Dogs

[dotdashdashdash 1]

I think adding dogs to the game would be awesome.

You give them food, they love you and follow you around.

Maybe they help you find loot or bark when zombies are around.

Or you could train them to be quiet if you are the stealthy type. 

 

It would take a bunch of coding and design, but I think it would add a lot of value to the game. 

 

If another player shot my dog, I would go to war. 

 

If my dog was bitten and became a zombie dog and I had to shoot him, I would cry.

(That is straight out of I Am Legend)

Welcome to the forums.

As they wanted to add dogs to the DayZ mod I can imagine they will add them to the standalone in the future. Especially when hunting makes it into the game dogs could get realy interesting to help you find animals and hunt them down. Also tracking players and the training of the could get realy interesting and maybe people would even care more about their own lifes when they dont just own loot but also a dog. ;) You can loot your own corpse, but if you die the dog should run away.

I'm pretty sure they are already confirmed along with a bunch of other animals.

I played on a server that was modded to hell for a little in the mod, It had " Working " Dogs. Possibly the coolest feature I had ever seen. I spent 4 hours running around with Lassie, And when she got killed, I spent 2 hours hunting the guy down, Finally got him. 

RIP Lassie </3

I remember they had Dogs in the Breaking Point Mod for the ArmA 2: DayZ, they said they were going to make dogs available as companions, and you saw a lot of them running around. You also had to watch out for Infected Hounds as they were more scarier than the actual zombies themselves. It made the game a lot more fun when it came to confronting Zombies. The problem though was that when the SA came out, Breaking Point scrapped all progress of what they were going to make on the Mod and Dogs are just now a part of the scenary.

 

I agree it would be a cool idea, as I really hoped they would have continued with it in Breaking Point.

I would want to see them be able to chase wildlife once it has been spooked.

Bite their neck and crap, maybe you could get dog specific loot like a boar hunting collar.

But, I think what we will need is an a command system right from Arma 2 but with whistling.

He should log out with the character that owns his loyalty.

It would be cool to have the ArmA 2 Command System with a Dog. And perhaps it could help you spot people from a distance like in ArmA 2 where it would notify you with the text that comes up in the left hand screen. "10 o'clock, Unknown, Far" but with a single bark. Then you could order the dog to attack the person like you could order a squad to attack enemies.

 

It'd be a very interesting Concept.
