EzE (DayZ)

So, bored at work, thinking of some cool additions to the game, and thought, wouldn't it be pretty cool to have a heavily armed sweeper team ride throughout the Cheranus, locating players and either killing them if they do not cooperate or assisting them if they do, who knows? I was thinking maybe three or four server admins could ride around in military gear in an APC or humvee doing this. Obviously you run the risk of the admins abusing the power and killing everyone on sight (which I am sure some would do) but I think that would just add to the tension in the game. Hide from the sweeper team or risk being killed by a possibly corrupt admin? :P This could be done maybe once or twice a week just to prevent it from being too overpowered and once an admin logs out, the sweeper session is over. They would have no way to automatically locate players, so an encounter with them could be avoided. And if players somehow manage to take them out, they would have some pretty awesome guns and gear, but with limited ammo that does not respawn. Obviously this is just a brain dump but I think the concept could be pretty neat. There would need to be some preventative measures to keep it balanced though, especially since these would be people (admins) and not NPCs. Thoughts?

lol Yeah I know I am pretty sure most admins would abuse the power aside from those that would play fair. Dev team would be pretty cool, but it would probably only happen every so often. Would be a treat to see Rocket and his crew rolling around Dayz bringing the ruckus:D

Oh yeah, and another thing that hallucinations might add. If a sneaky bandit somehow dupes you into trusting him, with plans on off-ing you a little later, these hallucinations could give the player some insight on if he is a bandit or not. He might start shooting at thin air thinking another player or zombie is around or ask "did you hear that zombie" when in fact, there is no zomie around at all. And maybe make the whiskey have some adverse affects on players with regular humanity, like the blurred vision you get when you are low on blood, but a bandit will want to find as much whiskey as possible to fend off his mental issues. So if you two are looting and he picks up the whiskey, he just might be a crazy bandit lol. (Im bored at work and these are just some brainstorms :p)

Kind of a long shot and not sure how it could be implemented but one suggestion I heard a while ago on here could be pretty cool. Players with low humanity could start to see things and hallucinate. Maybe see a player model run in their field of view every once in a while or here zombie moans coming from behind them when nobody is really there. Hell maybe make one or two zombies actually spawn near them (if possible, not sure) even if they are in the middle of the woods by themselves (Karma is a bitch :P) And maybe actually add some whiskey in those bottles to help fend off these mental issues for a brief period of time. Adds some cool features and I dont think it really takes anything away from the game. But then again, im no game developer and have no clue how hard it would be to implement

Hey SomeoneMustGetHurt, I added you on steam. I'm milanored804 on steam but go by EzE in Dayz. Hopefully we get to team up soon

Yeah I am interested in joining a milita/peace keeper group. I am new to Arma 2 as a whole so I need to find a group I can trust and move throughout the world with. Got tracked and killed by some bandits near the coast after gearing up, so I am assuming the coastal cities are pretty much killzones. So yeah I am still learning the ropes but I will definitely get on board with a milita group. Loving this mod so far even though its so unforgiving. I will be keeping an eye on this thread for updates about any groups being formed. Player name: EzE
