I have recently seen the screenshots of Dayz Standalone and i was reading some of the comments and i thought of somthing, Say you kill a player or a hoard of zombies, there is no gore, no blood that pools around there bodys, no blood splatter on the walls, so, What if you kill a human or zombies, there blood gets splatterd on the ground, making it a more detailed enviroment. Tell me your what you think of this idea. Edit* As comments have come in, i have thought another idea, that with the current mod, you hide the body with no effort at ALL. With the blood splatter effect, say you were camping a populated route from the coast north-wards, and you killed someone, You should have to drag there dead body, and hide it yourself, and to go into MORE detail, it could let you say tip water over the blood to wash it away. Another Varient of this could be pour oil somewhere, shoot it too light it on fire and boom, your own trap, A much better, easy source of booby traps, and much less rarer then satchel charges and bear traps (Exclude the current duping) Cheers

mikhail, Dont steal my suggestion or hijack my post. Penny, that is a great idea! i have like assissians creed? that would be sick man that type of mechanics for it! :D

Vindicator, Please Link me to some evidence of Rocket or a Dev saying this. I used the search tool and no posts came up. So, provide evidence and ill re-think. Solitude, That would be so cool! maybe even walking into Cherno with a few hand grenades and a m429 saw And just unleashing on everything that moves, then returning to we it started and look and your handywork :D

XD^ Yes, it would be cool. It needs to be brought to the attention of the Devs.

It uses the same Arma 3 engine, so Your right in the ascpect, sorry forgot about the modifyed Arma 3 engine being used for Standalone. But the crossharis thing would not Suit say a ambushing party, or a sniper with OUT a ghille suit. This would be a game breaking CQB thing put in, this shouldn't be added, maybe not the whole post but i strongly disagree with this idea in particular.

Problem there is that, Like minecraft, Once you choose your name its there forever right? Well by chance you dont like your name down the track your stuck with it, and adding the feature would not only effect dayz player base but would also effect arma playerbase.

*Insert stupid comment*

Depends on your style of sniping, If you want to take pot shots from different postions then a SVD, if you want urban you go m24/dmr, If you want to engage snipers then your choice is m107/as50 ( not saying you can use other rifles but these are easier) My preferd is DMR,its a beast, 2 quick shots to the body and hes dropped. Lovley close quater sniping at 100-300 Metres.

Using the search function Would of told you that this has been suggested before, a few times from what i can remember, So please Before making a post about somthing that has been suggested before, Use your brain first.

Well first of, Its a 50/50 chanve that he was a hacker, but it also could be your fault as your not concentrating on the game. This isn't a Mod where your safe at any spot on the map, Your open to gunfire from everywhere. Just my 2 cents.

Cant tell if troll or not, Either way You have my beans! :D

To counter The bodys being hidden and you finding them by the pools of blood, They could make it that you HAVE to hide it yourself (Dont know if its been sugested or not) Thus making it more of a detailed experince for bandits and zombie hunters alike. I may add this to the post if it hasn't been suggested before hand. Thanks for the feed back!

A counter-measure to that would be that it only stays for a certain amount of time, maybe 10 minutes tops or my first idea was that it would be after each server restart. The Arma 2 client doesnt hold zombies that well (Could do much better) But with new performance and tweaks to the client of arma i think this would be possible.

I like them suggestions, it was intented on a cosmetic suggestion but that could be good also. Thanks for you suggestion!

I like it because It adds more sense of comfort. Some people hate it as stated above, but as a bandit ( myself ) I love it, it can set up some great ambushes but i have helped newcomers/survivors here and there,
