Making our own camps?

[SShady187 13]

Me and my friend went back and forth on building camps, ideas of it would be like 1) Depending on how many people are helping the bigger you could make the camp? 2) How much scraps you have 3) If they save? 4) Can you raid camps / Destroy?... Just throwing it up in the air.

None of what you just said makes sense?

I think Shady may have been getting at the same kinda idea I had about "player made towns". A player made camp which could be built by players at any location and defended. Kinda like a player erected safe zone. Am I right?

A good start to what you suggest is the ability to make a stash. This would tie survivors to a general area. Groups of players could place their stashes in the same general area. Perhaps a group of survivors could create a large stash that would be more persistent.

Why we must be lucky enough to find a tent in order to save anything off the body makes little sense to me. Putting stuff in a hollow log or stump would be quite easy. Digging a hole with a number of implements would also be easy. Of course, this might cause lag issues if done to often.

The next step up would be to create a lean-to or shack. All of these would be available for theft of course.

This entire area will need to be explored to add definition to the later part of the game. Right now once you get well equipped there is nothing to do but PK.

what i meant was like for....

1) The more people you have helping you build your camp the better your camp can be, fences-tents-fires-mg nest(just an idea on that one)

2) Depending on what type of scraps meaning , Wood (for the fence/Tents(To make bigger for resting purposes( I couldn't think of what other materials to use)), Metal ( For MG Nest)

3) I just put "If they save" because if X amount of people have camps going and they do save. it kind of makes the server run a little bit harder.

4) Raiding / Destroying Camps if you Raid or Destroy a camp you get a portion of it. (Depending on how big the camp was)

But yea, Safe zones in a sense. when people start working together. Co-op kinda sense alot of people love playing with there friends. i think it would change the game play in a sense

going a bit in depth there. Will be minecraft before you know it. Standard base camp spawn in would probs work the best as it's offered in Arma2 multiplayer when you buy in the extra kit like the machine gun nests and mortars etc.

Ive never played Minecraft?

[baq99 0]

maybe you should :) It's just people building exactly what they want by using loads of different materials. Roughly what you were describing there.

[SShady187 13]

lol.. off topic though, what do you think is to in depth. thats what i meant in a sense

I like the idea to have an area you could fall back on and get stuff from, how would you get in its not like you could defend it always maybe you could use a key or something to get in or type a code I don't know but you would need a way to seal it off when your not there.

Hence building fences then having like a gate (I've seen some post on locks being brought up, so you could lock the gate).. But thats where the Co-op play comes in it's your area but still you need to go out to find things but u could attack other peoples places for your own wood or such to build up your own... Like i said though im just kickin ideas , because hell if it did come down to what this game really is. id have my own camp. would you?
