"fix server hopping" says the community. *Fixes server hopping* "Y U FIX SURVER HOPPIN" says community. Make up your god damn mind people. If this is what it takes to fix server hopping, so be it. Find a reliable server and stick with it. Reliable servers are usually community owned servers, NOT clan owned. Community owned servers usually have admins on and easily contactable.

Nah, backpacks make the game fun. DayZ rewards the smart, not the dumb, I.E. not using your backpack.

Duping isn't a bannable thing, so what's the big deal? Admins don't need more power, there's already enough 12 year olds abusing administrative powers.

No, this isn't how you should go about things. All vigilante acts do is turn into horrible things. I can't even begin telling you how wrong this is. You're new also, don't get a server. You don't understand DayZ yet. What if I find 10 m4 ccos and put them in my tent on your server. Then you being Mr. Vigilante, destroys it. I doubt anyone will want to play on your server. Me and my group always destroy dupers camps when we find them, we drop everything on the ground. Atleast don't lock the server, be a man and do that shit legit.

Hopefully they will only be accessible by digging or searching in the spot where the entrance is, just to advoid a Swiss cheese map.

A grandma zombie would be hilarious.

I've seen an overwhelming amount of threads about hacking, being killed by bandits, PvP free servers, punishing PvP, and a lot of really ridiculous things. So, in this thread, I will give my two cents for each thing, telling you why you should stop whining, blow your nose, and get on with the game. HACKING First off, these are not hackers. If you use CheatEngine, you are not a hacker. If you buy a program with pre-made scripts, you are not a hacker. You people don't understand that you are letting a bunch of socially awkward people get to you. If you get killed by a hacker, treat it the same as getting killed by a bug. Just pretend that Script Kiddy who just teleported you into a field and mowed you down was a vicious door, out to eat your legs. Don't let them get to you, it's what they thrive on. I see atleast +50 new threads a day about hacking. It's being dealt with. Don't think that the DayZ dev team is just sitting around playing duck-duck-goose. If there was an easy fix, I'm certain they would of done it. I know losing all your hard earned gear is really annoying, especially to these Scripters, but you were going to die sometime, it is inevitable. KILLED BY BANDITS What really russles my jimmies is when I see someone say, "Oh, I got killed by some bandits, I was friendly, but now I'm joining the Bandits". This is the biggest bullshit I've ever seen. Recently, I lost NVGs, GPS, RF'ers, M4 CCO SD, and all my gear to some guy that I had just helped kill zombies with. You know what I did? Went right back to finding friendly people. I ended up with a group of 4, in Cherno, killing zombies. It's not impossible, you just can't quit. People keep saying this game is a giant Deathmatch and that it's changed. This couldn't be more wrong. The game hasn't changed, you have. Everyone's mentality is "Oh, he's just going to shoot me when I go to him, I should just kill him now". Change your mentality when playing, it does wonders. You can't go around with that mentality, ofcourse you won't find any friendlies. Not everyone is out to kill you, stop being paranoid schizophrenics and try to talk to people sometime. Double-tapping alt lowers your weapon, while leaving you vulnerable, it gives some comfort to the guy you are approaching. Change your mentality. NO PVP Now this is partly paired with the above issue, people hate bandits and just want to kill zombies. One thing you have to think of is how boring the game would get after you got everything. You've got a vehicle, you've got all the good gear....now what? Kill towns of zombies for now apparent reason? While that might, for some odd reason, sound fun to some people, that is a waste in HIVE space. I can't believe I should even have to address that. PUNISHING PVP I've seen a lot of suggestions about making bandits have some kind of disadvantage, which is pretty stupid. I even think the new head rag on the bandits in 1.7.2.5 is rediculous. Unless you have an overwhelming amount of murders (+6 or so) you shouldn't really be considered a bandit. What is happening is you are taking away that extra adrenaline rush when approaching someone, you don't know if they are friendly or not. Now with this, you see someone and you automatically know wether or not they are a bandit. The people who do have the head rags are now forced into being a bandit, wether they want to or not. I have yet to see how this works, since its only be live for a couple of hours, but I don't think it will do anything but make PvP'ing worse. RIDICULOUS THINGS: DESIGNER'S LIST 1) Friendly towns/safe havens: No place is safe in DayZ, that's a major part of the game. 2) No-PvP servers: I've already talked about this, completely ridiculous. 3) Remove sniper rifles: No, just no. If you are tired of getting sniped in Cherno, stop going to Cherno. 4) Remove NVGs/Thermal scopes: Complete and utter bullshit, makes night more dangerous and scary. 5) I could go on all day, but I'll end it here. I thought this post out and yes, I put some though and time into. I know it might recieve some negative views, but I could care less. This is here to show that DayZ is a good mod, especially for being in Alpha. Summary - Stop whining, it's not the game, it's you.

Stop shitting on BE it's not really fair. ArmA 2 didn't need a good anti-cheat program, since not too many people played it. With this big influx of players and BE pretty weak anti-cheat program, of course scripters are going to go wild with scripts. Give them time, I'm sure they'll pick up.

I have plenty of other things to talk about, but I left them out to keep this thread at a medium size.

Dogs, watch out for dogs.

Cool.

Nah, that's part of it. A vulnerable axe murderer is not scary at all.

Nothing is at..the mountain. No need to go to the mountain, stay as far away from it as you can!

It's raining, it's pouring..

WE DONT TALK ABOUT GRASS COLORED GIANT ROCK.

The people living in Cherno and Elecktro don't even know...

Awe, guise, he left us! What ever shall we do? Good riddance.

No, I don't think you can be banned for playing the map. I for one don't mind it. Rocket and the DayZ team should be happy that people are getting inspired by the mod and making maps for it. Plus, not like it's ripping them off, it is clearly inspired by DayZ.

What, 10 SVD mags for a AS50 with 2 mags? First, the SVD sucks, it's worst than the CZ. This trade is horrible, to be honest. Who trades ammo for a gun?

I do want to see your proof of these "several murders" that happened purely because of GTA. People do lie you know. I didn't misinterpret your message, since you just again compared having a kid to creating a YouTube channel. Just because SN didn't badger a hacker in his video doesn't mean all his subs began to think hacking was cool and started buying scripts. He is NOT responsible for what his SUBSCRIBERS do because of his video. Again, there are PLENTY of videos on YouTube with people doing THE EXACT SAME THING! Why aren't you prosecuting them? Should we start prosecuting people on cheating based on how many subscribers they have? What I am severly confused about is what he is being charged with. Having fun? He didn't ruin anyone's day, he didn't keep any of the items. What exactly is everyone arguing about?

"we" do care, since it's the most coward way to play a video game. I remember once my group was at the NWAF and a sniper took 2 of 7-8 of us out, I saw him on my thermal (just a little bit of his head above the fence. I shot at it about three times a poof, the sniper alt-f4'd. He killed two guys but when he gets shot at, he disconnects. This should be a temp-ban offense, with proper video evidence.

This isn't WoW, but I would like to see a tank-like zombie in every major city.

OP is right, but, the Bizon has ~50 bullets, so maybe not the Bizon.

Unless you catch someone in a adventurous/suicidal mood, I don't think anyone will go get your stuff from the NWAF. Although, we do have some adventurous people..

You have fun doing that. Cool story though, it really intrigued me.
