Character Specs / Custom Classes

[bryanslegend 0]

       I feel as if a new way to make gameplay in DayZ more interesting would be to add Character Specs. What I mean by this is by adding Strength, Agility, Gun Skill, and so on. Having this would not only make it interesting to have different specs for each character in the group, but it would also add variety in PVP and PVE.

 

      Examples:
 

• Strength: +Melee Damage, +Weight Capacity, *You can also take more melee hits., etc.
• Agility: +Running/walking speed, +Running distance before getting thirsty/hungry, etc.
• Gun Skill/Training: +Better accuracy with Guns, etc.

       And you could also have more, such as Slickness: Which would be quieter footsteps and so on.
 

       But to not make players over-powering, you could make it so that if I have 100% Strength, then my Gun Skill/accuracy would be lowered drastically, making me shoot mostly off the target. This would make it so you need to choose the percentages wisely.

 

        Example:

 

• Strength 90%
• Agility 5%
• Gun Skill/Training 5%

​        *In this class, you would be very strong, and be able to take a more hits with Melee hits than usual, and can carry more items (If they implement a weight system), and your character would look very muscular. But, you wouldn't run as fast, and your shooting skill would be inaccurate/bad. This would make it so that you CAN NOT make an over powered character.

 

       More information: You would choose your specs as you create your character obviously, and by changing around the specs it could also depict how your character looks. More specs would be added (obviously) such as Intelligence and so on. Tell me what you guys think!

Eh..i feel like, i -could- like this idea, but the way you worded it made me not want it. I want anything like levels to stay as far away from my dayz as possible.

I think it should be more like if you shoot more zombies, your shooting skill goes up.
