The Top 3 Improvements DayZ needs!

[Smashthest 0]

Hi DayZ fans, I'm sure these are all topics that have been discussed before on these forums. The reason I am posting this is because I feel like they need to be improved before the standalone! If these things happen, I'm sure everyone will have more fun, and DayZ will be the most badass game ever.

1. Hand to Hand Combat

I love spawning with close to nothing, and needing to find items to survive, but it's pretty dumb that I can't use my hands! Players should be able to punch and kick other zombies/players, even if it does very little damage. I'd even be satisfied if players could at least push a zombie over, because I am sick of getting chased for miles!

2. Improved Zombie Animation

DayZ really draws me in, especially when I play in first person. It even gets me scared when I'm being chased or attacked, BUT the animations have just gotten so stale! The zombies need attacking animations that are convincing, and your character should react in pain instead of just stand there! That would make the game so much more engaging and a whole lot of fun. (And on a side note, zombies need more skins! I'm sick of seeing 5 of the same zombie chasing after me, get some variety in there!)

3. A More Detailed Environment

I can't complain about DayZ's graphics. However, I wish more of the houses were enterable. It's gotten to the point where I can look at the model of a house and realize that I can't go in, because it was just like the house in the town I was just at. The houses need to look different in each town, and almost all of of them should be enterable. It'd be cool if some doors were locked and you could shoot the door handles to get inside. I miss when I first started playing DayZ, because back then when I entered a house I would think 'Oh man!!! I wonder what I'm gonna find!!!' I've gotten used to all the house layouts and I'm really hoping that DayZ can get some variety in the future.

That is all!

I dont mean to sound mean, but this is already going to be in the standalone. Please look at the updates or search function. All this will be addressed.

i would love to see trading or safe towns. if this game is based in r/l which i can safely assume it is, then humanity would have a need to come together. i mean of course we need to keep the raiders and the bandits, just a small area of the map you can trade and talk to other players knowing you won't get raped for a few bandages and an axe

^^^ No. No safe towns..only what you can achieve by working together.
