The real survival DayZ

[DrChaos 0]

First of all sorry for my english.

 

---You dont need to read this part---

 

DayZ... I like this game, this was the first in my "life" what came out from my dreams. An apocaliptic survival open world with zombies and its multiplayer. Lets analyse this sentence. "An apocaliptic survival": you have barely nothing, the civilization is destroyed, but the survivors can use the things of the lost world to survive and build the new one, and you are one of them. You must eat, drink, keep yourself warm, etc, and you can do it in the wild and/or by looting the ruins of the old world. "Open world": you dont need to follow a storyline, a questline, or anything else, you can do anything you want, and anything you can, its open, you are free. "With zombies": its too easy and boring just survive the hunger, thirst, cold, and diseases? Be happy, you must fight with the hordes of the living dead too! "And its multiplayer": you are not alone, there are more survivors of the apocalypse, and they are not just programmed NPC-s, they are real people! You can fight with or (mostly) against real players.

 

At the begin, I only missed the real builder part. Of course there was lot of things which ones was a little bit annoying (spawn snipers, vehicle hoarders, too strong weapons (as50...), bugs, more bugs, and even more bugs), but beside them i really enjoyed DayZ. I was in the loot/die circle and I knew that if I die most of the times I will lose everything I had, but that was not bad for me, it was only a challenge to stay alive, to survive. And than I was at that point, the "what to do now" point. So i stopped playing "the game of my life". Then I came back, and there was the Epoch and OverPoch, and it was amazing, there was the real builder part what I missed from this game. Not like the buildings in Origins, no, you can build custom building, freely as you want! With my friends we built little shelters, house parks, and massive bases. We fought wars against other player groups, finally we fought with armed helicopters, tank-like land vehicles, heat-seeking rockets, as50/m107/lapua in everyones hands, if we wanted something we made an AI mission, sold their weapons/vehicles, and with the money we bought anything we want. And after weeks when we fought an other battle, I was in a hill sniping our enemies base. After some minutes I heard a zombie and i tought: "f**k you zombie, not now", with my silenced pistol I killed the zombie and went back to sniping. The zombie was only an annoying thing in a zombie survival game! I felt myself in Battlefield Zombieland... not in DayZ.

 

---Here starts the part which is matters---

 

I want my real survival DayZ, and I need your help fellow survivors. If there is any ArmA2OA DayZ mod server which have the parameters what I will write down, than just give me its IP. If there are nothing like this, i want to disguss a DayZ mod/server suggestion, which one can have the real survival DayZ experience, the "apocaliptic survival open world with zombies multiplayer game" experience.

 

So here is my list (feel free to give more ideas, or criticize any of it):

 

- Epoch-like building system: cause I love it, its a little bit like lego, and u should find any building supplies in loot, except vaults

- no NPCs! so no traders, no AI missions, no AI patrols, etc, EXCEPT the zombies: you cant interact with them as with real people, and NPC traders are so bad for the DayZ experience, you do not need to find the supplies, for example, if you have too much engine-parts, you can sell them and buy the beans you want, ok, its easy, and practical, but its not part of an apocaliptic world, except if u trade with an other survivor (and hope that he/she or his/her friend will not kill you before or after the trade)

- no extra buildings: or with extra buildings, make loot more rare

- barricades and vehicle-wrecks on roads can be dismantled, and it gives a random vehicle part: like in Epoch

- better zombies: I want them to be as a threat, not just an annoying part of the game, so I suggest to give them more blood-point, or make them invincible except for the headshots, and/or, if possible (without bugs) let them run inside buildings too, maybe with these ideas less zombies should spawn and/or the zombies should spawn slower after killing them

- zombies spawn if a player is 1000m close to their spawn point, and even if that player is in a vehicle: cause zombie spawn mostly tells that there are a player, so if zombies will spawn from this far and even when you are in a vehicle, you will dont know that there are an other playr or these zombies are spawned bacause of you

- clothes with backpacks: make every cloth (skin) to show the backpack (even the ghuillie), or get rid of which ones arent show it: cause a greater backpack should be a disadvantage in visibility

- better hunger, thirst: maybe you should need more time to get hungry or thirsty but u should need more food/drink to fill your hunger/thirst meter, and you should not be able to eat/drink as much as you want at a time

- no vehicle tow and lift: just because dont make things easy

- auto bloodregen, no self bloodbag, and food doesnt gives you blood: your blood regenerates automatically, if your wounds are clean, other players can use bloodbags to give you blood, but only once at a time, and food doesnt gives you any blood, so you must wait to heal up, or you need an other survivors help

- no debug monitor: you dont need to know that things, maybe only an FPS meter

- no traces, no death messages, no crosshair, no nameplates: its hardcore, I dont know about the 3rd person view, I think it can be available

- 8 or 12 hours between server restarts: maybe 4-6 hours day, and 4-6 hours night

- better humanity system and make it count: players should take care about their humanity, maybe everyone should start with 0 humanity, the bandits (-5000) should start with no gear after respawn, and the heroes (+5000) should start with extra gear after respawn, beside that you should get -humanity if you kill or hurt someone and you should get +humanity only for giving bloodbag, and by burying dead characters, but every player should get +humanity only once per server restarts for bloodbag-giving and for the bury, with this you cant be a hero with the "I-shot-you-than-bloodbag/bury-you-a-hundred-times" method

- original spawn: no halo spawn, no spawn select, you died, it must count

- woodcutting system: like in Epoch

- weight system: like in Epoch

- no smelting, no gold/silver/copper/tin/aluminium bars, no gems, no ore veins, no ammo supply crates (that random black boxes), no keymakers kit, no hotwire kit: cause you do not need them

- rare gps, rangefinder, and nightvision

I didn't read the whole list, however I agree with you. I know many of the things you said will be implemented eventually into the standalone, idk about continued mod updates though. I think they r done updating it. The standalone will be way more advanced eventually. I suggest that if you want a true survival experience, wait until the standalone has added more zombies and such and then buy it.

The mod is still being developed, 1.8.2 is currently awating approval by Hicks.
