What I would ABSOLUTELY LOVE!!: Better sounds

Sounds on par with JSRS or ACE would be brilliant, the stock sounds are just not up to standards, guns sound weak.

I agree. The sounds do need to be made better or fixed. I think that this should really be a priority over adding new things to the game. I'd really like to see the zombie sounds actually have distance. Instead of as soon as you're in range they sound like they're right on top of you.

I also agree with the weapons. A lot sound way too weak, and a lot sound way too loud. Go rent the guns from this game and go to a gun range and shoot them. Record some sounds. See how loud they actually are.

Otherwise I would really like to see bugs fixed before new features. Look at minecraft, for the most part Mojang would fix bugs before adding new content. If they did add new content though they also fixed any previous bugs beforehand. I just think this would make the game smoother for many people, and it would make the updates better IMHO.

Its a wonderful game and I really do look forward to seeing it grow. Perhaps more destructible environments like in battlefield 3 or like how you can blow up the control tower at the airport. More enter able buildings (or all buildings). More fortifications, as well as protection for them when you go offline. It would make it more worth your time to stay on one server and protect your stuff rather than jump from server to server. People could set up colonies, safe havens. It would also give them more of a reason to stick together, rather than become bandits.

I love the sandbox aspect so PLEASE keep it like EVE:online where the game is harsh. This keeps a lot of losers and little kids out of the game because they either don't understand it or can't handle it. For instance EVE: online's average player age is 27. That means a generally more mature playerbase.

I also think the zombies run too erradically. I dont understand why they have to zig zag. Between how fast they run and server lag this zig zagging just looks stupid and really serves no purpose. Just have them run straight at you. Simple. Done.

Lastly I would like to see easily created servers. I don't understand why you're so stingy about servers. If people want to pay for their own server and have it passworded so only their friends can play, let them. As well as LAN games. I for one would love to set up a lan game over hamachi with just my friends. you don't NEED the bandit aspect in the game, as there's zombies which can be just as hazardous if one isn't careful. The people playing your game are your customers, they paid for it, don't be so resrtictive. I know its just alpha but still, you can't even do a DayZ match by yourself or use the gametype in Arma's editor.

Just my two cents. Thank you for the great game keep up the good work.

At first I didn't know what I thought about starting with nothing, but then
