good to see you had a lot of valuable input to add to this topic (no wonder your post count is so high) But also... if powerful and good item where rare. imagine the good feeling you get from finding it, and owning it. No longer is it something you can get in 10 mins, but a special item worth keeping alive for. real rare loot would rock, people that have it feel special (some are already speical people, if you know what i mean :P) and others would have a goal of obtaining such items. Added: at the moment, everyone can get best kit as long as they have some basic skills. just so much of it.

So Zombies can nearly KOS now.. yay. maybe they are worth shooting. Sure it is an ass then they glitch attack, but they may have learnt that from hackers and exploiters. Cleaver little Zd-heads

Few more bad ideas: -Hot hair balloon (cant steer them :P) -Vote Kicking -1pp one only (DemonGroover started the war :P) -Night vision goggles (But think they happening) -Comb over's (thing would get to real!) -More ammo/food -Pay to win style online items store -Bling (rings and stuff, don't need the extra rendering costs) -Armoured vehicles (like tanks and APCs) -Poop/excretion system (Don't think anyone wants that, but has be brought up before) Added: Child zombies (some thing just don't need to be added)

I am a very very cautious player (always running in zigzags and direcdtional changes) who runs all over the map and avoids military based (Unless i get lost, then i turn and run) But most the time, if i happen across a player, they shoot at me. and i don't go around with a weapon out, not dress in mill gear, and until i found the SKS was good for hunting (exp), i would only have a sawn off shot gun in my bag, so i didn't look armed. added: and as i very rarely go to military bases or big town, still surprised at the ammo i can find. Fully expect to get killed in bases and big towns \/ i don't count these as dm style kills, personal research an knew i would die \/ even though it was silly to sit in a not so safe area (not run an sit, but pick a place sit and wait for a while), was a test. Funny how many players shoot you thinking your logging out and wont notice lol

It dayz forum, sometimes we get carried away :P

I guess your right about their being lots of ammo for testing. but there is more ammo than pens or batteries. Cus of this, others parts of the game cant get tested as you have to DM all the time. So even at this early stage, ammo does need reduction (at least for the weapons that are lable as well tested) I see the screen shots of backpack filled with ammo/guns and no food and no tools. as all that is getting tested is guns. (too much food as well lol)

For from it. Having rare kick ass weapon will probably make you a bigger target. For one, people will want that gun and two, you become the biggest threat, therefore, need removing. Just like when dean (I think it was) talked about getting a very rare night vision goggle (not in game yet). That you better watch out, as your a prized target (Not his word, just the jist)

I'm confused. If 1pp was more wanted, there would be more 1pp server. Put asides visual hacks and insult for a second (Though was funny to read) but Dayz has provided the option and people are making their choices (vote with your feet). Also I believe Dazy want to keep they game open to as many players they can, and a lot of people like 3pp for many reasons. For one, i cant stand the breathing noise in 1pp and l like to take photos of my player for stories, so don't insult all 3pp in one go. if there are less and less 1pp servers then that's how the game is and maybe its not for you (cus everyone keeps saying it lol. Games being made for the wider market not just you). Just like, if they don't add private hives so I can get away from the boring KOSing, then this game will not be for me, but I'm happy to take part in development and see what happens. Saying 3pp should not be in the game, but it is and people are using that more, make no sense at all. On the forums (me included) people come to vent about things they don't like, we don't hear form all the others that are happy with the 1pp/3pp choice. DayZ has it 2 variants of the game, why would you remove one? people just pick the one they want, for what ever reason. You just want people to play your way, so you have more people to play with (Mommy, the others kids wont play with me!)

banna.. wlak with fuit in hand :P

Kill count stats! and not adding more bobble hats

remote inventory looting ,that would be bad radar Lo0t locating and so on

i wonder if BIS set this up as a honey pot, to mass ban cheaters...saw infoabout bans coming :P

I cant see the problem with the costs. I been paying for an SL server for 10 years, costing around 300US a month averaged out. Servers include many costs... Management (updates and other crap they deal with) Depreciation (Equipment loses value over it life time, its normal to charge that to customer on rentals) Bandwidth (so add what you pay for your phat connection) and maybe security (probably null) and maybe future upgrades as a % .. sadly people think... i can buy a computer and run a sever at a fraction of the cost, well yeah. just like i can build my own computer for 30% the cost of a retail. Severs are service option only at this point. when private hives are option, then maybe files will be open. But to force it in alpha cus people are fed up with all the costs.. they should just leave it! Its a bit like a kid crying to thier mom to get the next 'play box' or 'x-station', till they give in and get it one a credit card! Added: aslo them SL sever had a 1000US set up fee, you kids got it easy! ALso ; 'They won't take action. If they attempted to it will get publicly leaked and they'll be screwed' Don't be so sure, would be nice to see a hacker get what they deserve :P awards for BIS, and respect from industry Rant: Kids have no Idea these days, just want want want! And , remember, no one is forcing you to give them money for servers lol. if you don't want to but you still do, seek professional help! Ironic: Oh now this Gucci bag cost so much and dose not represent the labor needed, im gonna buy it and then complain! Math: when private hives, 10 friends pay for a server, like 1 US or less a month... (why you so stupid ?) and have all the rights and mod you want... as I believe its planed for private hives and mods (but not in alpha!)... Domo is a prick lol (they want it now, and stomping their feet.. that only works with mommy lol. and if i upset baby domo, i guess my account is next :P) Sage: on thing alpha access developers will learn, make alpha access 10X retail , so they know they are paying to support and not for a game! (but if they do then they need to give out benefits, like ELITE Dangerous did)

I knew it! also... I sure DaYz will implement this when game is near completion but, just so people know that these exploits and hacks can be killed later on. The stuff they don't move to server side, probably ammo and inventory managment, location and so on, well it simple to stop it with triple or move check values that are encrypted. so if someone memory edits one, and the rest don't add up to last check, it could make that thing null and example... a game i played , was so easy to hack infinite cash, spoiled the game, next version, they have a 7 step conformation system of encrypted values (no real extra load on script needs). if you didn't change all of them correctly (no one manage it yet) you player blow up lol. But they cant put that sort of things in at this stage, image if they forgot to update part of the check/validate code, we all get messed up! Added: Cool thing about encrypted multi values, if they ever broken, small update and the hacker have to spend ages again to crack Added, Added: and check are all client side, and don't impact server. also safe for me to tell this info, cus the hacker all know of this stuff and cant beat it

if you don't like something or how something it done, you protest buy not funding it. Like when banks who invested in wars lost customers (So long ago, but it worked and things chabged). These people should just not buy the game and not rent servers (no one was forcing them) to make a point and let people that are willing to pay, pay. All they have done is make a worry/problem for all players and forced/shared their opinions with a lot of people that were happy with things. As someone touch on before; they are the ones dictating how things should be, using actions to try and force companies to do things their way. I was not happy with EA game, guesses what i did! your right, i stopped giving them my cash lol. These hacker have cheated all players that don't share their opinion. saddest thing is, i don't think they can see that! Think we know who are the bad guys here... I hope BIS does take action for the theft of IP

hope the gear cheat is left over Debug/testing code in the client (so devs could load out any player for testing) and therefor, will just be removed.

May Bis should stop all development for 6 months, give out there own cheats and name it CheatZ. So that all the script kiddies will have wasted their cash and know how it would feel if we all cheated :P Yeah I know, that's stupid, but I only just saw the existent of the hacks out their and its put me of dayz for now (private hive it will be). All that time I spend sneaking around and running like a brain damaged monkey on a server with 3 people, just to keep safe. Also wondering how, when I have avoided someone, run away without them seeing me , then hid, they manage to hunt me down very efficiently (and then I saw radar, so they not even feeling the panic of chance encounters). And now the loot from a distance. this is not a QQing, its just not what I would call a fun game. Even if its only a few cheaters, it become an aspect of the game you have to take into account and spoils the atmosphere.

Rare.. rarity. so like in in 1000 zombies has something special. not goanna = infinite loot. and zombies will get loot as planned. example, rather than have GPS/NNVG in buildings (and server hopping, even with delay thing, it will happen if it spawns in buildings). maybe only can rarely find it on military zombies.

will wait till experimental files are on stable, so i can get a longer story, using low populated servers

will save you a beer and some nuts :P

these sort of people have limited skills and no 'cool' so they hide way too survivor and KOS, so they feel like its a win (rather than take a risk of a Western stand off, they just kill)... but sadly, they are missing out on so much, if players could interact more (lol hear that on other threads, and they mean with guns , but i mean talk), they can have more fun (and so can the rest of the proper players). turns from PVP death match to... well people that have took the time to try and interact, know the fun :) No skill in hiding away and shooting someone that didn't know you where there... Some say, you could take more care, but that spoils the game, having to take agsadurate precautions, just not to bee shot by an opportunist (have done that and survived very well, but is not as fun, spoiled the atmosphere, having to think there are random sniper that kill for now reason - one would not waste ammo or risk them being caught attacking a stranger in survival, with out a reason for gain - just bad survival). they spoil what the game as it is meant to be, and we get a lot of flack on forums saying.. 'Bambi' and such... but most of them are just wanting a pvp game... hope Dayz is not gonna become a PVP base building clan game. also steam have is age check for dayz, must be 18, and a lot of players are 12 lol... tut tut, you lied to steam! Added: i have been attacked a few time where a player knocks me out, takes what they want, heals me up and lets me go... thats skill. its a game, sure, so maybe Role play a life is worth something, and make it fun! farm survivors, don't just kill them (take high level skill)

my first player kill, not a KOS... as i was medic with a pistol only... but they took down my friends, i ran, then snuck back and killed them all with a pistol, while they where looting my teams corpes

was thinking about this too, if they gave zombies some good 'rare' loot, maybe only available on zombies (as if the person before zombification, took the good stuff), then people would rather hunt zombies for loot :P *when they add zombie loot in time* added: kill zombie, get map to winchester pub, and wait for it to all blow over :P

Woke up and grabbed a drink to freshen my breath and headed to the old Mill works... maybe my father was still there. Things at my father work place seem even more messed up, so I hid in his office and coved my ears.. just hoping things would get better... After a while I knew I needed to get out. Knowing things had gone bad, I worked my way through the town, looking for a friend or escape from this madness and then... Someone kill the story. Sniper! (sorry no more story) taken out while fighting zombies. they pick me as a target and not the zombies >< spoils the fun :( added: maybe they killed my for my extensive items, or my over powering kit threat. Of that they are playing dayz as fragg match :( and saw an easy kill and only stop to attack the zombie for a piccy for the story, then sniped :( Added, added: cant help but feel that people that hide out a snipe anyone that happens along their sigh is missing a lot of dayz fun. but we all play at different levels. in time they may play :)

Do you try to build an outfit, or just go for the best items. Do you pick a nice hat over a ballistic helmet?
