Suggestions to make it even more FUN

[Sk1ll3RF3aR 2]

HI there,

I love the Game as it is it brings a lot of stuff to do with it.

But here my Suggestions:

I miss a system where i can craft items, yeah i'd realy love to do that cause it gives you much more feeling of an apocalypse.

I have in my mind that it is possible to loot even more stuff like in old cars or even break stuff from houses or search in

trash piles to find stuff that may be usefull to build a wepon like a provisoric hatchet etc. or even equipp your guns with parts you find.

Also i'd love to be able to creat provisoric bandages like from torn apart cloth etc.

I feel sort of those things would improve the feeling.

Next is i miss the dumb zombies.... yeah they are not intelligent at the moment but duuuuude when they see you the rush around you tearing of your face before you can even react. I accept that they can do this but dude even the hopping ones sometimes stand up and crush me down.

Also a suggestion to improve feeling is the thing to lock down in houses barricade them and use them as a shelter or even main Base.

And this should come with the possibility to post on walls that you're looking for a partner etc or write other notes on.

Humm let's see i also would suggest a little more animals cause they shuld be not that rare in non infected areas. Where i come to my next point,

Areas that are cleared from infection providing a shop so you can trade and even have more fun scavenging. Maybe some quests to earn money?

You should be able to loot more from other dead survivors like taking their clothes or using them for something else (crafting).

Well, i think weapons should break down, i mean dude it's apocalypse this stuff is not unbreakable, where we'd come again to crafting.

Repairing weapons with all sorft of stuff, duct tape etc.

Last but not least what i actually can suggest is the possibility regen health if your fully fed and not thirsty, dunno if that may be planned

right now but in real life i regain my blood after time i lost some, slowly but it does as far as i know ^^

So here you go these are my ideas at first if i get something new in my mind i'll write it down again :)

See ya

So what your saying is its too hard and not enough like Minecraft? Actually Minecraft has zombies maybe you should be playing that instead. Also lol @ ducktape although taping up some ducks might be fun.

I agree with the Op and so do many others, and this type of game play is what the Developer is trying to accomplish. There is nothing hard about Zombies, but only annoying when they run at you and spin their arms 80mph. Rocket said he's a designer, and not an animations expert so we can expect some better things out of the Zombies in the Standalone. The only properly acting zombies are when you get them in buildings and they actually act like Zombies.

Zombies, from what I understand, was just something to draw in the crowd. The real element of this game is its survival elements. So barricading yourself, etc... has already been "tested" with what construction elements that are in the game and we should expect some real constructing tools in the future.

As far as weapons breaking down, I fully agree. I think there should be modular weapon systems. From finding upper and lower recievers to barrels, optics, stocks, etc. You could find these parts over time and construct the weapon or you can have something break on your weapon and use a part you found to fix it. It also enables you to turn your M4A1 from a 300m effective range to 500m effective range with the addition of a longer barrel, etc.

Again, have some vision and think outside the box. This is a sandbox game that should be endless in possibilities, but you seem content with what it haves already. I feel sorry for you.

They are not zombies , they are humans infected with a virus and as such , will run more or less the same speed as players .

You don't want to be chased by an infected Usain Bolt .

On the other hand , infected Grandma Mavis with out her stroller could be a laugh .

Well there are already infected Mike Tysons... why not infected Bolts?

sorry for the misspelling on that one ..... i meant the duct tape :P

No i'm not saying it's too hard either i want it to be like minecraft. I just thought of things that may improve the feeling, and dude i'm sorry for you if you would't try to create a weapon when it's apocalypse day

I mean the fuck? You would run to the next house and rip some fucking stuff of just to give those zombies a headache they'll never forgett? You didn't really get my intention on that one.
