YassirX 54 Posted February 28, 2013 (edited) I think the game is lacking something very important and thats most likely because it can't be done in the Mod, but maybe it can be added in the Standalone.I'm talking about a group functionality, players should be able to form groups.Groups should have a maximum size of 10 people and everybody who is part of the group can be seen on the map.There should although be a "group-UI" which is showing the health of each member and the currently equipped weapon.People can be invited and dismissed from the group and the group is not permanent, it only exits as long as the group leaderis online or the leader decided to close the group. The group leader can transfer his right to another player (in case he logs off). Edited February 28, 2013 by YassirX Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mountainhigh (DayZ) 14 Posted February 28, 2013 I like the idea, but only if the group members can see you on the map.And maby some squads in a group?Then you can get more tactical.But that would need a bigger group then 10 i think. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

jman 8 Posted February 28, 2013 I don't want to magically see my squad mates on a map. That's not cool. There should be no limit to size. I should not magically know my friends health. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Clumzy (DayZ) 377 Posted March 1, 2013 You can already form groups, you do it by finding your friends in the game and then communicating with them. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CreepySalad 108 Posted March 1, 2013 Everything in this game should be improvised. Groups included. So, a giant arrow over my friend's head is a no-no. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mountainhigh (DayZ) 14 Posted March 1, 2013 you can make the groups and squads off corse as bigg/small as you want.And giving it a second thought seeing your friends on the map, i dont like i either!But stil to form some clans it would be nice to have a own privat chat room and etcra.I have a bad internet conection and skype with Dayz together is a BIG pain in the ass! specialy in the futere steam is also runing together!I cant(barly) even check a map on the internet or something! together with all systems on!Short on, would be nice to communicate and do everything that comes aside on one server!

thejarofflies@gmail.com 12 Posted March 2, 2013 (edited) forming clans which you could distinguish maybe a little band around their arm which only the clan could see?From a short distance would be great but not what the OP is suggestingit's a nice idea but even that would not be needed.Like CreepySalad said, everything should be improvised. Make a group so that each member is wearing the same type of hat. Or maybe same hoodie (i hear that's popular nowadayZ:)).I think the best part in dayz is that your friend an your enemy are treated equally, and your friend can easily become your enemy. So another "no" to the OP from me.But I would like to add that it would be cool to have better character variations. More skins or maybe different proportions (I doubt it's possible though) so it would be easier to distinguish who is who.You know those situations: me: "I think I see you, are you the one with lee enfield or the one with AK?" friend: "dude, I have a hatchet" me: :huh:but with clothing system and, as they said, large variety of clothes it might be enough so you don't get killed by your friend because he thought that's not you.

Private Evans 1303 Posted March 2, 2013 (edited) If you want to play as something like a military unit you have to find a map, a Gps and a radio (confirmed for the SA) for every member of your squad..this would be cool and realistic..You simply want to turn this game into something like Battlefield...and this is a big NO!!!
