just a few suggestions

hey guys.. just gonna list off what i think would be some good additions to the game. i'm sorry as if sure most if not all of these have already been covered but i just wanna vent a bit!

1) disable global chat until radio is found

the whole idea of being able to talk to absolutely everyone on the server is a bit absurd for such a supposedly realistic game. i know removing this feature would surely piss people off but i believe that it would make day z just that much more realistic. only close proximity chat should be allowed.. this would make for a much creepier experience. now, i know you can find radios in the game but i'm not sure of their purpose (if they even do anything) since i've never gotten one. what they SHOULD do is that when you find a radio global chat becomes active on your screen.. but when you die it vanishes!

2) melee weapons

i'm not gonna say much about this since i've heard arma 2's engine doesn't allow for it.. but they'd be a great addition if possible.

3) more clothing to find

it would be a pretty cool thing to stumble across more clothing just for a little extra customization. even minor character customization (other than face, voice, and sunglasses) would be nice.

4) ability to settle into a house for storage purposes

i think it would be great if you could store your stuff in houses/buildings (everything can still be stole by other players) in perhaps a closet, dresser, or some kind of chest. it would just give you the sense of have a safe place to run back to if youre low on food or water.. or just need more ammo. im pretty sure this is already available through tents but oh well.

5) cigarettes!

why the fuck not? a smoke every now and then would be nice after murdering a horde of zombies. even if they don't serve a purpose it would still be satisfying!

6) armor/bulletproof vests?

would be a rare find but a very valuable one. the more bullets they take the more it gets worn out and eventually useless, but would definitely serve its purpose and be quite helpful throughout a life.

7) more violence!

loss of limbs if you take a sniper shot to the arm or leg.. more gruesome zombie deaths.. whatever you can do for more blood.. if possible ^_^

8) a few random woods zombies

just to give you that feeling of terror when sprinting through the forest.. make it a little more dangerous. not too many though!

9) character remains in game for 30 seconds after disconnect

stealing this one from other people.. great idea as it stops people from the cowardly disconnect

10) autorun button

self-explanatory

11) holster pistol

self-explanatory

ahhh that's all i can think of right now. as i said im sure these have been covered already but i just wanted to say whats on my mind. peace bros

Many of these have already been discussed very extensively. Still, good ideas nonetheless.

Agree with these apart from number 5.

Banging that female survivor might be satisfying after killing a horde of zombies, too. Despite this; we have to draw a line under things that might be cool but serve no actual purpose at all, it's just game design efficiency.

Although i agree with the first idea about the global/side channel, I think it should still be accessible whilst the its still in Alpha, Ive spent a good portion of this game waiting for servers to load and being able to talk to others has helped me overcome/understand problems occurring in different servers/updates.

As none of my mates will play this in alpha phase also its helped me link up with friendly peeps and at least get that experience.

I do agree with the idea, just not at this phase.
