This is why I think the sling idea would work well because it can be implemented on melee weapons as well.

Currently in Dayz the character is capable of carrying a long rifle such as a Winchester one the left shoulder and a long melee weapon such as the fire axe on the right shoulder. I think instead of being classed as a rifle slot on the left shoulder and a melee slot on the right, it should have on each shoulder a long weapon slot allowing characters to carry two rifles, two melee weapons or one of each as it is currently. This will benefit so many players that only carry melee weapons because nothing else will take up that slot and also all of the players that "double carry" (weapon on shoulder and weapon in hand). By simply giving us this option it makes the game vastly more immersive as realistically a hatchet in the rucksack, a long range rifle and short range rifle is the ideal equipment. Even if the melee slot stayed as a melee slot at spawn, but you could convert it to a long weapon slot by creating a sling out of rope/rags/burlap/leather strips would be perfect as that too is what you would need in reality. Let me know what you think of this idea as I've thought of it for so long and wondered why its never been implemented or mentioned.

wait...mountain dew...aww man, i want one :P

This has brought a tear to my eye...fucking beautiful man....fucking beautiful :')

I think you should be able to wear vest pouches aswell as backpacks, so the vest pouch is your instantly available inventory which is worn on the front of your character and the backpacks as they are. This way the vest pouch has a use and there could be more vest pouches added.

I think the customizing skins is a great idea, when your in a group or something you could all have green hates or something to distinguish friend from foe.

Now, I know this is a bit out there, but when there are bases and camps instead of leaving the server when you 'Abort' you actually go to sleep? So in your underground base, where you should be safe unless someone were to find it? is the only real safe place to disconnect, implementing a possibly quite extreme sense of realism into the game. I would really like peoples idea's on this and improvements also criticism on what i havent thought about.

I think its a great idea, but maybe not in the same place, maybe its down to your keen eyes and ears to spot or hear the plane as it flys over head, that way people wont be able to set up and prepare for it to drop in the same spot?

Oh...still, it wasnt quite right xD

Yeah, i think you would run with the player just laying infront of you instead of being on your shoulders.
