Grouping Feature

[jay.pis 32]

Ok, so with so many people looking for a solution to the bandit issue or shoot first ask questions later here's a suggestion that could aleviate some of the tension when meeting another person.

Keep in mind that players with the intent to shoot on sight will shoot on sight no matter what so that can't be helped but this is more for situations when a player might seem friendly at first but has the intent to shoot you in the back while grouping up.

Basically the suggestion is to implement a "group" feature that lets players form a group that removes friendly fire only within that group. What happens is that a group can then invite another player and that means that they won't be able to shoot each other. Now this doesn't mean that the group is safe but this feature can help give an early warning for when the player removes himself from the group which could mean that they might have the intention to attack. To go even further with that is that players need to request to be removed from the group so that the group can prepare for any bad intentions.

So that's pretty much it, let us know if this is something of a good feature or not or if anyone has another suggestion to improve it or maybe a completely different suggestion.

Yeah so this is pretty much just someone who wants the game to tell them when they're about to get backstabbed...

Crappy suggestion, learn to stand on your own two feet.

It's a suggestion and it's not for me personally, learn to read and take a chill pill.

And its a crappy one, and of course its not for you personally, how would you ever come up with a thing like this then? :o

Oh...I don't know, maybe because there are so many threads that suggests similar features so maybe I kinda just sat here and thought hey I think I have a suggestion and wanted to share it and see what others thought, just maybe. :thumbsup:

But it's cool, forums wouldn't be any fun without peeps like you. :beans:

And of course you couldn't have replied to one of the gazillion threads, one of which was actually on the front page before you posted this crap, because you decided to crowd this forum with more sillyness right?

Awww, is your thread not getting the attention you want little man?

Friendly fire should remain on at all time. But having the ability to form a group with a group leader would allow players to capitalise on the squad system that arma already offers.

And thank you for your input and I agree that since there is already a squad system with Arma 2 it would be a nice feature to be activated in DayZ as well.

And I do see that there is another thread with the same topic, would be good to merge them.

I think you might like my idea Morale it deals with the same trust issues but isn't so restrictive. I don't think we should be imposing a certain way of playing the game.

I agree with a grouping system of some form and have been saying that for a long time. But this is not the application for this type of system.

I would love a group feature that allows friends in the same group to at least respawn in the same area. This would be nice as long as friendly fire is still enabled.

being able to group up would be the icing on the cake for dayz

As long as there are neither magical markers/status screens that show you the condition and whereabouts of your groupmates nor invulnerability(like disable friendly fire) I fully support grouping. Spawning together would be "convenient" but it really isnt that hard to find one another (either respawn till you are near each other or just meet at a predefined location).
