YeBittenDog 106 Posted January 27, 2014 Okay. This is a complete discussion thread because I'm not sure how I feel about skateboards being part of the game myself. Some friends and I were talking about skateboarding while playing DayZ and the subject just sort of came up. How would they work in game? Would they only be allowed on paved roads? Would they be an item hanging from your backpack? Could they also be used as a weapon? The point is... they could be a cheap (albeit rare) form of transportation down main roads and the like. It's something neat to think about but the last thing we need is for the standalone to become an mmo skatepark. lol. I am interested to hear some other opinions.

blacklabel79 949 Posted January 27, 2014 (edited) Iam ready for a "are longboards more feasable in cherno than real skateboards" also "shouldent you be able to drop off the roof of a trainstation ?" and "should i be able to ollie a Z ?" The thing is...skateboards are not even good as firewood. ( too much glue ) The wheels/trucks /bearings might be of some use... There are some nice downhills in cherno too. :D Edited January 27, 2014 by {Core}BlackLabel Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
byrgesen 1341 Posted January 27, 2014 Interesting.I am having difficulties seeing how to implement it though, as IRL i cant skate to save my life lol.I would break my leg instantly no doubt :)So how would you go about "the skills needed" ingame? I mean, far from everybody knows how to skate and even less people can skate fast on a board :)Compared to riding a bike, skateboards are far more difficult tbh.Just my 2 cents.

TedZ 424 Posted January 27, 2014 (edited) This will really defeat the purpose of DayZIt's not a fun cool Skateboarding game, it's surviving in the wild I'm redirecting you to your fantasy worldhttp://www.ea.com/uk/skate-3 P.S Skate 3 is a good game :) Played it before, i think you can get it on PC Edited January 27, 2014 by TedZ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Trigger Hippy 176 Posted January 27, 2014 Balls to skateboards and rollerblades. THIS is the ONLY way to travel in DayZ. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TomJeff 12 Posted January 27, 2014 (edited) I'd be up for it. Its essentially like a more tiring, less efficient bike that can only be used on the official concrete roads and not dirt roads forests or plains that make up 99% of the map. The advantage is portability. edit: also, obviously either longboards or classic cruising skateboards from the 70s. Trick skateboards are impractical for travel.

ScreenChimp 0 Posted February 25, 2014 I'd love skateboards... like you said its good for portability and is an easy way to travel, but i've tried to skateboard and it's pretty hard to do.I know this doesnt make much of a difference but longboarding is much easier so maybe that can be added instead!

Valadain 270 Posted February 25, 2014 (edited) I don't much care either way, but just for educational purposes, improperly maintained roads turn to potholes alarmingly fast. Also, skateboards are a bit louder than I'd recommend with zombies about. Edited February 25, 2014 by Valadain Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
