Clan/Group Functions for Day Z (Stand Alone)

[boxman80 964]

Just wondering if Rocket or the team are prepared to discuss further the clan/group facilities that are to be implemented into Stand Alone initially and for the future.

I read in recent statements and interviews that initially we are likely to have some kind of affiliation system such as an item of clothing or more likely an armband to help identify groups and encourage more social play.

Coming from and representing a large and well established gaming community I think this is good and obviously a step in the right direction but I would love to see much more group/clan features being built into the game. I think I can probably speak for every stable clan and community out there when I say If not immanently, we'd would like to see it to be on the road map for somewhere down the line.

I can understand there will need to be cautious with this and a balance is needed whereby this doesn't come at a cost of sacrificing the community open style and sandbox style of the game.

Just off the top of my head features such as;

- Ability to have uniforms/items of clothing identifying clans

- Maybe tattoos/flags and nice customisations etc for characters would be a great feature

- Ability to establish bases/strong holds for bases, so camps/bases can be identified in-game

- Ability to track some stats on groups ideally via a website. Perhaps in the form of having "notoriety" to identify strong communities/clans or even bandits and lone wolves!

- Perhaps ability to leave your "mark" or tag somehow in game or maybe have an in-game messages/notice boards/graffiti relating to communities or clans to help build notoriety or reputation.

- Maybe even expand upon ideas such as our own Bounty HUnterZ event by having system/game controlled events such as a bounty system on random targets or communities based on a stats system, whereby active players are randomly targeted for bounties in the form of equipment.

Just off the top of my head here, feel free to add your own ideas, but the top and bottom of it is what are the plans for guilds/clans immanently and for the future of Day Z?
