Easter Eggs in DayZ

[mr_chabowski@live.co.uk 2416]

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

Yeah, just recycle the "stinky-pile" from the first (second) Red Harvest mission, except with coyote patrol packs and flashlights strewn all over the place. :thumbsup:

Dancing. I dunno just some random dude....in the distance dancing. Very rare spawn. IF you go to where you saw him he will not be there but you will find a tent with some decent loot.

All games should have dancing.

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..

You mean rip off Rage?

So...so many games did that before rage.

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.

Maybe a Wall full of pictures of missing people like in the "The Wall" trailer from Crysis 2, but one of these is a photoshopped Rocket pic (not all the time).

Subtlety is the key. A broken copy machine in a office building with a logo that says Titov Corporation on it?

[mr_chabowski@live.co.uk 2416]

I lol'd

Aaaaaah, Sergey. He's now popular the world over. His mother must be very proud.

@Viktor -

We could have the entire "Hammperpoint Interactive" office building. It's just a photocopier and a money-counting machine.

A location on the map called Hammer Point? On my phone, keeping it short :)

[Michaelvoodoo25 3120]

I would like DayZ to keep well away from warzzzzz refferences. I wouldn't accociate with it in a million years. Your only gonna Immortalise them.

"You gotta shoot 'em in the head. Then you gotta burn 'em"

[terrvik 2409]

What about clocks with longer hours made by Valverocket - "Never too late!"

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.

That's the very definition of easter eggs in my eyes.

The other things are just some kind of secrets, which can be nice too but that's not really what this thread was supposed to be about.

Easter eggs shouldn't really be something like a special item but more something like a reference to a famous flaw of the mod as you mentioned it.

Something like a place where a zombie drops from the sky and dies about 10 times a day.

[joe_mcentire 2074]

i think it would be neat to find some secret references that there was a base or something where they tried to create Stalin's Ape-Man Army

[slivniku@gmail.com 93]

a rare "no no no no no no no no" zombie that doesn't attack you but makes circles around you

A giant tin of beans

[joe_mcentire 2074]

no not circles around you! AROUND ITSELF!!

idkfa on the helicopter registration markings or on a license plate of a car.

A death to zombies logo on a helicopter insignia.

Original discs don't FADE. somewhere on a building in Chernarus or a glass of the house.

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

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.

I liked all of the ideas that you came up with. I wish they would add something like a crashed plane (maybe lootable if you can swim underwater) at the bottom of a Black Lake or somewhere in reference to the book "Hatchet". Or maybe a house out in the middle of the woods that looks like the one from Evil Dead. The kind of Easter Eggs that you have to put two and two together. Also we need something that makes a really good reference to the fact that chances are there wont be children in the SA.

A meteor crash site in chenarus.

[shadowleaper 22]

Idea:

Easter eggs are random, rare as heck spawns that look like the dead bodies of the Devs.

Looting their corpse, you'll find a super can of beans that cures you to full health and removes all diseases.

[vaevictis 18]

A can of beans with "horse" meat that makes you sick... :D

[joe_mcentire 2074]

a burned down tin can factory - as a sign and memorial ;)

edit: there you could find - in the worst condition - all of the notorious cans

[Rekli 995]

a boarded up house with a working door bell and a sign saying Apache was here? |(one of his shitty suggestions)

maybe a ittle ewok hut (another apache ref)

[Rekli 995]

what is this can incident? i've never ever seen it...though i did read the post by rocket...link?
