Deathmatch disposal?

[aMeiSe 12]

Hello hello there!

 

I thought of how it's possible to get rid of deathmatch gameplay in dayz without disappointing those players eventhough I dont like this kind of gamestyle. I had the idea of 2 different game modes in dayz.

 

- the normal survival gamemode, find food drinks clothes, group up, rob other people with handcuffs etc and go on to another place - how the game should work!

- and the second one, yes we could directly call it dayz deathmatch with own maps. for example you have a server with a mappool of elektro, berezino airfield of balota etc. i know this would just be like call of duty but a lot of people like the combination of survival and shooting. so why not?

 

this game mode would attract those people who just sit in the bush and wait for anything that moves to shoot. seriously, i have no other idea of how to get rid of them. so if you start the game and search a server in the serverlist you see the mapnames DM_Elektro, DM_Berezino etc or the whole map as we know it Chernarus so nobody of them would join the server with the whole map running would they? :D

 

isn't this something worth discussing?

Not a bad idea, but i think when the game is done and everything is working and put into the game, like getting sick, cooking, base,hunting, the death match will stop, or will not be as bad. I think right now its bad bc there is nothing else to do in the game yet.

Good idea. Beans to you, sir.

Another fix i see is to make it to where you can spawn in every town on the map it would do two things. 1- Stop death match, bc it will be harder to just kill your self and get right back in the fight after you have died. 2- It will spread people out all over the map and not just putting them right on top of each other on the coast

[haknslash 763]

I really think that if they changed the spawns to be all over the map and at random then it would cut down drastically on the PvP deathmatch fest that is going on now. i'm sure in the future we will be spawning all over the map and not just around the coast.

 

But I do like the idea of a PvP Deathmatch only server and make it so that it's limited to one of the large cities. Maybe have like a "map rotation" of each large city upon each server restart? That way the only thing that spawns in those servers is the loot in the city and it would change up the gameplay/scenery a bit. I would also imagine this would free up some performance as well if a server didn't hav to spawn loot over the large map and only ballistic loot on PvP Deathmatch servers.

They can just go play Wasteland...they don't even have to spend 25€ for the game and ArmA 2 has 999% less bugs and glitches!!!!

good idea!

i think dayz doesnt need something like this. even though the KOSers annoy me, it is a game play element

sorry OP your idea is actually really good they should just put game modes like that in. but they won't and I'm afraid even with the addition of features it'll still be deathmatch. what they need to do as well is cut loot in half or even have a 1/3 of the amount of loot. getting geared is too easy and its too easy to find a gun hell even with fists its to easy to knock folks out. but its alpha as you will hear I'm sure enough times to make you vomit. again good ideas but we'll never be rid of the COD kiddies/FPS shooter d-bags.

We had this in the mod with the "spawn with sniper/pistol/nuclear bomb" servers.

 

 

 

but nothing changed.

[gannon46 788]

i honestly think zeds being fixed and the simple turning on of the diseases would make most folks butt hurt.but we have to wait and wait some more. like the tortoise and the hare this game.  

[BeefBacon 1185]

If people want to deathmatch on small maps they can play Call of Duty, or Red Orchestra, or Battlefield, or something. Making a whole new gamemode solves absolutely nothing. People don't deathmatch in DayZ because DayZ is a good game to deathmatch on - they do it either to get gear or because they're already geared and they're bored.

 

An idea like this might have some merit as a mod for Arma, a bit like the Battle Royale mod... but beyond that, I fail to see the point.

I think you right there. There's deathmatch now because, first there is nothing else to do, second because it's pretty easy to get geared so you don't care too much of dying...

 

In the future, when people will need much more effort and time, first to make their character survive, second to geared him maybe we'll see many less loonies running to Electro for deathmatch and lose it all.

Frankly, I don't see the difference. People play DayZ because they want survival. Deathmatching is caused by fear, by threat... which is part of survival aspect. Yes, I do hate KoS-ing, but seperate gamemods won't change a thing. What we need is a) fixing loot tables so that guns and, most of all, ammo is scarce; b ) randomized spawnpoints. It shouldn't be coastline only, but even more inland.

I don't think you understood what attract people who DM. And it's certainly not a fair fight. They won't go play CoD and they certainly won't go on servers that are made specifically for that purpose.

I don't think I'd ever choose the DM server even though PvP in DayZ is one of the main aspects that keep me playing.

first of all, how would someone rob another person without anything to threat them with?

 

Do you want to turn this game into a wow with zombies? for fucks sake, if you dont want pvp, go play WoW or hello kitty online.

 

 

From now on, for every time i read KoS or DeathMatch on these forums, i'll log in and kill 5 bambies on the back after offering them food.

calm down youngster

 

it was a suggestion and i am not convinced of this modes also but it came to my mind, if you dislike it keep your beans and contribute to something else as im trying to do so to the game.

thx

Hopefully this suggestion never happens. Divides the playerbase. I want every single type of player on every server. It's what makes the game so much more than an ordinary shooter. Arma doesn't give the same feel as dayz(yes I play both)
