Iezza 108 Posted March 8, 2014 I have an idea, how about if you do not have human interaction that lasts over 2 minutes get within 20/30 feet of a human) or if both of you communicate(Text or Voip) ( for 10/15 hours then your brain starts to develop insanity. Insanity would cause you to : randomly hear Zeds when no one is around ( 15hrs into insanity) ,see ghostly figures of humans that then turn into screamers as you get close (jump out at you, 20hrs into insanity)randomly feel pain and messed up your status afflictions( not sure if hungry or insanity , 25Hrs)have suicidal thoughts, occasionally pull gun up to head ( if trigger is pressed at this time, you die , obvious wind up animation to avoid accidental death, 30hrs)Not being able to differentiate a zombie from a player ( 35hrs) Insanity can be cured by speaking/ being next to a human for 1/3* hours into insanity minutes ( insanity for 15hours can be cured in 5minutes of interaction.

res 373 Posted March 8, 2014 It is already implemented. I keep hearing zombies, cans opening, drinking, doors opening or fences even if there's completely nothing around me. ... :D 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Iezza 108 Posted March 8, 2014 How may i move this thread then? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lafeasd 35 Posted March 8, 2014 Because anything that has to do with forcing people to be "friendly" with each other is going to be rejected. IF what you are looking for is more player interaction, then limiting the ammo is the only way to go. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
antonioajc 500 Posted March 8, 2014 (edited) How may i move this thread then?You don't. PM a mod and ask him to move your thread. Also, what you suggested has been said multiple times. If you had posted this on Reddit, then the mods over there would've removed it now that they're enforcing the suggestions to be relevant and not echoes.

Zjasuu 337 Posted March 8, 2014 I'd like to have a system for insanity too, but this would be exploited by players in groups, and lone wolves would get a bad position. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

finnpalm 312 Posted March 8, 2014 There is a term called "cabin fever" which refers to a state than can, occur after prolonged time in solitude and not only by staying in a cabin, unlike what Wikipedia states. The symptoms (although this is not considered a medical affliction) includes a paniclike need for social interaction and a claustrophobic feeling. This state is easily cured by meeting other people.A pop-culture example is the movie "The Shining", although they're taking it further, allowing the main character to go completely nuts even though he is with his wife and child, which would in reality postpone the effect to some extent.

Gandolaf 81 Posted March 8, 2014 What an original idea. I think this was never ever suggested before. Even better, use it as a punishment for people who kill on sight! This will have much support and was never posted before! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Viner Cent 7 Posted March 8, 2014 I actually kind of like it. It would punish KOS players, and 15 hours ingame are a lot of time (like one to two weeks IRL). And it is a fakt people get crazy without social interaction, why not implement it? And you would be forced to play on servers with more people, would raise the risk and make it more intense. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Duenan 226 Posted March 8, 2014 its not a bad idea. It would add something definately to the game if the fundamentals are reworked. I like the idea of just being around zombies as causing stress. Same with getting shot at. There could be a bit of a sanity meter like Amnesia where if you go nuts you auto suicide with whatever weapon you have. Or maybe your char just sits down wherever he is an mutters crazily to themselves 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
onkel (DayZ) 5 Posted March 8, 2014 Make the environment more realistic instead and thr insanity for the loners will come naturally.Why do you guys always want to dictate emotions and feelings or psychological effects through game mechanic when a well depicted world in itself has the power to unleash those things.I thought this is what day z was supposed to be anyways....

Smartsham 21 Posted March 8, 2014 To be honest i've survived without human contact for longer than 15 hours.Ya but you also would take more than 20 min to recover your blood volume after eating beans, or becoming instantly hydrated after drinking a canteen of water. The game clock is a little faster. I do like this idea, but the time frame would have to be pushed up, say 2-3 days? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Old_Crow_Whiskey 119 Posted March 8, 2014 (edited) I am sooooo tired of hearing about insanity and mental health constructs. It's not gonna happen. The only mental health aspects of this game are in the minds of the players. Butthurt about KOS? Go find and kill a KOS player. That's the only solution now and into the future of this game. You could seriously start a sub forum for all the "insanity" and "mental health" suggestion threads. <_< Edited March 8, 2014 by Old_Crow_Whiskey Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
