acidcloud 3 Posted December 30, 2013 think it would be good to have a specific topic on this for discussion What is Player Life Value? - Specific skills built over time within game and lost if you die (thats not just gear that you can find for free in game) - Skill sets are of value to individual players but also to groups Why Life Value is important to aspirations of DAYZ - Fully understand that game is in pre-Alpha but standalone has become and attracting a griefer mentality. - Building player life value has 2 main effects or questions - - Do I kill the guy and steal his stuff / blood -- or do I recruit the guy as he /she has beneficial skills what kind of skills sets could be developed - Cooking - Clothes / Tailor - Building / Structures / fences - Hunting - Inventor / Mechanical / electrical - Medical / Doctor 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

acidcloud 3 Posted December 30, 2013 (edited) No PVP is not griefing but does allow griefing. But thats not the point I am trying to make, which is that to lift the game above a FPS type of game a player must be able to develop Life Value over just the gear they carry. Humans really only co-operate because its beneficial, ie you have skills that I would find beneficial so we team up . Right now teaming is for either defence or exercising force over others, this is fine as these aspects would exist in a post apocalyptic world but there has to be more value to a player life value to the gear or blood you have Edited December 30, 2013 by acidcloud Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

acidcloud 3 Posted December 31, 2013 I agree with both your comments , I want your beanz too.Cannibalism is a good idea but should carry infection risk. But true co-op has to be founded on mutual benefit - your beanz or your corpse have little long term co-op interest for me hence KOS ( in groups or singly) and grab what you can is all we can do for know. - I know there are some hero groups around as well trying to play ethically within current gaming boundaries - Also some hero bandit killing groups too - Then there is the guy who has so little that its worth the risk to try to take what some one else has thats ok too Dont get me wrong I love the game (so far) I am just eager for more depth of play, I have loads of FPS and looking for something more, hence my investment in buying Standalone.
