The WTW? and BFB clan have been in the walls of the Bolota jails every day for the last three days. If you don't like glitchers just hop on the WTW clan server and you can kill your fill.

I did, I'm just putting it out there for anyone that feels more strongly about it than I

There is a group of 5-6 guys on the OrcZ.com server in Elektro glitched into the back of the church and the bottom floor of the red house on the corner by the hospital. Maybe an admin will see this and kick them or maybe we can get some community justice? Idk

Oh look, he renamed the server to 24/7 Night | I'm pregnant | Don't hurt my baby

Happened across 4 guys at Bolota when my friends and I came to loot it, I killed one and the server reset 10 seconds afterwards. I was a little frustrated but thought it might have been chance so we all rejoined afterwards. Killed another guy and the server reset 10 seconds later. My jimmies are totally rustled now. Join in after reset, take shots at the two remaining guys but they're 800+ yards away and moving so I'm not expecting much. The server resets. This happens over and over for about 20 minutes until the remaining player (the server owner) runs off into the woods. Its easier if you just watch for yourself: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1rM-yH3HMsc&feature=youtu.be The server: Laydown's Love Hut 173.199.94.30:2302 How do I report this server and get it taken down. The actions of the server owner are in clear violation of the terms of use.

Cuz I just died to 4 kids moving as fast as cars firing pistols that don't run out of ammo

I run DayZ on my MacBook when I'm not at home (Geforce GT 750M and an Intel i7-4850HQ) and haven't had any overheating issues. As far as the noise goes... get a headset?

Several fashionable cowboy hats and some rice!

I'm just hoping they see it and get even angrier than they sounded in direct chat.

How does it feel to have your group of 6 wiped out by 1 guy with an m4. You shouldn't have left me for dead. After I woke up, I fixed my broken legs and served out some vengeance.

Unless I'm missing something I don't see you outwitting anyone here... You admittedly got lucky to have him right in front of you when you spawned in. You then took 3 shots at an incredibly easy distance and missed one of them. You displayed neither skill nor cunning so what are you getting off on? I'm not saying killing the guy was wrong. In my opinion, if you're running around recklessly you're asking to get shot. On the other hand if you're a sniper camping the same spot killing people that don't even know you are there, you aren't talented, you're shooting fish in a barrel. I would put money on this guy being a 'sniper' so long as no one is returning fire. As soon as he hears shots nearby he probably runs behind some trees on sniper hill and logs out. It takes longer than 30 seconds to run up the hill so he can come back later once they've given up looking.

I'm not familiar with the object model for the ArmA engine, but something like the following would be the basic idea (while iterating bag contents and damaging them) if (player.held_item == null || items.item_id != player.held_item.item_id) items.set_quality(quality.ruined)

Ok

You've restored my faith somewhat haha, thank you for actually responding to what I was asking! I agree that the 1PP view is somewhat limited when it comes to being aware of your environment and that 3PP is less claustrophobic. Although I'm of the belief that the limited vision adds tension, like I've almost shit my pants on hardcore servers when a zombie suddenly screams in my ear from a foot behind me. It doesn't happen in 3PP servers. Yes, there are segregated servers, but there are fewer hardcore servers than normal and characters don't transfer. I guess there's not much I can say about this one yes, someone that wants to play 1PP only can do so, but they seem like a 2nd class citizen. I'm sure its true that it has attracted more users due to its 3PP support, but when I see everyone bragging about how the game is so hardcore and not casual friendly is that really a good thing? I suppose since theres no subscription the one time buy is all they're after but I would hope a cohesive experience would be a higher priority than a quick buck. Er, I like you man, but I'm not going to get into this. We just seem to be talking about different things right now. A game is more than its engine, and just because a game uses an engine does not mean it needs to use every feature of that engine. Yes, sadly the badge of most indie-gone-viral type games. At some point you need come up with a singular vision for a game and try to only pursue those things that work towards supporting it. Although, has he come out and said he left 3PP in because he wants it in? I wonder if thats true. Anyways, in regards to 'beyond my ability or skillset' I'm happy to come ruin your day in whatever difficulty setting you'd like. I assure you I can hack it :) Beyond that, I don't really have much to say to you as you seem to be making huge leaps and assumptions. I'm not sure where you felt I had a crybaby or whining tone, I never once complained about other players using it and said I even use it myself. My argument was simply that it doesn't seem to jive with the rest of the game. It does create some good eye candy for marketing though.

It wasn't an argument for how the DayZ experience/ideals are augmented by 3PP or what 3PP does for the DayZ experience that makes the potential for exploitation an acceptable tradeoff. However it was a well written argument for why 3PP is a good idea in games in general and why it exists in the ArmA franchise. I've ignored or dismissed every knee jerk reaction that offered up a brief sentence or word as sufficient evidence of a topic that is much more complicated than the response. I belittled a fellow who decided it was time to ignore the topic and move on to something unrelated in the hopes that exposing some inconsistency with my behavior somehow validates his own opinion. Please direct me to an answer that specifically addresses 3PP and how it positively effects DayZ (in a way that is unique to the DayZ experience). Not just quoting wikipedia or the generic benefits of 3PP. See first quote
