blunce 991 Posted April 17, 2014 Hello DayZ community, So to my understanding, the finished game will have persistant loot/storage/basebuilding, meaning that your campground & supplies will forever be tied to that one server, correct? If this is true, my suggestion would be to add warning signs for those who may be approaching on your territory.Some examples would be:-"Danger Ahead"-"Keep Out"-"Hostile Area"-"Shoot on Site"-Or even a symbol such as a skull & cross bones (basically indicating danger), or directional signs with an arrow pointing in a certain direction for the owner of the campsite's own reference. There could be friendly signs as well such as:-"Trading Post"-"Friendlys Ahead"-etc. Could be a craftable item made from wood, rope, & spraypaint (I'm using that example for simplicitys sake as those items are already in-game). For those who would want it to be a little more realistic, they could be made from a wooden plank, sticks, hammer & nails, & spray paint. Just need to add those items to the game, which obviously is that much more work on the devs side. I was originally thinking to myself to make the signs completely customizable & give the player the free will to put anything that they please on it, but I saw a post a while back suggesting to allow players to spray paint messages on surfaces, & peoples concern with that was server performance issues, & people writing hate-speech & what not. So I think the same issues apply to this concept. All feedback welcome-blunce Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

blunce 991 Posted April 17, 2014 I think spray painting on walls/signs would be cooler having a set list of decals to spray I hate to use this game as an example but Zombiu did an ok job with the painting Dont hate me its just an examplelol I'm not hating man, examples like that are constructive. I've never even heard of that game so you tought me something. That was generally along the lines of what I was thinking. If we were given the option to freely spray on anything we please, I think it would definitely be a good idea to limit it to pre-made decals & messages. Just so there isn't a dick on the side of every house. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If the community can tolerate the minority of bads things that people do with feature, for the majority of benefits people could get from it, then by all means let us paint on anything we please! I for one don't get easily offended by such things so I support it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
theevancat 94 Posted April 17, 2014 Ah, but isn't freedom a part of DayZ? I'm sure dickbutt would appear on every house if there were zombies IRL. It's even there without a catastrophe. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It's even there without a catastrophe.Very true my friend, & honestly, I really don't think that people would abuse it THAT much. But of course there are those who will write profanity. I think it's a matter of the devs decision on how they want their finished game to appear. I mean it is pegi18 ;) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MetapoliC 263 Posted April 17, 2014 Be able to create such warning signs / shields ingame would be a useful addition and I think the idea is good. Maybe devs are already working on somee additions for housing Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
theevancat 94 Posted April 17, 2014 (edited) Or, to simplify, typing in and it converts it to a font that looks handwritten and sprays that on the wall (multiple fonts randomly assigned to each spawn to simulate different lettering styles and handwriting like with randomly generated blood types? Or it can get neater as you go, like with Rocket's saying of "practicing will make you better at something.") Edited April 17, 2014 by TheEvanCat Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
