Maple! 0 Posted June 22, 2012 What if we had danger zones in certain areas of the map at certain times, and you have to avoid these areas unless you want to, say, get carpet bombed, or maybe a massive horde of zombies spawn in this particular area. That way people have to keep moving and it makes the game a bit more interesting. You could have a plug-in in the game that says what the coordinates of the danger zone are, and you can just use your map to navigate around that area. You could also have one of those storm sirens go off to let you know you're in danger (nothing is more creepy to me than zombies and storm sirens). If anyone has seen Battle Royale or Hunger games, they'll know what I'm talking about.Now this is just an idea, but I'll put some pros and cons. Cons: 1. If you are just connecting to a server, and you happen to be in the danger zone, you're toast...2. Might cause some serious lag.Pros: 1. People are less likely to camp.2. Keeps the game moving. 3. Adds another obstacle or event in the game.Let me know what you think, even if you think it's stupid.I also just saw a similar thread on r/dayz, please don't think I stole it from them!

ascendantwyvern 0 Posted June 22, 2012 All that comes to mind is someone in a car "riding to the danger zone"...Anwho, it seems nifty but it looks like the military already tried to clean up cherno and failed. Perhaps a minefield? The infected pack thing also soujds interesting... But where would they be realistically located? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bad_mojo (DayZ) 1204 Posted June 22, 2012 I nominate Skalisty Island (big island in SE corner of map)Maybe add some military stuff and make it look like the island was used as a "safe zone" until things got out of hand. Then add an insane amount of zeds around the town & buildings, in the forest, just make it infested with zeds. With it being on an island people wouldn't wander into it by mistake, and those that do would be sent running back to their boat. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Perhaps you could have a single road just packed with zombies, but good loot in the buildings surrounding the street, that way it might be worth it to try to fight through the horde to get the stuff.
