Ken Bean 175 Posted June 13, 2013 Hey peeps, is there an insight to other players journals in planning?Lets say, if you find a surviver dead, will you be able to read what he did?If not, I'd suggest it. Might be interesting. Always loved to read other peoples diaries. >:DWhat do you think about? 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

veristaya 71 Posted June 13, 2013 (edited) Unless someone writes down what he does and feels (a.k.a. diary) I see no way how you would find a book at a dead body telling you about that persons life. Edited June 13, 2013 by IOnlyCampMyFireplace Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ken Bean 175 Posted June 13, 2013 (edited) According to the mockup here, it has some data. If you read it, you'll know if the player drunk a mountin dew, you'll know if he was a good guy or a bad guy. The number of player kills will tell you how bad he was, you'll know how long he lived, the name, maybe places he came along...Its a lot, makes things more personal. Maybe there even could be room for making notes. The second image strongly suggests it. Edited June 13, 2013 by Ken Bean Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GBTP 114 Posted June 13, 2013 (edited) I like that idea of being able to get more info off a corpse, but not having that be mandatory, it would need to be an item users could carry, but for people to want to carry it around there would need to be a benefit to having it. RPers out there might not like the idea of their character keeping a diary if that isn't how they visualize their character and not giving them the choice to have or not have it would be disappointing.Edit: That said if there was a 'Journal' item I would love to carry it around, even if it took an inventory spot I could absolutely see my character keeping a journal of his survival.What if you could take screen shots, or have map markers that could lead to whatever you wished if someone found your journal... hidden loot? Bandit trap...? *Write "Here is my loot tent" in Journal**Drop journal on ground**Wait for poor sucker that picks up the journal to come looking for the 'tent'**Loot corpse of poor na Edited June 13, 2013 by GBTP 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Could be used to pass messages.^^ Didn't think about it, but sounds really cool. Maybe a personal version of the map should be added and the possability to make personal map markers, which only can be seen by others, if they get hands on your journal.

1999ludo@live.it 4 Posted June 13, 2013 I want tablet integration. I want to draw drafts with my Wacom table Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ken Bean 175 Posted June 13, 2013 Hmm, this actually would make the game stand out. Not certain if a mod could achieve somehing like this. Not having a clue about the engine but you'd probably need to code it into the exe. It also has its demands on traffic / data. Given that only a few have such tables, it wouldn't be used by anyone anyway. It would be avery nice to have, but the benefit probably would not justify the cost.

GBTP 114 Posted June 13, 2013 To find their bases and steal their beans.Assuming they have a base. Until they add farming I don't need a base. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ken Bean 175 Posted June 13, 2013 (edited) Jep, this would be used as base finder #1. ^^So I'm not a fan of a detailed line tracker. Edited June 13, 2013 by Ken Bean Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

1999ludo@live.it 4 Posted June 13, 2013 Maybe only if THE player chooses to mark it... Its his fault Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ken Bean 175 Posted June 13, 2013 (edited) Then I'd agree. If he personally somehow marks the base, then, well, sh*t happens.Having a group management system which gives you an option to have a shared map with the group, would make things easier as well.So you could plan the next mischief without having everyone lurking.

BdogZ 17 Posted June 13, 2013 I find that really cool actually! You'd be able to tell a lot more about the person you killed or found. It wouldn't just be "another dead player", it would add some more individuality to each person, you have my beans :D 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
