Gray Wolf

Another idea my friend came up with is some kinda face paint, like how football players have the black under there eyes. I think its a good idea but no camo cause that can give an unfair advantage but I don't know. I also suppose they could add crazy hair color, I mean if you want hot pink hair and stick out like a sore thumb thats your call.

My main issue with this would be that the player being a zombie would lead to many unfair and untimely deaths due to it being a player whom would gladly kill snipers and flank people. For the zombie boss, well it is more of a zombie survival simulation type game, meant to be based more along realism not fantasy. Although those are some awesome ideas I don't see them fitting in very well, but props for the idea. I never thought of that type of thing.

You need to get a mob of players to streak, like a crowd of 20 people streaking in elektro with a bigger crowd of zombies chasing them. I can only imagine what would go through someones mind when they see this.

As hilarious as that would be, I don't see it happening But it would be awesome to be a sniper over electro watching a midget running around hacking peoples knees

See although that would be hilarious it would also be unfair, if a 3 foot tall character is going against an average 6 foot tall character the little guy has an enormous advantage over the other guy due to his height. Thats why im suggesting only facial and head customization.

Thats another great point, and although you can find clothes and what not which adds individuality sometimes theres the choice between the personal touch and its usefulness. For example, if I'm playing and I find a kevlar vest for bullet protection but I hate the look, its the conflict between keep it cause it may save me or trash it cause its not appealing. I know that was a terrible example but you get the point.

Yeah, that was off the wall haha, but you do get my point changing our characters to give it the personal touch. In my opinion maybe have realistic hair colors like black, brown, etc. Nothing like hot pink or neon green, keep the games realism haha.

I wouldn't say going that far but in a sense yes, just the small things can sometimes be the coolest aspects.

So in the DayZ standalone game from what I've heard you will be able to choose your gender and your ethnicity. Thats freaking awesome and all but what if they want just a small bit further? No not full customization like Skyrim but purely your facial and head customization. Such as your hair, its color, eye color, etc. Yeah the bandit thats looking down his sights at you wont see you anything more then his next victim but it's one of those little things that I and I'm sure many others enjoy. Plus even my girlfriend loves DayZ (shes definitely not the best survivor), but she hates how the women have there hair in a bun all the time. So why not have the choice of short hair or long hair or having it in a ponytail. Although in a zombie apocalypse being munched by a zombie because it grabbed your long hair sucks but hell why not go out with style eh? Long story short why not let us choose facial hair and the little things on a our characters face and head to give it a more personal touch. I also know that Rocket and the staff are paying closer attention to hacking issues and getting the basic layout smoothed out but we could even see this in an update, so what does everyone else think?
