tombo131 1 Posted December 31, 2013 So, I've played the standalone now for a few weeks yet never played the mod, so if something similar to this was already in place in the mod - my apologies. Since gear/char/location is stored on the steam cloud, what do you all think about the idea of being able to use the shovel to dig a loot hole? My idea was that you could dig a hole where gear could be buried that could be accessed even after dying and respawning. The location and content of the hole would be attached to your character data on the steam servers. My thought is that it would not contain enough inventory slots as to allow storing a primary weapon, but possibly a pistol? Maybe just a six slot storage? Along with this, while not visible, they could be looted by anyone if they would happen to notice the indicator pop up while walking over your hole. In this case would it need to be persistent to individual servers, and not carried via the cloud? If carried with your character on the cloud, maybe it could only be available and lootable while you're logged in? Also, with not being visible you'd have to remember the exact spot it was buried, I think this would add a cool element with the existing need for land navigation and map reading skills. Thoughts? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Owain1122 218 Posted December 31, 2013 I would want it to be visible to everyone. Seems pretty cheap to be visible to only the person who made it. DayZ is about making tough choices i.e. what do I carry and what do I get rid of. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

dusty_nuttles 130 Posted December 31, 2013 Its called a Stash and there were two varieties in the mod---medium and large. Hall said underground bases will come at the last leg of development. I'm sure there will be some storage before that time. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
tombo131 1 Posted December 31, 2013 Yeah I can definitely see it with visibility to all vs none. I just thought the idea of a tiny amount of storage past death could be fun, yet not game breaking. Espeically if it's truly visible to all, in that case, you're obviously going to have to place it well off the beaten path away from areas that have lots of players traveling through. By doing that, it's not likely that it'll be close to the spawn areas, thus not giving you immediate access after spawning. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

rossd001 1 Posted December 31, 2013 (edited) I think its a good idea.. Especially when you are travelling the length of the map it would be good to have some kit in a box half way or something... On only your character seeing it.. I think that is realistic... Im sure I can bury a box in a hole good enough so no one else would find it without a metal detector (Maybe have a metal detector as a really rare item so you can do just that) As for 6 slots... I dont see why you cant have more.. ???? However food would prob go off so maybe just canned food.... On the last point...I dont think you should carry it into your next life, thats a little bit too much of an advantage...
