would be nice to have a guitar playing anim like in Stalker :)

Guitar pick works fine for me ;)

Really good stuff, and I like the intro! It's really short, and it has a sort of quirky/well-that-sucks mood that you know the stories will have. I say you should keep it just as it is. The guitar intro, that is.

I wedge a guitar pick in mine =D

Air guitar that plays a sound, like Bill & Ted.

I have a dream... I just want fireplaces and tents so we can sit by the fire at night, cook and play some guitar. :D

This is a tune! Loved it from when it was in The Walking Dead, that country vibe really gets me... Aside from the country/ambient guitar theme here how about some Metallica? LOL http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bg92QpjRcJk

There's a reason I play this on guitar. Bar that, the following always seems appropriate to bust out.

[Credit to n1mble for the idea] N1mble posted a suggestion about chessboards. And mentioned guitars. So I thought it would be koolion if we could have them in the game as usable objects. If you've played S.T.A.L.K.E.R, you'll probably remember huddling by a fire while a guy sat down with a guitar singing in Ukrainian. This'd be a cool feature to implement into the game. Equip guitar - Scroll, Interact - Character Will Sing In Chernarussian While Playing Guitar, Or Just Sing.

Merge

the 'point' of having a guitar would be to add flavor to the game. Everyone keeps throwing that word around 'point' 'reason' 'significance' one of the beautiful things about this game is that we are given the freedom to play as we chose. Military gear and all that is great for some people (myself included) but I think sometimes it would be fun to pull out my guitar, stick a quarter in my coms button, and play a few Niel Young tunes in the middle of cherno. if there were more 'fluff' items this game would be really interesting. Guitars, chess sets, trinkets (necklaces, rings, etc), golf clubs... look around your house and you will get some ideas. really just common, every day things. It would be a great way to give your character more... character without becoming too 'gamey.' I doubt they have time to implement this stuff but it would be great.

I wonder how hard is it to find proper guitar strings in post-apocalyptic chernarus. I'd also like a fancy strap, that'd be nice.

I just turn on local chat and play my own guitar, have been doing it with my unit ever since the mod. :lol:

I support this idea, same with the chess board. We are simulating life realisticly in a post-apocalyptic world... Why wouldn't we play guitar or board games if we feel like.

Not a D&D player among us!? OP you have my beans ;) I'd totally be the guy with the guitar once crafting comes in and we build ourselves that little peace of heaven. Hope to see you there man!

I like the idea itself, but what's the point of it ? If it would give us some benefit then yes, but if it's just animation with singing then it's cool, but it's useless, and you just put yourself into a risk of being heard and shot at without being able to strike back ex. If we kill many people and zombies, or we're wounded bad, our hands are shaky, we're scared, and playing the guitar is the best way to calm down

I would love usable chess sets, I don't know about the guitar though.

Lol um, okay. Pointless argument is pointless. There's no reason to be a fucking dick, or to make assumptions about my "ego," or whatever. Yep, I came up with some ideas about a video game, I must think I'm the "master of the world." B) WOOO MASTER OF THE WORLD! (Guitar solo) Propose a better system then. Oversimplification is boring, and boring is not what this game needs. Honestly the ToH system is a very good amount of simulation for something like taking off a helicopter. Even someone who is skilled at flying a chopper has to startup a helicopter the same way every time. Again, surgery is a real life skill yes, but it's not a "skill" in terms of the game as in "Oh boy I got xp points, now I can level up my surgery skill!" Please. In the apocalypse, doctors would be in short supply, field medicine would be the only way to keep your friends alive. Are you saying that applying a BANDAGE to fix BULLET WOUNDS is more realistic or requires more "skill" than the surgery system proposed? I even said, a dice roll would determine your chances of succeeding or failing at a surgical task, based on the tools you have, and the condition of the patient. Looks like you're actually just splitting hairs to prove your argument, which sounds like a watered-down system which is far less authentic than a real life situation. Obviously we can't simulate every vein and artery in the body, but this is more realistic than "Oh I wrapped my shot torso in a rag, now I'm all better!" lol. And I don't get this ABC thing you keep coming back at me with. Almost every task in life can be boiled down to ABC. How to put on shoes: A: grab shoe. B: Put shoe on. C: Tie laces. What's the difference? The operations, the tools required, this is all in the vein of DayZ. Look at the mod. A: Get engine part. B: Get toolbox. C: Fix entire car engine and drive away. So what are you saying here, exactly? Are you just trolling or do you have something constructive to provide or....?

They have more than one developer; they are capable of doing both of these things at once. While developers have teams, most development tasks are basically a solo effort because two developers working on the same problem are basically going to step on each others toes, duplicate work, overwrite code changes with source control check-ins, and generally make a mess. It's like asking two guitar players to play a song on the same guitar. Sure, they might figure it out, but it's not optimal. Once you have one person working on "zombie pathing" you're not putting other people on that, so they can go work on other things. TL;DR if they don't have enough development muscle at this point to work on "the basics" in addition to new features, then we're all fucked anyway. They won't be finishing this game for years.

I am unaware of specific limitations to the arma engine or game architecture , but have a rough understanding of game theory . i am most excited about Deans mine remarks regarding a stable architectural foundation . We should all thank him if not for this one virtue .

I would really like to see a guitar, and some a card table where you can play cards at. I would REALLY love just taking a break from killing, and having fun with some mates. Would really let up on KoS'ing too! :D In a way haha.

Yes Rockitt give campfire plzzz! Had to join this...somehow it bothers me, I should be able to create fire! Aye! The master of fire. Setting buildings on fire would be on the to-do list I guess. But the flames...so shiny... ;-) Guitar? I can't play guzitar <--sad panda

I've thought about posting an idea like this, holding back because I figured I'd get flamed to death. But yeah I would like some playable instruments to add a little more flavour, I liked how they did it in Lord of the Rings Online (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nQKJuzhmFdw) but finding sheet music and automatically performing said song might be an easier solution. Now I might be wrong on this but I think a lot of those classic campfire folksongs (such as kumbaya m'lord) aren't bound to copyright because the original author is long lost and forgotten and the song has become public domain (like lullabies). Also if that isn't the case I'm sure Rocket knows someone in his environment who can fiddle on an acoustic guitar and record some (basic)tunes.

Just play a real guitar over direct chat.

If someone started playing a guitar I would kill them immediately, even if they were on my team.
