boaby Posted October 21, 2014 Report Share Posted October 21, 2014 so please hear me out before you kick the shit outta me and my idea , I dunno if its been suggested in the past but what I was thinking is that within the 30m radar jammer radius you could place defensive traps that would persist until set off by an aggressor. these traps would be limited in number so as not to turn the area into a minefield and would persist over server restarts if they are placed within the boundaries of the radar jammer. the same rules would apply to placing them inside the radar jammer area , being that only you or your squad can build there and all would get the location as if theyd placed them (ie the red triangle of death) traps could be the mines and such already available in game but not limited to just that with some imagination and creativity :).

MGT_Dazza Posted October 21, 2014 Report Share Posted October 21, 2014 no reason why you cant do this now with the various mines available. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Instill Posted October 21, 2014 Report Share Posted October 21, 2014 Currently the placed mines are server timed, meaning that they are a placeable object that resets on server restart, they wouldnt carry over. Traps would be different though (bear traps, rope traps that catch you and you need a knife to get out quickly or you have to wiggle free. etc.) Bushwick and boaby 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boaby Posted October 22, 2014 Author Report Share Posted October 22, 2014 dazza the problem just now is persistence over server restarts , yes you can place them but soon as the server restarts they are sacrificed to the gods of arma and lost forever. what I would suggest is that a limited number be placed inside the area of the radar jammer which would persist over server restarts until it was eventually set off by someone. I do like the sounds of the bear traps and rope trap , while they may not kill an attacker tey may just slow them down enough to offer an advantage.

Instill Posted October 22, 2014 Report Share Posted October 22, 2014 I think it would be cool to build a trap hole that you can fill with snakes. It would be fair to add a ladder out so players dont get stuck but chances are you will get bitten and your toxicity will be high Shadow Moses 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carl-R Posted October 27, 2014 Report Share Posted October 27, 2014 Just yesterday i got 3 kills with Anti-personnel mines, place one in my door, and in the stairs up to my base. one of them might have killed a friendly but they sure do their job.

Caza397 Posted October 27, 2014 Report Share Posted October 27, 2014 I think the bear trap idea is a good one, if it only broke your leg that would be awesome too! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nic Posted October 27, 2014 Report Share Posted October 27, 2014 one of them might have killed a friendly but they sure do their job. I think people in the same group should have a little marker over the mine (like the group hexagons) to prevent this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GasT Posted October 27, 2014 Report Share Posted October 27, 2014 I think people in the same group should have a little marker over the mine (like the group hexagons) to prevent this. Nah It´s these mistakes that brings fun conversations in the group. Pasi and waynewr 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pmba79 Posted October 29, 2014 Report Share Posted October 29, 2014 Nah It´s these mistakes that brings fun conversations in the group. Agreed, no need for markers on them.. But persistance over server restart would be great.. I like this idea quite alot.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nic Posted October 30, 2014 Report Share Posted October 30, 2014 Nah It´s these mistakes that brings fun conversations in the group. I suppose that you would like to remove hexagons as well? I'm sure friendly fire brings up fun conversations for you guys as well. Killawhat 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, yes.. I would like to see the hexagon's removed as they aint excatly realistic... That way players would also actually have to talk to eachother to give the location..

Pmba79 Posted October 30, 2014 Report Share Posted October 30, 2014 "Go left, no, your other left" *BOOM* I can see that going well haha Laugh all you want.. Couldn't care less ;) Ever played DayZ or the old mods ? Shit happens and that's only more realistic.. How realistic is it in an military "simulator" to have a dot flying in mid-air to show you where your team are ?? ( besides - "Go left, no, your other left" -is only being a fullblown retard.. ) - communicate ffs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GasT Posted October 30, 2014 Report Share Posted October 30, 2014 No heWell, yes.. I would like to see the hexagon's removed as they aint excatly realistic... That way players would also actually have to talk to eachother to give the location.. No hexes should persist. It's just a pain without them. I'd like a normal mode between the softcore and hardcore settings we have now. I really want the cross hair removed, it's something that i feel belongs in console games. It's about finding a good balance of realism and fun gameplay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Killawhat Posted October 30, 2014 Report Share Posted October 30, 2014 I am, personally, against this because too easy to exploit at this time! But, i am not totally against it for the future, but I have been playing Arma 2's mod "DayZ" for a couple years now and know that even if you place a mine in one spot and then someone else places a mine, someone is going to loose! Now add the capabilities of base building in Arma 3 Epoch (also that I have been playing A3 since it came out and Epoch while still closed), the longer you are alive, the more stamina you have and other perks. NOW, because one of your group members set a few mines, while you were sleeping/at work/ just off the server, and did not PM/email you to location of them, your 24 hr character is now dead and you are on the island... In your skivvies! How happy would you be then that because you have. (MY THOUGHTS NOW) a frequency jammer, radar detector, and squad -- that not only show your groups mines but those of OTHER PPL that put them at your door step :P. This way, EVERYONE in your squad can see where the dumb one of your group (There is always at least one) set a mine, and you are now safe. (now insert quote and how stupid I am, blah blah blah, because you know its killing you not to :D) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That way players would also actually have to talk to eachother to give the location.. Sure they aren't realistic, but everyone having the same body and face isn't either. IRL you would be able to recognize friends from foes far off because of their unique body features and the hexagons make up for the fact that every base character model is the same. Maybe they could take hexagons off if they added more clothing choice so each character look is unique. Also, hardcore servers don't have hexes, so you could go play there.

That way players would also actually have to talk to eachother to give the location.. Since this is the future why limit to today's tech. They could add new pair of goggles like the NVG. Call then ACG (Advanced Combat Goggles). These goggles would allow you to see your group members. If you have a GPS. It would also show the distance from you. It could also show contact to enemy messages to other group members wearing the goggles. While you wear them it drains your energy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skafsgaard Posted November 2, 2014 Report Share Posted November 2, 2014 Really annoying with all the sudden off-topic about squad-markers. Take it somewhere else, please - like for example a suggestion/feedback thread with a fitting topic. <_< I quite like the idea of making mines persistent within the radius of your groups Frequency Jammer, if it's possible. Especially given how easily and frequently people glitches into bases. At the moment, you can easily glitch through walls and especially gates - making it impossible to actually secure your base against trespassers. :mellow: Being able to place down a persistent "minefield" would definitely deter a good bit of these trespassers and thereby add a lot to the security of bases. I do, however, think that for balancing purposes, the "mine detector" should be added to the loot table, but as a rare spawn. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
