My Humble Suggestions #2

[DKR 104]

A continuation from my first suggestions here

 

Shouting Chat Mode

Instead of just close Direct chat, implement a "shouting" type chat range...that just has a much longer range than Direct chat.....if you need to holler to your friends across the field. Or troll the streets of Cherno.

 

Needle and Thread

Use fabric (from torn up shirts and other clothing) and a needle to add pouches and pockets to your pants or shirts for extra inventory space....in increments of 2 squares, and up to 4 additonal squares for pants, 2 for shirts, 4 for jackets...8 for backpacks....roughly. Something like that.

 

Smell Text Messages

One of our senses that doesn't get enough help in video games. "I smell my wounds"..."I smell a campfire nearby"..."I smell salt"..."I smell a dead body", or something

 

Footwear Affect Speed

Allow for a small variation (nothing drastic) in run/sprint speed depending on the type of shoe you're wearing.

 

Face and Head items

Ski masks, berets, head bands (not athletic, maybe bandana) hocket mask, jungle hats, facepaint, bandana mask, etc

 

Belts

Perhaps have utility belts that add small amount of inventory space. nothing huge...just a few spots to store 1-square sized items...batteries...maps...bullets...compass.

 

Bandage Maintenance

Have bandages appear as actual items that are "equipped" at the top of the inventory screen for a certain amount of time. Whatever amount of time that is....require the bandage to be replaced periodically...couple of times would do. Bandages need replaced IRL...maybe it'd be fun to implement this in the game. No more "fire and forget" bandage usage?

 

Response from Trauma

Stagger animation from being shot or hit with melee weapon.

 

Character Creation

More hair styles, hair colors, and face types. Nothing crazy...just a small expansion.

 

Books

Get rid of them. No value. Wastes a loot spawn.

 

Tents

To fit the spirit of being a "civilian survivor" in the zombie apocalypse, tents should not all conveniently be camouflage. Tents should be various colors...perhaps the camo ones can be rare loot in military structures?

 

Other

> Craftable rafts?

> Craftable flags?

Good
Good
I think this is already a thing?
Yes please
Sure
Good idea, seems a bit tedious.
Maybe
Sure, as long as its kept with the game style, no green hair and ultra-white skin please.
Disagree, adds immersion with very little expense to processing power.
Probably already in the works.
