I love these coolboi responses to serious game issues. Maybe by that logic guns should just do no damage to any body part but the head on players and zombies? Hey, SHOOT THEM IN THE HEAD IF YOU WANT EM DEAD! /coolboi

It's almost all weapons that are effected.

So basically all weapons are 1/2 to 1/3 of the previous damage? Well that's bullshit. Now an AK round is almost as weak as the previous makarov rounds? The fuckady fuck?

Give a shit enough to tell us how much you don't give a shit, shit? Shit!

Basically the only people who don't want a logout delay (as per every mmo that exists) are people that abuse alt + F4. I made a thread about this and people made the most absurd and ridiculous excuses as to why it was bad to have a timer to logout. Bad internet, hurricanes (seriously), friends trapped on the interstate highway that they needed to go and rescue and didn't have time to logout (not even 30 seconds) etc. Now it's 'hacking', which frankly is a problem. Except alt + F4 is a bigger problem. Most of the time when hackers kill me its the whole server getting nuked anyway, so alt + f4 wouldnt even save me. Bring on the 1-5 minute logout timer I say.

This is NOT a 1st person/3rd person debate, this is about unifying DayZ with ONE gamemode and removing all the easy mode servers. A case for and against 3rd person can be made, though I believe it should be a server side option (not to mention the hackers would be using it anyway). This is about the other differences between regular/veteran servers, such as name tags.

Fractured community.

There's nothing wrong with third person, spatial awareness in games like this is very poor and although it's not 'realistic', it's somewhat necessary. I won't shed too many tears if it goes, but if it stays I'm fine with that. Nametags and all the other aspects of regular servers needs to go though.

Firstly, this isn't about third person which I think should remain (vet servers have that). Nor is it about left4dead. It's about continuity in DayZ play options. Simply saying, "If you don't like those servers don't play them" is such a cop out answer. Those servers shouldn't exist AT ALL, so no one should be allowed to play them, especially seeing as server hoping is so easy. Again, wants don't enter into it, DayZ should be as hard as the engine allows it to be.

Go back to CoD? That makes no sense whatsoever in the context of this thread or anything I've said. What people like shouldn't even enter into it, people don't like dying in DayZ either but they won't stop crying about that, will they? This is about REALISM and being more difficult. Now I know a lot of players want the game to hold their hand for them, but I don't think rocket intends the game to do that. A good step towards that would be to remove the handholding regular/recruit servers and eject these crybabies into the real world of veretan play.

Only one hacker today, I was killed by a guy in elektro who laughed and said 'why you trying to kill me?' as I shot him 5 times with a lee enfield. I asked him why he was hacking, he told me 'I'm a pro'.

When I click multiplayer, it says 'receiving' for ages, then when it eventually gets to the server browser, there's no servers there. Anyone else having trouble?

It may be gamespy, another fucking inept system BiS chose to use along with Battleye.

Paragraphs or bye.

Respawn is taking ages, as usual.

Yeah that was pretty funny, shame we didn't log out as rabbits.

I'm just bringing that reality of cheating home, to the people that keep saying 'I've never seen it, therefor it's not going on'.

Sometimes I'll go 10 minutes without a gun, but with nothing to lose I'll normally just zoom my ass into the nearest spawn and find at least a winnie. Lee enfield? Great, don't even need anything else now. Handguns are only useful for zombies. And high spec gear? Shit's been duped/hacked so much finding 50 cals is a daily occurrence for me now. Yesterdays loot was about a dozen AKMs, 2 m4a1 CCO's (one silenced), more lee enfields than I can count, 2 .50 cal AS50's (probably duped), 4 DMR's, M16, PKMs, 5 NVG etc. Stuff is just so damn easy to get. I really think it needs to be the case that if you find even a double barrel shotgun, you'll be over the moon. Rifles of ANY KIND should be incredibly rare, and most people should be rolling around with pistols only. Most sniper rifles should be removed from game altogether. It's feeling less and less like survival and more like who's had the luckiest loot/got the biggest gun. Our team shouldn't have high spec military gear all the time, we should be a rag tag band, with some shot guns and pistols, the odd rifle and lots of trapping equipment. Make DayZ harder

It's not a game, it's concept art at this point. /thread.

FINALLY people have stopped the denialism! A few weeks ago most replies to this thread would just be 'I've never seen any hackers'. I suppose it's good the problem has got this bad, so hopefully now it can be addressed. 50% of my deaths are hackers.

I will NEVER alt + F4 in a fight, the idea isn't even on my mind as a backup plan if I'm trapped. It's weak as shit gameplay and the people that do it deserve to be horse whipped. However, when it comes to hackers, I will not bend over and take it. Third time today I've had to close the game to get out quickly due to people hacking. 1. spawning everyone in the same place (presumably to blow us all up) 2. Bombing cherno with god only knows what. 3. 2 wookies with thermal scoped AS50's and mags that last forever. These clowns were in cherno firing practically full auto on top of the grain silo. When I climbed up and shot them with an AKM they laughed on direct and said 'can't kill me bro'. So I alt +F4'd the fuck out before they killed me.

I'm going to try my best not to sound like I'm trolling, since this is entirely serious and not meant to provoke a reaction. We see lots of threads each day such as this one:- http://dayzmod.com/forum/index.php?/topic/35114-post-apacolyptic-greifing-simulator-for-d-bags/ They're all in a similar vein and it's basically always the same basic story. Let me tell it for you is succinctly as possible, it has 3 parts. 1. I was playing dayz and I encountered another player. 2. This other player killed me. 3. I didn't like being killed. That's it. That's all there is to the story. Every. Single. Time. There's usually quite a lot of oohing and aahing about it too, some of the stories are in fact, very well told and quite compelling. And I don't think there's another game out there that inspires that kind of genuine reaction in players. To me anyway, that's what makes DayZ, Dayz, and it's a heck of a lot more interesting than other 'safe' games. Anyway my question to these people is basically, what do you expect? How do you expect other players to react to you in their presence? Do you expect to call out friendly, then hold hands and kill zombies together without ANY risk of being killed? Because that could happen. But you know, there can't be one without the other. DayZ is all or nothing, it's either completely safe all the time (and a lot of these people won't be happy until that's the case), or it's not safe any of the time. I know which one is a more compelling gaming experience for me, and I hope it stays that way.

These are the people asking for PvP to be removed, they just suck that bad. 5 people, 1 LE? Oh lordy lord...
