Cannibalism

[ryan__mc__@hotmail.co.uk 131]

Oh look out, we have a badass out here who likes eating bodies instead of the goddamn food the people just killed had in their packs.

And I'm sorry, I wasn't aware you lived in an infected fictional game where you can kill and eat people.

So this dumbshit who explains that human bodies are not only a great way to remove hunger, they're so common that they are the best option! Wow, if you think to actually eat the body instead of looking inside of the pack the person was carrying, you clearly are an idiot. If you (supposedly) kill so many people, you would have to be a fucking dumbass to realize that ONE of them has to have food in their pack.

@moofactory: A) That's a movie. B) Doesn't matter if it's based off of real life, you're not one of them. C) They didn't have viable alternatives for food unlike in DayZ.

I love how every one of your posts is full of holes.

Ophidion says "And I'm sorry, I wasn't aware you lived in an infected fictional game where you can kill and eat people" - didnt say i was....but im asking for the feature.

Ophidion says "Oh look out, we have a badass out here who likes eating bodies instead of the goddamn food" - If i couldnt find food or was low on food and cannabalism was an option ..then yes id eat bodies.

Ophidion says "Wow, if you think to actually eat the body instead of looking inside of the pack the person was carrying, you clearly are an idiot" - and what if they dont have food ? what if they just ate it or just spawned not long ago ? Then there would be no food to take...so cannabalism it is.

Ophidion says "you would have to be a fucking dumbass to realize that ONE of them has to have food in their pack" What if they dont ..or what if they only have like a can of beans? I know what id do ..id eat the body...and save the food for the journey.

Those where little giggle replies i wrote down as i didnt even have to use serious thought out replies to show that you where wrong yet again ..I love how easy you make it for me to slap your argument :)

Ah, I love misguided noobs who act condescendingly superior. It must be nice to be so wildly out of touch with reality.

Yes, you're right. There are certain situations in the game in which cannibalism would potentially be justified. Rocket even says there are still large numbers of people who die to starvation or thirst, so there must be some shortage of food. However, that's besides the point - a cannibalism mechanic would be arbitrary in implementation and very limited in application.

If a survivor is capable of killing another survivor, that person is at the point in the game where food is not an issue. You have a gun? You can walk into a town and loot for food. Given DayZ's current loot tables, you'd practically have to pass up food on purpose in order to make use of a cannibalism mechanic. To add it would bring arbitrary controversy, akin to how GTA throws in everything offensive it can think of just for the hell of it.

Sorry m8 ...troll deflected :) nice try though!

The first step to recovery is admitting that you have a problem. Ignorance and blatant idiocy can be beaten, you just have to want to change!

Loving how you ignore my arguments with a simple "Lol, guy doesn't agree with me, troll" handwave. What, afraid of being wrong?

@moofactory: A. That's a movie. B. Doesn't matter if it's based off of real life, you're not one of them. C. They didn't have viable alternatives for food unlike in DayZ.

A: its based on a an actual crash and they did have to do that, B: why not?... In that situation Id do that.

C: Sometimes there aren't viable alternatives in DayZ.

I was in a town the other day and there was not one food item in sight.

I was running low on food fast...blinking for about 5 mins already,

I was too far to be looking for an animal to kill.

There was a dead player near by... but sadly I cant eat him.

I try frantically to look around for food.

I die.

Sometimes we need to go a little om nom nom on someones dead ass.

Speak for yourself. In reply to every post I've made, you just say "stick to the topic." Since you obviously can't be bothered to read an "off topic" post, here's a brief summary:

1) Why should we implement this suggestion when Rocket has himself said that such a mechanic would limit the game's availability?

2) Why should we implement this suggestion, given that food as a loot spawn is relatively common and survivors who are in a position to hunt other survivors for food are equally able to loot basic houses?

3) Why should cannibalism be implemented before less controversial and more logical concepts, such as eating wild food and produce?

3) Why should cannibalism be implemented before less controversial and more logical concepts, such as eating wild food and produce?

1) Because it adds realism and a darker side to the game ....Great stuff (Did Rocket say that this specific feature would limie game availabilty ? also there is ways around adding stuff like this in without it being banned ..some as simple as not showing any annimation (if you live in one of those countries where it could get banned)

2) Look to what "Moofactory" wrote above for your answer

3) Because its a great feature that alot of people would like and it would be easy to add thats why ! Also adds more deapth into what people might do during an zombie apocalypse. And btw theres not always viable things to do in certain situations ...as moofactory has already explained above with lack of food.

Now i feel that i have explained my idea and poked all the holes that need poking in your and that other guys posts ....so imma leave it at that and let you try troll or rearm your argument with more hole filled thought so ill just not reply and let the topic continue without me untill i see something interesting by someone who acucally knows what there talking about!

It ads choice... it impacts on the moral compass of people.. it expands on how the game affects the player beyond the game its self.

Tough choices is what makes "the walking dead" game so great... Your faced with having to make tough decisions with little time to think about the consequences... some people surprise themselves and it can make an impact on them.

However the difference here is... you are not forced to make that choice if you dont want to.. you can walk away.

I think it would be interesting to see who chooses to use such a feature and who doesn't.

Just because its there... doesn't mean anyone has to.

Main reason... why the hell not? / Because it can be done.

Give people the ability to do something... I guarantee you they will do it.

Id eat you.

Ive seen heaps of vids of 2 players running away from a mob of zeds and one is killed... Why not go back and eat him?.... you just lost 8000 blood!

:D

You guys clearly have never made a game before.

Balance > Realism

Realism =/= Fun

The reason we HAVE these alternatives to eating, is that players are SUPPOSED to decide how to treat their time. Whether to grab food, drinks, ammo, weapons.

Your shitty "alternative" is a double negative. The cons:

- You reduce the need for the actual loot spots for food. Just go out, and kill a player and eat him.

- If no one USES the feature, because the players are too hard to find and it's not worth it, it just wastes time as a useless feature.

- You're encourging MORE PvP (Which we really don't need).

- Food is instantly less valuable, and hunting becomes more and more redundant.

- If you actually suck that much for the feature to be useful, you need to spend time getting your priorities straight on how to search for items.

- You essentially remove dying from starvation as a huge issue. We WANT it as an issue, it's what makes it fun.

- It CAN get banned in places if it is on a standalone game.

- It's controversial as hell.

Here are some of the "pros"

- Yes, it serves as a seemingly useless alternative, but an alteranative none the less.

That's all I can think of. All the pros of this idea are terrible, and so little to no purpose. It actually ruins the game for people, because you claim that you kill sooo many people. It'll just encourage players to player hunt more, we want LESS PvP, and more teamwork with strangers.

i want to eat these dead bodies and have the flies as a snack.

[schockie 16]

I have spoken about cannibalism in this mod before, and I do agree with Ophidion.

As much as id like to see it happen, it will only encourage more PVPing. Which we are trying to tone down.

[Worrun (DayZ) 108]

Not considered objectionable. Having an animal eat a human isn't offensive, having a human eat a human is.

STILL doesn't cover the fact that you're a lazy, pathetic liar. That just pisses me off - why lie about using the search bar? It's like murdering a cop to cover up a murder!

Are you on your fucking PMS or something? Jesus Christ

Otherwise, I think this is a good idea but who knows :o

Well, I'm against the Player turning Cannibal. There is the Option in the Game to slaughter Goats AFAIK and Sheep, eat their Flesh and so regain Blood. That should be enough and should suffice.

And the other Point of not implementing this has also been said, it's Australia and New Zealand who would blacklist this Mod if Cannibalism would be a feature.

A loud and clear "NO!" from me.

BTW, you can play the "Dark Side" by killing other Players. What do you expect? Should Rocket also build in Rape and Torture?

Wow, that was so unoriginal it hurt.

Please learn to spell correctly, it seems to be one of the MANY things you need to work on.

Killing other players isnt dark though is it ? werv done that many times in many games... and like i said THERE IS ways around it not gettin banned in Australia and New Zealand if you accually read my posts you would know that. Also i like how you think that slaughtering animals is always viable..It isnt always just look to Moos post as he gave and example of what happened to him. And please grow up m8 ..rape and torture ? if they had any survival benefits then yes but they dont :) Also engine wouldnt alow such features anyways ..but cannabalism is most certainly a hunger solver and easy to add into mid with the engine.

Ironical or not ...You still wrote it and it was silly.

i only overlooked most of the first page and already want to eat all of you.

kids will be kidding............

And please grow up m8 ..rape and torture ? if they had any survival benefits then yes but they dont :)

bandits killing unarmed players don't have any survival benefits either. yet it is a very serious threat and part of the game.

this is a SANDBOX game. you should be able to do anything you like.

Also engine wouldnt alow such features anyways

they said something similiar about implementing melee into dayz and being able to fly to the moon....
