All geared up and nowhere to go?

[big_t 66]

Ok I have a decent enough assault rifle and enough food and blood bags and such to carry on for some time.

What now? walk to NW airfield? But why? I don't need a super awesome sniper rifle or anything.

Hang around Cherno / Electro and try to gun down people? ,,hmm tried for a while but the fun wears off and too much camping involved.

I want a purpose and reason for surviving other than acquiring rifles and using those rifles on less armed survivors.

I had it in my mind that as the game evolved there would be factions to interact with and certain areas that one could go to to meet up, trade or get medical attention. Or deeper clan involvement where clans would take over a whole section of the map and such. With the way the servers are set up and people bouncing around servers it still seems like a few groups and a whole bunch of lone wolfs wandering around. Although I don't know how that could change.

What do you guys do? I know it's sandbox, but this sandbox is getting old,, and I'm not finished playing yet.

I would like to see someone create that "Safe haven" in the middle of the woods. It would be barbed wired in a square form, with only one entrance. It would be very nice to see.

[premiumkrap 41]

yeah i feel ya. theres nothing to do once you have mastered the art of loot. hell i usually just go off into some town, stalk some other survivors, kill a few and then get my killed. but its fun.

What I like to do after aquiring all gear and getting bored of running for nothing is go to outskirt towns and shoot some zombies :)

I thought that was what everyone did?

[YouSerious? 3]

Work with people, try joining the medics? A bit to do.

[SmashT 10907]

Get a heli

I sort of agree with you, dunno what they could do though

[mythTECH (DayZ) 80]

Just go crazy shooting of all your bullets running naked around Cherno, it's fun.

[Afgoo 114]

You could get a group together and make vehicles. Potentially get that chopper up and running?

[Buffjesus 357]

get vehicles drive around until you see zombies then hunt the guy down and kill him

repeat until you die

repeat process over and over

i hacked in a crack pipe

[Jerry Gruszecki 26]

i would like to see player take over a city then if its held for a while zombie spawn outside the city and try to get in instead of them already spawning in the city that coupled with collecting items to barracade the city in that would make for a fun challenge and make people play together

[Izithel 23]

I sometimes go to a city and kill zombies untill I get shot or run out of ammo, it's a fun way to practise and spend time.

[motocross 49]

Make a base, get some friends and cars, barbed wire, tank traps and sand bags.

[tomchu 2]

this is my run 1. Spawn 2. Run to cherno for supplies then head NW to airfield 3. Find a nice gun at the airfield then run back to cherno or electro 4.Died trying to get back to cherno.

1 thing i wish they had more was vehicle's so people would rather stick together more and i havent even seen one fly a heli yet, only time i witness one when a hacker crashed a heli into a building in cherno and all these jets just spawned and i found all the top tier guns in the medical tents right after it was great untill i ran to the crash site and suddenly my guy got knocked into the air and died :(

So. I've had multiple discussions of a lack of end-game recently. Here are my thoughts for potentially amusing options:

1) Assault the zombies in larger cities directly. We go in loud, and we aim to kill every darned zombie in the city. We offer to protect anyone we find. I figure this will take maybe 5-6 of us, 10-12 would be better. We start in Cherno, work our way to Elektro.

If nothing else, this WILL attract bandits, and offer a great opportunity to take them out. We'll need to bring snipers into the city with us for protection... as well as to call the zombies to food-time. If we do this semi-regularly on the same server, we will become recognizable and perhaps attract others to our cause. High zombie-kill score = awesome.

2) Find vehicles. Repair vehicles. Drive them to the coast, hide them, fill them with weapons. Break them beyond the point of easy repair. This would be easiest accomplished with teams of 2 scouring the map looking for vehicles to be repaired. We'd want to focus on a single server, and see if we could get 4-5 vehicles hidden on the coast. It would seriously aid our spawns, and could be done along with suggestion 1.

3) If we've tired of the DayZ issues, we could... try out other Arma 2 mods, or the game itself! Here is an example of some of the stuff that is out there:

or this -

There are also fully functional milsims, both coop and adversarial. I'm interested to see what else people have done with the engine.

What do you guys think?

do what i plan to do when i get good stuff: HELP PEOPLE. (crazy, i know) go to the coast, and help some noob without a gun. if you die? so what? not like you were going for anything else, anyway. i actually plan to help people as much as i can, and if i die when helping them, well then they just got some cool shit. if they kill me? i'll glitch my body away...and they will never get what they want...

@TTolEressea:

Those are some good ideas and that zombie-Apacolypse-Mod looks pretty cool, certainly a different more chaotic feel but not as polished as Dayz if that makes any sense.

I suppose if the dayz mod could be modded for different scenarios that would be cool, side rescue missions or infected area cleaning requests.

Make the alpha mod moddable :D
