WHAT FUCKING DOGS

People are saying that Rocket has discussed the idea of radios, so who knows, might happen

You may have missed the point - which is not to limit 3rd part comms, but to render their main advantage gone - as you would be making a sound in game when talking

Awesome stuff dude haha i loved metal gear, I read some suggestion asking for radio stations so people could make their own radio show... fuck it would be fun disrupting that shit

radios is a totally logical choice for a global/side channel alternative and would add to gameplay - finding them to begin with, getting them to work / finding frequencies..

cheers for the bump, wish I could change the title

thanks for the support strategos, you're making great points I dont think its impossible on a technical level, especially with a custom solution.. It would be worth the effort, that stories described here are awesome gameplay snippets.

im not so much worried about the 'exploitative' nature of third party comm, more so about the potential loss of quality gameplay

i like this. also bushfires.

yeah this is logical, its frustrating having a knife and still being defenseless though i prefer spawning without weapons

is it not possible to increase FOV for the first person perspective? This is the only reason I use third person when I do, I prefer I higher FOV

edit- since I saw the fire running at that size without fps loss, would it not be possible to just scale the flames at a distance, and when you get close enough to the forest, just use already existing elements to effect? an example would be to -lower visibility to a minimum (fog) -apply screen effects utilizing gamma / contrast -tint in yellow/red/white/whatever colour fits -use heat distortion effects -play loud fire sfx when in the forest suggestions: -bushfires -wood available in the forest (seems logical) -bears/packs of wild dogs in forest/something with random chance of encounter -fucking fishing -change low temp results to hypothermia, infection from wounds or viral transmission -gore / dismemberment just played in a server bugging out with fires, and it reminded me of an idea I think would add cool gameplay.. bushfires, player made and random (lightning) would be an awesome way to hunt animals and players i attached some pics, also have video but the fires were alot more glitchy than the pics suggest will upload the video later when it wont take so long, there was a decent amount of fire (most of it in the sky) which shows that it could be done from a technical level

not if you restrict the chances of catching the fish.. it would also leave you out in the open while you are waiting it would be another option ontop of the cows, goats, rabbits.. personally I'd love to snipe someone then steal their fish

let us know how it turns out :thumbsup:

haha awesome. Fraps that shit, should be interesting

yeah I have no problems with it, just thinking from a marketing perspective. 1+

Yeah, this is a feature I would like to see 1+ Dont know if its too 'touchy' a subject though

Having an element of danger beyond finding other survivors in the forest would be great, animals are a logical choice even one dangerous animal roaming around would be enough to always be on your toes

I feel the same way, cheers for the bump

yeah same, would be great to be able to translate ideas into something workable

I hate political correctness. Still waiting for a game that doesnt bow to public pressure. This would add hilarious gameplay, but will never happen.

this has been suggested before, and I totally agree it would be awesome it goes against the 'lore' of infected and survivors being immune though, and the team certainly do love their lore - to the point that they reject gameplay mechanics such as this to keep in line with the back-story that no one knows about to begin with 1+ it would be cool

it sounds like you think i am proposing some sort of audio version of side channel, which i am not - theres nothing magical about being able to hear people talking near you... did you read the first post or just the title? this happens already.. but in this case you would be able to kill them and silence the spam

sounds like a workable solution, though they would have to force the channel then... or force you switching channels depending on location maybe? thanks for the input, good stuff there thanks for clearing it up, though I didnt take offence or anything - I just jump at the chance lol You make logical arguments against this, those are things i would find distracting too - though are third party solutions such as above a dead end? The user agreement is a given. Anyway thanks again dude.

Awesome post dude, also going to read your link soon. Your story was great, thats exactly the kind of scenario I think we're missing out on not being forced to use direct.
