CyberTyrant 6 Posted August 4, 2012 1. Eliminate the zoom function. Any zooming should only be allowed by using range finders, binocs and scopes.2. Elminate the ability to run like Forrest Gump.3. Make the infected more abundant withinin cities, allow them to spawn anywhere & everywhere, and give them the ability to wander in & out of buildings without being aggro'd.Not sure if the first two are even doable...

Tweakie 199 Posted August 4, 2012 1: I assume you mean holding down right mouse button. TBH, I always considered it to be focusing on something....kinda like you can do in real life.2: Yeahhh. But at the same time, alot of time is spent crossing the map...so gameplay wise it would probably be bad/annoying. I still support the general Idea, but how do you factor in running from zombies? If being chased by 10 zombies, I think most people would be able to run further than normal.3: Would just make the FPS even worse, on every server. Not a bad idea, but with the current implementation of the zombies....maybe not the best. For a hopefully better running standalone, no doubt. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
decoman 45 Posted August 4, 2012 4. Implementing scope glint off sniper scopes when faced against the sun, perhaps with exception of when lying in shadowed area.I have no idea how realistic this is. I wouldn't want to see anything similar to that used in Battlefield 3. :D Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Wokky 13 Posted August 4, 2012 1. Eliminate the zoom function. Any zooming should only be allowed by using range finders, binocs and scopes.I think zoom is a practical necessity to counter the low resolution on our monitors as compared to human eyesight. Even with the zoom, you could probably pick out detail at a distance more easily in reality than in game.2. Elminate the ability to run like Forrest Gump.I'd agree on this if there were more vehicles and bicycles, but otherwise getting around Chernarus is tedious enough as it is.3. Make the infected more abundant withinin cities, allow them to spawn anywhere & everywhere, and give them the ability to wander in & out of buildings without being aggro'd.Agreed, making zombies more of challenging to deal with is definitely needed. Unfortunately will be difficult to do well for as long as DayZ remains an ArmA 2 modification. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
decoman 45 Posted August 4, 2012 (edited) 5. Snow or heavy rain reduces visibility for snipers in particular. :) Also affecting others with scopes, like binocuclars. Should also impact anyone just looking around, but not so bad that they cannot orient themselves in environment.Not sure how realistic that is with regard to existing visual ranges and gunfire ranges in game, but I would love the notion of having improved odds at moving around with less risk of being spotted and gunned down by a sniper.

JDogg1329 7 Posted August 5, 2012 1. Instead of getting rid of it completely why not make it zoom less, I don't think it's that unrealistic it doesn't zoom a crazy amount, it's like concentrating on one area.2. This would be another problem, running around is a big part of the game, sometimes you have to run for 20 minutes to meet up with friends, and I think the fact that you get thirsty quicker balances it out.3. Technical restraints. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
