If you could change one thing about DayZ, what would it be?

[Tabarnator 10]

Day Z with more enterable buildings with a bigger vareity of loot depending on the building type.

You should try Lingor.

Almost all building are enterable.

But same loot as Chernarus.

[Angel Knight 427]

It's actually around 35%. I did a poll a while back.

That poll was only conducted amongst forum posters. I imagine that most people who only log in to shoot everything that moves don't bother browsing the forums.

[Vrekia 2]

One thing I'd love is if you could take the bullets from one partially shot magazine and put them into another so as to have a full mag without needing to loot another or glitch.

Expanding that feature I'd like to have bullets and magazines looted separately. Find a gun and a fistful of bullets without any magazine? Manually load a new bullet into the gun after every shot.

I honestly doubt it. Running near Elektro or Cherno gets you shot at almost everytime and almost on any server (populated ones).

Not speaking about NWA or Stary or even Balota, those are thunderdomes often as well.

Hell I got killed even running through woods near Myshkino and strolling near deer stand is risky as hell too.

Maybe your poll was reversed and you ment that 35% of gamers do not shoot on sight? :)

DISCLAIMER: I'M NOT SUGGESTING ANYTHING SHOULD BE CHANGED!!!!!

I was wondering what I would change in DayZ if I could change anything in DayZ instantly. Don't worry about budget issues, optimization issues, or any problems whatsoever. Just what you would want to add in. I'd like to add better graphics and more cities and enterable buildings to Cherno.

Says "If you could change one thing..." Wants to change three.

CQC. Just imagine...

Edit: Wait, that's a suggestion isn't it? Change the fact that you're a helpless squid flailing about while unarmed, but have the end result be something along the lines of being able to sneak into the back of a firestation, while a small group of survivors attempt to figure out who may or may not be hostile on the inside, and I grab a fool from behind and use him as a human shield during the ensuing negotiations. Do what needs to be done to make this happen!

DMR should have zeroing, AS50 and M107 should not. Damage should remain the same, just to add perfect imbalance.

[chris p. bacon 182]

Besides the standard "no hackers", I'd really like to see some sort of wind factor put into long distance shooting. It'd make for much more thrill to sniping and be a very appropriate and realistic addition to the game, as well as giving AS50s and M107s a needed nerf.

[Welch (DayZ) 756]

Much, much less obvious food lying EVERYWHERE.

And the map way, way larger, but fewer servers. Because 220km2(which seems huge, but if characters run at about 10km/hr, you get to the end of the entire country in an hour) fitting 250 people, supposedly, won't work.

[Welch (DayZ) 756]

This isn't right at all. You know the only people who get on the forums are the more intelligent, friendly, and clans who have no need for killing others?

And there are many more people that don't get on the forums. Polls that represent the entire community are just off.

[Chopzzay 4]

Get rid of all the hackers, and do a db wipe and make it so somehow ppl cant dupe shit. Ahhh... Miss the times where you run at night in cherno with all the noobs throwing flares everywheres <3

I want to see more flavor and easter eggs out there. Anyone remember fallout 1 and 2? I loved all the little things you could find out in the world. I think the urban legends thread has a lot of good examples to start with.

Totally not going to point out how you would need to run for 22 hours to travel from one edge of the supposed map to the other with said speed and distance.

Also finding friends would become a bit more of a nightmare with a larger map. Especially if we're still stuck with the same rarity of vehicles...

Actually, about 45%, according to the poll, try to be friendly.

At least I didn't want to change nine things like the guy above me.

I had trouble at first with this, but the map is 220km squared. That means the entire map is only about 14km x 14km. So it takes roughly an hour since we don't use the entire map, really.

[bobthebuilder (DayZ) 2]

cannibalism. :)

[Bonehead3535 105]

official DayZ servers, which admins are selected by DayZ developers and be online 24/7.

[Fyre (DayZ) 6]

Everyone took that poll except me. I would like to see a lot of the high powered guns removed, they are a lot of fun but feel out of place. The average person wouldn't be able to use one of them properly or know what to do for procedures.

The average person is now a zombie. Anybody still alive is likely not the "average" person. Just sayin'.

I see this here on these forums. I call bullshit! If you can fire any gun at all, you can fire any military rifle. They are made so any joker can use them.

As for the rarity we are in a war torn country.

[風.かぜ 2]

The packs of wild animals would be really cool to see in this game like wolves, bears, wild dogs, stags, moose, etc, along with the disappearance of hackers and more incentives to have player interactions.Also in the standalone I'd like to see bigger maps with less servers(have dedicated supported servers)/bigger population limits so that it's like an actual world you are immersed in, with constant people you'd meet, notoriety with the big killers/ the heroes,etc. But really, I'd like to make it so that the "friendly" policy is the norm instead of a KoS one.

Dead players become Zeds.

[sausagekingofchicago 4711]

The type of people playing.

[codave 121]

Definitely more than one thing...

More melee weapons. At present there are the two - Axe and Crowbar, and only one is useful.

Wind effects added to shots over 300m.

Radios implemented, with adjustable frequencies, and a "Radio Channel" added.

In addition, there are some small tweaks I would make. DMR should be able to be zeroed, for instance. The AS50 should be the same volume as an M107. The ability to drink directly from a water source such as a pond. Pistols shouldn't take 5 backpack slots when items similar in size only take up one. The ability to start a fire with road flares (make them less common as well). I also love the idea of running into small groups of zombies in the wilderness.

[cptmackay 9]

Enter-able buildings. nothing frustrates me more than wandering around desperately needing (insert desperately needed good here) when i see a building in the distance. After running a ways and finding the building is unopenable. Drives me nuts.
