mrquacka 15 Posted August 23, 2012 Hey Guys,I have a suggestion about a new "vehicle" in the DayZ standalone.How about a shopping cart ? I was at the store today and I thought to myself it would be cool to have a shopping cart in DayZ.You could use it for :Putting Items in it to store them and moving around with it or hiding it at a safe place if you have no tent. E.g. to collect car engines and stuff since it takes away a lot of space in the normal inventory / backpack.Imagine one of your friends has a broken bone and you have no morphine to heal it. Maybe the player with the broken bone could sit in the shopping cart and can be moved around by his friend so they can get faster to a hospital.A possible spawn point could be the supermarket or all around in a bigger city.However you should not simply run around with it because you may become an easy target for other players so you have to be careful.So thats my idea, i hope you like it and feel free to tell me your opinion about it. 6 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

mrquacka 15 Posted August 23, 2012 What if your crippled friend in the shopping cart starts rolling uncrontrollably downhill towards a horde of zombies?This would be hilarious. I imagine a situation were someone is shooting at them and the one moving the cart around leaves the cart for pulling his gun out and the other one is rolling uncontrollably downhill... :D Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Maybe the player with the broken bone could sit in the shopping cart and can be moved around by his friend so they can get faster to a hospital.I thought this idea was realtively unnecesary (or a troll post) until I read this. I don't know if people realise, but you just came up with an idea to help deal with one of the biggest problems currently in the game; broken bones with no morhine. More specifically, getting 2-hit broken legs by zombies.More often than not, you get broken bones from something extremely ridiculous and then have to restart your character. As you probably know, removing the reset button is one of the biggest goals for the game, as it completely takes away from the authentic experience you get from the game. However, that cannot be done unless all bad things associated with its "taking away" are dealt with, one being stranded with broken legs.This addition would be extremely useful, not only to groups of survivors, but also to Heroes, believe it or not. In terms of groups, it is quite simple. If someone in your group gets broken legs for whatever reason (door smashing on them, zombie, falling, etc.) and they are relatively near a city, the group can set up a perimeter while someone runs in quickly and grabs a shopping cart and runs back to put the injured person in. They would do this rather than take the higher risk of going into a zone where medical supplies are (where there are usually alot of people) or slowly dragging the injured person along.For a Hero, at the moment, you can't really do much as a hero, in terms of helping people.1.Give people shit.2.Simply not kill them.3.Give them protected escort.There are more, exotic ways, but they usually fall under those categories. This gives a way for a lone or small group of heroes who like helping people to help in a more creative, fun, and interesting way. Like the group example, the hero could happen to stumble upon a stranded, leg-broken survivor near a city and grab a shopping cart and quickly wheel him to safety or wherever. Also, perhaps the person in the cart could shoot, like a dragged survivor, so that if they happen to run upon a bandit or zombies, the cart-driver would not have to disengage the cart and kill the zombies, but rather the passenger could himself.This would take place rather than the hero just flat out not having medical supplies and having to leave the stranded person alone to reset.Also encourages group play a small bit (and not killing on sight). It would also be 10x faster than a wheelchair (if implemented), so a wheelchair would not negate its effectiveness.Oh, and even for bandits, it would be a fun way to take hostages. Also effective. Rather than taking a hostage who could potentially run away at any second, the person in the cart could have broken legs or at least have to do the action of getting out before trying to run away from their captors.:)The only downside I see to this idea is the possible is it taking away from the authenticity and core value of the game because of people doing stupid shit with the carts (although it would be fun as hell). Other than that, I think this is a really good idea. Edited August 23, 2012 by Spart248 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
