Bearded McGee 121 Posted September 19, 2012 (edited) I know this would not work well with main hive servers, if the hive server function in similar fashion fashion to DayZ's, but I'm thinking that a way to alter the balance in a server-wide fashion would lead to some interesting situations.For example, I recently had the pleasure of playing for a good amount of time on a private server with some pretty explicit rules which were enforced pretty drastically. basically, no backpack and no ghillie suits.It would be an understatement to say this changed the way things went drastically. Only having 12 slots for food, water, medical supplies and main weapon ammo completely switched the general behaviour of players along with the 8 pistol/bandage slots.This made me realize how much simple switches and changes in balance could affect gameplay.Some people are asking for a pretty big sniper nerf.Some people are asking for more dangerous zombies and more scarce loot.Some people are asking for gimped weapon pools.Heck, my wish list, which I've already stated, would be Far-West ish server settings; Revolver, Winchester, over-under shotguns, break-action shotguns, lever-action shotguns, bolt-action rifles of many calibres. No NVG, no rangefinder, no waypoint, no GPS. I'd make zombies more numerous (by a factor of maybe 4), more aggressive and I'd make loot scarce (maybe have trash spawn at a good 90% rate) and remove loot respawn until server reset.Others might not exactly like this, so they could make up their own rules applicable to their servers. Easily and without trouble. With dupping and scripting fixed, we could once again turn our attention to balance.Rocket's vision is all well and dandy, but giving more freedom might give it much more longevity. more variety.How about being able to change the speed of zombies? From how far they'll ear? How hard they are to lose?EDIT:The point is to leave to server hosts the ability to change balance more. Currently, they have limited power, even in private hives.
