More depth needed in Day Z

[lukeyu2005 19]

Looking at the mod as it is now....

It's too empty. You go into the houses and it's all empty for example the small shack with only 1 door in.

It has a dining room and a table but that's it. Surely in the event of a zombie Apocalypse people would leave in a hurry.

So a unfinished meal on the table. buzzing with flies. knocked over furniture the stove still on (maybe difficult to do) of course some variety would be needed.

so these objects (ie the dinner on the table) these can be placed but will spawn randomly. (ie when they spawn they will always be in the same place just whether they spawn or not is determined by chance) when a player enters the area like loot and zombies.

Other ideas may include a man hanging himself inside his house.

A man covering kneeling over a bed with his son in bed. His son bitten hence has a bullet in his head. And the father slumped over the bed having shot himself in the head. With the gun still in his hand.

(the bed upstairs in the apartment buildings would be ideal) (The gun would be lootable)

possibly a dairy with a story about it (it could just be a generic extract with blanks for names which the names are randomly generated)

Or a solider on a roof dead after blowing his brains out. With lots of empty cans and empty water bottles around him his gun and some ammo (all lootable) plus lots of dead zombies at the base of the ladder up to the roof. And a diary explaining how he's been stuck there for so long. He's all out of food and water and there is no escape and that he is just going to end it all etc etc.

I'm sure the community can come up with countless ideas.

and even do the modeling for some of them.

Thoughts and ideas?

Like i said currently things are just too empty

I agree, this won't be doable due to Arma 2 engine limitations right now though..

Perhaps they'll implement something like this for DayZ standalone!

I sure hope so!

i think it is do able since the objects won't be permanent and they spawn and de spawn as players come and go.

but why would they all shoot themselves in the head? these are not undead zombies these are 28 days later zombies

Can you think of a less painful way to commit suicide?

this game does need more in depth after you had the vehicles the merks the survival what is there ?

it needs missions added like in wasteland mod . this makes people do objectives . this opens up the game and stops the usual camp up in churnos or electra lows. imagine you have to go join up go fix a generator at stary and the others no this ! brings a whole new element to the game which is purpose!

You know you are infected, the infection will slowly turn you into a Zed.

Either you suffer until you become an empty shell of a former you or shoot yourself, sparing yourself the torture and sparing others because they don't have to deal with your rabid infection.
