Special Events ? - ie Halloween etc

Hi Rocket/Dayz Team, have you thought about special events that effect the entire map or possibly just locations, ie Cherno or something. Perhaps a server wide message that the zombies have massed and are herding through %insert name here%. This does not need to occur often but perhaps on special occasions, anniversarys etc or game milestones.

Some ideas could include -

Survivors must hold the Power Plant at Cherno, or defend Devil's castle. If a zombie reachs a designated point, event over. Zombies 1, Survivors 0.

To encourage people to participate you could have the zombies involved in these events carry more than usual or even rarish loot.

The events could vary from defend a location to even take a location from an area that has been modified to include a shitload of zombies, that respawn quicker than normal, this might encourage survivors to band up to try and take the location.

Or special modified zombies, they come from the ground, they march as a herd to specific location. I remember watching one of the Walking Dead episodes where there is a skidload of zombies all marching together over the hill towards the farmhouse the people are staying in. They were literally overwhelmed. This could bring value to the entrenching kits, barb wire etc, we could actually try and defend a specific location.

Anyway, just a few thoughts, not sure what people think.

Haha an afterthought, what about an option to spawn as a zombie, your only role in life is to hunt survivors, you only get the special benefits and attacks that the zombies have, this includes their super movement speed etc. This only occurs during events though but it could add depth to the take or defend location ideas.

I'd be happy with zombies wearing pumpkins on their heads.

And maybe replacing vehicles with giant spiders with tank turrets for the lolz.

FOR THE LOLZ.
