WHOA! ROFLMAO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I CANNOT BELIEVE I FOUND THIS. :D http://www.reddit.com/r/dayz/comments/29wda6/please_add_more_realisticplausible_loot_spawns/ ..its your friends work in action.. lol

That was a bug that the devs removed Gunny.. it was not a consensus thing.

Exactly.. also go do some night ops out in the middle of nowhere on a full moon night IRL and you will see that things are pretty much whites and blacks, greyscale. :)

It would help to have an example of the new night lighting..

There is much you are misunderstanding and as such I feel its best for me to.. ..until you have taken the time to research these things. :)

Actually they can change loot on the fly right now and always have been able to. You are on the nail but using the wrong hammer on that one.. see what global loot economy does, and what it ONLY does is take away control of loot spawning from server hosters and modders. It makes so BIS has control over their loot items. That is the end of what it means, and all that it means. They are quite simply not thinking if they want us to hop. If they just want to control people from making 1000 heli servers than thats different, but its not what they are talking about which is very disturbing.. I mean, Devil.. you cant handle people sharing their viewpoints also? Did you honestly think this would not end up a clusterfuck from the gitgo? No one is trolling, they are just stating their views.. well ok, yeah some are outright fucking trolling Im sure but I havent read the whole thing and you know some of these people are like 12 going on 34 so its easy to ignore anyhow. Take your petition to Reddit man.. it will be more effective there anyhow. Rah :)

Well, no. See what Dean described and more thoroughly lately, is that if there is a helicopter part you need. It will only spawn at heli crashes or in a rare place like that. So you will have about 3 places tops to search each server. And you could search the same server for your entire life but if that loot never is assigned to spawn there you will NEVER EVER find it. So what Dean is saying is you will "hear its on another server and you and your clan will go there to try and get it". So he is quite literally saying that BIS wants to promote server hopping to find rare parts that are controlled by the central global hive.

Yeah, I stumbled upon this on my own within my first few times of playing the game.. it shocked the hell out of me how you could use your ping/connection info on the player list to "track" other players.. I told some friends about it who are like me and dont exploit things and then just let it go and forgot about it. I honestly never once after that would even get "alert" when my red chain came up. I would just treat it as a connection loss and slow down for a moment so things could "catch" up. Reading this sort of reminded me of all of that.. and now that I hear its gone, THANK GOD! :D

You know with that forcefield doorway there.. you could hold off quite an impressive force inside there with enough ammo. If anyone tried to throw a grenade in there it would just float in the doorway, you could be behind the corner inside and BOOM it would probably kill your enemies outside more than it would hurt you.. Problem is if you die there you go straight to dayz limbo. Forever. o.O

Oh I love the new NEAF.. its spread out and still offers tons of loot. maybe more than before. Just not so focused on mil loot.. and once you have looted it, just head North to Turlovo or whatever its called for the Hunter Cabin and Jail Building. I think its a wonderful addition and a welcome change.. this way people can start to actually, you know, venture out into the map to get lost and explore. :)

No to petitions.. and if so, make it on Reddit. Only place Dean reads shit anyhow.. So if you do, write this to Dean: MAKE LOOT CONTROL FOR EACH SERVER, NOT GLOBAL FOR THE ENTIRE GAME ACROSS ALL SERVERS. DO NOT PROMOTE SERVER HOPPING. AT ALL. Maybe add in a kiwi bird image or something like that. It may help sway him more away from the dark side.

No. You cannot ask for immersion and then program in a mechanic that makes things dissapear for no good reason. They already have degradation in the game, and this is how things will work. Overtime they will become damaged with use. Lets just wait until 1. we have played the game enough to make assumptions and form ideas and 2. let the devs actually release things first before trying to change how they possibly will implement them. :)

No, that was a minority of server hosts that made their servers that way.. the majority of them were exactly as I described. The good ones at least. I never played on those funky servers.. ever. You would be surprised what setting down a light in a firefight at night, quickly, can do to keep you alive.. ;) I will never understand why people feel the need to respond like this and for some reason cannot respect others opinions and views. Especially when it comes down to exploiting the game, and as you so eloquently put it.. assuming your entire premise to begin with. <_< I quite literally stated it was on 2 separate occasions.. one at night and the next in the morning. That is not server hopping and its not even funny to try to make it a joke because I clearly stated the facts the you had to ignore to make that joke.. it would have been hilarious though if I was unclear to begin with. ;) So kudos for trying! Thats nice. Welcome to Ban Camp! :)

Ive read Rockets comments several times about the central hive, and as I understood it sounded like such a terrible idea.. Until I realized something. MODS. What he is talking about, and I think all of us are misinterpreting is that the dayz mods before had a serious issue with certain servers offering 5,000 vehicles, and 500 helicopters.. and the like. This seriously affects the game as a whole. So when they speak of central hive, I think more or less that is what they are discussing.. not allowing there to be anymore than say 100 NVG's across the entire DayZ world of servers. This would mean that if there are 1,000 servers, only 100 of them at most would have the NVG floating around in them at once. This helps keep certain modders from making things too off balance and out of control unless they find a way to get off that central hive system.. "ahem, arma3+dayzSA mod"... cough, cough. This would not be the nightmare scenario of server hopping, as they would not be connected to your same player.. see the point now? What he means is you will hear that the [Z.NU] Europe West server of the SA mod called DayZero has at least 2 working helo's on its server currently via forum posts or whatever.. people will post proof via video and images, etc. to let others know, "I we have this.. come and get some." Or whatever it may be. But you will see that and tell your friends and want to maybe hop on that server, Ill be it as a fresh spawn if you've never played there, so that you can take a crack at stealing their heli or shooting it down. I dont think he intends to have each and every server connected, and that is just not possible with mods. But Im sure they fear the game being modded into something out of control, and if they have a central hive controlling the loot based on server count numbers then well.. that just makes really good sense. #JustSayNoToServerHopping :) This has been a public service announcement. Thank you!

So yep confirmed.. the tower does not seem to obey the laws of gravity. Im not gonna lie.. I got the hell out of there after that.

Go back! Id love to find out what actually happened :)

I would sure love it if it is.. can anyone confirm this? Im not a big handcuffing kind of guy, and dont have any friends near me to try it out quickly that would be willing to die now that I think of it.. I guess I dont HAVE to actually break their neck.. too tempting though ;) http://www.reddit.com/r/dayz/comments/29vhjl/exp_when_unarmed_and_crouched_you_can_now_do_this/

I figured.. just wanted to confirm because of how much I would like to hear its actually real ;)

Yeah Im held up on the couch with some torn tendons in my foot.. baby is asleep so cant even go for a drive. Just stuck with my Bushmills and some internets.

It sounds to me like he was setting up a shop.. he came loaded with loot, and then was probably looting the entire building up above and filling all the shelves with them. Maybe he had some grand plan that you made him abort due to fear of being killed? Was an empty server?

Now I know why he logged.. :huh:

Looks like it should go to the runner up then.. Krackman :)

Thats a lot like how I do it, but for me its more on an open level.. for lack of better terminology. I will play any way that comes across my mind that sounds fun, but each character I sort of try to form a story and I always do things differently each time. Ive never lived the same life twice in dayz, not even close.. :P

oh dayum.. I dont think Im willing to trek across Chernarus with my full M4 kit unicorn character for an MP5.. sorry man, I totally misunderstood. Now if you want to trek towards me, we could meet at say Devils Castle and I could make it there reasonably? (Im am West of NWAF) :(

Wait, is this on stable? I thought it was on experimental? My character is like 9km from there right now if its on stable :(
