My suggestions

Recommended Posts

After playing DayZ for a very long time pretty much since it was first announced on armaholic these are my suggestions on things to add and improve on.

1. I think players should be able to wipe towns clean of zombies. Yes I know there has already been a post made about this but it's a great idea. After the zombie population in a certain town has been wiped out the zombies should then spawn outside the town and try to re capture it. This would result in making the game easier for people who have just spawned. For example you just spawned in Cherno and its clean of zombies. You have plenty of time to go around to people find out where you are and so on. Another bonus of this is that it gives the opportunity for players to trade. Communities could be rebuilt inside cities and civilization could begin to rebuild itself. Players would have to stand guard around the cities and cities would have to be fortified. Basically a safe heaven would eventually be made. One downfall of this feature however is although it may appear a safe heaven and a market for some players it may appear as a bee hive of loot for bandits who would just sit around the town and snipe survivors.

2. I also suggest including some type of radio feature where players can communicate over long distances, something like ACRE, but have it integrated within the game so you don't all have to be on TS in order for it to work. It would be great for survivors and for bandits. Survivors could plan where to meet their friends and alert other survivors of any helicopter crash sites that are found (if they are nice enough.) Also survivors could use it to alert other survivors of areas with bandits. One downside to this is that I can guess it would be very hard to script and make and the Dev team has better things to focus on. However it can be considered as it be more immersible for the players.

3. Another suggestion I have is a big one. I think servers should have increased player capacity if possible. I am sick of having to scout for servers with my friends all the time and finding one that has 20/24 and it being filled up almost instantly. At most it would be very nice to have servers that hold 90 players or so. Would mean large groups can join servers without instantly filling the server up.

4. A final suggestion I have is to add a option which allows you to change grass layer. Many players struggle to run ArmA and DayZ forces you to have a grass layer even at minimal settings. I know it would mean some players can see other survivors through the grass but over distances of 500+ with Very Low settings grass is gone anyway so you can do that now too. It would improve frame rate for a lot of guys with low end graphics cards. However I am not suggesting we should have changeable view distance, please don't implement that. I'd be very unhappy when I get sniped or spotted by a guy who has the PC to run DayZ with 10K view distance.

Anyways that's the only suggestions I can find. I didn't go into too much detail as some of the suggestions have already been discussed. But all I have to say is congrats Rocket and the rest of the Dev team you are doing a great job keep it up :D.
