S3V3N 1402 Posted March 10, 2015 We have an ice-axe now. Makes me think there should be more mountain climbing gear! It could be made possible to latch a shackle onto a roof and rapell down. That would be interesting as a tactical alternative to storming in through the front door. But it could also be a quick escape from rooftop fights and an alternative to climbing down stairs; less motion sickness. In the future I imagine there won't be only 2 zombies waiting for you at the bottom of that ladder. There will be ten or twenty. So ideally you might want to not leave the house through the one door where all the zombies are waiting. In an even remoter future of the game, I could also imagine people bivaking on cliffsides, i.e. creating a hanging camp you can only reach with the proper climbing gear and balls of steel. This could be an alternative to tent camps or big base buildings. Probably rather for small groups and lonewolfs than big clans. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Helix2000 128 Posted March 10, 2015 i am going to go out on a limb here and guess that you meant rappelling?nice idea, but i sense alot of broken legs in it... 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
S3V3N 1402 Posted March 10, 2015 i am going to go out on a limb here and guess that you meant rappelling?nice idea, but i sense alot of broken legs in it...Lool, I swear I didn't see the spelling mistake. That's kinda hilarious! I should have written "abseiling". You know - I sense a lot fewer broken legs with the engine update; that seems to be a collision issue with the current engine. If It can't be made interactive, it could still offer you "rappel down" as an option. If the bow/crossbow allowed for it, we could also shoot ziplines across buildings. Also, if you don't have enough rope you can't rappel down the highest buildings, I'd think. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DURRHUNTER 597 Posted March 10, 2015 hmmmm...base jumping failed so rappelling is a better idea.. I mean its plausible, but would be buggy at best. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
S3V3N 1402 Posted March 10, 2015 hmmmm...base jumping failed so rappelling is a better idea.. I adapt ^^I also still think parachutes are a good idea, but that is another topic. This game just has me constantly thinking "what about this/ how would this influence my playstyle". I don't want too much Arcade feeling gameplay in Dayz, but I think some reality issues should be treated softer for the sake of having a better gameplay experience. It helps a lot that there are already so many items in the game that could easily be expanded into having some real functionality (like the beehives) or which could be given additional purpose (like the rope + shackles/mooring anchor).

theevancat 94 Posted March 13, 2015 Cool in theory but it sounds like something I'd never do because DayZ gonna DayZ and the hills will eat me. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
