Coralis Michelle 0 Posted September 7, 2018 So, when base building gets added will the servers be independent from each other so that you can only play on one server in hopes that bases won't get overlapped. and so players can't keep server hopping to get loot on low pop servers?

Skruffy 167 Posted September 7, 2018 There is no base building in DayZ. You can board windows and fortify doors on existing buildings, but you couldn't say fortify the entire military base. You could fortify the door on the barracks and board the windows, but you can break them. This is why base building/fortifying is not part of this game. Your survival is dependant on loot. And if you have big bandit tribes hoarding military base on a server, well there are 399 other servers. This is why base building isnt a main priority. I think it's meant for other games. Not DayZ. I would understand it if zombies could break down doors, but at the moment they cannot. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Coralis Michelle 0 Posted September 7, 2018 (edited) In their frequently asked questions forum they had said they plan to add base building and vehicles before full release of the xbox one dayz game preview Edited September 7, 2018 by Coralis Michelle Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

But the base building isnt like ark/conan/minecraft bases. Base building in this game is fortifying windows and doors. But still I dont mind either way, I just dont wanna run across a 10+ bandit squad hoarding a military base. That is the fear of this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The Devs released concept art of base building and it was way more than simply boarding Windows. We'd be able to build fences, place sand bags, create guard towers, put up tents, etc. It was very much like ark. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
droefheid 53 Posted September 7, 2018 I know we are talking about the standalone here, but wasn't there base building in the mod? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Bases and persistent items are and will be bound to their individual servers and not switch with the player. 6 hours ago, Bombarding said: There is no base building in DayZ.

I would understand it if zombies could break down doors, but at the moment they cannot. There is real base building planned, including fences, barriers, towers and tents. Base building is a main priority. The fortification system you are talking about is planned as well, but will be delayed. But don't worry about the base building becoming like rust/ark/ce etc, we want to keep it authentic and on the ground-level. 14 minutes ago, droefheid said: I know we are talking about the standalone here, but wasn't there base building in the mod? Base building is in the mod, yes. Another reason, to bring it back, it is part of the DayZ experience. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Could be good, but then again, could be awful. I agree with the other posters here, army bases.. people would just build here.. They could have 'sacred ground' where you're not allowed to build, I guess.. i want tents and barrels first.. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Rest assured that our designers are aware of most of the designs in other survival titles and their consequences on gameplay and possible abuses. And of course tents/barrels will return first and be the easiest to start your base/camp with. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
