New user here to give suggestions.

Yea my first post on this fourm, as I can not find any other sort of "New user introduction" thing.

So I decided as my first post i'd give away some Suggestions to add or fix. This may be updated.

1. Make the hunting knife a melee as well.

As a fresh new survivor I often had hard time's where I could not find a weapon or anything to defend myself with. There was this one instance where I saw a knife in the water. Long story short I died instantly when I thought I can melee. Seeing how the 2 weapon's are "2 Hand's" and this mod is still in early alpha, I wouldn't mind if it had to be a glitched 2 handed weapon to use. And i'm not saying this cause I never found a way to get around zombies or i'm mad. I just thought since it's a bit common or easy to find thing, it should have more uses.

2. A possible fist's/push feature?

Often time's when I am spotted there are most time's I have to "Outrun" a zombie. And yes I did as a fact outrun a few in times. However I think this should be worked on with a push or a punching feature. And yes, of course make it will be weak and you would need a melee almost more then punching, but I just can't seem to find any other easier way to outrun a zombie other than running in a few tree's. And I'm sure most survivor's would do the same "Yes, im bringing irl to a game because arma or the mod is based on realistic cases. Aka Simulation". Make it the weakest melee in the game for all I care I hate to have that one zombie alert more zombies and in most cases "Die".

3. Possible armor? Ok so at this point ill admit I never played any of the arma series. When I first had to run it I of course played it for a few min's to get the hang of the engine. And I'm certain I did not find a armor slot. But maybe it can be used in the "tool" slot. I'm not talking just military kevlar. I'm saying thing's as home made armor pad's or thing's to help with the whole "bleed" I hate to just find bandages and use it each time I bleed. I'd like this sort of feature available to reduce some of the bleeding.

That is all I have for now. I'm going to continue playing/stream this game and see if any other idea's come into mind. Make a discussion as to what I got so far and of course, I'm glad to be on the forums.

Be so good to find some old hermit and win him over (in some text answers or w/e) to follow you or you follow him. Would have to be a random world spawn. Npcs would be great for the solo players. They could even turn on you or go crazy.

I think the more random stuff that could happen to you or your team the better. As long as its hardcore idc.
