Some Basic Ideas

[bravokilo17 0]

i have a couple of basic ideas that i think would make the game much better:

(edit added new idea)

 

- Disable server selection, allow players to choose between hardcore and regular, and how full you want the server then have the program choose the best server, then when you die have it choose another surver this way it increases the value of life, completely stops your friends from taking your gear and meeting you at a spawn point and giving it back to you, and especially when tents and building come online will prevent someone from putting all of their items in a backpack dropping it then dying and coming back to the same spot.

 

- make it so the mic is always active. that way you get rid of the people who use skype to bypass giving away your position and makes it more realistic so if your breathing to hard or talking to a friend the zombies can hear you and so can other players it creates a more immersive atmosphere amd is an effective compromise for the people who dont want scannign software to kill skype or vent.

 

- make an option so that you can prove if you are military (such as sending an email from a .mil email address for US military) and have people who are military start with different gear maybe start with cargo pants or start with a knife or empty canteen.

 

- allow more in depth character creation to make a stronger attachment to your survivor.

 

- desalinization, have a water filter that would allow players to desalinate the coastal water and make it safe to drink.

 

-more realistic timing (a human can survive three hours in exreme enviroment without shelter, three days without water, three weeks without food) but you can die of starvation in just a couple of hours? either make food/water times more realistic or faster server timing (4x?) to make it a more realistic simulation

 

those are just some suggestion i have from my 30 hours of playing i love this game and i think rocket is doing great work.

Because no one plays with their friends anyway.

Because it's not just a game. It has to be as realistic as possible.

I've heard of this rule. It doesn't need to be in DayZ. Not a lot of people survive for three weeks of gametime. 7*3*24=504. That's 504 hours in game before you would die of starvation.

 

Everyone would be looking for guns and start deathmatching only to stop after 72 hours when they need water...

And so that you hear everything I talk about with my family or friends. Well played, NSA.. well played.

We're proud of you, Son. The army is proud of you too. And the nation is proud of you too. But that's about it, stop begging for free stuff.

Tell me more about how long you can survive running up and down the hills in full sun while carrying 8-9kg on your back + an axe and a rifle without drinking.

The server and mic ideas win the most retarded ideas so far.
