My suggestions to Dayz (many pictures, short read)

[Jotze 22]

1. River

http://www10.pic-upl...w2vtngz7jbm.jpg

A river trough Chernarus would:

• increase the priority of boats
  
• make it easier to fill the bottle
  
• support the coming feature: fishing.
  

2. Spawns

http://www7.pic-uplo...mnkaad5jq66.jpg

New spawnpoints in the north (RED) would:

• help to animate the north.
  
• give Berenzino a bigger focus.
  
• reduce the focus of Electro and Cherno a bit.
  

3. Train

http://www7.pic-uplo...sso6p8e1miy.jpg

A train which drives from south-west coast to the north-east coast and backwards would:

• give players the choice:
  

- travel fast with a high risk of dying or travel slow to be more safety.

The wagons should be transparent, so that the travelers do not know, whether in the other wagons are players. This would be an awesome moment at the stop.

4. Stary-Novy Sobor

http://www7.pic-uplo...sijqxhmaqw6.jpg

In addition I would like to see a city in the inland. The combine of Stary Sobor and Novy Sobor could realize that. With the river in alongside, it could be a place of much attention and fights which we haven’t seen yet in Dayz.

5. Unique sights

http://www7.pic-uplo...xmxrh1vvhq2.jpg

There should be more unique sights in Cherno, which are worth to travel for (like the television tower).

A Bunker with underground and military spawn would be a good addition.

A metro underground could also be cool.

6. Tracers

Blood spots and foot print would:

• help to trace other players.
  
• warn players.
  
• give new tactical aspects to the game.

Very Nice man, I like all these ideas and I hope they take your advice and implement some of them in standalone :) Beanz to you sir

I have to give you props for the pictures.

But all of this would have to wait for the standalone.

I'll just comment on the river idea for now.

Fuck yeah!

But with an addendum. Most inland cities are established on the banks of rivers; they run through cities, not alongside them because of the access to trade routes normally only available to coastal cities and the ability to harness water power to drive water wheels. Starry and Vybor ought to have the river run right through them.

This could make for an interesting tactical situation with only a small number of functional bridges allowing passage from South to North. These could serve as choke points for aggroed zed hordes and sniper central for players trying to get across one of the bridges on foot. Perhaps even a powerable Bascule bridge could be raised and lowered to allow vehicles to get from one side of the city to the other.

Great post and I will give you BEANS for all the ideas.

I love the idea of bigger cities, more locations of interest and an inland river.

In fact, they should make a second giant landmass in the ocean, something like Lingor.

[deadlykenny 37]

The map used for the standalone (the first initial one) will be chenarus plus, this meaning more enterable buildings plus a bigger map, so any geological changes are not likely to happen, this mainly relates the the river idea.

[m.w. vindicator 880]

The river idea is good. I know it is not a big deal but the river in the screenshot doesn't make any sense. It flows up hills and stuff and flows into the ocean in two areas. Not a big deal though.

The rivers could start on a mountain due to melting snow runoff which would be very cool and rivers can split off

I've said this a few times but i'll say it again; If i see a train in DayZ, i'll make it my personal goal to drivea bus into it, derail it and kill you all, and whilst all of your bodies are laying there lifeless, i will commence in a t-bagging ceremonie, bragging my concieveable victory to the world.

The watershed's not quite right, yeah, but the idea of more water on the map is a good one. Lingor's got a lot of waterways, and bridges, and it's a good consideration for vehicles and infantry alike. I'm in favor of that.

Yes to spawn points. I've spawned in Berez on some private hives, and it's nice. Plenty of loot, meds, markets, a good place to start.

Train: No, thanks. Absurd to think we'd be able to get a freaking locomotive up and running, it's impossible to protect it and it wouldn't offer much.

Inland city: I don't care much for urban settings, and the inland towns already offer all the loot and combat arenas we really want. Apart from tall buildings to snipe from and hospitals (there should be non-coastal places to get meds reliably), there's nothing to want from Stary/Novy that you can't get now. Even the sniping up there is good.

Unique Sights: Yes, please. I'd like to see stuff like your picture shows, but have it work like helicopter crashes, so the bomb shelters and other structures won't always be in the same place, and it'll be neat to stumble upon them in the woods or wherever, like finding a crash site in a field.

Tracking: Some way to figure out that someone's been by, and where they went, would definitely be awesome. Blood trails could help for sure, especially considering the gushing fountain of blood that survivors bleed in DayZ. You do leave footprints on pavement, I think, but they don't last long.

A wide river with a Golden Gate style bridge would be awesome. Place high end military tents in the centre with sandbags along the bridge and watch the carnage unfold.

Yes, they're just really big scaled up versions of:

Nice work. Good suggestions. You have my beans!

[GLRUBBERDUCK 19]

Great idea but you need a river that goes from pobeda dam to black lake and willow lake and then out to sea there are dried up river/stream paths all over that area

[4POC4LYPSE 0]

Make it so it is a very rough river...with waterfalls and then add rafting boats....seems legit, and epic. But it will never happen sadly.

[rolfwar 5]

I only like your ideas about spawns in the North and the river.
