ItchySox Posted December 18, 2014 Report Share Posted December 18, 2014 Hi, I was wondering what anyone thought of the idea of a temporary safe zone initiated by two players. Something like, if two players meet and agree to a handshake they become invulnerable to each other, with a time off when the handshake is broken perhaps by distance. It's an ancient idea. My thinking is that it might encourage more depth in the game play. P&L TheVampire 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
axeman Posted December 18, 2014 Report Share Posted December 18, 2014 Good idea, maybe not a full on safe zone, some kind of amnesty zone ? A 'portable safe zone' would be far too exploitable. Players entering are made aware and would take a penalty if the amnesty is broken by them or they could choose to join the zone, players within would need a means of 'checking in their weapons at the door'. A balance of realistic punishment for killing from outside the zone and blocking members from taking arms would need to be found..

Vexus Posted December 19, 2014 Report Share Posted December 19, 2014 So you want some magical Church as in Highlander where you guys can't fight even though you would if you could? ... trust issues! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
k00k00 Posted December 19, 2014 Report Share Posted December 19, 2014 What if one of those two guys have a group member camping on a hill and then take you out? The handshake thing will eork for those 2 only but not for the camper. Some non-official epoch servers have spawnplaces as a safe zone. Thats enough for trades i guess..

Ryansgotacbr Posted December 19, 2014 Report Share Posted December 19, 2014 so if you had a group of guys handshake friendly fire would be off? if someone doesnt want to shoot someone, they arnt going to shoot them, and visa versa. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ItchySox Posted December 19, 2014 Author Report Share Posted December 19, 2014 Just an idea folks, just an idea. But like I said in my opinion I think it would promote game play and it's an ancient tradition and that must be for a reason. I'm not suggesting it would have to be compulsory, you wouldn't have to agree to it and yes a third party could still kill you, just like real life...

axeman Posted December 19, 2014 Report Share Posted December 19, 2014 I don't think the idea is for a safe zone but an amnesty between players. Enforcement would have to be realistic. Try reading the thread, not sure what traders have to do with it.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BeerMan684 Posted December 19, 2014 Report Share Posted December 19, 2014 Could the handshake perhaps be in the form of, if two players agree to a deal that the two palyers names will be visible above the two charcters, obviously only visible to the two players that shook ? I know it still leaves the "I can still kill you" option available but a person can keep a beady eye on the "friendzone" palyer. Maybe this only last for 5 minutes then disapears ?
