This isn't a QQ thread. I'm worried that what happened to the mod will happen to the SA. DayZ is meant to be an authentic zombie apocalypse survival simulator. People buy it for fun, but it does not need to be easy to be fun. If you want it to be easy so it can be fun for you, you are playing the wrong game. Surviving is fun, tense gunfights are fun, dying can even be fun. Everything is tense, harsh, and out to get you. This should not change. What will make it change? Private Hives with the logic of "Lets make everything super easy and not challenging at all."

The problem is, private hives inflate the server market and there will be NO VANILLA SERVERS left for me to play on. Which throws my enjoyment out of the water. Plus, if you bought DayZ, you should be looking for a challenge. I guess hacking, server hopping, combat logging, and ghosting are okay, because people enjoy playing the game that way? Also, you use the f-word way too often. Yet again, this makes you appear hostile. Instead of being civil, you remain a tone of anger and stubborn-ness. I guess you enjoy logging onto a server to find a DMR and a Ghillie Suit already on your character, despite having just joined? Isn't that fun, removing one of the main features of the game, which is gearing up? Sure is fun to remove all the tension of being a fresh spawn....

No. I love games that you can mod. I love games where mods actually ADD to the game. For example, I enjoy L4D2 mods because the content there allows you to PERSONALIZE your gameplay experience and also allows you to get new content, basically for free. I also love the mods available for FO:NV, as they add hours of content to the game, all just for your time. At first, when people brought up the argument "Please no modding / Private Hives on DayZ", I was sketchy. I'm all for letting the players contribute to the game by modding, but then I remembered the experience I had on the mod. DayZ is a game where allowing people to pussify the experience doesn't add to the game. Mods can be great, I'd love new maps. All I am saying is that there needs to be a limit on how easy you can make the game by removing, basically, all of the challenge. You're making a broad assumption. Another game I love with mods? Starbound. Another game I love with mods? Far Cry 3. Etc. Etc. Etc.

That "Who the fuck are you to tell people how to play the game?" was hostile and uncalled for. If you are going to argue against my point, please be civil. Now, since the initial post was a bit rushed and simplified, let me explain to you why private hives tore apart the mod. Firstly, private hives can be good. The problem is, a lot of private hives on the mod ended up taking away most of the difficulty from the game. Instead of adding cool user-made content, it just made the game easier. It made it less about survival and more of an open world deathmatch with zombies and cars at every corner. Now, this is fine if those servers that are basically pissing on the intended experience are isolated. The problem is, the market for DayZ Mod servers got FILLED with them. Private Hives with stuff like self-bloodbag, increased rate of vehicle spawns, and military-grade spawning loadouts outnumber vanilla public hive servers on the mod. I had legitimate trouble finding a server on the mod where I didn't spawn with a gun, or where the spawnrates of both weapons and vehicles were increased drastically. You're putting the argument out that I shouldn't be allowed to "tell people how to play the game". Well, here is the problem, pal. If Private Hives emerge in the Standalone that pussify the experience, I will no longer be able to play the game how I like to. Which is without the ability to bloodbag myself, spawn in with a sniper, and find an SUV on every single street in the map. That isn't fun to me. Spawning in with end-game shit is not fun to me. Plus, getting shot at by admins who spawned themselves in guns isn't fun either, especially when they can ban you if you kill them. Look at Rust, a game I don't really like (for good reasons). It has tons of issues with admin abuse. I don't want DayZ SA to have these issues, though we're already seeing them with the abuse of kicking (though this can get their server taken down, yay.)

Report them to their hosting service, as they are not allowed to kick players on their server. Since it is connected to the hive, they can't just kick you to keep you off of their "looting grounds."

*Kriss YOU DEAR MISSPELL MY BELOVED SUBMACHINE GUN AGAIN AND I WILL.. W-WILL DO THINGS TO YOUR UMP.

Not yet. Thank golly.

You should use the edit button- It allows you to edit your original post without having to make another.

You're being a bit rude. The built in search function when you enter the topic name did not come up with anything like this. Its almost as if you think I'm infringing on your "idea". I was wondering if someone had came up with this, which is good! Because it is a good idea. Its realistic, and just adds to the immersion. I guess the topic name auto-search isn't working, as it did not come up. I apologize, but at least this isn't a KoS / MORALTIYISGISD thread.

I really don't know what you guys are getting at, it is a bit confusing. Basically, you would of course holster what you have while eating. The point of the L Hand / R Hand is so that you can hold multiple objects realistically in your hands, such as a handgun / flashlight or handgun / handgun or even hatchet (if they ever add one, it would be a shortened splitting axe) / bag, etc etc

Didn't even think about that! Great idea.

I hope they at least think about it- Dean appears to enjoy Zomboid and they've been taking ideas from that game. You can hold a plastic bag and an axe in Zomboid, the axe being a bit less effective but the bag providing carrying space. It is really handy, realistic, and makes you feel as if you can actually get creative with holding stuff. Plus, it would allow people to choose how they hold their weapons. Everyone holds their guns in DayZ in the perfect, most reliable way, but what if I want to go around rockin' a stylin' M1911 in one hand without giving a single shit about using my other hand to help myself aim? Sure, I'm putting myself at a disadvantage, but I get to have a bit of style with how I combat others. Nothing like executing someone with only one hand on the pistol, really.

If you want a LRS, we can work something out. Of course, I'm going to need the holy orange raincoat.

Would be neat, a carnival would be cool, too.

If you didn't starve so fast, running North is a good bypass to the instant looting of the coast on a full server. UNFORTUNATELY, you'll be dying of starvation by the time you get to a town with a chance of beans. btw op you are a bit hostile

I love this idea. I want to handcuff people to a ledge coming right off of the apartment building, so they just hang there, waiting for someone to shoot them or for the handcuffs to break and for them to fall to their deaths.

No. No. And another No. This isn't Nether.

I agree with 100% of your posts. You beat me to what I was going to post. EVERY. TIME.

Will never replace my improvised backpack, isn't survive-y enough.

Snaploaders allow you to not have to hit tab to drag your shells into your badass manhood show of a shotgun.

the sad truth: a bleeding 11 year old sprayed into me with his M4 and i died and the beautiful jacket went down with me

I'd suggest screaming about George Bush's Oil Hard On in Berezino to test out your mic.

Your cover is shit and I would be able to shoot you with a 1-shot chambered only FNX45 from 700 meters away, due to the fact you are using a PU scope and not an LRS.

Always saw it off, because those who do not saw off their shotguns are not fit to live in this kind of world.

I say we all go laugh at how shallow the Enclave and the BoS are in Fallout 3, one being supar evil and the other being holy savior good guys!
