NPC's

[lostnthought247 5]

I am sure this is already suggested many times but the search function seems to not find anything - or bugging out.

 

I would like to see some NPC's about the world. List of possible suggestions

   -Survivor enclaves

   -Wilderness survivors (friendly or not)

  - Zed Hunting Packs

  - Wounded, starving, or otherwise needy people

  - Remnants of Civil Authority Forces - police/military characters

Standalone is based on soley player interaction,

beside zombies and animals there should never be any other npcs.

Maybe in a modded version of the SA someone would mod them in,but concerning the main game,never.

Dean "Rocket" Hall has explicitly stated he will never plan to included NPCs to DayZ. Zombies and animals will be the only inhuman entities populating the landscape.

 

When private servers and crap mods come out for DayZSA, you can expect to see plenty of mods adding AI survivors/bandits/et cetera so 5 year olds renting servers with their mom's credit cards don't feel so lonely.

Good to know that this is not within the intention of the producers. Thanks for the feedback. That said I think it is a bit regretful. In the 10 min this post has been up it already had 11+ views implying some general interest in the idea of NPC. And just to be clear, NPC are not about "feeling lonely" they are about adding depth and atmosphere to the environment. In reality people would hold up in areas far more then players do in game (boring to stay stationary as player). NPCs would allow a way to including a more realistic range of human reactions in such an environment not to mention add opportunity for plot for sandbox fun.

 

But of course... there is always someone with nothing better to do in their life then be a condescending #@! on forums.. way to go applejax :)

11 views in that much time doesn't mean people are interested; it means there's some lurkers hanging around and likely most of those views were people with the same opinions of Damnyourdead and I, who decided it not worth posting as we've already expressed their concerns.

Players would pillage and harass them in every possible way.

DayZ's nature can't allow god-mode on anyone or anything.Everything is a target ingame.

So if something like that was to be implemented you would propably be seeing npc piles of corpses

infected and healthy alike.Regardless,final verdict is that they would take a very large toll on player immersion and game authenticy which is something that DayZ strives for.

The majority of the DayZ community shares the same mindset and is very negative against the implementation of NPCs.

It has been discussed a thousand times,and members tend to start a forum massacre against the OP.But you are new,so i suggest you use the search function on the top right to find more content about your ideas before you post.

Thanks again for all the feedback. understand where you are coming from but being able to slaughter the NPC's would be half the fun of it lol. But reality is it seems its just never going to happen so no point pressing the issue :) as far as searching goes, if you refer to my initial post I was having load issues with search function.

I've actually had to stop coming to the forums because the ceaseless posts for things present in every other game drive me insane. I'm really starting to have serious apprehensions about the game's popularity because with that popularity comes an influx of requests for leveling systems, NPC's, ridiculous weapons and vehicles, and every other gaming cliche that has been rammed down the gaming community's gullet over the past decade and a half. Different is not bad folks, just let this game develope appropriately and you won't be dissapointed...and if you are then there are literally hundreds of other games that encorporate all those cookie-cutter ideas for you.

as mentioned by applejaxc, there will be no NPS´s in the game, only players, zombies, and stuff.

Perhaps someone will mod it into the game after release, but i truly doubt it will ever be part of the base game mate :)

As mentioned above, theres alot of things telling us they dont intent on putting any NPC's in the game.
