SA Easter eggs?

[MasterShak3 154]

If there where some Easter eggs that would appear in Dayz Stand Alone, what would be some you guys would like to see?... From a Big Foot that can be sighted hiking near Green Mountain around dusk. Or the Loch Ness Monster floating about Black Lake from time to time. To a zombie that suspiciously resembles Rocket.

What are some of your ideas?  :)

Ahem, of course there will be a German dinosaur ridden by me in the game....

With a mounted turret, I'm guessing?  

[Korsbaek 1778]

I really wouldn't like Easter eggs like that. I'm all in for the subtle hints though.

Crashed space probe.

Either something from the game Kerbal that rockets always on about, or suggesting the virus didn't evolve but was alien.

i would like to see a ghost (insert cry baby sook arse i dont want para normal stuff here) that wonders a town when a player is by them self and the event would only be triggered by one player only

So any time one player walks into a town a ghost will stalk them? :lol:   LOL. There would be ghosts everywhere then. Funny idea though.

A zombie that is actually a citizen dressed as a zombie trying to fool the zombies.  When you shoot him he lets a scream and insults you.  If you don't kill him in one shot of course.  

 

Healing him after hurting him earns you 1500 humanity points!  Killing him after shooting him the first time loses 1500 humanity points.  Unless you snipe or one shot him.  Because from range you might not have a way of knowing.

I don't like the idea of Easter Eggs. The MOST I would go for, would be something like a zombie that has the survivor skin, or just something discrete that hints to the mod/early days/creation of the game. Nothing like bigfoot, rocket, or slenderman.

OK, heres my idea.

 

You get a Kamenka spawn, you must head 257m south west EXACTLY. One meter over and you will have to kill yourself and get another Kamenka spawn.

After heading 257m south west, turn left, turn right and then look directly into the sky for 8 minutes and 23 seconds. As soon as that is done you need to Zelenogorsk. 

Once that is complete, head to the supermarket and pick up a single can of beans.

Head into the back room.

You MUST have the following items in your inventory:

at least 3 cans of sardines

at least 2 Stanag magazines

and exactly 1 junk loot (can be anything, as long as its useless.)

Open the door 17 times and then head outside and crab walk back to Kamenka.

Once all that is complete a pixelated picture of Fraggle will appear on the screen before disappearing.

I know what I'll be doing when the SA comes out.

This actually happened to me in the Dayz MOD... Turns out it was a player hacking.

Yes. Yes. Very much like COD's Nazi zombies. With there hidden Easter eggs where you have to do ridiculous shit.

In the light of the whole "easter egg"  title in this thread i thought 1 would assume its an "easter egg" idea i have explained therfore making it something ...super rare.. ;)

[green_machine 179]

A broken shotgun. 0.5% chance of spawn in a weapon loot pile. (Resi 1)

If there's a mall, perhaps a dead body in a wheel barrow with his leg bandaged. (Dawn of the Dead)
Maybe some Dawn of the Dead clothing.
 

I don't think it's productive in any way for us to think of idea's tbh. It would just be fantasy musings.
It's meaningful to the people who produce the games or if the developers owe other people thanks for inspiration that helped developers get to where they are today or help DayZ exist to begin with.

So yeah, any idea that we think of would never make it into the game or be relevant in the broader sense or purpose for an Easter egg. (Unless Rocket just wants to prove me wrong for the hell of it and add one of these idea's :|  ) 

 

BUT...

DayZ started as a MOD right? We not pay homage to one of the most successful mods ever? Or the single mod that opened peoples eyes to the credibility of modding. The one mod that put its foot in the door.

If you do a 360 noscope mountain dews flash around your screen and Dubstep plays loudly while the sound of a little kid raging is played in everybody ears.

Then its all like MLG #SWAG GOML nub ur mom thnks ur a failure!!!!!11!!!!

Hello there

 

I think very subtle references to Amazing things that have affected the mod along the way are fine as long as they dont kill the immersion.

 

Just for a bit of horseplay.

What? I don't get it.

They shouldn't add direct "easter eggs", like the funny ones you'd find in games like GTA SA, GTA IV, etc etc., but ones that follow the theme of DayZ.

 

Stuff like that Green Mountain radio transmission (now debunked), and occasional random, terrifying noises at places like Green Mountain or just in a forest at night. There's so many possibilities for easter eggs without ruining the feel of DayZ. Ignore the funny stuff, give us things that make us wonder, check behind our backs, and make us run like our life depends on it. Fear of the unknown is the scariest and creepiest kind of fear. Looking down a corridor in a hospital, the end pitch black, hiding what lurks in it, if anything lurks in it at all. All sorts of things could be back there; your mind gets the better of you. That's fear of the unknown. 

 

There actually were some good ones in GTA SA. Like the bloody and rusty wheel chair on a dock at a lake, and 5 or so body bags in a pit with a pick-up truck next to it. Things like that would fit well IMO. 

 

Oh idea, what about a set of locked doors in a dark hospital or building with occasional LOUD banging behind it, from trapped zombies? 

 

Anyway, I seriously doubt Rocket or any of the devs will read this, but I still find it an interesting topic to discuss. :/

GTA easter eggs? Like if you drive over a bridge in an ATV this happens?

I'd like it if there was one deer in the Standalone, it'd be called "Bambi" referencing to a fresh spawn but instead, it'd be a fresh fawn ;)
