After thoughts

[bauersteg 3]

So after my first week of play, I still adore this game. I have died..........alot........but each time learned something new. Today I lost about 3 days worth of play, not like a straight 72 hours, but more than a couple hours each night.

I went to the green mountain, got some stuff, headed for a village north, got trapped in a barn, was doing alright actually, and zombies outside managed to hit me through the walls of the barn, knocked me unconcious, and I bled out? Meh.......

So I guess some things that I would like to see:

1. Players returning as zombies: You get takin out by zombies then return as one. Sounds pointless but I could actually haz fun chasing people down if I could run as fast as the zeds, and think about getting a group of friends together as zeds XD

2. Empty cans/bottles: Why even put them in the game if you can't use them? What I mean by this is why not be able to throw them to distract some creeps? You can throw flares and such so just allow bottles/cans to be equipped and thrown in the secondary weapon slot. Also, how funny would it be to have drunk fights with your friends using broken whiskey bottles?

3. Signs/notes: Again, sounds pointless, but if you can mark on the map, why not be able to find like a can of spraypaint and be able to leave markings for you or your team (tagging various trees in the forest to get back to your camp would be nice) Could be helpful, also funny tagging stuff 8=D style

4. Survivalism: I LOVE the hunting/crafting in the game. I wish there was more of like making and setting up booby traps rambo first blood style for animals/other player.

5. Gear: I saved this one for last because for the most part I really enjoy the amount of weapons and stuff that is in the game already, I would just like to see a few more things like riot gear w/ sheild and baton as well as melee weapons maybe get a buff. Again, pretty satisfied with the amount of guns in the game.

These are just after thoughts, obviously the game needs a little bit of work but over all this is the only game that I am really interested in these days because despite all of its flaws, it's still more fun than......well........any of the games that have come out this year so far :l and I'm stoked that it's gonna be a stand alone game now!! Day Z FTW!!

1.) Running as fast as they currently run is probably going to be changed. Their ability to keep up with Cars, at times, it's pretty insane. Other than that, I'd rather not play a zed, especially in a small town on the northern part of the map. You'd almost have to die to a Zed on the coast or the NW airfield to have any real fun.

2.) These items have use, learn to use them. Breaking hospital windows, distracting zeds. They ARE in the game for a reason....

3.) This would only persist on the current server you are on. They wouldn't transfer to different servers, just like tents/vehicles.

4.) What kind of crafting is in this game?

5.) I agree with you on a few more melee weapons. Right now all we really have is the hatchet. As far as regular guns, I'm pretty satisfied with what we have.

1.Yeah still think you could have just as much fun playing as a zombie as you would a player if being a playable creep was interesting (intense melee damage, slightly elevated speed, perhaps increased hunger/damage taken), now again I understand that their speed is a little ridiculous right now but I still think it adds a certain horror factor to the game if the zeds can out run you even by a little bit. I've spent a very long time running away in horror from a crowd of zeds, it would be fun to be apart of that. I also think people who would enjoy it would probably try and just see how long they could survive as a zombie after they get bored being a human.

2. I am a nublet, what can you do with an empty can right now? Please teach me.

3. Thats the point? I start a character on a server and then I log off at some point, if that server has a good player base/ping, why wouldn't I return to it? Just like tents and rides.

4. You need certain materials to meet prerequisites so that you can acheive various crafting abilities however simple in defintion it may be for the badass gamer that you are. Vehichles need parts, hunting requires certain materials to make viable, ect. these however simple they may be are still awesome and by my defintion a crafting system which in todays FPS market is a miracle is far as I am concearned.

5. Agreed.
