Acheron (DayZ)

Not really it is just a suggestion to have Dean Hall Read those books While he makes the zombies for the standalone.. Because they are scary/fast/slow and take head shots to kill. The books also contains allot of info most people just don't think about. Like how the infected could spread stuff like that.

Why should Dean read this series before while making the stand alone? Simple. The zombies in this series are scary and they are the best of both worlds of zombies. They are Dead/Alive, they Run and shamble and they need the classic head shot to put them down. They are the best zombies for a standalone dayz ever!

"Jesuse Christ this is not a rpg" RAGE STOMP GROUND. "Rolls eyes at you" You don't sound rude or negative at all.

Blakdewwy I'll be honest I don't care for your pointless criticism it doesn't hurt me or my idea, its sorta laughable to be honest listening to you rant about some ones idea. Your the type of person that wants to hold back the games development.. The reason why the game should have NCPs is because in RL people would be doing these things 24 hours a day. Dayz is just a game and people really can't do these things and don't wanna do these things on their own for 24 hours a day because guess what its not real life lol. Blakdewwy the reason why I think your laughable is because the game is already the way you want it to be, its 100% player driven right now and I don't see strong holds of players holding down a city and claiming it as there main base do you?? Oh that's right they don't have enough people to stay on 24/7 to do that sorta thing. In rl there would be safe places that people will make but the difference is its RL you can't do that in a game with real people because people can't stay on 24/7 to stand watch at some virtual post but a NCP can so ya, learn to think outside the box. At the end of the day you can call it whatever you want but it's still a game and you can't get people to do these sorta things you want them to do, that a real life person could do if this was to really happen. I'm laughing at you too MZLY because this game is an RPG already lol.. Do you even know what RPG means and what it stands for? It's not wow with zombies trust me lol. Look up RPG before you go ZOMG questing=RPG. Most games have some sorta questing or mission system, I guess if I called them missions instead of questing you wouldn't assume RPG? :P And like I said at the end of the game no mater what you call it, it's still a game.

Thanks and I was thinking more on the bandits and their hatchet. I think once they earn that hatchet for them and them only its a one hit kill and it never breaks but only for them. If another player some now kill's this bad ass mofo and get's their hatchet they simply are just not strong enough to wield it the same way as the bandit that earned the hatchet they can use it still but it breaks after a while and it's not a one hit kill any more.. I came up with this idea thinking how scary it could be to see a gang of bikers with their scary faces and hatches roaming the streets just destroying and taking whatever they wanted. They would become the ultimate looter once they got their motorcycle and bad ass hatchet. I just don't think you can have a really good apocalypse without a nasty ruthless gang of bikers. Pretty much any good apocalypse movie or book I have ever watched or read has had a really nasty group like that. So why not dayz too?

So I figured in a game like this you can't just simply reward good players or people will get pissy on either side. So lets start off with the bad players. The bandits that kill on sight the ruthless bastards. I don't think all bandits are bad for starters some are just trying to survive the best way they know how and that way is to shoot first then ask questions later. Some or just crazy and the zombies are boring them so they need a bit more of a challenge and what better then human sport! So you reward these types of players with more customization options, customization options that get unlocked over time. Like they can get hockey masks and other nasty, scary looking pieces of outfits. Another thing they could have in the game are NCP camps but only 2 or 3 main bases runned by NCP's and these bases or forts could be instances or not depending on the game and if it can support these forts without the instances. So lets get to the bad guy base or fort first.. First off you get the heads from players you kill and take their ears, there can be a menu system where you can look at the players you kill, and see their faces and names just for shits and giggles. Now in these bandit camps any one can come inside and its safe but you have to be a bad mofo to do some of the quests in those camps. Here is the catch tho they will never reward you with guns for being a bandit but they will reward you with ammo and food for being a nasty son of a bitch as long as you complete their quests. All the quests are the same basically. Quests like this dude needs Wine or this dude needs car parts, that dude needs 10 cans of food and so on and so forth one of the higher ended quests might be to bring back military grade guns. I was thinking of another reward for bandits and thought they could get a really big kick ass looking hatchet and harley davidson motorcycle as a really good reward for players that have been bad ass bandits for a while. Now lets talk good guys! As a good guy you don't really get any cool extra customization but you work hard and your hard work can pays off. For the good guys there are 2 places. The slums where any player can go even bad guys but no one wants your help if your a bad guy so no questing for the bads. So you have your slums then think of a really fancy building in the center. Think fiddlers green from land of the dead. Really nice luxury fancy building with rich people. But you have to earn your way in to that place by doing quests in the slums and not killing innocent players. Once you have obtained the status to get into the super fancy building AKA Fiddlers green. You get a ID and 500 Credits where you use the credits to buy all sorts of things.. They are ID credits meaning you can't trade them they are not even real but they are gold still. You get a ID with with all your info and its like a credit card but one you can only use in this building and you can use it for any thing.. You get a room a nice room and you can customize it to your liking if you have enough credits. Your room would be its own instance. Or you can spend your credits on a nice vehicle, weapons, ammo, food.. See the main difference is in this place the owners of the building are rich and safe and they will pay or give you any thing you need to stay that way.. Unlike the bandit camps the leaders of those camps are bad asses and they made their camps safe on their owns so they don't need you as much as the rich people do... I think these things are also a great end game for players that know how to survive longer then a day.. It gives players a reason to do good or bad or to survive longer then 20-30 minutes and it gives players plenty of things to do..

Your right ha I just read that on their site and was about to edit my post. :P

What I read about a year or two back, they had said they wanted to make this game more like a zombie simulation single player then after do a mmo based on the results of the single player game. It looks off because its a xbox live arcade game tho , that doesn't mean its bad because look at dead rising case zero that's an arcade game too.

Bluecrackers just don't speak you sound dumb. And sorry I was thinking this might not be in the right place lol but wasn't sure oh well.

This is not new but they finally posted new video and the name of their single player zombie survival simulator game. :P

BruskarDK why don't you read?? Learn to read please.

Hmm maybe you people haven't kept up with the dayz news but there will be instances sorry to burst your bubble. And what is wrong with you? This is a good topic if you don't like it then gtfo it's that simple. I would much rather see really big open building outside the normal world but I don't think we are going to see that sorta thing. Rocket has talked about instances and this thread doesn't need people bashing the idea it needs supportive feedback not some childish,"BLAH BLAH NOOOOOOO" response. I know most of you are small minded but come on think out side your little box.

So in the stand alone game there is supposed to be instances right? So what if there was a huge mall instance with a huge mall map with game modes like capture the flag and team death match inside the instances for fun maybe even for loot or something. I'm not sure how Rocket is going to deal with how many players can go into a single instance. But you could do many many things with instances like once you enter the mall instance you spawn in a random spawn location inside the mall not just the front door, where some one could be standing there waiting to shoot you or idk. I think instances could be a mini game inside a game sorta thing.. It could be a defend the fort type of thing too. Maybe the mall and a bit outside the mall is a safe zone with a safe perimeter that goes around the mall and its a trade zone.. But I think instances could be much more then some safe zones I think they could be really cool objective pvp fun zones. Like you bring your stuff your weapons into this type of zone and you don't have to worry about losing any thing because its just for fun. Ikd these are just Ideas don't be all harsh I am just trying to think outside the box of what Dayz could be and things that could happen. So I guess what I wanna know is what other things can come out of instances other then underground base building and safe zones.

"I'm throwing money at my computer screen and nothing is happening" YAY More garbage tweets that's not news. That should answer your confusion "Thatryanguy" That garbage is on the front page I don't have to click any thing to get it. Its one of the lamest tweets ever and shouldn't even be posted on the news section. I know some guy is super excited in buying dayz as a standalone but again not news worthy just plane garbage shoved in our face on the front page. As for looking up our news on the announcements forums why should I? No normal person is going to look there. Any normal person just browsing dayz is going to look up news on the front page of the website not going through forums to look for news.

So Bauersteg I guess your one of those people that loves to hear how World of Warcraft has 11 million subscribers, you love news like that getting shoved down your throat ever other day? Because its the same thing just a different game, no one really like that and its not news. I am super glad Dayz got to a million players and its going standalone, but I am not glad they counted down to a million on their news page every other day.
