Safezones & more

[[email protected] 1]

First off i want to say great mod!

my suggestion would be:

Safezones:

an safe zone or good defenable location for people who want to team up and stick together, bit like you saw in The Walking Dead herschel's farm.

or the parked car group outside atlanta. even tough you think its safe zombies will come in a herd now and then.

Vehicle loot:

tough some cars are burned others are flipped over ect.

maybe some people tried to leave but left loot like food or matches.

These are just a few suggestions

Sorry for any spelling mistakes.

That's a good idea, maybe some kind of zone where shooting/pvp isn't allowed, so people can team up with strangers because at the moment everybody shoots and it's nearly impossible to team up, just like a little town or something.

I can't wait to snipe the entrance to your safezone.

Yeah, this. It would encourage this sort of behavior for starters.

Also how would you manage this sort of safe zone area?

Everything in the game is player driven at the moment, if you were to have a "Survivor Hangout" you'd need survivors to manage it.

Basically taking over small towns is what you want added and I think they've already got that planned for an update much further in the future.

Don't get rid of the ability to shoot your gun but if you hit another player the npc guards gun you down. Put NPC sniper guards on the wall that will fire on anyone shooting into the town. Basically means a strong enough player group could overrun the place with enough skill and gear but not without losses, and regular zombie attacks that a player presence would be needed to defend or the place can be overrun.

After a while the place would get taken back by more military or whatever faction it is running the place etc etc. Interesting idea but I would rather see if we can make one of these ourselves with the trading post ideas before we put in a npc camp or use game mechanics to keep people from firing guns.
