SNAKE_DELTA 1 Posted January 26, 2014 Hi Dayz Development, just wanted to ask if you can increase the body disappearing time 10 mins is way to short why not make the body stay in-deafeningly as it was, a couple of points , spoils the combat situations when someone is killed and either there trying to get back there kit or teammates watching to see if someone steals the kit. also if your trying to make a real life style survival simulator bodies don't disappear, Most important its spoiling the survival moments when a random player comes across the bodies they should be able to loot the bodies and not have them magically disappearing. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
=fox= damocles 54 Posted January 26, 2014 I agree, Player corpses should be persistent until either "buried" by another player, which should leave a wooden cross with an epitaph to read, and/or when the server restarts. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
creature 1189 Posted January 26, 2014 In a "real life style simulator" you wouldn't get another life. If you die, you shouldn't be able to run back and loot your own body. Don't die. :thumbsup: 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TomJeff 12 Posted January 26, 2014 I think devs have stated the only reason that zombie bodies disapear, and why player bodies disapear so soon, is performance issues. If performance issues can be fixed, i'm sure they will be pretty much permanent or as close to it as reasonable. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SNAKE_DELTA 1 Posted January 26, 2014 as the scavenging for supplies are a massive part of the game players should be able to loot bodies for more then ten mins , after killing bandits or hero's , the bodies should stay until at least the server is restarted Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

stielhandgranate 480 Posted January 26, 2014 This disappearing bodies thing is bullshit. Some one of the eerie experiences with my group is finding three bodies clustered together that presumably gunned each other down in one of the big rusted warehouses and seeing blood rain from one of them from the catwalk.

=fox= damocles 54 Posted January 26, 2014 (edited) In a "real life style simulator" you wouldn't get another life. If you die, you shouldn't be able to run back and loot your own body. Don't die. :thumbsup: So then by that logic you're saying that for a person to loot or bury another players body, in a survival simulator, then the player who died shouldn't be able to start a new game on that server? thats a cool idea fox , to leave a wooden cross when a player decides to bury a body :) Yeah, and have it give you positive effect points for sanity or humanity and then for a smaller humanity/sanity boost, have an animation that can only be activated at said cross so you can pay your respects. Seeing as the idea of the game is to see how people would react in this situation it would be neat to have little things like that in the "sanity" mechanic Rocket mentioned.

TEST_SUBJECT_83 465 Posted February 5, 2014 I agree, ever since they added the 10 min body limit, its been broken and bodies have been disappearing anywhere from 10 sec to a minute or two.Even if it was working properly, it's not even close to enough time to loot a body when in a extended firefight, which Dayz has a lot of.I mean, seriously! didn't the devs think of that?We are being robbed of our reward for sticking it out and winning the fight!This is my number 1 concern at the moment.

We need til server restart for the bodies , it's so unrealistic for them to disappear :( but I get why they do but when all the server issues are figured out I would really like it if the devs could revert back to bodies disappearing after the servers next restart Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
blackberrygoo 1416 Posted February 5, 2014 I really like the idea of having to bury bodies people have been mentioning above though . so if you kill someone and are a bandit you'd have to spend the time to bury it if you didn't want others to know someone is dangerous in their Midts . Or if you were a hero / neutral you'd bury the bodies out of respect haha Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
skyline-gtr 130 Posted February 5, 2014 (edited) My suggestion if you want a persistent body would be that it can stay as long as the dead person does not respawn. e.g. respawning, immediatley makes the corpse disapear.

Capo 323 Posted February 5, 2014 Ok, I Agree with OP. But you shouldn't be able to see your own body if you run back to it. Fuck that. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Capo 323 Posted February 5, 2014 Firefights sometimes take more than 30 minutes to finish up, and then you wanna take your time approaching in case someone is camping the body. So GTR that's a terrible idea. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

So GTR that's a terrible idea. Well, it was simply a solution to prevent people looting their own bodies.As people have suggested in this thread already, bodies are supposed to disappear after 10 mins, while in actual it is sometimes a lot quicker.

gregor (DayZ) 95 Posted February 5, 2014 (edited) I guess that would be reasonable, if time to disappearing of body would be longer indoors. Thats mean, you (or more buddies) take your killed teammate's body on shoulder and carry or drag him into some indoor place. More tactical variety in game would be appreciated. Now what about overall, then we have to wait and look how will affect the game addition of cars , logging out timers and other similar things.
