Your Top 5 Wishlist for PZ
Hello doomed survivors,

the last thread was quite a success so here is part two.

Just like the last time, we'd like to get an overlook and see what the community deems to be a priority at the moment.

Please tell us about the five things that you want the most. Be it a feature that you wish for or a bug/game mechanic to be fixed or tweaked.

Please put them in order, starting with the one you want the most.

Please refrain from discussing other people's points to keep the topic clear.

Try to be as constructive as possible. "The UI sucks monkey fur" is destructive and not constructive.
If you have a problem with a feature or design choice, please elaborate "why", to give us a better understanding.

Any posts judging or discussing the points of others will be deleted from this topic

(If you can't get 5 points together, feel free to post anyways!)

Thanks for your feedback in advance! We won't be dropping in here to reply to posts (much) but your posts will be read :)

1- NPCs
2- The ability to change the helicopter event in the Sadistic AI, instead of sometimes or once, i'd like to be able to change it to once every month.
3- Ladders. Since zombies can destroy sheet ropes now, would be awesome if we can craft ladders. Wooden and metal ladders.
4- Vehicles
5- Random crash sites around the map, since we have helicopters events would be cool to find some crash sites full of zombies and some loot.

1. NPCs, both hostile and friendly. and military, that could fall under either!
2. More scripted events.
3. Vehicles, even if it's just broken down cars that we can't use anymore.
4. More weapon variety (I know there's a mod for it but still). Crossbows! Also, some armor and more clothes (raincoat, anybody?).
5. Military blockades and caches. Swarming with zombies but oh so lucrative! Potenitally helicopter crashes.
6. Better character creation.

My list is almost the same as sergeant's! Spooky!

  1. Awesome NPC that I don't end up killing just because they don't know better then eat perishable food before stuffing themselves with chocolate/chips... or other dumb things like firing a gun at zombies when there is nowhere safe to hide;
  2. More in depth medical system, including improvement on the nutrition system (iron, vitamins, etc.) and more diseases then simple cold or flu + nausea;
  3. Underground structures ;
  4. Even more crafting and use for common items, there are some great idea in the suggestion forums;
  5. New subskills and perk system (kind of like concentrating in a area of the skill... like aim allowing to lower weapon use time or increase accuracy/damage)

And because you've asked for 5 and no more, I'll leave it at that.

1. Creative Mode (Just the ability to recreate my street or other famous places would be great.
2. Underground Structures (Sounds pretty cool to me!)
3. NPC/Events (Because, why not?)
4. Different Clothes & Other customisation.
5. Better Sneaking (I saw someone else talk about it, and it sounds great!)

1 - More Clothes
2 - Utility for useless items such as yo-yos, rubber ducks, etc. (could give -5 boredom), use soap bars to clean wounds...
3 - Ability to use more items as weapons such as mops or more melee weapons.
4 - New traits and diseases
5 - Hunting

I didn't include NPCs yet because when you play multiplayer you don't even miss NPCs.

1. Zombie types and variation, Some zombies are really strong and tough, some are weak yet do insane damage and run fast. Also zombie bears
2. More varied enviroment- Instead of a grassland with occasional houses and cities, Large oceans or sandy rocky ares could appear or be sperate maps.
3. Less darkness. When walking around, Have the whole map screen/area showing, This'll make the game look more visually appealing.
4. NPC's and army/ Colony areas. On the map have a military base filled with soldiers or colonys/the ability to make a colony of humans.
5. Changing enviroment- Buildings collapse, trees fall. Bodies remain.

1) Posting Notes: I would love to be able to post my notes to a door or wall so that when people approach them, they open automaticaaly. Maybe with nails. Perhaps have options to make them semi-permenant by gluing them to the wall, but can be painted over.

2) Ability to build underground, or explore underground structures like basements or mines. Maybe be able to make tunnels. Could make for some very tense, suspenseful areas.

3) Ability to dig trenches; could be an effective zed barrier for players with low skill and a shovel, but maybe the noise they make down there could attract more, and eventually it fills up and they start to climb out.

4) More buildable traps and hazards. Bear traps, broken glass on a fence, punji sticks, rigged shotgun, etc.

5) Ability to bury items; dig a hole, use it like a container, cover it with dirt

1. Better animated zombies/charactors.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
2. I'd say more maps i love having a bigger map i've downloaded meny modded maps and i love 90% of them lol.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
3. NPC's would be amazing in this game also to add with my 3rd one how about with NPC's also make it so you can talk to them with "t"(local chat) so for example *t = Hey i'm friendly don't shoot!* *NPC = Alright i won't shoot but try anything funny and i'll take you down!* that kind of thing ;)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
4. I would LOVE to see animals in this game it would make it alot more fun i think for people who live in the forests etc (And maybe less zombies randomly in the forest xD)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
5. and for my last i would have to say special situations where for example if you have a military grade or maybe even any type of walkie talkie that can go connect to a military type signal you can hear location cords (This would add on to be part of a map i've seen you guys mention before where you have a chance to find maps in certain buildings or maybe even houses that you have to match where the cords are on the map you found. Example : *Radio - This is squad 909, we are in route towards Muldraugh/WestPoint cords are 339, 177 north side with a (Air drop,(npc retaliation towards zombies/bandits)Reinforcements, etc etc)
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
I'm not sure about others but something like these would make me want to play this game more then i play League of Legends and i've been playing that over 5 years xD.

1. Creative Mode-Would love to see spawn points for zombies on custom maps would open for more gameplay along with easy to use custom spawn points for players. AI if ever implemented dont forget about being able to fully customize them with gear weapons items and setting up their own names traits ect like normal players. Would also like to make maybe no limit on traits for NPC's? just that extra freedom is what really counts.

2. Different Clothes & Other customizations

3. NPC/Custom Events- Where taking place maybe or able to cutomize whats dropped for your survivors and zombies spawn to defend?

4. Animations-Love to get more indepth with medical, also think medical shouldnt just be an all around thing to acheive for who knows best then a doctor right? like to see amputations, taking blood, using more medical tools like medical table from hospital, bone saws, more indepth in medical field tools and more illness/diseases would be nice in the medical field that only a doctor would have access in curing or noticing then a normal player not in the doctor field. as it is now doctor isnt really viable. would like it to have its own key role and bring more meaning to being it as its importance.

5. Indepth Character customizing- Really makes a person bond with their special character they made and imersion. Not going any further into this one pretty sure yall know what needs to be done.

Great job PZ Creators really the most indepth Zombie game out just needs better animations and maybe a PZ 2 with better graphics would deff buy again!

1. Building physics. The amount of player bases i have seen where they negate zombies all together is just cheap.

2. More Animations, Sitting in chairs while reading a book, Walking down the street smoking a cigerette.

3. More gore. Chopping up zombies, Smashing heads like pumpkins. That sort of stuff.

4. Bigger vanilla map with vehicles.

5. And of course NPC's
Aint_Easy Sep 27, 2016 @ 7:49am 
1. lots of quest

Since topic was cleared and some of my previous things were set i have few wishes (food department) :

1) More ways to preserve food - smoking, pickling, drying (meat and fish)
2) Making jams and juices out of wild berries and strawberries
3) Ability to forage for nuts and acorns
4) Using worms (and rest of the bugs) in bird traps, nuts and acorns in traps for squirels
5) Making potatoes poisonous when eaten raw and make them last good for longer periods of time

Cheers.
