IMO the chopper rescue program is just a recipe for disaster. A great idea yes. But if there's a firefight between 5-6 guys in the same location a there are multiple deaths within minutes who gets picked up first? Does the chopper get everyone that died in that battle and return them at the same time? or pickup the first guy that died, return him to the action, get the next guy, return him...and so on. Also, what's the rules on blasting the guy once he hops of the chopper?

I just don't see the mass amount of coordination required to offer a chopper taxi service working. Also, by the time a guy gets a ride back into the action, he'll be so far behind the other teams there's almost no point.

it'd be much simpler that if you die you're out. the other dude from the team can continue with the race. just my thoughts.

also.. the only way there'd be no winner is if everyone gets eliminated down to the last man and the last guy gets taken out by zeds.

That was my initial concern with the whole concept - the complexity may lead to the crumbling of the system. The best event was the initial one, it was simple and was a huge success (People still keep talking about it).

The game is a sandbox, some may spawn within 200 m of their body. Remember the other non signed up players may terrorize the chopper too. There is indeed many elements to making this smooth, we could reduce it to a simple run to repair and get to Barenzino, but where would the challenge be?

All the checkpoint players will be freed up after the players are past them, they can get vehicles and help out or go player hunting too, the race will be a test of everything a PVE player has to offer, the PVP player will have some issues as this is more about negotiating towns, keeping low profile...

EDIT:
If we do elimination and everyone gets rocked out we simply disclose the prize where abouts...

I think the race as proposed now is great.

Keeping things simple by limiting the # of merc's and admins needed will help in the success.

1 guy to verify the cans on the hill. 1 guy to verify the zombie kills in cherno. Possibly change the sniper run in electro to another loot gather/drop off (this will help with consistency - and equal playing field leaving pvp between players, also reduces staff required) Maybe add 1 more event in solnichny to take people through the industrial there.. maybe a roof drop off of goodies. voila.. you have the same event with far less staff and complexity. Easier to manage, less room for errors/complaints and success is left to the players with little reliance on the coordination of the staff.

Just ideas, not trying to hijack the tourny organization. Nice work Max this looks like alot of fun.

You just volunteered that's all

the sniper were a difficult one, I wanted a Pvp element to that section... Maybe simplify more... Cans, in town suicide (that guy on the roof should have a tent filled with Enfields lol), and repair car / escape...
