Food Traps

[lesovikk1@hotmail.co.uk 2]

Hello,

After discussing with a mate, we noticed something dayz was missing. A kind of key idea that should be implemented to make players more warey of what they are picking up and allows players to put decoy items down.

So the basic idea:

Food and drink items can be drugged, either by sleeping drugs or poisen.

This would allow a greater feel to the aspect of survival of the fittest, laying traps or laying tainted items in your clans base if you know someone keeps sneeking in and taking your items.

Sleeping drugs would cause players to fall unconsious for about 5 minutes, this allows players to loot players without the need to kill or injure them. Players would of course have to track users untill they use the item and then take their loot, if they dont and you take the sleeping drugs by accident then you obviously dont lose anything. The sleeping drugs would take 2 minutes to work, during this time the screen slowly fading to grey then black.

Poisen or Rat Poisen, this could be used to slowly affect players temperature and create a slow blood loss untill a player either dies or consumes Anti Poisen Tablets.

Just a basic idea, if you guys could expand on our concept or suggest any changes feel free.

I think it's an interesting concept, but it definitley needs to be worked on. Five minutes seems like a long time to knock a player out for. I can also see a lot of people just logging out before or right after they pass out.

Maybe the implementation of bear traps would create a similar scenario, i.e. you set a trap, you snare a survivor, you then could loot without killing.

Yes very true, i was trying to think of a general time to allow a person tracking them to get to their body, loot it and run off. Would 2 Minutes to 2 Minitues 30 seconds be better?

Expanding on my original idea, Sleeping drugs should only be found within hospitals or stores, with a very rare spawn chance of about 0.20%. Poisen should be available within sheds with a spawn chance of 0.20%, or within shops with a spawn chance of 0.18%. Anti Poisen Tablets should only spawn within hospitals, with the same chance as other hospital loot (41.67% chance)

There should be another item that allows players to test items for poisen or sleeping drugs before consuming items, such as a "Medical Test strip" which can indicate to players whether and items been tampered with. This should be available within Hospitals, Millitary Buildings or very rarely in shops. Just to give a bit of fareness to players before they consume items.
