Bandits and the solution to snipers camping.

[amudkipz 46]

If you want to be a thiefing bandit you gotta have a reason at least. No bandages painkillers or flashlights.

Why do you spawn with nothing? Realism, bandits arent people who planned ahead but rather didn't plan for disasters, now they have nothing to start with and resort to being bandits for supplies. (brand new players start as survivors)

Rifles (ie snipers/long guns) should be basically never silenced, if you find a weapon the chance of it having a silencer should be at least 10,000:1.

Silenced pistols and smgs should have a 1,000:1 chance.

Weapons should have an increase to visibility via muzzle flashes promoting the use of quiter less visible melee weapons.

Why add these things?

In real life snipers dont sit still, they go stake out a position, shoot the target and move. If they dont move they significantly increase the chance of giving away their position to countersnipers and in the case of dayz zombies. Shooting your sniper rifle multiple times (unless you happen upon an incredibly rare silenced variant) should be a massive flag for zombies to come and eat your brains (unless you have people with you to kill them as they approach).

Limit characters to joining at most 5 servers (allowing servers to be re-chosen each week so people can join different groups of people.) If all 5 chosen are full you can then go "abroad" to a different server. If you want to be a dickhead, people should know who you are and shoot on sight. (via wanted posters or by word of mouth you will gain noteriety)

At the moment I don't believe any of this can be implemented, as for bandits spawning with nothing, that would be horrible due to zombies chance to make you bleed on first hit is quite high.

Aswell a better deal with weapons may be actually making guns in general more rare then as abundant as they are now.

With that being said it would make all guns more rare aswell making the already rare guns harder to obtain rather than seeing many others with all the good weapons.

Though to implement this there would have to be a melee slot, aswell more melee weapons.

Aswell as fixing zombie movement, basically this would have to be an near the end of the alpha change.

But it would supposedly be worth it as all guns would be precious, even the Makarov.

Would supposedly promote working together if the zombies difficulty are upped aswell.

Needs more tweaking, but could make the game more, harder when it comes to the zombie aspect instead of it being piss easy atm.
