Player interactions you would like to see happen

Recommended Posts

I'm a pretty vigilant person while playing this game, and it takes a bit of work to be able to sneak up on me. That said, I love it when someone gets the jump on me. Not the shoot on sight crap, I love it when I'm looting and someone talks to me with VOIP. I've had someone sneak up on me when I was looting and say "Well, sorry buddy, but I'm starving and I think you have beans" I didn't have enough time to do anything before I was dead. I've also had the opposite happen when they are friendly instead.

I love these situations and wish I would see more of them instead of the 'Shoot on sight' that keeps happening. Now, while reading the 'Stories', 'Trading Post', and various other threads all while watching heli videos on youtube I got to thinking about what I would love to see more of.

I would love for things like the Trading post to crop up on some servers. I'd also love to see some of the Bandit Hunting parties be formed. As I was thinking of all these things a "Dream Scenario" poped up in my head, rather movie like.

I want to see something like a very well established Trading post, highly trafficed and a group of well equiped Bandits in the same server. I'm thinking about 6-10 Bandits and something like 25-30ish people trading/patroling/policing the trading post (including the loot gatherers off doing what they do). I want to see these bandits in a heli or 2 perform a raid on the trading post and seeing what would ensue.

While my mind has branched into a multitude of endings I would love to see, the bandits raid was successful. Making off with great loot, maybe losing a few fellow bandits in the process. Then, having the remainders of the Trading Post. Most likely the looting parties, regroup and reform to go hunt down those bandits and retrieve the stolen goods. All the while having to search towns/avoid zombies looking for the theives.

Now If you've read this far I guess I should close out with some realistic things I'd like to see happen like I stated in the beggining.

I want to see more talking less shoot on sight. Even if you're a bandit I'd love it if you would say something over VOIP before killing me.

I want to see an established server and trading post.

I want to see bandit hunting parties. As it is now 9/10 times the parties I run into are Bandit parties usually around 3 - 5 people per.

I want to be able to clear out a town of zombies and then fortify said town, which I can then claim as my own and become dictator of all that come in. Until someone kills me lol. Zombies should spawn on the outskirts of a town then wander in and aimlessly roam around. This would allow us to fortify the town, though you'd burn through ammo fast with the current respawn rate trying to keep them back. Would take a lot of work to get it working right.

With that I'd like to say I love this mod and can't wait to see where it goes from here! whether it becomes more shoot on sight or cooperation, I'm super excited!

Anyway, what kind of player interactions would you all like to see more of?
