Optional team based friendly fire.

^ therein lies the problem of too many server side options that make the game easier. :) Regardless i fail to ever see any sort of ff mode being implemented.

[whiteboy greg 21]

I'm really just suggesting things that will make it easier for more casual people to enjoy the game while not affecting the way hardcore people want to play it.

But I get it. There is only ONE way to enjoy dayz and it is YOUR way.

I'll say it again because it needs to be said. You need new players coming in to be fodder for the elite.

If all you have is the hardcore vs the hardcore those numbers shrink and shrink until you have about 1000 super Dayz grognards who live in dayz and THATS IT!

It's the influx of new blood that makes multiplayer live.

Why is this a problem if they are private hive private server?

I prefer the Dayz 2017 mod myself but the way people play on a server with crazy starting loadouts and tons of vehicles does not effect how I play on my favorite servers.

Its just kind of whining.

Women use a smaller balls in the WNBA, it does not effect my enjoyment of the NBA,

No way! You couldn't infiltrate someone's group and shoot them all in the back when they stumble across a camp.

If you want to join an apocalype game you can't have a villa in the woods with naked girls running around ready to give you a bj, a massage and a cocktail after pretending to hunt zombies for an hour and saying: "Oh my god i'm so tired..." That's what the current situation is with all the private server offering the easy way for players. If those players could officially use cheats to make the game even easier for them they would. Sometimes the devs have to force a gameplay to achieve what they want. Doom 3 also played with the torch as game element...nobody complained...every CoD or MoH shooter kills you instantly when you go to places where you shouldn't ( meaning 1m to the left or right )...nobody complains...the game is in the top 5 every time they start selling the next "copy" of it.

If you are enjoying playing a game where you get everything thrown in your lap where you actually have to turn every stone to find food where's the point in playing it?

REMEMBER its an option for that small group of people who wants to team up and don't get killed by accident by there friends, OPTIONAL if this is included just don't play that specific server SIMPLE man you guys just see what he is saying optional he said. So for those people who work together this is good not so many and this is OPTIONAL (I'm going to type optional alot) so get lost to those people that think this isn't realistic 1 this is actually a social experiment 2 ITS A GOD DAMNED GAME no game can be that realistic it should have some friendly-fire off option for that percentage of people.

[enforcer1975 1111]

As one stated above FF off can be abused like blowing up some people surrounding a teammate without hurting him, so NO thank you.

Trust me, I am not "elite". I just like a challenge and is a big fan of "games as art". Art is emotions, DayZ has great potential of generating emotions. If it turns into a deathmatch that potential is ruined and the whole point of the experiment is gone, and all we are left with is a multiplayer PvP-game with varying difficulty with some zombies to annoy you. I never saw it as a multiplayer competetive game and all server side options are turning the game into just that.

I'm really not whining or anything, and yes you are right: obviously how other play does not affect me. I'm just stating my opinion.

[GOD™ 2795]

Why not just play Arma? DayZ isn't about teams fighting or squads. :)

But its current player base sure as hell treats it like it.

EDIT: Arma is awesome :D

I think you have missed the point of this 'game' completely. I mean if DayZ were Earth and you were an incoming asteroid, you've just hit Pluto.

The most you are gonna get, i reckon, are armband colours that clans can wear to differentiate themselves.

No friendly fire? This is a joke right?

[burritoman259 593]

I'd like a IR light that can be attached to a vehicle or a helmet kinda like the laser pointer on the l85A2.

[Evilution 66]

This idea does not fit in with DayZ at all. Why do ppl want to be spoon fed easy mode nowadays it makes me have genuine sad face :(

Being able to accidentally kill team mates or new found friends is just how it is and makes for a way more interesting experience!

Thank the gaming industry...long before most were born we had to balance on ledges ourselves in order to not fall down in games, nowaday you just hold RT and push LS to leap from tree to tree ( Assassin's Creed ), what an achievement if i mange not to fall off a tree...

Wrong. You play DayZ as if it were DayZ. DayZ is not trying to be everything to everyone. It never will be.

One of the awesome things in DayZ is that you have to adapt to survive. It's not going to bend over for you. It forces you change your tactics. You have to adapt or die.

Gives me a mad face.

Like when I saw Dark Souls II would be "more straightfoward", I got upset.

And when seeing these kinda suggestions, I get kinda upset.

Like leveling and exp and stuff.

I really hope Rocket doesn't try to pander to casuals.

This isn't a game for casuals.

It will never be.

Hopefully.

Please don't let it be.

PLEASE GET THE FUCK OFF YOUR HIGH HORSES FOR A SECOND.

I play dayz 2017 becaues I like the realism and scarcity.

THIS IS JUST TO MAKE IT EASIER TO FIND LIKE MINDED PLAYERS.

SERVER OPTIONAL SERVER OPTIONAL SERVER OPTIONAL. PRIVATE HIVE.

Nobody would be forced into no FF You could play on that server and STILL KILL EVERYONE

.

But seriously fuck it.

Most Dayz players are going to see this post as invitation to boldly proclaim how hardcore they are rather than actually thinking through what I'm trying to say.

Edit; or bash console games like cod or bf3. easy targets.

No, we're bashing your idea.

We're not on a high horse.

This game is supposed to provide the tension of a zombie apocalypse.

Adding teams removes this tension.

So what if it's server optional?

More people will play on those servers rather than the servers that portray what the game was meant to be played like.

This removes from the game.

Stop being a whiney man-child.

In DayZ, you never know who to trust. Adding teams would take that tension away.

Also, you seriously think I go around shooting everything that moves? Take a minute to read my signature.

I guess I'm not really making this clear.

It would not be team based.

Basically i was using this term because it would be easy to designate the no FF option to one "team"

This would just allow people to trust people easier.

Really I just want this so I can play this game occaisonally and still be able to find people to play with.

And maybe not you as much but condesension is the overall tone of the replys. So I stand by my "get the fuck off your high horse" or maybe your just don't know what that saying means.

You still don't get it, you can't mix FF types on a single mission ( not that it's technically impossible ).

This game is about risking and trust. If you are not willing to take a risk to form a team with complete strangers then maybe this is not a game for you...?

[colekern 1364]

I think I've gotta agree with you there. But still, one of the things that makes DayZ special is that survivor encounters are extremely intense.

[BwobBwub 660]

Theres a bunch of games already like that.

Counter-Strike

TF2

BF3

COD

[JayTee13 1]

Yes because DayZ would be better off as a team deathmatch game that happens to have zombies.
