Epidemic (DayZ) 8 Posted July 4, 2012 I think this needs to be addressed, Hiding a body is beening used more and more by bandits everyday. the one's that kill for fun they just kill you don't loot then hide your body so you cannot get any of your stuff back. I think this should be removed as there is no reason for it, Even if you hide a body there will be flies there for an amount of time so stealth is out of the question. I just think it would be be nice to get some of your stuff that you worked hard for back. ~ Epidemic ~ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
The L!ne 31 Posted July 4, 2012 i dont think so. it should be possible to hide your way even if you kill a survivor/bandit. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
random777 23 Posted July 4, 2012 Survival of the fittest, not if i can run back and get my stuff again, so i can try to kill him. He got the gear in the similar way you did, takes what he wants, hiding the rest so others can't take it and use it against him, this is a survival tactic. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
thorgold 91 Posted July 4, 2012 It's a perfectly fine mechanic as is. He killed you, it is no longer YOUR stuff. If he chooses to ditch some of it, who are you to complain? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
The L!ne 31 Posted July 13, 2012 I had a talk with some guys on my teamspeak yesterday: they called my a bit of an "asshole" because i hid it to make the live harder for other players. But my argument: for example i did not take the weapon and let the body where it is: how can i secure that i do not get shot in the back with that weapon? So I hide all my tracks and even zombies will disappear behind me sometimes... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mcslaughter 14 Posted July 13, 2012 Definitely not. Even if the (I've always assumed it's a bug) feature where flies persist after a dead survivor is hidden stays, I believe that hiding a body is a legitimate option and should remain open. From a survival standpoint, why leave all the gear you don't need for someone else to take to possibly use against you? From a standpoint of the dead person trying to run back to their loot, it's no longer YOURS, as someone else already said.This game is designed to not be forgiving. Why should this be any more forgiving than the rest of the game? I disagree with this suggestion. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
scoffield77@gmail.com 192 Posted July 13, 2012 Hiding body (sinking in tot he ground) is stupid and should remove.They should add drag/carry body features to dead units so you can manually hide them.the body should still sink in to the ground, but the time it takes should increase so it sinks slowly (like it's decomposing) to let bodies despawn over time.

Carl's Sr. 29 Posted July 13, 2012 the hide option is a very useful one, if i kill a guy with my m107 i wouldnt want him to be able to get his DMR back and shoot me with it later.the consequence for death in this game is you lose all your stuff, i lost a bunch of good gear when i was a noob and i worked hard hard to get them back time and time and again, now the noobs must learn the same way i and many others did Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Then the game would never be improved ;) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

L0G!N (DayZ) 149 Posted July 13, 2012 Good suggestion 'The L!ne', using a shovel to be able to do this makes it more 'authentic' or 'believable' that you can just 'sink' a body into the ground, and there need to be more tools anyways so the presure on the toolbelt increases... I would suggest it as a thread of it's own, "add a shovel to enable 'hide corpse' feature" ... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Moshine (DayZ) 0 Posted July 13, 2012 I'm pretty sure the Hide Body function is broken, or at least not working.When you re-spawn your old body disappears, it's not because someone hid it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
The L!ne 31 Posted July 14, 2012 it does not! it disapears when you disconnect ;) but i guarded a body from a friend like 30minutes until it disapeared Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Eza (DayZ) 11 Posted July 14, 2012 why you think that they have not taken anything from your dead body?why do you think that your missing body has just vanished? it´s a game/mod. bodies vanish when nobody´s around after time has passed. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
