I'm waiting for that moment to come, but it will force them to add some extra clothing when spawning, because spawning hungry, wearing nothing but a t shirt in a Russian winter you won't make it far.

Why wouldn't they ? Night is really dark and not every one likes playing in pitch black darkness, in real life you just go to sleep in a video game you either leave or change the server. On top of that, if they sync the in game day time with local day time, most people will never get a chance to play during daytime, especially during winter, come back from school or work and it's already dark.

Perhaps I do, but you sound like a typical. I want interact with others and I want force every one else to interact with others. Play the game my way or we will punish you. What if in the future they add a PvE that will make players struggle for survival ? Lots of zeds, harsh weather, diseases. What if someone will want to play on his own away from the city on a less populated server ? The problem here is not playing on an empty server. The problem is that I know exactly where to find specific items, piano houses and police stations and big concrete buildings for guns. It does not matter if I play on full or empty server I know where to go for good loot. If loot was spawning randomly and you would have to search each and every building to find guns or other items it would solve both problems of hopping ( in addition to penalty) and looting an empty server. Because right now I go into Svetlojarsk and I know there are 5-6 buildings which almost always have guns in them, I don't need to loot entire town for 40 minutes, I spend 10 going to the specific buildings and I know that I will for sure find 1 or 2 guns. And what will happen when they make loot scarce overall ? I would assume they will at some point. Going to a big town or a military base on a full server when unarmed is not high risk is certain death, there are always people there and they will shoot you. And you don't find guns in small towns. Add than to an overall decrease in loot availability and the gap between armed an unarmed players will increase even more. That's why they removed coast spawn, to give newbies a chance to avoid armed players.

Sure it will help making KoS even more popular, forcing fresh spawns into full servers. Every larger city will be occupied by armed groups, end fresh spawns will have to avoid them. I don't get people like, self righteous types, what makes you feel that you know better ? That forcing players with nothing play with those well armed improve the game ? If it does for you go ahead play your way, but don't try to force others do things your way. Some people may not enjoy that type of play, they want to get what they need to survive and live away from others. Because your idea will end this way : Start fresh Server is full, everything is looted, you're struggling to find food. Since server is full you run into someone with better gear, it's more likely that they will kill rather than help you You die Rinse and repeat. So I'm going to say it again, stop trying to build communism here. Stop trying to punish normal players and force them to play the way you want , make your own game if you want thing to be done your way. Now lets get back to punishing server hopper and server hoppers ONLY.

Why shouldn't they ? Is dayz some sort of communism simulator ? Everything must be shared ? I know it's somewhat Russian, but calm down comrade Stalin They entered empty server to loot in peace let them loot. We are here to punish server hoppers not make everyone play on 35/40 servers. Seriously, what is wrong with you people, restricting rights of normal players to prevent server hopping. Sound like 'murica land of the free, with free cavity search and full body scan at every airport.

By what ? I mean what can shoot you on empty server ?

Not always, will a fresh spawn benefit from joining full server ? Will he benefit from getting shot from some asshole who enjoys shooting fresh spawns or will he benefit from not being able to find any food because everything is looted ?

Than this will result in two types of servers - Full severs which everyone joins for the loot because there is a lot of it. - Empty servers which nobody joins because there is not loot / too little loot and they don't wan't to wait for it to get populated. The goal of any implemented solution would be to punish notorious server hoppers without affecting normal players who sometimes need to change the server or want to play on low population one.

You do realize that each and every server is empty at some point ? Than one guy joins it, than 5 than 15 than 30 than 40.

Stupid, just like most other ideas, let people play on empty servers if they want to. Solution to this problem is simple. You get 1 or 2 server changes without any penalty, just because shit happens. But after that each time you change the server you wait longer, starting with standard 99 seconds for 3rd change, than 4th hop makes you wait 200 , than 300 for the 5th and so on. Also your character is already in game, so it can die to others or zeds. Now you wait 5 minutes for spawn with your character already in game. Only the most dedicated server hoppers will be willing to wait that long and risk all their gear to some random player or zed. It does not affect legit players while making server hopping slow and risky business.

So much self pity. What you people fail to understand that the moment you post videos like that you will receive both praise and criticism, not always constructive. When that happens instead of posing something as pathetic as "sorry for being me" you post : Don't like the video ? Than be on your way, don't waste time, both mine and yours.

Punched Zed into the ground. The power of Krypton.

Took me 170 hours to have my first certain encounter with a hacker.

Oh the irony, so much irony.

Right, and what if the server resets ? What if I want to join my friends ? What if there is too many people on to find anything and I don't have any gear ? What if if there is too few people and I can't kill or interact with others ? Another stupid solution, that will punish normal players.

How is it not correct English ? It has correct spelling and grammar just because it's not the official term does not make it incorrect English. It might be a product of miss spelling, but saying it's not even correct English is exaggerating. You can shoot on sight without shooting on site. You can't shoot on site without shooting on sight. And yes I can limit myself to KoS in only particular area.

Technically both forms are correct, but have a different meaning : Shoot on sight means killing some one as soon as you have visuals Shoot on site means shooting anyone who enter said site (a trespasser) Both forms can be used when killing in game, because a town or a military base can be a site that the victim is trespassing. For example A group of people walks around the map hunting other players, this is where shoot on sight is the correct term. A group of people takes over lumber mill, as of this point of become their site, on which they will use shoot on site policy, therefore it becomes a correct term.

No, I don't want to wait more. This game takes too much time already.

Tired few gamingdeluxe servers today, each time started fresh. Seems legit Gameserver.co.uk do have my old char and save it, seems like it choice of working servers is become more and more limited.

Same here, came back from holiday today, new char, well deal with it. Played a little on gamingdeluxe sever, went to gab some food came back, joined another gaming deluxe server, new char. Tried few times and even after joining exactly same server my char won't save.

What the title says. Basically make every server warn you 5 minutes before it restarts. Purely so that you don't end up logging back in some dangerous place like a middle of an airport.

There are reaction time test programs, you could do online but that's plus ping.

@up Sure it will stop the bullet, it will also transfer all the kinetic energy to your body, might not break ribs, but few shots will make your organs scream for help.
