Remove Payday Masks from Game

[dashx73 (DayZ) 168]

When I first noticed that the pay day masks in the game, I became disappointed and felt that it takes away from the dayz "aesthetic".

 

 

 

I questioned why are these "Pay Day" masks even the in the game?

 

Okay masks would be cool, but do we seriously need to just copy and paste them from another game?

 

 

I remember rocket talking at an interview saying the direction he was going to take was closer towards "

The Road (2009) - the movie, or the Book of ELI, or even Mad Max and the Thunder dome.

 

 

"I would have preferred long beards instead of these payday masks"

 

Image if we got some of the cool masks from "mad max"

 

 

 

I remember playing the Pay Day 2 Game on xbox 360 and my least favorite part about the game was that it was sort of "revolving around the idea of these masks, and I felt that it seriously took away from the "main concept of what the game was suppose to be about" robbing banks, not "mask collector" I felt those same masks ruined their game, so please just remove them so that it doesn't ruin yours.

 

"Pay day 2 wasn't about robbing banks it was about collecting masks"

 

Please note this is just my opinion but I suggest that you remove the masks from the game and create your own that are more "dayz themed" with those original thoughts in mind when you spoke about the clothing in all your interviews prior to the release of standalone.

 

 

I guess for now I can always wear a motorcycle helmet, as for now there doesn't seem to be much original content, and I would be willing to bet that the the Pay day masks are the only thing not directly imported from the ARMA 2.5 civilian clothing database.

 

Here is another thread with a topic I agree with on the same subject.

now that the game has made over $30 million dollars? Sold over a million copies for $30 each... I hope they can hire some new talent to get the content we want to see.

Actually, you'd be surprised how fitting the PayDay masks are in a zombie outbreak setting.

I'm not a big fan of them either. I would be able to understand if they were made really rare, but as common as they are, they just don't fit with the general aesthetic of the game.

No. This isn't even up for discussion. They're staying.

Hello there

 

Im not a huge fan of them, but on the whole I ignore them or use them as a handy target.

 

As R is a fan/friend (or some relationship) of the devs of Payday I would not expect to see them go.

 

What may well happen is, as more items are added that the commonness of them appearing will decrease.

 

IMHO its an issue of the lowest priority.

I agree, I have an intense dislike for these clown masks, but alas, they are not going anywhere anytime soon.

It's very disappointing and quite a shame to see such simple decisions like this overlooked. I understand rocket might be in a serious relationship with one of the pay day developers, but we all don't really need to know about it.

[ZedsDeadBaby 2287]

What a silly thing to worry about.

[whothehellishe 81]

[komadose 190]

i keep wondering why there are so many crazy masks in eastern europe rural area. are they a thing in there? seems odd.

[dashx73 (DayZ) 168]

was just thinking this..

 

I understand that masks should be in the game, but how about something more realistic to environment. sure the payday masks look cool, because thats all you can currently see, but if i created a mask I could make it look alot better, why include the "payday ones?"

They are carnival masks popular among the children of Chernarus, most commonly worn during the end of harvest festivities. Not related to Payday at all.

 

 

Clothing isn't really my "pet issue" though, so the masks don't make me rage. I just wish they were less common... these things should be easter eggs, damn rare, not low-end staples.

I love the Payday masks! If I see a guy wearing one, I know he's an idiot and can just shoot him right away. It's a huge timesaver!

Right! I love how he says that part of Deans inspiration is Mad Max and Thunder then goes on to say masks don't fit with the vision. Ummm have you watched mad max or thunder dome and seen what they wore? I think the masks are way better than some of the outfits in the movie.

I think the masks could be even more suitable, instead of directly imported from another game.

specifically we are walking around in russia and find american flag masks every five feet.

Right its so weird that a game is not SUPER ULTRA realistic in its loot and locations :rolleyes: . I am surprised you are not complaining about tactical shirts having American flags on them.

I think right now they are a placeholder for future masks but will be kept because they are wicked cool way to identify bandits.

[darthbane67 92]

Aye that is pretty cool about the kids carnival mask is that your own way of RPing it or is it a legit thing someone has said?

[dashx73 (DayZ) 168]

I can accept them as a placeholder, or as a rare easter egg.. then again I guess I need the "alpha reminder" 

 

However I look at the DayZ mod that has been released for several years as the alpha, So i sometimes forget that "this is the alpha" and the years since then I wonder " so what have they actually been working on, because when I look at the actual files in the game most of them are exactly the same as the mod.

Of course, I was being sarcastic when I said they weren't related to Payday... that's what the in-game description says about them.
