I see 2 types of players, have a suggestion!

Recommended Posts

I have spent several hours watching people play this game on twitch and it sparked my interest big time. After the first few hours of watching, a lot of social scenarios pop into my head:

"Would I bother going into a town my myself?"

"Should I contact this person up head, kill him, or just walk away quietly?"

"Is it safe for me to try to group up with people around this 'town'"

On and on. The mind games are almost as interesting and fun as the game. Haha, even yesterday I was watching a streamer on twitch (forgot his name) and he was trolling another player who was camping in a building. He threw a grenade into the building the camper was in and attracted easily 20+ zombies which destroyed the camper :D. Hilarious.

I really like the survival aspect of the game, the huge unknown. But I like playing with others. I think the biggest issue I see right now is that people have NO reason to work with anyone else. There is no goal other than to survive as long as possible, which I'm not saying as bad! I would like to see a reason too work with others. Which brings up 2 types of players, the friendly survivor and the loner.

So my idea is for the inclusion of what I'll call "events". Zombie horde stampede all of the sudden comes running over a hill towards electro. Are you alone? You need food, but do you run out of town hoping for better luck elsewhere? Do you stay and fight back? All of the sudden you see other survivors! Do you work with them to drive back the horde so you don't risk moving around the countryside, possible starving or attracting murders?

Or maybe if the population of zombies constantly grows and you need to thin the heard to gain access to resources in the city?

Maybe different servers could have different events.

Just thinking out loud. I've played Arma before and ironically was thinking about buying it about a month ago before my new computer came in before I knew about DayZ.

Any thoughts or concerns with adding events that you regulars can think of?
