Mini Maracas 37 Posted November 18, 2012 (edited) Before I start, I just want to say I dot have DayZ yet, but have seen many videos and let's plays, so sorry if anything is wrong :)Basically, I think it'd be pretty cool to have a more suburban/village-y place in DayZ. I'm talking about loads of houses on a street. Most should be enter able, and there should be some ways for a player to mark their territory there and other interactive ideas:BarricadesI think there should be an option to move some of the furniture in the house to block/ make it harder to enter a doorway. This would be really useful against zombies, but other players would be able to move the furniture out the way.IsolationI'm talking about using wooden planks to block small windows. This way you can look out a little crack between the planks to spot possible intruders, but still remain unseen. You would need wood to do this, and possible a hammer/nails/toolbox. Would take a few seconds per plank, and you can add up to 4 planks?InteractionsDoor bells would be pretty cool, but could alert nearby zombies.Light switches could also be cool, including a porch light. Have them on in the evening, then turn them off at night so you get no visitors. Zombies could be attracted to light?PersonalisationHow about signs? Could have a sign post in your front garden saying 'keep out' or 'back in 2' or 'watch your back...' or something. ^^StorageCould have things like drawers, cupboards, chests, etc. household loot could be found, and also you can store things in them, but anyone could steal it! :PHope you like these ideas :) I've tried my best to balance them, too. I think it would be cool, to have a little house as a base, but you'd have to watch over it. Shouldn't be too many houses, as it'd defeat the purpose of fighting for survival/sharing things.Sorry for any spelling mistakes/anything I've missed. Posting from my phone.

Toastedzen 80 Posted November 18, 2012 I would constantly be outside on my porch growling at zombies "Get off my damn lawn!" in a Clint Eastwood voice.Check out the new Celle map. It has doorbells, if that is what you are into. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

pwajnkaim 1 Posted November 18, 2012 sounds great, not so sure about doorbells but barricading windows and stuff sounds awesome. It would let you make a proper base. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
