armstrong883 30 Posted March 6, 2014 i think dayz needs fastroping down from buildings/ cliffsides and also ability to climb in throu windows, that would add a world of possible awsome stuff later on 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
novogeek 253 Posted March 6, 2014 There is a difference between fast roping and abseiling (rappelling). Quote Fast-roping, also known as Fast Rope Insertion Extraction System (FRIES), is a technique for descending a thick rope. It is useful for deploying troops from a helicopter in places where the helicopter itself cannot touch down. Fast roping allows soldiers to respond to crises as a quick reaction force, conduct missions requiring stealth and board vessels while at sea. First developed by the British with UK rope manufacturer Marlow Ropes, its first combat use was during the Falklands War. The original rope was a thick nylon that could be used in a manner akin to a firepole. The special ropes used today are braided (plaited), which results in pattern on the outer circumference that is not smooth and so is easier to grip. Originally, each person would hold the rope for the next person; however this has been phased out. It is quicker than abseiling (rappelling), although more dangerous, particularly if the person is carrying a heavy load, because the rope is not attached to them with a descender. The person holds onto the rope with his gloved hands and feet and slides down it. Several people can slide down the same rope simultaneously, provided that there is a gap of approximately 3 metres (9.8 ft) between them, so that each one has time to get out of the way when they reach the ground. It is most typically used when deploying from a helicopter without a heavy load and is intended to happen rapidly. Quote Abseiling, also called rappelling, is the controlled descent down a rock face using a rope. Climbers use this technique when a cliff or slope is too steep and/or dangerous to descend without protection. Rope access technicians also use this as a method to access difficult-to-reach areas from above for various industrial applications like maintenance, construction, inspection and welding. Rescue teams are also known for using this method as a way to access injured or stranded victims. This is typically used when going down a surface at a consistent speed or with a heavy load. It would be cool to have both ... if they include helicopters in the game ... but definitely abseiling for buildings. 8-} 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
liquidcactus 719 Posted March 6, 2014 Indeed, windows need to be able to be climbed through so that when we can eventually "fortify buildings" with wood planks on the windows actually serves a purpose other than people/zombies not being able to see in. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Imagine if these factors were in game now, people would make of sport of getting someone to try and do it without dying randomly.
