Who says warZ won't have its own share of problems? Hopefully the threat of competition will push dayZ to deal with the problem.

Yes, DayZ has 1 million players now but remember once upon a time everyone used Netscape. Everyone used Wordperfect and everyone in the know had a Palm Pilot. It can easily go the other way once someone else figures out how to do this. It could even be another mod for ArmA2.

I like everything off because I don't want to play guardian angels versus zombies. Sorry :)

I guess it wasn't hopscotch. :(

It's not bad. It's just that when you are in someone's store, you don't post ads to competing stores on the wall. This is the DayZ forum by the DayZ creator and it is disrespectful to post about specific non-DayZ spinoffs.

I don't think the Hive model is sustainable and dayZ will probably have to go the private server route in order to survive.

There is the DayZ that actually exists that you have a problem with even though it has proved to be a fantastic success. And there is the imaginary DayZ that Rocket didn't create and that you have no intention of creating, that you think will be the best game ever invented.

I'm OK with ID's but only if the other player is 5-10 m away

Hopscotch?

You mean nobody below the age of 13.

You are right. We need a game where we can only use water guns that shoot Mountain Dew and Skittles and everyone will live happily ever after.

They aren't cheating. They aren't alt-f4'ing. They are just playing DayZ the way it's meant to be played and you still have a problem with it?

That's right. Hacker in gaming usually means someone who has great skillz.

Always suspect a trap

It's not going to leave alpha if there's no difference between a legit bug and a hack. That's why alphas are usually private so there is no outside interference.

He can by moving away from a hive server model and towards a private server model.

If private servers solve many of the problems that DayZ is facing then that's where the community will end up going (dayZ got to this point because of word of mouth and that will also lead people to those servers). Rocket can't force people to not go to a private server because it is 100% legal.

Hackers come up with new stuff. Kiddies just copy and paste scripts they found on the web.

So did I and several other people. :)

Or we can just kill each other in DayZ.

Now you are complaining about your own post!

It's like Windows. It wasn't designed to be bulletproof but everyone loved it and Microsoft had to secure it, step by step, without throwing out all the compatibility.

I don't want a dayZ with dumbed down ballistics. I like the DayZ where you can figure out where North is by looking at the stars and position of the sun. You're not going to get this kind of fidelity with another engine.

I notice there's a similar thread created before dayZ actually reached a million.

This is the kind of "make your own story" that I like to see more of in DayZ
