fickers

Do you ever recall the time when people actually hesitated when got you at gunpoint? When people didn't shoot everything and everyone they saw at first sight. when DayZ was a Zombie survival game and not a sniping deathmatch with a zombie survival minigame. I don't know about you, but I at least would like to get back that feeling of survival, teamwork and "DON'T FUCKING SEE ME, DON'T FUCKING SEE ME" when just a few zombies pass you by. Anyway I have a few suggestion for the standalone title, which in my opinion enhance the overall experience. 3rd person perspective: Remove the 3rd person view. Why? When you see through the first person perspective it will automatically strengthen the feeling of being part of the game. It will make the game scarier and more horrifying. Being a "realistic" zombie survival game it is granted that it's not a walk in the park when engaging a city, it should be both scary and tense, which current version of the DayZ mod lacks. Forming a team: The standalone title should heavily focus on the asset of teamwork. Grouping up and forming a team should be the key to survival, not an easier way to add 3 more kills to your scoreboard. Sure, you could team up in the current version of DayZ, but the game doesn't encourage you to do so. The zombies are tremendously easy to both kill and do little damage. Creating a more tactical experience: A feature I'd really love to see in the upcoming title is heavy focus on tactics. Throwing trash or rocks in order to clear path, separating zombies from group, one by one in order silently take them down with a melee weapon. Adding so that the zombies actually have to look at you in order to spot you would be a great improvement from today's DayZ mod. For those of you who have played the horror game called Amnesia, you know the feeling when an enemy is nearby. A mix of adrenaline and fear, if DayZ tries to capture that feeling it wouldn't be anything but successful. More character customization: creating a more advanced character customization would be a neat feature, being able to change your character to your liking I'd image would please everyone. Cause, seriously. Even in Russia I don't think everyone is wearing the same exact outfit. Encourage to build a camp: Being able to build and upgrade a camp/ safehouse would also be a way too prevent people from struggling to find something to do. Being able to constantly upgrade your camp and raid others I would be a great pastime. Upgrading the graphics: Just do it. This is of course just my opinion and everyone is entitled to their own opinion. I'd also love yo hear your thoughts.

Hi there, I recently played the "Wasteland" game-mode, and really fell in love with the idea of random events. I really think it would be a great addition to the Dayz Standalone as well as the mod. For instance a random car, weapon's case or such placed/stranded in a random location, notifying the server of it's position and it becomes a race against the other players in order to obtain it first. Not only would it bring a few more massive gunfights to the game, it would also be a great for the social part. People grouping up together in order to be the first ones on the objectives. However, for the ones arguing about this not being realistic, I figured that if you add radios as a very common item it could "receive" the coordinates or position of the events through the item. Keep in mind, this is only my opinion and everyone is entitled to their own opinion.

That's why I made the suggestions about radios or such items. If only people carrying a military grade radio was informed about these events.

Womb Raider, I do understand that the zombies weren't meant to be there. Yet, I'm just saying they are poorly made, don't get me wrong. All hail the guy who made them.

I know of none truly terrifying games which chose to go for the 3rd person perspective. Yet, I guess having the opportunity to choose isn't all that bad. Yeah, but even if they heard you they shouldn't be locked on you. They should turn in the direction of which the sound came, and IF they see anything they should engage. For the Amnesia part it perhaps was a bit harsh comparison. Not being capable of fighting back is.. Well... Amnesian's charm.
