Special "event" that I think should encourage base building more

[TheWizard14 372]

So basically after base building gets implemented and has it's nooks and crannies all fixed and figured out (which will probably be a while from now), this is an idea that I had that should encourage people to base build so that death matching after getting fully geared isn't the objective:

 

 

Randomly every hour or every few hours there should be this random call sign or distant roars (can change) that will indicate the player that a huge massive horde of zombies is going to come. 

 

The zombies will basically swarm the military places and the major cities, so that people aren't constantly out there. This will either

 

A. Force the players to flee the cities or military bases into the forest

 

or 

 

B. You can start to construct barricades and walls to protect yourself if you are in said area.

 

Now this is just an idea that I had and I haven't really thought it out. One flaw that I can think of is people just server hoping if they hear a horde coming so that they don't have to deal with it and I'm sure there are many more.

I like it!

Can you put this in the suggestions section?

This might be the best way to have large numbers of zombies.

Sorry but I've read this idea thousand of times. It is cool but hard to make.

 

Can you put this in the suggestions section?

Don't do it. Firstly search for similar topics.

I wonder if its possible to just make dedicated servers to your character. Example world of Warcraft you can create a new guy on each server but cant hop back and forth between servers.

Great. Its a better chance for devs to see it methinks if its in the suggestions thread.

Some people will say its too similar to left for dead game but i really think it would give us the feeling of fighting for survival.

Great idea man.

That should be constant, not special event. All high loot locations should be swarmed with zombies. So, you either do looting stealt (crawling on belly for an hour) or you go with team with asoult rifles. Now looting military bases is walk in the park.

Was I the only one expecting to read about emissions?

Only in the DayZ universe / community is crawling on your belly carrying a 40 pound backpack and a fully packed assault vest and cargo pants considered the most stealthy way of moving about. 

 

How about just sneaking. Like as in moving real careful and slow.

 

Crawling around in prone position is pointless in the middle of a town unless you're maneuvering past a very low concealment so as not to be seen. You are no less visible lying in the middle of the road than standing on it (EDIT: unless someone is looking up at you from the base of a hill, obviously...)

I wonder if its possible to just make dedicated servers to your character. Example world of Warcraft you can create a new guy on each server but cant hop back and forth between servers.

 

The only difference between these games is that DayZ has 40 players in server where WoW has thousands.

If your server is either full or empty, you cannot play. 

 

But what we will have is kind of "home" servers, the servers where you have put up your tents and barricades etc.

It will be possible we call it private servers.

What if then the servers came up as more people came on like for instance. there are 200 people logged in playing dayz. only 8 servers or so are up then as more people log on more servers come on. the only problem I could see with that is ping issues.

 

Note: idk if this is even possible so im just making a suggestion lol
