Trains

[Johny (DayZ) 3]

Trains, we all love them.

They should be able to work. Going around the map requiring different parts to go to certain locations.

You have to fix the train first though, refueling, fixing engine etc.

Wouldn't it feel epic to go around in a train!

Maybe you have to fix certain train tracks to get the train moving.

Suggestions are welcome

This isn't Twitter. This is a forum, where we type in sentences. Trains would get stolen really quick, anyway.

Would love trains! It would be cool if you could put on boxcars but that would also suck because you would be so vulnerable, but the worst part is that the tracks only go so far... And you can only have the train in certain places. You can't hide a train like you can any other vehicle.

It is possible to do, I just think it would be a waste of time as the map is (Yes I am being serious) too small for trains.

Well, i doubt they would ever be useful as other players would constantly snipe anyone that approaches them and/or destroy them.

Well, only satchel charges might do any significant damage to them. Not sure about sniping. it wouldn't be that easy as you can hide on the floor, or just in the cargo one.

Saying it would be constantly sniped is like saying "let's remove cars because they are constantly sniped" - it's not the case, traveling across the whole map on an autopilot with virtually no cargo space restrictions finds its niche for survivor groups and makes the map more interactive.

Also, about stealing. You can't drive a train off into wilderness like all these hoarding faggots do, because there are no rails there.
