Safe Zones & Safe Time - An idea to prevent instant death

[WinterEdit]

Because I am too lazy to post this to a thread such as GTA:O Upgrades Wishlist and I want a bit more discussion than posting it there would give, I decided to make a topic about it.

 

Either way, should there be a small circle of safety around the Apartments, meaning you or your vehicle can't be damaged while inside it. These safe zones would only be around Apartments/Garages, and allow the person coming from the Apartment to have a chance of escaping. You could not destroy the vehicles or the player by any means, nor would you be able to throw or shoot anyone from inside the circle.

 

Similarly, there should be an invulnerability time for a person who has recently died. Like in Deathmatches, in which you can not kill someone instantly after spawning, you should not be allowed to die instantly when respawning in Free Mode either. If the person was in Passive Mode and died by a player (with e.g. running over), he would get ghost mode for some time after respawning, making it impossible to die by running over for e.g. 30 secs, which is plenty of time to get to an elevated area.

 

What do you think?

Very, very great idea. I hate driving out of my garage, but then getting blown to pieces by a tank. That's exactly the same reason I moved out of the Eclipse Towers (400k).

Having a 10 second protection/escape time would be good enough for me..not sure about force-fields and the ghost mode part.

Seems like a good idea.

 

 

The invincibility after spawn though makes no sense, since you always have the option of going into passive mode after you die.

Passive mode then removes your ability to fight back since you can't use weapons on-foot.

 

A short Invincibility time limit after respawning would let that player kill any potential spawn killers to even out the playing field.

The first 'draft' of an idea is never perfect.

Yeah, forgot about that.

Haha i see what you mean though, you're pretty much naked in the current setup.

I like the ghost idea

I don't like the safe zones though

think it's quite fun to have people camp your appartement

besides it would really f*ck up a pretty large area of the city considering how many properties there are

would also be really confusing.

 

so no safe zones

yes to ghost mode

A "respawn somewhere else" after dying a certain amount of times would be simple but very effective.

No safe zones. Tanks just need some adjusting. Spawning isn't terrible to me, just spawn a little farther away. I don't think you should be able to get away so easily. All part of the challenge.

Pointless idea. You should always check the minimap before leaving your garage or apartment. Failure to do so is signing your own death warrant.

 

If there is a safe zone a griefer will just chase you until you are out of that zone. Stil lthe same result only you're further away from safety than you would have been previously.
