two-tier game...quick launch and full

[siddhi 0]

After realizing that I don'T actually have the time to play DayZ properly, I had the following idea...

..why not make a separate map (say, Utes) to a dedicated quick-launch PvP experience? Players could spawn with shotguns and get right into their PvP bloodlust.

I would suggest having 2-3 massive spawn points for heavy gear that effectively would work as "capture the flag" points, attracting players and making them want to "hold" it against superior numbers.

The "quick launch" (but persistent) idea has a couple of advantages.

1.) Provides a "quick fix" for those looking for some quick Z-killing or PvP action, not hours of roleplaying

2.) Moves to purse PvP players off the general map into a contained area.

3.) provides for a "sandbox" to test certain bits of gear

4.) provides a sustainable model for if and when DayZ becomes a regular game, but still wants to offer a "free" option...

what do you think?

the fun in killing players is that youre very invested and are killing players who are very invested in their shit. thanks for trying to help though.

it would be good to have the chance to let loose every now and then, be it PvP, full on zombie slaying or testing ideas.. though really, i think that would detract from what the game is about

my suggestion would be that you use the same character from the RPG, but stats aren't saved for that session

- i think for a PvP player shooting people is its own reward...and the average amount of gear in the "light" version would actually be higher then in the "full" version. The very small size of Ute would mean confrontation would be frequent. it would be nice also to get the PvP freaks onto their own server config.

- i would NOT use the same character profile for the light version, especially as the "light" version should be get all heavily tooled up pretty quickly. This is supposed to be a quick-and-dirty 1h entertainment option, for those who can'T invest hours on hand wandering around Chernarus looking for matches. And did I mention it gets rid of the PvP freaks...
