Brusann 67 Posted July 27, 2012 To keep it short and sweet, I believe parties should be implemented, probably capped at 10 or so.(debatable) If someone leaves the party, they will still not be able to shoot members of that party for 5 minutes.(debatable) However I realize this may be too carebear-ish, so-As an alternative, customizable armbands/bandanas. Find a piece of cloth in the store and some paint, and create an insignia of your choice so your group doesn't have to constantly have to bark over chat, "WHO'S AT THE FIRESTATION?!?!"Thanks for reading! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Partywaffle 24 Posted July 27, 2012 I suggest we have some kind of party system to where it would be easier to spot your friends (mainly your IRL friends). This could be in the form of a type of clothing or something of the sort. If I shoot my friend on accident I expect him to bleed and be hurt or killed. However I don't want to be exploring a city with a friend, split up, and then mistake him for another player and get killed or kill him.At the moment we use chemlights to easily tell if we're friendlies, but it makes us a lot easier to spot if we're glowing colors.

Brusann 67 Posted July 27, 2012 As i mentioned in the OP, I understand that a party system may not be an option for a game such as DayZ. That's where a bandana or armband would come in handy, as it's completely realistic. You would have to be in visible range, and pretty close to see a design or color on someone's clothing. Either way, thanks for your input! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
