Gore/blood in standalone DayZ + ears ringing after heavy gunfire

[KetchupOnTheDog 41]

In a zombie apocalypse, i feel blood/gore is an important part of immersion. You can cut zombies heads off with a long blade, or smash their skull in half with a hammer. (think walking dead) Cut their legs off so you can mess around with them. (yes i am a sick bastard) Add blood splatters from shooting or meleeing zombies/survivors that would remain on walls and anyone who comes in contact with the blood for a period of time. For me, this would make killing zombies hell of alot of fun, and add some new dynamics to the game.

And also: Add temporary deafness or ringing of the ears after firing heavy weaponry, such as an LMG or sniper rifle. Nothing too long or permanent, just about 5-10 seconds of ringing after heavy fire. This adds to the intensity of shooting a huge weapon. (I believe this is already in a few arma 2 mods)

In one part maybie you´re right but where we are going with this? Next you can cut heads off from little childs? Satanism on Green Mountain? I think that would be too much for a survivel game. The Z´s are boring after a while but WHEN you are bored from them you are getting careless and them they will get you.

I really like the deafness after shooting. But that MUST be also in by fireing handguns cause they are really loud too. ´That would be really cool

You play the wrong game, dude.

Sell your last underwear for some crack, na?

The hell are you two on about? Keep it on topic.

I think having blood splatter would be awesome, and it should stay there until server restart.

[PracticalTactical 164]

I support all these ideas that are mentioned. More gore please, let me live the horrors of the apocalypse.

You ever used a grenade in a fire fight? It blows your ear off.

Actually get single player and 'hack' in a chopper. Then fly it into a tree with your head phones on at loud.

But yeah shooting someone with a high powered gun and it making you temporarily deaf as well as them exploding into a gorey mess would be cool. Correct me if I'm wrong, but I recall Rocket saying that he wanted to add in gore, but it would mean that it couldn't be released in Australia or something.

Couldn't be released in Australia...well shit.

Combat deafness from grenades and so on would be great. The ACE mod does it really well and it adds to the immersion as well as tactics. I'd like more gore too. I remember seeing something from Rocket saying he didn't want too much gore but he did want the game to make you shit yourself (literally as it turns out).

Good god, another display of players for the psychiatric ward.

Though some minor bleeding animation would be appreciated, anything other than the current Strawberry jam fountains the player displays.

[Kyzahh 127]

Yes, I seem to remember that the Australian version of L4d2 had no gore in it.

[Fraggle (DayZ) 15720]

I didn't realise the Aussie authorities were so sensitive. I've always viewed the Aussies as a fairly laid back bunch.

Oh they are.

Unless you put gore in video games.

That's the worst kind of thing.

(I believe it's because they don't have an R18 rating for games. It's either R16 or banned.

[Fonziе 159]

Wasn't it cannibalism he was talking about when he said it might have some problems in Australia?

[UmBe 125]

Make The ringing better as in ACE, because you can Fire an M4 all day Long in Full Auto and your ears will Never ring, but when you Start shooting your M249 you ears fly Off After about One Second ..

I'm also agains Gore, because The authorities in Germany are also Way to sensitive about such Things. And when They Start to redact a Game they tend to overdo it, like in L4D2 where they Not only remove all Gore and blood but The Bodies of The Zombies disappear After One millisecond, once they are Shot.

DW the R18 law here passes jan 1 2013. Also the idea of someone beating the living crap out of a player with a baseball standard.(Inglorious bastard style). Also if you hit them in certain areas different type of damage. Eg hit them in the shin their bones pop up the skin.

[Grodenn 53]

Yes please, beans too you sir!

To all people complaining about the censoring, you are all looking at it in the wrong way. It's not the game that has to change it is the freaking retarded laws that practise censorship that needs to be changed. The worst thing that can happen is an artist applying self censorship to he's own work.

[Shadow Man 142]

More gore definitely.

[Vincenzo (DayZ) 97]

Anyone ever played beyond DayZ? And tryed ACE?

It's a mod for ARMA II, and one of the features is, that after firing a belt of a M240(alot of others ofcourse) for example, you'll hear a ring in your ears, like grenades in normal arma. If you keep on firing, you'll go deaf. for ever untill you die.

there is a method to stop this, by plugging in Earplugs. that will keep you from getting deaf from (heavy)gunnery. and btw I shouldn't think that hand guns could damage your ears so soon.. with a LMG you can get it in a few secs, with a handgun you should start talking about months maybe years, unless you aren't using you're average handgun ofcourse, ;) .357 or desert eagle.

Could be an idea, Earplugs to prevent ear damage eh.

Not replying to those specific posts (another older thread) but the ideas :

No "but". Killing proper gory zombies never gets old. If it does, you don't get zombies and aren't playing the right game.. I personally care almost nothing about other players. I only want to pulp a maximum number of braindead cannibal bipeds.

Good god, another display of players for the psychiatric ward.

Unless you've never virtually done anything equivalent to serious harm in reality to another video game avatar, you are in it too by "playing" the equivalent of one of those killing spree maniacs: technically a serial killer, at the very least. Gory spectacle is in human nature - see literature before modern age. The same people that gave western civ their golden standards had a knack for gore. And for appealing to the same instincts that movies and games like DayZ exploit.
