a BIG fuss over a small update :-/
TheDesigner replied to 5mirkeh's topic in DayZ Mod General Discussion
The only thing I hate is when the game spawns nothing. Makes it feel so bleak with not even a tin can to throw around. -
Does DayZ's player killing simulate real life authenticly?
TheDesigner replied to Ozelot (DayZ)'s topic in DayZ Mod General Discussion
Joberg? I googled it and got no results, 'crept for Joburg, South Africa. While using some random African city in a country ranked first for rape and second for assault and murder seems like a good idea to prove your point, it's not. You're going to the extremes to try and say "Look! This is what humans do!" When in reality, that place is just, excuse my French, fucked up. Africa in general has been plagued with violence for centuries. Also, as some one else pointed out above, "KoS" means "Kill on Sight". So it's somebody killing another person at the moment he sees him, for no reason at all. They kill there for food, water, and supplies, but for no reason? Maybe a few, but that is going to happen everywhere because if psychopaths. -

What? I mean at least I try and defend my points. You on the other hand, you don't respond to anyone's claims, you just post more shite and refuse to have a proper argument. So far I've done none of this, so I'm wondering what you're getting at? There are studies to show this? Or did you find this out just now by "researching" it. I was genuinely interested in this so I tried to do some reasearch.. Funny thing was, I couldn't fine anything on humans being prone to NOT feel guilty when not "pressured" by others. Now I don't want to state this as fact because it's wikipedia, but if you actually find evidence to refte it, please do. Evolutionary Theories: Lack of guilt in pyschopaths: I didn't find anything in there on being caused in some cases because of social pressure, so please do point me to the nearest study that says so. These are just theories and on Wikipedia, but I can assume that the people who wrote them know what they are talking about. I'd also like to quote this, "This is seen by psychologists as part of a lack of moral reasoning (in comparison with the majority of humans)" -

Shit, you can study something for your whole life, but that sure as hell doesn't make you any good at it. It's quite obvious when you start saying all humans are born killers and no one feels regret for killing. I do know what a psychopath is, I don't have to study the humorous subject of psychology to know it. I've dealt with both schizophrenics and ego maniacs in my family. -

How can you make these wide assumptions and you've done little to no research? Where does the guy say he enjoyed killing? My Grandpa used to tell me stories of Vietnam and I'll tell you right now, he did not enjoy the killing. You say not everyone regrets killing someone and you're right. Psychopaths do not regret killing someone. Normal people do. -

Have you read anything above grade 8 history books? Yeah, the civil war was gruesome, but after large battles when both sides fell back, they'd allow each other to get the wounded and either try to operate on them or bury them. WWI, on Christmas, during the trench warfare between Germany and Britain, they sang Christmas carols back and forth. War is war. Saying that just because humans kill each other because we love it is daft. People go to war to defend their country and they feel honored about it. After 9/11 tens of thousands of people signed up for the military. Why? To defend their country. You act as though everyone who partakes on war is a killing machine, but really that's just stupid. -

Nice video, it was really well done. -
In a situation like this, being alone means death. You'd also have no human interaction, so you would probably start to go crazy. You can't live alone in a zombie apocalypse and not go insane. It's not artificial, it simulates real life punishments for choosing to do certain things.

KoS doesn't happen in real life, lol. You don't walk in to an icecream shop and just get one between eyes because the cashier is feeling bandit-y. Also, New Orleans was horrible. Those people should be ashamed. Look at all the disasters in Oklahoma and those tornado alley places. They work together to clean things up and look for survivors. It's also filled with acts of kindness. -

I know you're probably taking some course in psychology or something like that, but I call bullshit. Not everyone is a born killer or wants to kill. We might have the capability, but that does not mean we will use it. Our brain also has the capability to remember everything since we were born, but does everyone have that "power"? No, only a select few. Same with your "joy of a kill", a select few people might want to kill because of instincts, but humans also have the instincts to group up and work as a team. -
Unless you plan on making multiple accounts, how are you going to apply for recruitment? Since you've made this post.

Why is the majority of the community little bitches?
TheDesigner replied to miley's topic in DayZ Mod General Discussion
There you go, that's the attitude. "If you don't like people ruining the DayZ mod, rent your own server! Nyaaaauh!" /sar-fucking-casm -
Criticism is now hate. I criticize people who don't take criticism well. With extra criticism. Here's some criticism for you. Why play a mod that you aren't actually interested in playing? Running is literally 70% of the mod. Screw lighthouses, add teleporters. That way you aren't inconvenienced with that booooooring hike to Stary Sobor. If you have a red shirt on, you die. I never watched Star Trek, I just think red shirts are ugly. Kind if.

Whilst you say this, I'm sure the inner Grammar Nazi in some people is dying slowly along with you and your need for everyone to say clip instead of magazine ( hue ). Clip. Clip. Clip. Clip. Clip. Clip. Clip. Clip. Clip. Clip. Clip. Clip. Clip. Clip. Clip. Clip. Clip. Clip. Clip. Also, I hope you don't use the excuse that English isn't your first language, since saying that me expecting you to know everything about a subject you're still trying to understand would be.. very.. hypocritical. Boom.

Thanks for answering my question. -
Cant understand KOS moaners :s
TheDesigner replied to jaytmuk (DayZ)'s topic in DayZ Mod General Discussion
Same. Robbed the guy of his food, water, map, and compass and left him by the road counting to 60 in direct :P. I lived and so did he. Or I don't like to KoS. But I guess you're right Mr. Pyschiatrist :(. Tell me more about myself. Really. This is your game changing mechanic? The ability to just walk up to a zombie and give it a good one-two or are you looking for a good 'ole fashion wrestling match. This would definitely change the game a lot. -

TheDesigner replied to jaytmuk (DayZ)'s topic in DayZ Mod General Discussion
Too pro. I never have had a dislike on KoS, because its what I expect when the Internet gets its hands on a popular mod/game, all the BA itchy fingered kids are going to play it. They usually don't have the mind/will power to sign up for a whitelist server, so that's what I did and I don't have problems anymore. -
1.7.7 blows! Check out the DayZ UFP Origins server!
TheDesigner replied to Apexx's topic in Mod Servers & Private Hives
Is that in the rules? On the contrary it says posting messages that don't add to the thread are against the rules (I.E. one person bumping a thread that obviously no one cares about. He's just prolonging its death... and that's inhumane.) -
For those who colo their own server in the US...

How to stop kill on sight mentality.
TheDesigner replied to stollpatrol's topic in DayZ Mod Suggestions
In a zombie apocalypse, surviving by yourself would be hard as hell. So this should be represented in DayZ. Surprising enough, in real life, you're not as bad ass as you think. Any sane person would become panicked or scared when night set in and they are raiding a town alone. If you had friends to help you along the way, you'd know someone has your back (like an over watch) and you're a little bit more safer. -
This happened to a friend of mine in DayZ as well. No clue what causes it, maybe pressing F when switching it from tool belt to weapon slot? I've got no clue, we didn't investigate it really, just messed around in Cherno.

What happened to TheLaughingMan?
TheDesigner replied to Zeo (DayZ)'s topic in Mod Servers & Private Hives
Because he was; A ) Supporting and embracing hacker attacks on other servers that were above him on GameTracker. B ) Refusing to admit that some of his admins were abusive with their powers and immature. The evidence was pretty stacked against him, although some were TS chats which can be manipulated, I, myself, even heard of him embracing hackers for his cause and I didn't even know who he was or play on his servers. -

TheDesigner replied to billyangstadt's topic in Mod Servers & Private Hives
I'm all for vanilla servers, but how about you limit it to one "bump" per day? Also, to be a truly vanilla server, is it veteran with no crosshairs, FP only, and tracers on?
