DayZ "classes" and sub-classes" the way i see it

[Serious Stan 202]

Hello, ive played alot bethesda games like the elder scrolls and fallout series.

There ofcourse you can make your own class. however they still are sub-classes.

ive read alot of arguements on these forums about bandits and murderers, that some bandits are not murderers etca....

To become a bandit you must murder someone who is not a bandit wich is strange i agree..

A bandit in my eyes is much like a burgular who breaks into peoples belongings. He steals, he lies and betrays.

So even if the "classes" dont have names (yet)?

We have following class: HERO!

wich have sub-classes: medic, regulator, avenger,

We have follwing class: survivor, wich is rather boring.

wich have sub classes: hunter, +something,

We have Bandit.

wich have sub classes: murderer, thief, intruder

Sorry for fail-post, accidentally hit enter :P

And maybe this is suggestion post im not sure!

Probably more of an observation than a suggestion, I'm sure nobody has enough time on their hands to complain about technicalities ^_^

I imagine "Regulator" and "Avenger" are pretty much the same guy. That's generally my jig anywayz.

For the boring survivor section, you forgot "Freelance travelling repairman". I'm forever stumbling across bloody bambi corpses filled with engine blocks and scrap metal.

You forgot the subclass of "Entertainer". :P

[Dr.Duff 211]

I play a medic, I carry a good amount of supplis and fix up my crew when needed, but I also raid and defend and will kill anyone who doesn't announce their presense accordingly, mainly because I get skittish around players who won't say anything.

I personally believe the "classes" blur into each other too easily to be truly defined.

If everyone could define themselves with a simple recognisable label to describe their role in the world, it would be a LOT easier for other players to decide who is worth anything more than just a bullet.

Maybe that's just wishful thinking on my part.

EDIT: Nowadays, shouting "friendly" just doesn't cut it.

I'd say there would also be a distinction between lone wolves, those who team up with randoms and clan members

[Swineflew 480]

I just like the feeling of knowing I could kill them at any moment and they don't even know I'm there.

I totally thought this was a thread to make DayZ a class based game.

Anyway, the archetypes blend too much together to be able to label people.

[sostronk 334]

I like it. Although Im the guy who would love specific skill trees to tech into as well.

The "bandit" term is tricky. I don't kill players and have my Hero skin, but I steal any vehicle I come across and take stuff from any tent with useful gear.

The way I see "classes" is you are what you carry.

Some times I like to play an:

Assault class - load up with an M203 and smoke and grenades and ammo

Support class- SAW (other LMG) lots of ammo (some for others too)

Medic- M16A4 a few mags, tons of medical supplies

Sniper/Spotter- Ghillie suit, Range Finder. Sniper rifle. I know most spotters now prefer the L85, but I still like the DMR.

Engneer- Tool box, spade. Depending on mission lots of car parts, helo parts, tank traps, wire, sandbags.

Anti-Vehicle- Rocket Launcher.

Spec Ops- M9SD, MP5SD, M4A1 CCO SD. Satchel Charges. NVGs.

How these classes act (Hero/bandit) is up to the player, each one can be a "bad guy or good guy".
