Kill more zeds & get more revarded

[martink8190@gmail.com 149]

The idea is to draw more attention to zombies again, yet not really affecting the PvP scene.

What I'd like to see is mechanics where more zombie kills rewards the player more and more and since the kill counter is there already, how about something along the lines:

kill 50 zed's - get toolbox (obviously it could be anything)

kill 80 zed's - you get rare gun like some golden magnum colt

kill 150 zed's - you get the hold of M9 SD

kill 250 zed's - get rewarded with rare G36K GL cammo

kill 350 zed's - you deserve a nice semi auto shotgun...

and so on...

The intention is really to keep players wanting more and obviously lessen the ''heavy'' mentality of kill on sight stuff (no ranting meant) :)

Please share your thoughts!

Sir how stupid are you?

[Freefall552 26]

Please no, don't make this game into a arcade shooter.

[Detta (DayZ) 59]

This destroys the purpose of realism.

If you kill a lot of zombies, you don't magically gain items.

You kill zombies to survive, not to gain loot. Otherwise we'll see some camper with a SAW ontop of a hill, shooting zombies for free loot.

[General Dickbutt 41]

I kinda agree, to me zombies are just annoying and in the way, you should defo get some rewards by killing them.

However, how do we get the loot once we kill the estimated goal?

Well, if I could pick something to reward zombie kills, I would increase the zombie loot, for example you could randomly loot a weapon from a zombie, or maybe a ghillie suit.

JUst a suggestion though

[KlausB 4]

This isnt a zombie hunt game and surely it should not be changed to this.

Getting rewards for killing zombies is contrary to staying low and survive.

[Freefall552 26]

You could at least put some thought behind it before posting, this game is a simulator after all.

I agree with the 3 previous comments.

That kind of a dramatic change is not intended for this sort of game. B) Besides, we know i would clearly win. :rolleyes: :beans:

Yes this pretty much what I meant. I mean dead zombies already spawn us a mag or beans right? Now I imagine lots and lots of players woul stop miindlessly killing each other and hopefully work together some more

I am not a super smart person can you please tell me what revarded means?

The system right now seems to work pretty well but it would be nice if I could loot a pistol or a rifle every now and then from a downed military zed. Perhaps other people want to survive and others want to fight and regain control of smaller zombie infested areas (if at least for a limited amount of time). The zombies could get hungry at night like in minecraft and it should be necessary to find cover for the night.

Know whats funny? I've been regular arma 2 player long before you even heard about dayz :P Anyways, I am not really trying to turn this into some COD but before ya all start with the realism and all...its a ZOMBIE game#

[krtshv 362]

Correction.

It's a Zombie SURVIVAL Game. Not an Arcade Shooter that you unlock new weapons by killing zombies.

[lolcoppter 12]

Turn this game into CoD and ill kill myself

,,Regular ArmA 2 player,, doesnt give a suggestion such as this one.

You have a creativity on same level as average COD player.

Just as an aside, I prefer the term "authentic". It's more relevant to talk about what is authentic, than what is real. Because you end up in this crazy philosophical loop talking about what is real or not when playing a computer game.

So perhaps, it might be best to consider replacing "realistic" with "authentic" whenever someone uses the term, because I think - generally speaking - that's what they mean. I.e. "I can't suspend my disbelief on this point because its not authentic enough." Everyone has a different tolerance for varying levels of authenticity.

A classic example, the Winchester is a shotgun in game. Which, of course, is complete bollocks. I haven't had the time to change and 99% of people don't give a shit. Those that notice don't seem to mind its lack of "authenticity" because it doesn't effect their suspension of disbelief.

No. If this idea was implemented, you'd never make it off the shoreline ever again. We'd have hordes of bandits farming zeds to get the gear, then you'd see a line of the lil bastards sittin on the beach like a firing squad. So... no. The idea is nice, but that sort of thing belongs more in a game like WoW or Vindictus. Not DayZ.

[Paraplegic 9]

I'm still looking for an answer, Colonel

[sheephunter 19]

I don't agree with the idea of rewards for Z kills, as such. But I do get the feeling of 'pointlessness' in killing them in the current game...You can't even clear a path into town before they respawn..Completely ruins the immersion factor for me.

Maybe there could be a trade system that deals in Z ears or something. Scientists need the DNA from all killed Z's to try and find an antidote/cure, So bring their ears to various locations and get a morphine? shot for every 50 ears you bring.
