Progression System in DayZ Standalone

[joe_mcentire 2074]

after all it is quite interesting what dean said about a possible skill system..

if you die, you lose all the things you learned in the past life. So people would think twice before picking fights out there.

but you probably know it and it's just trolling.

Yeah, totally, because loot isn't the same exact thing. You can't totally get XP back easier than loot.

People will totally care that they can't fix a car 2x faster because they were shot by a bandit in the hills. Although they can just repair it at the default speed after dying...but it doesn't matter. That extra 50% really made a difference with repairing cars.

I'm sorry for "trolling" you.

speak for yourself, kid. I dont think a bandit would be fucking around in the hills, trying to shoot people with an CZ550 (as % sniper drops will be certainly rechecked in standalone) with 15 bullets that took a day to find (as ammo will be much rarer than it is already), with his crosshair going up and down like crazy (cause, you know, if you chill on sniper hill, you'll die once in a day, at least, and having no experience in sniping will cause the player to shoot innacurate).

And yes, i really mind going from 10 minutes to 5 minutes repairing the engine of a damaged car, if you dont, i dont really know what's your problem.

there would definively be people like you that wouldnt give a fuck about being killed and would just go around doing shit, but that ones would never get a real weapon and would eventually quit and go to some noob server. The point is that serious players would think twice before exposing themselves, as it would screw his gameplay.

seriously, fuck this thread, there's no way of discussing things like an adult here. good luck for people that will stick to the discussion.

What happened to fucking this thread? I thought you were going to leave.

Anyway.

In a way you are correct. But just because a player is skilled and serious, doesn't mean they won't expose themselves. If I am in a firefight I may expose myself because I have ways of gaining an advantage that way.

speak for yourself, kid.

Could you please explain to me why you decide to add kid in there instead of keeping it out?

we're not talking about 'point system', classes or anything here dude, for fucking sake, we're talking about getting practice in things you do, just like in real life, THAT'S REALISM, DAMN, YOU LEARN BY DOING THINGS.

Unrealistic is a random civillian dude who washes in shore and can change a car's engine, shoot a sniper like a recon marine and runs like a marathon runner.

did you even read the last pages?

I did. If you're not talking about a 'point system' then why does it explicitly say:

"#1 Points system: Points will be a currency type system..."

How do you even have 192 posts, im sorry...

[liquidmind 320]

just a short question in between that "what would" talk:

isn't "the inventory screen is your level" one of the few restrictions rocket made from the beginning?

Is there even any sense in talking about a leveling system? I thought it was off the table. Just wondering.

in my opinion, even that was too much. deal with it: Dean and his fellowship of the game are thinking of subtle mechanics.

[HashSlingingSlasher192 29]

rpg elements would not fit in.
