Where you pick a server for a character to be on and thats the only server you can play on with that character. It would certainly help cheating and would add a sense of community as you could build up a reputation of sorts. 100 person servers would be enough I think to keep things fresh. Server jumping is and always will be stupid.

For about a month now every time i try to play dayz on any server and any mod, i get disconnected after about 15-20 minutes. It is clearly not my internet because i can play other games for extended periods of time.

PAINTED FIREAXE!!! holy shit, devs really are working on what the people want. What a shit "game" this is.

He actually probably signed some sort of contract which probably wouldn't allow him to quit on such short notice. And it is a stupid idea because any sort of lack buster performance (real or made up by the community) will be blamed on him not caring and having checked out.

http://www.gamespot.com/articles/dayz-sales-rise-to-875k-dev-says-beta-not-likely-before-end-of-2014/1100-6416986/ Hahahahahah, these people make games for a living correct? So the the full game will not be out till when, quarter 3 2015? What a joke.

Mod is far better than the SA right now. As the SA gets better, more people will filter over.

Well, doesn't expect beta before end of 2014 means it will go into beta sometime during 2015. Given the track record of releasing shit when they say (december 2012 alpha), maybe feb-march 2015 beta? Beta probably won't take less than 4-5 months, July-August 2015.

Wanna loan me 26 million dollar?

And i suppose you do. Since it is the internet, you would probably know everything about any sort of topic anyone might ever post. biomechanical engineering? You are probably a pro. Ancient Rome? You probably majored in that in college.

So if you get your enjoyment from ruining other peoples experience, why not just hack?

If they really wanted real, all guns would basically be one shot kills. And if you didn't die from the first shot, you would fall to the ground and not be able to function due to the pain.

A few hundred people? I always liked the idea of playing with the same large group and eventually getting to know who people are and how they act. More of a persistent world and community. Clearly thats not realistic with 60 man servers but I feel the world is big enough to accommodate a lot more people on one server. Picking a server and having your character be playable only on that server would help problems like server loot jumping. I think it would also help KOSing because word would spread to other players if you randomly kill noobs for no reason.

And pistols should be like 50% of the weapons in the game and shotguns/hunting rifles like 30%. The few fire fights i've gotten into in which we were both armed with hand guns were so much fun. I hope in the final game assault rifles become very rare.

I liked the idea that too much needless killing and general "being a complete psychopath" over time makes your character kinda crazy. Seeing shit, hearing noise, getting sick. You want real? Cold blooded murder probably takes it toll on you unless the only people to survive were serial killers. "There's nothing easy about taking a man's life no matter how little value it may have".

Early 2015? Seems like it could be a loong time.

How often do you run and ADS a 40 pound sniper rifle? Not realistic.

I assume that M4s are the most common assault rifle because story wise, American forces came. Or non story wise, its more visually appealing and "cool" than an ak.

I don't know why but picturing this in my head made me laugh.

Snipe newbs on the coast much?

If i were to wake up from a coma and someone told me A) its the zombie apocalypse and B ) 95% of all people you meet will shoot you in the face the second they see you for no reason, i would have more trouble believing B. It breaks the immersion of the game and if you don't play the game to try to get into your character,to try to put yourself in the environment and act like you would act, why not just play on a server that spawns you with a sniper rifle? You would be on a fair playing field and be able to test your abilities appropriately.

Make 1st person only servers. Problem solved. Why should people who are anti 3rd person dictate my enjoyment of the game? 1st person sucks, they should remove it. I don't like KOSing, remove it.

and never has. Other than PVP. The "its your story" is such a cop out. To lazy or not creative enough to come up with a good story is more like it. Someone should make a game that is all storyline and "you create the rest", otherwise its just a black screen with great storylines.

No you're right. I hope this game gets even more "real", tedious, and boring. Walking should be like http://www.foddy.net/Athletics.html , when you log out your character stays in game sleeping on the ground and you can be killed, if you get shot once you are basically dead and if you do survive you can't do anything for 3 weeks real time while your character heals. Real sniper rifles weigh like 40 pounds so you shouldn't be able to run with one in your hand and ADS them so easily.

So basically it is going to remain a pvp game where kids call you a faggot after killing you and teabagging you?

I want it so complicated that you need to send the developers a copy of your medical degree to be able to use it. If you don't, it just shows up as jibberish.
