[Stand Alone] No Cars in Alpha.

[nickstarship 3]

In a video I was watching I heard Dean Hall say something about no cars in the initial release of alpha just to clarify.

To solve this problem, I think we should use the work in progress of animals as temporary sources of travel like in some parts of the world. Horses are out of the question for the first year because that would require allot of effort and would not take any action until maybe 6+ Months after alpha since they will be working on core parts of gaming experience.

So my Suggestion is to implement a riding system for the animals you have. I know it may look stupid riding around a goat,boar,or cow but that is what the alpha is for right? To see what we should implement in the "Some what Finished version"

Of course in order to even ride an animal you would most likely need to find an item of some caliber like a satchel, not a satchel charge,(or put in satchels with explosives in it so you can have suicidal goats,boars, and cows.)

Thanks to anyone even taking a look at this and hope we do not have to do a marathon everywhere :beans: :thumbsup:

Those animals will also be remade as well

I don't think we should worry about vehicles in the Alpha.

They just need to see how all of their hard work has paid off, and if it works.

I support your idea. Maybe no as crazy as that, but SOME sort of transport would be bliss. I for one will not play until vehicles are implemented.

We need chopper bikes btw :)

[sausagekingofchicago 4711]

Golly, look who it is.

[CoolCain10 55]

Maybe just 1 little car?

[nickm 10]

They should worry about things bigger then a car / chopper.

URGRGRGRGRHRHHHHHHGHHGGHHGH!!!!!!! I know you're trolling but I STILL HAVE TO ANSWER!!!!!! GOD HELP MEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!! FFS...... Can't..... not ....... answer!!!!!!

The reason vehicles are being held back is to give them a complete overhaul (customisation, damage ect). Having to develop another game mechanic such as riding pigs around instead would pretty much defeat the purpose of doing this.

When I first played DayZ seeing a vehicle was very rare, I hope it's like this in the SA too. I played for weeks before I saw one and I hope the SA makes them rare and special again.

Steak rides the goats all the time.

Oh, you meant , as in, like riding a bike. Sorry, please continue.

[Fraggle (DayZ) 15720]

Steak tries to ride anything that doesn't try to kill him.

Lol this made my day.

Be awesome if you could tie rabbits or hens to your feet and use them kind of like rollerblades.

[Hetstaine 10852]

Now were talking :D

Should we have some sort of transportation in Alpha or not guys? This was just a solution I came up with that would be most likely temporary. It should be tested at least for that is what the Alpha is for. Holding the W key down to get from one side of the map is just boring and the idea of a race between friends to get up north while on animals sounds just plain awesome. The roller Skate on Rabbits just seems cruel. Maybe if you pull a Radagast(The Guy in the Hobbit who uses Rabbits as dogs for a sled.) Seems like a more fun idea. Capturing rabbits and putting them in your backpack and harvesting materials to make a sled.

No, not if it's not ready. If you buy in to a game in development you just have to accept that some things won't be ready and you'll have to wait. Your idea would require more (pointless) work for the devs just to tide us over.

[Sleeping Tobi 11]

Let me ride a Tiger into battle I would ride it with a machete.

Yes, Lexus was good idea.

In mexican accent: 'Why don't we just port bicycles?'

[Sutinen 635]

They're not giving us the cars right now, because they have more important things to do at start. So, what you just suggested are vehicles in another form. Wont happen.
