Introducing new: Achievement System.

[trexeth 37]

What's the aim of the DayZ game - the most popular question incoming from all the fans.

What i would like to suggest, is a very popular nowadays ingame featur - Achievements.

Now, Achievements and Milestones is a 100% part of each game.

But, as far as i know, there is no any in DayZ.

What i suggest is a achievement sytem absoulutely same as in World of Warcraft Game.

You make an achievement - you recieve a prize.

Not like:

Kill 100 zombies - get UberImba weapons - NO, that's silly.

It's about Unlocking specific content of the game.

Example?

Kill 10 players with Sniper rifle with a headshot - make IST 14.5 sniper rifle spawnable.

Or if you don't like this, (I am sure there will be some people, that will say, it's bad)

Here is another way to use Achievements.

Make Achievements as Quests System.

You unlock certain Achievement, ex: Clear Village Komarovo from all the zombies.

And you get next Achievement: Find Military base northwest from Komarovo.

This kind of Achievemnts will lead you in certain directions, and help you discover strange things. (Maybe mysteries?)

Make Achievemnts bind to profile, not to character.

So if you die, you can continue doing certain achievement with "born" character.

Achievements are great! Aren't they?

Love you, and Chernarus,

Rocket, we count on you,

"Kill 10 players with Sniper rifle with a headshot - make IST 14.5 sniper rifle spawnable."

I don't think I'd agree with that because half the fun is finding the weapons and the different drops. Well I think so anyway.

make IST 14.5 sniper rifle spawnable.

What the hell are you trying to kill if it requires a cartridge that has 5000 foot pounds more muzzle energy than a .50BMG? It sure aint human and its not a zombie either.

Also forcing players to go through this sort of "leveling" is horrible

Here is this sniper rifle. (max distance - 3 kilometres) Ohhh shit... ye?

Can you explain why such kind of leveling is horrible?

It is not leveling - it is unlocking really cool features.

You know why people in World of Warcraft farm mounts? to look like Epic Mega Cool guy.

Same idea, why people will farm Super rare sniper rifles. In order to look like Epice Mega Cool guy.

It is not to create disbalance in the game.

It is a gift to players, that play really well.

I think that giving gifts (unique items) for achievements is good. Don't you?

Man, there are more then 1000 of Sniper rifle types.

You think that all of them will be in the game? NO.

Maximum -20.

But 2-3 sniper rifles, i think, should be made as a gift.

Gift for reaching Achievement, or other positive deeds.

Some really epic sniper rifles, i think should be given as a gift for certain deeds...

Don't you think the same?

There will be a lot of different sniper rifles in the game.

But some, that will appear only after fullfilling achievemnt.

Listen up lad.

It's not giving item in your backpack after you completed achievement.

It is Raising chance from 0% to 0.5% that it will spawn.

That's the point.

No they're not. Archievements are stupid, especially the ones you're suggesting. DayZ isn't about getting some dumb achivement, it's about survival. Besides, Rockets goal is it to make the game immersive and authentic, I'm not sure about you but I haven't noticed any 'achivements' or guns appearing out of thing air in real life and even though DayZ is just a game it'd still be quite the immersion breaker.

If you're looking for a more casual and relaxed Zombie Survival Game that doesn't give a dime about immersion and authenticity I heard a game called 'The War Z' will provide exactly what you are looking for. Maybe your suggestions will find more appeal there.
