deathdragon1987 (DayZ) 0 Posted June 25, 2012 I think it would be amazing if certain items degraded over time, adding another dimension to realism. Here are a few examples:• Knifes / Hatchets becoming blunt after x number of uses.o Solution: Take item to a smithing stand and use a grinding wheel to sharpen. Or find another one.• Running out of matches after x number of uses.• Torches / weapon torches / NVGs / watches / run out of batteries after a certain amount of usage.o Solution: Implement batteries into the game, then players have to find them.• Weapons degrade over time, leading to issues such as jamming or a piece breaking (firing pin etc.).o Solution: Maybe the condition of the weapon could be displayed, similar to the status of vehicles. You would have to visit a gun cleaning / repairing stand.I believe Rocket wants to make more buildings accessible in the future so maybe these ideas could be put to good use.If you like the idea, want to add one or think I’m an idiot please let me know! Sorry if this has been previously discussed :) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sucaru 0 Posted June 25, 2012 I would like this only if there were ways of repairing them. It was the major problem I had with Far Cry 2, actually. also, buildings should degrade somewhat as well :3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SystemiK 366 Posted June 25, 2012 also' date=' buildings should degrade somewhat as well :3[/quote']The longest life anyone has had so far in the game is something like 260 hours. How much do you think a building would degrade in 10 days? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Srgntcuddles 0 Posted June 26, 2012 I like the thought of your gear having durability. Weapons jamming, backpacks getting holes, flashlights needing batteries, etc. I was going to suggest the idea. A way to repair them would be nice. Maybe dismantle other weapons for parts for your guns, or it would give you more incentive to have duplicates of your favorite guns. Would keep those all geared up players scavenging to replace their worn weapons. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
