earthmonster

yes because the poor would love to have a copy of dayz instead of a warm bed and healthy meal. Go back to your room!

yes breaking the hosting rules of this game( if you can even prove it) is JUST like walking into a police station and admitting a homicide. /facepalm i bet your one of those people that loves drama and talks mad shit even about your friends behind their backs, little bo peep

hey kiddo, you always believe everything you read? I guarantee you I could get money back I paid for something third party regardless of Dayz rules. You must be some jailhouse lawyer.

Cuz this makes sense?! I live in a world of idiots.

I want to have a beard, and I also want to be able to take the pinky or ear from my kills, with nametags on them of course. or dogtags would be cool. Get dogtags for surviving for over 10 days and then you become hunted for your tags as a trophy for your assassin!

FYI, I use it like binoculars mostly as I rarely KOS

I have put miles of ground under my boots and much effort to find one since last patch to no avail. Have they been removed?

EXACTLY my point! I dont rent a server for gear I rent it for fun and to have more control then just being a player. I have built one too many huge bases in epoch to have server stop paying the bill. Which is why i laugh at the guys here who cry cheat and gear continuously. I can easily get geared on any server, right place or right time. I have and can again kill a fully geared guy with an axe, whoopeee! But give me the ability to make it whatever time I please or to create events and lock it down (when private is available) for me and my buddies to have our own war games and im having fun in my book.

I am terribly sorry, I am still trying to find where I said they should be able to lock public servers. I did say the rest, in the correct context of course. And by the way buddy your allowed to lock your server, albeit only for a few minutes. I have never locked mine though, actually I do not even know how through Vilayer. SO do not quote me as arguing the point of being able to lock public servers, I simply never said this. I am fine with how things are at the moment, I have read all that applies to what I am looking to do as far as a server goes. If they keep their word it should not be much longer before I can go private and have a solid server running while I go on the public hive and bandit the bandits. If they renig then I will do as any paying customer should do, ask questions and get answers. Clear?

Myst I challenge you to try just a wee bit of due diligence along the course of sleuthing before you open your mouth again. FACT: Admins renting servers from Gameservers, Vilayer, MPGS, etc etc... have extremely limited options such as set server time (gamebreaking,) the ability to set MOTD (farking HAX,) and kick (god mode,) among a few other very simplistic options. FACT: What game are you playing that your seeing massacres by god mode admins running around in elite iridium coated gear? Oh yeah, your NOT! FACT: There are no teleporting admins. FACT: You are 100% correct, nobody is forcing me to do anything such as renting a server for your enjoyment, or anything else in life for that matter. I have choices that I make based on logic and research. however... Whereas nobody has forced me to do anything against my will such as renting a server on the public hive of DayZ Standalone Alpha release so I can witness the hypocrisy of finger pointers, I am forcing you to do something, a little research on the topic your going to throw your convoluted, whiny, accusatory two cents at before you click post next time. badabing...

^^^^^^^FACEPALM^^^^^^ Folks, this is what I am talking about how can anyone get a point across when the people that cry foul cannot even read. Who on these forums has passed any college courses for English? When did I EVER (check all my posts, try the search box, it is nifty,) say admins should be able to do WHATEVER they want? If you READ what you quoted using basic English comprehension then you would be able to decipher these words, here try a stab at them again, except this time get the doritos out ya mouth and stop yellin at your little sister and concentrate "if its PRIVATE (private!) and they never die... blah blah blah.) Precisely why having a discussion on this topic has become the special Olympics to me. cha ching

A funny point to this private versus public thing that the people (the little people,) keep dramatizing. I have been playing on my server and so funny to engage someone at an airbase only to chase the guy around a corner and POOF hes gone. So whats happening there is worse then what the people crying foul about looting then server hopping as an admin. (which i do not condone which is why i want to go private) But for all you kids that say ban an admin for kicking you, I GUARANTEEEEEE you lot are the guys that combat log when taking fire. Keep it public like this and when private hive is finally available and admins are making some fine ass scripts your gonna be alone server hopping to find the other server hoppers only to find said server hop get fired upon then hop again. I will be making a solid server in the meantime where when you get shot, you aint hoppin nowhere except to the coast. As well as actually seeing some of the same faces unlike what i see now, a constant flip flop of new connects. But meh, lets ban them too eh? Fuck it ban everyone till its only you whiners left so you can then call each other hackers, (cuz no WAY you could ever die, or anyone else could have loot unless they hacked to get it.) ANy adult that has read this thread has had to had a sense of foreboding of what the world is turning out these days as far as well adjusted and sensible children. We are all fucked people! These high school dropouts deserve 75k a year cuz mommy said so! You get what I am sayin?

If it is private and they never die, what business is it of yours? youtroll?

I carry a bible in game also, except I do it as a reminder of the sniper in Saving Private Ryan. That guy was badass with a rifle.

Question: Is the game worth buying at its current state and price... Answer: Yes. "Why Earthmonster?" you ask, simple answer is if Bohemia keeps their word and implements what this whole idea and dream has been for this game it will be fucking awesome in the long run. In the short run it is exceptionally fun just lacking content (which will of course change but that's why you are paying a lowered alpha price.) Could it have been lower then 30 dollars? Sure but would you rather a programmer earns a living and gives it his all or have them hack and slash this thing together while reading the want ads for a better position? I vote no, pay them their money so they can put this together correctly. If in the end they do not deliver what they promised you got it for 30 dollars and never give them a dime again is all. 30 dollars is an hour at a nightclub (shit its the door fee for any good place.) Also paying for it now allows you to hone any skills you will need later, for example navigation, aiming, interaction with the environment. It is always easier to learn in chunks then all at once, and that is one way to look at joining an alpha as it takes its final form. Cheers EM
