Rage VG

All of the changes have had nothing to do with PvP, moreso to do with what PvPers would simply refer to as "Gearing up". They made Infection much more of a thing, made some logical decisions such as zombies no longer have heart-attacks when they find you in a car, and a few bug fixed. Also, a new HUd which is apparently friendly to color-blind players.

Well, no... Survival is a part of both PvE ("Zombies") and PvP. If either one of those didn't exist, it would not stand up on its own, so it's not a "pillar". PvE would be the entire environment. Weather, Disease, Zombies, Climate... This is all PvE and is one HALF of the game. PvP is of course PvP. Nobody needs clarification on that. That is one HALF of the game. However, They were not treated as equal halves. It was ALL PvP. If you got a car, zombies were literally a non-issue. You geared up, ran into the forest to safely stuff yourself with meat and water, went north and killed other players within 2-3 hours. There is next to no form of PvE in that at all. As it stands there is hardly any "surviving" being done, just slaying. If all you want to do is kill other people and don't care for the whole "survival" malarkey, Play ARMA. It's not even a different game. I think you have a terrible concept of "balance" if you think that it's balanced if half of the game meant nothing. All of the changes were improvements, the only time they would be considered an annoyance is when all you care about is getting up north to kill people ASAP. Sorry to break it to you, but that's not what it's all about and we, the rest of the DayZ community, wanted changes like this. What we have here, in fact, is just you accusing players of ignorance whenever they mention the part of the game you want to ignore (Someone makes a post talking about survival and not PvP? They're clearly ignorant!) instead of actually giving us valid reasons why they are bad changes, besides a list of changes you don't like (That happens to be either grossly inaccurate or flat-out lies in some parts), or telling us that these changes annoy you.

Beans for you. Doesn't make it any less true, however.

Go to a whitelisted server scriddies-b-gone.

I'm still seeing no reasons from you why any of those updates are super game-breaking in any way. Like I said, they might it slightly harder at most. And I've never once even mentioned bugged out AI in my post. The bugged AI does make them more annoying than fearsome, but that has hardly anything to do with any of the updates besides the hearing, which was a bug fix. Also, you can easily play on servers that are on the last patch if that's what you prefer, on all difficulties. You're not forced to play it.

The gameplay was meant to be as brutal as it could get, nothing else. That's why you don't spawn with any food or water anymore, that's why these updates happened, and that's why the game has always functioned as it does. Rocket himself said that if you don't like how brutal the game is, you haven't lost a single penny and he hasn't gained one. Don't play.

Overall, you could hardly argue that this goes too far. In fact, you would have to argue pretty damn hard to prove that this makes things harder at all.

It's not "Only a game", It's a game that is trying to be as brutal as it can. The fact you think it's too brutal means it's going in the right direction. Besides, are you telling me that you're fine with having to walk for well over an hour if you don't manage to find one of the few vehicles lying around AND repair it, but things like having to boil your water are way too much for you or something?

There's a logical point behind all of the changes. There's no such thing as "Too far" in DayZ, you just haven't gone far enough.

YES.

Beautiful. What did you use to make this?

We're unable to help you, You need to speak to BattlEye support.

I'm not sure if you got the reference.

I NEVER REALLY WAS ON YOUR SIDE. First thing to spring to mind from the title.

I'd support you with beans, but I kind of... -ahem-... Used them.

HEEEEEEEEEEELL no. I love my sig.

FOR THE LOVE OF GOD, NOMAD. Please stop watching that video.

THIS HAS GOT TO BE THE BEST CHATROOM I HAVE EVER BEEN IN

Also, another screengrab of another conversation that I honestly don't even...

I take note of people advertising their servers in any thread they get the chance, and I intentionally avoid them. Because you're annoying. Anyway, I don't see why you created two threads about this.

You're forgetting there are quite a few people who like to spit in the face of logic and reasoning. An alarming amount, in fact.

If hackers were your only issue with the WarZ, then stick to Whitelisted servers so you can avoid them here. You'll be in for a treat.
