List of small things which should make DayZ even more realistic and fun

[vapiscz (DayZ) 2]

Hey guys, I have whole list of small suggestions. Some of them are pretty easy to make and some of them depengind on engine, so devs maybe won't able to make them. Anyway, there is my list of things I'd love to see in Dayz:

 

1. Blocking doors with chair, table, cabinet; double doors with stuffs like axe, rifle, baseball bat and so

2. You should first create a weapon slot to wear it - like you put a rope on an axe or rifle and then you can put it on your back. Otherwise you're just able to hold it in your hands. If you use damage rope, you cand even drop your weapons while you're walking or more probably while you're running.

3. You should have option to wear two close range weapons or two rifles on your back, not just one and one. You have two shoulders, it should be your choice.

4. Slot for "middle size" weapons (machete, sawed-off shotgun, MP5 and so) under a backpack or on a leg.

5. Sidegun slot - should have some kind of holster on legs or belt.

6. Combat belt with small slots for stuffs like handcuffs, knife, weapon holster, baton or ammuniton and so.

7. Disarmament with a shooting or close range attack on arm.

8. Shooting through different materials with different ammunition - for example with arrows and .22 just through windows, with bigger caliber through wood and tinny doors. And maybe with biggest caliber even through some walls.

9. You should be able to safe at least some arrows after you shoot it (especially when you shoot it in soft materials like ground, wood or flesh).

10. Since you're able to craft arrows for bow, you should be abel to craft arrows for crossbow.

11. Tie with rope or wire. Even bind to something (timber, tree, and so) would be great.

12. Uncuff with more gear - handcuffs with lockpick, mayebe pliers; wire with pliers and knife, rope with knife or even just untie (but it should be take much longer).

13. Execution with hanging - all you need is just a tree or timber, rope or wire, and, of course a victim.

14. Suicide with hanging.

15. Crafting fishhook with wire and pliers.

16. Destroying fences with pliers.

1. Barricading is work in progess. Locking doors is just the initial implementation.

2. With the clunky mechanics as they are, I don't think that's a good idea. If we are able, at some point, to do basic stuff (drinking, eating something, holding binoculars) one handed, so we don't have to drop the gun to the ground every time we do the smallest thing, it might be an option. As it is now, it'd just be incredibly annoying.

3. Gotta think a little bit about balance, even in an "anti-game" like DayZ. Carrying a second long gun in a backpack was overpowered as fuck in DayZ mod, this would be even worse. So no, I hope this doesn't come in.

4. Again: Balance. Weapons will take slots in in your inventory. So you have to consider if you want to stuff that SMG into your backpack, or rather carry more food and medical supplies. If you have dedicated slots of those weapons, it would again become overpowered.

5. YES. A thousand times yes. I have begged for more holster options a bunch of times, as the chest holster is completely useless once you find a vest. A belt holster would be awesome. The devs said it's not coming because a belt holster would clip with clothing...which I think is a bunch of bullshit, as literally every item of clothing or gear is glitching somewhere....try wearing a Smersh vest with a Gorka jacket, you can't even see the harness anymore cause it completely glitches into the jacket.

6. If they're reasonably rare, I assume it might work. A belt line would be a nice addition at any rate. Could have different belts with different storage options.

7. I don't think the engine offers that possibly, because items basically get attached to you.

8. Bullet penetration was always a bit iffy in RV engine games. ArmA 3 has got some of it, but really only with the .50.

9. I believe this should come at some point. Makes sense. Was also in the mod, so yeah, I'd assume that'll come back.

10. Crafting arrows for an xbow isn't that easy, as they have to be a least reasonably straight and solid, not something you'd achive out of twigs and branches that often.

11. Even the handcuffs are barely used anymore..people just shoot each other. Don't think we need rope and wire, as well.

12. A redundant mechanic. You can easily break out of handcuffs without ANY item.

13+14. Again a pointless mechanic, I think, that would take work and time.

15. I haven't ever seen anybody fish, to be honest...I tried it once when the feature came out. Just way too much of a hassle. Not to mention that you need even more stuff than you need for hunting.

16. The engine doesn't support that. Fences are static objects on the map, you can't really modify them live, they'd have to be completely destroyed.

14. Suicide with hanging.

 

 

Holy shit. I'd never do this with fire arms being available.

 

Number 13: In real life it is used instead of a quick headshot to make the victim suffer additionaly. What sense would this have in a video game?

 

Brrrb. The holy hanging stuff is just too disgusting. More than decapitating or shooting.

Shoe sizes.

Removing shoes and decreasing the sound you fucking make when you walk or run. But the effects of not having shoes still works.
