I think people are taking less risks because the 'rewards' are not worth it.

Latest beta patch for arma made it way too dark. Go to the community feedback for arma and tell them night is too dark.

Read thread THEN comment. /edit maybe too rude' date=' although it is mentioned in thread a few times. New patch will give option to hide from zombies. [/quote'] I'll believe it when it actually works.

Crossbows were a cool idea until everyone figured out they are about as useful as the chest pouch.

NO I can't actually hide from zombies and they will chase me forever. I need another option. Unless you want to encourage more players to disconnect.

fyi anyone can make any name they want in the game and preceed it with any 'tag' they desire. The true 'goon' ARMA 2 squad xml might not even exist anymore, not sure.

Server hop until you find one.

That. Some "gamey" things need to be put in' date=' for the sake of gameplay>realism. Some penalties for murderes need to be introduced, but not like it was until now, with the obvious bandit skin. More subtle penalties that effect the murderers brain and mindset, and so that banditry actually is risky and requires skill. There are other threads that cover it. Haha. This is a thing that someone actually said. This video game isn't really supposed to be 'fun'!

You're going to tell us why we like the game? How fucking thoughtful of you.

90% when I've killed someone because there isn't much else to do in the game. The other 5% was when I was actually worried about being killed, and the last 5% was the moments in time I felt like I needed to protect the equipment I had on me. Some people are going to be gung-ho about the 'survival' aspect in this game, and act like that kid in kindergarten who would get mad at you if you just asked him what his mom made him for lunch. Some people think cooperating to achieve a goal is pretty cool and enjoyable. The state of the game as it is panders more to the crazy survivalist at this point of time. Not because that's how it should be (and that's up for debate), but the fact is that there aren't a lot of in-game tools or options to facilitate or 'reward' grouping together.

-1 I've done just about everything possible in the game. The only things left to do are to mess with other people in the game. That, by itself, isn't all that fun. Sure, you get to play in a sandbox. But sandboxes by themselves aren't all that fun when you don't have buckets, shovels, and water to do things with.

I think the mod is pretty boring after a certain point, and there's only so much you can think up on your own before it gets to the point where you think you have cool ideas of things you can do, until you realize the game prevents you from doing it. Sure, its an Alpha, but instead of adding more things to manage- we need more things to do. Things we get a feeling of accomplishment over. Now, its just, run in forest, go to town, avoid zombies, get beans, try not to get shot. Rinse, repeat.

I do not like the temp system at all and I think it is another needless thing to manage instead of having reasons to do things at all.

There's nothing in the game that encourages grouping together for survival. You can all argue whether or not this should be the case, but that's the state of the game. You can all decide how you all want to play the game but there are hardcore spergs who want this game to be certain way or else you remove the 'realism' they feel when they play a mod about a zombie apocalypse. The only way to group up and trust each other is to do it out of the game. You have to coordinate and post on the forums, or on another forum, and get on someone's TS/Mumble/whatever. There aren't a lot of organic situations that come about in this game that encourage grouping together or cooperation. There just isn't. You either decide yourself to make those reasons, or you don't. Some people want to live in a singular survivalist world, and other people want to group together. That's just the state of the game as it is. If you want it to change, stop complaining about some silly bandit system. Start asking for more features and reasons to group together from the guy making the mod.

Exactly. Anyway, this mod needs more things to do, and not more reasons not to do anything at all. There were a lot of fun things about this mod, but it is getting less and less fun.

On one hand, you are protective of the servers you pay $200 a month for. On the other hand, you gave away admin access to a group of people so you could run their mod on your server. Oh, and, per rocket, don't you need permission from him to ban people with that tag from your server? I'm pretty sure he's made a point about who gets banned. Wouldn't that jeopardize your ability to run the mod on your servers?

Never encountered that one before. Though I do have a suspicion that flying over town to low spawns zombies and lags up the whole server. Even crashing it if not careful. Got kicked, script restriction #12 while flying. I didn't crash, but they saw me get kicked, and then the chopper crashed due to not having a pilot.

Oh, ok. I think this was going to happen eventually anyway. Too many people asking for realism in this game about fictional things happening. Those asking for nth detail of realism will bite you in the butt over something like this.

Oh god, not one of you guys again. What? It was bound to happen. A bunch of people who think that 'survival realism' should trump having fun in a video game get their just desserts: they sperg out about some feature in a game that isn't 'realistic' because of some silly nitpick in a mod about a zombie apocalypse. Guess what? Antibiotics don't cure colds either! They aren't anti-viral! Cold is a virus!

It might be, but it could also be because not all servers are running 1.5.8 yet either. But who knows. I'm sure by rocket's posts everyone could infer that he was convinced the latest patch rollout might turn into a clusterfuck.

Are the servers running the new patch?

Hahaha. I can't wait to see dayz spergs explain to noobs that they died of a cold because they didn't have antibiotics before they went into water. Like its some sort of normal thing that they should expect to happen. And, this is probably a thing that will be said: "Hey Bob you want to join Des Moines 12?" "I dunno, it's got a low server count, that either means its raining or there's something wrong with server spawns"

Any ideas why battleeye kicked me out of a server while flying once?
