Never

Its just an example.. factions are good. Factions imply some kind of structured society. In Dayz. That society has just gone to shit. PLEASE people. So many have lost sight of what made DayZ so unique. Its not meant to be some 'goodies vs bandits' with zombies inbetween' date=' its about being stranded, isolated, when you've just been [b']totally cut off as the world has fucking ended. It DID have that unique feeling to it, that feeling of danger, mistrust and angst it what made this mod so appealing, but it seems people just want it to be another 'team based, fast paced, fps with zombies' package. I'd much rather we give over half the servers to these faction pvp teammatch cravers, lock them so they can't interfere with the sandbox servers and let them shot each other til the lulz run out than have the mod turn into MMO Manhunt-with-Zombies. I can't believe i'm even suggesting this but fuck it, make two gamemodes when you start up the mod, 1: DayZ-Pure. & 2.DayZ-LULZ. But even that won't solve anything, because you'll still all just murder each other on sight anyway. TL;DR Stop thinking the violence is a 'problem' with the mod. IT ISN'T. The mod worked really well as a sandbox with a lot of groups working well. not much has changed in game. The community are violent. THAT is the problem. So far every 'fix' for it has restricted the sandbox. Your behaviour is fucking the mod up, not the devs.

Through the ironic medium of killing them with guns?

And hey this one might work.. Stop being such a bunch of violent shitbags and shooting everything that moves. The mods not pulling your trigger finger for you. You are the fecking murderers. You the ones with the guns in your hands are the problem, all trigger happy and hiding behind this 'oh i had to cos he was a bandit (i hope)'. There are no bandits or survivors in DayZ. Just lots of hungry, paranoid, potential murderers.

Its inventive at least!

I can see your view point of testing rare items/gear, but it wouldn't have to be a static window by any means. Also: A)Most of those rare items aren't in the mod yet (plus we could always have a week where you make them so available everyone can test the item all week) B) The guns don't need testing, they are from the ARMA core code and are solid already (apart from some issues with zeroing with some guns+ammo type combinations.) That way you get solid testing on all that rare kit, plus people don't keep to keep it, so no overpowering any players.

Global chat ruins the feeling for -you-, not -everyone-. Removing it from -everyone- so that -you- feel better is, to me, not the best answer. The capability for each of us to remove it ourselves if we so desire, is what I'm suggesting. Is that simple enough and engaging enough for you? Simple yes, engaging no. If you want an advantage over other players you can whistle for it mate. stop fucking with the immersion of a rather unique mod. GLOBAL CHAT DOESN'T MAKE SENSE IN A MOD ABOUT BEING ISOLATED AND TRYING TO SURVIVE. Thats the fundamental hardcore fact of it. If you want global coms go install teamspeak you lazy fuck. Teamspeak sucks, but just cos its there doesn't mean we should kill the atmosphere of the mod. But anyhow, your only going to brand me an extremist and trundle on with your weak bullshit argument so i'm out.

Congratulations. Wondering if any devs have browsed though this thread? Just watched though the TH vid with the interview/gameplay with Rocket, and he did mention a potential thought towards a more structured patch release schedule. Now in no way do i mean to put words in his mouth, i'd just wondered if the fact this idea seems popular, the two trains of thought might work well together?

Oh ffs, you people really don't get it? And Arma also wasn't the top selling game on Steam. This was always going to turn into an FFA even if Rocket had limited testing strictly to Arma vets. Eventually you guys would've gotten bored working in 10 man teams easily clearing out towns, a few of you would become bandits, the rest would start crying they lost their great loot to a random bandit so they can't trust anyone, and you'd be right where we are today. Totally agree. The majority of the gaming community want to PWN each other. Lack of imagination backed with no content but looking for more guns.

Did you seriously just compare the removal of global chat to the fucking Taliban? You sir are a complete tit.

Err, no there isn't... Granted there isn't much, but just joining in PVP is laziest way of playing with this sandbox. Some things to do: >The magical vehicle fixing trail! >Mountain dew club >Field Medic >Sniper/Camper hunting >trolling people with barbed wire! >etc etc

Fear' date=' loneliness, boredom. People will want to have someone to trust, in case a disaster like this happens, going around mudering everyone will only ensure your own death in the long run if that was real life. Not to mention, people will have the will to try and recreate communities, of course, ammong the people they think they can trust, strangers would be dealt with extreme care, if not violence. Alone, i highly doubt someone would go around killing every possible companion you find, unless he's a phycopath. [/quote'] I miss people with this mindset. :heart:

Never said i did, i just pointed out that people should stop making excuses for themselves being part of the 'problem' they complain about. (Today 03:42 AM)Never Wrote: But Ingway, he/she are fully entitled to play it that way. I never said he wansn't, i just said that this style of roleplaying dosn't make sense FOR ME. They can roleplay being an infected wich is capable of using guns for all i care. Agreed, the beauty was always in the freedom.

Yeah, hes on cam in only a bra too. :heart: haha

But Ingway, he/she are fully entitled to play it that way.

Oh please stop crying over a test patch in a mod. If you people actually read the damn hotfix notes you'd know that its a TEST and the zeds are being tweaked to less insane levels. Also the detection range and 'sneaking' is being set back as well. And don't play that bullshit 'realism' card sonny, the infected are humans, and where do humans live? Crying over zombies indoors, shut up and adapt quite frankly.

Totally, crying and raging about it solves nothing. Nerfing the game solves nothing either. Acting like adults, now, that might get us somewhere! :)

EXHIBIT A. See what i mean? Bunch of dicks.

Mate you just agreed with me. Who just killed you in that situation? Another member of the community.

yeah i mean i'd build a house then live in the yard too... think about what your saying mate.

Its only a FFA because you lot the community are treating it like such. it wasn't a FFA before, and the only thing thats changed in the player base.. 2+2=4.

Thing is' date=' you already have the option to use those yourself, Go into the survivor forum, press 'start thread' > 'looking for friends', start your own TS and do that yourself. The rewards for organization are yours. Well done. But for me, nothing breaks the feeling of lonely crawling along a tree line in the dark, low of ammo, hoping this trip if worth it than a quarter of my screen being full of: >UBERZEDKILLZ0R{ANYONE GOT A BLOODPACK???} >SNIPERSHITBAG{I PROMISE I WON'T SHOOT YOUR FACE} >SAUSAGE-FINGERS{HOW DO I STAND UP/RUN/SHOOT/BREATHE?} >[TOO-TRUSTING WAS KILLED BY SNIPERSHITBAG'] >TOO-TRUSTING{NOOOOOOOZ WHYZ DID YOU KILL ME???} >SNIPERSHITBAG{WTF DID YOU EXPECT}
