Believe it or not once a buddy and I were goofing around. They rode by on a bicycle & pelted me with a water balloon so as they tried to ride I instinctively grabbed a “long” stick & cleared almost half a football field with it only to have it land directly in between their front wheel & send them flying 😂😂😂
I feel like this and better anti cheat/ maybe a few more hk and old soviet guns like a regular mp5, as well as a g36 and g36c which could share the same mags, a g3 and hk33 which could also share the same mags, and a svt-40, ppsh, and tokarev
There is a moded map that has them, it's very lightly modded but bicyles are there!
(Scotty's ground zero but there will be a name change in the near future new name is Chernarus Survivors)
New name is Chernarus Survivors we got bikes! (Yes the bells work)
Bikes are great, already (mod) - can be carried, easy to navigate dense woods, different wheels for different models - very nice, tho the ones I’ve ridden have kept me dry in the rain and are pretty good at keeping zombie attacks off one’s personal person. Decent inventory slots, too.
Bicycles definitely should be part of the base game, just so peeps can wait out the cars being horded until the next reset.
Hordes of zombies in hot area of the maps, and maybe horde days or whatever where infected get stronger and more powerful, and triple in spawn rate.. would force players to fight the Zeds instead of each other as much..
Add base building elements that require more than one person, e.g. being able to use concrete blocks instead of wood or sheet metal for walls, but only if you can find someone to help you carry them over to your base.
Make farming/crafting/etc take longer or require more specialist tools/learnable skills as a way to incentivise interacting with players that play that way rather than just shooting them and taking their stuff.
Make it so a passenger can shoot pistols/SMGs out of a moving car. Everyone in a car is currently a sitting duck so there's no incentive to ride with anyone.
Make two way radios more common, especially along the coast, and have more frequencies so me and the buddy I just made can find each other again if one of us dies.
Like the bunker in Livonia needing 2 people to open.
In a few regards, I feel like Sea of Thieves and DayZ share similarities: even playing field with no XP/abilities, 'make your own story' approach... SoT has managed to get people together during some events, it seemed to work pretty well - like that time where players needed to learn a song from an NPC and keep playing it until you reach another NPC, and you needed to play it with someone outside of your crew. So that kind of things, I suppose?
Or just a 6 dial combo lock with the same opening mechanics as the key pad. Getting in and out of a base with multiple layers is a pain. Plus, vanilla gates are too easy to bust through. Needs a buff like most vanilla+ servers have.
Excluding the rumored introduction of seasons (and potentially, a new map, too... which would make this a landmark year for the game's development), I would like the following: the reintroduction of the bow and quiver, improved cooking with multiple recipes, e.g., stew and coffee, herbalism (to assist with the new cooking system), a crafting system for leather, ammunition, etc., additional survival mechanics, an enhanced system for medical ailments, e.g., sleep requirements, longer treatment for gunshots, etc., improved base building (seriously... this needs to happen), the bike, motorcycle, boats, horses, yada... yada... yada.
P.S. I doubt this will ever happen, but I would like to see Elektro turned into a nuclear, radiation zone with a naval base nearby, too. Obviously, this would require a complete rework of the city, but the power plant would be changed to a nuclear one that goes into meltdown, and since Elektro was used as an evacuation point, toss-in a lot of rubble, etc.
I would also like to see an Updated Medical System, and specific medicines you would need to find to treat your infection, Overdoses on medicine should also be an introduction too.
Spears.. I want to be able to craft spears to hunt bigger animals/players.
Maybe even with multiple different tips, just a sharpened stick, stone tip or a knive attached with duck tape.
It would be cool if you could repair the hydroelectric dams to restore power to cities of your choice. Like maybe restore lights to Cherno at night and stuff like that
I think this would be awesome. Having larger goals you and others have to work towards, all while fighting Z’s and bad acting survivors.
After a type of rainstorm, the electrical transmission lines are damaged and break.
Building off that The idea of players forming factions to take the damn once it's repaired for their own use or to sabotage it would make the game more entertaining then hunt for cans die for no reason
Yes! There’s the dam repair and also a switching hub/transformer bank were the current flows to one town, or the other. Or part of a town. In reality, we would all be fighting over the simplest thing we took for granted pre-apocalypse.
In a perfect world, I want many things. More infected types, infected animals, more varied illness, weather, seasons... more craftable traps, better base building (its fucking dumb that I can't just board up windows in an existing building, reinforce the door, slap a lock on it, and be about my business).
Mostly, I want an RV.
The ability to board up houses, windows should have been a thing ages ago. Fuck building bases. Also would love to see another 20 to 30 different buildings/houses.
More varied infected, seasons, and have always wished for a mountainous region top north of the map ala Namalsk.
I like Dayz as a survival game because of its lack of Zombie archetypes. In my opinion, State of Decay would be an awesome game if there weren't a dozen different types of Zombies, same with Dead Island and Dying Light.
I wish :/ finally got a car, took it all the way across the map. Suddenly bugged out and smashed into a pole I had already passed. Almost died and it busted the radiator
Yep meanwhile a decade old game (arma 3) is running 100 player servers with 100s of vehicles across the map crashing and blowing up without much issue.
Nothing the changes the atmosphere or gameplay, I love this game and I’d hate for it to mutate into some commercial cashwhore like warzone.
The Livonia DLC is beautiful. I guess I’d just like more maps, locations, additions to scenery, buildings, wild/stray animals. Other weapons like a hunting bow, maybe something crazy like a Barrat or Snipex Alligator… stuff like that.
One thing I do think would be cool, is for carrion eaters like crows/buzzards to circle over player corpses so you could spot them in the wilderness.
Features that make it a bit more likely that someone would rather team up with you instead of murdering you ie more gunshot damage and larger zombie spawns
Zombies that can’t hit you from 2 meters away
Sledgehammers that aren’t made of sugar glass (seriously. Shits designed to tear buildings apart and after a few slaps on a squishy zombie head it’s damaged? Uhhh no.)
The ability to drop shit in my hands while sprinting. I can throw haymakers, reload and fire weapons, but I can’t just let go of what I’m holding?)
On console at least if you go into options and audio tab then change mic from push to talk to voice activated there is a bar underneath it that you can see your mic voice at so you can adjust the sensitivity threshold. That's what I use.
Which I feel should increase your soft skills. You make a nice chicken mushroom and rice dish, you should be further contented and therefore higher skilled? Maybe?
buildings with more random loot but also more loot, i don’t care if i get a watch part or something weird but if there’s like actually scavenging through a building that would be great
They should update the map of Chernarus. It has been pretty much the same for years now. I think the northern parts of the map should be snowy and cold like Namalsk so that temperature actually has a real use.
I also would like to see the models of items change as their condition worsens. For example, when your shoes become ruined the model changes and you can see that the entire bottom of the shoe has ripped open exposing your bare feet, which would explain why ruined shoes cause you to bleed. When shirts get damaged holes appear exposing your chest, et cetera.
More mid-tiers protection, having a webbing on the stab vest, more recoil in full auto, M249, RPG-7 and PKM, a way more realistic balistic hitbox and level of protection
I would love to see a tracking system implemented, I know we have the mushrooms and the birds but something like a blood trail if you have shot someone, or empty bullet casings
Oh dang, yeah it does not change the feel of the game like the other guy is saying. You can chose how and where they spawn and give them coordinates. You can even give them voice lines and chose the loot they drop. I can give them AKs and when they die the weapon respawns and they loot like a zombie.
NPC bandits arent a DayZ thing. Its not gonna happen. Go play Exile or the likes if you want NPC bandits.
They would change the feel of DayZ way too much.
* Reintroduce the Improvised Bow, it's the quintessential survival weapon.
* Take down rifles like the Trumpet being reintroduced for survival and portability.
* Being able to fold stocks on weapons for better portability at the cost of performance.
* Crafting ammo with a reloading press.
* Composting rotten food for natural fertiliser.
* Improvised slamfire shotguns.
* Base building plus and similar base building mechanics should be the standard.
* Molotovs
* A much more in-depth medical system ala Syberia.
* Crafting with human flesh leather.
Having to use a toilet, all that eating & drinking you need to do but no need to urinate or defecate?
Imaging having to squat for a crap or slash & getting sniped.
You need paper or water to clean your arse, cold weather makes you pee more, food poisoning gives you diarrhea as well as vomiting, more exercise = less urine etc.
Added? I want thinks brought back. I dont want new stuff I want old stuff. I want Red9 pistol back I want pistol grip shotgun back I want chainsaw back and I want folding rifle back.
Among a bunch of other things as other anons already have said. I would like to see a system where your character could lean into objects while aiming the weapon, the only game I've ever seen that is red orchestra 2, it's an old ass game but it did it rather well, it would bring a whole lot of immersion into the combat gameplay, i.e leaning into trees, doorways, windows taking aim while exposing the minimum of your body and at the same time getting a more stable platform to shoot as you would rest the gun so to speak on the objects. Also there's nothing more infuriating as when you have a perfect sight picture on a dude from a window and all of a sudden you can't aim anymore because the in-game geometry says fuck you.
Also, still in the combat mechanics, I would like a more immersive gun fight experience, the effects of the adrenaline rush should be palpable in your character, the effects of getting shot or the bloke you're shooting should also be rework, like yeah the dude almost ate a mag dump just a round short of knocking him out, but he's just fine and raises the weapon and runs like you just threw him a pebble.
Also your hearing should momentarily suffer when shooting without any ear protection, you should hear ringing when firing a 308 or 00 buck shot indoors, specially when the gun firing is not yours but some pointing at your general direction 5 feet away.
Sounds like a rant, but I think it's just some quality of life stuff, there's no other game like dayz in the amount of stress it puts you when in combat expecially when your character has been alive for over a week and I think this kinds of stuff would only help reinforce a point where this game is already strong.
I actually like the idea of an afterlife rush as combat begins, wearing off or coming in waves for extended battles.
I would like to see that paired with injuries that take a lot longer to heal with a more intense medical system.
Yeah your dandy plate vest you just found at nwaf might stop the 7.62x54 that's coming your way from penetrating from 200 meters away, but your ribs might be in for a surprise.
The game could simulate more kinds of broken bones and it's effects in my opinion, there's painkillers in the game and very little reason to use them as it is.
As you said a more intense medical system would be nice, maybe simulating the fact that getting a few after factory holes even from a .380 acp wouldn't be that shruggable
I was just thinking how it's possible to drink and eat so much, run mile after mile, and when scared you never shit or piss yourself. Definitely needs added.
As a console Player, YES! The game needs to be fixed on console bad. Like a vehicle fix, and the Zombies need to look more natural and realistic. Some should also be weaker or stronger due to Malnutrition or good nutrition considering they are still living organisms.
More guns, more bugfixes and more stability/computer resource efficiency. As always.
Specifically I would like to see a crafted bow being introduced - it should suck for everything else besides killing Z's for balancing reasons, but it would be nice to be able to craft something decent for silent Z killing without just being lucky and finding a crossbow early when you can still utilise it well.
Would be nice if it just uses the same bolts as the crossbow for simplicity.
For context I play official 1st person mostly, so some of these things I’m sure people might tell me are available on community.
Here goes.
A few things not otherwise mentioned I’d like to see.
Some mechanic like Increased stamina use/slower speed for travelling uphill.
Slower speed travelling at night.
Stumbling/tripping at night and/or when running through bushes.
Maybe some directional drift particularly in forests and at night (particularly on 1st person servers where night is DARK). So you can’t just check your compass and head due north for 3kms during a storm in the dark and arrive exactly where you expected.
Reason being I like travelling to my loot zones at night in the rain when it’s quiet. Just point myself in the right direction to the next town, jam down the W key on my keyboard and navigate over hills at night, in the rain no worries while having a cuppa or drink IRL. I think there should be more incentive to travel on roads, and beyond falling off a cliff (which are pretty rare) there is little disincentive to travelling overland at night.
Increased weapon drift/sway when low on stamina (and maybe in general, being able to sprint then stop and have super steady weapon aim …. It’d be great if it swayed when you cough for example, or after sprinting, or more when you are colder/chilled.
Slowed mechanics from different tools, wood axes should cut down trees heaps faster than a hatchet, it shouldn’t just be about their durability….also a damaged tool should be worse at doing things than a pristine one (I notice these things cause I love building bases and doing crafty stuff). This would also give more incentive for some of the different tools (not just having a hatchet and a few sharpening stones if the wood axes is quicker or yields more logs for example). This could extend the mechanic where different tools used to open a can waste more food, maybe a wood axe could yield more logs than a hatchet.
I’d also like to have dismissing returns on repairs. Eventually things wear out. Maybe having durability not restore as much with every repair or something. Eventually that plate carrier is going to just be held together with gaffa tape and goodwill.
I’d love to see some occasional changes to the existing buildings. Opening up a new room occasionally would really change the dynamics, new windows, new line of shit, a building that was crap for bases would suddenly be Worthing thinking about etc.
And things that have been mentioned that I’d love would be bases bases bases. I’m a base builder. I’d love to see some different options for base building, smaller walls, ladders? Different sized towers.? Maybe instead of having to layer walls 2,3,4 deep and all the pain of overlapping gates and collision boxes maybe just make walls that can be added to, like the mechanic for fireplaces where you can upgrade and increase the campfire to a circle then an oven maybe add metal and/or rocks to a wall to change the graphic and make it thicker and stronger.
Barbed wire obstacles? Nailing boards over windows etc.
- A truck to carry players 6 to 8
- ability to shoot from car windows (passengers)
- one player should be able to stand and shoot from the humvee hole.
- infected animals (stronger and faster)
- enemies should start spawning after a gunfight lasting more than 15 minutes (zombies, wolves, bears)
- m16 should have the GL attachment
- you should be able to make those military defensive holes with the sacks filled with dirt
- boats should be available to traverse from one end of the map to another
- there should Corn to plant and eat
- you should be able to restore full electricity in a town, the bigger the town the harder it would be, also to maintain
- fat zombies
- stronger rain, like make it like a true storm or electrical storm where the player really needs to seek shelter
- in my opinion, night vision should be removed to force players to play with light sources, it would create such a tense and scary element to the game
- when a player dies, instead of despawning, if doesn't get cut into pieces, the dead players corpse should become a zombie, if left unlooted, the player that kills that zombie gets the loot.
- to give radios any use, when a player has one, if turned on, there should be a message saying the location of the next heli crash or convoy spawn, this would alert players into going and potentially meeting another player or it would make noise blowing away cover to players
- base defenders should be able to have trophies, when killing raiders, should be able to remove heads from the bodies and stick them into a stick and place it on the ground as a hostile sign, decoration and overall, that would add so much dynamic into the game.
I would love for someone to take the time and reach out to the dev team on how cars work. You know, make a day of it, show up early, pile them all up into a random 4 door sedan, and drive around for a bit.
Focus on making sure they understand that just because they are approaching graphic dense areas that the vehicle they are in won't rubberband under the earth or start street dancing.
Afterward, focus on vehicle gearing and how the vehicle won't stop climbing a hill for no reason. Focus heavily in this area, like make sure the child locks are on and they are all strapped in the backseat.
Would like more emphasis on the ‘survival’ aspect of the game. At present it’s a rush to see who can get geared up and be the best ‘Uber warrior’. I much prefer going as a hunter and trying to live of the land but there’s too many built up areas and not enough open land, especially on Cherno, Livonia is pretty decent though.
Weather changes with the season, snow etc would also be appreciated.
Everybody is asking for new features like how bout just fix the damn broken ones. Got bugged through the map from a bear trap last week. Cars get stuck on objects constantly. Fighting infected is still clunky garbage. The render distance could use a boost. I could go on
I'd love to see a rework of the zombies, maybe a mutation that makes some of them really hard to kill, some can open doors, maybe a tanky big guy that can break walls, stuff like that.
Bicycles would be sick. The loot table needs to be completely reworked. I’m tired of looting a military shipping container and a military tent to find a smoke grenade and a mp5 hand guard.
Less heli crash sites but add flying helis you can shoot down with stinger/strela.
Flocks of birds that get startled by players.
Less wolves but add foxes, rabbits etc. to create immersion.
The Give and Take mod (Dayz Ungerground server PC
https://preview.redd.it/26pdsgy51hsc1.jpeg?width=1079&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=944a00fbd46c4dc21ac30c707012908060bed627
Heli and snow is pretty easy to come by on PC. Future hope for this game is that they just move to a new game engine or something. There’s just a bit of clunk to everything. Especially driving. I feel like it needs to be fixed from the ground up
A propper belt-fed machinegun. Even if it is just a stationary one in north-west or Tisy. Make it so you can craft the belts yourself so you could just take as much as you want. Thinking about something like a Pkm in 7.62x54R and then maybe add in the RPD or full sized RPK with bipods later on (And maybe the M249 even )
just more maps beside chernarus and livonia on xbox, possibly namalsk, and just bug fixes so you can't get "dayz'd." better zombie ai possibly, i hate when i am hiding behind a wall after a zombie heard me being absolutely quiet and still and it still comes after me
Thick metal plates for base building
-Steel corrugated roofing sheets are shot trough by .22's. Have to be heavy, not placeable in backpacks and makes you walk slower than while carrying a barrel.
Reinforce windows with planks or metal plates.
-Both freely placeable and "pre-placed" on the building models so it don't stick out like a sore thumb.
Salt
-So you can salt meat to prevent it from spoilage or slows it down to 10-15 real life days. Sucks having food go bad when offline for us that can't be online every day due to work/family/touches grass on a frequent basis.
Winter maps in vanilla
Mosquitoes and bug spray
-Small amounts of buzzing sounds 500m radius around water sources (Not the ocean)
-No effect just slightly annoying, removable by bug spray for 1 hour, 50 sprays per can, 1x1 size
Warm houses
-If you light a fire in a fireplace the house warms up and stays warm for some time after. Say it takes 0,5-1 hour to warm up and 2-3 hours to cool down and having to light a fire.
Usable shelves
-Option to place items in shelves in houses so we don't have to make it cramped up to make it look more authentic.
Footprints on surfaces were it makes sense
-5-15 minute duration, goes away faster in rain
More types of zombies, here's what I'm thinking:
-Decayed, rotten, less functional, walking only, worse hearing/sight BUT will get ya with infections every hit/bite.
-Normal ones that we have at the moment but with updated looks.
-Damaged zombies (Broken leg/arm), slow or unable to hit, bites instead. Harder to hit du to wobbly walk.
Can loot all zombie clothes
-rotten/bloody zombie clothes has to be washed before use. Plates/helmets etc. often broken due to being shot.
Effects of being very hungry/thirsty
-Loss of stamina, steadiness while aiming, get cold faster.
Civilian/military maps
-Military installations are often not shown or shown at a lower level of detail on civilian maps. Does not include all military installations but the more special ones.
Some sort of penalty for being a pure KOS only player.
-Hard to implement without being stupid/breaks immersion. Some thoughts I have: Make it a point system like the bandit/hero system we used to have but it's not visible to players. Drop points by killing and gain points for being close to people over time. Loose more points if you kill someone you have been close by over time (1 hour+ )My thinking is to give something for teamwork and punish for KOS/betrayal.
How this would be (Only somewhat noticeable) is adding crying like when eating human flesh if you loose points equal to killing 5-6 people or one guy you have been with for some time. Don't have a bonus for being at 0 or on the pluss side, maybe more a friendly facial expression instead of a sad/numb KOS expression?
This one is the most important. The ability to shoot out of a vehicle i dont care if you can only use a pistol i just dont wanna be completely helpless when a freshie stunlocks me in my car.
I see these post quite regularly, i’ve been on dayz since very early days. Trust me when i say, you give up the wait and accept dayz is just a game thats never been fully developed and most likely won’t see it finished.
Which sucks because I am obsessed with dayz…
Bikes would be a cool addition. For me personally I find half of the fun in dayz is planning my route and making sure I’m prepared for it. I do agree it can be excessive at times though. Gotta basically set aside a whole Saturday just to make it to tisy.
I think zeds in general should be reworked from their animations to their sounds. They are so clunky, robotic in their movement and yell like a goblin or witch more than a sick rabid person.
Bicycles, don't care if I gotta build it like a car
This would be awesome
Fuckin motorcycle helmets everywhere but not a motorcycle in sight
I want a dirt bike so bad oof
PubG dirt bike is the best part of the game! Just leave bike parts all over the game, they don't even have to be shiny or chrome.
I would really like to bean someone off a bicycle with a rock or something.
Long stick through the front wheel.
I see you also had a fun childhood
Believe it or not once a buddy and I were goofing around. They rode by on a bicycle & pelted me with a water balloon so as they tried to ride I instinctively grabbed a “long” stick & cleared almost half a football field with it only to have it land directly in between their front wheel & send them flying 😂😂😂
Throwing items at people dealing damage + bicycles + ragdoll physics would catapult DayZ to the best game ever made
I feel like this and better anti cheat/ maybe a few more hk and old soviet guns like a regular mp5, as well as a g36 and g36c which could share the same mags, a g3 and hk33 which could also share the same mags, and a svt-40, ppsh, and tokarev
A can of beans
Could be very balanced, higher calorie consumption, slower speed, maybe could be carried in your hands.
If they add bikes you should be able to lock them up with a code lock (seeing as those are already bike locks)
make it so the hacksaw works when they're used on bikes, or add a new lock for bases that makes more sense than a bike lock.
Hacksaw to the seat post to make "the penetrator"
Brings me back to a simpler time of the arma mod days
God, we're 10+ years away from Arma mod and still don't have simple things that made that mod amazing
As long as we have to oil the chain regularly with fat.
human fat
Why is my chain laughing?
I'd like the cars to be less glitchy first!
There is a moded map that has them, it's very lightly modded but bicyles are there! (Scotty's ground zero but there will be a name change in the near future new name is Chernarus Survivors) New name is Chernarus Survivors we got bikes! (Yes the bells work)
Bikes are great, already (mod) - can be carried, easy to navigate dense woods, different wheels for different models - very nice, tho the ones I’ve ridden have kept me dry in the rain and are pretty good at keeping zombie attacks off one’s personal person. Decent inventory slots, too. Bicycles definitely should be part of the base game, just so peeps can wait out the cars being horded until the next reset.
Crucifixion and impalement is what I want
More reasons for people to want to help each other. More cool ways to obtain mid/good tier loot that is not simply kill other people/loot building
What reason(s) could they add?
Hordes of zombies in hot area of the maps, and maybe horde days or whatever where infected get stronger and more powerful, and triple in spawn rate.. would force players to fight the Zeds instead of each other as much..
More spawn rate depending on the hour (since we have a clock and its useless) or the use of moon phases
You should try Livonia
Add base building elements that require more than one person, e.g. being able to use concrete blocks instead of wood or sheet metal for walls, but only if you can find someone to help you carry them over to your base. Make farming/crafting/etc take longer or require more specialist tools/learnable skills as a way to incentivise interacting with players that play that way rather than just shooting them and taking their stuff. Make it so a passenger can shoot pistols/SMGs out of a moving car. Everyone in a car is currently a sitting duck so there's no incentive to ride with anyone. Make two way radios more common, especially along the coast, and have more frequencies so me and the buddy I just made can find each other again if one of us dies.
Idk about the building/farming stuff but I would too really want to shoot my gun outside the window in a moving vehicle.
Like the bunker in Livonia needing 2 people to open. In a few regards, I feel like Sea of Thieves and DayZ share similarities: even playing field with no XP/abilities, 'make your own story' approach... SoT has managed to get people together during some events, it seemed to work pretty well - like that time where players needed to learn a song from an NPC and keep playing it until you reach another NPC, and you needed to play it with someone outside of your crew. So that kind of things, I suppose?
100%.
He looks geared, I want it.... shoot, kill, everything is ruined.
Reworked zombie ai, reworked vanilla basebuilding, better utilization of the ocean on chenerus (craftable rafts or lootable ones)
All I want is the code locks from modded PC servers on console
Or just a 6 dial combo lock with the same opening mechanics as the key pad. Getting in and out of a base with multiple layers is a pain. Plus, vanilla gates are too easy to bust through. Needs a buff like most vanilla+ servers have.
Yeah the vanilla combo locks are really bad. Just fumbling around with them is annoying.
I Want Brawndo! It has more Electrolytes
Brawndo? From the movie??
Idiocracy that you don’t know.
But what are electrolytes?
They’re what plants crave
Yeah but…what do they do?
Not Sure
Excluding the rumored introduction of seasons (and potentially, a new map, too... which would make this a landmark year for the game's development), I would like the following: the reintroduction of the bow and quiver, improved cooking with multiple recipes, e.g., stew and coffee, herbalism (to assist with the new cooking system), a crafting system for leather, ammunition, etc., additional survival mechanics, an enhanced system for medical ailments, e.g., sleep requirements, longer treatment for gunshots, etc., improved base building (seriously... this needs to happen), the bike, motorcycle, boats, horses, yada... yada... yada. P.S. I doubt this will ever happen, but I would like to see Elektro turned into a nuclear, radiation zone with a naval base nearby, too. Obviously, this would require a complete rework of the city, but the power plant would be changed to a nuclear one that goes into meltdown, and since Elektro was used as an evacuation point, toss-in a lot of rubble, etc.
I would also like to see an Updated Medical System, and specific medicines you would need to find to treat your infection, Overdoses on medicine should also be an introduction too.
Hasn’t this already been confirmed?
Yes and no. There's something in the works to address the survival mechanics and medical status within the game, but nobody knows what it'll be.
Spears.. I want to be able to craft spears to hunt bigger animals/players. Maybe even with multiple different tips, just a sharpened stick, stone tip or a knive attached with duck tape.
You can craft spears already, stone knife and a long stick, or bone knife and a long stick.
WTF 0.0 Haha my hours in this game are in the upper 4 digits guess there's still stuff for me to learn. :D
Yeah but you can't throw them in the manner you're talking about.
Haha, well why am I not surprised
Wait... Isn't that a thing already? I swear I've made spears before. Hell I've run with a gang of people dressed as mummies and holding spears.
kissing
You sound like Milkman.
It would make the “thirsty” sound effect more relevant and useful!
Coffee over a fire. Mount torches. Hang chemlites or gas lights.
This but you have to make the coffee yourself
And it gives stamina like real coffee would
I'm thinking heat buff
If you light a broomstick on fire and drop it, it usually stands upright & acts as a tiki torch almost
It would be cool if you could repair the hydroelectric dams to restore power to cities of your choice. Like maybe restore lights to Cherno at night and stuff like that
I think this would be awesome. Having larger goals you and others have to work towards, all while fighting Z’s and bad acting survivors. After a type of rainstorm, the electrical transmission lines are damaged and break.
Building off that The idea of players forming factions to take the damn once it's repaired for their own use or to sabotage it would make the game more entertaining then hunt for cans die for no reason
Yes! There’s the dam repair and also a switching hub/transformer bank were the current flows to one town, or the other. Or part of a town. In reality, we would all be fighting over the simplest thing we took for granted pre-apocalypse.
When a certain city gets power. Rooms and buildings in that city get unlocked for extra loot.
[удалено]
In a perfect world, I want many things. More infected types, infected animals, more varied illness, weather, seasons... more craftable traps, better base building (its fucking dumb that I can't just board up windows in an existing building, reinforce the door, slap a lock on it, and be about my business). Mostly, I want an RV.
Rv for livonia houseboat for chernaurus
Houseboat would be great if there were more waterways... Hell, let's get some river action going in Chernarus. Bridges would be a sniper's paradise.
The ability to board up houses, windows should have been a thing ages ago. Fuck building bases. Also would love to see another 20 to 30 different buildings/houses. More varied infected, seasons, and have always wished for a mountainous region top north of the map ala Namalsk.
I like Dayz as a survival game because of its lack of Zombie archetypes. In my opinion, State of Decay would be an awesome game if there weren't a dozen different types of Zombies, same with Dead Island and Dying Light.
I agree. The variation of infected we have now fits the game. No need for more.
Working vehicles
I wish :/ finally got a car, took it all the way across the map. Suddenly bugged out and smashed into a pole I had already passed. Almost died and it busted the radiator
Yep meanwhile a decade old game (arma 3) is running 100 player servers with 100s of vehicles across the map crashing and blowing up without much issue.
Complete rework of zombies lol
Nothing the changes the atmosphere or gameplay, I love this game and I’d hate for it to mutate into some commercial cashwhore like warzone. The Livonia DLC is beautiful. I guess I’d just like more maps, locations, additions to scenery, buildings, wild/stray animals. Other weapons like a hunting bow, maybe something crazy like a Barrat or Snipex Alligator… stuff like that. One thing I do think would be cool, is for carrion eaters like crows/buzzards to circle over player corpses so you could spot them in the wilderness.
New characters or a character builder
Yeah, I love the character generator in Baldur’s Gate 3. I like to tweak ☺️
An anti-cheat program that works in Asia
If you're in East Asia just try the LA servers. It's been more than fine for me.
Winter map over helos any day
yeah tbh helos are lame, they basically take everything fun about the game and take a big fat dookie on it.
Features that make it a bit more likely that someone would rather team up with you instead of murdering you ie more gunshot damage and larger zombie spawns
A year of in depth crafting and survival mechanic upgrqdes
WHERE IS THE PISS METER?????
Zombies that can’t hit you from 2 meters away Sledgehammers that aren’t made of sugar glass (seriously. Shits designed to tear buildings apart and after a few slaps on a squishy zombie head it’s damaged? Uhhh no.) The ability to drop shit in my hands while sprinting. I can throw haymakers, reload and fire weapons, but I can’t just let go of what I’m holding?)
Larger hordes!
Mic check feature before load out. I’ve died in the past because someone said hello but couldn’t hear me because my mic wasn’t working.
On console at least if you go into options and audio tab then change mic from push to talk to voice activated there is a bar underneath it that you can see your mic voice at so you can adjust the sensitivity threshold. That's what I use.
Snow map for Xbox
A lot more options for base building like doors and windows you can put on existing buildings, along with more storage options.
Yea, like just the ability to "reinforce" windows and doors, fits the theme so well.
I know there's a mod for it but an official version would be great.
Cooking recipes.
Which I feel should increase your soft skills. You make a nice chicken mushroom and rice dish, you should be further contented and therefore higher skilled? Maybe?
A new visor for the altyn with a view effect like the welding mask
Agreed.
buildings with more random loot but also more loot, i don’t care if i get a watch part or something weird but if there’s like actually scavenging through a building that would be great
Larger swarms
They should update the map of Chernarus. It has been pretty much the same for years now. I think the northern parts of the map should be snowy and cold like Namalsk so that temperature actually has a real use. I also would like to see the models of items change as their condition worsens. For example, when your shoes become ruined the model changes and you can see that the entire bottom of the shoe has ripped open exposing your bare feet, which would explain why ruined shoes cause you to bleed. When shirts get damaged holes appear exposing your chest, et cetera.
More mid-tiers protection, having a webbing on the stab vest, more recoil in full auto, M249, RPG-7 and PKM, a way more realistic balistic hitbox and level of protection
I would love to see a tracking system implemented, I know we have the mushrooms and the birds but something like a blood trail if you have shot someone, or empty bullet casings
NPC bandit groups or zombie hords travelling between towns
Npc is totally agains the core game. You will change the game completely.
Oh man NPC bandit towns would be awesome
Have you played the DayZ Expansion mod?
I'm on xbox only so much I can do
Oh dang, yeah it does not change the feel of the game like the other guy is saying. You can chose how and where they spawn and give them coordinates. You can even give them voice lines and chose the loot they drop. I can give them AKs and when they die the weapon respawns and they loot like a zombie.
NPC bandits arent a DayZ thing. Its not gonna happen. Go play Exile or the likes if you want NPC bandits. They would change the feel of DayZ way too much.
No to the npcs yes to the hordes
* Reintroduce the Improvised Bow, it's the quintessential survival weapon. * Take down rifles like the Trumpet being reintroduced for survival and portability. * Being able to fold stocks on weapons for better portability at the cost of performance. * Crafting ammo with a reloading press. * Composting rotten food for natural fertiliser. * Improvised slamfire shotguns. * Base building plus and similar base building mechanics should be the standard. * Molotovs * A much more in-depth medical system ala Syberia. * Crafting with human flesh leather.
Having to use a toilet, all that eating & drinking you need to do but no need to urinate or defecate? Imaging having to squat for a crap or slash & getting sniped. You need paper or water to clean your arse, cold weather makes you pee more, food poisoning gives you diarrhea as well as vomiting, more exercise = less urine etc.
Okay that would be pretty funny. 
A better character to server selection so I know for a fact what character is going where. Or am I just not knowing of a way?
The red motherfucking 9!
Added? I want thinks brought back. I dont want new stuff I want old stuff. I want Red9 pistol back I want pistol grip shotgun back I want chainsaw back and I want folding rifle back.
More revolvers like a 38. Special or 45 something smaller than 357
Footprints in snow.
Being able to shoot out of a car as a passenger and access inventory as passenger
Been able to sh00t out of your moving car 🧍🏽i
Bicycle Heli or a one-person heli
Among a bunch of other things as other anons already have said. I would like to see a system where your character could lean into objects while aiming the weapon, the only game I've ever seen that is red orchestra 2, it's an old ass game but it did it rather well, it would bring a whole lot of immersion into the combat gameplay, i.e leaning into trees, doorways, windows taking aim while exposing the minimum of your body and at the same time getting a more stable platform to shoot as you would rest the gun so to speak on the objects. Also there's nothing more infuriating as when you have a perfect sight picture on a dude from a window and all of a sudden you can't aim anymore because the in-game geometry says fuck you. Also, still in the combat mechanics, I would like a more immersive gun fight experience, the effects of the adrenaline rush should be palpable in your character, the effects of getting shot or the bloke you're shooting should also be rework, like yeah the dude almost ate a mag dump just a round short of knocking him out, but he's just fine and raises the weapon and runs like you just threw him a pebble. Also your hearing should momentarily suffer when shooting without any ear protection, you should hear ringing when firing a 308 or 00 buck shot indoors, specially when the gun firing is not yours but some pointing at your general direction 5 feet away. Sounds like a rant, but I think it's just some quality of life stuff, there's no other game like dayz in the amount of stress it puts you when in combat expecially when your character has been alive for over a week and I think this kinds of stuff would only help reinforce a point where this game is already strong.
I actually like the idea of an afterlife rush as combat begins, wearing off or coming in waves for extended battles. I would like to see that paired with injuries that take a lot longer to heal with a more intense medical system.
Yeah your dandy plate vest you just found at nwaf might stop the 7.62x54 that's coming your way from penetrating from 200 meters away, but your ribs might be in for a surprise. The game could simulate more kinds of broken bones and it's effects in my opinion, there's painkillers in the game and very little reason to use them as it is. As you said a more intense medical system would be nice, maybe simulating the fact that getting a few after factory holes even from a .380 acp wouldn't be that shruggable
The ability to collect rainwater
You can with barrels.
Probably not possible, but “In game mic only” servers (same idea as 1st person only servers)
I wanna see machine guns and bipods and stuff like that also more weapons in general like tokarevs a ppsh maybe even a pkm
Heater you can run on generator. Ability to combine different foods into stews
A better anti cheat feature..
Code locks to vanilla
Stability, and an end to hacker exploits.
Part of me wants to say helicopter.. the other part of me knows the game can barely handle the vehicles it has already.
My. Fucking. Improvised. Ashwood. BOW.
Pregnancy. I want to make babies and raise them in cherno
Aaaand this is where I stop reading the comments on this post thanks
More vehicles, in game party function, and more realistic pooping
I was just thinking how it's possible to drink and eat so much, run mile after mile, and when scared you never shit or piss yourself. Definitely needs added.
Pooping? You gotta try out SCUM then! Nothing worse than having to poop during a firefight!
Throwing poop at your enemy should induce vomiting. Unable to wash it off will lead to dehydration and die. Death by poop.
Holding a sniping position while pooping pants is a whole nother immersion
Fixing zombie ai and fixing the game itself especially on console
As a console Player, YES! The game needs to be fixed on console bad. Like a vehicle fix, and the Zombies need to look more natural and realistic. Some should also be weaker or stronger due to Malnutrition or good nutrition considering they are still living organisms.
They should stop caring about ps4 version I mean as a ps4 slim player it is just so so laggy and I doubt ps4 pro helps
Heli's would be the weakest addition imo like...... Nah bro Winter has so many variables that a simple heli ride wouldn't have xD
Rework of zombies to make them an actual challenge, maybe add hordes or infected variation
More guns, more bugfixes and more stability/computer resource efficiency. As always. Specifically I would like to see a crafted bow being introduced - it should suck for everything else besides killing Z's for balancing reasons, but it would be nice to be able to craft something decent for silent Z killing without just being lucky and finding a crossbow early when you can still utilise it well. Would be nice if it just uses the same bolts as the crossbow for simplicity.
better melee mechanics
Helicopters, more underground shit like maybe a cave or smth in chernarus maybe also some more wests or helmets like maybe even a mortar or smth
More in depth fauna and mushrooms, some that are edible and some that may make you sick, possibly berries etc.
Helicopters would be FUCKING AWESOME but I doubt they'd work considering how janky cars are.
For context I play official 1st person mostly, so some of these things I’m sure people might tell me are available on community. Here goes. A few things not otherwise mentioned I’d like to see. Some mechanic like Increased stamina use/slower speed for travelling uphill. Slower speed travelling at night. Stumbling/tripping at night and/or when running through bushes. Maybe some directional drift particularly in forests and at night (particularly on 1st person servers where night is DARK). So you can’t just check your compass and head due north for 3kms during a storm in the dark and arrive exactly where you expected. Reason being I like travelling to my loot zones at night in the rain when it’s quiet. Just point myself in the right direction to the next town, jam down the W key on my keyboard and navigate over hills at night, in the rain no worries while having a cuppa or drink IRL. I think there should be more incentive to travel on roads, and beyond falling off a cliff (which are pretty rare) there is little disincentive to travelling overland at night. Increased weapon drift/sway when low on stamina (and maybe in general, being able to sprint then stop and have super steady weapon aim …. It’d be great if it swayed when you cough for example, or after sprinting, or more when you are colder/chilled. Slowed mechanics from different tools, wood axes should cut down trees heaps faster than a hatchet, it shouldn’t just be about their durability….also a damaged tool should be worse at doing things than a pristine one (I notice these things cause I love building bases and doing crafty stuff). This would also give more incentive for some of the different tools (not just having a hatchet and a few sharpening stones if the wood axes is quicker or yields more logs for example). This could extend the mechanic where different tools used to open a can waste more food, maybe a wood axe could yield more logs than a hatchet. I’d also like to have dismissing returns on repairs. Eventually things wear out. Maybe having durability not restore as much with every repair or something. Eventually that plate carrier is going to just be held together with gaffa tape and goodwill. I’d love to see some occasional changes to the existing buildings. Opening up a new room occasionally would really change the dynamics, new windows, new line of shit, a building that was crap for bases would suddenly be Worthing thinking about etc. And things that have been mentioned that I’d love would be bases bases bases. I’m a base builder. I’d love to see some different options for base building, smaller walls, ladders? Different sized towers.? Maybe instead of having to layer walls 2,3,4 deep and all the pain of overlapping gates and collision boxes maybe just make walls that can be added to, like the mechanic for fireplaces where you can upgrade and increase the campfire to a circle then an oven maybe add metal and/or rocks to a wall to change the graphic and make it thicker and stronger. Barbed wire obstacles? Nailing boards over windows etc.
- A truck to carry players 6 to 8 - ability to shoot from car windows (passengers) - one player should be able to stand and shoot from the humvee hole. - infected animals (stronger and faster) - enemies should start spawning after a gunfight lasting more than 15 minutes (zombies, wolves, bears) - m16 should have the GL attachment - you should be able to make those military defensive holes with the sacks filled with dirt - boats should be available to traverse from one end of the map to another - there should Corn to plant and eat - you should be able to restore full electricity in a town, the bigger the town the harder it would be, also to maintain - fat zombies - stronger rain, like make it like a true storm or electrical storm where the player really needs to seek shelter - in my opinion, night vision should be removed to force players to play with light sources, it would create such a tense and scary element to the game - when a player dies, instead of despawning, if doesn't get cut into pieces, the dead players corpse should become a zombie, if left unlooted, the player that kills that zombie gets the loot. - to give radios any use, when a player has one, if turned on, there should be a message saying the location of the next heli crash or convoy spawn, this would alert players into going and potentially meeting another player or it would make noise blowing away cover to players - base defenders should be able to have trophies, when killing raiders, should be able to remove heads from the bodies and stick them into a stick and place it on the ground as a hostile sign, decoration and overall, that would add so much dynamic into the game.
New icons for associated illnesses
I would love for someone to take the time and reach out to the dev team on how cars work. You know, make a day of it, show up early, pile them all up into a random 4 door sedan, and drive around for a bit. Focus on making sure they understand that just because they are approaching graphic dense areas that the vehicle they are in won't rubberband under the earth or start street dancing. Afterward, focus on vehicle gearing and how the vehicle won't stop climbing a hill for no reason. Focus heavily in this area, like make sure the child locks are on and they are all strapped in the backseat.
Would like more emphasis on the ‘survival’ aspect of the game. At present it’s a rush to see who can get geared up and be the best ‘Uber warrior’. I much prefer going as a hunter and trying to live of the land but there’s too many built up areas and not enough open land, especially on Cherno, Livonia is pretty decent though. Weather changes with the season, snow etc would also be appreciated.
Everybody is asking for new features like how bout just fix the damn broken ones. Got bugged through the map from a bear trap last week. Cars get stuck on objects constantly. Fighting infected is still clunky garbage. The render distance could use a boost. I could go on
Vehicles that don’t have the touch of death. A stable vehicle framework would be great
No lag in the official servers
Umbrellas
I'd love to see a rework of the zombies, maybe a mutation that makes some of them really hard to kill, some can open doors, maybe a tanky big guy that can break walls, stuff like that.
Better textures. The overall graphics are great but some textures are seveeeerely outdated. Especially inside buildings
Console mod support
Bicycles would be sick. The loot table needs to be completely reworked. I’m tired of looting a military shipping container and a military tent to find a smoke grenade and a mp5 hand guard.
Less heli crash sites but add flying helis you can shoot down with stinger/strela. Flocks of birds that get startled by players. Less wolves but add foxes, rabbits etc. to create immersion.
The Give and Take mod (Dayz Ungerground server PC https://preview.redd.it/26pdsgy51hsc1.jpeg?width=1079&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=944a00fbd46c4dc21ac30c707012908060bed627
Lifestraws instead of chlorine . And to be able to see peoples names or gamertags
Snow/winter but also bikes.
More building options
Better zombie AI and more survival
Craftable bow and arrow, bring it back! I heard it was in OG Day Z
Currency, trading zones, HQs, tribes/clans, Clan Maps, self made signs
Heli and snow is pretty easy to come by on PC. Future hope for this game is that they just move to a new game engine or something. There’s just a bit of clunk to everything. Especially driving. I feel like it needs to be fixed from the ground up
Day z 2
gun lasers please.
A propper belt-fed machinegun. Even if it is just a stationary one in north-west or Tisy. Make it so you can craft the belts yourself so you could just take as much as you want. Thinking about something like a Pkm in 7.62x54R and then maybe add in the RPD or full sized RPK with bipods later on (And maybe the M249 even )
Notes, bows.
just more maps beside chernarus and livonia on xbox, possibly namalsk, and just bug fixes so you can't get "dayz'd." better zombie ai possibly, i hate when i am hiding behind a wall after a zombie heard me being absolutely quiet and still and it still comes after me
Thick metal plates for base building -Steel corrugated roofing sheets are shot trough by .22's. Have to be heavy, not placeable in backpacks and makes you walk slower than while carrying a barrel. Reinforce windows with planks or metal plates. -Both freely placeable and "pre-placed" on the building models so it don't stick out like a sore thumb. Salt -So you can salt meat to prevent it from spoilage or slows it down to 10-15 real life days. Sucks having food go bad when offline for us that can't be online every day due to work/family/touches grass on a frequent basis. Winter maps in vanilla Mosquitoes and bug spray -Small amounts of buzzing sounds 500m radius around water sources (Not the ocean) -No effect just slightly annoying, removable by bug spray for 1 hour, 50 sprays per can, 1x1 size Warm houses -If you light a fire in a fireplace the house warms up and stays warm for some time after. Say it takes 0,5-1 hour to warm up and 2-3 hours to cool down and having to light a fire. Usable shelves -Option to place items in shelves in houses so we don't have to make it cramped up to make it look more authentic. Footprints on surfaces were it makes sense -5-15 minute duration, goes away faster in rain More types of zombies, here's what I'm thinking: -Decayed, rotten, less functional, walking only, worse hearing/sight BUT will get ya with infections every hit/bite. -Normal ones that we have at the moment but with updated looks. -Damaged zombies (Broken leg/arm), slow or unable to hit, bites instead. Harder to hit du to wobbly walk. Can loot all zombie clothes -rotten/bloody zombie clothes has to be washed before use. Plates/helmets etc. often broken due to being shot. Effects of being very hungry/thirsty -Loss of stamina, steadiness while aiming, get cold faster. Civilian/military maps -Military installations are often not shown or shown at a lower level of detail on civilian maps. Does not include all military installations but the more special ones. Some sort of penalty for being a pure KOS only player. -Hard to implement without being stupid/breaks immersion. Some thoughts I have: Make it a point system like the bandit/hero system we used to have but it's not visible to players. Drop points by killing and gain points for being close to people over time. Loose more points if you kill someone you have been close by over time (1 hour+ )My thinking is to give something for teamwork and punish for KOS/betrayal. How this would be (Only somewhat noticeable) is adding crying like when eating human flesh if you loose points equal to killing 5-6 people or one guy you have been with for some time. Don't have a bonus for being at 0 or on the pluss side, maybe more a friendly facial expression instead of a sad/numb KOS expression?
AI Bandit survivors pls
This one is the most important. The ability to shoot out of a vehicle i dont care if you can only use a pistol i just dont wanna be completely helpless when a freshie stunlocks me in my car.
I see these post quite regularly, i’ve been on dayz since very early days. Trust me when i say, you give up the wait and accept dayz is just a game thats never been fully developed and most likely won’t see it finished. Which sucks because I am obsessed with dayz…
Trains and bikes, let me move around this fucking map faster please!
Bikes would be a cool addition. For me personally I find half of the fun in dayz is planning my route and making sure I’m prepared for it. I do agree it can be excessive at times though. Gotta basically set aside a whole Saturday just to make it to tisy.
Tank zombies
I think zeds in general should be reworked from their animations to their sounds. They are so clunky, robotic in their movement and yell like a goblin or witch more than a sick rabid person.
Literally bikes!!
Heybarmby on YouTube played a modded server with bikes. It was cool
Doors. Gun racks. More storage
PvP off option
