New Items: Cigarettes/Cigars?

[mrquacka 15]

What are you, 16? Yes. Yes you are.

Grow up, people are free to make decisions as and when they like and it's their bodies. You being a whiny mong is going to do nothing but waste your time and effort and us laugh at you.

What the hell is wrong with you ? There a some people with a different opinion and you start insulting them just for no reason....

I think you are the one who should grow up, because nobody older than 18 years should act like this.....

To the topic, i don't like the idea either, because there are already items ingame which could come up with the same effects, like painkillers or morphine.... the only difference is you can't smoke them.... at least I think you can't ^^

Am I a now a

gaylord moral noob.

, too ?

And to add: Smoking doesn't make you look tougher or awesome, like you pointed. More likely shows how weak and unfit you are.

Who should grow up? The one making generalisations perhaps?

[apache25 133]

oohhh just smokin weed in the apocalypse man peace man yeah all da man is cool

[mrquacka 15]

First of all is to generalise not the same as to insult somebody...

Second, he just said his opinion about how he thinks about it, you think its badass to walk around with a cigar, he doesn't....

Still its not a reason to insult someone....

[aksuduud 64]

I think, if cigarettes were added, that they should not have any effect at all except being visible at night, smoke if you want, nothing happens as you obviously wont live 50 years in dayz.

Yeah I could live with that. Just an item which would have a cosmetically effect.

[Socom_M1911 4]

Flying huey with pilot glasses while smoking cigars blasting with the m60. 'nuff said, remove dogs add smokes asap..

FUCKING THIS!!!!! ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

this is a really good idea. wouldnt affect the game too much and shouldnt be hard to implement. also it would be badass as hell

The only problem with visible at night is that the "head" of a burning cigarette is probably 100x less bright than that of a chemlight, which is only visable for like 50m or something. You'd have to be <5m away to see a fella smoking.

Well, then I guess I have to say sorry, I was a bit stressed a few hours ago.

Huh? a burning cigarette is pretty visible pretty far away, especially if its exceptionally dark.

[Forgewolf 70]

oohhh just smokin weed in the apocalypse man peace man yeah all da man is cool

Best kind of smoking to have during a zombie apocalpse.

[m.w. vindicator 880]

why couldn't they just be cosmetic?

There is an another Arma 2 mod that added cigarettes.

Check it!

Bingo! Looks great. :thumbsup:

Rocket, make it so! :lol:

[Michaelvoodoo25 3120]

Smoking is also a proven Appetite suppresant, It kills you sooner or later.

But it is a disgusting habit anyway, no need to introduce a useless ability to a game because it makes you look good, me blowing smoke up your characters arse after a smoking bullet would look good, but that has no benefit either!!

[kingkrabbe.#bof 35]

Cigarettes as cosmetic items? Why not? Some people play with braveheart blue faces, I don't care as long as development isn't focused on cosmetics like that.

But as a more or less useful item? Nah! Why bother for something like cigarettes?

You could even program something like that.

Pros

+ increases humanity because other survivors may laugh about it

+ blowing increases your stamina

+ you can look cool/ridiculous aswell without risk of lung cancer

Cons

- sound attracts zombies and other survivors - day or night time

- you may tend to loot less because you spend too much time blowing this ... thing

[Socom_M1911 4]

Yep, too hard to implement and an useless feature in general. And to add: Smoking doesn't make you look tougher or awesome, like you pointed. More likely shows how weak and unfit you are.

so my friend, whos in the army, can run a 6+ mile march with 80 pounds of ruck but since he also smokes does that make him unfit? no

[sixfeetgiantbunnyrabbit 40]

Not a game changing idea but as long as it is just a cosmetic addition i see no harm in adding them. If you're desperate to look badass you just have to live with the downside of being spotted easier in the dark and with looting them in first place.

I'd love to see a lot more useless things to be added to the loot menu just for the fun of it, for cosmetic reasons or really for no reason at all. Who would ever need those golden chinese welcoming cats but nonetheless the world is full of them...

[mr_chabowski@live.co.uk 2416]

More items with status changing effects need to be implemented, ever snipe on Metal Gear Solid? Gets a lot easier when you look cool.

If it was a balanced addition, and not necessary to gameplay, then why shouldn't smoking be added?

For example, Smoking a cigarette might ease pain and stop hunger being depleted for 10 minutes in game, to stop "shakes" and halt starvation. But at the cost of stamina (when implemented) and hydration.

If nobody HAS to use the feature, nobody HAS to bitch about it being included. It's a Sandbox, minimum rules, maximum options.

[klesh 2423]

As a real-life smoker, I know for a fact I would be raiding the local shop for a couple of cartons worth before heading out into the woods to survive the zedpocalypse.

[lemmiwinks (DayZ) 48]

i'd prefer to find chocolate bars...

[asin (DayZ) 6]

Sure. Allow the cigarettes. They give out your location for snipers and on the reverse, fool them. But other than that, unless windage becomes a factor, cigarettes won't have much utility ingame aside from aesthetics.

[Rikarue 2011]

Sure i'm up for this to be implemented.

The thoughts of using cigs as a currency, as a signal of being friendly, or even as someone said, putting one in someone's mouth before they die as a show of respect make me think this would be a good idea.

Also, I think this would be a good thing to perhaps fool thermal sights using the smoke from it?

[TheFournace 12]

I agree with the principle behind it, like using some item to come across friendly and maybe as a type of currency, but I don't know if any game is going to toss in cigarettes in today's society. As a game that has a large number of youth playing it, I just don't see Rocket and the devs tossing in something like that. Maybe they will, and I'm not against cigarettes, but I just wanted to say I love the idea ... whether in the stand alone its cigarettes or some other item which can be used like that.

[mr_chabowski@live.co.uk 2416]

Smoking IRL stops hunger pangs,

Lowers blood pressure (makes you feel less cold when it's cold out)

Calms you down (if you're a smoker)

Eases pain (I mean injury, but probably emotional too)

So along with the friendly banter, and currency options. There are measurable physical effects.

Anyone who doesn't smoke has no right to complain at this topic.

It's a hypothetical situation in a fictional environment. And without experience you have no reference for any of these facts being wrong, only your opinion.

They give out your location for snipers

How does that work? If you can't even see a chemlight at 100m how could you possibly see the head of a cigarette?

Maybe if you're in the same room as the sniper and you ask him for a light. Or your Rizla rips the skin off your lip "OW YA BASTARD!!"

I'd rather be able to roll up a joint and smoke that instead.. Get epically fun trips.. but then NOT become physically addicted to the substance. It would treat the shakiness and the temperature problem. It would have no drawl backs to it. Plus it'd just make your character more of a bad ass.

You trip off weed :s 13 years of smoking the finest and i am yet to "trip".

I suggest you contact your local supplier and have words about what he puts in that shit :P
