Strongholds

I know base camps have already been mentioned as well as tents. But how about creating strongholds. Any zombie we see that's the main goal, but that' isn't really something that can be done in Dayz. What if a couple of buildings could be turned into strongholds. Somewhere people could go to trade weapons and gear, maybe a safe place, it could be barricaded from zombies for awhile but people have to keep fixing it up to ensure it doesn't get overrun. So the players have to work together in a sense. You can meet here and maybe go out in groups look for supplies which would still be limited. Like The Walking Dead, they have a safe place but still have to protect that from other humans who are aholes. So maybe the stronghold could be an existing building or buildings on the map but maintain some type of integrity that you see the % of. If it fails and is overrun it can be fixed but it would take people coming together to clear it from zombies and fortify it again.

I like the idea of looking for supplies and I get if I die I lose all of that. I'm fine with that, but like any zombie movie or show everyone comes together, some ruin it but I think helping build this into the mod would be cool. Again just using building already there but giving a place people and try to hold, maybe it will only hold for a few days or week until the zombies take over, maybe people in the stronghold will get greedy and ruin it, but I think this would work.

1. Other people have already had this suggestion, please use the search function before posting.

2. You can already do this sort of thing using barricades

Oh ok, thanks. How are you already doing this with barriacades? Do they stay when you log-off or stay with different servers?

They stay until server crash.

Doesn't stop people server teleporting inside though.

Yeah we started to do this, we put down barbed wire, tank traps all around our camp, started sandbagging the inside of the barbed wire, making a proper base with a disguised entrance with a very slight gap between some barbed wire which only we knew about to get in/out then we realised how pointless it is.

It's in a place that zombies can't get to anyway because they don't roam where it is, and players that stumble upon it will just log off, into a different server, walk forward 10 feet then log out and back onto your server. Bingo they're inside the walls.

It's a shame because it could be a class feature. Especially if two factions go to war raiding each others bases and having firefights there, trying to find a way in etc.
