    Why I think Alt-F4 makes us all better players

    No you don't. Otherwise you'd be in the northern woods with nothing but a can of water, a hatchet, knife and matches. Never ever meeting a zombie or another player, living forever on your own. The survival part of this game is boring, because you can beat it after 15 minutes of playing. People play this game to collect guns & equipment which are not necessary for survival whatsoever, and then try to get some action by hunting other people. This has nothing to do with survival, and there are neither bandits nor survivors. Its simply a deathmatch game, and everything beyond that is just a part of your fantasy.
  2. I know perfectly what is going on, because all I refer to is what can be read on this forum. Not like admins, who assume and interprete the personal reasons of a player that logs out however they like. On this forum, admins are openly admitting to abusive practice and are excusing it with rules they made up themselves and do not apply to dayz, and for good reasons. Therfore I request them to be removed from the hive. Simple. Banning for any reason other than proven racism, locking a server, hacking the game and spawning in items. These are all pretty much the same thing. Actually banning for combat logging is even below hacking in tanks and other stuff, since the latter at least might produce some interesting results that can point to new ideas in the development. Anyways, this is all abusing and exploiting the game in its development process, it can be proven with logs and people who do it should be excluded from taking part in the development process. The intentions behind a logout however cannot be proven. Unless gunshots were fired, its perfectly possible the guy did not even know he was escaping a situation. And even if there was gunfire, there is a possibility that someone stopped playing because he had something else to do in real life. Letting admins who have no way to prove anything and have an interest in banning someone decide what the intentions behind a DC were and act upon these assumptions is a fallacy. As an admin, you could virtually ban anyone for combat logging, since everone logs out of the server at some time, and there are usually other people on the same server, too. And therefore combat logging is not bannable by official rules, and for good reasons. In my opinion, admins who ban for disconnecting are way lower than the hackers or combat loggers themselves. They practically grant themselves the right to ban anyone whenever they like. And excuse it in a twofaced manner. Its disgusting. If you have a problem with the state of the game, talk about solutions or quit hosting a server for the project. Granting yourself abusing rights is not acceptable.
  3. After you shoot someone with a high caliber sniper rifle you should not be able to loot an intact ghillie suit from him. This would not be authentic whatsoever.
  4. There is no difference between banning for combat logging and banning because you are afraid that someone could kill you or banning because you don't like someones nickname. It is massive admin abuse and needs to be punished by revoking hive access. It is a real life necessity to log out of a server every once in a while. People have real lives, too and exiting a game is a very basic and normal feature in any game.You have neither a fucking clue why someone needed to log out exactly, nor is this any of your business. Its unfortunate that stopping to play the game can be abused in principle, but thats a flaw in the game itself and nobodys fault. It is obscene that people like you play witness, judge and prosecutor all in on person based on your personal and very limited perception of what is going on. I'm sick of these people like you making up their own nonsensical rules and even bring them up to defend themselves if they get caught abusing.

    Just met a "friendly" hacker

    you should probably inform yourself wha the term hacker actually means, despite of what people who just play videogames all day use the word for.
  6. banning people arbitrarily is a much more severe exploit. And since its not possible to investigate the real life reasons why someone stopped playing a videogame (and would be none of your business either..) banning for DC is the same as banning someone because you dont like his nickname.
  7. so funny how many people act all badass at home on their pc's, talking about honor and manliness in a deathmatch video game. I understand its tempting for griefers to play dayz and get easy kills from sniping when you would otherwise get smashed in a competitive FPS game. The whining that the people you tried to grief decided to stop playing with you and log out is ridiculous though. Instead of informing others about your masculine insecurities you could rather actually discuss the topic. DC somewhat ruins immersion. You shouldn't have to guess if someone you saw is still in a building or not if you cover the only entrance. It is the constant doubt if someone who just got into cover maybe logged out or not which is ruining the atmosphere, not the logging out itself. If you are sure someone logged out, then its just as the op said, some dude got away. Until a logout-timer is there, it should at least inform you in chat whenever someone logs out. So at least you know if no message appears, the world is authentic in a way that people have not suddenly disappeared from it. In pure deathmatch combat situations though which are not authentic anyways (because it just doesnt make any sense), I see no harm disconnecting if you are not into deathmatching. As the OP said, one dude got away, who cares. Playing a casual videogame in a certain way in order to demonstrate your manliness and trying to enforce this onto others`on the forums is completely pathetic though. How old are people playing this game?

    Remove NVG Poll

    ... ffs remove that silly quote button ....

    Remove NVG Poll

    They are not "required" by any means. Especially not from a survival perspective. There are flashlights, chemlights, flares, weapons with flashlights, compass works at night and you occasionaly can orient by the stars. Nightplay is graphically beautiful and very atmospheric. I currently have NVG and find it a bit pointless since most night servers are low pop. Rather than removing it, the game should not be boring deathmatch/trolliing but about survival, so people would actually play at night with proper lighting.

    vehicle "hoarding", what the hell is it?

    Yep I have and I have been successful in 1 out of 4 times I've tried. The thing is though, I found most vehicles with the help of vehicles I already had. So I agree, if you have a vehicle its fairly easy to get more, and if you have no vehicle its pretty hard to find one. I've given up on purposely looking though, Most vehicles I accidentally found in spots where I wouldn't have expected them. for example this parking lot north of berezino, where I once found 2 tractors, a bike, an atv and a hatchback at the same time. So to sum things up: - make vehicles spawn randomly - make vehicles explode if they cross the map border - make vehicles respawn if not used in 48 hours This would improve the game. Maybe to the point where tank traps could be used for ambushes instead of just for trolling.
  11. There are no zombies in the northern woods, and from a survival point of view there is no reason to go anywhere else once you have hunting gear and a bottle of water. There is only one simple reason why people ever die in this game and it is because they are bored and look for action and firefights or stuff they don't actually need for survival like guns or equipment. Not counting bugs of course. Its just simple deathmatch, and thats all.
  12. its not a survival game, there is not even a challenge to survival. just find matches and a water bottle and you could live forever no problem. Its plain deathmatch. But some people enjoy the idea that its called survival since they finally found a game where they can get a few frags too from unsuspecting people. people with spastic paralysis need some love too <3

    Why is there so many pussy's on DayZ

    William.. If you kill someone in dayz you consciously decide to rid someone of all his archievements in the game, on which he most probably has spent a good deal of his REAL LIFE in the past few days. When at the same time there were lots of other options. You know this very well yourself. People in dayz decided to make real life efforts and spent real life time to advance in the game. Marginalizing this fact simply makes you a sociopath. And given the thread title I'd add masculinity issues. Probably even more prominent than the sociopath aspect, as it appears you are less making an actual statement and more trying to act hard.

    vehicle "hoarding", what the hell is it?

    I mean, If people really lack self reflection on such a basic level that they don't get the idea that it might be a strange thing to sit in front of the computer all day working on accumulating virtual car representations that have no actual value and will not even be used inside the game, then their problems are probably more severe than my troubles finding a car to do shit with it. I found a lot of vehicles lately, so whatever, so I guess I am less pissed of by that right now. Its probably this roleplaying thing, where people believe they live in this world and fantasize about their life and how it is important to aquire objects that represent value instead of having a good time. Maybe make vehicles explode when they cross the map border. That way people looking for them would actually find them.

    vehicle "hoarding", what the hell is it?

    One week is way too long for unused vehicles to respawn. Make it 2 days max. If you don't use the vehicle and just hoard it for whatever neurotic reasons, then it could as well be used for more interesting stuff elsewhere. Nothing wrong with finding a vehicle and hiding it somewhere else to use it the next day or have it discovered by people looking for it. But hoarders hide them kilometers off the map, doing nothing with them, effectively removing them from gameplay. They are hindering alpha testing with their personal issues. Vehicles will be reset anyways from time to time. There is absolutely no point in hoarding them and not using them.

    Could someobody

    please ban those a**holes which are passwording their servers so they can steal the helicopters right now? Thanks If you wonder who it is: Just take a look at sixlauncher on low pop servers with the new patch: 9/10 passworded. A f**king joke.

    There are no private servers. There is only an option to host a server and donate it to the project. You are neither allowed to ban people for anything besides racism, nor are you allowed to put a password on a server which connects to the hive. The conditions you have to agree on when you decide to provide a server are very clear on that. It affects everyone alphatesting this mod and the statistics that are gathered by the development team, especially if the majority of server admins does this - It practically removes helicopters from gameplay. Again, it was stated very clearly that this mod is meant for everyone to test. There is no way to actually not understand that part of the agreement. Obviously for passwording a server which has been given free access to the hive. People passwording their servers have to be denied access to the hive because they are not actually helping the development but just take the intellectual property of someone else to abuse it for their own leisure. If someone wants to host a "private" server he has to wait until such a product is for sale actually, not hinder the development by obtaining free access to the project under false pretense and then fucking over gameplay and statistics gathering because they want to have unfinished ingame content for themselves only.
  19. Your tent wasn't on de105, was it? Either way, your stuff obviously got stolen. Other people maybe have had no use for normal assault rifles since they are abundant...
