Should Helicopter Crashes Make A Return and if so How Many?

[leefriendfield 438]

Plenty of people want Helicopter Crashes back in DayZ so how many Helicopters Crashes or No Helicopter Crashes do you want in DayZ.

Dynamic rotating between 1 and 4 after every server restart.  This way you never know how many you are looking for.  Keeps you searching for baby nessy.

Definately! If not helicopter crash sites, then at least some other random event.

I agree with Sir Steak, there should be a random range rather than a set number. I think it'd be cool if some were events kinda like Rust's paradrop where you can watch one go down (maybe they spawn away from people, so they can just have a simple animation and when it gets to the ground, the animated chopper disappears and is substituted with a crashed one to save time and energy working out all the collisions and whatnot on the animated one). Maybe once in a while you see one go down but the majority are crashed already? I dunno, I'd be happy either way and that's a level of polish that isn't really needed at this stage.

I said 3, but rotation between 1-3 between restarts keeps everything interesting. I'd like to see them spawn randomly instead of always in the same four locations

Any kind of dynamic changing variable related to the weather and heli crash's would be great.

Seeing one go down, or perhaps seeing a cargo plane go down, would be fun, and hopefully create some tension as various players try to find the wreck.

Yes I do believe they should return. The number should be randomly generated between 0-8 in my opinion.

i want variety i wanna see military convoys along the road i wanna see medical rescue convoys along the road and bettrr yet train convoy wreckage and boat wreckage too

Random number I say - also they shouldn't be straight from restart either. As in I think they should spawn as the day goes on, or occasionally even fall from the sky as a burning wreck. If that's not immersion breaking (?)

I agree with the dynamically spawned wrecks.

 

There was a time when everyone was posting about random encounters they had...encountered. People would talk about seeing doctors and such jumping off of buildings because they couldn't take it anymore. Others would talk of military units rolling through town, taking out everything in sight....and also witnessing heli crashes.

 

The random encounters rumors were always just that though. Rumors. I don't think any of those things actually happened, but I do believe they are planned for...the future!

[NicoBaloira1357 24]

I want heli crashes to come back in another firm, like a random military camp, or something like that

[gemellus 77]

I would like to see nationality based heli crashes. USMC helis drop American gear, Russian helis drop Russian gear, British helis drop British gear, and Chernarus helis (the most common) drop CDF loot.

This is a great idea

it would be nice if they returned, makes those long runs more exciting when you could randomly come across some decent loot in the middle of nowhere.

 

Also this would make the random wilderness and forest areas more popular for player interactions.

Thats what I miss the most from the mod, random engagements in the woods.

Eventually, the DayZ experience will need random elements to sustain interest. Chopper crashes are great. Would also LOVE to see another plane crash, ideally a military transport full of goodies...
