The Ultimate Goal

[edonovan 15]

How about implementing a system similar to vehicles on the servers. But instead of vehicles, you have randomly spawned parts and must build a boat to escape chernarus (I know there are already boats, but that is not the point).

There would be a certain number of parts scattered throughout the land, hull pieces, outboard motor, fuel and tank, etc. Players would have to lug the parts to the beach, assemble them, and then could leave.

This encourages cooperation, as each part would take up most of your inventory / pack slots - teamwork would make the process much faster. It could also support banditry as someone could just kill you and take the parts you have for themselves, or simply find where you are hiding them and steal them.

Then we just need to add to the leaderboards the number of times players have escaped chernarus.

SO, a quest? A goal? Nope. This is survival. Theres no winning no end. Just death. You can never win, you will always die (Unless you log on and log out forever, or hide in the woods and do nothing) but if you actually do stuff. You will die. No need for a goal. The goal of Dayz is to see how long you can survive not to get off the island in a boat, if that was the case I would jump in the water when I spawn and start swimming.

I took your Idea and spun around with it until I brought it to a new Level. Check out Niemands "Level Two!"! :D

+1 This man gets the idea of survival.

There is no winning. Only Death.

Dude.

We already have the idea of survival in Real Life. No winning. Just death.

Now this is a computergame. Something where we can step away from our sad ending RL and aim for a goal.

Not having a goal in a game is like... like... well I could just simply go outside the house (ewww!) and wander around or go clubbing instead of gaming.

Dude. Naw.

Still like the Idea even with those depressing and pessimistic replies.
