loading cutscene

[pinapple900 8]

Maybe upon first boot of game, maybe a small animated cut scene explaining the current story?

[King of kong 1117]

The story is for players to discover, or they could create their own.

[applejaxc 2500]

There is no story, intentionally. The game is entirely what you want it to be--within reason, of course.

[pinapple900 8]

I know, but in the official mod website, the website kinda gives an idea about what the mod is about. Maybe just a vid explaining that?

Yes, it says something about a virus, that's it. People should be allowed to make their own conclusions

No.

 

Your story is literally WHATEVER THE FUCK YOU WANT IT TO BE.

 

The website gives you the idea it's about zombies in Chernarus. That's it.

No.

Thank you for empathizing my point, Apple

Thank you for empathizing my point, Apple

 

No offense, but you weren't going about it incredibly well. ^^

ya my story is that one poor man with a baseball cap is in hell and must kill zombies on islands all over the world,he is not alone and has other lost souls around that can help him,or kill him.

 

Death can not slow this man down because death will all ways bring him back,but this is more like never ending hell as he must relive his death over and over.

at will he can go to other planes of this realm with more guns and cars if he so wishes.

 

This man can not escape he can not win he can only abort and hide.

 

This man........is user

No offense, but I was doing exactly the same thing as you, all you did use swear words and turn on caps lock, atleast I was somewhat civil, not entirely polite, though

probably fight.

I read your story. Seems legit, "man baseball cap, fight evil with other man baseball cap, survive" seems legit, 1+ beans

Now, might I suggest we remain on-topic and put an end to the silly argument before the topic is derailed by our childish fighting?

Are we getting into arguments on what is the correct way to insult the OP?

 

[Lupatchi 143]

I could see how maybe, it says something about the zombie out break, but not mention how it was created and minor details like that, (thats for you to make up)

[Korsbaek 1778]

King of Kong is doing a lot of fighting today:http://dayzmod.com/forum/index.php?/topic/151469-sa-20-chance-that-gun-jams-when-firing-below-50-weapon-health/

[Ratsmon 131]

Another great way to slow up the already long process of joining the game, for people with slow PCs/LapTops

Bravo!

Maybe this will help you. If anyone would actually have wanted to help you it would have been an easy thing to find this, as it's very possible to do.

 

Maybe you should concentrate on helping out giving advice instead of getting into arguments noone is interested in. If you guys have a problem with something there's always the PM-system you can use.

Looks like King's Irish warpath has lead to the suggestions area...

I wouldn't mind this.....wouldn't have to explain anything just a little cutscene whilst loading. Could do it with a little bit of humour like in Dead Rising. All you see is some slow...panning or slow fly over shots of a few random towns. Then when the load is nearly done, you get sort of a slow chase of a survivor running away from some zombies in slo-mo down a Cherno road....text fades in "Welcome to Chernarus" ...camera does a fly into position behind your toon from 50/60 m away...as it does "Have a nice Day" Now your in and playing. Maybe make it feel a lil like a tourism vid....or jus like any other game cutscene showing off the map.

 

Could make the game feel more polished than just black screen....load....go. That cutscene described above could have a flyby recording of every town on the map, and just randomly uses as many as it needs till your done loading. Wouldn't add any backstory, just some eye candy during load. Show off some of those new towns they made :)

 

Just thought, might be nicer if the text was first "This is DayZ" then as you take control "Your Story..."

It'd only slow down the loading times.

[Karmaterror 982]

It'd only slow down the loading times.

 

True but il take an extra 10-20 secs loading and have some nice visuals, than just a black screen. :)
