Squad/Group System

[naizarak 41]

Would it be possible to port the Group management system from Domination into Dayz?

So each player would be in his own private group, and he'd have to invite others to join. Then they'd have their own private comms. channel.

For anyone unfamiliar with what I'm talking about, Group management can be accessed in Domination by going to Show Status, and then Team Status.

The Project Reality mod have the best one, where it links all within that group to the group VON channel

The Domination one looks like this, maybe hard getting permissions

You're right, this system looks better - but how would it work with 50 players and large numbers of squads?

I would love a squad system, maybe some kind of spawn system too that if you die you could choose to spawn somewhat close so you do not have to run all the way from the north to the south would be cool. Maybe not too close but roughly 1 or something villages/cities away so it doesn't take ridiculously long to join again with your friends.

I think the group system should by no means display who's grouped with whom.

I'd simply add an action to players that allows you to invite the player to your group. The other player then gets the invitation and a message showing who is in that group.

Once the group is established, a simple hud showing your group-members would suffice.

I agree with Tajin, there should not be a display list which shows who is with who, it kinda spoils the mystery, plus people can use it to metagame. For example if someone says they are alone and in fact they are not, then people can check them up. I think the mystery adds to the paranoia atmosphere makes the game better.

In fact i think that there should not be a way to quick join a group via menu, it should all be done via handshake in game. Like you have to meet the person face to face and use a shake hand option in order to be added as a team mate. Once you die it should reset and you have to meet them again because it is essentially a new life.

I think this is a major thing, not to be underestimated. A lot of people are looking for more teamplay. Making a group, so you can talk with VOIP is great for this.

You should be able to join a group right away. See if the group fits you, if it doenst, you can easily join another. Simple as that.

Hope this will be added. :)

Oh boohoo, so what makes dying actually bad if you keep spawning close to your body all of the time?

I don't want to kill a group in some town just to have them all reappear 5 minutes later while I'm still looting stuff

If the game is too hard for you go play Call of Duty

This, I like the whole mystery of the game. Having all of the groups be visible from a menu would ruin the "apocalyptic" feel
