Ideas on Future Updates

I think they should fix the zombies so they don't just stay on the ground floor and walkthrough walls/doors. Combat logging should be fixed. Some way of moving around faster would be nice but I think it'd be pushing it because the game came out literally a few weeks ago, Vehicles won't be here any time soon. Dead body sliding should be fixed, along with putting in a shotgun that can load slugs. Another thing they have to kinda sort out is if you handcuff someone while they're laying down they can't break out, and you can't use a key to get them out.

But the number one thing they should fix is the Zombies, adding more and fixing their coding so they don't walk through walls and doors. They should add hordes of them on the main road because most of the time you're running for maybe 10 minutes and don't run into anything which can be a little boring from time to time. If they add more of them it would change your style of playing and people wouldn't just be running from town to town. The airfield should be loaded with zombies that way people aren't just getting loads of gear and changing servers to get more. It would also be cool if they added legless zombies that crawl because you won't just be looking for standing players.

The second thing they should fix is the flash lights and the HDR settings with Gamma at night. The night is way to dark they should have some kind of thing where your character's eyes adjust to the dark slightly after a certain period because the night in DayZ is way to dark, this is just my opinion. The night servers are really annoying because the flashlights shoot through everything and give your position away and if you don't use the HDR + Gamma settings you can't do anything.

Another cool thing they should add is some sort of log book or recorder where you can record yourself through direct chat and leave it for other people to listen to.

Combat logging is another big issue because some people don't understand the point of realism in games. I really don't appreciate people starting a fire fight then when I have the upper hand on them they bail out and switch servers or wait until you've left the area. Same with changing servers and getting more gear from the same area you just looted.
 

 

I do realize this is an Alpha and I'm not hating on anyone. Just stating my opinions and curious about other people's opinions. :)

you do realize they are going to fix all of these issues right? If you look at the bug tracker forums, they have been acknowledged and currently working on these issues. So this post is kinda of useless. You bought an alpha version of the game, and they warned of these bugs before you bought and you "accept" them everytime you launch the game by clicking I understand

I said that at the end -_- I can delete the post if you'd like, but I do realize I bought an alpha of a game.

But, did you realize that everything you've mentioned (other than the recorder idea) has been posted hundreds of times in the past 2 weeks?

 

There's a growing number of "first posts" here from people with grand ideas about things that have been discussed to death so you get responses like the one above. 

 

If you look around the forum you'll see that those issues are being addressed in whatever order the dev's decide to tackle them.
