2 New Item Suggestions

[Undrun SIgna 4]

SNIPER TENTS======================================================================





Idea: A new way for snipers to camouflage them selves.




Reasoning: Another way for a sniper to hide himself, especially when raiding a bandit/survivor camp, and a replacement to using GS and just a new item in general.

Balancing of Tent:

1. Limit the Players FoV in the sights, while inside the tent

2. Can not move from the tent without choosing an "Exit" option, making it easier for players to launch a counter attack if they do not have a sniper/long range weapon

3. Provide a general camouflage to everyone with in a certain distance; 0m-50m = Pretty Visible 51 - 1000 Hard to See 1001+ Not able to see without using some sort of sights with a magnification ( Note: this probably will have to have some tweaking done and are just general ranges)

ISSUES:

1. Would have to be based of a vehicle entity. No other way to make a enterable object [fixed position] (Limit of Arma II engine), but would be possible in standalone game for a better, more refined then just using a vehicle based entity.

2. May cause issues of camping if spawn rate its not limited to what a current rare item spawn rate is. (Only findable in Heli crash?)

HYDRATION PACK===============================================================

Idea: A backpack that holds 5 water bottles, fits 1 inside every pack (Coyote, Czech, Alice) only takes 1 spot while in a pack, but 3 spots when in inventories.


Reasoning: A larger, more convenient to carry large amounts of water (In standalone, would weigh you down a lot, probably a little more then if you had just the 5 filled water bottles)

Tweaks to the Pack:

1. Has an automatic feature, to were when hydration meter begins to flash, your character will take a drink from 1 of the 5 water bottles.

2. You can still drink from the pack whenever you fell like it.

3. to refill, take the bottles out, fill with water and put it back in.

that sniper needs a troll face photoshopped on it.

[AngryKaze 15]

No and no. Stupid.

Ghillies is enough, really. Dont need any extra 'bandit-tent-place-outside-a-city-treeline-and-kill-freshspawns". And you have enough room for water/drinks in the already existing packs. And there is a bug in DayZ where you only need one food and one drink to sustain you for hundres of days, which Im not going to share, but still. Carrying a main weapon and a extra in your backpack, painkillers/morphine/BB's, and you have plenty of room for food and water.

Fun part of the game is to find and locate shit, just sitting out in the forest and never have to go to a town to fill up on consumables is just crap.

That sniper look's snug as a bug in a rug!!

[kryvian 123]

Ok 1, the whole idea for a hydration pack is for long distance travel... usually by foot.

2. when you say

... sitting out in the forest and never have to go to a town to fill up on consumables is just crap.

... the pack holds only water, meaning i still have to go to town to get my beans..

3. What if you don't have room for 5 water bottles and you want to head from the south east coast to the NW airfield? this turns those 5 slots into one and on the trip, you don't have to worry about your hydration levels (until your pack is out of water)

Thanks for your opinion, but to me, its kinda flawed... but thats your opinion.

You can already get into a tent.

Sniper tents......emergent gameplay FTW

Sniper tents, Not sure if troll or serious.

Ghilli suits and a rilfe that is all a sniper needs. and what sniper would use a tent, in real life or in game that is a dumb idea.

Hydration pouch may be a nice idea, but it be basically the same as a water bottle, but can be assigned a hot key and have a level meter to know how much is in it (much like ammo does) so you drink from the pack via key and refill it just like a water bottle, but cant drink from it unless it is in your pack.

The sniper tent, if it was like the tents are now, would never get used. The texture is just too noticeable.

Theh ydration pack, I like the idea, but that should simply be how 1 water bottle functions. You should be able to sip it, instead of downing an entire canteen.

It's also realistic, and a way to play this game that isn't about killing. Diversifying playstyles is important in DayZ, the whole point is to play it the way you want, and there should be an option for people who don't want to go into towns and live on a steady diet of soda and canned food.

sniper tent ? thats wack. hydration pack is ok i spose

[AngryKaze 15]

You dont EVEN have to worry about not enough space for carrying food/water. Thats my whole point of shutting you down, son. So lets say you gear up in chernarus, you find a M4A1 CCO in the Military tents, you find a Alice pack in Apartments and plenty of food and water in supermarket, aswell as a Map, Compass, Watch, Hatchet, Hunting knife and a sidearm/bandage. Aswell as 1-2 Painkillers and Morphine. What else do you have, that's gonna fill your backpack so you dont have enough room for 5-7 each of food and water? Nothing, son. Nothing. Stupid idea.

[starwarsfan@gmx.de 450]

lol because this is sniper challenge 2.0

[apache25 133]

what about a standard u.s military camal pack?

Thats your way of shutting me down xD ok... SON.. xD

The first idea is good but wouldnt work with the way games render graphics, even if it was the same color and what not of area you place it in, it would stick out like a soar thumb.

The second idea i really like, it would be cool if the pack up 1 slot when empty and 2-3 spots when full, also there could be bag variants that have them built in.

[RaysGoodLiquor 93]

Tent no, Camelback yes. They should add a drag bag for snipers and make it to where you can't carry them in your backpack. If you want to hold an assault rifle, you should have to carry your AS50 in a drag bag.
