overview of hardening the game

[ravenger 10]

Ok, I see several posts about this game being to easy and to me it is way to easy and isnt even a challenge so I havent played in a while. There are posts about making the game harder and i 100% agree with that and it may or may not decrease the ammount of killing. It will make people kill for a reason as you will most likely have something they want. It will decrease noob killing as who is going to kill someone who has nothing when you onlt have a few bullets. Make ammo and guns scarce. That goes with everything I shouldnt be able to walk into a hospital loot 1 box and be set the entire play through. Food is way to plentiful as it is now and I hardly even think about it anymore. Make the zombies thick in the streets and in the world so getting through alone is near impossible. Sure you see another player with a gun and as it is now its like ok he has a gun i dont need him i will just shoot him. If this game is harder we think ok we can help eachother maybe he has food and i have ammo for his makarov. If you dont work together it will make the game hard and the more people you have the better chance you have. You have more mouths to feed but getting into those precious loot spots will now be somewhat possible. Oh yeah and weapons oh my god weapons are so plentiful. make more civilian type weaponry that match the setting. I think you should only be able to find american and british weaponry in helicopter crashes and everything else is mosin nagant rifles and such. Make the sniper rifles ultra low spawn i mean im talking like 0.01% spawn of the as50. The dragonov and (forget name of the opfor .50) and the cz550 the only sniper rifles able to be found on chenarus and the rest are helicopter drops. I know it might take time and we are in alpha but there needs to be more civilian type weaponry and less military grade assault rifles. I know this was a game designed as a military simulator. This is all the more reason to get a stand alone dayz out and i hope you guys start it soon.

I know most the noobs will flame this comment as new people are not going to know the mechanics of the game and will find the game difficult as it is. Ive been playing arma for 2 years now and am pretty experienced so these are just my views. You will need to find a median where the game is still fun for new players as it is experienced players. Most the dayz fan base is new players because they didnt find this awesome game until dayz went viral. Really need a standalone dayz and even a single player in it. It doesnt have any connection to online play but players can learn the game on there own so the online play can be fun and not such a nightmare to get started.

Everything here is probably a lot easier said than done. Good luck developing the game as every move you have made has been the right one so far. I hope you get to work on a standalone dayz as this game is to good to be just a mod. Thank you rocket. :)
