A few random Suggestions

[InFa 6]

Hey guys, I am just throwing some suggestions out there because I know that at least a few people will read them and like them, plus I believe it would be cool to implement these into the game so go easy on the hate, say why you would or wouldn't like this not just how dumb it is. Thanks!!

1) Street lights in cities: I think this would be an awesome thing for the big cities such as Elektro and Cherno. If they fix the gamma exploit it would add a lot of immersion into the game. This would also give fresh spawns a little help with direction, and maybe even make some of them blinking to add to that horror apocalyptic aspect.

2) Body Decay: I think it would be awesome if you roll into what you thought was an abandoned town where you didn't think anybody has been in for a while when you suddenly see a player body or zombie bodies. If they are fresh then perhaps there are just flies there maybe birds pecking at the eyes, but they could also just be old bodies from an hour ago and they are deteriorating already. Your character starts coughing from the stench of the body.

3) Zombie Survival Weapons: I know that this is a military weapon and yes an apocalypse, but an L85 Thermal? Really?? How about we get some more zombie survival weapons that are a little less military grade. I agree with the AK's and since they are the most common assault rifle in the world right now, and will most likely be for a while, then they are fine in a game, but is there really a need for more than 1 .50 cal sniper rifle? Since most people in most countries own shotguns, then how about some more of those implemented into the game and less M16s with M203s. I think there should be a few military weapons, I think they are an absolute necessity, like the MP5s, M4s and M16s and ya, even the rifles with optics, but I would rather have weapons that you would find more readily in an Easter European country, and I think it would be awesome to have some western influence weaponry in there, but just take it a little easy on that.

4) Quarantine Zone: I don't know how many people would agree with this, but It has become apparent that many groups have tried to make a Quarantine Zone inside a decently populated place. I know this could be heavily abused and I am aware of that, but it is a likely situation that we would come across during an apocalypse. It would be sweet if there was a way to have some sort of a Quarantine Zone.

Well guys, here are my thought, and ya I know that some, or all of them may not be relative, or may not work, but these are just a few of my ideas that I think would be cool to see in the game. If you are going to hate, at least tell me why you think it is such a shitty idea, THANKS!

Thanks for the reply man, I agree with your thing on number 4, just a thought, would get really abused and out of hand

Decaying bodies would be cool and immersive. Street lights would require power so unless there is power...no. The enormous amount of military grade weaponry is due to hacking and duping and will be fixed eventually.

1. In the event of an apocalypse of this nature, electrical power generation would likely break down, so where would the street lights get the power? Unless players can find and use solar equipment, it shouldn't be present, should it?

2. Why would the zombies be in various states of decay? They're infected with a virus, as I understand the storyline. This is why you can kill them with body hits. They're not undead.

3. I agree - to an extent. Weapon spawns should be more tightly related to location as well as "class". A residential home in a rural area would be more likely to contain long guns, where a residential building in a city would more likely contain handguns. Military grade firearms only spawn at military sites. And so on and so forth.

4. A Safe Zone/Quarantine Zone is properly the responsibility of the players to create and maintain, isn't it? The thing is, DayZ is what we make it, through our interactions with each other.
