Wookieenoob 191 Posted March 5, 2015 (edited) i'd quite like to see a way to get more than one character going at once on the "public/normal" servers (IE rather than 1 for each type of game IE veteran 1p, normal 1p/3p or private servers. as an example: 1 character who i have fully kitted. done a bit of fighting, got into a few scuffles.1 or 2 characters who are fresh spawns who i am building up i would be able to log out and change characters from a menu if i wanted to. thoughts? my thinking here is that people won't be quite as afraid of a respawn if they can come back to a pre-prepared character anyway.

Max Planck 7174 Posted March 5, 2015 my thinking here is that people won't be quite as afraid of a respawn if they can come back to a pre-prepared character anyway.That exactly, is the problem with it. One should fear death more than anything. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Wookieenoob 191 Posted March 5, 2015 (edited) That exactly, is the problem with it.One should fear death more than anything. when people fear dying they take a route north of berezhki and avoid players forever, people should fear death and not a firefight, and dying should be incidental. distinction between death and pre-death Edited March 5, 2015 by Wookieenoob Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Max Planck 7174 Posted March 5, 2015 Well, we can always agree to disagree. I'm not completely sure what exactly I'm disagreeing with though, people shouldn't fear death, they should fear death?I don't get it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Wookieenoob 191 Posted March 5, 2015 Well, we can always agree to disagree. I'm not completely sure what exactly I'm disagreeing with though, people shouldn't fear death, they should fear death?I don't get it. well once it's happened there's nothing you can do about it. there's no point in worrying about death, but dying is another matter. people are worrying about dying, not having died. i suppose this sort of thing would probably make KOS worse, although i really think there should be more option than an oft-lost tent to give you an edge after dying.

odin_lowe 3686 Posted March 5, 2015 Isn't it already like that? I might not understand what you mean. I currently have 9 different characters. 1 on 3PP public hive, 1 on 1PP public hive, and 7 on various whitelisted/non-whitelisted 1PP or 3PP private servers. I switch to the character I want to play on the fly since they're all on different hives. Of course, I need my memory to remember which toons is on which server, but if it's too much, you can just make a list. I'm very happy with that. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'm very happy with that. right what i mean is on 3pp public hive i click join a server it gives me the choice to add a spawn or spawn with my current character, so i could go fresh without being on a private hive if i wanted. i do the same thing as you do, but i'd like the ability to have multi-vanilla characters.

WolfgangErikson 127 Posted March 5, 2015 (edited) It sounds like you just want to be able to stock up on gear to make your revenge killings easier. Your argument about fearing death versus pre-death is incoherent. I don't fear fire-fights but fear the death that might occur if I execute my plans poorly. That lack of that fear of death (character restart) is what makes for interesting game play. If I knew I could re-spawn as a fully geared player, I could throw caution to the wind and just go in guns-blazing without any regard for battle-strategy. No thanks. Perma-death is an integral part to the DayZ experience; if that were removed, i would stop playing and just go play one of the many other shooters that allow me to re-spawn fully geared.

This seems to fit basically what your looking for - also theres the experimental slots, no shortage of characters you can make really Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
