Clans in Dayz?

[Yukuai 0]

Goodmorning survivors, goodmorning devs,

I know that my english is not so good but I hope that it can be understandable for all :)

First of all I've to thanks for this mod cause it gives me sensations that I never felt in a game: the atmosphere, the suspence, the fear of being killed even if I found a very good loot: simply wonderfull.

I see that the best way to play this mod is with friends/clan mates: you can plan an attack to a structure, defend a point of spawn, explore the map and try to don't die in 27 minutes (:D).

So the target of my tread is: how to insert clan/guilds in DAYZ?

I see here's some clan but the only plus of being part of a clan in DAYZ is the tag before the name.

SO the first question can be: how a clan can be inserted into this mod?

First of all I think that we need a "money" that can be used to create/modify/upgrade, and this money (that I simply call "Z") can be a mix of "time spent in DAYZ" (1z=1hr in game) and "zombies killed" (1z=10zombies killed).

With that "money" it'll be possible to do:

- Create a clan-base: with a cost of XXXXz a clan can create a base, that is a build in-game, positioned where the clan want (obviously some restrictions are needed) and where clan members can spawn. The base can spawn things (read after), can be looted by everyone, can be defense by upgrades.

- Generate item-spawn: with a cost of XXXXz the clan can buy 1 spawn of item (I think the different type of items determine different costs of bought.)

- Upgrade the base: every upgrade can have is cost, upgrades can be alot different and various: fence, walls, doors, turrets, zombie-guardians.

- Pay the rent of the clan-base: based on number of team members each month a clan need to pay an amount of zMoney to let the base survive: if the quota won't be pay, the base will be destroyed.

If the costs of everything it's well planned we can give to all player a new objective of the game: get "zMoney" to create clans/help their clan.

I don't know if this is a good or a bad idea, I only hope to see in this tread suggestions and idea for understand if here's a way to insert clan/guilds in DAYZ :)

I feel like clans are already an integral part of the game. You don't need a system to allow for cooperation, you just do it. My group already runs around with between 5-15 of us on mumble, coordinating what we are doing and hanging out. And we do that without a structured in game system. We do it how you would do it in real life, by simply forming up as a group, and going for it. The reward is that we have more security when we loot places, we are able to completely lock down a town or city (No one entered cherno for about 4 hours the other night until we got bored), we have tent camps that are hidden and protected. Upgrades are gained through cooperation already, you get 1 more tent, because you worked together to go and find one.
