Looking for Workshop content info and advice.
Funkmaster Rick replied to TheWeedMan's topic in General Discussion
Not true, sir. The Steam Subscriber Agreement states that: Workshop Contributions are Subscriptions, and therefore you agree that any Subscriber receiving distribution of your Workshop Contribution will have the same rights to use your Workshop Contribution (and will be subject to the same restrictions) as are set out in this Agreement for any other Subscriptions. If they can download it on the workshop, you've given a kind of general permission for people to use it. There are no provisions for cutting that permission into pieces and selectively distributing it. You upload, Steam lets anyone download, and the Agreement facilitates that. Any DMCA request should be easily defeated by a link to Section 6 B. However, if the author adds a EULA that might change. Such a provision is included in the Agreement. I suspect it would have to be somewhat complicated to both allow general use but deny specific servers, and I doubt a modder is going to invest the money into that. They might invest the time, though, but until then you're open for business. -
Why I don't play on official....
Funkmaster Rick replied to THEGordonFreeman's topic in General Discussion
We all know this about official servers. So does Bohemia. Don't expect anything to be done. -
lol, "new mechanic." This feature was in .63, I wonder why it took them so long to bring it back.

When will Bohemia get serious about completing the Wiki?
Funkmaster Rick replied to SwissArmy1984's topic in General Discussion
They won't. -
how to know the names of players in a vanilla server without log in ?
Funkmaster Rick replied to Riddick_2K's topic in General Discussion
What a weird question. I'm curious now. Are you stalking someone or trying to hide from someone? -
Why don't the developers try to make money on this game?
Funkmaster Rick replied to maxon-69's topic in General Discussion
They already pumped the game for what it's worth. Nobody who's been around this community for years is going to throw more money in after Bohemia fucked us by removing half the features and never finishing the game. Early Access or no, there were expectations they failed to meet and I certainly don't trust them enough to spend further funds. -
Imagine asking for proof of hackers on official servers in 2021. Someone's been asleep for the last seven years.

Public (and press) reception of DayZ in 2020
Funkmaster Rick replied to emuthreat's topic in General Discussion
It was abandoned. It feels abandoned. The forums feel abandoned. The server lists feel abandoned. Half this game was cut and hung out to rot. They used to hand out information to keep the community excited. I find myself doubting the claims that they've still got 10 developers working on this game. If they do, they're certainly not working full-time on just this project. -
Why is console community so bad?
Funkmaster Rick replied to Ihatelettuce's topic in General Discussion
Never attempt to interact peacefully with more than one person. Why? Because there's approximately a 98% chance they're on a private communications protocol and probably don't want to invite randos into their private community. If they know you're nearby, it's objectively safest of them to kill you and keep looting. There is no downside to them except the lost ammo, which has never really been precious enough in this game to make me weight the pros and cons of taking a shot at any point. The math just falls that way. -
Since it's on a Facebook page you may have some few options. I would recommend reporting your experience directly to Facebook, including as much proof as possible. They'll likely take this seriously because it's harassment and almost certainly covered by the various cyberbullying laws on whatever state DayZ's servers run on. Facebook will likely at least cite them and give them a warning.

Why is Livonia generally low-pop?
Funkmaster Rick replied to Just Caused's topic in General Discussion
I don't have Livonia. I can certainly afford it but I never liked Bohemia's decision to split the playerbase with a second map. I suspect that a lot of players just never picked up Livonia or remained in Chernarus because the friends they played with stayed there. -
I believe gloves only help if you take them off when eating.

Will cars and lag ever be fixed?
Funkmaster Rick replied to DenverDeCoY1's topic in General Discussion
No. -
It's something to do when there's nothing else to do.

Hey, good point. I forgot they added that.
