DropBearChick 1216 Posted January 6, 2014 hello all, as you may have noticed the theme of the house lit up by a flare with 2 zombies by it is still our theme for theses forums and as dayz has come out I believe its time for a change to a picture from Dayz Retail, the screenshot forum thread in the gallery has some amazing pics which would look great as the theme, I understand that the mod still has a section on these forums but believe the retail version should be the king and so therefore the theme should be changed.

sonicrainbrony 136 Posted January 6, 2014 Why should it be changed? A pic from the Standalone could look exactly like that, once they implement flares. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DropBearChick 1216 Posted January 6, 2014 because standalone is BEAUTIFUL (especially during the day) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sonicrainbrony 136 Posted January 6, 2014 Well no, it really kinda isn't. That picture works just fine for the banner, and I don't think anyone should go through the hassle of changing it. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

sonicrainbrony 136 Posted January 6, 2014 Looks meh, animations are bleh, lighting is okay overall its not impressive looking.This. The lighting is actually impressive... if I hadn't just played Arma 3 before booting DayZ for the first time. The texture work is good, and so are the character models. But everything else is pretty bleh. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TIC 1050 Posted January 6, 2014 Like everyone's honesty and it's appreciated on the forums. To implement some type of extra theme would be good to switch between the mod and retail since they do both share the same forums after-all. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I vote we keep the current banner. Edited January 6, 2014 by Nereus77 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Someone points out that the Standalone is not beautiful, and that the forum banner should not be updated at least at this time, never saying anything about the graphics staying like they are forever.2. ALPHA LOOK IM SMART OMG STUPED ALPHER ITS ALPHA SEE, NOT FINISHED, ASDASFASFASDASFASDASFASDASDASF. Nothing personal. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Element47 2480 Posted January 6, 2014 +1 for keeping the old banner, because it feels at home. as long as the game is not recreated completely with different art, it works well and is identifiable. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mos1ey 6301 Posted January 6, 2014 I think we should change the theme once we get to the final 1.0 DayZ retail release, to celebrate. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
