Some interesting ideas I had

[DuckimusMaximus 1]

Hi there I've put a fair amount of time in DayZ, been playing it since the mod, and bought it the day it went into early access.

With servers becoming more and more stable and persistent I had some ideas on some more ways players can interact with the world.

I usually play as a hermit, and only really attack players when I have to. I tend to follow someone from 2-300m away and get them to take me to a tent camp.

 

What I would love to be able to do is to lure zombies to spots using freshly killed animals/players.

So I can trap small groups of people when it's just me versus a clan.

 

Poison a water supply with a rotting zombie carcass.

To deny other players the use of the water supply.

 

Put a landmine, or handgrenade under a player's corpse so that the next person to loot it blows up.

 

Have corpses of players stay in the world for at least 90 minutes, so they can be used as lures or traps.

Zombies should be attracted to the scent of a freshly killed player.

 

The ability to carry a corpse. So we can hide the fact that someone died, or lure players in an ambush with potential loot.

I tend to stay away from areas with dead players in them that have kit on them as I usually expect there to be a sniper on me.

 

Traps for players and zombies.

 

I'd love to be able to whistle at players, or shout over longer distances. Perhaps add in an alarm whistle.

Maybe bring back the yell channel from the mod so stuff you say gets amplified over a further distance.

If possible I'd also like sound to propogate further depending on terrain features.

 

The radio is underused, the few times I got one working while on a busy server I never had a response.

 

Also please for the next vehicle patch add in a bicycle. I'd also love to see a moped those are pretty common in europe and really easy to fix, and maintain.

they are adding a bullhorn so you whistling dixie will happen. Carrying corpses i agree with its something folks would do though would be nice if we could burn them or had to dispose of them because of the disease factor. the grenade thing yeah why not i don't go near corpses or try and loot them so that trap won't fuck me up anytime soon(If something is to good to be true it always is)and even if i was dumb enough for that trick so be it good on you.poisoning water supply thats cool I thought thats where the human defecating thing was going to come into play honestly, i thought dumbasses were going to be able to shit in the ponds and stuff making it like the nile but corpses are cool too. the thing thats good about these suggestions is there are ways to negate the effects of what your wanting so if your smart or atleast cautious you won't be had by the tricks.
