Two things that I think would be cool

[Genki Dama 49]

1. The ability to gut Zombies and put the contents on your body. This would allow you to travel into a city without aggroing all the zeds. It would work well with the current zed perception skills, which seem to over 9000! Anywho a downside could be that the player can not eat food or they WILL become sick and they will therefore Have to search for a clean water source (lake or a water pump)

2. Flasks could be introduced, which allows the player to gain their heat back and also take away some of their thirst. A downside could be the rarity of the kind of drop. Like out of every 50 houses you will come across one.

Just what I think would be neat editions to spice up the gameplat ;)

This should be in the DayZ Suggestions section.

Anyway, I think features like that will make the game far too easy. If you were planning on entering a town you would just kill a Z before entering, cover your body with guts and stroll through the town giving no fucks.

Elements like these are too cliché and need to be kept in various zombie TV shows and movies; i don't think it would be good for gameplay.

Also the flasks I think would be a little useless. First off you would have to heat up liquid to put inside it which would mean making a fire, but you could just make a fire to warm up anyway and not need a flask? Also, I think heatpacks are a good enough solution to the temperature dropping.

Did you read the downside at all? They can't eat food or they WILL get sick. Plus they could add a feature that even if you crouch run past a zombie, it would come and check you out and then it may attack you.

Of course this is only a suggestion, though I do think that it fits in with the realism factor :/

Yes, but then how do you get the guts off you? Plus, you could just eat before you put the guts on and you would not have to eat for a long long time.

Yes I understand it's a suggestion, that's why I'm trying to explain what else would have to be done to implement it.

You didn't read my first post too well, I explained how they would get it off -_-

I read your entire post. This would definitely make the game too easy. It's already easy enough to get around the zeds. Even if there are downsides to it, it still wouldn't make a difference.

As for the flask, this doesn't seem like too bad of an idea. I'm assuming the flasks would contain some strong form of alcohol. A cool thing about that would be maybe when you drink it, your character actually gets a little tipsy, causing some blur on the screen and maybe some stumbling. It could be somewhat of an emergency drink, or something you drink when you're with some friends sitting around a camp fire talking about your previous/next plan.
