My suggestions: Player's own faces and refugee boats

[pm985 2]

I'd like to see people's own faces and height/weight option added to DayZ and also AI ferry system.

1. User's own face: I'm not sure if this will just be abused or if it's even possible. But I think it would be cool if players have the option to upload pictures of themselves to be used as their character's face in game, also choosing their own height and weight. This would help immersion and help players recognize each other, and also could have a bigger emotional effect on player killing (being able to see the person's face you just killed) I know this would be very hard to implement and a lot of work to make but it's not impossible? Something like a much much more sophisticated and less silly looking version of what the jibjab website does?

2. AI Ferry system: This is an idea i've had for when players want to go to different maps. I know a ferry system won't be running in a post apocalypse scenario so it could be a beaten up old ship like a refugee boat that comes to the main docks every 5 minutes to take players to other maps and every 10-15 minutes at smaller docks away from pvp areas, then the list of possible maps could be chosen where a player wants to go? I think when the time comes for other maps this could be a more authentic way than teleporting and it could give some point to finding a watch in game. I know rocket wants as little AI as possible, and i'm not sure if players camping out near the docks and make this not work at all but this could be an interesting idea?

Just a couple of thoughts I've had for the far off future maybe?

ITS A SURVIVAL GAME!!!! PVP is going to be part of the game, people need to stop saying it needs to be moved to a different area, dissabled ect... PVP is always going to be part of the SURVIVAL!!

But I'm not suggesting removing or moving any PVP?

you could have bandits controling the ferries, and survivors would have to work together to kill them all to get through...
