Just So Everyone Knows (end game)

[Catalogue 39]

Ok so i saw a few people posting about the end game of Day Z (not major amounts, but a few) and i decided to post a thread rather than writing this out 10 times.

On the homepage of dayzmod.com it says:

Step One: Scavenge

Step two: Slay

Step Three: Survive

therefore, by having slay (with bandits and zombies showing up) the Day Z developers consider an objective of the game to kill eachother.

that is all. useless, naturally, but i wanted to point it out to seem clever and observant <3

See my sig

[outlawxxable 10]

no one does step 3

well... if you weren't meant to kill other survivors, why is there a feature in the game which allows you to kill other survivors at all?

if there wasn't such a threat of banditry, the game would be pretty boring. PVP (or just the threat of PVP) is like 99% of the fun.

[Vanglory 72]

OH HAY I TOTALLY AGREE WITH YOU.

This. Remove the PVP threat and you have a very large - BRACE YOURSELVES - L4D

END GAME literally means the game ends.. or more spefically this life

even L4D2 has V's

[FrostDMG 398]

even L4D2 has V's

Yeah but infected didn't have weapons.

Plus it was kinda crappy :/

[P5ykoOHD 63]

End game is death ... some reach it within seconds, and for others it takes dayz ...

Spawn = Start

Death = End

Is there anything complicated in that ?

The notion of "End Game" it's self in a "Sand Box" type game is oblivious, really don't understand why people are obsessed with this notion of "end game".

Like wow you have AS50, and all the loot you want, well GG, you are only making a bigger target of yourself, and also self mutilating alot of fun you could possibly be having simply cause you are too paranoid to lose that loot ...

/ End rant.

Edit: Cause it's fun to add colours :P

Oh come on... So are my fists weapons too? >_>

[Bigtaff 23]

Rocket has said "endgame" will be factions fighting each other. Base building is the first step.

[gizm0 96]

nope end game is survive, also killing other players is mid-game and even than it doesn't say kill other survivors.

[FrostDMG 398]

There is no real end-game.

What's "end-game" in life? - you DIE

[noobfun 87]

technically ..yes :P

do you have projectile fists though? theres a reason i went with ranged projectile atatcks and left out, sitting on someones head and jumping around like angry spiderman on acid

[FrostDMG 398]

Nah unfortunately I don't :(

[noobfun 87]

so surivors are no longer classed as player? confusticated much?

ITT people who don't know what end-game is.

It's what you do when you have a developed char. In every game with any development of your character, whether it's items or skills, there is an end-game. Here you just get the top items in the mid-game and there is nothing else to do. So people just pvp. That's the end-game of dayz. Deathmatch with military grade weapons in a group.

You can't say that surviving is the end game of dayz because that would be just making a tent and filling it with water bottles and food and just staring at it.

If that's the way you see it then this may not be the game for you

He is, essentially, right. Rocket has said that they're working on more end-game oriented content and tools. Such as constructing underground bases and factions.

With that comes more options. Say putting bounties on bandits, faction warfare, equipment manufacturing and trading, stealing from other players etc. Notoriety might come into play so that famous characters, such as a doctor or player killer or bandit hunter or trader might become more recognizable.

All speculation, but this seems like the direction DayZ is headed in.

There was some talk about radios, that could bring player run radio stations. That'd be hilarious.

But to think that DayZ in its current state is much more than scavenging, fixing a vehicle or two and then turning to PvP is just wearing fangoggles. Though it is a sandbox game, so there are a few 'pranks' you could pull. Axemurdering, taxi driving, kidnapping, etc.

What do I see? What are you going to do after you are in a group of 5 you all have ghillies, cars and a camp full of military loot? There is no more point in looting anything. So what else are you gonna do other than using it?

Technically Yes ...

however this is a sandbox type game.

You character only has 1 life, therefor, Death is the end of the game.

What you do from when you spawn to when you die doesn't really define what "end game" really is ... because with my 20 second old character, I could kill a guy who considers himself "end game" following your very description, and what ? Does that make me a 30 second old character a "end game" character ?

I doubt.

Like in any other game where you only live once, the end is your death, then you start over.
