bent.toe 529 Posted July 21, 2019 (edited) Most likely i will rent a server and my goal is to have two factions on either side of the map, looting, fighting, building with none-faction players also present on the map. https://pasteboard.co/Ip3o5uJ.jpg *Orange team vs Blue team. *Each team can have no more than 22 members. *Each faction can build one massive base inside their territory. *There will be monthly firefights in pre-determend areas from discord chat. *Other players can join and play on the server either as an explorer/friendly or as a bandit or a hero. Friendly explorer = White armband Bandit/outlaw = Red armband Hero/Police = Green armband These three are independent of each other and the two factions. *Players with White armband can not be shot at under no circumstance except if they go rouge. *If a player from any of these three roles decides to join one of the factions (orange or blue) he must put on a yellow armband to show that he can be recruited. He don't have to join blue team if they meet/approach him first, he can choose to pass and wait to be approached by orange team instead. Both Bandits and Heroes will in some way be factions that fight each other. Bandits also fight both blue and orange factions. *Bandits are allowed small tents and barrels only, as bases. *Heroes are allowed all tents and barrels and must build their bases in and around police stations. *Explorers can only use small tents. This is my idea of a great and fun dayz server. Edited July 21, 2019 by bent.toe 5 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Doombringer123 1 Posted July 21, 2019 (edited) Like the idea, there are a few things I'd change though. One being the restrictions on tents/base building for non faction players as it would be to difficult for them to really have an impact on the server. (my opinion) Two being a ceasefire zone where all players can come and meet and trade items and share stories. I think these would encourage making of strong rp server for sure.

The only option would be to have a whitelist then and even then it's going to be hard to police it all. It's not impossible though, there have been DayZ servers (mainly RP servers) where players with similiar minds played by the rules. But having a public/private server without a whitelist is going to make realizing this idea hard. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bent.toe 529 Posted July 22, 2019 It will be private and all players who play on it must be a member of the discord channel. But yeah... No way to keep track of 59 other players and what they do and how they play. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Papa cHris 343 2 Posted July 23, 2019 Same here. Absolutely love the idea. I have a few friends who are like minded and would love to play by the rules you mentioned. Sounds really fun. Invite me when it happens thanks! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ThePugman 280 Posted July 23, 2019 (edited) You should send this post to as many DayZ related social media pages as you can, Reddit, FB, etc. Perhaps mentioning your ideas now, will get you ahead before the over saturation of private server posts. Even if private server tweaking is not as customisable as you would like, you will still be able to recruit likeminded people, who share your vision. You should set up a discord ASAP, so you have somewhere to send people your way, and you can also start more detailed discussions. You will need a lot more than 60 people to be interested due to time zones, and free time restrictions. I don’t think whitelisting a brand new server, is necessarily a good idea. You want to get as much interest as possible, not put up barriers. Once you become more established, you could consider WL. Perhaps a good start, would be a more regular server, but with your ideas as weekly events? Good way to gauge interest, and to see how achievable it will be.

Djyoz 34 Posted July 23, 2019 Hopefully there will be some great private servers like there is on the PC im all for it and im sure there is plenty of players out there for this type of RP or organised rules type servers Awesome stuff!! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You set up rules for your server. What people can and can't do etc. First you of course invite your friends and then rest you fill with 'randoms' but you make sure they understand the rules first, make a post here at forums example. Make a list. Ban people if you must, let next ones in. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bent.toe 529 Posted July 28, 2019 I been thinking for a few days. Should we pitch in and have an official community server instead? I see two problems though, only one person can be admin and secondly, not everyone want's to play it the same way with rules etc. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
