Irish. 4886 Posted March 8, 2014 (edited) It would be nice to be able to set fire to combustible loot, like clothing, wood items, etc. It could make a thick black smoke signal fire.. good for signaling for help, etc. It would need to be a process, like collecting several sets of rags from shirts and several sticks. But the pay off could be something that can seen for great distances (see pic) and could be a huge addition to dayz. What do you think would make some great additions for communication purposes in dayz? Edited March 8, 2014 by lrish 6 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

blissfulkunt 196 Posted March 8, 2014 (edited) Haha I was playing on a night server and me and my buddy were putting gas lamps on the road and turning them on, for that exact purpose, too see who shows up =) Edit: and great idea!

I used to axe locked vehicles on Epoch to do the same thing on night servers.. ..people would come from km around to see what the noise and fire was.. only to find my rounds quickly exiting through their brain housing. ;) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Krawallkurt 118 Posted March 8, 2014 Nice idea!A few splints ,some rags and a jerrycan! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lumeria 27 Posted March 8, 2014 The idea is a good one but my concern is that people will gather loot and burn it just to annoy others and for no tactical purpose at all. Other then that I have no objections. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
wild_man 4442 Posted March 8, 2014 1 stick + 1 white tshirts or rag = white flag for wave from buildings window or door is say 'hey look I am not threat don't shoot on me is no gun in the hands' without expose for danger :o 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

UNDERWORLD 76 Posted March 8, 2014 1 stick + 1 white tshirts or rag = white flag for wave from buildings window or door is say 'hey look I am not threat don't shoot on me is no gun in the hands' without expose for danger :oThis is great. Maybe a couple of signals like to point etc. Being able to pour petrol in a circle around a players body, waiting until someone goes to loot and then lighting it to trap them in, all while chanting in a demonic fashion and dancing around the fire would really appeal to me. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

UNDERWORLD 76 Posted March 8, 2014 Well in day maybe the reflection of the petrol (You know, that sort of rainbow effect) could be sorta seen, at night though you'd be screwed unless there was a light source nearby. Imagine chucking a match/flare down or shooting a gas lamp to set it all off.Or just bring in flame thrower tanks. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sebidee 167 Posted March 8, 2014 What if they come with a large group and are better than you? :huh: The one who chooses the battlefield is more often the not the one who wins. If you attract bandits with the smoke and set up an ambush then it would be really easy to kill them. Also the dreaded "I have no idea where I am" when trying to find friends would be fixed. All you would have to do is start a fire. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
