mr0zzy99 4 Posted December 22, 2013 (edited) Hey! When I played DayZ today, I felt something was missing in the forests. They are way too empty and I think there's an awesome fix for that.I watched some walking dead and came up with an idea for dayz sa (standalone). So my idea is that everytime the server restarts there will be like 5 random small camps in some random forest. So when you are out walking in the forest, you suddenly see a small camp. Two benches, one tent and maybe a campfire. The place has been abandoned since a long time ago, just like it would in a real zombie apocalypse. So when you get to the camp hidden in the forest, you can start your own small camp there. Placing some of your loot in the tent(s) and sometimes sleeping in the tent(s). That way if you are like 3 people, you can all survive in the small camp. It'd make the game more "realistic" and you would survive more insted of just looting all the time. I hope you like the idea, and I'd love to see it in the game. See you in game!-Ozzy :) Edited December 22, 2013 by MrOzzy99 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
creature 1189 Posted December 22, 2013 And players will come across your camp, kill you, steal your gear and destroy anything they can't carry. Almost daily. There won't be pre-existing camps on the map, but the rest will happen. Don't worry. There are a few random places like that in the woods but not with tents.

Silverhawk71 7 Posted December 22, 2013 I like it, maybe not so much for people to move in, but why wouldn't you come across survivor camps? Other versions of the mod had it, Fallujah for one. I found it a good addition for the long runs between distant towns. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Twixxer 159 Posted December 22, 2013 Why don't you just let actual players create their own camps? Duh. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Subject42 20 Posted December 22, 2013 (edited) I like this ídea esspecially when the position of those camps is randomized and/or players are able to build them. Additionally i wish there were more flora and fauna availble for interaction :/ Edited December 22, 2013 by Subject42 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mr0zzy99 4 Posted December 23, 2013 Why don't you just let actual players create their own camps? Duh.But the point of this idea is that it'd be random and would make exploration much better and you'd have to explore more. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
phillip_callaway@hotmail.com 1 Posted December 23, 2013 Searching other peoples camps is always good fun, the thrill of the find, the excitement of a possible kill, and of course the satifiaction of detroying everything you can't steal. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Twixxer 159 Posted December 23, 2013 (edited) But the point of this idea is that it'd be random and would make exploration much better and you'd have to explore more.Player camps are random too. How exactly you would have to explore more and it would make exploration better? As Parlek stated, by exploring an actual player camp you get the excitement and thrill, since you never know when you might get shot or what kind of loot awaits you.

Silverhawk71 7 Posted December 24, 2013 (edited) End of the day the idea in itself doesn't have any flaw. Why not have more reasons to encourage people to explore forest areas? sure player camps will be around but if people learn there are even more incentives to go looking through forests with an eye open, especially on new servers which have no playerbase or established player "camps" the suggestion should not be discouraged.
