Have any suggestions ever been implemented?

[roykingtree 125]

Everyday I see new suggestions being posted and it's becoming a cluster****. Some are general, some are very specific and there are probably hundreds of suggestions that are pushed in to the attic due to low population. I would like to know if these are ever read by the community dev team/SA dev team. I would like to see response and action from the devs regarding submitted suggestions. For example if they don't like a suggestion they should delete the thread (w/ explanation) and place it in a list of turned down suggestions. There should be a more organized DayZ Suggestion topic complete w/ sub categories like Mechanics, Items, etc...

I'm confident that in the end the devs will see the value in my suggestion to add bitchin' customizable hairdos and fat zombies.

Yup, many ideas for the mod and the SA are taken from this and various other forums. Eg. Utes being added to the Chernarus + map, disease/defecation, weapon degradation ect, ect: I could go on, it's a very long list.

Rocket doesn't chat so much on the forums now but not long ago he'd be on here every day discussing ideas with us and he still lurks a lot, unfortunately whenever he makes a post about anything now he just get's bombarded with stupid questions.

If you have an idea, and want to see it ingame, you can make it yourself. If you have the knowledge you can make the code/assets and make a Pull Request on GitHub, and if R4Z0R and the other team leaders like the feature they will implement it. An example were some of the new models like the machete which were made by Elvaron, a community member, for the latest patch. I am currently working on some textures for food and drink cans to add some Chernarussian-styled variety to the game.

If you don't have the necessary skills, keep trying and hope that someone can pick up your idea and fly with it.

We're making suggestions, we haven't been given a seat on the design team.

That's not the point of this.

Probably every change that DayZ undergoes will have been referenced against suggestions made by forum members. It doesn't mean you get a say, it means you've been allowed to share an idea.

The suggestion thread is for discussion of ideas, potentially letting the devs know what our thoughts are and helping make a better game overall. Not publicity whoring or blogging (like some seem to do).

There's no sense in re-organising things at this late stage in the game IMO. It's already served its purpose for the most part.

It would've been very handy to have done something along those lines about 6 months ago, but hindsight's a bitch.

Lols, I never once thought I was on the design team but thanks for your confident response.

... and nine thousand cans of Beanz. He is probably drowning in cans somewhere at the moment.

I think suggestions are fine but the devs are probably be more interested in how the suggestions could actually be implemented into the game rather than general ideas like - I want 10,000 zombies onscreen at once.

There was a time when newly spawned players had their makarov spawned witht them.

Then a suggestion appeared in the suggestion forum.. Which changed it all

I hope not..

I doubt the game devs give a shit about suggestion to be fair, its just a job for them to make a decent game that isn't a bag of wank. Were most of us are passionate nutjobs the suggest crazy shit that we think would be amazing in the game like. I suggested something about animals when I thought it was a amazing idea but my god that will never happen in a million years looking back at it lol.

[TIC 1050]

I think there should be a stickied thread in the suggestions category that lists of confirmed items that will be presented in the mod/standalone so there would be less duplicate posts about confirmed ideas :) That's just my idea that needs to be confirmed ;)

[mr_chabowski@live.co.uk 2416]

It's a nice thought, but I guarantee you most of the dupe-topics come from folks who wouldn't even read stickies.
