A few short and sweet ideas...

[lugaru 103]

Hi there! I've been enjoying the mod for a couple of months now and just wanted to drop in a few quick suggestions. Oddly enough for an alpha I dont have much to complain about, but some small details would rock.

Tweaks

Villages have too many zombies: Even with an organized team, I found that the many scattered villages pose more risk than reward. In Elektro and Cherno I can avoid zombies easily and pile on loot, with a minor chance of getting shot in the face. Villages though... wow. I find them more overpopulated than military bases, airfields, big cities and all the other famous "big reward" areas. A few less zombies would be nice, and just to not sound like a whinner move them to the other high reward areas.

5 second log out delay: Probably the most suggested feature but I did not see it... maybe I was looking wrong. Either way I'm a carebear but those few times I yell "friendly" and the guy shoots anyway, I want him to pay for his agression. At least 4 times I've wounded a bandit who then left the game... or worse... one time a guy left when I cornered him and rejoined to shoot me in the back. Maybe this would be awful for most players, but I used to play "muds" (basically fancy chat rooms) and early mmo's back in the day and waiting to log out made things tense.

New Content

Crowdsourced models: Have you thought of opening up the model design process to the 100,000k + DayZ fans? I think they could help design versions of buildings with interiors and more skins for the male and female survivor. I think it would be fun if there where 50+ skins... that way you can really tell friend from foe apart since the odds of 2 identical players would be greately reduced.

Radio Areas: Getting close to trees allows you to chop wood... how about getting close to antenas allowing you to access global chat? No need for a "walkie talkie" item (maybe in the future) but it would be a great way to recruit members. Sure, trolls would probably stand there blasting pop music, but that would lead to expeditions to quiet them. :P

I completly agree with these idea, they're great.

Thanks... I think the crowd sourcing part would really make the content grow quickly... of course the first character model rocket would get in the mail would be "nude survivor" or "survivor with pot leaf t shirt" but after that there would probably be some useful contributions.

Another bit of content I would love to see is a messaging system... like dropping notes or something... I'm sure grafiti would be too much work.
