Should Player Names Be Added?

[brettorious 1]

i personally think they should, i think it would add a lot to the game, robberys could be reported to police clans and the worst offenders brought to justace, you could also seek revenge on players, it will add lots to the roleplaying with no scripted or pre programmed action i dont think it would deduct from the realism, as in reality you could remember a face to report it or seek revenge, in the game everyone basically looks tghe same lol, anyways just an idea, what does everyone think?

edit. not actually on screen, but in an after action, or player stats sheet.

No, i dont think so :)

Exactly like you can see your attackers name IRL, it should simply not be visible ingame, unless the attacker wants you to know who it is.

sorry, i didnt mean in game, but on like an after action report or player stats screen maybe.

Ahh as in "You where killed by XXXX"??

[brettorious 1]

but i totally agree about not seeing it actually in game on the screen, nothing takes away more from immersion than WOW style info floating above peoples heads

yeah that kind of thing, or a cod style kill video, instead of just the black you are dead screen an you sat wondereing where the heck did that just come from lol

I think it would add alot of character into DayZ to have people make a real name for their character, instead of Steam ID's, or E-names, you know? Maybe that way it will add a little heart into many who are convinced that character is real person, and won't blast their brains out so quick.

 

Just a thought.

NOPE.

 

edit: Also, use the search feature; million threads; etc.

Really? How about an explanation? Be constructive, not annoying.
