Requesting this Bag Please.....

[Taiphoz 95]

 

I almost always carry two guns, one over my shoulder and one in my hands, one for range and one for close quarters, I like to be ready for anything, the annoying thing is that with this I cant climb ladders, cant do anything without having to drop my gun on the ground first which is so stupid.

 

Humans can throw way more than one gun over the same shoulder so its not really realistic to say yeah drop it on the ground, we can also carry a rifle with one hand and use the other hand for something else like holding a flashlight or whatever.

 

Some one mentioned that soon we will be able to hotswitch between a gun over shoulder and one in hand without dropping it on the floor, but what about between 1 in hand with a pistol, in that situation with the shoulder being used the game would drop the gun.

 

So Add this bag, or better yet let us put rifles in bags like we used to in the mod.

I do think we need some modular military bags. Yet, i don't see why we can't ditch our melee and replace it with a weapon.

Realistically, you can carry a ton of rifles strapped onto your back, but its going to be heavy.

 

DayZ needs a weight system for carrying things. Light loadouts allow quick, fast, and quiet movement, while heavy loadouts are slower and a lot louder. For example, you can have a big bacpack and a huge sniper rifle on your back, but its not going to help you run for a long time. Weight and stamina should be directly linked.

Yeah, there are a lot of ways it could be done.

 

However, with regard to the weight system, I don't want to see a Skyrim-esque weight system wherein you can only carry 100/100 lbs or you're rooted to the ground essentially. I want to see it so that, if you want, you can carry multiple primary weapons and ammunition on you... but it becomes prohibitive/detrimental to move around for any extended period of time, and you can't really carry anything else that you need to survive.

 

EDIT - Not to backseat mod, but this post is better suited to the Suggestions forum.

I think something like epoch's weight system would be nice. ( i know many mnay things are wrong with epoch, but thsi they got right imho) for those that dont know you basicly begin passing out (very short knockout) if running for extended period with too much weight on you. the more you increase the weight the shirt time you can jog or sprint before this begins.

 

Also i thing total carrying capacity should be generally increased across the board with this weight system implemented- if they actually had it gradually slow you as it increased that would be cool too- but like you said i dont want skyrim's .001pound over limit and your in quicksand buisness.

Good idea, I agree that there should be a way to carry more weapons, however, it should had a negative effect on the characters movement speed and how fast they get up from prone/crouch etc.

Id like to see old military bags like this one.

Aside from making you walk like you're wading through quicksand, Skyrim's realistic carrying weight mod would fit DayZ perfectly. Instead of walking like cold molasses going uphill in the winter, a simple "I can't carry anymore" message would suffice.

In all honesty, there are dozens of things DayZ could take from Skyrim that would benefit the game. Frostfall, Hunterborn, Realistic Needs/Diseases, among others.

Those mods actually make Skyrim difficult when properly used. Current DayZ is less of a survival experience than vanilla Skyrim, which is pretty sad.

I don't want a fixed limit though, I want to gradually reach a point at which it becomes prohibitive to carry what you're carrying. So that the player can manage different tradeoffs, vice just carrying 99/100 lbs and being relatively uninhibited.

..oh wait, they already said they want to make one.  :|

That would be cool, but judging by the way things have been going, having them come up with such a system is a long shot. While carrying two guns, a couple bags of rice and a canteen might only end up being around 40 pounds, it should be extremely encumbering to do so. Versus carrying a pistol, ten bags of rice, five canteens and a small hatchet that would all fit into your bag.

 

So yeah, I'm on board for that type of system, I've just given up on hoping for anything besides numerical weight limits, a stamina bar and plastic weapon attachments increasing your accuracy to that of an expert marksman.

I can't stop wishing for some big, military backpack with camo. Something akin to good 'ole Czech backpack from mod. Loved that one.

 

Regarding carrying two weapons...yeah, if it had some negative consequence aka slower movement and more time to steady your hand from fatigue.

 

edit: also still hoping that we woun't be able to shuffle through backpack on the move O_o.
