Face Masks Useless?

[Robzom11 109]

To my knowledge face masks don't seem to do anything against spreading colds, considering the times we're living in it would be a good time to add functionality... Though to my understanding face masks only help the people around the person wearing it not catch a virus or whatever so maybe I'm using it incorrectly, but if i remember right me and a buddy both had a face mask at one point and kept giving eachother a cold. Do face masks work?

*Bonus- Covid19 should be implemented in-game along with proper blood type interactions as some blood types have no symptoms while others are more vulnerable. Already it would be one of the more interesting diseases/virus's in game with blood type playing a roll. Also age progression causing those who are older characters to be more vulnerable could be a thing and honestly not sure why age isn't already a thing as grey hair could be the visualizer for your character getting old (doesn't seem like alot of work) then maybe a limp when you reach *insert age here*.

They had beards planned. To simulate the aging of characters...... They had so many things planned. 

Then they planned ArmA 4, the rest is history.

Ya i remember seeing it somewhere under "planned features" back when dean hall was running things, almost everything you can think of has already been a "planned feature" at some point lol.

To be fair though supporting DayZ for so long can't be generating enough income to make it reasonable to continually support the game the way they were. My optimistic hope is that eventually they will put some money from other projects (that definitely would yield more income) back into DayZ development, and/or maybe shifting priorities into new games temporarily that have more promise to generate income so that bohemia don't become bankrupt, then again how much money has DayZ generated, is it even reasonable to think their running out? Im not an expert though just tryna look at it through bohemias perspective.

All i know is that i started playing the mod (ArmA 2) there was nothing like it then. 

Waited for the standalone. Which was oke up until 0.62. we had so many mechanics not Just pew pew. 

Robbers, gardeners, medics, outlaws, police, bible readers, book sellers, book readers, books in general to Read, fishing, Hunting, crafting, cooking, communicating, exploring you name it.

Now we mostly have pew pew and no dev support. All money and free hands go to Vigor, ArmA and whatever they are cooking up next.

Well the beards have been in for a couple of years by now, they looked pretty dodgy for a while when they got long but that was fixed a long time ago.

I feel like most the things you're listing are still in the game atleast in some capacity like robbers, hunting, fishing, even crafting (though very limited) you can still garden, & so on, besides book sellers and whatnot, those mechanics are still in DayZ. Is the problem with the mechanics themselves or lack of incentive to use these mechanics? Cuz as far as i can tell you can still explore and do mostly everything you're listing as missing mechanic.

Wait long beards are in game? I've had a character for way too long now and am starting to wish he falls over and dies from whatever disease is associated with old age lmao. Can't seem to grow a big beard, my character can only grow a mustache and gotee, kinda like me irl.

For someone who has been here as long as you......  Did your account got bought by Bi by any chance? 

You're probably still in the pew pew camp....

And your post are always so constructive. Looking for more likes are we? 

Good luck with that. Must give satisfaction. 

I'll still be waiting for the old DayZ. 😉 You go on ahead and play some likes.

Nah they never get long, don't think that is practical due to clipping etc. Same reason no characters have long hair. Boring, but it is what it is.
