Easter Eggs in DayZ

[Ernst 9]

Hey Guys,

the search option didn't give me any results so I just wanted to go for suggestion that would make me and I bet many other people very happy :

Add some Easter Eggs to the game

I love finding easter eggs in game and I always walk around looking for every detail on a map.

So this isn't really hard to make and most people wouldn't even notice but those who do would definitely enjoy this.

I thought about something like a "Rocket"-Zombie that only spawns at one location or things like that?

The easter eggs don't have to give you any advantage, they should be there for amusement and excitement :)

So come on! Post some of your ideas for easter eggs!

Santa Claus inside one of the chimneys in Cherno.

Edit: oh, ideas...nevermind.

..i never searched, but i think in one of chernos high chimneys, when you climb the leaders to the top and look down the chimney there is a picture of bad Santa at the bottom..

Well yeah that's the kind of stuff I am talking about, but maybe a little bit more related to the zombie apocalypse situation.

Maybe even some "special" clothing that doesn't give you any advantage but looks different. So more like a prestige thing.

Edit : Okay snowcrash42 found the video and added it to his comment so I removed it

the new dayz orgins mod has 16 different levels of clothing (i think) for bandits and heros pretty cool

In the SA I want to see some of the "Just seen rocket" pictures on the walls and in other media.

[OrLoK 16185]

I'd like to see "easter eggs". scrummy chocolate...yum.

I really would like to see references to some forum related stuff (threads/arguments etc rather than members) ingame, even if it were very oblique.

Apart from easter eggs, some characters from horror stories that are around the forum could be good. Just for the laughs. I specifically liked very much the one in Skalisty Island with the Ghost Lady. The amount of people that go to Skalisty is small. Even smaller is the amount of people visiting the lighthouse area. So it would be a good place to have a little extra horror.

On topic now, easter eggs are fun. I remember the one of namalask at Object AI2. I could not stop laughing. A good one(personal taste) could be, NE and NW AF, same buildings, there is a 0.01% chance that you might find the 3 kerbals roaming around ^_^ . Me like references to other games. I remember the minecraft reference to Boarderlands 2. It was good fun.

Cheers.

You mean the "Yo dawg" one?

I found that one hilarious either :D

[Udak 104]

Super-zombie at green mountain that only moves (teleports?) when you aren't looking at it, and only attacks from behind.

[Bat (DayZ) 230]

I know that the forums moderator remember the legend. Rocket surely I seen some of his absurd post.

A picture of the WarZ meta-critic page...

Yeah I'm a fanboi.

Rocket is already doing this. He is putting the communities stories into ingame books. I have a few stories from various games and just random other shit. I might submit one. Wouldn't it be badass to have one of your works in the game.

[Ernst 9]

Maybe some famous "The Walking Dead" places? I'd like that :D

[RobbL (DayZ) 26]

A pub called the "Winchester krčma" with a lootable winchester over the bar. And maybe wieldable pool cues.

You mean your search didn't find this? http://dayzmod.com/forum/index.php?/topic/121784-easter-egg-request/

Nope it didn't :)

Edit : Well the search function is pretty fussy so it doesn't find the post if you type in "Easter Eggs" but only "Easter Egg". So now I found it

I was thinking of more classic first Pearson/quake style secret rooms, like first you have to find a trigger or lever to pull, opens a secret door with something like super can that restores 5000 health or some really rare wep, or a nice dayZ hoody..

Or an entrance than can only be entered if you crouch in exactly one spot, or you have to roll inside, something like the hospital glitch, but more precise and with no option to shoot players that are outside..

[mr_chabowski@live.co.uk 2416]

Secrets will only be secret until the first time somebody finds it. A Quake/Duke3D room kinda only works in singleplayer games.

The kinds of easter eggs I'd like implemented would be subtle references, that if you don't get it, you wouldn't know it was even a reference to anything.

I wouldn't like there to be anything that (I HATE saying this) breaks immersion too much.

A wall, covered with photoshopped photos of Rocket, would be a bit too immersion breaking IMHO.

EDIT:

Quads, if included, should have a 50% chance to initially spawn on their side.

Maybe also have the option to reload your hatchet. Even though it would serve no actual purpose.

Maybe a little memorial to suicider idiots at the lighthouse closest to Kamenka.

A "mass grave" located a the bottom of the bridge.

When someone in-game sneezes, they say Gesundheit.

Seriously though, I always loved searching for Easter Eggs. Wouldn't the story they plan to implement count as an Easter-egg?
