domfergo 1 Posted June 3, 2015 This is my favorite communication site that I visit with my work. Its an old unused HF system that bounced signal off the troposphere the cover great distances. Just thought it would be great in the game.Another thought was that communication site like this generated some kind of radiation. The site in the picture was over 1000watt and would burn you if proper saftey was not used around the site.I was thinking loot items like radiation suits, pills to recover from radaition posioning etc... Could be made.High value loot could spawn at these locations. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Rags! 1966 Posted June 4, 2015 Chernobyl Reactor #4, and before Fukishima it was the most radioactive place on the planet. Imagine walking into this and taking a look around. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
IkaikaKekai 1957 Posted June 4, 2015 My dad works at a VLF (very low frequency) site here in Hawaii. Way back before 9/11 when people could pretty much freely go onto the property me and the family would visit him often. Well one thing we'd always have to worry about was getting shocked or touching bare metal. The entire area was electrically charged just due to the amount of energy needed to power the antennas. He would tell me when he first started working there, he and a few coworkers would take florescent lights outside at night and basically play Jedi with them. If you held one end and 'wiped' your hand over it, the bulb would light up and stay lit up for a while. This could be that 'radiation' you're thinking of, electrical radiation or microwave radiation rather than what we think of when we think Chernobyl or Three Mile Island. If the power goes out (which it has at that site and in Chenarus) the Radiation would not linger for very long since it's not being constantly generated.

domfergo 1 Posted June 4, 2015 Yeah, imagine it would be some type of microwave radiation as you mention. I didnt really think about the fact that there is no power in Chenarus.Still think the idea of radiation is a valid one, could add another level of struggle to the game! Would be fun taking a can of beans from a radiated site and feeding it to someone else not prepared for its effects. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I was thinking loot items like radiation suits, pills to recover from radaition posioning etc... Could be made.I doubt they will add radiation into the game. This will change the whole concept. It will become closer to "S.T.A.L.K.E.R.".But toxic areas (chem waste) - why no? After the fix synchronization, zombies, loot, etc etc etc etc etc :D High value loot could spawn at these locations.Ah. Dayz players... they think only about loot. ;)I wish someone say:"Hey. It will be a cool location with nothing to scavenge there" :emptycan: :lol: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
