The 'Cure'

[rovenkursk 4]

Hello, I have been doing some research on the dayz forums and found many many complaints about a few things. Some are bugs, others are gameplay problems, others about the arma 2 engine. I have been playing for quite a while now and noticed some issues that need to be fixed before adding more content. I have one very simple fix for many of these issues.

The first problem i saw was the common reconnect and get full ammo back issue. People are asking to make ammunition more rare. Although i know a fix for this will be implemented in the next update, but what i wanted to point out was how many people (including me) can find ammunition just about anywhere and waste it without any issues.

The second issue is bandit killing. I know, it's part of the game and I honestly like the way it is. Most people have literally nothing to do after you have your camp, a vehicle or two and a bunch of military grade weapons. There needs to be something for these people to do instead of camping somewhere and trying to get the most player kills.

My idea: Nerf spawns.

Yes, the spawns need to be "fixed" (even if they aren't really broken). Think about it, since when do people keep an ak47 in a fire station? How come you can find ammunition for military weapons in a grocery store? I feel like a predator and not a prey. After one trip to a fire station I already have an ak74 and I go player hunting.

Oh and my favorite, Deer stands.

Last time I checked, hunters kill deers with a shotgun or a low tier rifle, Not an m16a2 grenade launcher. (I realized the 4 deer stands near balota are military)

There are 2 barracks and around 3 military tent camps (I think). These should have the big guns, not fire stations and not the deer stands. People should hang on to their winchester or double barrel shotgun for much longer, not pounce at any military weapon they can find and then find ammunition for it just about anywhere. On top of this, it adds a lot of realism.

This is to slow down the game a bit, it also adds a hopeless feeling when playing the game while holding on to a redneck's old rusty shotgun that you found in his barn with barely any ammunition.

Easy fix, isn't it?

I guess I agree. If everyone pretty much has to run around with crappy weapons, you'll consider twice, before engaging in a firefight.

And as you said, more end game content might keep players from getting bored and not just pvp for that reason. But you know, this is still alpha and the game has still a long way to go. So don't expect too much from the next few patches. I'm sure, rocket is aware of all this.

Is rocket really aware of this? I have never seen anyone else notice these weird spawns. Anyways it's not like this is a complicated update, this would just be changing a few numbers here and there.

I agree. Our abilities to gear up super fast might be an issue.

Keep in mind, they may be called deer stands, really all it is just a look out tower. Could be for deers, could be for humans.

The only issue I see with this, PvP will just start with lower grade weapons. If all I really have a good chance of finding is a winchestor, then I'm going to start shooting people with a winchestor.

Like i said, the PVP is great the way it is. This is exactly what I was thinking how people will continue to fight but this will extend the amount of time you can spend on one single life. Deer stands are for hunting deer (or other animals), well that's what they are for in the real world.

This would also be more interesting for the realism aspect.
