results in people using the same ideas over and over again, because they don't want to look through each "list of ideas" topic. Focus on a few good, original ideas and go much more in depth to them, about how they are needed and how they will positively affect gameplay. People respect these kinds of topics much more than suggestion lists.

If you are unaware, there is a new forum for these threads specifically. http://dayzmod.com/forum/index.php?/forum/69-clan-group-recruitment/ Please post in this forum, as it will reduce clutter in the Survivor HQ forum and increase the chances that you find a group/member. Thank you.

Please don't post topics with names such as "dayz ideas", and don't post a long list of ideas as most of the time 90% of them have already been suggested. Talk in-depth about an original idea and people will respect it. I see that you are new to the forums and such actions are taboo here, so take a look at this thread before you post: http://dayzmod.com/f...before-posting/

I've found the perfect game for you... http://www.ign.com/articles/2010/10/27/red-dead-redemption-undead-nightmare-review

I do like the general idea, but I don't agree with some of the specifics in OP.

Have you thought about why I do this?

It was actually quite a long time (relatively) before he had the brilliant idea to post this thread. I was beginning to think he had taken the hint.

You again? Very well. Challenge accepted. ZOMBIE MECHANICS: ordinary zombies should sleep at night walking by them noisily could wake them up and make them more vicious then normal. Zombies don't sleep. ZOMBIE: there could be nocturnal zombies that only sleep in daytime but are stronger faster in nighttime. See above. ZOMBIE: there could be packs of zombies that are deadlier faster and roam in the wilderness i know this has been suggested before but i liked the idea so i posted it here (give credit to the original makers of the idea). Don't post if you know it has been suggested. GANG WARS: players could create gangs as in the takistan life simulator mode this would encourage players to team up and control certain areas to deal weapons food and drugs weapon mags and livestock. http://dayzmod.com/f...page__hl__gangs http://dayzmod.com/f...e__hl__resource http://dayzmod.com/f...commodity-wars/ SLEEPING: players should need to sleep to gain energy and stay alive as everyone knows you die if you dont sleep. http://dayzmod.com/f...other-problems/ http://dayzmod.com/f...ggestion-sleep/ EFFECT OF FLASHING HUNGER BAR: if the players hunger bar is flashing red he should not die for awhile but he should start to become weak and lose blood faster and start blinking and becoming skinny. http://dayzmod.com/f...age__hl__hunger http://dayzmod.com/f...ger#entry301007 http://dayzmod.com/f...age__hl__hunger http://dayzmod.com/f...ger#entry633298 SEASONS AND PASSING YEARS: if a singleplayer campaign is added this could change the landscape example. the roads and pavements could get grass growing through them and buildings would decay and food would become rarer. http://dayzmod.com/f...ons#entry233896 http://dayzmod.com/f...ge__hl__seasons http://dayzmod.com/f...ons#entry362540 http://dayzmod.com/f...ons#entry434165 http://dayzmod.com/f...ge__hl__seasons http://dayzmod.com/f...ge__hl__seasons http://dayzmod.com/f...ons#entry306518 http://dayzmod.com/f...age__hl__hunger Enough for you? TRAWLERS: there could be trawlers that could catch large amounts of fish to eat. http://dayzmod.com/f...ing#entry674566 http://dayzmod.com/f...ge__hl__fishing http://dayzmod.com/f...ge__hl__fishing BASIC SHELTER BUILDING: if anyone has seen a bear grylls show they will know what i mean. players could get wood and branches to create a shelter to sleep in and keep warm. http://dayzmod.com/f...nd-logging-out/ STORMS: there should be heavy rain storms which would force players to keep warm and hide in shelters (see above suggestion) it would also make swimming and sailing unsafe in the stormy sea. http://dayzmod.com/f...under-snow-etc/ http://dayzmod.com/f...eather-systems/ http://dayzmod.com/f...ther#entry51457 http://dayzmod.com/f...eather-effects/ http://dayzmod.com/f...ge__hl__weather http://dayzmod.com/f...ther#entry33676 Are you still seeking a lesson in proper use of the search bar?

When did you get your doctorate?

This has been suggested many, many, many times.

Post this topic on here: http://dayzmod.com/forum/index.php?/topic/3910-need-medical-assistance-we-can-help/ You'll get some help pretty quick. I'd help you out but I can't get on DayZ atm.

Another brother has fallen...

Agreed, makes perfect sense to me and it's not anything gamebreaking but makes it more playable in that you don't have to run for several hours if you want to get somewhere.

But with wetsuits, they might.

Yes, SOME people do. Your average survivor cannot. And the people that do parkour, don't do it wearing 20+ pound backpacks and rifles. I dare you to try and get a noteworthy jump with that kind of equipment. Because the movie is made for action, and DayZ isn't that same type of action. The movie stretches realism, whereas DayZ doesn't dare. His idea is that you can do parkour-like movements, because people do them in movies, when in reality it is difficult to do and almost impossible in a zombie apocalypse where you are carrying backpacks and rifles.

I was not aware of this. Where did he say that?

Therein lies the problem.

So now your argument is about it being a balanced game. Fine, if you want to look at it that way I find that the vest makes it more balanced than you are suggesting. Bandits have the protection of not caring about whether or not they KoS. Just about every bandit kills everyone they see and it offers FAR more protection than any vest does. Heroes get protection from new players straight from CoD who grab the first pistol they find and starting shooting whoever the hell they see. Fair trade in my opinion.

The problem with that is if I'm in the middle of Cherno and suddenly something comes up real life and I have to get off right then, and I'm not in combat, I want to be able to do that without thinking I'm going to die because some zombie stumbled across my still standing body.

You serious? I've seen so many threads about how bandits should be punished in various ways, and almost every post on them from survivors is about how playing as a bandit shouldn't be punished. You want an example of somebody else who likes bandits but is a survivor? Here's one: http://dayzmod.com/forum/index.php?/topic/91238-concerning-hating-bandits/
