Groups

[Nsane32 5]

I am new to these fourms but not to the game and today I would like to disscuse an addition of groups. What I mean by this is that you would join a group and follow a certain set of rules. For exaple you would recive supplise and in return you would do jobs for what ever group you joined. Now this doesnt need to be a change to the game as it can been done with in the community.

please leave your thought below.

artifical - therefore against dayz' main cores

I'm not trying to be a prick, but if it doesn't need to be added to the game, why are you posting it to the suggestions section?

If you are looking to put together a group to do these things, the general discussion board might have been more productive.

That said, yes, I would like to see bigger groups forming, but not for the wrong reasons. If groups/communities start forming on servers it should be ,for example, because managing the before-mentioned cleanliness of the water supplies would be too difficult otherwise, or because assembling vehicles is impossible without a group to help you do it.

Nobody should be forced to join a group.

[Nsane32 5]

well not forced to join a group somthing completly optional what im talking about is follow a set of rule to follow with diferenting groups such as a clan of bandits or heros something to add more team work to differnt social groups and encourage certain behaviors becuse at the curret moment in time bandits are the most common types of people with heros being few and far between

What you're describing sounds like clans unless I'm missing something?

There's many clans in DayZ, some large, some small but most have their own rules that they stick by. You should have a look through the clan recruitment section of you're interested. As an example: TMW was one of the early clans set up by Dr Wastleland and they are by far the largest. They are medics and respond to calls for help from injured players via these forums and their own.

yea clans mostly but lighter alowing more freedom as most clan want to all paly the same sever and work with them ive done a system like this on other games but Dayz is a touchy subject when it comes to this sort of game

It'll never be something that's included within DayZ itself. DayZ is driven by the players so any groups/clans ect. will be set up by the players in the future, the SA will allow for far more customisation so clans could possibly develop a "looK" if they wanted but again that'd be entirely for them to do.

Leaving it to the players yields far more interesting results than giving them limited options.

I do think youve literally described the clan community which already exists in day z. If your having trouble finding one that suits you why not form your own and recruit on the appropriate forum?

[Nsane32 5]

well first I dont like clans there strick with leaders who see themself as the most important person and I mean groups that you can do mission for and gain a repution with, but it seem they may or may not put somthing like this in the stand alone in the form of side quest

[Crusader- 26]

I dont think side quests suit the type of game dayZ is. Your suposed to choose your own objectives and play how you want. Like i said you should just form your own clan if you cant find one that suits you.

Not all clans are strict at all. There's many that just play for fun, look through the recruitment area, only a few have very strict rules.

well this is harder to explain then expected I just move on to my next suggestion zombie types

I understand exactly what you're trying to say mate. I just dont think you understand that some bigger clans have their own servers and have websites to sign up to with incentives and organised events, on these websites they will have a list of rules that they abide by, some have a ranking system. All of your suggestions are a valid way to play, as are all play types (apart from hacking) but they are maintained by the community because if they are implemented into the game it will force players into a playstyle that maybe they dont want.

I am making a faction based on the real world Search And Rescue (SAR) Teams. I have a Youtube account that will have our videos and applications. We will be up once standalone is released because hackers are making the job difficult right now. This Team will be a faction until another faction joins (possibly a peacekeeping faction) making us a sub-faction as their aid. Our codename is Mountain Lion and see you in-game!

sound more like a gang to me
