OldHorse 10 Posted December 4, 2013 (edited) I hope a question about SA is O.K here. I have seen a lot of vids and discussion about the use of player restraints. I'm obviously missing something. I don't understand anyone submitting to being restrained. What a crappy way to spend time in a game. Bondage? I don't think so. What purpose could this serve? Seems a little twisted to me. I think I'd rather shoot it out and risk loosing my gear. What am I missing?? Edited December 4, 2013 by OldHorse 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
badluckburt 974 Posted December 4, 2013 What am I missing?? A whole lot of fun :) I've been shot at and killed for no reason. But I've never been kidnapped and would welcome the change very much. There's always a chance to survive as long as you're alive plus it gives the hero-type players someone to save :P It also gives non-violent players a chance to knock someone out, restrain them and retreat to safety. Have you seen TWD episode where Rick runs into his old friend from the first season? He restrains him so he can try to reason with him. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Korsbaek 1778 Posted December 4, 2013 Have you seen TWD episode where Rick runs into his old friend from the first season? He restrains him so he can try to reason with him. And then Morgan stabs him with a knife. I want this in DayZ too :D 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
enforcer1975 1111 Posted December 4, 2013 Didn't he shoot a full magazine at him first?? :lol: Well with handcuffs the ones who need reasoning/a therapy are those who want to (mis)use them in the SA... ( like cuff and log out to troll players but hopefully like every other player spawned item like a fireplace the cuffs will disappear on logout ) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Max Planck 7174 Posted December 4, 2013 (edited) It's possible to squirm out of the handcuffs, so captives need to be watched at all times.If your captor logs out or runs away, you can break out of them without a problem.

Xucphra 453 Posted December 4, 2013 (edited) It's possible to squirm out of the handcuffs, so captives need to be watched at all times.If your captor logs out or runs away, you can break out of them without a problem. They could still break your legs. If you're opposed to being restrained, just don't let it happen to you. I doubt you'll be forced to sit still and deal with it for more than a brief period of time. I'm sure you can resist to the point where you'll either escape or get killed anyway. Edited December 4, 2013 by Xucphra Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bludy 324 Posted December 4, 2013 like irl you can always choose to be taken or die i guess, with some non lethal weapon added they could be worthy. anyway i'd prefere to get cuffed than left bleeding with broken bones in petrovka. and if you didn't get shot first you can hope to live and be released. roleplay a bit come on!

rossums 2190 Posted December 4, 2013 OP sounds like the sort of person that will log to prevent being handcuffed.He's going to be that guy. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
philbottle 430 Posted December 4, 2013 Old Horse, you're new to DayZ I think, no? For many people the Mod is about imagination as much as anything else. As has been suggested I would think having handcuffs (that you can eventually escape from) is a great aid. Think of the possibilities. One thing that led me to DayZ in the first place was a video of a guy being held up and then kidnapped in a bus. Blew my mind I kid you not. That's what make DayZ Dayz rather than just another excuse for a shooter :) 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
OldHorse 10 Posted December 4, 2013 Thx for the reply's but nothing has been said so far that would convince me to submit to being restrained. I guess it will be death before capture for me. And for you guys that think being handcuffed is fun...I think there is a word for that :) 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

And for you guys that think being handcuffed is fun...I think there is a word for that :) Guess it's not for everyone. Can I ask if you would kidnap someone else in the game? :) Also, if I had the feeling that it might turn into an annoying ride, I will follow suit and get myself killed. However, if someone's actually roleplaying their character I'll happily follow along. I know those occasions will be rare but when it happens it'll be totally worth it.

I've seen a few videos of this type of playstyle and all I could see was a lot of foul language and yelling and people trying to control other people. This is a game? Suppossed to be fun? I guess I did understand...it's just not for me! I hope I'm never that bored. But you guys have fun. I'll be the guy running away when the handcuffs and whips come out :) 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
badluckburt 974 Posted December 4, 2013 Thanks, I see what you're saying and do partly agree. If people started cussing me out and did other immature things, I wouldn't be alive very long as a hostage. I'm also not the kidnapping type but I might handcuff someone that I've knocked out, wait till they recover and strike up an interrogation to see what kind of people they are and if I should let them go :P 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
