Feedback: More player interactions in dynamic events: police cars, train wrecks, and convoys
Closed, ResolvedPublic

Description

The iconic "Heli Crash" is a great example for a high-risk, high-reward event with lots of player interactions.

The other dynamic events are not. Some players are "searching" them, some players stumble uppon them. But they are no "hot spots".
They appear silent. Nearby players easly pass them very close not noteicing.

Overall, it is a missed opportunity to enhance the player's experience.

Steps To Reproduce

Loot these "silent" dynamic events - you don't feel the same tension as on Heli Crashes.

Additional Information

The Heli Crashes are visually and audibly marked. They attract players from different directions.

The "silent" events need some sort of "hey I´m over here - get here to find high-tier loot".

  • The train could make a painfully steely squeak sound effect (like an old wagon axis finally breaking down). The scene could look like a derailed wagon and a fire, with smoke from damaged cargo.
  • The convoy could be bombarded with artillery, with the sound effects of a few shells landing and burning / smoking vehicles for the visual marking on longer distances.
  • The police cars events could sound like an accident and be visually marked with smoke from burning cars.

They could certainly all smoke

Hello andro_dawton.
The feedback has been considered by the dev team. Currently there are no plans to further increase the behaviour of the "lesser" dynamic events. The design is that the heli crashes should stand out compared to the other events due to the top tier loot presence.
Regards,
Geez

Thx for the reply.

But I dont understand the logic behind this - the best weapon is spawning on the convoy. The DMR. You just have to grind looting the convoys (which is way less risky than the heli crashes).
