ziogualty 45 Posted October 4, 2012 (edited) Disclaimer: Since i'm playing DayZ every second of my free-time since i entered last week-end, my thoughts could be fuzzy and confused. :)I'm not aiming at some particular gear with this suggestion. Just everything.That's to avoid that "finally i'm ok with it" feeling that imho should not be in Dayz.In DayZ nothing should be confortable or secure.Better something like: "Finally, i'm ok...for now"Examples:Maps: made of paper, used lots of time each day. Paper deteriorate so map should broke sooner or later.Hunting Knife: the more you use it, the more it lose sharpness untill unusable.Night Vision Googles: cannot last forever, batteries can end, as well as they could broke if you get hit in the face by a zombie.Weapons: God only knows how much a weapon need maintenance to works properly, so after used it many times, it should jam or became unusable (sileneced weapons should be even more fragile).Clothes: Do they last forever? in such environment?And so on.There are plenty of loot spawns around, so it will force player to keep scavenging no matter what they get till now.Share your thoughts.

Hydra (DayZ) 472 Posted October 4, 2012 I do believe that a deteriation system would benefit the game's environment, but should only be added if there are ways to maintain your equipment. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mr_chabowski@live.co.uk 2416 Posted October 4, 2012 Night Vision Googles: cannot last forever, batteries can end, as well as they could broke if you get hit in the face by a zombie.I agree with the idea of never feeling like the job is over and you can relax, but imagine how pissed off you would be if a Zed 1-shotted your NVGs right off your face!Would be hilarious if it happened to somebody else though. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Inception. 9443 Posted October 4, 2012 Weapons: God only knows how much a weapon need maintenance to works properly, so after used it many times, it should jam or became unusable (sileneced weapons should be even more fragile).And thus, such a thing brings light onto a weapon that was once forgot, but should not have been forgotten...Oh, the AK47.
