gangrenetvp 74 Posted January 17, 2014 Why stop with pens writing on paper? You should be able to write them on anything. Add some rotten fruit to a canteen(to poison it)... write something on all of your canteens so you can tell them apart... All gear could have things written on them... might give all of the gear a little more "personality".I like the idea of poisoning some blood, water, and or food on me. So when they loot my corpse and make a wrong choice they may regret it. ;-)I could even label my items "1", "2", "3", etc... and if I know "2" is poisoned... I'll not drink that one. Maybe I'll even label some AB blood as O+... ;-)Basically, when you inspect any item and bring it up to full screen, there could be a message box below the item telling you what, if anything, is written on it... it could be useful in many ways.

TedZ 424 Posted January 17, 2014 Great suggestion, in real life you'd be able to mark things, which is pretty useful in survival, so it'd be a great idea, but we'd need a black market pen! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Shadow Slayer 13 Posted January 17, 2014 You can spray disinfectant spray on food to poison it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Beck (DayZ) 1768 Posted January 17, 2014 I heard they removed these features because people wrote racist comments all over the place on note pads. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Problematic 71 Posted January 17, 2014 Great idea but I could imagine this kind of thing being a bitch to implement. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
gangrenetvp 74 Posted January 18, 2014 It's not a bitch to implement... They already have the functions built with the paper and pen... simply add that function to every item... done. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bad_mojo (DayZ) 1204 Posted January 18, 2014 Would have to limit the characters so people don't write a story on a can of beans. Otherwise I like it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
