Standalone suggestions

So what i think they should do with the dayz standalone is make it kind of a sequel of the mod. What i mean by this is, some people have come together and made one "save town" for people do go to in the middle of the map. People could trade for items and such. But there can still be violence but i think like auto turrets or something would keep players from doing it ALL the time. Think like megaton in fallout 3, its nice and peaceful then you can walk outside and get killed feet away from it. Tell me your guys' thoughts

I can undertand people's ideas and need for Safe Zones but i think these safe zones should be player created. You want to make Cherno safe? Barricade a section off and defend it. There shouldnt be any game created safe areas, and especially not areas made safe by hi tech gadgets like Auto turrets. Put players on lookout if you want to make the area safer.

Unfortunately despite all the best efforts of making a zone safe the problem of ghosting makes surface safe zones obsolete. Would they work if a player could just server hop inside your safe zone and drop a grenade on the floor?

I think that is why bases will be instanced and put underground. Bases can be attacked and taken over but only in the server they have been created in and only through valid entrances. No one will be able to server hop in.

Truth be told, i would love to come across an area that has been fortified and protected and allows players to trade under the watchful eye of player guards, but i dont think it is feasible in the mod's current state. A few have tried and so far all have been hacked, attacked or had choppers flown into them.
