Dalton (DayZ) 5 Posted June 19, 2012 I think it would be a nice effect at night if the lighthouses lit up casting light out into the landscape. Lighthouses mark dangerous coastlines provide light at night and would be an eerie effect with light spinning around slowly. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Dalton (DayZ) 5 Posted June 19, 2012 Gas wood and some matches, Old school lighthouse... Lighthouses have been around since the late 1700's Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Malleovic 3 Posted June 19, 2012 Most definitely a good idea, especially if players can turn the light on or off, increase the speed, change the direction, etc. An inventive way to communicate! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dalton (DayZ) 5 Posted June 19, 2012 Thanks... I agree with the ability to turn the light on and off and mess with the speed and the direction would be awesome. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bad_mojo (DayZ) 1204 Posted June 19, 2012 Just throw a player controlled spot light up there. I like it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dalton (DayZ) 5 Posted June 19, 2012 It could really open up some new ways of play, and some interesting scenarios could take place Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
fackstah 31 Posted June 19, 2012 1716 – The first lighthouse on the North American continent was built and lit in Boston, Massachusetts, on Friday, September 14th, 1716. Today, Boston Lighthouse is the only lighthouse manned by a lighthouse keeper. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TonyStarks 2 Posted June 19, 2012 Never thought about it. Great idea. Would add alot of atmosphere at night. Lighthouses would probably become gathering points at the night due to this though. Some prankster with good gear could show up and just shoot like 15 people at once. But that's just speculation. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Dalton (DayZ) 5 Posted June 19, 2012 It would be interesting to see how much more player interaction would come from working lighthouses Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GraphX 1 Posted June 19, 2012 im up for this idea.don't add to much interactivity tho. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DemonGroover 8836 Posted June 19, 2012 Be cool if you could light a fire up there Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Scerun 227 Posted June 19, 2012 I was thinking of this last night. It would be very cool. efinitely add to the atmossphere of the game, I reckon Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Dalton (DayZ) 5 Posted June 20, 2012 Maybe even add some good potential loot opportunities Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
edonovan 15 Posted June 20, 2012 now that you start with a super-powerful flashlight...might get dizzy, though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dalton (DayZ) 5 Posted June 20, 2012 Lighthouse would add to atmosphere like others have said Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Twitch256 0 Posted June 20, 2012 Great idea. Like someone earlier stated, no power, no light, but there are some old gas/wood light houses. This could and new gaming aspects, such as setting traps for survivors, or signaling other survivors/bandits. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dalton (DayZ) 5 Posted June 20, 2012 Signaling other survivors would be a clever way to help others out or even a way to bait some people in. Both sound like good times. Also wood could be the fuel for the signal fire or even some way to use a flare to light the lighthouse maybe even a battery powered light, Lots of possibilities.

SystemiK 366 Posted June 24, 2012 Actually, the mechanics of electricity already exist in arma 2. At some point in the future they are planning to use those mechanics in some way intrinsic to gameplay. As it stands they only need to enable this in a patch and then we just add some gas to a generator and....hello lights. Of course someone else is bound to come along and break things...PC GAMER: Yeah, I heard word of you guys working on a power grid or electricity mechanic…Hall: Yeah, because all of these models are actually already in-game, and a lot of the mechanics, but they need a lot of refining. The generator thing’s easy, you just fill it up and it runs a thing and then you can connect lights to it, it’s pretty straightforward.http://www.pcgamer.com/2012/06/22/day-z-arma-3-interview-on-left-4-dead-skyrim-player-emotion-and-in-game-disease/ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
