Server Looting: Character Server Lock
myusername! replied to myusername!'s topic in General Discussion
Awesome! that would work. Hopefully the devs will implement this, should be an easy fix. -

Dayz Coast Spawning Only: Yes or No
myusername! replied to myusername!'s topic in General Discussion
True, when the spawning was coast only it allowed you to know where the people would be. If you wanted to be sociable or were looking for a fight you could go to the coast/cherno/elektro or airfields. If you felt like looting more quietly you could move to the inland towns. -
Great feed back everyone! If anyone knows how to get this idea and thread link to Rocket for possible consideration that would be awesome! I have no twitter account... I know right?

Great points! You summed up the idea well.

Dayz Coast Spawning Only: Yes or No
myusername! replied to myusername!'s topic in General Discussion
Interesting, many valid points for both sides, pros and cons to each. I liked the coast spawning with Balota having less military gear than NW or NE airfield becuase it created important places that were hard to reach like the NW airfield the gameplay was more stratigic overall in my opinion. But bandits killing fresh spawns on the coast is a big con that the random spawning would correct. If there were a huge negative to shooting on sight maybe people would play more realistically insted of just killing everyone they see (for reasons like "just because i can" or a genuine fear that if they dont shoot the other will kill them so they have to, it's either "them or me") it would make dayz more interactive. Great feedback everyone! -
Nice! that is a great idea and would be very helpful.

The driver's license was the initial idea. I tend to think that people would keep it because it's an official government issued card (even if that government does not exist any more because of the apocalypse) and it has a little info on it including the persons name; it's also a very light weight, thin, plastic card that is easily stored. You and a few previous posters have mentioned that people my not keep it so maybe the driver's license idea could be changed to a survival info card that the survivor has created containing a little info and their name. Thanks for all the feedback!

Dog tags would work as well but given that Dayz is more of a civilian survival simulator I dont know if military dog tags would make as much sense.
-
Yeah, I'm not sure how skill progression would be implemented. The original "driver's license/survival name and info card" idea is an attempt at a simple solution to find the name of the people that are killed in dayz.
-
Adding the driver's license to the examine screen is a good idea too.
-
Hey, thanks for the great feedback. I guess the driver's license could be designed to take no slots as it is only a single card. As for carrying a driver's license during the zombie apocalypse; maybe it doesn't have to be a driver's license but some kind of information card that the survivor has created containing a little info such as their name? That may make a little more since in the apocalypse setting.
