Suggestion: Age

[NotRedd 51]

So I figure it would be pretty cool way down the line of day z beta if the team could develop ages in the game. I mean such as younger players and younger zombies, or older players and older looking zombies. Between a reasonable age, like 16-50ish.  Also I think it would be neat if these ages set apart you're natural ability in the game. Older = wiser so better with bandaging and what not, but also means you're more liable to breaks or injury and sickness. The average age would just be you're plain all around average joe he is normal at basically everything. Younger people would be a bit worse with guns in terms of recoil. You're also a smaller target to hit though. 

 

Just an Idea that I would like to see. Also I feel if there were a difference between ages in day z, that they should be very different. Not so simplified.  If we get new skeletons for players we could probably implement it for zombies too.

I just want beards to show age and by age I mean survival time, that is all.

I realized that AFTER I posted it! If a mod could move this, that would be great!

I actually like the idea, only it should be measured in hours or so. Like every hour is a day or a week.

I think it would be cool, but it wouldn't be unisex at all. So I think this would be cool to have as well.

I think we could do with more of a range of player models, to increase personalization. Certainly height and hair colour at least. I'd like my character to reflect my age though, that would be good.

I really,really don't like this idea.

I'm pretty sure we will see things like this during the beta content pushes.  Variations in age, hair color/type, as well as facial hair are all great ideas that the vast majority of people are sure to get on board with.

Any specific reason why, or are you just a grumpy guss?

Agree with this approach.

As long as we don't get 12 year old characters who act like supar animu badasses, why not?

the stuff you are describing is not a matter of age, it is a matter of training and experience.
Do you really think that a 50 year old man is prone to breaking bones more than a 16 year old?
the stamina, physical performance gets worse, but only like 10 or 15 %.

Yes because I'm a god damn video game expert. You really think if they WERE to take these ideas and keep them? No of course not. I just want the age. Jesus Christ.

@notredd

then post only what you want and leave the distracting bull**** out.

Age as a means of charachter customization with absolutely no restrictions whatsoever,is okay with me.

If we are looking for a way to know how many Days our curent charachter is alive,

perhaps a command should be in order (eg write on chat /timealive and see your charachter alive time)

If we want oters to know more about us,we can have an "inspect" function and choose whether we want to share

the information with others players (eg:I get the message "User Banana wants to inspect you" i click accept,Banana sees:Name:Damnyourdeadman Age:22 Days Alive:12)
