Mountainhigh (DayZ) 14 Posted March 7, 2013 i have a possible solution for the compressor problem: there is a chance to find air bottles. these bottles have a randomized capacity and there is a random amount of air in the bottles. you can also get rebreather systems (extremely rare) which uses smaller pure oxygen tanks and the air you breathe in and out. this makes it more realistic to dive for a long time, while still using a reasonable amount of tanks.btw, rebreather systems exist: http://en.wikipedia....wiki/RebreatherI like the ideas you have guys and up building criticism is never bad bean queen. ;)The rebreather is a verry good idea! You can also find a example picture one the links in the topic!(its a navy seal diving gear)I thought that the rebreather should be more military loot, so pritty rear from it self! (i know you have it also for civilians!)Compresors are also nice idea, but shouldt be a problem right?there are still gas/co2/oxy tanks around that still work on manual maganics(not sure im asking you guys)?

radivmoe 47 Posted March 7, 2013 At some point we are going to have to assess the main issue of DayZ, is that we have technologically advanced goods popping up from nowhere all the time: gas, bullets, rifles, cars, packaged food, etc etc...While i suppose we can portray a neverending "early outbreak", we should consider that all this ready to use equipment should be extremely rare and/or gone by now, because leeching over the remains of society is fine, but this isn't long term survival, a bag MRE should be seen as a rare delicacy, much better than eating grubs gathered from under a rock.Scuba bottles are the typical example of a modern "luxury" equipment, pumps to cram 250-300 bars of air into a diving cylinder are loud and/or require lots of energy.I'm not saying that we shouldn't have them, but that it should come at a serious cost. After the outbreak, energy production is a problem, especially to power equipments coming from an era such as ours, where energy cost very little and is used very inefficiently.Rebreathers :/ It's another example of a high tech system that is only possible in a society that can extract and bottle pure gasses, since rebreathers use pure oxygen and co2 scrubbers to refresh the exhaled air.Now i'm not against the ideas, but i think we should figure out more involved ideas of maintaining advanced techs "by hand" rather than adding constantly more and more 'lucky finds' .you definately know what you are talking about, beans to you my good sir. also the points you make are very similar to what i would probably have come up with if i actually had time to.

radivmoe 47 Posted March 7, 2013 i would prioritize freediving in game to be honest. don't need the extremely rare pressure bottles, i don't need a BCD, i don't need to worry about looking at my pressure gauge. and i think that in a place like Chernarus, residential diving equipment would be pretty much non-existent.

Lady Kyrah 1110 Posted March 7, 2013 You can dive without breathing equipment in Arma 3 alpha for a couple minutes before dying, that alone would make for some pretty cool "seafood hunting" in the game. Add to this flippers (not unreasonable to find these) to swim faster and masks/goggles to see clearly :) 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sutinen 635 Posted March 8, 2013 You know, atleast I wouldn't start diving in an apocalypse... Because it doesn't make any damn sense. But this is a suggestion so I'll just leave. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

-Guardian- 206 Posted March 10, 2013 Back on topic.I forgot to mention some thing.How cool would it be to lie down in a lake ore the new swamps and wait there to ambush some bandit/bambi'sYou can lay down in small ponds completely unnoticable. Ive actually accomplished an ambush this way once on Namalsk. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Stoned Orangutan 31 Posted March 11, 2013 TL,DR Yeah Diving would be cool. You can dive without scuba gear but you have limited time underwater before you start to drown 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
