That was one of my first thoughts, I'm not a fan of bronies but I have nothing against them, and I have no problems with derpy, but it just seems so out of place.

And to you, good luck out there :)

I do, I regularly go into the coastal towns and befriend bambis. I lower my weapon and talk to them in direct, whether they're armed or not. I run with them for a bit until they get some gear and if they're new I teach them the basics on the way. I'm hoping this will discourage KoS incidents and might show some bambis that trust still exists in the game. In the last month I've dropped my death rate from 100% to 60% so I'd like to think I'm having an impact, no matter how small it is.

This, Rocket is amazing about reaching out to the community and will hopefully be the same way with the SA. The entire purpose of topics like this is to gague opinion, and if you block out the negative opinions like what happened from pages 2-6 here, the game will go nowhere. Keep that in mind the next time you have a grudge against Reddit or another DayZ community and want to blame any negative reaction to a patch on them.

The actual suggestion to add Utes to the Chernarus+ map came from 4Chan, but the idea of the prison with specialized gear and zombies (tazers, flashbangs, riot gear, etc) came from Reddit, one of the weekly suggestion posts I think.

You realize Reddit was the site producing a lot of the models when Rocket first asked, right? And we came up with the idea of putting a prison on Utes potentially, and Rocket is pretty active on there to the point where myself and many other average players have actually been able to have a couple quick conversations with the guy which you could only dream of here. And if you think that the guy will be dumped you really are behind, they got him on board to make models for the Standalone, this was just something he did for the hell of it and the community devs decided to try to impliment it. So if you want to blame a website for someone having a differing opinion than yours be my guest. But we fought through 4 pages of empty attacks and flaming without the support of the mods with some even taking sides against us for short times just to get our opinions out there and won in the end. So if you want to go, I'm ready.

They should remove it anyway because it's so damn overpowered, most servers already do. Your point?

Read through again, people were asking at the very least to change the more ridiculous names and change the graphics to either russian or a faux russian font. And I'll reiterate my point, DayZ is the one game I can really play tactically on and rely on others to do the same, I have a military background so I can really get into it which is one reason I love DayZ. But when I am in the zone on an operation and I look down to see MXYL MZYL soda or whatever it is or Derpy Hooves Tinned Muffins it kills that experience. DayZ has always had a tense, almost ominous atmosphere which is another reason why I love it. But some of these names are approaching Fallout levels of outlandish, to me they just don't fit the environment.

It is when you have some crazy outlandish name that just seems out of place.

Yeah it actually does break the immersion. If I'm moving through NWAF getting into the raid and I look down and see some of the names created that will completely kill the mood.

That's exactly it, the graphics don't seem out of place but the names do. DayZ has always had a serious, almost ominous air about it. Some of these names are Fallout level outlandish or approaching it, it just doesn't seem to fit in Chernarus.

That's not the point, why bother messing with the loot tables and adding a bunch of new items just to thank the team, there are plenty of other options. Do we really need over 10 kinds of everything? And to address people saying a few kinds of food isn't realistic, I've seen supermarkets in preperation for hurricanes. All the good stuff goes first so if you go in immediately after the event its always the same few items left that nobody wants. When the infection hit people clearly stocked up so it wouldn't be uncommon for the better food to be taken first, leaving what we find.

There is nothing wrong with the amount of food now, it's food. It's not some critical mechanic that controls the entire game, you rarely even pay attention to it. I like having a few drinks and 1 rare drink and a few kinds of foods, we don't need more than 10 of each thing, theres no point.

A couple of cans is a vast understatement. And you're kidding about the graffiti right? There will always be graffiti, even if the apocalypse hits how do you think people will mark their territory?

Not really, its not his work its the people who decided to impliment it like they did. I posted this in response to him on Reddit earlier: It wasn't your fault, we know that. It was whoever thought it would be a good idea to put them into the mod with their names. I actually really like some of your models but the names are just...why? And I got a lot of positive response, must have been the way you worded yours.

Define "true community"

Hello, I am Col Brown and I lead the 8th Infantry Division tactical military DayZ clan. We have just opened our private hive and would love for you to come be part of the growing playerbase. Why choose our hive over others? -125 vehicles as it should be. No car around every corner, if you have a car it is an achievment and you can be proud. -Cars spawn in various states of damage. No handouts here. -3 helis. That's right, only 3 helis exist at any one point in time (or 2 helis and a biplane). Just like the good ol' days. -Weekly resets (Why does this matter? See below.) -12 hour restarts -No admin abuse. Admin panel access is extremely restricted. -Clans welcome. -Coastal medic mobile (providing vehicle availability) -Chopper/biplane taxi service (providing vehicle availability) -Minimal starting gear. A bandage, flashlight, painkillers, and small bag. Why weekly resets? For one we have weekly events and server wipes prevent cheating. Secondly, this mixes things up. No clan (including 8Inf) can dominate the server and lock other groups out. Everyone gears, moves north, and establishes dominance together. It also prevents vehicle or weapon hoarding and allows new players to put their foot in the door, rather than old players maintaining dominance. We are more than happy to welcome other clans (hero, bandit and survivor alike) as well as lone wolves or new players and all play styles, although we do not approve of unarmed bambi killers, deathmatchers, or coast snipers. You will be hunted down mercilessly. Think this server would be a good fit for you? Join us at 50.97.49.79:3085, check out our public TS at inf8.no-ip.org or come to our website at 8inf.enjin.com

Didn't you hear? Personal attacks ended a while ago. And those conspiracy theories...hate, spite, envy, jelousy, lol that's just sad and doesn't even warrant a response.

You obviously weren't here when the majority of this post was constantly attacking 3-4 of us who didn't like the idea.

At the same time you saw all the hate we got so really anything will be pretty biased.

Actually, it was quite the opposite. Those of us opposed to this were swarmed by the people here and we actually were backing up our reasoning while they were just shooting us down without backing it up, or using the same few generic responses which didn't really have any substance. It took us 4 pages to be able to just say what we were trying to say without getting bombarded by blind hatred.

One last thought I had looking back over some of these posts, why not use something other than drinks and food? Maybe embed some easter eggs in the map like in billboards, graffiti in cities, etc. I'm not a big fan of some of the outlandish names, but when you look at the sheer quantity of new items its overwhelming. We don't need that many individual options for food and drink, it really isn't that big of an aspect in the game so its really just overcrowding an already saturated market.

I'd hardly say harmless, read a few pages back in this.

Like I've been saying all along, if we could just change some of the more outlandish names and get a more Russian feel I would be happy, that and actually give Rocket some kind of tribute too since without him we wouldn't be here right now, I mean multiple artists already have models made from a while back that are amazing.
