NV Goggles

Lets make NV goggles have a limited battery life. Batteries for them should be somewhat rare.

I don't feel like farming that 2% drop-rate just cause I played the game correctly and survived more then 4hours.

If your looking for realism, then infinite powered NV goggles aint it, pal.

Let's encourage more players to server jump in the barracks, or duplicate items, or hack them in while we are at?

Realism or server-hopping / bug abuse.

maybe they are solar powered/recharged? And when you run arround during the day they recharge and you can then use them by night!!!

[The_Dude (DayZ) 27]

Its pretty clear that this suggestion will not have the possibility of implementation until the standalone....

Hackers be damned!

[Bludy 324]

i agree with batteries in game, also in flashlight and gps.

shut the fuck up donny

No you shut up!

Ummm no.

[Man vs Wild 313]

wow this is a impressive topic

[crobinho 16]

Ummm no.

lol, so its more plausible that someone would rely only on batteries instead of using something ppl do use on an every day basis, it doent even have to be solar powered, the lunar power tehnology is also advanced enough to be used on various items. but love your argument though, really hard to beat!

ouch, you got me there! because we are looting through Arizona, the most likely NV googles we will find are the ones the US army is using! Well, thank you for clearing that!

Keep in mind that 60 hours of battery life is pretty darned good, especially when used sparingly.... they could last a very long time before needing new batteries.

Operation time: 12 hours on one 2.7 volt battery. I don't even play that long lolololololol.

Thats one version.... other battery types offer longer charges. The battery time would be persistent... so even tho you play for a couple hours one day and five hours another... that would add up over time to deplete the battery.

[JarethJams 87]

The us army ones have 60 hrs lololol. ANd if they did add batteries ppl would just dupe em like every other item in this game and they wouldnt be rare anymore. Shit i can find everyhing i want in elektro hill.

DUDE... this is a suggestion for the standalone, not the hacker infested mess that this game is right now. LOLOLOLOLOL

Arg, Bambies talking about things they know nothing about, All these posts about how electronic scopes and NVG's should have battery life, They do have a battery life but they are military grade which means there battery life lasts for a year or so (depending on the make, they may only last for a few hours or days, but the thermal/nv scopes last for a year at least) before a need of new battery's arises, so as many people have said in posts about this before, Its a stupid idea and if you want realism it wont fit, Just wanted to clarify you on that :)

All I know is what I read on a spec sheet. Anyway, why not have battery life? Unlimited energy makes no sense.

[deadlykenny 37]

As I said, there's no point in having them for the items i specified as you can't have even played for an entire year so pointless to add them to those items.

[The_Dude (DayZ) 27]

I disagree with you on this point.

[deadlykenny 37]

Well you can disagree all you like, but the fact is im right so :P to you sir, and also the military grade electronic vision equipment uses special types of batteries that last longer than normal, so finding them would be a real pain, and lets be honest, you hardly even have one set of NVG's for more than a couple of days or weeks because some bambi shoots you for no reason.

NV goggles really arent a big deal, since so few people have them.
