yeah, you need a RPG to disable an APC :rolleyes: Clueless carebear is clueless.

then get out of your lamecore server and join a hardcore one. And if you expose yourself to snipers, you suck at this game. Deal with it. People always snipe at the same places, you're bad or dumb if you expose yourself to known sniping locations without at least zig-zagging while running. Plus a LRS for the mosin is very unlikely to find in the coast, they're nasty to find even in loot clusterfucks like NWAF, so your argument is invalid. Stop using people's attitude as an excuse for your lack of ability. If "giving more firepower" (wat? a tank would be more like defensive power) would make people kill on sight more, we wouldnt have bambies punching each other to death in the coast. Get your facts straight. You're only against the idea cause you know that you wouldnt be good enough to disable one and would get even more wrecked by the people that already kill you while you sit down in balota prison's windows.

but...but...but... you must be lying! i never saw one on the server i play!!1! It's all complainers complaining!!1! this game is better than ever! All the haxors are gone!1!!

i would collect rotten kiwis for a week, just to fill every firestation i find with it after clearing it.

are we to expect any new base building mechanic, better hunting or anything like that in the future? The basebuilding in the mod is pretty much nonexistant.

MGT servers are a completely failure in all aspects, they only have people playing there because of frankie and other famous streamers. And their community reflects that very well. I was playing in Survival Operations, i found it very good, but i dont think they have a chernarus epoch server. If you like shit more easy, dreamfall's there too, but it is riddled with dupers and cheaters, that kinda ruins the game. TrainWreck and Infinitygamers(argentinian server) are very good too. Your best bet is to avoid those dodgy named servers with loadout, donating and 1232352345 vehicles advertising.

FINALLY, GODS BE PRAISED. This update will basically turn the mod into a better version of standalone, LOL. I see why they delayed it so much. waiting with my cock in my left hand and f5 in the other.

when did you read me saying that i want combat tanks? i'm talking about APCs, that things that use tires and usually have a stabilized m240 or m2 (this one should be in the game, but with its particularities well simulated, like having to change the barrel after ~190 shots, misfiring (M2's with bad ammo are bitches) and so) on top of it, you know? Battle tanks would push the line too much, as these ones would be much more problematic to operate. But an APC/LAV is almost identical to a car to drive, and a common MG like a m240/MAG or M2 are easy as fuck to operate. And they are as easy to drive as they're easy to disable, you take out 2 tires and you're just a potato in the oven waiting to be cooked (yay molotovs).

of course not, after the outbreak, god deleted all the tanks from the world, despite the inumerous military camps and tank wrecks scattered around chernarus. There's no such things as "does this sound as zombie apocalipse". Did you experienced it to be able to tell what it would be like? Ambushing and disabling tanks, then camping it waiting for the occupants to hop out would be one of the best things to do in the game. It would be much more rewarding than being seen 800 meters away by a helicopter, while hidden in the middle of the forest, thanks to the shitty rendering distance that RV engine has, then dying for a pinpoint accuracy m240 spray from the damn huey. Without mention the metagaming that will happen once bases are in the game, you wont have any chance to defend your base, as a clan will just keep getting their buddies in the coast and dropping them again in your base. If people want helicopters, there should be tanks, i'm all for having none of these both, just the option to rig your vehicle up with metal plates.

if the solo 'KoSer' wont go north, he wont get good gear and will only kill you if you suck at the game. So stop blaming people's attitude when you run in the middle of elektro wanting to hug people, you'll learn in some time that the game's core is not about that, never was and never will be.

you never served in the military, did you? APCs are basically just a heavy truck engine with a armoured case over its chassi, They are not immune to bullets. Actually, one or two shots in two of its tires will disable it. They're as easy to drive and operate as an old truck or trailer. The only nasty thing about driving it is its weight, once you get speed, you wont be able to stop easy. APCs and even battle tanks are MUCH, MUCH more realistic to have than stupid choppers that require daily maintenance and years of learning to operate it. Yet there's a lot of people that want it on the game. People overreact too much about armoured vehicles, they wont be even near as gamebreaking as choppers. They're slow, the gunner is terribly exposed, you can shoot the tires out (or explode the treads with a grenade/IED) and a molotov upon it will make the crew burn to death in minutes. Choppers, on the other hand, make hiding in the woods or having a base with vehicles hidden somewhere pointless, as there will always be that no-life clan of trolls that will scan the entire map daily and destroy everything that they cant carry. The map itself is too small for air vehicles, and make the group that get their hands on a chopper be readily available in any place of the map in less than 5 minutes.

if the traders would trade certain items for another items of similar rarity, and they would move around instead of having camps, it would become much more realistic than having that stupid currency system. Too much scavenging will always lead to people fiddling with exploits on the game, and we all know that RV engine has a big deal of vulnerabilities to exploits, dupings and such. The main flaw in epoch is that its mechanics got corrupted by the cod-wannabe children that ruined the main mod. The few hardcore/semi hardcore server that are still out there are still much enjoyable to play.

helicopters require an entire team to keep them running. And have much more complex systems than a fairly rustic military tank or APC. An APC is basically a shitton of armor powered by a big truck-like engine, even a plane has more complex systems than that, from aerodinamycs to orientation systems. Let alone helicopters.

it will be hard to convince these people, almost all of these carebear dudes parachuted into the game 3~4 months ago and are still having that blast with all the 'survivalism' of the game. In three or 4 months from now the majority of these people will get bored of the "loot-go north-get killed/get bored-die-loot" routine and will want more complex shit to do in the game, like repairing and maintaning a more powerful vehicle or building a near-inpenetrable base. I remember that i was one of these "anti-KoS" brats on the first months of the mod, then i realised that after a time the only decent rush you can get in the game is deathmatching or hoarding and defending your shit (epoch anyone?).

of course, you make absurd claims with no evidence to prove your arguments and i'm the one giving useless feedback.

and you clearly represent all 2 million players playing the game weekly, despite multiple reports of wipes upon joining specific servers, right? There's people that claim that they never encountered a hacker ingame, but they exist, dont they?

some servers do reset your character and you'll only know it after you join it and spawn on the coast. Technically all servers are divided in two hives, but due to the "ALPHER" factor that everybody in these forums loves, some providers just say a "fuck it" to network problems and it causes you to lose your character on some servers. Welcome to DayZ. Enjoy your stay and remember: ALPHER! is the answer to any bug or flaw you encounter in your journey here.

Well if you really didnt cheat, which i find plausible, cause you wouldnt waste your time and effort here if you were, i think we know where those "800 accounts banned this week" that somebody claimed these days come from, LOL. I remember when WarZ did it, wouldnt be surprised if it happens in this game, given the general picture.

I can drive an armoured car, it's identical to drive an ordinary car, you cant drive a helicopter, probably not even a plane. Almost no one would be able to. Plus air vehicles flooded the game with metagaming since the mod. It will become pointless to hoard loot and the game will just turn into an elektro deathmatch with einfields and double barrels again, just like the vanilla mod was.

you dont. Simple as that. There's no blacklisting/reputation or report function in place, if you dont know who provide the server, you cant do anything to report it. Just deal with it.

that's the point. If you dont know how to position yourself with your almighty APC, you will become a sitting duck to any bambie that walks in with a makarov and shoots you through the hole in the armor that most APCs have for the inside soldiers to shoot.

treads are 10x worse to maintain than tires. And you can break it with enough 7.62 rounds or a simple IED. Then your tank becomes useless and you wont be able to repair it (you need at least 12 people to drag a tank to its treads again). a combat tank becomes useless with 3 years without maintenance, while an APC can withstand as much time without it than a regular car would.

BTW Cessna-like planes should be in the game, but helicopters should never. Maybe only a half functioning and unreliable worn out little bird or two, that would require a ton of book reading and maintaining to get working, and that's it. Helicopters are way more game breaking than some armored vehicles roaming around. Clans would use it all the time to spot bases in the woods and grief other players. Another thing that shouldnt be in the game is GPS'es.

oooh dear, so much carebears here. If they would define what should go in the game and what should not, we would have no guns, no melee weapons and the only option in combat would be hugging people. APCs should be in the game, but they should be TERRIBLE to maintain, expend a LOT of fuel, have a decent simulation of weight (sliding on terrain/getting stuck on deep dirt), their tires should be vulnerable to small arms shooting and they should have only the slot to mount a gun (that the player should find and it should be RARE as fuck to get. They would work more as a mobile base than as a weapon. So in the end a pickup with some metal sheets soldered to its windows would be much more of an advantage to have than a tank.

first you say that the mod had better FPS than standalone because of the less buildings and zombies, now you say that the mod was released (WAAAAT?) and the standalone is alpha. When both are alpha and standalone should be much better considering the time of development they already put into it. Epoch, origins, dayzero are made on the base of DayZ mod, it's the same platform, same assets, same engine, same everything, The DayZ mod you claim to be the base of DayZ standalone use the same mechanics that are on any other mod out there. And dayzero only has 4~5 servers because they didnt release the server files for the public. They had a close community from the start and they still have they servers pretty active. Yours arguments are just astounding "derp, there's servers for it, so it must be bad HEHEHEHEH". DayZero was the best mod-of-the-mod ever released, i'm sure a lot of people agree with me. The only thing that screwed it up was that they never released it to the public, so it never became much popular. And yes, it haves almost every building enterable, have LOTS of zombies (3~4x more than the vanilla mod) and they are MUCH better than the vanilla or SA's zombies. Deal with it. I already played standalone and i know what i'm talking about. Again: Clock's ticking, let's see how you react to the delays from now on. It'll be funny. Rage on, keyboard warrior.
