Yeah, but its always nice to have that separation between new players and more experienced players so that both new players cant immediately hit the International Airfield, or the more experienced players praying on the new ones.

I knew some1 would say something bout a vampire on that... and at the top i did say that there wasn't really a backstory to slenderman being in DayZ, however (maybe i just haven't read enough about it) there isnt really a backstory as to why Chernarus is filled with zombies anyway, perhaps its supernatural? If it is actually a legit virus, then right, slenderman doesn't really fit into that scene. And ya, i was just goin for the whole "holy hell im gonna die and have nightmares for the next week" feeling and Slenderman was the first thing that came to mind

Maybe so, but i think it would be scary as hell if i looked behind me, saw something, and looked again to see that it was gone or suddenly in another place or maybe even draining my blood levels.

yes, exactly. and i nearly shit myself. the only thing is, it didnt actually do any damage to the guy except for scaring the living hell out of him. i would think that if it is gonna be in DayZ, that it would be in some way lethal or else it may lose its lasting effect.

I dont really know if there has been a thread specifically about Slenderman, but i have both the idea and some traits it might have if it is added to DayZ. Although there is really no backstory to it, i do think it would be a great idea and add a great scare to the game as well as add a whole new level of insecurity to the DayZ experience. here are some things that it could do. -Teleportation: Of course, according to the legend, Slenderman is a 4th dimensional creature that can teleport, but for those of you worrying about how OP this may be, i think that that it may only be able to TP a max distance (50-100m every 5 seconds per se), and may only TP/move if it is not within sight of the player. I also think that it may only be able to TP so long as there is no direct LOS between it and a player so that one moment, it could be in one spot, the player turns around and back, and it teleports and is now in a completely different spot and hopefully it could be close and scare the hell out of them. -Attacking: Of course it has to be able to attack players. my idea for this is that it may be able to attack in some way from a relatively long distance compared to zombies (10-20m?), but the attacks deal a normal amount of damage, because there is nothing worse than an unbeatable monster that kills you and takes your stuff without a way to prevent it from doing so. Regarding Aggravation, Slenderman may be able to attack or "stalk" the nearest player at NO max distance. (feel free to add on to this one or any of these for that matter) Another thing regarding its attacks, it may only attack when looked at as to stick to the legend, however i am not necessarily bound to this idea and if Rocket thinks so, then it may still be able to attack even when out of the player's Field of view. Also, to add a bit more to it, it doesn't have an attack animation as to make it seem a bit more unnerving. -Spawning: Slendermen are a one-of-a-kind creature and may only contain one per server, however as to not make it too OP, they can die. To level the playing field a bit so that it is not too strong, i would suggest that it not have too much HP, but that, I will leave entirely up to Rocket (and whoever else may work on DayZ.) so that if they want it to become sort of a "boss" rather than just a rare encounter, they can up the HP a bit. Slenderman may respawn when killed, but i have no clear idea of how often, but i would suggest that it spawn in the northwestern half as to keep it from attacking new players. Another idea is to add as a server option as to announce the death of slenderman and/or the players killed by it. Again, I think that adding a slenderman to the game may add a huge scare to the game and any player that may be attacked/stalked by it. Also, you may never know if you're its next target and it will add another sense of insecurity and alertness to the game keeping your head on a swivel watching out for it to make sure its not stalking you next...

That would suck if you had a bunch of stuff and died...i just happen to have an epi-pen on me and i am heading that general direction to pick up my friend. after that i could come by and stick you with that? name the server, time, location, and whatever so i can meet you there. Edit: either that or i could take a detour to you THEN get my friend...
