Hello all, I was recently thinking about what type of end game or team features/events could be added to the game in later development or arma 3 (with dayz) I came up with a few that add a new team dynamic and survival asspect to the game. 1. The Drought Somehow players will be informed there is a drought coming. Players will have to stockpile water/drinks. After a given time, Pumps will stop working. Inland water sources will dry up (or cant use). Drink drop chances massively reduced. This drought phase can last for a few days to a week. Solo Bandit players will either have to constantly farm cities to find drinks. Team up with other bandits. Go north in search of water stockpiles from survivors. Survivors can find new allies to team up with and stockpile water. Existing survivor groups will need to raid cities to collect water bottles/drink. 2. The Freeze Again, Somehow players will be informed of a coming freeze. During the freeze temp drop will be massively increased. Heatpack drop rates reduced. Fire rate of heating reduced. Here I was thinking if Cargo nets (like the ones near berinzino* military tents) could become an item you could set them up to avoid the rain. Instead of having to run to a shelter in a town or city, as the rain would cool you down much faster during the freeze. Players would need to stock up on heatpacks. Find a decent place to camp, near a town or city to seek shelter if you did not have a cargo net/vehicle. Bandits, would have to stock firewood to build in their camping spots (in towns) These last 2 I haven't given much thought to, will edit later once I 3. Fallout/Sickness Haven't thought out the details. Only that if it was a fallout you would need to find anti radiation meds, and with a sickness antibiotics. 4. The Herd (not sure if arma 2 engine could support) Put simply, Zombie numbers would be massively increased, and they could spawn anywhere on the map. If your camped with a bunch of teammates currently 50 of them could spawn 50m away from you, charge your base, which you would have to defend. The ideas behind all of these would be to increase teamwork, and the chances of teaming up with other players. All of these suggestions are very realistic, and very deadly. To add a feature that would force you, to work, to survive. Feedback? Thanks, Mitchell

Are there still hackers? I have had a player harass my whole group over a couple days. Each time we moved base the player is not on, but when the player gets on, she finds the new base and shoots the whole place up, she always combat logs, moves to a new area and continues firing at us. She is teamed up with 2 others which we kill them most of the time, but she never dies. always combats logs. Is there still hacks? like a hack where on your map players are revealed? Invisiblity? Autoaim? I thought all the hackers where banned, but it still seems there are hackers. Not a QQ thread. just a question. Thanks, Mitchell

Yeah, I have read that battleye is not the best. Would be nice if we could get the one that Steam uses. I believe it is a very good anti cheat software.
-
I'm not going to be bugging anyone, Just curious as to why hackers are still here after that massive amounts of bans that were handed out a couple weeks back.

Leaving Mod for now
Xterminator (DayZ) replied to [email protected]'s topic in New Player Discussion
Have you tried playing with a group? I play with a team, yesterday, we raided cherno and elektro for about 2 hours. there was nine of us. covering all angles of the city, even made a barb wire system for our retreat out. was the most fun i have had in this mod so far. Playing with a group is way more fun than going solo. I found a group while i was still going solo in cherno and elektro. that group joined a bigger group now there is over 20 of us. -
Didn't mommy ever teach you..
Xterminator (DayZ) replied to dellamorte's topic in New Player Discussion
I lol'ed so hard. My mommy didnt teach me anything about surviving in a zombie Apocalypse, -
I see your point, but there is more than enough loot in the game currently. Its so easy to find basic supplies. The increase in animals also really helps while finding food. Water bottles are found empty in almost every loot area (military, residential) The small towns up north, I only visit them looking for cars as there is still spawns of cars that are not listed in the wiki.

This game is far from easy, People are used to being "baby'ed" on other games. Most likely you play the game way to fast. The main towns are a bad place for newly spawned players. The best stuff in the game is not found in the cities, Crash heli, airports, dear stands, and other northern areas have the best loot, even though they are highly traveled areas, the amount of people you will encounter up north is much lower than down south. -
I love server hoppers. I just camp the North barracks and people will spawn in and crawl to the entrance and I can easily get headshots on them with my DMR. I love their tears once I kill them. "come on man, I'm just farming" farm the hard way, not the easy way. I will kill you every time you come to my server.

ETA on female skins? I wanted to see what the female skins looked like, but i noticed they werent out yet.

dayzmap.info Learn the spawn points, Find the nearest loot area, head there, and get yourself a gun. It doesnt take a rocket scientist to get a gun 5 minutes after you spawn.
-
Check some of the residential areas nearby. They usually spawn morphine.
-
If you see someone, give them a salute, the best way to find friends in the game, is to be the friendly one, tell them through direct chat where you are and your saluting. probably 80% of the time the person wont shoot you, and probably 50% that person will team up with you.

Tips for locations to go to after spawning?
Xterminator (DayZ) replied to despair (DayZ)'s topic in New Player Discussion
Elektro, go to the general store, go in and out in 3 minutes if you here shots just stop and listen for a couple mins before continuing. Cherno, I would go to the 5 apts complex, near the hospital, Everytime I loot there. I get a main weapon, alice pack, tons of food and water, a new pistol, med supplies, and utility stuff (map, compass, ect) -
Right Control + M

Howzer, That was hilarious, well done.

Server Hoppers.
Xterminator (DayZ) replied to Xterminator (DayZ)'s topic in DayZ Mod General Discussion
My buddy died in that barracks with the same equipment from a player spawning behind him. I was covering him from the outside for anyone spawning in and crawling to the door when he told me that he was killed. He didnt blame you, He would have shot you if spawning in behind someone :) -
