BilL_ita 0 Posted October 26, 2012 You could enter all 4 factions for differentiating style of play, for example:Militia - blueRepublicans - redBandits-greenPve players - WhiteInserting four different types of skin, the player faction would be able to easily recognize and then you always have natural enemies or alliesWith this division could punish with greater ease, statistics in hand, players who do not respect their side, for example in the case of team kill dimunuendo or increasing the value that we call humanity today.The punishment may be the most varied, such as a lower amount of blood if the value is humanity drops too.We can also assume that the four factions may have natural enemies that if you increase killed humanity and neutral factions that do not change, for example:Militiamen vs republicansPvE players VS banditI think this could be a solution to stem a bit 'the current situation, which sees an all against all wild when in fact the game should reward the teamplay.Thanks for letting me readBill Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Fitzkrieg 129 Posted October 26, 2012 I honestly really like the idea, but have to say no. Very creative but you'll soon find out that people out there are dicks. They'll go "white" and then shoot up every flashlight kiddie out there. Impossible to work, but nice idea. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
LukeSkywalkers 31 Posted October 26, 2012 (edited) Factions in a zombie apocalypse simulation? No.Factions is something you can do on private RP servers for DayZ, but it dosen't fit into a zombie simulation.You can try joining a clan or private server that has that kind of roleplay aspect.

No.Factions is something you can do on private RP servers for DayZ, but it dosen't fit into a zombie simulation.You can try joining a clan or private server that has that kind of roleplay aspect.I'm not saying that it would be nice to play with the factions, the idea is to create 4 different archetypes styles of play.The faction of the bandits would not have such bonus malus but instead of killing and plunder because it is the nature of the bandit.Vice versa for the red and blue faction (which embody the democratic and authoritarian forms of government), it would be unseemly kill civilians instead have a vision of cooperative play and pointed to 'kill only zombies.As for the two archetypes that affect the teams red and blue, I'd like to open a discussion about which behaviors should take the community, which inevitably would be created after an apocalypse zombie.

starwarsfan@gmx.de 450 Posted October 27, 2012 It simply goes against the principles this games is based on. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dragonkatol 135 Posted October 27, 2012 First of all, i am not hating on your idea. I like the concept behind it but it doesn't fit on this game. As rocket said, DayZ is an Anti-game. he gives you the system then you play it on your own way. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Riem 164 Posted October 27, 2012 I only read this thread because of the nearly unintelligible title.But no, no factions or forced 'playstyles' of any kind, at all. DayZ is how you want to play it, and should always remain that way. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Solitude 42 Posted October 28, 2012 How about customizable gear? Like a sash you can wear, or berets, different camo colours, etc.Then it would be easy to distinguish between teams, friends, allies, foes, etc. :) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
