Hostage stuff

Could there ever be hostage taking in dayz like bartering with people for people. Of course the idea would need tweaking but it would be cool to have.

Could be cool like you can take soldiers/players hostage if your a bandit they would give you items to get you to release the hostage

Hmm, two noobie accounts created within minuets of each other...seams suspicious. Honestly you can take people hostage now, so other than maybe adding in handcuffs or rope there's no real need to add this.

Err it happens right now? Sure radios in the game will be interesting, will help do it in a more in game dynamic fashion but hostage taking/kidnap happens.

I guess handcuffs would be cool.. perhaps if the cuffed hostage escapes maybe a person with bolt cutters could separate the cuffs atleast

I don't understand what the suggestion is... You can already take a hostage if you want, just pull a gun on somebody and tell them to come with you.

I guess what I really mean is handcuffs. In my time of playing Dayz (which is over 100 hours contrary to how I just created this account yesterday) I have been held up once. Ive never really seen people use this as a stradegy which I would have liked to see. I first got this little idea when I saw they added razors in the game. I was thinking they could be used to cut rope but there is no rope or use of rope in the game.

love holding people up. In real life people may be easily taken hostage. In a video game most will go down shooting. I can see the mlp role players easily being taken hostage but it seems many people forget that Days is a video game. I can see all kinds of balancing issues with someone handcuffing all the new a spawns. Could be fun.

You could like totes take a guy hostage from a clan's base or somethin, leave the radio there with a repeated message that says they are holding him for ransom, in return they give em a sort of service like fixing a vehicle or getting antibiotics for em

Or you could just hide the radio somewhere in the base and play 80's music constantly.

I think a gun at the back of someones head is a lot more effective then rope...

Adding handcuffs won't change much at all, it will always be easier to just shoot someone or perhaps knock them unconscious.
