Please add a death playback /killcam optional function into the GAME

[msy 11]

Yeah I can. My own stupidity, suicide, invisible zombie ghosts, and stupidity + zombies. I avoid players like the plague.

So the surviver simulator changes to the hide-and-seek game, that's why DEAN HALL said it is a  fundamentally flawed game,right?

Wouldn't you consider every military shooter a hide and seek game? You hide behind cover, and seek baddies to kill, and what does have to do with being killed by zombies, bugs, and inexperience?

Ah, we do need more of the same sort? Lovely.

BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA. Ahh, man, are you for real? Congratulations, you made me lose my sides!

I prefer no kill cam because I like not knowing who shot me or where it came from.

What a survival game should like? As human beings, we should remake a human society as the basic goal then the stable society, finally the revival from apocalypse. Without society human being are one kind of animals. For now in the game you are an animal to seek and eat, to hide and die.

If the game has no ability to reduce killing each-other, why not adding a killcam to help killing each-other?

Lets not all resort to calling the OP nasty things or insinuating he is stupid, lets instead point out the many reasons why killcams have no place in DayZ. 

 

For me one reason would be the use of KC to give other players (squad mates) the position of my killer.

The only variation where this works is a simple text notification... You were shot. You fell to your death. You were eaten. You masterbated to death (Shift-F7, I think).

That's basically nature.

 

The kill cam can easily be exploited. Oh, there's a sniper pinning you down and you have no idea where he is shooting from? No worries, your friend that's a fresh spawn can get killed and the now absurd kill cam will reveal his position! Oh the joy! After receiving all of the information by using third party software for communications, you hunt down the sniper and kill him. And you think to yourself, THAT WAS NOT FUN AT ALL.

Rebuilding the society one kill cam at a time? OK, good news is that you've discovered the basic requirement for civilzation. Too bad, we don't have kill cam in the real world! What a mess it will become when the zed-apocalypse finally begins! It will be just like in all those awful games without kill cams... No, wait...

Servers should also have the option to turn off PVP so that players can't take damage from other players.

 

How would that work in a mixed population server? There are one or two servers available that are PvE. Probably private, I don't recall.

[WrecklessMEDIC 129]

I think it would be a nice feature. I would definitely use it if I could. :)

Maybe not everyone mine why and how he/she is dead, but for me or others like me, I suggest DAYZ add death playback/ killcam function which can be optional in the server difficulty setting for the reason below:

1. Due to ALPHA stage, both anty-cheater system and program stability are not good, many people are confused to judge what causes his/her death. With the playback you can see the trueth.

2. For someone who insist reality, this function can be disabled in the server setting.

3. It is a game, not a real life. Since someone likes to kill for fun, and someone more likes a cooperation, with the playback, it might give the killer more pressure if he wants to be camper.

4. If there is a 3rd person's view, why not adding a playback? In my opinion, the former is a cheating way at some condition.

 

 

Sorry... this is a horrible idea (IMO).  If you don't want to get killed, play more tactically.  As many others have mentioned, this isn't CoD or BF..  With the respawn method in DayZ, seeing a kill cam is useless, no one is going to kill you, and sit and wait the 1 hour you need to run to get back to where you were and be waiting in the same spot, rendering a kill cam useless.  If you are in a group and someone gets killed, take cover, use your eyes, locate the shooter and use tactics to counter him.  The things DayZ doesn't have (stats, kill cams, nade spamming, etc..) is what makes it so much more exciting to play.  You have to value your life in DayZ, you don't spawn with an RPG, 15 nades, 230 rounds of ammo and a LMG..  you have to work for what you have and then work to keep it.

Aww but it's not often that something so monumentally stupid appears that I feel obliged to break my usual code of being reasonable and nice to everyone.

But now this will live on indefinitely, and finally one day before not too long, Rocket will see it. Then sure he shall see the error of killcamless ways.

[janol 65]

That's your first post on this forum? How does it even relate to the OP? :huh:

 

Well, to put it this way, it is still a remarkable improvement over OP. So maybe we should talk about that for a while

I don't think it would at all be feasible to use a kill cam as part of some revenge tactic. But I do see it's use as a learning tool.

Seeing how you died will naturally help you to play better. Maybe you won't go running into that grocery store so quickly next time, maybe you'll spend a little more time scouting a village, etc....

Or, you know... I could just tell my mates exactly where you shot me from and they could hunt you down like a dog.

Hello, you must be new here and WELCOME ABOARD :D.. we cant have dayz end up like alot of other games, giving you poofy clues to what happen if you died. If you died you died cause you made a shit mistake and thats no ones problem but your own so you shouldnt be rewarded with a kill cam 

 

So many peeps want shit ideas in dayz that are from so many average games.. can any ma dayz brothers and sisters gimme a hell no for how bad a kill cam would be for immersion ?!?!  FARK THAT !  ^_^
