DropBearChick 1217 Posted October 30, 2013 I know there are a forums for these ideas already but this is a list of all features I'd like:1. The old favourite animated heli crashes2. If player has a radio on them tuned Into the military channel they can hear the pilot transmitting a distress call with a vague area of the heli crash3. Crew spawn lying on ground but stand up and become zombies have weapons reflecting there backgrounds4. Dynamic loot spawning5. Salvaging. Salvage some parts off the crashes but most are broken6. More helis that crash( types )These are some more ideas for helis that I had that involve AI1. Heli patrols2. Use radio to call in a evac to airfield chance of being denied fast rope to get on so they don't have to landAdd infection that you can give to other players if too close for extended periods of timeThese are my ideas hope you like Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Statik (DayZ) 2695 Posted October 30, 2013 Neat idea, except I don't like the AI part, they have no part in DayZ.And since when do people fast rope onto a heli 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
on3c3nt 185 Posted October 30, 2013 And since when do people fast rope onto a heli i wish i could do that :D I like the idea of "mayday" message by the pilots over the radio 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Zero3ffect 60 Posted October 30, 2013 Somewhat worthless of a suggestion since there won't be any helicopter crashes or any dynamic events for that matter in SA. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

King of kong 1117 Posted October 30, 2013 (edited) The "Distress Message" is BS to me. They'd be speaking in Chernarussian, Subtitles? And no Evac choppers, that totally breaks immersion. Heli crews aren't going to go out of their way to save one person. The crews would likely die on impact or be paralysed. The only loot you're gonna get is Makarov, AKM, AK-74, AK-74U or SVD.

Zero3ffect 60 Posted October 30, 2013 Says who?It's an alpha. It can go batshit crazy with content if they feel like it. Says Rocket. I honestly don't feel like looking for the quote but I'm sure someone will back up what I said. At some point, Rocket basically said he had no plans of adding dynamic content such as helicopter crashes because he feels it takes away from the player driven stories or something like that.

TIC 1050 Posted October 30, 2013 (edited) Here's a couple things I'd like to see as a helicopter to suddenly crash into a certain area.. Appearance: http://www.military-today.com/helicopters/kamov_ka27_helix_l4.jpg Possibility of the helicopter having a radio that comes through the speaker in a Russian language stating "We're coming to rescue, follow us" then suddenly something happens inside and spins out of control.Once the helicopter crashes, the condition of items in it or around it would be in moderate-critical damage.Zombies around the area will be attracted to the crash then start consuming bodies that could appear around it.

That I could understand. I still can't figure out where the quote came from but I'm guessing it was during E3 as you can see from http://www.dayztv.com/standalone/dayz-standalone-e3-gameplay-reveal/ one of the things listed is There will be no “Random events” (Downed helicopters, Abandoned campsites) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

DropBearChick 1217 Posted October 31, 2013 well firstly though i dont mind either way AI have a place in dayz because on most servers i play on with AI they take away from pvp and instead players focus on pvAI secondly if the czech government was evacuating chernarus why wouldnt they evac you? thirdly why not american chopper pilots flying around or pilots knowing english although they probably wouldnt do a mayday in english.
