New Mob: CDC Clean up Patrol.

[MrBloodworth 1]

Brief idea: Small/medium patrol of CDC officers attempting to sweep areas clean of Zombies. They make no distinction between survivors and Zombies. They move along roads clearing as they go.

5-10 Cleaners, possibly a vehicle or two in the convoy.

Ooooooooooo more people to get "Cleaning" supplies from. I would kill them just as much as the bandits I hunt.

CDC is a US public health group, NATO or UN forces would make more sense in a post-soviet country. Maybe even WHO (World Health Organization).

Interesting, patrolling military convoys would be interesting. There could be medical ones and military ones. Also military convoys could shoot at excessive killers(I don't know would seem allright), and for friendly players, you could get healed and/or trade.

[MrBloodworth 1]

NATO, UN, CDC, whatever.

[MrBloodworth 1]

You guys get the idea.

no

the only npcs in dayz are zombies

[Techercizer 82]

The only survivors in Day Z are the players.

If you want to see military convoys cleaning up players and zombies, get some friends and a Huey and go nuts.

[MrBloodworth 1]

That can still happen Techercizer. However what i am proposing is somewhat of a staple for zombie events. I do not see a problem with it, and it would be quite fun to need to move out of where you are when you see this coming down the road.

I never said they would solve the zombie problem. They never do.

I see a problem with it. You have human NPCs running around fighting battles with and for players. If you want to give people frights and a reason to get out of the road, make your own convoys.

The only survivors Day Z needs are the players.

Did you skip the part where they make no distinction between players and zombies? Running around? No, moving from town to town doing sweeps. Hell, they could also loot the town as well.

Also, this is meant to be a discussion, no need for the anger.

I can see it but I believe is should be tied to triggers.

Ex. You find a down Helo. You go in and take loot from Helo or investigate.

If you are in # of meters to Helo -there is a % chance if you will trigger this NATO clean up or could be something like in 38 Days Later (branch of military on their own) and this group would come in and check on the Helo since it was there's and looking for supplies.

Player can escape out of there or decide to take on a more heavily armored force. (Talking about guys with bullet proof vest and heavy weapons.

If you decide to take on this force you will then also trigger a % chance of Zombies being attracted to the gun fire. The game would spawn a select number of Zombies based on an equation and these Zombies would move toward the location of the Helo and gun fight.

The NATO clean up group will leave after a few moments after the Zombies get in a certain distance from the Helo/NATO group.

Players will need to get what ever gear they can get before they Aggro any Zombies wondering into the area.

As a note ay night time these NATO forces would have night vision goggles. (flares are useful then)

These event would not always trigger but knowing it could will create great moments of tension and fear. Plus imagine if your a player in a distance traveling through a forest and hear gun fire in the distance and look over a hill and see this event play out- day or night.

To keep from people farming weapons from these NATO cleaners, they would have bullet proof vests which make them harder to kill. If players start over whelming the NATO force they will leave. Players can pickup some of the weapons they would be using but limit to one clip per weapon found. The Vehicles would be damaged if you are able to get one but if there is an Armored one like in the image above then you could not capture that since its armored and players don't have the tools to take it.

Zombies would stay in area eating off the dead.

High risk and high reward event.

I believe in the idea like in life- (So you want the freedom of driving and having your own car, great. But now you need to work to pay the insurance and car payments.)

All new opportunities give players more ability and options but also comes with it's own new set of issues and complications.

Let me what you think,

Also with the possibility of shooting characters and damaging their gear/weapons would fit great in this Event to limit farming.

[MrBloodworth 1]

Obviously, my idea was smaller in scope, but you get the idea.

[Shag 90]

Very infrequent random events like this I think have great potential.

I like to think the world should be going along without me. Seeing zed spawn when I approach a town snaps me out of that. Seeing NPC units like this immerses me again.

If you have NPC vs NPC (CDC v Zeds) I would love it.

These guys should be double nasty and dangerous, but combined with a reduction in military weapon spawns and killing these guys for all their weapons/ammo/vehicles would be a real victory.

Love it!

[MrBloodworth 1]

The game has a robust mission system, I can't imagine it would be that hard to put in. So, that's a bonus.

Wish I would have found your thread I had a similar idea this morning. http://dayzmod.com/forum/showthread.php?tid=12070&pid=112832#pid112832
