Posted January 9, 2016 If a car crashed into a power pole, knocking it down, would the power for that area go out? The power lines could also be affected by storms, and trees falling on them. This would create the opportunity for more careers (such as the line mechanic) who would need to fix it to restore the power. This could deter rough driving by players as well. There could even be a power station which needs workers, or maintenance, for it to operate Also, would street lights break - meaning they need to be fixed? And does the government have the switch to turn them off and on? - So they could plunge the island into darkness Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Cut the power and then there's no alarm. This is probably how's it's done is real life, but in this game, it'd just be O.P.. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I mean it will be abused by people whose only goal is to make the game less fun for other people Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted January 11, 2016 Identity's environment isn't fully destructible and we don't really know how destructible it will be. We do know though that most destructions will be client sided.

That means that if you witnessed an accident- you see the damage. If you came to the same spot after the accident- you see everything perfectly fine. Maybe just a corpse lying around. And, most likely, if you'll go far away enough the area will reset for you and when you go back the damage will be gone for you aswell. That's why it's not very likely power poles could be knocked out and affect the entire area. Doesn't look like power outage is in plans, for now at least. It could be interesting though Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
