I hope for an M-rating so that we can keep the blood, gore and horror elements. Anything less would suck.

Emphasis on "then flame people for not believing you" and "Sending an appeal to BE themselves would suffice. If enough people can prove they weren't guilty, they'll look at it".

You don't go to a forum for a mod where there is an abundant amount of hackers and say you are banned for hacking and that you are innocent (just like most actual hackers do) and then flame people for not believing you. Sending an appeal to BE themselves would suffice. If enough people can prove they weren't guilty, they'll look at it. You people are just stupid as hell.

Use DayZ Commander. It keeps track on which server you connect to and lists it in history.

I'd really like to know if this server can be considered reliable. My other home servers keep failing me now and I desperately need a home. I don't know what happened to my camp. My tent and white off-road was gone when I logged in yesterday, now my tent is there agian but completely empty, which makes little sense. Has anyone raided a camp around Gorka with a white off-road and one tent? I'd love it if the server could not fail every other restart, it would make it a lot more reliable. Cheers

Tents and vehicles gone again.

If there is a perfect place to scare people through direct comms, GM is it. Lying in pile of dead bodies with a with some horror soundboard in the middle of night on a populated server would totally be an interesting experience.

If you take out the items inside the tents and then save them, will those items be forever gone?

Decided to come back and see how the server is doing. I experienced no issues throughout the first restart, although I had no tents or vehicles to take care of. Now (just 10 min ago) the server crashed (any intel on the situation here?). Will be interesting to see if my newly stolen white off-road will stay where I left it (saved it) and if my new tents will work. Otherwise I'll say goodbye to about 7 top-tier weapons :P Edit: Vehicle still there and got a new magic tire. Tent was wiped clean but still stood in the same place.

Maybe implement a vast customization system where players could dress the way they want? You know the bandits would be the first to put leather jacket on, lots of symbols, spikes, decorations, camo, aggressive face, etc. while the friendly survivor would be more likely to put on normal t-shirts, jeans, coat, jacket, simple textures and a kind/normal face. I sure would shoot a character with leather jacket + cloth spikes + lame hairstyle + angry face + piercings + symbols at fucking sight. I would feel more confident in making contact with a normal looking survivor. The problem would solve itself without having magical head towels appearing on people's heads.

You are right. I just saw a YT video with the old sounds and someone in the comments said they were from L4D, which I then realized was true. I hope to hear some new sounds implemented soon, though. It's a huge part of the atmosphere. Current sounds of the zeds are really goofy.

Fuck, you quoted me before I could edit my fail in the first sentence. *facepalm*. It's quite comical, though. :P

Scientific illiteracy at its finest worst. Edit: Above quote is, ironically enough, from a now deleted topic (the one OP here linked to). Sexuality is determined by genes first and foremost and it is not a disorder. It's a biological preference. Only in a primitive society where biological evolution via reproduction is crucial to the survival and prosperity of a species does sexual preference matter in the sense that homosexuality would be considered a counter-productive trait. It matters fucking nil in this day and age in human society where biological reproduction is abundant and even detrimental to our progress. As for forum moderation; while there are times when things go out of hand (such as posts with graphic or excessively repulsive content), I find it a good thing that moderation (what I'm really talking about is censorship) is kept at a minimum. People have no right to not be offended, only the right to not be abused. I also want to point out that definitions and contextual use of words are constantly changing. "Gay" used to mean happy, now it's used for both describing homosexuality as well as a substitute for "lame" in all kinds of contexts. Unless words are clearly used in a way that is meant to offend, there is no need to be offended by it. I have ADD ("on top" of Asperger's) - do you even realize how ofter "ADD" is used as a synonym to "overstimulated" and "immature kiddo with the attention span of a toddler"? I don't care, because they aren't really referring to the neurological deficit I suffer from.

I wish there weren't an abundance of NVGs and that we couldn't exploit the gamma-setting. I want to play without it, but I just can't ignore the fact that most other players can see me as though it were daytime. I miss scary nights...

Of all things people dupe, why not sandbags and other creative tools to help build something actually creative? People just dupe the lame stuff like high-end military equipment. How does that make the game more interesting? Everyone complains about the lack of tools to do stuff in this sandbox but can't seem to take their eyes off of the gear. It's all about the gear. Dupe tools instead. Build a big ass fort and people would stop objecting to the duping as much. This is what Rocket means when he says we should make our own rules and police the world with our own creative minds. He must be sighing at the mindless obsession for the gear. If we want to make the game fun, we have to do the right things. 1. Set up a couple of tents. 2. Dupe nothing but toolboxes, entrenching tools, sandbags, wire and tank traps. 3. Build a big fucking structure. 4. Organize a community to maintain order and structure within the 'facility'. 5. Take strike teams out to travel and explore. 6. Collect and repair vehicles. 7. Collect supplies, tools and everything else needed and avoid duping that shit. 8. ???? 9. Enjoy a unique, player-driven experience in this sandbox. Edit: Not that I wanna promote duping, but who's gonna stop players from doing what they are already doing anyway? Duping sandbags for example could even result in something good; like Rocket taking note of what adds to the game (provided he didn't expect it). Sandbags are way too rare in my experience. I have yet to loot a single one in over 200h gameplay.
