lauri7x3 100 Posted December 30, 2013 (edited) i have an idea about how to trade fast and maybe also safe. i am rid of dropping everything so others can take it. also u cant enter backpacks no more (yet). how about u press a key like F5 to do an animation to stretch out hands like this Reveal hidden contents those hands show up in your vincinity like a bagpack on the ground. it maybe got 10 slots or like that. if u drag items in there the server does not have to render the real object on the ground which causes lags and lost items.max. 2 ppl can do this trade at once. and if u like a safe trade to could offer items in your open hands for any goods in your opponents hand and u both have to accept the trade first. (like you pull back your hands).with items in your hands still in the animation u cant run and u cant hold or shoot weapons.like that. Reveal hidden contents u must first put them in ur inventory to go on. what do you think? i think its good because it doesnt strain the server and its much faster,easier, and safer, then simply dropping. but u could still drop items nevertheless ps. sry i dindnt find better pics lol Edited December 30, 2013 by Lauri7x3 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Aussie Bogan 350 Posted December 30, 2013 (edited) Good idea this may limit KOS a bit if friendly are trading... Although unfortunately as we all know bandits seem to trade in lead. ;) Edited December 30, 2013 by Aussie Bogan 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

lauri7x3 100 Posted December 30, 2013 your hands got some slots. my idea was that at min one weapon could fit in there as well. its suppose to work with every item of course Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bakercompany86 347 Posted December 30, 2013 I want to say I saw a video with this exact type of animation and a "give" function where you get to present an item to a player (as opposed to dropping it on the ground) and they can take it straight from your hands. I don't know about the whole "agree to trade" thing. Breaks immersion, is to MMOish, and honestly if you present something to another player and they take it and run...well that's just part of the realistic nature of the game. They could always have just shot you in the face and took everything. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
twingunz 308 Posted December 30, 2013 (edited) yeah i like this a lot i agree with bakercompany86 there should be no agree just if your present an item it's free to the world till you cancel the animation also adds another layer of the whole trusting other players dynamic!Edit: the hands pictures made this post lol Edited December 30, 2013 by twingunz Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mazzar 231 Posted December 30, 2013 Mod should sticky this or something, atleast aspects of this idea should seem great to rocket. minimal damage to the server and more fluid gameplay. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Terpy (DayZ) 21 Posted December 30, 2013 I like the idea, if I'm playing with a friend, but I'd never do that with a stranger. It does also give the devs an alternative to the trading via taking stuff out of other players backpacks... illiminating pick pockets. But dropping it on the ground gives you the chance to give someone something and back away to a safe distance. Imagine handing a new spawn a water bottle or something and he punches you in the face while you're stuck in the animation. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Spidey (DayZ) 78 Posted December 31, 2013 uhm... Altough the idea seems pretty awesome, and it wouldn't harm anyone if implemented, but.. would anyone actually use it? I woudln't. I would just rob people, and if they did as I told them I would even give them stuff in refund and let them go. But never, never, never ever would I trust someone in DayZ enough to put my weapon off.

lauri7x3 100 Posted December 31, 2013 i think a lot of ppl would use it because there are also teamplayer. no one will block u from robbing ppl. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
