PANIC button

[lippuringo 0]

Some time ago i play

. I find it's very close to DayZ in some points. And i think DayZ needs some sort of it's own PANIC! button.

So when you press PANIC! button in ZP!S you drop all your stuff and take some speed boost. Very cool option to survive. Why i think DayZ need the same thing? Well, first of, this game pretend to be realistic. Do you really gonna stay still while someone shoot at you or try to eat? I don't think so. You gonna run like a mad. At second it's better gameplay way, than alt+f4. At third, i love copy/paste while it's good idea and can compilate with game setting.

So what i think PANIC! button can give you (can be not everything at the time, but at least some of it):

• You immidiately drop your main weapon and backpack (if it's full or have more than 3 slots used). If you have chezh or better backpack, you have some chance to drop it even if it's don't have any item in it. Probably drop some big things from toolbelt like toolbox and axe.
  
• You gain speed boost for 10-15 seconds. Probably you can get current zombie run speed. It's little faster than player speed and give you enought mobility to survive against sniper and zombies.
  
• This doesn't work while you unconscious.
  
• If you have broken bone. Well, i think there can be some penalties from benefits, but must give you chance to survive. Like 5-8 seconds of normal player run speed, some big chance to get short unconscious, shock, pain effect after effect ends. And faster animation of getting up. Without this, i think, it's can become too much useless.
  
• Probably, after using this, you can run away through zombie OR deal some amount of damage (like 1k?) to them without any weapon (just kick them). So this ability can become usefull for noobs if they zombies make them stuck at some buildings.
  

I think that's all.

Why drop all your gear when you can run through a bush or a building to lose a zombie?

You want to lose Zombies run through evergreen trees and other bushes. If it has leaves you can run through the Zed's have to walk. Done.

Why everyone ignore word "sniper" and make accent on "zombie"? I really can't get it

And no, you drop not all your stuff, you drop HEAVY stuff.

Snipers dont run after you. And a good sniper only needs 1 shot. Still useless IMO.

Why would I want to drop a gun for which I can turn around and return fire if other players are around, they most likely won't stop until your dead so why drop your gun so you have no weapon to shoot back?????

1. Snipers not only 1 danger thing in game.

2. You need run from sniper, for some reasons. And you run, mostly.

3. If there is so many good snipers, so why so many whining about alt+f4?

Sometimes you need run away, like in wood. It's not so hard to run away from enemies if you have enought mobility and speed. And you drop your weapons. It's hard for you to find decent weapons? For me it's harder to find NVG, GPS, Matches, Camo, Rangefinder, toolbox and same thing. Not the main weapon. Lol, yesterday i run 5 hours without off hand gun, cause i just can't find any, but i found AKM on deer stand and lot of mags for it almost after respawn.

Not a good suggestion. I too have played ZPS, but I really do not think day-z needs a 'panic' button. It is useless, nevertheless. Who is really going to want to drop a time consuming loot pile?

Ok, i explain shortly: You die, you lost everything. You press panic button, you lost half your stuff and take real chance not to die.

I would rather put up a fight then have someone taking my loot without having to kill me. Makes it easier for bandits.
