Auto-run button.

[Hetstaine 10852]

 Wouldn't bother me..we can auto run with an object on the arrow key anyway so...? I do feel more focused if i don't autorun and hardly ever do it because i find it annoying but i can't see how it would change anything.

[OfficerRaymond 2064]

You have no argument, why should I care what you think?

You don't care when people DO come up with a reasonable argument. So why should he waste his time on you?

 

Yet another case where Ozelot makes a topic and argues with everything put on the table in a high and mighty douchebag manner. What a shocker.

 

PS, already been suggested before, so this topic in itself is pointless. Good game.

[methr1k2dop3 323]

Not trying to sound rude, but why do you want the game easier? Isn't that the fun part of the game? :/

I dont understand why you think this makes it easier? 

Having to take a 15 min walks would get pretty stale.

a auto run feature really wouldn't change anything... 

you are mistaken. 

This is a convenient feature not making the game more easier 

[Frytek 130]

Ozelot, people like you are impractical. Youd probably be dead in nazi germany (Wolfensteinsaurus, where are you when I need you >:( ). You dont let anybody to speak their arguments showing your lack of mental abilities. You should be making posts in graveyard as there is no way to discuss with you. Sorry to say but...

I dont really like gay cats...

EDIT for the guy below me.

That was utterly stupid and hypocritical commentary my friend.(I tak nie poruchasz :) )

Well, it gives people an opportunity to go afk and still progress in the game. It also does technically speaking make the game easier by taking some of the effort that is required to play, out of the game.

 

To be honest, it's just an unnecessary feature that probably won't be added. I don't think rocket or the dev team is ever going to focus on making the game more 'convenient' for people that don't wanna hold a button for awhile.

Its already in the game. Its called: Something heavy and your W key.

you can make macros and use a heavy object to do it anyway.

how big the map is sitting there holding a button for 20 mins i think is impractical.

if you truly think that it takes from the immersion then dont use it?

personally i would use it to alt tab out and change a song or to go take a piss.

like really... just throw it in.

Going AFK in this game while in a full-blown run is an enormous risk. You could get shot, eaten by zombies, or you might even run into an obstacle and break your legs.

 

All this actually does is remove an enormous monotony from the game. It does not make it any 'easier' at all. Removing pointless monotony from a game is usually considered a good development move, unless you are the type who really enjoys facebook games or something.

Point out where I once mention immersion? I don't, because I didn't. This has nothing to do with immersion. Plus, if macros and heavy objects can be used instead... why add it in? lul. 

 

Honestly, what part of this game is practical? If you need something to be practical in DayZ I think you're better off playing a different game IMHO. The whole point of the game is to be unforgiving and inconvenient. Sitting there holding a single button for an hour and a half, getting a sore finger, is part of that inconvenience. 

[Conkykillz 791]

I use my little brother as my run key problem solved, he just sits there holding it down till i tell him to stop

if added what would be the downfall?

He would have to admit he was wrong.

[King of kong 1117]

No. It's simply impratical.

 

It's an awesome suggestion actually. No one feels like doing what you just said.

Rule 1 of the the forums. Never call your own idea awesome.

Edit: what mighty ability lets you know what everyone else feels like doing. Back in your box, kitten, you have yet to learn that the vast majority think you a troll.

this being a video game where every thing is done with a touch of a button.

i dont understand why a auto run button seems the least bit out of this world to some people.

 

I think its just this is just that whole "don't make the game easier" attitude people have. Where anything that suggests convenience is automatically shutdown because they think there is some "badass" image they can obtain.

[Ozelot (DayZ) 394]

I can act immature while not being underaged. Keep it in mind.

 

This is usually a good way to get banned. Please continue. Ad hominems are my favorite fallacy.

[methr1k2dop3 323]

I see we have a butthole licking lover, eh methr?

Also think more Ozelot. If there was no monotony in game then there would be also no excitement (I dont know why I type it, still going to be pissed on). If you find a game monotonic, dont play it. It is how it will be. No auto shit. How would it get it less monotonic anyways? You still have to run for the same amount of time. Unless you want to add also time travels...

you can auto run anyway.

lol...

don't madder to me i have one of them fancy keyboards.

You coming to this assumption is quite funny. Thinking that i'm (or others are) trying to prove how tough they are by saying these things.

I disagree with the idea for reasons I have already explained. If you wish to disagree with my disagreement, fine. But don't go down the same high and mighty sarcastic prick road that Ozelot uses... it's honestly annoying.

this is such a simple but huge possible improvement. and theres no reason not to add this. if someone dusnt like it they obviouly wouldnt need to use it. love it

[enforcer1975 1111]

If anything we need an stop button and have players always move to keep players from camping in the same bush. If they want to camp they have to hold that button.

Did this ages ago, we need an auto walk! Its transforming the game to sort of an RPG. Any good rpg has an auto walk key. If you didn't want to use it we aren't going to put a gun to your head and say "use auto walk now or im sending you back to the coast life!".

 

Has anyone ever heard of RSI (repetitive strain injury), im on the game to enjoy myself....not possably damage myself trough excessively holding down W for what is sometimes an age. And like I say if you wanna, you can. Me....il hope for auto, if not il be using steam overlay method ;)

[doublebrain 255]

I'm not sure what kind of DayZ you play, but in my DayZ I dont just click W and sit back because I allways look around for other players or anything. Prove me wrong, but I bet you are one of these guys that play either some Epoch/Origins -whatever Mod or you play on one of this "self BB" "auto-refuel" "repair-stations" "1000 choppers" "∞ vehicles" -Servers, because I cant imagine anyone would just click this automove button and sit back to run into the next bandit, when they have to fear about their character (what happens mostly only in normal DayZ). Because when you dont even have to pull down this button you totaly lose focus on your game/character.

I only play vanilla, I do my very best to stay alive at all times and I wouldn't mind if there was an auto-run button.

How does that fit into your arrogant little theory?

I don't get this at all. Why would using an optional auto-run button automatically make you lean back and stop observing your environment? You can lean back and be inattentive while holding down one button, just as you can carefully watch your surroundings and be on your guard while using an auto-run mechanic.

 

Therefore I would like to have this option as well (and I only play Vanilla DayZ). I don't think its absence adds anything to immersion or difficulty, it only makes things more tedious (in regards to controls, not gameplay mind you), which is never a good thing in my opinion. Auto-run button ≠ Fast Travel mechanic.
