crimsom 2 Posted July 17, 2012 Best game ive played in a long,long time i was really losing my intrest in gaming, i can see why the eve online devs are fucking hooked.aside from glitch monster spawns,desyncs and memory leaks im going to post some things which may or may not have been posted before.Quick Fixes + additions:-player models should differ having a hat and vest shouldent be mandatory. dayz database server should save charcter visual preferances. -lootable hats pants and shirts or if it isnt setup like that have lootable costumes.(half the time i cant tell who is who) ( police uniforms, millitary, civilian, maybe this will help lone players get to geather and poliece towns togeather.-allow fishing in ponds and make it chance based so newbies that get really hungry dont have to always risk their life for canned food. (maybe fishing nets aswell that give x ammount of fish per hour)-craftable bases/forts that are placed off grid collect wood and.... to build a base (bases can be burnt down with x ammount canns of gass and a match kit. (limit one to player bases dont despawn till 30 min after player x leaves the game.- an auto run function would be grand-more bicycles(citys should have at least 5-10 each) (mobility is quite rough off the start of the game- chain can fall off everyonce and a while to prevent bicycle abbuse)-more realistic non bullet based weapons such as crossbows, composit bows, sling shots, paintball guns(with rocks), bb guns.-4 hour day cycle and 3 hour night cycle (zombies only replenish at night this will help server loads and also allow players to take controll of towns for a couple hours and garason at night).-player cars should have to be hidden when logged off put a cammo/bush like tarp over your viechle that will allow players not to whore cars all for them selfs and leave nothing for the beginning players(lets the players know that there will be viechels available at least some where in the server even if extreemly hard to sniff out).-add a few caves to the map maybe sewers aswell-unique server events (helechopter crashes over radio when in a certain proximity)(zombie swarm rushes in citys)(cold flashes players have to get indoors or near a fire when it snows or huddle togeather)-server survivor rankings longer you live the higher you go on the score board will also let people know when serious survivors are in a game and give hard core players the ability to join a game knowing there are other well established survivors also works backwards letting newbies know when they have like minded new players starting out.-fire works? why not let people know your arround from long distances.-radios i think we are in need for some radios this has serious sand box ability ( find a radio in a building some on on the other end please help me?who knows wher it goes from there)-the game needs some reason for players to interact in meaning full fashion some sort of trading or service type trading maybe each charcter that is created can specify in a single direction for example (player-1 has chose the ability to fix jammed guns, player-2 has chose the ability to fix viecheles player -3 has chosen the ability to fletch bows from wood player -4 has the ability to purify water player -5 has chosen the ability do blood transfusions) have a list of like 20 diffrent experties that way people dont shoot everything on site because the majority of use the person you are shooting has you will recieve from their dead corpse)small gangs will have the advantage but in realife we use people for their skillsets and maybe some lone players will creat small gangs much easier with some sort of experties system in place.well there are some ideas i have from sitting here for 2 hours typing furiously and not spell checking . i could use a job so feel free to hire me. thanks and keep up the good work never be content! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
vision1776 42 Posted July 17, 2012 the player skillz idea makes sense. I like that idea alot. Add the skill to start fire without fire starters. Skill to gut and clean animals.Maybe after being around the players for so long the skillz get added to your character since you learned from them. I like that idea alot.What do you mean by auto run?Fishing should be more of an east coast and south coast thing. What are the chances that those ponds would have any fish? The server survivor ranking would be cool as well but not sure if that would be an easy add since Arma doesnt have anything like that to my knowledge.I like the idea of customuzable skins and is something I hope Arma 3 will introduce.Fire works are a cool addition. I dont think such items exist but something like a flare that shoots up when you light the item. I know there are already flares and granade launcher flares but a simple item that you light and creates a flare in the sky would be cool.More bikes and more vehicles in general would be nice.As far as the caves and underground chambers, that could be something they add in arma 3 but Arma 2 doesnt support anything like it. Would be awesome though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
vier0hr 21 Posted July 17, 2012 There are crossbows, and there are other clothes in game, but more would be nice.Other ideas are good, but would have to be implemented later maybe beta or standalone. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
crimsom 2 Posted July 17, 2012 (edited) -alarm trip mines creating a huge ammount of sound and scareing the shit out of random people also letting you know their position. (link to smoke gernade, bear horn, flair, glowsticks. """" NO EXPLOSIVES"""""-mirrior for signaling people faraway with a lens flair.-smoke signals from a xtra large fire-metal detector for finding crossbow bolts or misc crafting materials.-head mounted flashlight/torches for camping.-mega phone for extending voical communications further distances maybe have some on the vehicles.

V2_Danny 48 Posted July 17, 2012 Some ideas are good, but i dont get the point of having a BB gun. a paintball gun loaded with rocks i can kinda understand, but a BB gun would be pointless. It just wont do enough damage. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
crimsom 2 Posted July 17, 2012 (edited) some more craftable weapons would be nice is all. Edited July 17, 2012 by crimsom Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
