CommanderX (DayZ) 52 Posted August 5, 2013 (edited) I think bus stations should have those little "you are here!" maps so that there can be more ways to navigate if you don't have a map or compass and maybe you could find like a small map you can find at bus stops that show you which routes the bus service used before the zombie outbreak PLEASE NOTE : Acording to Welch this is on reddit as well so I give credit to them I have improved the idea a bit Edited August 5, 2013 by CommanderX 25 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
-Se7eN- 874 Posted August 5, 2013 Pretty cool idea, could be easly done to, like if you stand in a particular radius of the map it puts a map in your invent, and when you open it there is a custom marker showing your your current location, once you move away from the map it is removed from your inventory. :beans: 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

IkaikaKekai 1957 Posted August 5, 2013 Would love to see more different types of maps. Bus route maps are fairly simple ones, but better than nothing. Find road maps at gas stations or in towns, which would show the roads and a few 'tourist' sites. And the 'best' maps would be Military maps, like the ones we have in the mod right now. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CommanderX (DayZ) 52 Posted August 5, 2013 anyone going to make anymore comments on like any ideas that could be added to this? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
-Se7eN- 874 Posted August 5, 2013 I have been brainstorming about how this could work in the mod. but thats pretty much all i got. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CommanderX (DayZ) 52 Posted August 5, 2013 NEW IDEA! : Phones! you could say find a iPhone (or a Dphone if they cant get some phones to copyright) and you can find sim cards in shops houses gas stations than you can ring players if they give you their in game number for more private stuff and you can text them and say I was waiting for a friend to get to the fire station I could go up the tower sit down and play angry birds or plants vs zombies or maybe some other app give me feed back please Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CommanderX (DayZ) 52 Posted August 5, 2013 anyone like the phone idea or have any ideas for the phone/bus map Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
IkaikaKekai 1957 Posted August 5, 2013 Don't really think smart phones are a good idea for Day, mostly because of the setting, and the fact pretty much all electronic infrastructure is in operable. No cell phone towers, no cell phones. Chenarus doesn't really strike me as the type of country to have a lot of smart phones in it, even if it had 'non smart' cell phones there's still no electricity to charge them with (and its not like you can just plug in a couple of D cells to a Smartphone or a Nokia) or to power the cell towers (if there were any). A satellite phone might still be working after an zombie apocalypse, but you still have the problem of charging the phone, while I know shit about satellite phones I kinda doubt that Apple and Google make a model.

LancerG2 369 Posted August 5, 2013 I think bus stations should have those little "you are here!" maps so that there can be more ways to navigate if you don't have a map or compass and maybe you could find like a small map you can find at bus stops that show you which routes the bus service used before the zombie outbreak Would be great if they added a national park too with these "YOU ARE HERE SIGNS". Then add waterfalls and all that over beautiful nature shit. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Welch (DayZ) 756 Posted August 5, 2013 (edited) This guy's just a phony. He says he doesn't read the DayZ subreddit, but his suggestion was word for word with one of the top comments to a thread on Reddit. I don't know why y'all are still giving him pats on the back for shit that he didn't think up. And yes, the reddit comment was made first. Yeah. You're full of shit.
