An update for player interaction

Recommended Posts

Anyone who's played DayZ will know that, one of the things so unique about it is the player interaction. This is one special thing DayZ has that not a lot of games do.

 

Here's something I've thought about for a while: More options in player interaction.

 

As in, What if you could sneak up behind someone and take them hostage? Or maybe, what if you could move around a lot more while handcuffed, and be able to melee? After all, there's nothing holding you back from doing this in real life if you wanted. This would promote the usage of burlap sacks. Or, what if you could drag someone around while there hands are bound, or while they're unconscious?

 

It's things like these that could make the s/a VERY cool, and the devs should consider. I know some of this is already in the mod, like dragging people around.

 

Do you have any ideas? Or, do you think they should keep the interaction between players simple?

Dragging: Yes

Moving while handcuffed: Yes (I want to try escape!)

Melee while handcuffed: No, but headbutt would work :)

Headbutting makes sense. I suppose that you would have your hands constrained behind you back. Scrap that idea I guess. Another idea I have for when vehicles are added, that you could stuff people in the trunk and transport them XD

What I would really like is other people's ideas. Things like this has SO much potential for creating memories.

I got new idea. I want to take hostages on my boat, then drop them in sea or to take them on my plane and drop them done from the back or from the side. Edited by Aamunkajo

oh heres an idea... how about when you sneak up behind someone you have to hit em with a melee weapon or shoot em with a gun, you know, kinda like ya have to do now, and face the consequences if you fail. stop making suggestions that encourage me to want to kill you as soon as I see you.

If you're good, you won't LET someone sneak up to you

Put people in trunk of car when that becomes an option. Some old-fashioned Godfather stuff, you know? 

 

Hand shakes too. But firm handshakes, not dead fish. Also high fives. Me and my friends will develop a secret handshake using all of the animations!

Yeah, like "_PLAYERNAME_ puts a gun to the side of your head" would actually be really cool. Gears of war style would be even cooler where you can walk around with them like that.

Things like that would make for awesome strategies for taking a group down.

Do you know how ridiculously easy it is to hear someone?  ;) And of course, to balance it out, they'd add somethng like struggling, to where you couldn't the person for long

I guess im kinda taking the idea from most zombie movies, but think about it. If you killed someone, (Without a headshot) you would really only have like 3 minutes to loot them before dead guy stuff started happening. It would be a cool aspect to the game, in my opinion.

well after 508 hours I damn well better know - trust me it aint that easy unless you've got your volume cranked to the max, struggling is already in game and I kid you not if they implement anything close to "sneak up and take hostage" I will gun down every sumbitch I see. your idea will very much increase suspicion and by extension KoS, which for some reason everyone thinks is horrible already. so you go ahead and push your idea all you want but don't go cryin when you get caught tryin and I kill your dumb ass.

Although I see your point on how it would make people more paranoid, if they did add something like that, they'd probably figurea  way to balance it, as in maybe making it take a second to grab someone, so they havea  chance to escape, or making it to where you can only do it from behind. I don't imagine people would be stupid enough to try and run up behind you and grab you while you have a gun out.

well I've had a change of heart, since you will continue to push this, I'm gonna skip the paranoia and just jump right to KoS, in fact I think I'll start tonight and I will make sure they all know who to thank for their abruptly ended lives. now don't get me wrong, I'll also make sure to tell em who pulled the trigger, we can just call it a psychotic rampage of disagreement, yeah I like that. congrats you've just made your first KoSer.

Agreed with most suggestions, as I want to throw people in the ocean.

damn I was so caught in my passion that I forgot to mention that I don't have any problems with tossin someone in the trunk or draggin em around after they have been legitimately subdued. picking up wounded people or dead bodies is not out of the question either as they both have merits for different reasons. so 2 outta 3 aint bad... or something like that.
