an objective for the players

Recommended Posts

A person needs objectives in the game, they need to know that if they are doing something, they are doing it to get somewhere.

If there is no goal for the player, but just to walk around collecting stuff and survive, i think the player will get bored quite soon and start killing other players just because there is nothing else to to.

If there is a common goal, people will be more likely to form a group. My ideas are:

 

-For example trying to find a cure for the zombie desease (maybe collecting various medicines and clues throughout the map, having a player act as a doctor and the other ones protecting him), but making it very difficult and very long (ex. 200 in game days).

 

-Another example, people need to survive for a limited time waiting for rescue (also a very very long time, one year? so that they are encoureged to build bases and team up to survive from the zombie hordes or other groups).

 

-Increase by a lot the number of zombies and to have them walking in hordes (trying to escape them will divide groups and it will be a challange to reform them).

 

-Adding mini-games in the world

 

I really like the game, but all of my friends stop playing it after one week because they got bored, also i think it will prevent kos

(ex. 200 in game days).

200 days in game is 200 days in real life. cx

is that how a real life zombie apocalypse would be? would there be"minigames" scattered around so you could just take a break from surviving to go play them? the whole point of the game is to survive, that is the objective. we don't need to give it another one. Also, they plan on adding more zombies, this is one of rockets top priorities.

 

If you really want to though, team up with friends and you can play your own minigames you invent (such as soccer once ragdoll is implemented) or come up whith your own objective (see who can run across berezino and back and live, or something stupid like that :) )

This is why banditry is so much fun. Messing around with people who take this game seriously makes the game WAY better for people who like to troll.

No point in finding a 'cure'.  The remaining population is Immune to the Zombie virus, and I would think the infected are too far gone to successfully cure with medicine rather than a .22 to the back of the head.

There's no 'Government' or rescuing body around to wait for rescue, this is weeks to months after the infection 'won'.  It's also been stated many times that there will not be any NPCs other than zombies or animals.

 

This game is what you make of it, if you want to remake the UN, going around giving survivors food and water and hunting down bandits, you're free to do so.

I just think the game would be so much better with people having objectives other that just fooling around.. honestly, dont you guys get bored after you've got all geared up? i just go "now what?".

my search for the cure was just an example but they can make anything up, if not having an end to the game at least introduce something like this guy has already proposed and i think his is a good idea: http://forums.dayzgame.com/index.php?/topic/179412-retrieve-assist-gather-missions-please-add-your-ideas/

Bored people are boring.

Challenge yourself! Make up your own quest. I got one for you: get into fist fights until you are dead. Then see how geared you can get by only looting off of other players! Fun!
