Thanks dude! Yeah I agree actually, having a larger time frame would make it more of a chore for people to hang around but not too long for others that are willing to wait so that we can still have the 50/50 chance of someone stalking others. Thanks!

That has already been implemented into the game hasn't it? also with crows you would be able to spot the death scene from a greater distance giving a greater advantage for both bandits to trap survivors and for survivors to either avoid or hunt.

The game does already have Crows flying freely around and I Imagine the developers would not need to give the crows that great of textures seeing as we would never get close enough to see them face to face. it wouldn't take much for the server to load such a small thing, also I guess they would be on a timer so you probably wont have more than 15 to 20 flying around at one time

Thanks! I do see what you mean, however I imagine the developers could give the crows something like a 100 square Meter spawn radius with a limit of roughly 4 to 5 crows flying around so that if any one dies within the 100 meter radius there will still only be 4 - 5 crows flying around. That way it wouldn't be too much of a give away, avoiding clustered skies ? Also I imagine people would also use it as a warning letting them know trouble isn't too far away! There could even be a timer allowing the Crows to circle for only 10 or 15 minutes, that way the killer has time to vacate the area or enough time to set up camp to trap unsuspecting survivors. Not trying to toot my own horn here but I honestly think this is a really good idea that with smooth planning could work in every ones favour :)

In ARMA II "Private Military Company" Crows circle the dead bodies after some time of the character being killed. Could we please see this in DayZ replacing the Flies or even combining Circling Crows with the Flies buzzing around the body? Any thoughts?
