Lately I've noticed a huge increase in the number of servers where Admins will kick you nearly immediately after you join them. Almost every other server has "join = kick" or "private session, clan training" in them which are all just saying: "we're loot farming and don't want to be disturbed". Especially the lower pop servers is basically just a list of these, one after another. Pretty frustrating that they can get away with this eventhough it is pretty much literally stated as a "do not" in the terms.

This. How many countries in the world have the G36 as their standard military issue assualt rifle (answer = 1)? Now how many in the Eastern Hemisphere (answer = 0)? I think some Czech police units have them but nowhere near the numbers needed to show up on a general loot economy. G36's would be drowned out by AK's that the chance of finding one is negligble. In one thread I explained (rather harshly) that if general loot economy were to resemble the real world prevalence of assualt rifles, you'd find some 1,000 AK's before finding a rifle of another sort (speaking off assualt rifles). So imagine this on the server: the chances of an assualt rifle are already pretty slim (let's say 1% but I think it's less) then the chance of it being an AK would be 1,000 times greater than it being a G36 (effectively making the probability of it being something else than an AK 0,001%). This is NOT taking into account geography but global prevelance, if you would account for the local prevelance then the number of AK's versus non-AK's would be even bigger.

Not me. I never asked for better effects and I do turn off those I need to turn off to run the game smoothly. I prefer high FPS over fancy pictures. I think though the main culprit for people is Post Processing, not so much the clouds or the grass.

Needing to have post processing would be a huge bitch and drop framerates considerably. You'd be alienating a lot of people with decent rigs but not necesarrily gaming computers. Lets be honest here, Dayz isn't the prettiest game out there and post-processing isn't going to make it win a beauty contest either when it comes to graphics; what it will do however is make the game as GPU heavy as many other games which ARE very graphically pretty. I think the effects from sickness should come from somewhere else, something less straining than PP.

Camp the body of whoever you killed to see who comes running in? If you're up against groups alone or with an inferior force, you're not going to loot any bodies anyway. Thats just the advantage of having a group; they can help you survive and help you get started again. You as the killer, if you want to loot the corpse or prevent them from looting it, should play in groups then.

At the same time, ghosting prevents camping. I think ghosting is cheating but at the same time, camping and then KoSing is also lame.

Yea I think sustained survivalist life isn't going to positivily influence longevity anyway, whatever you do. There'll always be malnutrition, worsening hygene and of course lacking medical attention. All in all, everything you do is straining yourself/breaking yourself down to squeeze in a few more days of being alive. So if campers are going to grow fat (which takes years by the way, not days) then those always on the move will develop atritis. Lets not forget, we don't ever brush our teeth but we're still drinking soda's and eating canned food stuffed with sugars; in a couple of years we wont have any teeth.

xD Trust me, thats the least of your worries. Imagine going in the same clothes ALL the time and the time of the month comes. >.>

Yea but I'm a girl so what do I get instead of a beard? Unshaven legs? I agree on the sanity system though. Lots of murderers like in WW2 killed uncountable people by shooting them and though I don't doubt they're insane it doesn't influence their physical abilities.

Pretty much anything gets your game banned in Australia..., why bother trying?

Some servers get around by periodically showing the standard messages; saying at which times they restart with a GMT time code. Not perfect but if you prefer low-ping servers it's usually in your timezone.

This shit ruined Resident Evil. No...NO...HELL NO!

Yes you can store like 3 times the space food would take in your backpack in your body, so your body is more efficient in storing food (as energy) than your backpack is.

I think a 30 seconds log-out timer is a good start and not too difficult to implement. It was done server-side for the mod on lots of servers and worked like a charm. It wont stop combat logging from occuring completely, since if you're smart you'll be firing from plenty of cover which your opponent cant approach safely within those 30 seconds. If you're hidden, they don't know you're currently logging off and by the time they realize you're not actually going to fire back anymore; you're gone. Added to this a text message saying: A player in your vicinity is logging out...

He had it coming to him. You responded when he was getting something into his hands, looked like his axe. He was obviously trying to close the distance so he could maybe strike you. If not, well he had ample of warnings from you. I don't KoS but I shoot people for less, like not staying dead still where they are.
