I think having over 50% of your playerbase in the bandit skin speaks volumes for the lack of judgement on characters actions. When little johnny has no repercussions or oversight for his actions the amount of PvP drool excreting from his mouth will become unsoakable. Perhaps investigating the results of other games that have attempted this will lead you to the conclusion that you are after. Research EvE online. Research Darkfall. Both have endless hours of reading on this subject matter. What you are attempting has been tried, many times before. You are not the first. You just seem to not be a student of history. "Those who fail to learn from history are doomed to repeat it" -Churchill As for that random single sniper on the rooftop you described? Yeah it is a huge percentage of your playerbase. It is the majority not the minority. This is the 4chan generation. Hide yo beans, hide yo bag cus they raping everyone up in here.

Why did you nerfed the loot percentage ?

You can shoot out the front glass windows of the hospitals that have them. Someone even said you can break them open with a liquor bottle thrown at them. Inside is a plethora of blood bags, pills, injectors of both kinds. And I think that both kinds of hospitals usually spawn medical supplies up on the roof. Check inside the brown boxes as well they are usually chocked full of med gear. -

I am stealing that from you lololol. Oh god I can't stop laughing.

And that explains why the highest grossing video game in the history of the human species is World of Warcraft that has thousands of upgrades and customizable features. I contend that unlocks are a great idea. *Edited to add that Counter-Strike DOES have unlocks. You are rewarded with money to buy better gear/weapons every round if you survive and are successful individually and more so as a team. You can buy Night Vision Goggles, bomb defusal kits, Helmets, kevlar vests/body armor, flashbangs, grenades, smoke bombs, silenced rifles, sniper rifles shotguns sub machine guns. Every kill is rewarded with money, planting/defusing bombs, rescuing hostages rewards you with money. If your team wins you all get a bonus amount of cash.

No one wants to look exactly the same as everyone else. Progression and rewards are a great carrot on a stick. DAT FEEL of earning an upgrade or a cosmetic "look at me" is inarguable. You would have to be online gaming abstinent to not see the appeal that it draws.

The logistics is getting out of control. One sweep through the apartments/grocery store in Berezino and I found close to 30 cans of food and 20 cans of soda. More ammo than I could fit in every slot on my person and bag along with the guns to shoot them. Stary has a military camp next to it that is ridiculously stocked with weapons and ammo. Ridiculously. It has about 1/10th the amount of enemies to contend with compared to the northern airfields as well as less human competition. There are about 20+ tents set up and there are two caches inside nearly every tent. It is insane. I want to recomend making the items not only appear in FAR FAR less frequency but also to completly remove item respawning at all on the server. Once a town is cleared out of supplies it will not spawn back (until a server restart). This will encourage more movement and town clearing/foraging. Another suggestion that I want to make is to have Zombies drop better loot. NOT in higher frequency mind you, but have a zombie drop a good handgun every once in a while. Have a zombie drop a rangefinder. I would also like to see food requirements be very limited much less food needed to be eaten and have hunger/thirst last longer, but the scarcity of food be turned up to a very high number. Make a can of Dinki Di be a great find. Thank you for your time. -turkey

I believe this might be related to not having the latest weapons patch file installed. I believe with 1.5.1 code there is a change to the old weapons file. The latest weapons download is 1.1.1 and I think makes changes so that you can play blues clues and determine the cause of death of a corpse. Try installing this and see if it fixes it. -
Deathmatch with a side of zombies EDITED FOR IDIOTS
bodycount replied to MrShovelFace's topic in DayZ Mod General Discussion
Griefers, gankers, paradise wishlist. 1- Full loot. This enables you to really know that you ruined someones day. After they work hard to earn items and advance their character you make sure to kill them on sight so everything they have done for the past few however many hours is utterly completely destroyed. 2- No way to identify who killed them. This makes sure that the rest of the people that you intend to grief the ever living fuck out of have no way to defend against your actions at any time except to shoot first on sight anyone that they see. 3- Everyone looks the exact same. This is a great one to blend in. Just make sure that you shoot every single person that you see in the back. Type the word "Friendly" in general chat when someone has you in their sights and are debating if they should kill you first. 4- No need to actually PvP. Enough supplies are in game that PvP isn't even required. The ONLY reason to PvP at the moment is to grief and gank people just for the sake of it or to kill people so that they do not grief and gank you first. Items respawn very rapidly and new food/water/ammunition/supplies magically gets refilled constantly and continuously. 5- Very limited spawns in only a few spots. This is great for nighttime griefing. People will have to use flares to see when they spawn on the beach. Just sit back and wait for the red gank sticks to light up like the beacons of Minas Tirith and the fun begins! Why have people spawn all over the entire map when that way I would only be able to gank one person every so often. 6- Wandering NPC's that really have no effect on the way that I play the game. The noobs call them Zerbies or something. Who gives a diddly fuck because we do not even bother with that portion of the game. We gonna GANK SUM BADDS! Oh they gonna be so mad! They gunn nerd raeg after we ROFLstomp them just for the hell of it! GO BACK TO WOW NOOBS! This game is uber hardcore and I am so l337 I am about to show you how hardcore and l337 I am! 7- One shotting people! PEW PEW PEW! Oh god this is even better than playing my Rogue! I can one shot every noob right in the back. Full loot? Why bother I don't need any of their shit I do it because I am fucking PRO for the Lulz! I don't even need to stun lock them or hit more than one button! 8- Server hopping. Oh shit they found me and are firing back at me. Good thing I am all the way up on this rooftop. I better transfer servers so I don't die. Wouldn't want to have to risk that now would we? Where is the fun in it that? 9- Global comms so people asking for help, to team up and play together, you know the BADS and SCRUBS all have to announce where they are at if they do survive and make it off the beaches of Normandy. I will know RIGHT where to go and setup an ambush. I AM SO FREAKING L337! 10- Did I tell you how pro and l337 I am and how trash those baddies are? BRB I need to comb these cheetos out of my mouth breathing neckbeard. I need to get more ammo for my sniper rifle. No zombies up on this mountain. -

During the screen that informs you that you are dead and you should go back to the character menu it is impossible for me to hit the escape key anymore. I have to completely close out Arma 2 and restart the game. Date/Time: Euro server 11:30ish P.M. East Coast U.S. time What happened: Upon death unable to hit the escape key Where you were: In Elektro What you were doing: Pew Pewing -Current installed version 1.4.2.3 (I have experienced this about three times today on three separate servers. Russian, U.S. 1 and Euro 1)

Upon death not able to hit the escape key

Your sig is awesome! With the Mediafire downloads page gone it is no longer possible to see the date of the last update/patch. I will just check your sig every so often to remain up to date on the latest patches. -

3rd person view and other aid’s? discussion .
bodycount replied to orbital's topic in DayZ Mod General Discussion
The problem is that some movements are VERY swift fluid and dynamic and others are just god awful. -Head turning is very crisp and precise. -Leaning is damn near instantaneous. -Moving forward and back/strafing is almost delayed, like a lag or a small amount of early unresponsiveness. So you have some great feeling moves combined with some poorly designed/implemented ones that together cause the feel of a game without tight controls. -
Deathmatch with a side of zombies EDITED FOR IDIOTS
bodycount replied to MrShovelFace's topic in DayZ Mod General Discussion
I tried to join them today. I figured might as well just PvP and start shooting people in the back for fun. I started on the beach and right away see some flares in the distance at some town. I make my way there and hear gunshots up ahead. I hustle up to get the drop on my mark and gank that scrub baddie. Low and behold the poor little fella is on the ground being eaten by 2 zombies. My Grinch heart shattered in a single moment and I took a long hard look at my humanity meter...the only thing that separates the zombies from us humans. My instincts kicked in snapping me back to reality. POP POP POP my Makarov couldn't put holes into those flesh fiends fast enough. I destroyed those monstrosities and went to work bandaging that poor unconscious fella on the ground. He lived...maybe not too much longer...but long enough. I can't do it. I can't gank people and shoot them in the back and find that fun or enjoyable. I guess I am missing the douche bag gene. -

Change Starter Pistol Back To Revolver
bodycount replied to cordleztoaster's topic in DayZ Mod Suggestions
BUT I CAN'T IMMEDIATELY PVP WITH THE MAKAROV! THE WHOLE POINT OF THIS GAME IS TO PVP! HOW DO I PVP WITH MAKAROV?!?!QQQQQ?!?!?! You are literally Hitler for forcing me to face zombies and search a town in a zombie game for a good gun to gank people with. -
Furry Yiff Griefing Defense Forces PEW PEW PEW! I is dah l337 Snipagh!

Lets get down to brass tacks. 50% of the people are friendly who enjoy teaming up and working together and playing a zombie game. 50% of the players prey on these players and specifically play this mod because they know they can PvP without the worry of being shot first and could give two shits about zombies. We are playing two separate games. Half of us are playing a zombie survival game and half of us are playing a PvP deathmatch sniper simulator where the other people are their bots and their content. Just take the zombies out. Problem solved. Zombies are just getting in the way of all dat L337 PvP.
