The group of survivors: a new approach of DST?

[ElMorenito]

Hello everybody,

 

I'm writting this post to present you an idea I get while playing DST. While i'm really enjoying myself playing at DST, I think it could be possible to improve that experience thanks to the group of survivors' concept.

 

The idea is quite simple. It would be possible to start a server / a game with a group of different persons. When a host will create a new world, it would open a kind of chat room and the game would only start once the required number of connected player would be reached. In the mean time, players could comunicate with the host and whith each other in order to settle some rules.

 

They would be a few positive consequences:

 

   1) The world would reset only if all members of the group are dead (or a defined number of the members). The world won't restart as it it now the case when a player is the only connected and die. Thus, it would offer an experience between the current survival mode and endless mode.  

   2) It would help preventing trolling player's activity, because of the pre-game communication.

   3) It would be possible to compose a team taking into account the range of characters and their respective qualities.

   4) It would help players to find friends and they will feel part of a team during a game.

 

What do you guys think of that idea?
