I'm going CRAZY! (Mental illness)

Recommended Posts

The amount of outright murdering and killing on sight is caused by the fact that there is no penalty for doing so.

In reality, I like to think only complete pyschopaths would grab a sniper rifle, a guillie suit and go sit in the woods waiting to murder other humans. I like to think in reality only pyschopaths would take a hatchet and stick it in someones face for a can of beans in a store full of cans of beans. In reality, serial murderers are considered pyscopathic and usually end up in prison or a mental hospital.

In Dayz, the penalty for NOT killing everyone you see is your own death. The penalty for killing everyone you see is lolz and maybe some free loot.

My Suggestion:

Mental Illness. Yes thats right kids...mental illness. After murdering enough people maybe some twitching at inopportune times (weapon sway or blurred vision). Possibly a random fit of rage (black out or rolling on ground). Talking to yourself in gibberish or some random screaming/ranting. The more people you kill, the worse and more often the effects would get.

Might need to find yourself some Jack Daniels or Morophine/drugs to calm yourself for awhile. Use enough of that you might become a mental pyschopathic drug addict or alcoholic!

Hey, the idea it's not shit, but it has been already suggested several times indeed.

People against this kind of already suggested ideas (mental illness, depression, paranoia, hallucinations...) say that no way of playing should be punished. What they don't realize is that not killing on sight is the playstyle that is being punished right now. KOS is all laughs and party, but trying to communicate with some other survivor without shooting first is suicide. And this, as stated several times before, is not realistic. Only psychopaths would kill for sport, so you should feel like a psychopath if you kill needlessly. And DayZ is trying to be all about realism, isn't it?

Somethings need to be done.

How about you use the search function before making redundant suggestions. This has already been suggested dozens of times.

What's to say that a psychopathic murderer would not function logically, or in any way that would affect gameplay? It's not a realistic idea to penalize player-killers with 'mental illness'. It does not work that way. That is pure fantasy.

Kitta has a good point. And this is no means a stab at veterans. I served and thank all those that have as well. But what the OP has suggested is realism and that would be after your done playing as a bandit in dayz then all the sudden you have no reliable healthcare, can't hold a job, and require therapy... if this sounds stupid its because it is stupid. Pvp is an integral part of this game. In a broad stroke... should team play be encouraged yes. But you will always have shoot first ask questions later players. Please by no means take offense to the veteran comment it was meant to illustrate how dumb the anti pvp posts are


Ugh I'm sure that post is gonna get some hate mail....
