Safe zone

[m1lkm8n 61]

So I was reading other posts that people want to make a trading company and trade weapons. The only problem I see with that is every bandit will go there and just try killing everyone and taking their stuff.

So I was thinking how about making a few areas or small towns on the map neutral. The towns can be surrounded by log walls or something and when inside the town you can not raise ur weapons.

Anyway that's my thought.

If u don't like it I really don't care. That's what the suggestion forum is for.

Something a long those lines would be good. Could also fit quite well with my suggestion here: http://dayzmod.com/forum/showthread.php?tid=23463 Imo.

nothing is worth trading for in this game. lol you think people would trade NVGs for anything?>

I think the groups trying to set up serious trading posts make it clear that anyone who behaves aggressively will be shot.

But to comment on your suggestion, the world of DayZ is supposed to be brutal and unforgiving, and the possibility of a trading post being attacked by bandits fits this concept. I like the idea of being able to trade easily, but a safe zone enforced by the game doesn't quite fit.

DayZ is meant to be a hell hole, thus why it's unique in a way where everyone has trust issues, thus the massive PvP.

It's the way it's designed.. I certainly don't see how safe-zones could be implemented properly.

It's also pretty heckteck anywhere, in the costal areas.

Why does this keep being suggested, is there no search function on this forum?

I don't think safe zones are a good idea. At the end of the day the bandits would just camp out near these safe zones and kill people going in or out anyway. At least with a player enforced safe zone you can move it if you need too.

DayZ is about experiencing unique stories, so it would be more immerse if groups of people set up trading points from time to time. But I fear the mod needs more content first before people start doing it.

I love how everyone speaks like they designed the game.

We're pretty much paraphrasing what Rocket has said about the game. Besides, by posting here you effectively asked for our opinions on how this would affect the game.

I don't like safezones, but I do like the idea of trading. Though to add a trade system to Dayz means the spawns would have to be hit even harder, good gear would need to be very uncommon. Otherwise theres nothing to trade for you cant get yourself in a few hours of farming spawns. It's a decision left up to rocket I suppose.

[m1lkm8n 61]

Yea I was thinking about that myself. If certain guns were extremely rare and so forth with items then i think trading would be worth it. Anyway these are just ideas.
