No "Less bugs", "More optimization", what do you wish was introduced? More elaborate melee fights? (Chivalry 2-style, or other), more cars? more elaborate car damage, and if so how realistic? More like GTA 5 or beamng? An ability to "protect" your loot when you're not playing? Let me know
Roving zombie hordes!
This, and getting surprised by them inside buildings. Too expectable nowadays. I would like to be scared every time I open a door.
Being able to drag wounded or unconscious players. Unable to walk or anything and u can drag them to safety or something. Maybe even Carry others
This would be huge. And bodies
Idk, moving bodies feels pointless
Not if you are trying to roll down a freshie mountain.
I’m into it
Use them as a sledge
Hm
I disagree heavily
If too heavy, you get left behind
You can bury them with a shovel in the game.
What about advanced gore? Think of limb dismemberment. Would you be rather appreciative of this or nah? If so, would you prefer (realistic) bleeding and HP loss if limb was lost, or the limb falling on the ground, inability to use twohanded items and no bleeding (arcade-ish)?
I think detailed gore is just unnecessary.
Where losing limbs, should be a considerable factor still. Makes certain risks, really questionable
Gotta use rope or belt to stop bleeding
I would like to see a choice in left / righthanded preference
You could do this, once upon a time.
There’s a mod for this. IntenZ has a “drag body” option for instance.
For the disagreements, moving a body you killed into cover to loot or your teammate to revive.
I’d like to combine food ingredients to make enhanced food items that condense inventory and have added nutrition, like combining chicken with mushrooms, or you know… preparing rice.
Prepping rice would take up more inventory space. Cooking chicken and mushrooms would take up less.
I like that idea too. Something like having full bag of rice and water in the cooking pot yields 12 slots of rice when prepared. I don’t think we should be crunching it down as we have been.
I want a damn sling shot for rabbit hunting
2.0 w/ new engine
Yes
Body part specific damage, similar to project zomboid, and specific body part healing too.
you got shot on a leg? You will be limping for some time. You got shot on the arm? You can't use it anymore
More survival type features in the woods, bring back some of the old crafting recipes but make more and have them more accessible and less clunky.
Base building that doesn’t suck, being able to base up in buildings.
Stuff that will probably have to wait for the next engine.
The absolute most needed thing in dayz is fortifying. Planks on windows. Boarding up doors. Being able to play as a solo and not have to build a box in the woods would be sick. It would feel infinitely more immersive if the base building was centered around fortifying. Every building is open. The opportunity is right there.
infected players that eventually turn rabid. would add a nice dynamic of players hiding bites and their infections etc.
Ability to access inventory and emote in cars
YES, I don’t even understand why we aren’t able to shoot our pistols out of cars. I get it with for example m4 or KM or big ahh weapons but why not even pistols
Bicycles
This! Come one devs, every other family in such area have at least one old bicycle!
They have them on Deer Isle!
Zombie hoards and/or different types of zombies would be really refreshing for this game.
great idea
different types of walkers, like what? Crawlers? Or more Left 4 Dead 2 style?
A new engine
Realistically this is the number 1 thing this game needs. Completely new smooth and jank-free engine from the ground up.
improvised bow and arrow
I hear you but also making a bow is a lot harder than it seems.
My biggest QoL fix currently would be accessing inventory while I'm a vehicle.
I'd also love to be able to shoot from vehicles so it doesn't feel like such a death trap to drive the truck.
Do you realize how hard would be to take off that huge military bag in a small Skoda? 😀
Be able to shoot from cars or very least check inventory
Bring back the '89-'94 Toyota Pickup
Man what a time. I was partial to the canopied version myself.
Shoot. I ended up buying one in the early days of the standalone alpha. Still have that truck too.
With the MG on the back
A true pve menace. Like a super zombie or something. Just create more pve threats.
Imagine Dying Light type zombies in DayZ
Remember that Super zombie at the airport in Infestation? Hard pass 😂🥲
I just want zombies that can jump and climb on to stuff and are fast or other sort of creature.
Zombies that can open doors, lockpicks that dont break, and maybe higher item spawn rate, would make for a way more dynamic game I think.
Also zombies that can run and jump.
It can be just the bear, but with another skin.
just giving them a line of sight beyond like 5 metres and some movement routines would make them significantly more threatening
I just want to be able to shoot from a car lol
I call it the Improvised Ashwood Bow. Check this out. You take a long stick, combine with a rope to craft the bow. You can craft arrows out of short sticks and upgrade those with chicken feather fletching and bone tips.
Tits
Well, we have camel toe on the Karens. Why not?
Im surprised nobody has said the crafted bow yet
Sorry,I was late getting here.
This game desperately needs hunting equipment! Imagine they added deer calls, and hunting stands and blinds, and scent sprays etc to the game, to make hunting more intuitive and immersive.
I love hunting in this game, but it would be cool if they added some equipment to make luring game to your position possible. Listening for deer and following the sound works fine and all, but it would be cool if you could hear a deer, spray some doe urine on yourself, use a doe bleat call, and have the bucks start heading towards your location. Making calls and wearing scents in hunting areas could even offer a slight possibility of spawning game, if there isn't any spawned yet. Hunting camps could have so much more cool loot to offer. And hunting could get so much more in depth.
Not to mention, people would have to listen closely to deer calls to determine whether they're hearing a deer, or a hunter nearby. It would change the entire dynamic. Running towards deer sounds could become dangerous. Other hunters could hear deer calls made by hunters, mistake them for deer, and start calling and tracking each other, thinking they're about to find supper, when in fact they're tracking a potential gunfight.. Could be pretty epic.
Ability to break arms. Now if you hit fresh spawn with SV98 he won't even notice, this is broken mechanic.
Bicycles, flyable helicopters and even single engine airplanes.
Bicycle is a great shout. Would require maintenance but also relatively simplistic - tyres, oil, chain.
Handoff feature would be cool…
Can you elaborate?
Being able to offer something I have in hand to a partner would be more realistic than dropping it on the ground. Maybe something similar to starting the throw mechanism
Would you like it to be more immersive (like, more cinematic) with 1 player just handing out the item and second player can pick it up, or make it functional feature, like a menu, that'd allow 2 players to trade, with animation of them handing the items to each other after both sides accept the deal?
give us the option to farm some sort of coffee beans to make coffee to be able to slow down scope movement. maybe also have the coffee give some pros & cons for health.
pro = stamina buff for a few min. con = faster stamina drain after effects wear off..i dunno
…maybe i just like coffee
That sounds cool, but coffee won’t grow in such climate
Be able to use the stick cooking stand to dry clothes at a faster rate.
Or you know how you can place items in a fire and it ruins them? Well make it not ruin them but heat it up so we can place clothes there
I wish they'd get rid of the wolves and replace them with bot bandit groups of, say, 5 dudes that travel from dynamic spot to dynamic spot. They have gear or possibly a car if you kill them, but they are hard. Or you lay low and let them pass. They'd be like helicopter crashes that you fight. The wolves just annoy me and waste ammo. It's also not realistic to get attacked by three packs a day if your traveling alot.
More in-depth medical system
IntenZ servers have advanced medical systems.
A better inventory system for console
Official PVE severs.
As a console pleb; loads of modded stuff that pc players have.
Ive been watching playZ streams and the gunplay mod looks like itd be a good addition to the base game, as does more indepth medical stuff. The issue is they dont want to deter new players when it's already a steep learning curve. Perhaps an option for server owners to choose a hardcore mode.
Id like a skill system, or where your character improves at something the longer theyre alive like stamina for example.
I think I heard some people say such a skill system was in the game but it didn’t really work or hasn’t changed anything so they got rid of it, but I may be misremembering
I'd like some sort of tranquillizer dart that could knock someone out in 10 seconds from far away. You could counter it with a epinephrine pen.
I'd also like to be able to boost another player over a wall or up on a roof. Just make barbed wire more deadly so if you boost over a wall with wire you get 5 cuts or you get stuck.
And being able to reinforce a house would be one of the best. Instead of adding a huge wooden gate, you could just reinforce the existing doors and windows.
What are your examples how pre-existing doors could be reinforced (excluding mines, and explosives)?
I'd love to craft a bow
More common cars and bases that are harder to raid
Bases that u can commit to making ERY hard to raid. Am thinking of leaving DAYZ because months or hard work gets raided even with 3 gates with 4 digit locks
How about burying uncon players with a shovel… and they wake up in a coffin… https://youtu.be/_bveIl8VXfQ?si=PXsiiuQCeuGQzIFK
Suppressed SKS
More dynamic maps. When I can't find PVP (and the PVE is stale), I love exploring the map but it's pretty cookie cutter. I wish there were more dynamic events or easter eggs or story telling thru the environment.
Better Base building.
What would it be then tho? Traps? For example, what traps? (Excluding explosives)
Craftable rock sling
Combining tomatoes with a bottle to make tomato juice. Would give tomatoes a purpose and could make for a nice alternative to having to visit pumps or relying on chlorine tablets to get clean water
Unlike water tho the juice would spoil after a while so this would stop you from hoarding a jerrycan full o’ juice. More such recipes could make farming a more attractive way of wilderness survival
I really just want a laser attachment for the torch slot, for when I don't want to ads in cqb situations... Also a Holo for the nato weapons would be nice
Character customisation
Like for example what? More around lines of if you pick e.g. pink jacket, you can change it's colors from the menu instead of looking for the right color (easier outfits), or face/body features customization?
Haven't seen anyone say this yet, but bird hunting. It would have it's own vibe
Do you have example of video game/movie that caught the vibe well? If the mechanic was made all over again, what'd you'd want to get more attention in design?
Being able to shoot out of cars as passengers. Being able to use inventory as passengers. I want to be able to drink/eat as the driver.
Also want to boil rice for better calories. I want to combine powdered milk with water for better calories.
Boots and gloves ruin WAAAAY too quickly. There are gloves and boots that are in my family that have been passed down since my great grandfather. Boots and gloves last fine IRL, they should last longer in DayZ.
Shirts and coats, not just singular torso slot.
cooking pots also ruin way too quickly . i can maybe see wearing out a cheap pair of shoes or a shitty pan. but like a solid frying pan or pot? good pair of boots? that should last years minimum , a century if you take care of it
I know it probably isn't going to happen, but I'd love to see a bycicle, a UAZ 469/Hunter and a Lada 2103 added to the game.
Zombie hordes
Belt fed machine guns
Would you need to put them down to use, or would players be able to run around with them when not using? Would carrying them around slow down player's movement?
Whole of chernarus, i know its practically impossible but it would be so cool to have like 1k servers.
I think footprints in mud/snow. Also to see ‘garbage’ or where someone consumes food, maybe you have to burn it? Dayz is an incredibly detailed game but the main way to find where players are or to hide from players is just focused on zombie aggro and smoke from fires.
The footprints sound good I won't lie
rope climbing, and rope ladders
Mining and forging, digging underground bases, better gardening, cooking rice in water, piping water, zombie face mask to hide, bow and arrow, bicycle
Temperature control!
Especially when playing on cold maps like hardcore.winter.Chernarus:
Running uphill should make us warm and then wet, versus downhill that should be like it is today.
Some of these are low hanging fruits, at least.
Definitely make the infected more of a threat. Maybe add a horde mechanic. Like if you’re in a firefight and making a shit ton of noise you need to move away from the area quickly. Or just make the hordes a dynamic event instead of the dynamic gas zones that add nothing to the game lol. Also definitely having helicopters in the base game
Even if they could just slowly climb stuff
As it is now the only threat of zombies il alerting your position to other players
100 percent agree
Less COD more Survival
What do you mean by "survival"? Food from fishing/hunting being more rewarding? The experience of those two being better? If so, how?
Ability to tame a wolf
How would it work tho? Minecraft-style taming or other way?
Unrealistic.
Player zombies, allying with zombies, wandering hordes like in state of decay 2 or a rare zombie that can open doors, ai survivors/cannibals, hell… even a rare item that cures infected then becoming ai survivors/allies keeping towns safer until they’re killed
Remove base building and add barricading for buildings, I mean actually nailing boards across doors and whatnot, more layers for clothes, horses, bikes, power tools for rading, more unique locations for looting and exploring, scattered lore dumb stuff like notes and what not some of which can be used for finding loot
A big thing I’ve always wanted is a more intractable map. Like being able to direct power to a village or something via the hydro dam.
Or for something small, infected hunting animals or drinking at creeks or rivers.
Livestock farming. Cows for dairy products + manure for fertiliser. Sheep for wool = crafting clothing. Pigs for bacon. Chickens for eggs and feathers.
You would need to find the equipment to process the resources and build the pens etc.
Think it would be cool?
Also the ability to yell in emotes. Like help or hello. No more shooting to locate your team.
Ziplines!
What would be example window/door blockades? Just planks nailed over the windows or other blockades too? Would there be variety to choose from?
Base Turrets.
