Locking your Backpack

Recommended Posts

I was rolling along the coast today, handing out food/water/meds to new survivors. Doing my charity bit for the day before logging off.

After meeting with a group of two, I ran away a bit to notice that they had taken EVERYTHING out of my backpack. This forced me to turn around and shoot both of them dead. If you give an inch, they take a yard.

Which brings me to the question, why aren't you able to prevent anyone from accessing your backpack? Or just have a notification that pops up when someone DOES access your backpack. Unless these two were expert pickpockets, I highly doubt they could have emptied the content of my backpack into their pockets without me noticing.

You didn't know? They were both Thief class, so of course they've mastered the arts of thievery. Not to mention, the fact that your backpack sits on your back means they get a pickpocket bonus cause you can't see them as well as you would if you'd had a frontpack!

Seems like a good idea to notify you if someone click ur pack, or simple make like and yes/no popup box wether you allow them to reach in your pack..

o.o apparently they were if they did all that and i dont think the locking thing should be done... but the notification of someone entering ur bag i would love cause in real life even if someone tugs at the zipper i can feel it sooo why not have something say xxxxx has opened your bag

This thread made me lol, because I saw NorthernLion (youtuber) do this to someone on his letsplay.

From what I've seen, I think a little message pops up in your top left corner (a corner none of us ever pay attention to) that says 'Player X is accessing your backpack'

Whether or not this is still in function I can't say.

Yes I think the notification would be an excellent option. Its also tricky because you can access someone's backpack even if you are facing them, which is wierd.

Yeah, I would love a feature to at least warn when your bag is being opened. Not sure if it can be added to the Dayz mod or if that is something that the Arma 2 folks would have to do. Either way it would be a nice addition.
