Mirazoka 15 Posted August 20, 2012 Maybe DayZ can implement a system wherein you can group up with people in the script, like a group/party on WoW, or Left4Dead, and maybe enable nametags once you scroll over someone in your group, so you don't have to be all like "Hey, is that you?" when you're playing with friends.Should keep that nametag appearance to a minimal, since realistically you wouldn't be able to identify a friend from miles away. I hope you know what I mean with this whole idea. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Xucphra 453 Posted August 20, 2012 The system from Arma 2 where all your squad members are marked with green diamonds and number designations would be really convenient in DayZ. Unfortunately, I don't think that would fit into the realistic design.In my personal opinion though, I'd love to see something like this happen. I'm always losing track of friends I play with and having to ask "Is that you?" with a bit of concern. Perhaps that's the idea though, to have to keep track of your own people with no assistance from the interface. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
nicebasi 37 Posted August 20, 2012 This is Day Z.Adding things like this would destroy the Immersion of gameplay.How do you think it works in Reallife? in a Military Squad all looks the same,its just training and comunication how they stick together.

DayZ strives for the peak of realism. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
suky 0 Posted August 20, 2012 Maybe an interface before you enter the game where you can team up/squad up with your friends and you spawn in nearby areas and you meet up together at 1 spot instead of spawning all across the coast and running towards each other for 10 minutes.

I think it's fun trying to find eachother with obstacles such as players or zombies in the way. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
nicebasi 37 Posted August 21, 2012 You are just too spoiled from other Games with high overloaded Interfaces and Groupemechanics .... When it comes down to the Basics like now in Day Z,it shows who can really watch a Buddies ass ;) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

When it comes down to the Basics like now in Day Z,it shows who can really watch a Buddies ass ;)You're clearly not understanding the point of this suggestion. Watching your "Buddies Ass ;)" has nothing to do with identifying two survivors wearing the exact same clothes from afar.
