I think some great work has been put into this patch and hope they keep up to this standard.

Never mind eh soon you can pick some berries and everything will be fine.

Why cruel world does every other thread have to be about how someone gets shot too much or there tired of KOS or even they have the best idea on how to fix PVP and make everything into a happy holdy hands PVE experience. But really it's not all that hard if you wanted to just test the game go on the many low pop server out there, but I guess your just annoyed because you die not because you can't be number tester NA. Just try and be more aware and you'll find that you die somewhat less.

This thread should be closed or merged with the bzillion others like it.

Spread the word of the almighty lord to the barbaric natives.

I don't understand some peoples hostility on these servers forums sometimes it seems even the most docile thread like I opened a can of beans IRL can turn into an argument. But I second the idea that yo should try doing it without a counter-top and just with your hand or on your knees to see if it spills.

This is very true a study has been done at the university of Cambridge and they found in 100% of cases where the test subject had been server hopping they soon contracted H.I.V and within 24hours full blown aids. In all seriousness like other people have stated it is an exploit and doesn't require an in depth answer why you shouldn't do it, if that isn't enough for you not to do it nothing will be.

Use the search function for the suggestion/ideas that you have and if you don't see them then post a topic about it and the clear thinking of us will give you some constructive feedback. I have a dream that one day there won't be a million KOS or this game is bad ino its in alpha threads, come share the dream with me.

FLAME THREAD TO STRONK PLEASE NERF.

I was asked by a friend to go play the mod again, but I never would I would just miss all the new things from SA and TBH I have played the various mods for over a year there boring to me now and even though SA is a bit bare right now I still prefer it to the mod.

I would vote but my KOS criteria changes on the situation I try not to KOS at all I prefer to hold up and rob or just follow people for funsies. IMO you get a lot more fun out of doing other things to people other than just shooting them in the face.

On release day even though I had played the mod for over a year and half not knowing the new control set I also had mix feelings of excitement and anxiety from being insta killed so when I did run into my first real life human being I punched him in the head and stole his backpack and ran away in fear of reprisal shouting. "SORRY"

TROLL TO STRONK PLEASE NERF.

You can do the same with bags as well you can put a full hunters backpack into a hikers bag the 35 slot one and then I believe you can put that bag in another hikers bag and the bagception begins.

Nice man I hope this venture carries on bearing fruit, Me and my group of friends used to go down to Balota to try and stop the massive deathmatch that used to occur because you were always guaranteed to find fresh spawn killers down that way, the problem with doing that though is if we spent too long down there clearing it we would then be mistaken for the fresh spawn killers.

I quite like the idea of possibly losing something if your wearing ruined clothes because they would assuredly have holes and it seems rather plausible. That aside it would be cool if you could fix clothes as well so you become attached to them in the lonely sexless world of DayZ.

I currently have 80 odd hours mostly racked up before and over the Christmas period been taking a break since new year so the game stays fresh and fun when new stuff comes out.

You are right people should play the way they want to, but if there were hero and bandit skins they would be forced on everyone even those that don't want them which IMO is not a good idea.

Very nice thread, I just hope all those new people to Day Z who make a forum account just to come and moan about KOS come and read this first just to set some things straight for them. also I am really surprised at how many new people are now playing this game I have nothing against noobs as at some point or other we are all noobs to a game but the new players that are coming to Day Z need to lower their expectations somewhat.

Some really nice ideas burlap sack will be cool when it does finally get implemented into the game, smoking just for RP reasons or maybe it could calm your nerves and help you snipe or even be somewhat more accurate with a weapon not sure if it would actually do this IRL but it was really cool in the Metal Gear Solid series but playing dead is my favorite idea of them all can't see any down side to it being implemented in Day Z, I doubt it would help much but it would still be super fun to troll people.

I don't think anything should be forced on anyone in terms of making them look a certain way because they are a bandit or a hero even if it was just an armband I just don't think that is the direction the game is or should be heading in, but if people wanna have some sort of hero or bandit identification then it should be somewhat unofficial and made by the community E.g. A hero could wear a cap and certain color jeans to indicate that he is a hero obviously there is problems with this because bandits could just wear the same thing to disguise themselves but then IMO that would add to the gameplay.

To survive the longest that I can and when I do die try and learn from my mistakes all the while doing it with my friends. Great game gonna be even greater some day.

Nice this thread has gone down hill somewhat since i last looked at it. it would be nice if people were a little more constructive with their feedback and didn't take everything as a personal slight.

Best post I've seen in this thread some really good points as I have said in the past it is a problem but not a big one there is a million other things that need to be sorted before this.

Now some discussion has been happening over this recently on the forums and even within my own group of friends. So What is your preference and why? I personally have always gravitated towards private hive servers and not because it stops server hopping as that can be stopped with the simple implementation of a downtime every time you join a new server, but more because of the community that builds around a private hive server you get to know everyone if you play on it long enough the douche bags the guys that can help you when your in a fix it's great but a lot of the community came from side channel which currently is not in the SA and I am not sure yet if I want it in or if it was implemented for there to be no voice side channel so we don't have to listen to people rage when they die there are pros and cons to both private and public hive and below I will try and update them as you guys post comments on you own opinions. Public Hive Pros - you can switch the server if you encounter bad performance, a hacker or anything else you don't like about the server. - no power abusing admins and admin friends. - no donator gear, donator bases/houses, donator helicopter etc. - no extra loot, buildings etc. Cons - It encourages people to ghost. - server hopping. - no possibility to rollback server after hacker attack. Private Hive Pros - You get to learn the location of tents & cars. - You get to know the players you play with & some private hives even have forums. - There will be admins only focusing on their server. - Sense of community. - No ghosting or server hopping. - possibility to rollback server after hacker attack. Cons - If the server sucks, crashes or goes down, your character is lost. - Possible bad admins and admin friends getting free loot.
