Method (DayZ) 5 Posted July 20, 2012 (edited) Reading the top comment of things discussed in Rockets most most recent stream, I've been thinking a lot of how bases would really work in DayZInstances:He says these bases would be in another "instance". What exactly does that mean? Does that mean the "entry point" to a base would be somewhere in chernarus that YOU designate? Say, in your camp somewhere? What would these entry points look like? A bunker door?Creating the base:"Another instance" meaning, you find this entry point (or create it, if you're the base creator) and it loads, what exactly? Some kind of, "base editor" program? Or you use a "shovel" or something and flesh out the earth much like Terraria or Minecraft? Surely you'd have a limit on how large your base can be. Instead of having users create their own base layout, at least for now as an introductory system to experiment with, maybe have all bases have the same layout? So you create the base, go in it, it's already made for you, maybe a big room, or 2, and there you have it. All bases would be the same. More efficient that way too.Server Efficiency:So then, where are these "other instances" hosted? The same server? Sounds inefficient depending on how many bases and what's in the base/how many people are on the server. Don't get me wrong, I would absolutely love bases to be in DayZ. However, I'm thinking a feature so expansive would have to wait till DayZ is standalone.Base Raiding:How epic would it be to find, not only someones camp with maybe some vehicles, tents, and then you see a glorious door, or a hatch on the ground. You and your team climb down to find a huge fleshed-out base filled with guns, food, equipment, and of course, the clan's members. How rewarding would it be to get all of that equipment after killing off the clan?More discussion also on reddit. Thought I'd post it here too.

chickenfeed 17 Posted July 20, 2012 Instance means it's not part of any server, it creates its own area for players to use. So, for example, I enter the underground base on EU7, you enter the base on US56 and we can both see each other. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ozjace 35 Posted July 20, 2012 Underground no, too much strain I think. Too much batman fever for you. Bases maybe, Cut down trees, broken cars scrap yards with wire? Maybe..Traps? etc Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
