It isn't forcing it on anyone, it isn't hurting anyone, it's just an option. Clearly there are people who would really enjoy such things, like I wouldn't mind riding through chernogorsk in a bmp guns blazing, crushing and killing anything in my way. It would be a break from the stresses and hardships of classic DayZ. I would favourite a couple of those servers and maybe go on with my friends and fix up really cool vehicles that we normally don't get to and have some fun. I think it would keep gameplay much the same in a way, I mean its just the case of sticks and rocks vs sticks and rocks, guns vs guns and then the next step military vehicles vs military vehicles. Same stuff just a level up.

just don't carry a huge amount of ammo, it's disappointing to have a nice amount of ammo for your gun and then realize you can't pick much else up without dropping a bunch of it. anywhere between 2-5 (5 is probably more than you need though) is good. It depends on what you're planning on doing. It usually takes more bullets to have a firefight with people than picking off zombies on the occasional town visit.

there's destructible buildings even now so I guess it should be possible. If the tunnel gets too damaged it collapses and rubble blocks the path.

safe zones go against everything that is DayZ. One of the most frightening things about DayZ is you are never safe, no matter where you are someone or something can attack and kill you. It's what keeps you looking over your shoulder and freaking out because you swear there's something watching you from that bush. If you want a safe zone you could find a clan that has a base on a server and hang around there. It's not totally safe but it's as close as you'll get.

There's abusive admins in plenty of other privately owned servers in many more different games. The solution if you don't like it is to leave. I don't really know why it should be different here. I think if the owner of the server wanted to spawn something it isn't really abuse and they should be allowed. For obvious reasons this shouldn't be allowed in main hive servers, but I think there should be an allowance for private hives as long as they are tagged properly (something saying the admins can spawn stuff) so people don't get any unwanted surprises. It could be a lot of fun, if you don't think so then don't play on those kinds of servers and don't ruin it for other people. he's asking about private servers

I know that feel, my friends used to get that when joining servers I was on. We were all using DayZ commander, fully updated in every aspect, but i gave them the bad version error. I could be wrong but I think it's got something to do with battleye. There is a way to reinstall battleye if you want to try and see if it works. (I assume you're using steam) Open your steam library, right click on arma 2 operation arrowhead and click "reinstall battleye anti cheat". Give that a try and if it doesn't work then hopefully someone else can help. Good luck :)

its a good idea, a few guns already have lights attatched. A good feature would be to have a handgun in the sidearm slot, and right click on flashlight (whether its a flashlight or military flashlight) and click "use with pistol" and you can then turn the light on and off with L as usual.

I was just playing on that server haha. Well that sucks man but not too much you can do over here.

you either cheated or someone was using your key and cheated. Contact BattlEye http://www.battleye.com/

not so random then, those are known issues at the moment and will probably remail until the SA. Maybe there's a solution but I don't have it.

maybe 500 is ok I guess. I don't think they should be able to knock you out easier though, that's one of the most frustrating things that could happen. You're all geared up and ready to do some heavy shit and then a stray zombie attacks you, you get knocked out and that 1 zombie beats you to death. Happened to me except the 1 time I got hit in that life the zombie snapped my leg and I got killed.

2000-3000 blood from a single hit? I agree with the rest but that is just nuts! I mean a makarov bullet does only 889 or something! The zombies would be able to kill you in 2 hits since you would probably go unconscious and they would smash you while you're on the ground. you must have made an error with the 0s or you just forgot you only have 12k blood. Maybe they should hit more damage but not that much it's way too much.

i dont know how people die to zombies, when I play with my friends i'm usually well equipped near the middle of chernarus and they tell me where they spawned so I can meet up and we can head north together. Before I get there they are complaining on skype about getting raped by zombies and I dont know how they manage to do it. I can avoid them easy and if they chase me oh well ill just go to a pine tree and they run off. Just gotta learn how to hide from zombies. By the way it helps if you play at night time since they can't see you very well.

I dunno aren't they supposed to be just infected like you see in 28 days later etc, not full on dead walking but just infected with a virus so they are still human, thats why they can run and behave like animals crawling around and growling etc. So really you shouldn't have to hit them in the head. I think to make them harder it should be more difficult to find ammo (definitely dont make them even faster they already catch up to you..). I literally find makarov mags in most houses I find which is kind of nuts. if you had less ammo you would find it way harder to kill 10 zombies chasing you down the road.

i will never surrender to anyone, it will be their fatal mistake if they try to make me. I'll go all out on them and if I take at least one down with me it was worth it, for that reason I always try to have a grenade in my inventory just in case it looks like they will get me. Besides if he wants you to sit you might as well drop your guns and run into zombies.. its a long animation to get up and you're totally defenceless they can shoot you in an instant while you are helpless. Either put your life in their hands or put your life in your hands. You choose. For now I've chosen the latter. Also I won't shoot anyone who is unarmed or shoot anyone in the back, I am not a coward. I'll only kill people if they appear to be hostile and are armed well enough to kill me in a fight. A guy with a hatchet or makarov is not really a threat. Though I can recall a time when two pretty well armed bandits toying with me in cherno, I only had a hatchet and those bastards called friendly. I could tell by his voice it wasn't true. Sure enough they started shooting but I sprinted up to one of them and laid into him with my hatchet. I heard his legs snap and he died quickly. The next guy chased me around a corner and I badly wounded him before he shot me in the head.

I'd say waiting set amounts of time to get fresh spawned loot you knew would be there sounds like exploiting the loot spawning system. but of course it must be easier to occasionally log on already in the NWAF control tower right after the loot spawns, take everything of value and disconnect like a little girl.

i'd say sniping is as realistic as it needs to be, I think if sniper rifles were very rare that would be perfect. Only thing is you can find one if you know where to look and hackers litter servers with DMRs, as50s you name it which is a problem. I mean you already have to find the distance and work out where you need to aim for the shot to hit and then if they are moving you have to adjust for that too. Whenever I go across any open space I also run jagged a bit and slow down randomly, which would make sniping me really hard. I've survived people shooting at me like that before, lol this guy got mad after first 2 shots and sprayed and he actually pulled aggro from a nearby town and got swarmed from what I saw.

so pretty much make every server a private hive? that takes out the fun because if you have to change server you start over and if you dont go on that server again its all wasted time

if you were still in combat from the zombies then that might be why, my advice is dont log off to avoid a fight

sometimes its hard to tell and if a colour blind person has trouble with green > red transition I really dont think they will be able to effectively differentiate subtle changes like that. I even have trouble sometimes. If you dont want the indicators i guess you can cut up a sticky note and block the indicators with the strips

Agree on that since there are colour blind people who play DayZ of course, but the debug menu isn't such a feature and therefore won't come back. I think maybe if the symbols were a circle and if the circle reaches the borders and is full then you are at max but the circle gets smaller the more hungry/thirsty/cold/hurt you are (as in still separate indicators for each just to clarify). This way it isn't precise like a % or number but you should be able to read it unless you're blind. I agree with this thats why I thought of the circle, it's not precise just an estimation

honestly cant tell if hes a carebear or a troll

inb4graveyard It was never meant to stay it was there for debugging hence the name. No way it will be in SA.

wow if that happened to me you'd hear the FFFUUUUUU from miles away

For the radios we could have < > to switch channel as usual but there would maybe be Radio 1, Radio 2, Radio 3 etc for different frequencies. I think that would be cool. I think it would be better if everyone used mics but not everyone has one so they must type.
