I thought the global database and architecture would help in a way that such items disappearing would be doable from your side, as in taking out the item from everyone's inventory without needing to nuke everyone. Not particularly a fan of this move. Guess there is no other way

That's a lie though. For example, a person that kills for the first time another person will have some psychic problems, if he's not mentally ill already. He would probably need antidepressants to take it. Would you include that? The fact that a player can turn into a puddle of tears because he killed another player? Not to mention that if you find a person starving, he will show signs of it, being a threat to you. No, the game can't display many details that on real life matter a lot. So it has to take artificial measures to help it.

no one got caught here. Admit to get a scripted in weapon from a crate, which is just a silenced version of the M4 holo, YOU'VE BEEN CAUGHT REDHANDED lolol. Truth is everyone gets what they can without hacking. People dupe their shit up, their tents, everything. They're exploiting but not cheating. The thermal vision rifle... I agree, it's not nice (and pretty cheaty) to take it, but I think no one used it... just picked it up like you pick something out of the ordinary. But then again people using L85 are wallhacking with a super-rare weapon that got duped. That's how it works. So either 80% of the players are moral cheaters, or I don't know where they are getting their stuff from. I would have picked up that holo without knowing it didn't exist on SD version.

Why is that? I wouldn't do it personally, but as long as it's not something that acts different than any weapon found ingame (well, it has a silencer and that's it right?), why would you bother. I mean, my morality would tell me not to use it, but then again there's people duping with tents to have their stuff forever, even if they die. So... how is exploiting game mechanics any different, ethically? hacker looted item. I dont like the idea of keeping those, since it getting stolen means it will get duped and eventually will be on the hands of many people. Still, we are not hackers, but I agree that it doesn't do any favour combined with some of the baseless claims around here.

Ok. As a person who plays in US38 mostly, because of the community, I can't accept baseless claims such as "liar, you killed me with xxx". The hacked weapon was obviously taken from a hacker, which we are not friends of. You see, our server tends to be attacked frequently by them, and sometimes we even go for them, fullforce. So I can tell you that we don't hack, neither have any affiliation with hackers/scripters.

great, my first character that lives, being a silent warrior that helps players instead of killing them and now DB wipe ;(

But that defeats the purpouse of "anyone, anywhere". You're asking the game to have MMORPG elements from servers that host thousands of people. You cant ask for extensive guilds like that. I personally think that if magazines didn't replenish themselves on disconnect, people wouldn't be able to cling on their "OP" weapons forever like they do. Honestly i'm so happy with my mp5sd... sneaky killing infected without problems. If when I disconnect after every playthrough my ammo stays the same, I would have no ammo for it at the moment. So it's not a matter of the weapons themselves, it's a matter of being able to generate ammo out of nowhere.

If we devs wanted to appeal to newbie casuals we'd still have skins. So who are they catering, player killer veterans that didn't want to be spotted on sight so they can still shoot first? Honestly, the idea that rocket had of giving a loud heartbeat sound to bandits (that don't know they are bandits or not) is probably the best idea. On long range, the same as anyone else. On close quarters... "there's something fishy about this dude."

By the way, when people say they think that they just disconnect to prevent you from looting them, that's half of the story. When they connect to the other server and die, they will simply attempt to run and pick their own loot again. That's probably the real reason.

Dunno, the multiplayer engine? The zombies? The item spawns? The player numbers? The current dayz code? Anything can contribute to worse fps than on singleplayer. You'd be surprised of how, for example, running a game without audio on can make your fps better. Because audio, just like everything that is being processed, needs the CPU. So... yeah, any of the above plus others I probably forgot/didn't know.

Wonder how many people would apologize to rice if he didn't actually cheat after a double check. No one would. Internet, that's how it works.

Durr, you're the kind of person who thinks it's okay to cheat when playing vs the CPU by what I'm reading. What we're saying is: no, it ain't okay. We all had those zombies running after us. You would be surprised that you can actually kill a horde of 5 zombies or so without being hit by simply turning, shooting, keep running, turn, shoot, keep running. Not to mention using the terrain to your advantage (interiors, ladders, terrain height)

Well, shit. Then, we're arguing the same damn thing. I'd like to say it's the zeds fault. They're too damn easy to avoid or kill. (And it's no damn fun to run from them any more - I aggro fifty of them, then, can't find anyone to drag 'em to.) I'd like to think so, next patch looks like a step forward anyway. Its true that zombies have been too "easy" although last night we experienced something rather different, for whatever on this US server all the zombies were going mental like they had extended awareness and in greater numbers, the whole town must have emptied into this one church and we made the biggest pile of bodies i've ever seen, this continued across the fields. Point is that lastnight the PVP "issue" never crossed our minds and anyone else in the area wouldn't even think of coming near what was going on there, or most people anyway. We got like 150 zombies in one chernogorsk house. Like... they never stopped coming. Eventually, we got out of ammo.

It would just make the bandits feel more like trolling.
