Bunch of Good Features

Recommended Posts

Hello! I've been playin DayZ for few days now and I tried to come up with some new ideas that may blend into the current game. Some of them may have been discussed before, although I tried to search for them if they have been suggested.

 

So, here is the list:


Contamination

 

You could contaminate wells, small ponds or even water bottles with zed blood/other deadly chemicals, lasts 15 to 60 Minutes or more. Drinking from contaminated source would rapidly kill you unless you use antibiotics. Water Purification Tablets could be used on bottles (and in large amounts even in wells)?

To check if the Pond or Well is contaminated, you'd have to take small taste/smell or take a example of it with some sort of test (obtainable item).

Canned Food Feature

Dent/Chipped/Minorly Damaged Canned Food may no longer be edible as the air may get in it(true). Simply a risk to eat them.. Perhaps, some of the Canned food could be in this state especially once the Hunting/Cooking is implemented because we get more sources for food.

Crows / Seagulls

 

Black crows are common sight where ever is trash or anything to eat. I'd like to see them squawking in abandoned cities and dumps/landfills. Perhaps one more additional food source for hunting while not the most "high" quality meat, quality may vary from  "contagious" to "edible".

Seagulls should be somewhat seen especially at the shores. If fishing is ever implemented, they'll definately create the right mood. :)

 

Rotten Animal Carcasses

 

There should be some rotten animal carcasses in wild as the times are quite fitting for that.

 

Disguising

 

Taken from the Walking Dead series, but wouldn't  it be brilliant if you could avoid zeds temporarily by covering yourself with their blood. They wouldn't recognize you as human for a while. Perhaps the effect of it would drop overtime and make zeds become more aware of you again. Of course it shouldn't become too convenient.

 

Local City Maps

Every city would have chance to spawn local city maps that lets you view the city/village and its nearby area. I am aware of DayZ Internet Maps, but it ain't that cool. :)

 

Breast/Shoulder Badges

 

There has been some discussion how recognize your ally or friend, perhaps these badges would work that out, they could be customizeable in your character creation OR just plainly lootable and then you modify them.

Radio Atmosphere Features

 

This wouldn't be controlled by player in ANY way. It would be more like atmosphere to certain houses/cars where radio's have been left on since apocalypse. Example:

You go near police car and it triggers a broadcast from radio that where some guy/girl is looking for other survivors while being very scared.. Perfect for atmosphere, right?

Or you go to house where there is emergency broadcast from outside world describing the situation where you are in. Stuff like that. :)

 

Plain Map/Paper

 

If you have pen and this Plain Map/Paper, you could draft down the current area where you are located into it. Imagine if we would split the Whole Map into 12 pieces for example.

You happen to be in one of those pieces and you decide to take action onto the Plain Paper (if you have Pen on hand) and "Draft the Area". After this you would select the Plain Paper on your hand and go to 1st Person mode, and you would see that the piece you are in is now mapped/visible to you. This could be considered as "Mapping" and the changes are permanent into the Paper, ex. someone could shoot you and be happy for the map you have drawn for him.

 

Signs/Large Paper

 

If you have paper and pen, you could draw message to this and lift it up, ex. Your character would be holding a sign or Large Paper between his two hands which consists of words "Don't shoot!".


---

Thats about all of it for now :) Feel free to discuss.

Nice, but with the canned food idea it kinda ruins the point of fresh food

 

How so? I think he is saying that canned food should have the possibility of making you sick when the can is not in "Pristine" condition. This would mean that you need to cook all food to make sure it is safe to eat.

Ehh with the drawing stuff, you would see many penises around.

For the sign/paper? I guess so If you had free hands for it :P But, it could be limited to use of words and only couple words in 1 line.
