Sourcarrot 27 Posted February 7, 2013 Hello and as the title suggests I would like to make a suggestion for putting diaries into the standalone.What would they do?A diary would be something that everyone spawns with and is impossible to steal unless the person is dead. Everyday that passes the player could make a entry of around 1000 characters and then that page would be done, you would only be able to write in a page after a completed day. So for example when you character reaches day 1 you can make your entry for day 0. Why?These would add something to surviving for long periods of time and would give the player a sense of accomplishment when they have reached the end of another day. These could also be quite interesting to read for example you find the body of a dead player in the woods and sit down and read his story of his 3 days surviving on dayZ.How would these work?These would be very simple to use. You would spawn in automatically have a space in your tool belt (I think it's called) and then click on it to flick through pages each with the day number on the top. If you are able to write in it then it could have a little sign on it or something and if not then you would just be able to read what you have already written.Although these seem trivial I think they could really add something to the immersion of the game and help some of you show offs let people know how many days you survived.TL;DR diaries are cool. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Fraggle (DayZ) 15720 Posted February 7, 2013 (edited) Don't quote me on this but I think they're going to be in the SA already (at some point). Edited February 7, 2013 by Fraggle Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
gamerman001 182 Posted February 7, 2013 I think itd be better if you could write in it whenever you want. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sourcarrot 27 Posted February 7, 2013 ah neat fraggle. And connor I think it would be allot better if it was kind of a achievement to write another page Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
m.w. vindicator 880 Posted February 7, 2013 This has been suggested 3.45x10^23 times already. Surely you could have found one of those threads and posted there instead. I believe Fraggle is right. I am quite certain that Rocket knows of this idea and that they are working on implementing it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ernst 9 Posted February 7, 2013 I also am pretty sure that it is already confirmed.Notepads are 1000.% (per mille) confirmed for the standalone. So you could make a notepad out of that.Thread closed? :D Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
