kermo50 31 Posted January 10, 2014 Wolves, Bears and Wild Boars...I know the zombies in the game are going to be continually improved to pose a greater threat but they're just.. kind of boring. I would really love to see some of these predators included into game, they would be a good fit for the world of Chernarus. Walking through the woods on a full moon night and hearing some howls close by would be truly chilling. The animals would make the forests a much more dangerous and interesting place to adventure in... What do you guys think? 6 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Korsbaek 1778 Posted January 10, 2014 SEARCH FUNCTION! It's been suggested a billion times before! If you had spent just 2 seconds searching, you would know that wildlife is already confirmed. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kermo50 31 Posted January 10, 2014 I did use the search and nothing came up, yes I know wildlife is confirmed, although I have never heard of predatory animals that could be a threat. No need to be a dick about it. Please link me to these other posts. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RedPhantomX4 26 Posted January 10, 2014 I think that it is a Great idead to add animals that are agressive towards the survivor, as long as it is fairly big and alot of meat comes from it as a reward loot. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dubghall 36 Posted January 11, 2014 SEARCH FUNCTION! It's been suggested a billion times before! If you had spent just 2 seconds searching, you would know that wildlife is already confirmed.Hey... How many of your 2k posts are whining about search function? when there are no posts on a particular topic in a given forum... Your trolloing isnt just stupid... Its spam, pls stop.At the op, great idea! And well worth mentioning in suggestion forum so we can talk about the implementation of hopeful wildlife features.I think itd also be cool to have other threats in the woods, mosquito swarms that would fuck w you, or bird flocks that could get startled giving away your position... Etc 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TheWeedMan 132 Posted January 11, 2014 One of my suggestions are Snakes, Leaches and Ticks all of which appear if you camp a spot in grass or water for too long. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lDeel 26 Posted January 12, 2014 Especially the "three headed Chernobyl bear" should be added fort extra atmospheric feel to it. ...Just kidding. Great idea, would be cool to have some kind of danger (animal predators) waiting for you in the forest. :thumbsup: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Duenan 226 Posted February 20, 2014 I know that the devs are in the process of adding wildlife but I had some suggestions. Add in predators Wolves, Bears, wild dogs that can and will attack you. Especially wild dogs. In a post apocalyptic scenario, dogs would be eating their owners and over time would wander in packs. This already happens in certain places in the world. In mexico and in areas of eastern europe and south america wild dogs packs of previously domesticated animals are a very real problem. They can and do attack and maul people at random and I would expect them in a situation like Dayz. They would be an additional threat but also a food source and possible companion if you find a dog like in the mod. Yes I know this is alpha. Yes there are tons of core things that must be done like zombie ai and not glitching through walls. But this is just another idea for the devs to think about long term. It would be hard to add in alot of other animal ai that are friendly and agressive with balancing the server load especially if you think about a wild dog pack. Heck they're having issues with zombie packs but still it's just something to think about 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dannynickelov 126 Posted February 20, 2014 They will add predators, and companion animals. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Geckofrog7 1168 Posted February 20, 2014 Hmm...I wouldn't really see wolves and wild dogs as attacking people unless they were provoked or really desperate for food.Bears on the other hand...are a frightening thought. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Part of me can't shake the idea of a skyrim bear chargin at you and all you have is an axe The idea of wild dogs came from assuming that dogs and wolves would be eating the remains of dead/infected people in the dayz world. Couple that with the face most humans are dead and animals would no longer see humans as much of a threat and possibly a free meal ticket Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
enforcer1975 1111 Posted February 20, 2014 (edited) Hmm...I wouldn't really see wolves and wild dogs as attacking people unless they were provoked or really desperate for food.Bears on the other hand...are a frightening thought. Why should you be afraid if you are wielding 2 rifles, 1 pistol, a hatchet, crowbar, knife, a can opener and carry 10 ammo boxes in your backpack? You can shoot him unconcious then tie him up with a belt and force feed him with bambies... :rolleyes: Edited February 20, 2014 by Enforcer Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Max Planck 7174 Posted February 20, 2014 (edited) Hmm...I wouldn't really see wolves and wild dogs as attacking people unless they were provoked or really desperate for food. Wolves generally don't attack people, but wild (and tame!) dogs will maul you at the drop of a hat. Any hat. Wild/feral dogs are no joke, they know exactly how capable they are, how capable you are, and they work together as a group.

Duenan 226 Posted February 20, 2014 I hope you guys can add them in. secondary and tertiary threats would add more ways to die I heard there was some issue with dog ownership regarding using an animal but even if that was scrapped a blind enemy ai for dog packs would be great Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Otis.Driftwood 204 Posted February 20, 2014 Guys what you think about honey as food source? And also a chance for bees to attack you and to get allergic reaction (if affects only random players) and you have to treat yourself with some medicineOpinions?

But we need bears and wolves I would love to see the beautiful animation of a dayz bear/ wolf especially f they had their own food chains / reactions to nature . Also what does having a can opener do against a bear haha you must be the most badass dude ever if you've fought a bear with a can opener hahah . Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ld-airgrafix 403 Posted February 21, 2014 Chuck norris could take on a bear with only a can opener.I would swear i thought i saw a fox in dayz run in front of me, i ran to see what it was but couldnt find anything Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Morggin 2 Posted March 10, 2014 (edited) In addition i would also like to suggest Mountain Lions. and since there are zombies what do you think about an occasional werewolf. Edited March 10, 2014 by Morggin 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Roshi (DayZ) 396 Posted March 10, 2014 (edited) Chuck norris could take on a bear with only a can opener.Under Chuck Norris' beard there is no chin - only another Mosin.On topic - yes definitely predators. Dogs in the towns, bears and wolves in the woods. Edited March 10, 2014 by Roshi Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bobotype3334 160 Posted March 10, 2014 In addition i would also like to suggest Mountain Lions. and since there are zombies what do you think about an occasional werewolf."DayZ attempts to portray a realistic scenario within the gameplay"And if you didn't mean that seriously then don't post it.

srgntpepper 85 Posted March 10, 2014 i think that's a great idea, the city and towns should be full of zombies, but the woods have no threat. A zombie survival should always have a threat. There should be constant concern over survival. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Thatshaneboy 5 Posted March 10, 2014 Well as far as I have leaned, wolves actually do not attack people very often. Though we like to think of them as dangerous killing machines, actually making man eating wolf packs might detract from the realism that DayZ is trying to portray. I do like the wild dog idea though.

KT_Cobra 22 Posted March 10, 2014 I don't know how hard it would be to implement, but I'll just say this: "Mountain lions with their own special stalking/hunting system" You could see them stalk other animals for food, but most importantly... survivors.
