bahhh 83 Posted June 29, 2012 Currently everybody is so frustrated about barbed wire being so hard to remove.But if you think for a second, doesn't this makes more sense?You can't remove a barbed wire easily in 5 seconds.It takes concentration and time to remove a wire.I think the current wire is providing that experience.Besides, if you were the creator of the wire, you wouldn't want anyone break in so easily.About the griefer's wire, i think this would be less of a problem if the remove option persists.Currently it's no use removing it for others because it would just come back after server restart.

Dreganius (DayZ) 55 Posted June 29, 2012 I agree with you, don't modify how it is in any way, shape, or form except for the spawnrate; which I would personally like to see reduced by at least half. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
FDFj 28 Posted June 29, 2012 I say leave the wire as it is, but make it so that it has to be placed on leveled surface free of anything that obstructs it in it whole length. That way you could not place them in doorways or staircases. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

SRTie4k 1 Posted June 29, 2012 FYI, the "barbed wire" in the game is actually Concertina wire.Have any of you ever actually removed Concertina wire? When I was in the military, I helped install and remove it on multiple occasions, and there is nothing difficult about it. Concertina wire comes in a big hoop that literally stretches out and collapses like a slinky. It's very easy to remove so long as you have metal studded gloves (which I suppose you can say is what the toolbox contains).The way the wire is right now, it is just plain broken. Placing it in doorways because you can't get the "Remove Wire" context menu, and arguing that it is alright because it takes a while to remove barbed wire is just covering for a buggy system that borders on an exploit.

bahhh 83 Posted June 29, 2012 I just came up of an idea.How about we add something like force remove?(like in fallout)force remove is much much easier than how you usually remove barbed wire right now.Instead, you have a possibility to bleed if you force remove.You can choose between force remove and usual remove.Although i can't think of a way how to inform people that there's a way of removing without bleeding.FYI' date=' the "barbed wire" in the game is actually Concertina wire.Have any of you ever actually removed Concertina wire?

Jugg 33 Posted June 29, 2012 Perhaps the gloves should be added as an extra tool? Nothing better then more shinies to hunt for =P Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Fallout10mm 4 Posted June 29, 2012 Drop the spawn rate, and expand the context menu to the entire strand of wire (not just the middle bar). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Baked_Beans_Benelli 0 Posted June 29, 2012 Ya if they could just fix the wire so it doesn't sink into the floor, or has a larger target box for removal it would be fine. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
