ShazMo09 7 Posted January 20, 2013 (edited) At the moment I dont really enjoy/get the dynamics of how we hide bodies in DayZ. What I mean is it only take a few seconds to hide a body underground so players can not A) Come back for their gear or B)Other players wont stumble across them.I was recently playing with 2 friends doing some overwatch sniping. I was posted about 250-300 metres away from my closest teammate. I had a player creep up on me and take me out with an assualt rifle. Within seconds my teammate was on it and took him out. They went over to watch over my gear when yep, you guessed it...Body was hidden. It just doesnt make sense if your looking at it in the real world that a human could bury another human body in 4-5 seconds...Lettalone without any shovels etc...I think a great addition to DayZ would be to make the burial quite lengthy...Such as 30-45 seconds or so and maybe you also need to find a shovel or something to do so. It would add some tense decision making moment when in the moment you have to decide whether to run into that field to check then hide the body or play it safe and just move on because it would take over a minute looting then hiding the body..It would make it much more realistic and it would make that run back to Stary from the coast worth it because there is a higher chance the person may not have hid the body. You can almost guarantee you body/loot will be gone after death as it is so quick to hide it...The way it is now I just dont buy it...Looks more like a magic disappearing act than someone burying a human corpse!

Wep0n 532 Posted January 20, 2013 that indeed is true.i hope that as soon as they make ragdolls you can hide bodies in bushes or something, or as you already mentioned, burying him properly.looting bodies will become difficult anyway, as they will be infested with sicknesses.so you will not have the usual "loot and hide body" tactics, you might not want to come close to him anyways, so that will solve the problem partially.for now, aslong as they do not have a proper burial or ragdoll system, they should disable "hide body" and rather focus on the disease system on dead bodies. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Testwd3r235 2810 Posted January 20, 2013 people need to understand DayZ project is already under shit tons of unimaginable pressure, these posts are pointless and just take up spaceIf that's the case why is there a suggestions thread? It is because they can find good ideas and put them in the SA. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Dayz Steve 26 Posted January 20, 2013 It would be good for a character to need a shovel as well. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Wep0n 532 Posted January 20, 2013 people need to understand DayZ project is already under shit tons of unimaginable pressure, these posts are pointless and just take up spacethis stuff is not going to be implemented right away, it is more a suggestion for the future, so that they know what to focus on after the SA is out.they sure have priorities, you should not worry too much.

slivniku@gmail.com 93 Posted January 20, 2013 +1 on longer hide body& shovel required, question is what hundreds of bodies in the open will do to servers thoughbut you should not be able to loot your own body (if you try to loot your own body it hides as is now or something) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Hetstaine 10852 Posted January 21, 2013 I want to be able to hang them, not hide them. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
attorney1977 311 Posted January 21, 2013 (edited) Hang 'em high would rule. Or heads on spikes. Or both.Maybe only allow hide body with the E-Tool or somesuch. Hide body option should be disabled when in a building. Where are you supposed to hide them? Under the floor tiles??They could also put in a drag corpse option as well, and option to put body in boot of car. Edited January 21, 2013 by Horde Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
