iongaming33@aim.com 137 Posted April 18, 2014 Remember in the mod when you logged in, some text popped up in the bottom right of your screen? It told you the map, your location, and how many days you've survived in the apocalypse. This was one of my favorite things when the mod came out. It was very immersive, and made me proud when it popped up saying "Day 37". I feel this should be put back into standalone. When people start moving up north due to tents, vehicles, and more guns (I shouldn't even need to explain the importance of certain items/weapons that can ONLY be found at airfields/military bases, but that's a whole different point.) Anyways, when people actually start surviving in this survival game, I think it's important that they know how long they've been alive to attach them to that character a bit more. I think most would prefer the text that pops up in the corner of the screen on login, and no, I'm not talking about the annoying BEC chat that tells you every time someone connects/disconnects, I mean some bigger text that pops up in the corner of your screen. Obviously, it wouldn't tell you your location, maybe Chernarus, but it would tell you "Day 1, Day 19" etc... Another idea would be the journal system that was put into the mod recently, your character always has this journal on him that tells you how many days you've been alive. Anyways, I hope everyone sees my argument on how immersive this feature is, and I hope it gets added to the game. It might even already be planned. If you happen to think up any reason why this could be a bad idea, please post it below. Thanks for reading and have a nice day. -Jigsaw 5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

massacrorBKK 64 Posted April 18, 2014 Good idea indeed. It make you want to survive longer and not only play at war. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ekd 13 Posted April 18, 2014 I would already rejoice about a "zombies killed" counter. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
iongaming33@aim.com 137 Posted April 18, 2014 I would already rejoice about a "zombies killed" counter. If it were a journal, I could see a "Zombies Killed" page or even one for players killed, like it is in the mod. Not sure how the devs would do it, would you need to find the journal and start recording or would you just always have it? Could things like that take away from immersion?

Powell (DayZ) 734 Posted April 18, 2014 I actually forgot about this. It shouldn't mention your location, but I would love a day count to return 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
