    I am suggesting this on the behalf of WarZ player Nicolecacola, this is NOT my original idea.

    Idea: The idea is that at night, the range of detecting enemy players, friends & towns shrinks. This would be done to encourage stealth attacks, and generally make the game more difficult at night. This would cause people to stock up on Supplies during the day, then take refuge in buildings / safe areas at night.

    I will pass any suggestions on to the Nicolecocola.

    Thanks

    That sounds like a cool idea. I can add to your idea too. How about that the night and day cycle doesn't just circle randomly anymore, but it goes on like a normal minecraft day and night. When sunset approaches, the compass's affects will gradually start wearing out. This means that the range will keep decreasing until the morning arrives. When the morning does arrive, the compass will instantly be restored to its max range.

    I've always hated compasses. They're not hard to get, and it is like player radar. If someone finds you on their compass, all they have to do is run straight in the opposite direction and they're usually safe. Or they'll hunt you down. They make stealth completely impossible.

    I think instead, compasses should have an on/off function. If it's off, it just points north, like a regular compass. If it's on, and set to find a player (friend or enemy) it will point to the nearest player, with infinite range, but only if that player also has a compass that is also on. A compass would be on if it's searching for enemies, players, or towns. So it would no longer a player detector, but a compass detector. How could a compass track people anyway? Is everyone implanted with a chip?

    I am not 100% sure on how to spell the username, didn't check properly.
    Nevertheless, the point still stands.

    GreenPeas I love the idea. If this becomes true I wonder what it would be like and how difficult it would be.
    Good Luck on this idea. :smile:

    It would be a big change to WarZ on a PVP basis. A change that I, among others i'm sure, will be willing to embrace.

    A great idea in my opinion. Makes the night a time where death is more prominent. People would try to take safety in buildings as no one would wander out in plane sight outside.

    I dont really care what it is, no compasess, reduced range at night, or some kinda camouflage armor to block being tracked (I thought I had read that somewhere but now I can't find it?); I think compasses should be nerfed. They really ruin the necessity of stealth.

    Perhaps the addition of something such as:
    Could solve that issue, as maybe a kind of camouflage armour that you can wear could make you undetectable by compass.

    Oh ya thats the post I saw, except they only talk about camouflage blocking zombie detection. It doesnt even have to be good armor; it could have 0 resistance to keep it balanced. I just think there should be something that can let you sneak around all stealth-mode like.
