Classes?

[uJhitePanda 3]

You can be a surviving doctor or mechanic who can do thing better or faster than other can.

Or

Their can be a kinda skill system ,So how many cars you fix, medical equipment you use, or how much you cook can increase how well a certain thing will work on you or if you can do a certain thing yourself without the need of two players.

Also when you die you lose a skill or all your skills which will make dying even worse in this game than it already is lol.

No thanks on the skill or doc system, everyone will just pick solider.

I don't think it' a good idea Because Almost every game that has classes there is one that is better than the others, then everyone complains about it. So they nerf the class. then there will be another class that over powered than the rest it goes on and on.

No skill/stat system with xp rewards and a tree to fill out. 100% user skill based with everyone being equal. It's great the way it is, if you want a skill tree system of leveling try an MMO or maybe WarZ. DayZs player system is good the way it is, keeping it as player/user skill and on an even keel.

Those 10 seconds are gone forever you know? Think of what you could have done with those precious seconds?

As for the OP - i highly doubt there will be classes/skills in DayZ - in fact i can bet Hetstaine's DayZ character's life on it.

It's your first post so welcome to the forums, but try Searching next time as there have been lots of threads on this subject matter before.

or you can use the 2nd option i put their where you get little bonuses for living longer and doing more stuff ,but if you die you will have to start over.

Classes....

The problem with classes is when you put a player as a class type,..then you end up with players who want certain class party makeups and also there is the idea that everyone rolls the flavor of the week skill/class.

DayZ is meant to be a game where you are anyone you want to be, we all start on an even foot (unless you played longer and die then yeah you know a little more,..or have a map app...but now im losing my focus lol).

Now you mention about a player doing say medical or fix a car and gain skill points which just means you fix faster or maybe the heal more per medical shot created for use.

Problem:

You will have players fixing a car then shooting it, then fixing just to max out their points in the X skill.

You will have players taking turns shooting each other then bandage to gain more medic skill points,...

Basically this introduces GRIND.....

The other thing this is CRYING OUT FOR....is BOTS who are players who just repeat actions to up skill points.

This has happen in other MMOs and it would happen here.

Oh I forgot the rage and QQing from players who got their skill to high a high level then get killed and start raging in forums on how they should be able to keep their skill points after they die...this would lead to the end of DayZ as a special game and it would become a generic game....

OP- Your ideas are not bad, they are just not for this game, DayZ.

For the love of god this has been suggested many times and all times its stupid. We don't need classes. Stop trying to turn dayz into fallout 3 or a MMO.

[uJhitePanda 3]

yea i guess it would be to much to handle and it would change the game too.

[Nimz41 105]

Sure cool idea for a DIFFERENT game, Dayz I think has the perfect balance for skill level of acutal characters. Adding Classes would ruin that and turn it into crap like WarZ
