Phantom/Vyndorn

I think the larger cities like Cherno, Berizeno, Electro, Zelenigrosk, (I'm sure I miss spelled those, but doesn't matter) should have civil defense sirens go off for short periods of times. This would add more characteristic and in-depth environments for a zombie apocalypse. It would act much like the bells do in the towers. A civil defense siren sounds like this:

How did this turn into a fire lightbulb rainbow post? The sirens are meant for more indepth feeling to the game. They fit perfectly along side of a horror Apocalypse theme

I noticed DayZ has tons of rail road tracks, but no trains... So I was wondering if people would like the idea of a handcar. A handcar is a car miners / construction workers use to use before electricity to manually push themselves down the tracks. The cars are usually 1-4 person operated. I was thinking the hand car for DayZ would be 1 person operated (driver) with the ability to hold 1 passenger. Since these cars generally helped move things, I think the storage space should be 25-50.

The handcar, since it is obviously limited to mobility since it is on tracks, would be somewhat hard to conceal for private use. I was thinking perhaps you would have a option to dis-assemble it and keep it in your bags so you could keep it in a tent or something of the various nature. Then when you wanted to put it back on the tracks, just flop it down and build it using the various tool/mechanical parts.

I was also thinking perhaps people could trigger them by entering certain zones? I'm not sure how you'd do it, but perhaps during airfield raids on hangers or barracks.

no

blood trail YES. love the idea

I agree. They should be a rarity. I was kinda thinking at airfields.

Disagree. I find them extremely easy. The rarity of certain items makes the game fun.

I like the idea. Most hand cars actually require people two operate.

Still not so sure about the train, hand car seems more DayZ.

Well I wasn't thinking so much of a train, just a little vehicle for the tracks for fun. However, a plane would be a interesting concept. However, with helicopter, a old fashion plain wouldn't really work.

Great clan!
