Adding giant rugs to look like trash in urban enviroments.

[snelheid 1]

Hello there,

 

I play dayz for quite a while now (like the mod when it had below 40k players).

now i havent always played it constantly since then but i still like the game and often do play it, SA and MOD.

Now my suggestion for SA is something that i've always wanted to see in the game and dont get why it has not been added before.

The idea is fairly simple and generally accepted by people who like the"apocalypse" scene may it be movies, series, comics games etc.

The idea is that in urban envirments there will be a lot of thrash and dust, and the best way to survive is to stay stealthed.

In urban sutiations (and dayZ) there are enough places with piles of thrash or small piles that you can blend in with.

Now what i am suggestion is the following:
 

-Add rags, giant cloaks or just anything big like i dont know a carpet, to the game.

 

This can be used to bled in with the enviroment and stay stealthy.

 

Why is this legit?
The human eye (and thus zombie eyes) or infected, can easily see different objects and spot camouflage, and silhouettes much better than any animal.

however being underneath an normal everyday object and taking the silloute away, and thus looking like a common object.

 

Example:

Quite big picture

Looks normal, but if a player could use 

 

To blend in with it lets say by using it next to the pile or on top of it, he would be stealthed and might not get spotted.

 

same could be done with for example some stones or rocks.

 

And let's not forget about frodo proving it is legit.

people who watched lotr will know what im talking about.

 

Oke so, i can camp underneath this and just wait for players to pass by?

Well to balance this out with gameplay the idea is that you yourself can also not say anything the screen would be the same as when you are blinded by a burlap sack.

i'd also like to suggest that if this gets in, shooting from underneath this should not be possible or highly inaccurate.

 

So i cant see anything why use it?

-To hide from players.

-Squads that are approching.

-Hide yourself during a long distance gunfight and let them think you have ran away.

-And you can always have a squad or friends telling you what's going on even when blinded, from for example a distance (walkie talkie in game) etc.

 

 

 

I'd like to hear feedback about this idea, also i've searched the forums and could not find the suggestion so if it's been suggested before im sorry feel free to close it.

Because snipers and KoSers... like they need any more "tools" to cause chaos....no thanks...

Boxes, cardboard boxes, you could put on yer ed and sneak around Cherno like wot solid snake does !

Love this idea! I play lone wolf so hiding from a squad when I am not at a long range would be great!

This is... such a weirdly worded suggestion. 

 

Do you mean you want there to be more street clutter, and for there to be an option to hide under certain objects?

 

I'm all for more street clutter provided there's a negligible impact on performance... but being able to hide under rugs? Sounds like it'd be clunky.

While I love this idea, I also see the problem with it....

 

Encouraging long-range-killing, which is far worse than usual KoS....

 

 

So even though I (myself) like this idea, I say "no", because I am aware of the problems it would bring.

 

(but Chris Torchia already said: The DEVs want to reduce and prevent long-range-kill-on-sight-sniping. They will not put in the SVD or any other "big" sniperrifle, until global-loot works.

So I guess they won't put this in either, sadly (or "luckily?) ) ;)

The idea is that, you cannot see while being hidden.

Therefore using it to hide yourself while sniping would not work, as most people know sniping requires you to follow the person and take time to land a killing shot. ( a good one at least)

 

and u cant shoot from underneath it either, or well no accurcy and it's blind cuz u cant see.

 

depending on the game team that does the balancing in dayZ, however we all know that you dont load grass and most objects from a distance so this in the middle of a field will be pretty visable.

 

I'd say it would be a bad idea when sniping, it only works when in urban enviroments, and mabey near rocks. (but even then u cant see anything)

 

so u cant kill what u cant see. especially on long range.
