Never

Fuck that the zombies chase you just to give you CUPCAKES! And blowjobs. But i have a feeling you'll enjoy the cupcakes a lot more.

Oh go on, can we let him have it? Purely to see the blood pour out of his face when he mistimes the jump!

3 man team can still abuse it. 2 servers at once in fact' date=' and it opens up the chance for them to endlessly farm just those two. 5 min loot respawns are the thorn in the side of this idea. Remember the old riddle about a farmer needing to move a chicken and a fox in one boat across a river? Works the same way, shit you could do it with 2 men and a vehicle, although 3 people makes it simple. A decent sized clan group? Yeah it might take them 10 mins longer to farm two servers, But with your idea, we could pick two points 1500m apart and farm a pair of servers in an endless cycle. [hr']

Basically what he said. When was the last time you saw your local wildlife shitting itself when its hears background noise? The zeds would have learnt that the regular chimes are just part of the soundscape.

I totally agree' date=' but perhaps part of the Alpha testing involves seeing how tweaks to the loot spawn rates impact gameplay, and the only way to do that is to do a gear wipe and let the game run on. After all spawn rates are a major variable in this game. Also, with exception of the custom DayZ objects like cans, winchesters, crossbows, axes, etc.. most of the military gear people has already thoroughly tested by Bohemian Interactive as part of their ARMA releases. Just saying... [/quote'] To be honest i was bemused when there wasn't resets on a few of the patches. Like the removal of firearms on start, How can you properly test that when every character still alive has scoped rifles? :huh: Also if theres any major changes to loot tables/system i'd expect a reset. Guess resets never came due to the attitude shown in this thread, too many 'players' gaming with their own interests first, and not enough 'testers'. It is Alpha after all. :angel:

Thats been discussed endlessly in many threads about it. Its been deemed imperfect. Christ its you again with your 'If this solution doesn't fix the problem 100% its not worth it.' philosophy. I don't see you offering up alternatives. You seem to have missed most of my posts in the suggestions forum then. As well as not actually reading the posts of mine you have seen' date=' cos i generally point out people are looking at the wrong damn things. [hr']

No it won't because these people are hopping to kill. they don't give a damn about lott, they just want to piss other players off. The numbers of people hopping won't drop that much. Uhh, that's just one server. How are you going to do that on the 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 5th servers without leaving and coming back again, without your vehicle, hence requiring the 10 minute jog, hence discouraging the action because it wouldn't really be profitable over time? I don't see how this out maneuvers anything. That's why it took us 9 pages not to think of it. That one server with one group of 3 players out of the almost a half million or w/e the numbers are now, and ideas spread like wildfire. Shit theres already a thread of this forum listing heli spawns. If you think that only one group would be doing that, you are very shortsighted and totally underestimate gamers ability to find ways around things. Now before you rage back, stop and think.

Thats been discussed endlessly in many threads about it. Its been deemed imperfect.

First off. The loot system is a total pile of shit so redesigning that before makes any changes to 'fix' the current system is a waste of time. Second, it does NOTHING to counter PvP/server ghosting as i've seen some claim it will in this thread. Most PlayerKillers (I'm not using the term 'Bandit' because its fucking defunct.) are there just to kill you, they already have their weapons of choice most likely, and if you haven't figured it out yet, They aren't killing you for your loot. They are killing you for the lulz, and the tears. Third, and this is the game breaker for this idea: Say i have a mate or two with me, I can just walk/drive 1500 meters away from my favorite spawn point while my friends hop in the barracks say. They can spawn kill everyone, I just drive in and collect the loot for them. Your fix has been out maneuvered that simply. Seems like you had a good idea. But no, you didn't. how did it take you guys 9 pages to see it doesn't work.

Just a total coincidence that these "few" posts happened to be in response to your idea of adding a quest system to DayZ. Sorry we got off on the wrong foot. No, its more the fact that in every reply you make your overtly aggressive, optionated, and generally just rant for a bit, stick in a 'Rocket said', then attack or disregard someones idea while adding very little useful. ON TOPIC: Bandits skins was a shitty idea then, and still is now.

:cool: Love it. Hope that twat that was crying about people blowing his tents up comes in for a cry. Idiot even made a tread suggesting tents should be indestructible. What a Priiiiiiick.

It won't. ARMA code is far to insecure, and its a whole new playground of griefing for them. They fucking love it, they are here to stay. Battleeye is a lame dog as well, and the GUID ban might reduce the number of script kiddies for a week or two, but the dedicated will be back with a new GUID and a desire to grief moar soon enough. Plus the skilled hackers can bypass it. Simply put, hackers are basically part of Dayz.

CPU: Intel Core i5 or AMD Athlon Phenom X4 or faster RAM: 2 GB VGA: Nvidia Geforce GTX 260 or ATI Radeon HD 5770' date=' shader Model 3 and 896 MB VRAM, or faster DX: DirectX: 10 OS: Windows 7 / Vista HDD: 15 GB free space ODD: Dual Layer compatible But going on past releases and experiences the recommended is normally way way way to low. [/quote'] Yeah i know what you mean, its like they forgot the small print that reads: *..will just about handle it if you set all options to 'mudpuddle'.

The fact it runs like shit even on a high end rig' date=' and is very CPU heavy while not making good use of available GPU power. Also the open mission designer is a huge gaping hole in ARMAs security, something we can all see by the amount of script kiddies and some hackers that basically have battleye blindfolded. Its a double edged sword for BIS, its good because: A) its attracted a much bigger player base to a pretty damn good game/mil-sim. B) its been a slap in the face for BIS regarding the fact that the majority of gamers are cheating shitbags. [i']and due to this C) it means they can up their game in terms on security and make it a smoother game with a lot more fans. But the problems i can see is: A) ARMA 3 is apparently based (at least) partially around the ARMA 2 code, (I think rocket himself said he'd ported the DayZ mod to the new engine for atest at some point) so hackers kind of know what they are getting as a new playground. B) I believe ARMA 3 is due for a november release this year? I wouldn't think that such a small timeframe is enough to rebuild your multiplayer security. So i think its going to be a smoother experience than ARMA 2, but still overdemanding possibly. Has the recommended spec for ARMA3 been released yet?

Ah yes forgot about that. Checklist should go: 1) Required ARMA files (best place to start i'd say). 2) ARMA Beta update. 3) Latest Dayz version/patch + Hotfixes. + 4) DayZ server that has all of the above. Yeah?

Yeah you've missed a few patches by the sound of it, have a root around in the accounnments section for the new DayZ and ARMA Beta patches.

Bumping this cos its a nice pointer of the fact the players make the mod what it is. All those saying, 'ah but i still get shot' don't stop being the nice guy on occasion, once you join the 'kill everyone cos everyone else does' crowd you've just lost and the game, and a little bit of your real life humanity. Rise above init.

You seem to have missed my post.
