atmaca (DayZ) 48 Posted January 1, 2014 I was thinking when I find a dead body I usually wonder how did he get here or what did he gone through. The idea is: players may carry a journal and player character automaticly writes significant things simply as he progress. It looks like this: Day 1:I'm in the woods.I see a small settlement.I found a plastic bottle.I saw a pond, used it fill my plastic bottle.I'm starving.I found a small backpack. Day 2:I saw a military compound.My sickness is getting worse, I just vomited.I'm really thirsty.I found a firefighter axe. Day 3:A zombie attacked me and bit my arm.I found a disinfectant spray.I have a funny taste in my mouth. Player may right click to journal to select "Update journal". Then character then writes down everthing happened from last update time to 20 minutes before of the current time. (just to make sure this function can't be abused in some situations) I know it's too complex and probably never gonna happen but I just thought it might be really cool :D So what do you guys think?

serenityrick 218 Posted January 1, 2014 I think this is more or less being implemented with the whole pen and paper system. Though I think you have to write in it yourself. It would more or less only be used by RPers. That would be awesome though to find on an RPer.. you find his body and read about his adventures and how he came to die in that exact spot. I'd collect them! If people started using this, I bet we'd have a website up in no time dedicated to the journals people found off dead players. I'm not a huge RPer or anything but I'd definitely partake in it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Karmaterror 982 Posted January 1, 2014 Well we have readable books, and the mod had a journal that did have some info on what had happened to you. Maybe combining the two somehow. I think both are clues that something like this will eventually happen ;) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Al Bobo 53 Posted January 1, 2014 I prefer diary option where you could write and maybe even draw pictures. If spray cans are implemented, I don't see how much harder it would be to make drawing an option :P Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
