azazel55000 7 Posted June 25, 2013 I see that the debate is about ...I do not understand why killing other players for free ... Assistance may be more productive ...white flag could encourage consolidation of players in clan Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

joe_mcentire 2074 Posted June 25, 2013 BUT HOWabout constraint objects!What if you only could "use" your flag if you have ie. no gun or no bullets in your inventory/hands. however you still could have melee weaponry. This would be then a bullet proof indicator that your opponent is at least no threat at long range. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

liquidcactus 719 Posted June 26, 2013 id be happy with even just a wave or something as well as a hanky surrender style dealio Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
enforcer1975 1111 Posted June 26, 2013 Nice idea but mics are 3 bucks or something. A fair headset for 40. Even with mics, I like the idea. Sometimes a way to ID intentions from a distance would be nice. Direct chat only goes so far.id be happy with even just a wave or something as well as a hanky surrender style dealio Ehm...lower your weapon??? :huh: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

sausagekingofchicago 4711 Posted June 26, 2013 Ehm...lower your weapon??? :huh:It would probably take less time to raise your gun than to drop the flag and then raise your gun. :) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
LordDante 30 Posted June 26, 2013 The idea would be nice, but only if it is linked to a separate button or so. Tampering with the invertory to get the flag, takes waaay too much time. Just press a button, your character winks it, and done, that would be the only way. At least thats what I think. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

But I still think that the outcome of most of the encounters is desided on how FAST you are able to signal that you are friendly. Otherwise the other player might hesitate and kill you. I had this a lot of times, that we stopped, I started typing, but did not have enough time to finish... But yeah, still a good idea on its own:) 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Feral (DayZ) 622 Posted June 26, 2013 I added to the OP the option to raise both your hands, this could be the reflex option you want. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
derdoe (DayZ) 16 Posted June 26, 2013 Well i like the idea totally, but why limit it to white flags only? :)Would be cool if you could find several different flags and could either carry them with you, attached to a stick or hang them onto flag poles :) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Feral (DayZ) 622 Posted June 26, 2013 but why limit it to white flags only? :)I chose white flags because the white flag is universally recognised as a symbol of surrender and non aggression, of course any flag would work just as well. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
pazur13 27 Posted June 26, 2013 Why would anyone need flag to say that he is friendly?From what I remember, they are goig to add surrender animation to SA. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Feral (DayZ) 622 Posted June 26, 2013 Why would anyone need flag to say that he is friendly?From what I remember, they are goig to add surrender animation to SA.well, you could use the flag to signal your intentions from behind cover, different situations call for different solutions.

derdoe (DayZ) 16 Posted June 27, 2013 There is also a difference between surrender and not being hostile.If you are surrendering you are taking a weaker position than the other person, if you show you are not hostile, you are not. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
