{standalone} Character Traits (with new tools!)

[The stromling 0]

EDIT: I wonder why no one likes my ideas? they sound good to me.

There should be traits which help you survive, but different traits help you differently.

there would be 5 levels in each trait, every time you upgrade a trait, you have to do more in that trait, it will also be very hard to get trait points! once you have level 5 you cannot lose the skin unless you toggle it to a different skin!

?? means that i don't know what to put here!

Traits

you start with 1 trait point.

Intelligence.

Level 1 - ability to lock pick!

Level 2 - when studying a body, it tells you the exact gun used

Level 3 - when studying a body, it tells you the direction the bullet came from (only works if they got kill by the actual bullet!)

Level 4 - Salvage bullets from dead people. (maybe)

Level 5 - Special "Smart Teen Boy" and "Smart Teen Girl" skins.

way to get trait points - study bodies, modify guns, lock pick (when unlocked) and crafting.

Rocket said that there will be no RPG elements in DayZ SA because they limit your character.

Just no traits at all Lol. This isn't sims or fallout 3. If you want traits go play those games

The idea of leveling /classes has been put on the table quite a few times in suggestions. I dont think it would be a good path to go down as I play to avoid such things as this.

This.

[Death_Dealer 3155]

So you're basically saying that the survivors appear in this apocalyptic world with little to no knowledge about anything, then suddenly start learning new skills?

[Inception. 9443]

This has, as Steak stated, been discussed many times previously, and for that I am locking this topic.

Why do we need traits? Skills? Nothing like that should be implemented. The skill of a player should lay with the person himself/herself. Practice is a key factor. We don't need skills and such.
