More ideas for the devs (gym & toilet feature)

[archamedes 238]

so my custom faces post had mixed opinions but most seemed game for it but how about having the option to get fit (running 10km asside here) and have like weight lifting or add a gym building for players to build up their own strengh so they can take more damage because apart from

 

looting

arranging your wardrobe

hunting

fishing

crafting

capturing players

shooting players

camping other players

exploring

 

it will just give people something extra to do. And secondly I would love to see a toilet system introduced. Everyone keeps banging on about realism and immersion, after all we have feeding, drinking and a first aid system, but what about actually taking a piss or crouching down to take a dump? I was online with my mates the other night and one of them had to leave his pc for a second and in the kneeling position by a tree he actually looked like he was taking a crap. Would b nice to see the text at the bottom saying "I really need the toilet" and if you ignore it oo long "My body feels wet." and you get a soaked label in the inventory. I also love the idea of opening up a portaloo or outhouse to see someone pinching one off and I get to light him up. Think of the youtube hillarity. Sure you will get people saying Its disgusting or its not needed in game.... but when the hell do you go to the toilet? Ususally when you think your safe and you leave the game for a few minutes.

There will be no survivalist poo-parties. This has been addressed.

Also, this thread belongs in "Suggestions" .

Fck no! I spend enough time at gym irl.

The moment we get tedious weight lifting introdeced to increase your characters strenght we will see bots that will do that for you.

 

Don't have the opinion about toilet actions but I can image massive bitchfest on the forums when bandits add shitting on the body of thier victim to their routine.

No. This is not State of Decay or GTA.

 

Having to take a dump in the game will be amusing once. After that, it is just going to be annoying.

[archamedes 238]

well i think you should at least get the option to when you open an outhouse or are in the woods even if the game doesn't depend on you doing it

[fowang 60]

BIG NO

[archamedes 238]

well in that case i dont wanna see you moaning the game needs more realistic features then

[Elle 562]

BIG NO

I'll second that - realism aint why I play, distraction is.

ORIGINAL poster: I like where you're going with these ideas. I believe we should expand on your concepts. Keep the brainstorm brewing!!

Working out and poopin' is required for survival!!

The idea itself is alright, but i can think of a million other things we should focus on first. Yes we do have a feeding, drinking and first aid system, is the next one we need really a excrement system?

No thanks OP
I'd rather see a focus on the "now all the humans are gone, the world is my oyster" sandbox element

Like being able to ramp cars off walls into zombies for gnarly jumps, or climb on top of tall buildings and set up a fort on top of them, stuff like that.

Gyms and shits are pretty boring additions in the face of what we could have. You gotta think deeper.

[a_ruttle 199]

Yes because, when you're in the middle of a zombie apocalypse, and need to be able to cover vast distances fast, you'll really want to be doing workouts that leaves you weak and aching 3-5 times a week.

[BeefBacon 1185]

Definitely! The best part of GTA:SA was going to the gym!

 

Wait, no, it was the worst.

 

Frankly I'd rather not see a pooping mechanic. I fail to see what it'd actually add to the game besides a mild inconvenience. While I agree that it'd be realistic, I don't think I'd get much of a kick out of watching my character squeeze out a shit.

Pfft. Does anyone even lift? Betas can't even get totes swoll. What are the bros coming to these days?
