[Suggestion] Squad, group or gang member identification

[Tourdion 11]

One of the biggest problems of Dayz is knowing who is who in a given situation, so I propose a system that can help to keep track of your squad members without being immersion breaking like for example nametags.

 

The system itself is pretty simple; you only need a backpack or raincoat and a marker or a spray paint can. A custom image can be imported into the game and crafted into a template that can be traded (so you can provide the same ID to your friends, for example) and applied to that piece of gear. 

 

Only small images can be used, and only black and white.

 

This system can be used for the creation of different gangs, organizations or even factions, allowing players to recognize fellow members and providing some incentive to group and cooperate.

 

Here a rough example:

Good idea, like a clan tag or clan emblem!

But I was also thinking of an armband sort of thing. Clan leader can hand them out so you know its the real thing and not faked.

Because I don't run forward backwards (if you know what I mean).

It needs to be something you need to be able to see up front. Maybe a chest logo or a CLAN jacket like in the 50's :P

 

Now you have to be on TS and ask where everyone is and what he looks like before you getted capped by accident.

Hey there,

 

I really like the idea, but it has been suggested multiple times already and is something that will actually come and is confirmed. It's just hard to implement it at the moment:
