Trading System or give players items directly

[Sonic-NKT 38]

Hey,

i gues its only a temporary thing but at the moment the only way to trade is dropping stuff. 

But atm not always does that stuff appear right away, sometimes it takes minutes, sometimes i wont appear again at all, This is really annoying...

 

My guess is its a server problem that may be get sorted out in the future, but the possibility to take things in your hand to give them a player directly would be a nice addition.

i dont think a whole trading system is necessary (with left and right side, players add their stuff, both have to accept) , but what do you think?

Yap having the option to give an item in your hands sounds cool and probably they will implement it.

Yes, the way I imagine it, is having an item in your hands, and having an action menu option to offer an item to a player, then the player has the item in their "vicinity" or can also use action menu to take item, as normally.

 

I can also see this having funny results.

 

"ok lemme give you this gun... "

 

*POP POP*

 

"whoopsie!"

Not sure what exactly Rocket has said on this, but I seem to remember he wants you to be able to shoot the other guy in the face at any time. A giving animaton would be kinda cool though, no fancy and silly trading inventory screens please though.

we use taloons,pants,hoodies on the ground to trade.

there is no lagg when you switch stuff over this loot.

Putting the item in your hand, and pushing the 'trade' button could have the item ( in hand ) appear in the other persons 'Vicinity'

Not that I'm a bandit, but I would say there should also be the option while trading to simply take the stuff and exit the trade screen.  For instance, you go to trade with someone and you put your item in first and the other person simply claims it and then tries to book it into the woods.  People will sometimes try to lie, cheat, and steal when desperate but might not necessarily wish the engage in violent acts.  I'd say it would be a nice touch, even though it would likely cause much grief.  But it would give those "badasses" another way to have their fun without having to necessarily shoot on sight which can only be a boon for the game.

It's useless to suggest things that are already confirmed by Dean and on the Development Road Map.

Unfortunately not all of us have the werewithal to look for every quote Dean has ever made, nor the time.  I agree it can seem redundant, but that doesn't lessen the quality of the OP's idea.  Maybe rather than saying how "useless" this all was, politely provide a link to where Dean talked about implementing trading so everyone else could all be in the know?  Thanks.
