Help a masochist get off. (How to make the game harder?)

[Cerberus_HC 0]

So me and my friend run a Hardcore roleplaying survival server and we want to add ALOT more challange.

The problem right now is that people arn't taking the game as seriously as we want them to, running around in the middle of town and shooting off there gun for fun and such, I don't have a problem with fun, but sometimes people break the immersion that the server is supposed to have.

SO, I was thinking that more difficulty would force people to be more tactical.

So is there a way to:

1.spawn more zombies? we currently (I think) have 300 zombies spawning at any one time, we want to bump it up to 1200.

2. Have bloodsucker mutants from namaslak on the chernerus map?

3. spawn bandit npc's in apcs, tanks, and attack choppers, Ect. Ect.

4. Make all weapons in the game less accurate

5. Make zombies kill in one hit.

There, Players will have to be reeeeeally tactical to survive this apocolyses!

Our server is pretty private, so if a salution invloves messing with the games files thats ok, we can send all our players download links to the altered files.

Hello there

A simple fix is to make weapons/ammo/cars/helis rare. Usually an abundance of leet kit is what makes folk get bored.

Not quite the fix you are after but IMHO a simpler and more elegant one.

yeah I was thinking the same thing, I want to decrease the number of vehicals to 50, or 80. that way people who own them will chairish them.

I'm sort of new to the dayz communtity, but i think by "leet kit" you mean gear right? we've gone to great lengths to make players appreciate what they have (The starting loadout is one bandage).

Hello there

Let folk know that your server is more vanilla-esque as that's what many dedicated players really want. The main thing is to be a reliable trustworthy admin. And that's the thing that takes time.

Advertise with imagination, don't go the easy route of giving away free guns etc that attracts the wrong type. As an admin be patient and reasonable but firm.

Have special events but don't make them too common, they need to be something to really look forward to.

If I think of any other tips (or if anyone else has any please let OP know) Ill let you know.
