New item: Blindfold. Does what you think it does.

[Techercizer 82]

I'd like to see a blindfold added into Day Z, or more likely, the option to make a blindfold out of bandages or armbands or what have you. Put it on, and your character can't see crap. Maybe we could even see when someone has a blindfold on.

Blindfolds could allow for players to abduct abduct other players at gunpoint to secret camps, but in all honesty, I'm skeptical that such a mechanic would really work out. More importantly, blindfolds will allow for your character to move through the world without being able to see anything.

haha, you get a +5 purely because I want to see it in youtube videos.

Awesome idea sir!

Could be implemented in the binoc slot

Hadn't thought about it using the binocular slot, but I like it. Do NVGs have their own slot? If so, I'd like to see these occupy that position. Press N to turn on No Vision Goggles =P

This makes absolutely no feasible sense as to why you would want this a bandit is just gonna shoot the person rather than make them walk blindly through the woods.

So bandits won't use them. I'm not implementing them for bandits, if you read my OP.

[7-75 callaghan 43]

Hell yeah, i'd use it, lead them into the woods, and then apply my suggested reproduction mechanic ;-)

[Kane (DayZ) 0]

Yep good idea but I'd also like to see "rope" and "tranq darts" so you can knock people out from afar, tie them up with the rope and haul them into the back of a vehicle.

Just imagine being that tied up guy having no idea what they are going to do to you/where you are going.

Would make so many memorable moments.

[Techercizer 82]

I'd like to point out to you guys that I'm suggesting a blindfold as something you can equip, not something you use on others, in the OP. Not that using a blindfold on others couldn't also be implemented (and you can always force someone to put one on at gunpoint), but it's not the core focus of this suggestion.

[thales2010@live.com.au 6]

As a bandit id like to see this implemented so that we could blindfold those that we attack make it so that the blindfold stops that person from aborting and alt f4ing by making there character persist while wearing this. This way we wont be forced to shoot you to get your stuff as we wouldnt have to worry about you d/cing. This would add so much depth to this game and as a previous post said add the rope and tranq darts too. We are bandits not griefers and i'd like some of you to remember that. +1 to this idea

[BloodPhoenix 0]

I like the idea of using them on others, but as the OP pointed out, that's not what he meant.

In response to this, I ask, why in hell would you EVER want to put on a blindfold and stumble around in the zombie apocalypse completely blind? And if there's some demented reason one would want to do so, I can imagine they'd just close their eyes.

[Smails 1]

Stupid idea, nothing quicker to kill a game then forcing someone to not be able to play. It's already lose everything on death, start with nothing.. so now you abductions... and frankly, people will just log out..NEXT

[Dreganius (DayZ) 55]

We should all start with blindfolds permanently equipped. That'll stop a lot of the PvP and promote teamwork!

"MARCO!"

"POLO!"

[Bunster 7]

That would be cool lol play the game blind, also i dont think trying to blindfold someone will work with all the pvp its not RP enough

Abducting players to some location and then what? There is no prison or containment centre available, players would just walk away and you'd shoot them as you could have before the whole abduction thing.

On the right hand of your screen there is a button that does exactly that. Have fun playing any game.

That turns off my HUD and menus, and prevents me from alt-tabbing or shift-tabbing while playing.

So you want to have the experience of seeing nothing but still see something like the HUD and inventory? I don't understand what the blindfold should be useful or necessary for? This whole bilndfold suggestion is confusing - what is the purpose?

[Techercizer 82]

The purpose is exactly what it sounds like it is. It's to make you unable to see anything. It's a blindfold; that's what blindfolds do. Your HUD and Inventory represent your awareness of your own body and the contents of your pockets/pack. I'm not looking to run around with no idea how hungry I am or whether I'm bleeding to death, I'd just like the ability to not see anything.

I'd just have my character close his eyes, but there's no option to do so in the game. I'm not asking to see one immediately, but at some point in the game I'd like to see a blindfold implemented in some form.

[_Profile_Shame 37]

all for any sort of "handcuff" feature that would work hand in hand with this idea

Reading through this thread, I am thoroughly confused as to why anyone would want to stumble through the world "blind", especially as a zombie simulator. I wouldn't think this to be ever implemented simply because it's never going to catch on and will simply die out with the other thousand other suggestions.

[clever 12]

Kinky.

[SystemiK 366]

Erm.....couldnt you just pull your ballcap down over your eyes and be done with it?

Believe me, if I could, I would.

[Saul Weinstein 0]

This is a ridiculous idea. If I was ever "blindfolded" by another player, I'd just force a respawn and so would 99.99% of other players. This is sillyness.

I just noticed that 3 pages have been used to discuss this insane idea. Wow.

You lost me, I cannot fathom how having your character not see anything is a good idea. Just look at everyone whining about how its too dark at night. Now characters should be blindfolded?

Not yours, if you don't want it to be. I'm not asking for people to spawn without eyeballs, I'm asking for an item people can make or find. "Players can blindfold themselves" does not in any way equal "Players should be blindfolded".
