If you could have 3 things changed or fixed

[pythonmsh 71]

What would it be and why? You can only list 3 things.

I'll start.

1 - Fix the twitchy zombies. Very annoying when trying to aim towards their head and they're just twitching all over the place.

2 - Allow most buildings to be entered. It's rather horrible to know that there's only a small selection of buildings in DayZ that you can actually enter. It really ruins the game quite a lot.

3 - Allow it so zombies cant go up ladders or open doors. It really ruins the game to know that zombies can open or teleport through the door. Kind of like a little safe haven while you bandage up or whatnot. Then you know there's gonna be a big group of zombies waiting when you open the door.

What's yours?

1- Moving inside houses. I don't know what thats called exactly, but its freakin' annoying. When trying to get through a doorway you get caught on it and you basically have walk back and forth until you 'fall' into the gap. Its impossible to have a quick run through a house.

2- The zombies. Add damage, but make them slightly slower and more brain dead.

3- Concequences for being a bandit. Its way too easy just to shoot people. There needs to be some penalty.

[Chris529 380]

1. Zombies are a twitchy, spastic mess that can go from standing to sprinting in the blink of an eye. If they would stop doing that stuff, that would be great.

2. very clunky and awkward when moving around in buildings, sometimes if you even turn the wrong way you are forced through a railing and are killed.

3. If this is still happening then choppers leaking fuel because some glass is cracked should be fixed. If it has already been fixed then I guess cars should be made a bit sturdier, you know so they don't explode if you nudge a few things too many times.

3- Concequences for being a bandit. Its way too easy just to shoot people. There needs to be some penalty.

Please don't write this again or many people will have broken noses from facepalming too hard.

^{Short of recent changes, I like Chris' list. Hope SA fixes 1, and I hope vehicles and movement are like Arma 3. Tired of losing tires to tiny pebbles and becoming completely immobile. Movement seems smoother to an extent in Arma 3, don't spend as much time in buildings in Arma 3 though, so not certain.}

PHYSICS. No more floating characters or dead bodies. I don't need 3 things, I want this one 3 times more.

[TripleCripple 2]

1. Zombie movement, attacks and general twitchiness.

2. Size of cities, even the largest cities in DayZ are really really small compared to real cities.

3. Medic/healing system, I wouldn't be opposed to something quite more detailed.

I thought the ARMA ballistic system was pretty good. It would be nice to have a wind system in the game, but appart from that I can't think of other games that have better balistics. (if you know such games please share :) )

There is a map which is just one big city. I can't really remember the name of it, but you can try looking on DayZdb if you want to try it.

None that I'm aware of, but there's always room for improvement.

[timboski 618]

1. Zombies. Just make them good. I understand they are meant to be infected people and not braindead traditional zombies but they shouldn't be like Mike Tyson on crack. Larger groups at slower speed would be great.

2. The physics and clunky animation. People and vehicle physics are rubbish, period. I know ragdoll is difficult to implement but Arma 3 has a pretty decent system so far. Use that. I would also like basic climbing functions (and for zeds to be able to climb after players, over obstacles etc) but appreciate this doesn't work with the arma engine.

3. Various silly glitches like being able to lie fully submerged in water without dying or opening a door and breaking your legs etc etc etc

I don't know what you mean. I'm saying that to be a hero you have to spend ages getting your humanity up, not to mention you have to find people who won't backstab you.

To be a bandit its just see a person, shoot him. Voila. No concequences whatsoever.

Please tell me what you mean, or they'll be lots of broken noses.

[Owain1122 218]

1. No more buggy zombies and let them move in a straight-ish line

2. All buildings enterable (seems to be the case for most buildings in the SA

3. Personally I would like to see more backpacks on the server and in places like houses.

The zombies are just modified soldiers from ArmA 2, but I know this is just a thread what you'd like to get changed in he mod. Just a heads up.

[magicoi 1]

If you go in a building and close the door,zombies should be able to smash the doors in to enter, not teleport, at least this would give you a change to bandage, change weapon etc.

The sheer mental brutality of waiting for the inevitable zombie stampede would be awesome!

[khaenz 93]

1. Zombies. They are horrible. They shouldn't be able to walk right through doors and walls.

2. Wind, sniper rifles are too damn overpowered in ArmA, so wind would be a really nice addition, you would have to take a "test" shot to know what the wind is, or find some sort of windmeter.

3. More skins. I want things like soldier uniforms, suits and hazmat suits.

You are meant to be able to play as you like, freely doing as you choose. By adding consequences to one of the three basic playstyles (hero, survivor and bandit) you are NOT giving players the freedom to play as they like, but you are cornering them to choose between being neutral and being good.

It is realistic that it is easier to be a bandit; how many starving, thirsty, desperate, afriad people do you think would be friendly to strangers in this situation? If you want to walk up to someone and be friendly you are putting your life in the hands of a complete stranger, who would have a lot to gain by just shooting you and taking what you have.

With banditry, your life is in your hands, it is much, much safer. It is a much smarter way to play if you want to make sure you remain safe. It's human nature to be paranoid and survive no matter what. Put those two together combined with desperation and you have a pretty clear cut outcome; people will kill each other out of paranoia and survival instinct.

If you want to play as a hero you are taking the hard path. It's like choosing easy, normal or hard in a game. Do you complain that hard is unfair compared to easy/normal? Of course it is unfair, because you chose the hardest difficulty. With DayZ, everyone is choosing a different difficulty. Those who play as bandits will have the edge on you because it is easy to just lie and shoot you. It is not alright to make everyone choose the friendly path (via punishing bandits) to make your more difficult path any easier. If you don't want everyone out to get you and don't want to get killed as much, play as a survivor and avoid bandits (or kill them if they attack of course) like everyone else.

So basically heroes have it rough because they are trying to give an angry bear a hug. You can either join the bears (or the survivors, I guess they are rabbits? IDK just a metaphor) or just come to terms that there are a shitload of angry bears out there and they will get you if you let them. No need to punish the bandits because you are punishing yourself by choosing the hardest way to play the game.

Also just forgot to mention, there is a big consequence for being a bandit; If you kill just about everyone you meet then you are also killing possible allies who would make life easier. You also have the skin which I don't like but for now it's an instant KOS red flag for all survivors and heroes.

This is applicable to the arma series as a whole and isn't a criticism of improvements that are underway for the SA/Mod etc.

I'm reeeeeaaally hoping the zeds are a big improvment. The rest I can take or leave really but the zeds man, the zeds!

[wild_man 4442]

1 - Lee Enfield with full Automatic

2 - much more bikes. I never found a bike in dayz. I walked to the shop today and I counted 31 bikes in my town on the way. every house has some bike.

3 - More sound effects when the bullets hits a players head. One time my dad bring home a video tape from work just with executions on it. I wish I could play it for you so you see listen the sounds when a bullet hits the mans head.

[RedDogMT 41]

1. Zombie movement: Fix zombie movement and attacks through walls and objects

2. Inventory system: Make it more intuative and add more checks to remedy item loss issues

3. Zombie animations: More frames, less twitchy

Honorable Mentions

4. Gas tanks: Limit gas in tanks (some empty)

5. Car Parts: Make car part spawns rare. Players must remove car parts from spawned vehicles with a toolbox. Increase slots needed to carry car parts.

6. Fatigue system: Slower run speed when fatigued (but not as quick to tire as Arma 3)

7. Bleeding: Remove blood fountain and make bleeding on the player model more subtle. Use an overlay where the edges of the screen pulse red while bleeding.

8. Knockout: Haze screen when knocked out. Haze remains for 10 seconds after the character wakens.

I know. I know...you asked for three. :)

[SalamanderAnder (DayZ) 1747]

I would like the ability to spawn with another fresh spawn if they accept my invite. That is all. I'm tired of trying to meet my friend for over an hour when he doesn't even know the difference between East and West and I'm getting shot at in Elektro. That is all.
