Konna 149 Posted January 10, 2014 (edited) So as 1st person only servers are implemented, why not add the ability to break mirrors and have the ability to take a fragment, then use it to peek around corners in safety.I probably wouldn't use it myself, since the Q & E peeks are safe enough for myself, but some people would surely use them for the added safety in firefight situations etc. (AKA, only putting out your hand, instead of your head.) Could also be used as "sunlight signals" (If that is the correct word what i'm looking for.) Edited January 10, 2014 by Konna Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
acekaze 9 Posted January 10, 2014 I personally do like the idea of mirrors ingame, getting inside a house, then seing something move scaring us to shit then making us realize its just a mirror its cool, but using fragments of it to peek sounds like to much effort to put into mirror when there are better things to be developped Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
preacherlr 614 Posted January 10, 2014 Someone else suggested this the day 1PP servers came out, Except theirs was a lot more elaborate, Utilizing tape and sticks. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Konna 149 Posted January 10, 2014 Someone else suggested this the day 1PP servers came out, Except theirs was a lot more elaborate, Utilizing tape and sticks. Right, made a forumsearch for Mirror/Mirrors and didn't find any results, so pardon me, thought this was not suggested yet. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
doublebrain 255 Posted January 10, 2014 Having working mirrors in a videogame is a performance killer if the engine is not designed for it. If you pay some attention when playing for example FPS you rarely see a working mirror. Even in modern games they often decide to go without working mirrors because of that. Now I have to admit that I dont know if there were working mirrors in ArmA II already, but if not I doubt that they will be in DayZ., Idea is good, feasibility.. maybe not.

P8f4El 1 Posted January 14, 2014 (edited) I was just to propose this myself, luckily i found this thread. To elaborate a bit on the idea which Konna already started, having mirrors reflect lightwould allow people being peeked at to easily spot them if the person using them is facing the sun or has a torch being pointed in their direction. An "easy" way to do the mirror thing without making a mirror would be to move the camera. Edited January 14, 2014 by P8f4El Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
blackberrygoo 1416 Posted January 14, 2014 Someone else suggested this the day 1PP servers came out, Except theirs was a lot more elaborate, Utilizing tape and sticks.I'm sure he was trying to be helpful but I do hate useless posts like this one ... Too many forums topics the search bar doesn't always find lawl.... Anyways I would love mirrors for this purpose but mostly so if you raid a house a mirror that's already there could give away the position of somebody hiding around a corner If they forgot to break it ? Kind of the same idea but it uses mirrors in a way tht you wouldn't even have to touch them Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
