No Pepsi, Coca-Cola or Heinz in standalone

What shall we call Mountain Dew now? Perhaps Hill Mist? Maybe Valley Fog?

Creative minds and artists of this community, unite and make those labels happen!

Time for a nice refreshing Kamyshovo Kola!

edit: I dont think the proportions are right for the label wrap but you get the idea...

I'm surprised how easily people give up on this. I'm not convinced that Heinz wouldn't let their name be used if people pushed the issue.

Do you honestly want them to waste time and development funds just to keep a label that people view at most a few seconds in game? Especially with the creative talent in the community that can create creative commons works they could use?

Hello there

Or we could have some sort of compo to get a product in game named after a forum user?

"Lok's Nuts" for example.

no?

"Blindingsun Beans, it's the choice of champions". I like the sound of that.

It is early days yet, if work is going to be caried out this year on the updates and changes, I'm sure you could find other, more deserving, companies who would give both their hands for such free wide advertisement.

All i can say is screw any company who misses this opportuninty. Heinz and co will kick themselves when DayZ is released and sells a shoite load. Ill bet they are knocking on rockets door then.

Agreed. They've probably ignored the calls thinking BIS/Rocket are just some loony game devs. When they realise that they could be missing out on shed loads of free advertising they'll be smashing your doors down to be involved.

Then I can keep my Avi :)

I think you underestimate just how much of an image and icon Heinz beans are in DayZ. Have you seen a single dayz cosplay costume that doesn't involve heinz? Have you seen a single real life dayz youtube video that doesn't have heinz in it? How about people that have been to chernarus IRL? All of them have cans of heinz in the pictures. Notice the forum? "You have my beans!" button with the can of heinz next to it? This is a missed opportunity by Heinz.

What will Fraggle base his profile picture off now? It won't ever be the same!

To be honest, this gives the Dev Team to recognise some outstanding members of the DayZ community.

Rebrand!

Turn Pespi into Dr. Wasteland's Power Quench.

Turn Heinz Baked Beans into Derpy Baked Beans.

Turn the rare Mountain Dew into a can of Rocket's Thrust Juice.

and yes, that is a euphemism.

Oop's

I just contacted Heinz, rocket best be ready and Bohemia for that matter.

I was polite and sincere and also carried out a simple request with honourable intention.

I hope Heinz say no. I loathe and detest ALL beans with a vengeance.

Oxtail soup? Now that's scrummy!

I'm pretty gutted about this but I kind of expected it. No big-name company wants to be associated with a violent game, unfortunately.

I think the dev team just need to think up some funny alternatives and we'll get used to it. I'll miss my beanz though. :(
