Just a thought, More Food

[LeOverlord 150]

So I've noticed higher tier players like to chill and locations with multiple military loot spawns; NW Airfield, Starry, NE Airfield.

And I just had some idea's for more loot for these military locations

____________________________________________________________

MRE - They could heal 500 or 1000 blood and be uncommon

Uniforms - Mostly likely it would be Russian or CDF uniforms at military bases

Weapons - Vss, most probable will disagree since this would just become the ultimate bandit weapon being silenced. The Saiga, the M1014 is here and I believe the Saiga would be nice to have as well. Also would like to see the Sa-58 make an appearance, possibly the standard version and the decked out camo one with the ACOG ( obviously the decked out one would be less likely to be found )

Vehicles - Not sure if it can be added but, I would really like to see the SUV make an appearance, make it a rare find at military instillation's, reasoning behind it that it was a general's base vehicle possibly.

Other Vehicle - This one needed its own area because I love it so much. GAZ-3937 "Vodnik," I would love to see this make it into DayZ. Not only does it carry up to 10 people , for all those sociable survivors, but it's also a boat... Yes the darn thing floats, that way it could be the ultimate ground vehicle and the second best vehicle next to the Helicopter. ( If it comes back ) I am aware that the vanilla game has a weapon on it, I personally wouldn't want you to be able to use it, but maybe make it usable since it would be the best ground vehicle. The helicopter did have two 240's on it after all.

____________________________________________________________

This is just my opinion, this whole idea train thing started with just asking for MRE's. Free to agree or disagree, but I would just like to throw my 2 cents in since DayZ is still in its early stages where such requests might actually happen.

Other than that, thanks for reading ( if you bothered ) and be gentle..

Its my first forum post here.. :blush:

I approve of this. Id love to snack on a MRE :D

Those are some pretty neat suggestions, I'd have to back all of them except for the VSS. I'd hate to see the noob slayage that would go on with that thing in game.

And yes, we definitely need the Vodnik. :)

Honestly I believe that the more weapon variety there is, the better the game will end up being.

Simply lower the chance to find military grade weapons, increase the varitey of such weapons.

This would also create a scarcity in ammunition, thus making these high grade weapons that

much more valuable.

No, this will further encourage the camping and DeathMatch feel of the bases as people will just fight over it and camp, not even utilizing the rest of the map.

No matter what happens, eventually the Military Installations will be where everyone congregates. It will be where military grade weapons are located along with other useful items; NVG, GPS, Rangefinders. Is it unfortunate that the rest of the map seems, I don't know, underutilized? Yes, yes it is, but why would I want to go to random town A that spawns canned beans and a double-barrel when I have the ability to hunt and cook my own better food and have the chance of getting nicer weapons then the civilian ones. Most players can't make it right to military installations right away anyways and have to loot barns and the such to make it there. It's a gradual build, and what I'm suggesting is simply add more weapons and make ammunition much more scarce. My suggestions are end tier items.

You want more utilization of the map, maybe Rocket will decide that the the NW Airfield will have more tools and weapons, and the NE airfield will have more ammo and supplies. Forcing players to move around and stop being so static and "camp" spawns with high grade loot.

But your free to your opinion, thanks for feedback :D

If you have access to military weapons then you should also have A hunting knife Matchbox and hatchet, instead of sitting there camping waiting for other players go hunt for your food. don't turn it into a campfest. In that regard, get rid of the food in that area altogether, force the players to go hunting rather than just sit on their asses waiting for food to respawn. Unfortunately your suggestion would only make matters worse.

I agree with this, the simple fact that everyone likes the NWAF so much makes it almost not worth going to. I myself, once I have sufficient weapons, avoid it. Searching the towns for a broken down vehicle. I enjoy roaming. I also enjoy seeing other survivors ,I rarely ever murder, I enjoy the idea that I'm not the only one out there. But as much I has hate the place, I will always make trips to the NWAF. Either for more ammunition or a chance at getting NVG.

Quick added note

-----------------

I just feel necessary that in order for others to believe that my suggestions are less of me simply wanting "uber" gear in order to "pwn" all the "Newbs" that start playing. What I currently want from this game is to find a a broken vehicle, fix it, then I want to go continue raiding towns until I find a few tents, tank traps, and barbed wire. Then I want to find new players and recruit them in a sense. Basically I want to make a tent city somewhere on the map. I want to start a settlement. And there will always be bandits, just as there are criminals now, so I will need some high power military weapons to protect my dream tent city. That is my dream at the moment.

Easily the most random and off topic thing posted thus far...
