bodycount

I just spent 20 minutes on the Legion server. I had no less that 5 people try and kill me in less than 20 minutes. Hell as soon as I spawned on the beach I had some guy shooting at me. The number of people camped onto rooftops sniping people just to snipe them, not for their gear, not to defend themselves, not for any reason except PEW PEW PEW was staggering. Staggering. I saw not one single person killed by zombies. ALL were killed by snipers and PvPers. Hear the rifle crack, see the dead name in the chat log. I run in zig zags and I must have dodged 20 bullets. I feel like I am in a Syrian War mod. Why would you bother playing a game like Project Reality when in a game like that you have a much higher chance of the other person shooting you first when you can play some Zombie mod and just climb roofs and snipe unsuspecting friendly people all day long? Much more fun to do. I fail to see any way to stifle or discourage this in any way shape or form. Might as well just take the zombies out since the majority of the playerbase has absolutely no interest in them. Rename it to DayP(vP)

They are trying to steal your beans! Shoot them first before they get your beans! In beans we trust, everyone else shoot first before they shoot you and steal your beans. Over 50% of the playerbase had a bandit skin before the reset. That means you have a 1/2 chance of being murdered by everyone that you meet. No you cannot have my beans.

I think people are mistaking the M24 (Remington 700 .308) with the M82 .50 cal.

I didnt read enough.

I get it off and on more On than off though. Not sure how to fix it client side. -Tried waiting as long as 20 minutes and it did not help. -I tried to do a left shift and keypad minus f l u s h but that does not help either. -tried numluck, capslock, tild, the F keys but none seem to fix it.

PEW PEW PEW! I am dagh L337 SnIpAgHXZXZoR XDXDXDX O M F G Magh skillz is so amazing! GAH GAH GAH GAGHDLIEK! I is good because I shoot people wit dah snipagh raghflezz! PEW PEW PEW!

That sucks I thought the Aussies had a great gaming community. I saw a lot of teamwork and pretty positive players on there. I hope they get them back up and running again in the future somehow.

People are gonna PvP/Grief/Camp/Gank whatever you want to call it no matter what happens they will do it. Why not give them a reason to actually do it? Make supplies (food/water/ammo/weapons/maps/knives/compass/matches) rare enough that in order to stop that starvation meter you have to either ask that guy for food, team up with him to trade for food, team up to hunt/clear out a town because you don't have enough ammo to do it solo or kill him and take his shit. It might also encourage better grouping. If you have such a piss poor amount of supplies that you might not be able to search/clear a town out on your own teaming up might be the best option. Or watch that guy in the town clearing it out and try and set an ambush up for when he leaves town and take less risk. As it is now supplies are just everywhere. I can't go for 5 minutes without stumbling over rifles and mags food water. When the logistics is heavy there exists no reason to steal from someone. Why break into the jewelry store down the road when it is raining Rolex's. I know I have said this like 20 times already but I feel it needs reiterating.

Maybe limit it to one tent per player?

One thing that I miss from the mediafire downloads section was the date/time of the most recent file from each section. Any way to add this next to the download on the dayzmod.com downloads page next to the file names good Sir/Madam?

I found Bond running through the woods aimlessly on a random server one night. Poor little fella had no backpack, no rifle, not even a freaking handgun. I gave him an AK I had stashed in my bag and about 4 mags of ammo a map and a compass trying to be friendly and helpful. About 15 minutes later chat blows up with people complaining because Bond went on a killing spree taking out about 5 people before finally being gunned down himself. I was an accomplice to murder, and the guilt gnaws at me every night since then.

A Dirk Bike would be pretty sweet. Might give an actual reason to scavenge for parts and fuel.

The Makarov is a decent starter pistol. Good choice. I am anxious to log in and check it out. Also the beginning of base building seems exciting. Will be anxious to try it out as well. Installing 1.5 now!

1911 is awesome but mags are pretty scarce. I try and stock 1911 mags in my bag whenever I find them but the pistols themselves seem to be hit or miss.

Storm the beaches of Cherno and repel the bean invaders. They are only here for our beans boys! Kill any bean thief's that you see spawn on the beach. Punish them ruthlessly and mercilessly for attempting to take our beans. The great Bean War of our generation is upon us!

If more than 50% of the player base is rocking the bandit skin why even bother having it in game at all?

It seems very random. I was spawned in the ocean on one strange server restart with several other people about 10 minutes away from land. I made a swim for it and did not lose my gear until a good 5 minutes of swimming. Just recently I stumbled into swamp water that I thought was only knee deep and as SOON as I began swimming my gear instantly disappeared. I think it is just random.

It seems many people are not happy about the bandit skin. I think I am in the minority by liking it. Maybe it just has too many drawbacks to make it feasible. I think it is a very unique solution to a rampant problem. Maybe I am part of the minority by thinking there is even a problem. I am anxious to see what the developers come up with if they remove the bandit skin. They seem like very creative individuals and will probably not disappoint in either case. Maybe I just need to HTFU.

You have to be prepared to camp the same spot for hours upon hours upon hours on end. Items respawn after a while. Airfields have all of the call of doody camper players usually camping all day for a pair of NVG's. If you are not prepared to camp for hours at a time in the same exact spot all day long then you will not be competitive with the call of duty players.

You need to allow room for griefing and ganking and also PvP. Group on group warfare has great potential in this mod. As others have said ONLY fighting zombies will get stale. You need to have greater competition for resources. Let nature take it's course. People will not need to be encouraged to PvP if shit is scarce. People will not be killing for the lulz if they are starving to death or only have a couple of shells left. I know Munchy stated that the Euro servers have a 50% less either respawn rate or item appearance in general. I will check it out. IMO items need to be extremely scarce. Make the items appear randomly instead of in specific locations. Encourage mobility and encounters and not airfield camping. It would also encourage greater trading if you have ammo for the other guys gun and he has ammo for your gun. Or more pvp. Or more teamwork. Resources, resources resources I cannot stress that enough. Less resources will encourage PvP for the reasons that it should take place. Not for fun or pew pew pewing but to keep your character alive for another hour or two.

When you eat a can of beans every 20 minutes the gas keeps you awake.....
