Random Toxic Zones

[Venalan 0]

Exactly as the title says; "Random" means can happen anywhere, size and how often should be made available to the server admin, official servers should use this method also and remove permanent toxic zones and be replaced with random events that can occur anywhere on the map and maybe between 0 - 4 (0=never) times a day and last for max of 1-15 mins this would be a great balance and allow any player to acquire better loot and not have to hunt down NBC items, as for player bases they could acquire NBC clothes in the event of their base  been hit, also a 2-5 minute warning of an imminent threat could occur in a 1km radius via a siren, siren to sound no more than 5-10 second bursts which would only happen on 3 occasions prior to the event happening, which would enable players to get changed into their NBC clothes if they have them available.

The reality of these events would give a better edge of risk and fear to anyone as they will pose more of a risk no matter where you are, but less of a risk in general.

Kind Regards thanks for listening.

Nah, permanent zones are a great addition and collective full NBC to explore them gives players a quest. You can't change into NBC at a moments notice due to storage space limitation. We should keep the permanent zones and make random can be dropped on any town with a warning via walkie talkie.

My suggestion makes it more user friendly across the overall spectrum of players and besides if server admins have the option to choose where or what the toxic zones variables should be, surely that would cater for everyone's needs not just the hardened dayz player, afterall not everyone shares your views on toxic zones, whats needed is a balance and my suggestion would give a balance thats required to please everyone, yes sure keep permanent zones but equally if server wants to lets get rid too, either way there'll be something for everyone.

So that admins can cater to themselves and conjure a toxic zone on demand so they can loot in peace ? This game is very easy at it is. We should be making it harder not easier. The only gear that is restricted by toxic zones is high end military gear so only thing it affects is pvp.

Wait, you want official servers to have an ability to periodically remove gas from the static zones? Wouldn't be a bad thing, but then what's the point of NBC gear if you can just wait it out and go when the zone is clear of gas?

Not a good argument if you ask me, admins can already exploit things as it is now, and if they do then that server isn't worth playing on anyway, adding this wouldn't change admins cheating.

But I do agree on this.
