How would you guys like a Weight and Stamina system ?

[gibonez 3633]

I doubt anyone in here has played it before but there is a single server running its own version of Dayz/ACE mod.

 

This custom mod adds ACE's amazing features such as wind, ballistics, mrad/moa elevation adjustments, bipod deployments and others but the single biggest gameplay changing addition is the addition of stamina and weight.

 

This makes it impossible to sprint like an Olympic runner everywhere you go. You can only sprint a short distance before you can't run anymore, you resort to walking more and if you are making a long trek you make sure you pack lightly because every single item weights you down.

 

How would you guys feel if they adopted such a mechanic, of weight and stamina into stand alone.

 

Would this create a more immersive game where every player is not magically running at 15mph everywhere they travel.

 

Will this allow them to add slow zombies that are a thread because of the stamina system forcing your player to sometimes barricade himself and rest when a horde cannot simply be lost on foot.

 

 

What are your thoughts on such a feature.

I have played on some Arma 2 servers with ACE on and it was fantastic. I would definitely love this. :)

I just thought about how important a stamina system would make vehicles such as cars and bikes .

 

While costing stamina too and tiring the player a bicycle would make treking long distances more feasible.

 

With a stamina system getting from berenzino to say balota would not take 30 or so minutes like it does now it would take a few hours due to the reduced speed and having to take breaks.

While there are no vehicles im gonna say no but further down the line i would love to see a stamina system and the ability to infinite sprint removed.

I enjoyed the ace mods bullet ballistics alot more simply because sniping was an amazing challenge. I'd really like to see Dayz SA implement this since they're going for realism(Morphine excluded).

Sounds good.

I want the stamina and weight system even before vehicles are in.  It's ridiculous how we can run forever as it is.   Makes the infected a non factor even with them respawning.

Yea the constant sprinting is super distracting.

 

sprinting should be used very sparingly but its the main form of movement.

I'd love both of these systems. I have assumed for a long time that some form of stamina will be implemented, but item weight would also be lovely.

I'm all for a weight and stamina system and I'm pretty sure it will be something that will be part of the game without having to use a mod, at least it better be :p

Is this even a question tbh?

This has been needed from the very beginning and can only be mentioned, as a core feature of this game :)

We need this so bad, it HAS to be in the game by release, it simply has to, its to important to leave out.

It doesnt matter when we get it, as long as its there by full release tbh.
