Diggydug (DayZ) 331 Posted December 21, 2013 The helmets I don't mind, I don't see many people wearing them myself, but I'm also always away from the coast. Not a fan of the masks, to be honest. I'd love masks, but Payday 2 masks just throws me off. I just look forward to more masks being added that are more practical and not game-related. I assume they will become more popular than the Payday masks and no one will wear those "lame" masks. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ToBbErT 17 Posted December 21, 2013 I also really liked payday 2. And imo it makes it even more akward for me becouse i played that game. Totally breaks the immersion. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
svenbreakfast 231 Posted December 21, 2013 Anyone I see in a payday mask I'm going to assume is a bandit. I'm not sure why, maybe it's because I kinda feel like only a kid would be wearing that shit. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SneezeJunky 12 Posted December 21, 2013 the helmets and the stupid payday masks should be removed from the game? Reminds me of WarZ. Too many ugly masks.. :D 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
hogscraper 328 Posted December 21, 2013 My two issues with the masks are I have lived short lives on the coast and found more payday masks than I found food items. That's just stupid balancing that needs tweaked a bit. That and I would have liked to see much more variety of things that matter in the game before they wasted time on something like that. Its obvious that someone on the dev team has some talent modelling or at least skinning and it would be a lot cooler even to just find more than black and tan gloves everywhere before these masks. Chernarus seems like a place that would love a Walmart so where are the hot pink stretch pants in size 5XL? They definitely needed more variety in the types of people are trying to find. There's a ton in there already so now that they've got the silly shit out of the way we might find some cool clothing skins later on. I would much prefer if they decide to keep the number of masks the same that they add more skins in after full release when everything else is finished and not every one of them needs to be over the top clown stupid looking.

YZ250 248 Posted December 21, 2013 I said this when they first showed us Helmets, ever tried running in a Motor Bike helmet ? Your head weighs a terrible lot you would also get very hot very quick 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

beardedcap 22 Posted December 21, 2013 The only stupid thing about the masks or helmets is this thread. I agree, although the helmets(motorcycle) are way too common. Even with the reduced spawn rate. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Bocui 13 Posted December 21, 2013 Helmets are functional. You do not have to wear masks if you dont want to, unless you are being forced to by 3 armed bandits threatening to pour disinfectant down your throat Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
LigerNoir 4 Posted December 21, 2013 I think the masks should just be more difficult to find. Do that and all's well. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I don't wear them, they come off as silly to me and I feel more menacing in a gas mask, but I can't help but see 1/4 survivors running around in one. If they were just extremely rare I wouldn't mind that either and they really don't bother me a whole lot, but I can understand where people are coming from who want them removed.

420jeppe 28 Posted December 21, 2013 Reminds me of WarZ. Too many ugly masks.. :D Exactly. They really ruin the athmosphere for me. It's like a corny bouncy castle on the lawn of a palladian villa. It also breaks the forth wall. :( 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
WOLFGEIST 122 Posted December 22, 2013 I love the gas masks and ballistic helmet, hate all the rest. Motorcycle helmet is tolerable buti hate the masks. I wouldn't mind masks of a different aesthetic but the clowny ones look goofy and detract from the overall aesthetic of the game. Same with the purple/blue backpacks. Generally I prefera rustic and subdued aesthetics. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
raynor009 204 Posted December 22, 2013 I don't like the PayDay games but I like the masks and so do my friends. As everyone else says, if you don't like them don't wear them lol. I for one don't want them removed. And they won't be removed just because a handful of people don't like them >.> Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
burneddi 13 Posted December 22, 2013 I said this when they first showed us Helmets, ever tried running in a Motor Bike helmet ? Your head weighs a terrible lot you would also get very hot very quickIndeed. Also, the helmets aren't particularly well secured for running, so all the shaking and tumbling will make it move around on your head which is highly uncomfortable. They should be changed so that wearing one will protect your head, but also restrict your view slightly -- I don't mean an overly exaggerated half-your-screen-is-black thing like games usually have when they choose to do this with masks, but like, the lower left and right corners of your screen would be obstructed by the jawguard of the helmet. More importantly, they should give you forced head bobbing that you can't turn off and that also affects 3rd person. Obstructing your hearing would also be a plus, but that's probably difficult to implement properly (although could make for an extremely immersive experience with headphones). This would make wearing one more realistic, as they really aren't in any way comfortable to use in a non-sitting position. Finally, as a final touch after crafting is implemented, it mite b cool to be able to tune them up by eg. removing the jawguard, attaching rope/zipties/something to use as better chin straps to remove the head bobbing etc. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

We're arguing that the existance of the masks take away from our subjective view of the aesthetic integrety of the game. And that's a shame. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
