Idea Three Ideas For The New Server

With the new server being released soon, I have some ideas to go along with it. I thought we might as well have some new features as well as the new map. I have three different ideas that I think will make the server more realistic to DayZ, more fun, and easier to live.

First, there needs to be some kind of item, preferably a helmet, that can block a compass from detecting you. When you get to the Nether and Snow, all fights rely on the compass. If someone doesn't have a compass, there as good as dead. However, if there was a camo helmet that blocked you from being detected, or blocked you from being detected until you're withing a closer distance, it would make fights a lot more interesting. My idea would be to use a chainmail helmet with unbreaking so it wouldn't break so quickly. The camo helmet should be less common than iron, but more common than diamond.

Second, tents need to be improved. I have never found a tent on any server, but have found several tier four weapons and pieces of diamond armor. Also, when you find a tent, it gets destroyed after the server resets. Tents could simply be removed after 3-5 minutes of not having any items in the chests. Right now, there is no way for a non-donor to bank any items. With tents, players can hide items and store them wherever. Finally, a key of sorts should be implemented where only players with keys can open the chests in the tent. The key would also be more common than the tent.

Third, handcuffs need to be brought onto the server. As a true hero, I never kill another hero unless I am being attacked. Even when I am being attacked, I hate to kill that hero because of how much it drops my humanity. If we had handcuffs, heros, and bandits, could handcuff players that they didn't want to kill or just wanted to hold captive. The handcuffs would give the players slowness (Hopefully a level so high the player can't even move) for a few minutes. This would allow the player to escape. You would just hit someone with the handcuffs to apply it to them. They could wear down over time, the more you use them, and eventually break. Players that are handcuffed can still be attacked also.

If you agree with my suggestions, please tell me below to help them get into the server. If you disagree with my suggestions, please tell me what should be different in my idea, or why we shouldn't implement the idea in general. I would love to see these ideas in game, and you can help make my ideas better or show me why the ideas aren't good. Thanks!

 

Thanks for the replies and also the constructive criticism! It really helps my ideas. I'll revise them now:

1) The helmet should be rarer than diamond helemets, because I now see how op that is. A different aspect could be that you would still appear on the compass , just in half of the range of a player without a camo helmet.

2) I guess I just have bad luck with finding tents. However, they are currently pointless Parkman1221. Why would I bank my items in a completely unsafe area that will just stay there for the length of 1 reset?

3) Think about the handcuffs in the newest version of DayZ. When a player is handcuffed, they can't move at all until they wiggle out of it. They also can't use any weapons. Maybe to handcuff a player, that player can't be in motion? Finally, the handcuffs should only be found in the prison and in military airfields

 

off topic much..

 

Honestly, the compass is really OP. So if the compass is OP, why not make another OP object, that's quite rare, to disable it.
