Mr95noodles 0 Posted December 23, 2012 In DayZ their isn't a good feel for progression, as you find a gun, some food and water and a tent and there is not mush else to do. Their should be a way to create forts like in Wasteland (Arma II mod). In a zombie apocalypse your main goal should be to rebuild society. With bases you could defend yourself, your friends and your stuff. Currently in DayZ, tents are the only thing you have and you are uncappable to defend it well. You should be able to find items to create walls and parts of your base and have it rare enough so people don't just spam it everywhere. This possible addition could make great defendable locations for players making intense firefights for controll. There could be a couple ways to enter and exit bases. one way could be doors with keys for owners to enter and exit. For raiders and bandits there could be lockpicks to bypass the doors and making lockpicks rare for players for many reasons. The conventional grenade could blow a hole through their defences also risking the destruction of loot. Looting dead players can also possibly grant you access to the base. Their can be alot of possibilities for bases tactically and in other ways.Reply with thoughts and other suggestions surrounding Base building Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BwobBwub 660 Posted December 23, 2012 Something like a building function might be implemented in the Standalone. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rossums 2190 Posted December 23, 2012 There isn't meant to be any real 'progression' it's not an RPG like WoW where there is a set order, it's a sandbox.Base building is being discussed by the developers to be implemented into the standalone release of DayZ.

Peter p-q 3 Posted December 23, 2012 Maybe crafting walls out of chopped wood or something, maybe a other item you need like ropes or something Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CactusJack 3 Posted December 23, 2012 I like the concept. We don't need minecraft-like castles, but small buildings to provide a "safe zone" would be cool. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Just a place to be somewhat sheltered, a central location for groups, and possibly small storage places within. All this being able to be stolen, ransacked, etc. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
