Different games modes?

[Just Chill]

Are there different game modes planned?

It's annoying if you start as a bambi and get immediately shot on sight by a way better geared player.
I would prefer a game mode where people cannot do damage to other people.

There are enough PvP games out there. So I really look forward to have some different game modes than running around paranoid and gettin' annoyed by other people.

For myself I really start to join servers where no one else is online.
I've never killed any other player before in this game, I rather would help them but I got no chance to because I get killed on sight.

So basically I ask if someone knows about different game modes which get implemented someday on the long developing road...

No, when modding support comes in then we'll see different styles of gameplay, DayZ will never have multiple game modes, well not official game modes. It's up to the community to do that.

Never going to happen. DayZ is not the game for you, just being honest. Unless you join a Private RP server with strict rules. That's always an option.

You say that as developer of the game or is that just your personal believe?

As far as I know the Arma II Mod has PvE only servers where the team damage is off.

Makes me coming to the conclusion that this game is for douchebags :P

I've already played over 40 hours but I only run into people which fit into my evalution from above.
Pitty...

It's not my belief, DayZ has always been about player interaction, including PVP.

Even the Arma II Mod?
I heard many different things about the PvE mode in the mod.

I played the original mod back in 2012, you are thinking of private hives that setup their own rules. When it comes down to the original DayZ mod, it was heavily PVP influenced. If you are looking for a PVE style DayZ, find a private server. Just remember that you're playing half of the game.

It's against server hosting rules to host PVE public servers, if that tells you anything.

[Just Chill]

Well then I hope that if the standalone is finished that private hives will be possible here too.

I mean it's really annoying if you get chased and shot by other players even if you don't want any interaction.
Beside that the game is very nice.

Private servers were actually just released, but of course the game is still in development so there isn't as much flexibility currently as there was in the mod. I have no doubts that you can find a private server around that would tickle your fancy.

[Just Chill]

I'm looking forward to...
But I think it will still take some time since the beta isn't even out yet.

However, Bohemia did a good job so far.

Just remember, not everyone in-game is out to kill you. I personally take the time to try and communicate with every person I run into. The simple reason why I do so, is because that's what DayZ is all about. Player interaction, not knowing who to trust. Once you stop getting attached to your gear, dying becomes fun, because looting up is fun in my opinion.

[Just Chill]

Well I think I gathered too much bad experience (also in other games) to trust other players.
I'm glad that you're still optimistic and have some faith in the good will of others...

Aint a game for you buddy or wait for a private pve serv like said above, and dude imagine this happen in the real life do you really think all people will help eachothers and hold hands ? damn man its not my little pony the humains are much worse than you think mate

[Just Chill]

Real life? Like becoming an IS terrorist?

Now seriously, please don't compare a video game with real life.
I know how the world sucks but I enjoy video games since they're not real but quite entertaining.
If I shot someone in a video game no one should blame me for that.
Except if that virtual person was another player and not a NPC. So he probably is mad about his loss of virtual life.
But if I would shoot a person in reality... Guess what?

Hope you got my point ;)

thats why said imagine i didnt compare any ♥♥♥♥ plus dayz is a game that is trying 2 be realistic( need to eat, drink ,maybe ♥♥♥♥ iff the devs want to implement that, clothes that degrade ect..), well i guess you wouldnt shoot with what you said above,and dont forget that pvp is a core part of dayz gameplay iff there isnt its not dayz anymore its more of a "lets suck each other during apocalypse" simulator
go play left for dead its more what you seem to seek
Hope you got my point =)

[Just Chill]

I did.
But you cannot compare DayZ and Left for Dead.
The only thing which fits is that both games have zombies.

From my side, I would play DayZ also in single player if there exist one.
Just because of the gameplay, the open world and the whole setting.

I also won't call the features you've listed "realistic".
They're immersive that's true but far away from realistic like everything else in a video game.
Or have you ever take a dump with your DayZ char? :D

If video games get realistic I probably will start to not like them anymore.
But that's only my point again...

[Lézar]

Again i didnt compare i just said that left for dead seem to fit more of what u expect, and dayz in single player wouldnt be dayz man no offense but stop the ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ mate
Here the features that will be implemented: http://www.dayztv.com/standalone/dayz-standalone-confirmed-features/

Well you probably will stop playing video games sooner than expected but thats only my point ;)
