Will Dayz ever have a main goal?

[MrTrees 0]

Hello everyone,

My name is Chris or MrTrees and dayz is a great mod I love it but what is the main goal? Well atm there is none its just get supplies get guns team up and die and start all over agian. So I think there should be a leveling system or some other type of main goal cause after a while you will run out of stuff to do, or gather. So a leveling system that will let you reload faster or somthing along those lines you might not even get any perks just a main goal besides the basics of gathering stuff.

My suggestions are to add somthing along those lines just a thought. : ]

Thank you for your time and consideration ahead of time.

No.

Edit: That was rude of me, sorry. But no, there is no goal to the game. If you must think of one to play a game, think about survival.

There will be added "endgame" content to the game, but this is about realism so there will never be such things as "bosses" or levels.

completely stupid. the game is realistic that means no ranks or goals just survive if you get bored dont play it anymore!

It's a hoarding/broken bone simulator.

Goal:

Hoard ALL the vehicles!

Dupe ALL the gear!

Break ALL the bones!

Goals of DayZ:

Scavenge.

Slay.

Survive.

You get to choose what you scavenge, who and what you slay, and how best to survive.

Yep. This is the only objective that Dayz needs.

For the OP. You must remember there is still SO more that is going to go into this mod. Soon it will be a stand alone and once its a stand alone that adds SO much more potential because from what I understand coding gets easier. Rocket has been interviewed multiple times and he has revealed such ideas as building underground bases and fortifying those said bases. He has said he is entertaining the idea of safe zones which I would assume would be instance based to prevent outskirt campers. Its just an alpha. SO much more is going to be added.

All of you who just reply "no" you add nothing to these forums.

There will be two leveling mechanics:

Beard length

And

Clothing filthiness

If you watched the power point show at that thing, there were two survivors and one was marked newbie and looked all clean and the other was marked someone cool and was all gnarly and grizzly adamsed.

Other than that, I make my own goals. I don't need someone to give them to me.

The thing that the game aches for is local community. So you get used to that clan that's dominating the nw airfield, or that sniper on ridge x... Now it's just random people on random servers with not consistency or cohesion.

[Strogg 23]

Probably not, but I agree that it should have a main goal.

Does anyone else remember those zombie survival games on Newgrounds where you're trying to reach the port city so you can escape? Something similar to that would be interesting, but a leveling system in a shooter game just stacks the deck against new players in pvp.

Now it's just random people on random servers with not consistency or cohesion.

My personal exp with that is because once my clan finds a stable server to call our home it ends up not updating correctly, gets laggy etc etc... It would be amazing to just inhabit one specific server. makes it hard to keep camps but hey. Dont get attached right?

[nobody 31]

Personally for me, i dont want to have any main goals,, like you will get there and you won, survived, time to next life, i love this mod because its about survival .. survival is goal for me .. so in my opinion ... it should keep it like how is it now. :)

you know thats actually cool you got my vote. achievements are different from what hes thinking "levels" etc

Here's how I hope the final version of Day Z will play out:

Phase One: Surviving - Scavenge, kill and loot. (Basically what you can do now except repair vehicles.)

Phase Two: Building - Use teamwork and mechanisms like pulleys to move large and heavy objects (use manual vehicles like push-bikes with trailers to transport heavy materials longer distances) to repair vehicles and construct fortifications. For example you couldn't pick up a car engine by yourself, you must get two other players to help lift it with a pulley and lower it into the car body (or trailer for transport). Another example would be carrying a sheet of corrugated iron between two people (too large for one) to use as a building material.

Phase Three: Ruling - Expand your fort into a thriving settlement, engaging in trade and warfare with other settlements, recruiting citizens and warding off bandit raids. Your aim is now to maintain power and stability.

Phase Four: Winning! - Within the sturdy walls of your ramshackle kingdom you set about achieving the pinnacle of success in Day Z, the mark of the true King of Chernarus: growing the most epic beard in the land!

The game has a goal, it's to stay alive. The problem is that the game isn't playing out as it was intended due to a few corrupting forces.
