sleight 19 Posted February 17, 2014 Since i started playing DayZ, one thing has been in the back of my head regarding blood and bleeding in this game. Quick story: Today, I was at the North West Airfield and got into a firefight with someone up in one of the camo buildings. I had a mosin, plus a bi-pod and a LRS. The person in the window stood still and i shot, it was about a 400m shot. I saw the person, then sit down and log out, but, I'm sure i hit them, not sure how i could miss. But I'm not positive. So, something I've always wanted was to be able to run over to that building and see a blood spot on the ground, letting me know that I hit the person, even if the person is no longer there. The blood spots can despawn after 10 minutes or whatever, so u don't see spots everywhere.This also brings up and interesting thought about tracking a bleeding person, like every couple steps if they don't bandage they drop a couple drops of blood or whatever, but that's something for another time. Would like to hear you thoughts on it. TL:DR - Would u like to see blood spots on the ground where u shot someone? 9 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

odin_lowe 3686 Posted February 17, 2014 Yes, also following blood spills on the ground would be very nice! Tracking someone like that would be very interesting as if you're not the one who shot, you might get to a dead end or even bodies on the ground of recently deceased. (we'll see if they boost the despawn timer in the future, even zombies despawn way too quickly imo) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

(we'll see if they boost the despawn timer in the future, even zombies despawn way too quickly imo)Yeah, i'm an avid hunter, so the whole tracking thing would be nice, and i think it could be implemented pretty seamlessly. Also, in past hunting games ive played, say you come across a blood puddle/spot, u could hit "F" to interact with it, and a little text would pop and say "Approximately 8 minutes old" Also the orientation of the blood, if its a circular puddle, you would know they stood there for a bit while bleeding, but if u see the blood starting to look more elongated u could get a bearing on the way they took off. I understand its Alpha, and there is a lot more pressing matters to take care of, but something for the future maybe. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
HunterJay 81 Posted February 17, 2014 Someone did a really nice blood splatter/trail mod for the DayZ mod. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DeatHTaX 1217 Posted February 17, 2014 I don't know if it's possible to implement in the current game engine.Other than that,it is is a very good idea. if the engine can render bullet holes I don't see how it can't do graphical things like blood spatters. Not to mention the game also has those stupid footsteps that disappear after like 5 seconds Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ineedscoffee 464 Posted February 18, 2014 I'd hope that if and when they add hunting, they give us the ability to track with blood drops. That and broken trail/trees. Mmmmmmm, hunting..... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
