justin1311 1 Posted October 17, 2013 So, I'm not a fan of permadeath most of the time so I don't play DayZ often at all. However, I do enjoy playing the game. Does anyone know of a way to mod DayZ in a way that makes it so you only drop everything except your backpack (not the items in it) and your primary and secondary equipped weapons? I'd like to maybe run a server like this, no idea how many players I'd get but I'd like to try. I just find the game more enjoyable when only certain items are lost on death, that's just me.I'd like to play DayZ more as an open world RPG with a more hardcore death penalty, but not as a completely hardcore survival game. A little more laid back, a little less worrying. I don't currently know of a game like this, so I'm asking this here. Does anyone know of any tutorials or how this can be done?

-Se7eN- 874 Posted October 17, 2013 it could be done but its just not dayz... if you always respawned with your backpack, guns and such, there is no challenge, you spawn on the coast with an arsenal, the point of dayz is living through the harsh conditions of chernarus, finding weapons to keep you and your crew safe, and items to live. if people spawn with there gear, people would get very bored very fast. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kichilron 8550 Posted October 17, 2013 So, I'm not a fan of permadeath most of the time so I don't play DayZ often at all. However, I do enjoy playing the game. Permadeath IS the game. You will most likely not find any help on here if you think this game shouldn't punish you when you're passing away. There was a game once, that had all this and it wasn't overly successful nor was it loved. It even had to change it's name and everyone in here generally likes it. If I mention it's name I will most likely even be burned. But if you want something like you suggest, that might be something to look into for you. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
justin1311 1 Posted October 17, 2013 (edited) "Does anyone know of a way to mod DayZ in a way that makes it so you only drop everything except your backpack (NOT THE ITEMS IN IT) and your primary and secondary equipped weapons?" Meaning you respawn with two guns and an empty backpack, nothing else. I hate it when people tell me that the game would get boring if x feature were changed, just because it would be boring for you doesn't mean it is for everyone else. I expected responses like this but I felt like trying anyways. All I'm asking is if someone knows how to do this, I'm not asking you to like it. I find it boring with complete permadeath, so I wish to change it. If you do not wish to play the game like that, that's fine. That's not what I'm asking here. It reduces KoS and makes your time feel lest wasted upon death, that's why I like it. That's fine if you do not. It's really only a small change to a big mod.
