    One of my suggestions is making more towns in the middle of the map, and good ones! As you know already, there aren't really any good towns near the middle of the map, it's also really a bummer that you usually have to go west/east everytime you want to get geared up for major towns. This is why I suggest making zone 4+ towns near or north of the center. Also, there should be a zone 6 on the top left area of the map (or just expand the map a bit so you can fit one in). As for loot, lower the possibility of finding flint and steel and hatchets.

    (P.s, sorry but I can't answer all these questions right now, I'm kinda busy, maybe next week? :V)

    You can prevent combat logging by making a plugin that will count combat logging as logging when an enemy is 20-50 blocks away
    Multiple dimensions would be cool although I don't think it would really be needed.
    There should be an expansion to building and resource gathering like adding blocks to break but not blocks that are found a lot
    Also in the new update make sure to have all the biomes that 1.7 will be having like hardened clay and redwood forests

    WarZ is missing a stealth element, where sprinting attracts zombies from a farther range, and sneaking helps avoid zombies. Just like in DayZ.

    Dwarf, I dislike your combat logging idea, because, what if someone's near you, but you've friended them?
    I think element gathering would be cool, personally.
    Also, a PvE server would be nice. :grinning:

    Some of my personal thoughts
    General Questions:
    What are some features we should add or remove?

    Add cars, remove player name tags, hiding from zombies, clans or parties.
    What annoys you about WarZ?
    You can stack food and just tank people.
    What is good about WarZ?
    The PvP fights are awesome (if you have a group)

    Map Questions:
    What is good about the current map?

    Some of the unique towns like the prison, northern town, and west airport.
    What is bad about the current map?
    Small, you can run directory north.

    What would you like to see in the next map?
    More areas to travel, rivers, lakes, cave systems.

    Other:
    How should we prevent combat logging?
    If a player is within a certain distance and they log out it should create a NPC that walks around and even shoots if attacked.
    If they want to log out when a player is near them they have to stand still and do /logout.
    If there are no players in a certain area a player can log out without generating a NPC.
    Should we have multiple dimensions?
    Different dimensions to travel to would make the game last a lot longer. You would actually have goals such as gathering obsidan for portals to travel to the nether (or such).

    Would you be interested in a building or resource gathering element?
    Yes, allowing users to gather stone, wood, and other things to create items out of found blueprints (like Play Rust does).
    Gathering them would be like Runescape, ores, stones, and logs regenerate after a certain number of time.

    Should we implement a leveling system?
    If mining, woodcutting, crafting, medicing, etc were added I believe users should be able to level those stats per life and maybe have overall levels also.

    Would you be down for PvE and PvP servers?
    I don't think enough players would be interested in playing a PvE server, unless there was bosses, cars, and a lot of other things to do besides for killing zombies over and over.

    Extra:
    Safetowns - Trading, NPC buying, currency (Like WarZ the game)
    Dedicated PvP Areas - Wilderness lines, where you can set wagers and cannot logout
    Noobtowns - Restricted PvP maybe

    I honestly don't play WarZ that much. However, in the 5 or 10 hours I have played it, I had given up due to RDM'ers. There should be more of a survival aspect instead of pvp. The collecting and scavenging items is fun alone, but when everyone is killing/ trying to kill you I think "What's the point?". Please make it enjoyable. I might as well go play on McBrawl if there is just pvping.

    That's why i wrote enemy instead of friends who you play with and if you friended them and the didn't friend you then they probably don't wanna be your friend.

    Could add a party system where users cannot attack each other and when they want to leave they have to /party leave and it gives like a 1 minute warning so the party can be ready to fight the betrayer.

    General Questions:
    • What is WarZ missing? Legitimate roads from town to town connecting most of the major towns. So big city to big would have big paved multi-lane roads, small town roads would be dirt roads, etc. That way it can have more of a connected feeling instead of being isolated.
    • What did we do wrong?
    • What are some features we should add or remove? Safe towns and have a trading system in those trading towns. Also perhaps a currency.
    • What annoys you about WarZ? Loggers.
    • What is good about WarZ? The map size to active players ratio is pretty good usually. The map is big enough so it isn't packed with people but small enough to where you cant find anyone.
    Map Questions:
    • What is good about the current map? It has a escalating feel. So the deeper you go into it the better loot you find. It's not random to where a zone 2 town is right next to a zone 6 town
    • What is bad about the current map?
    • What would you like to see in the next map? More towns, and a bit bigger.
    Other:
    • How should we prevent combat logging? Add a /logout command and have it wait 7 seconds before it logs you out of the server. Otherwise it leaves an npc if you just straight disconnect.
    • Should we have multiple dimensions? If we do we would need to have really big portals for them so people can find them easily. Not a regular vanilla portal, it wouldn't be epic enough.
    • Would you be interested in a building or resource gathering element? I think building should be added. So in the wilderness teams can have big bases and it would add a whole new element to the game, raiding.
    • Should we implement a leveling system? Maybe but it depends what the reward of having higher levels would be. I think maybe if you get higher levels from either killing zombies, or people, or healing people or whatever you get leveled from. If you get a higher level, you get a better percentage chance to maybe spawn with a tier 1 gun and a little bit of ammo. For example: I have a decent level so I spawned with an mp5 and 16 bullets.
    • Would you be down for PvE and PvP servers? Not separate servers, maybe separate towns that are safe from pvp, like safe towns as I said above.

    • What are some features we should add or remove?
      Stealth mechanic idea :
      Hide nametags
      Reduce compass detection range
      "Loud actions" will boost detection range ^ for a few seconds
      Maybe a noise indicator like the boss bar to go along with it, that would be nice
    • What is bad about the current map?
      Lack of direction.
      It was awhile until I discovered the high tier areas.
      Maybe some road signs or obvious pointers would be nice for new players and veterans alike.

    • Would you be interested in a building or resource gathering element?
      Yes, I think this would add some spice into the game

    • Should we implement a leveling system?
      I think a leveling system is a good idea.
      I just hope the rewards are small so the gap between the weekend warrior and the hardcore player wouldn't be so wide.
    So, that's my take on it.
    Revisions are appreciated.

    General Questions:
    • What is WarZ missing? I think the combat system needs to be more in-depth, maybe a damage bonus to all weapons except snipers, this would mean that battles would be riskier, it would also discourage just killing everyone on sight as this would drain resources faster.
    • What did we do wrong? I feel that becoming a bandit/hero means nothing, there should be more incentive other than changing the color of your name tag...
    • What are some features we should add or remove? Most of the plugins would well, I can't think of any major features than the ones I mentioned above or have been suggested by others (particularly that stealth idea, that looks cool.)
    • What annoys you about WarZ? How everyone kills on sight, without teamspeak or skype you have almost no hope of joining a team.
    • What is good about WarZ? It does a very good job of feeling like a zombie survival apocalypse experience. It has a nice feel to it and it does what it's supposed to, for the most part.
    Map Questions:
    • What is good about the current map? I actually like the large "wilderness" sections, although they tend to drag a bit.
    • What is bad about the current map? It needs more unique sections in some areas, too much zone 1.
    • What would you like to see in the next map? More biomes than just a huge grassland, a desert, a small nether section, and a small snow section. Canyons, jungles, and ruins would be nice.
    Other:
    • How should we prevent combat logging? The only surefire way I can think of the the /logout system, but that has it's own problems. (Forgetting, needing to go on a short notice, ect.)
    • Should we have multiple dimensions? We already have a "nether biome" but an end dimension could be awesome if done right.
    • Would you be interested in a building or resource gathering element? Eh, no.
    • Should we implement a leveling system? Have players with tons of loot get an even larger advantage over new spawns? No.
    • Would you be down for PvE and PvP servers? While it annoys me sometimes, I think PvP is just part of the experience, I would never play on a PvE WarZ server myself.
