You're weak, you'll be one of the first people in my basement.

IT PUTS THE LOTION ON ITS SKIN OR IT GETS THE HOSE AGAIN.

Bronies are always soft when it comes to playing Buffalo Bill, you need to learn, DayZ should be about asserting dominance over your captors. DayZ lets you make your own story, this expands on that. DUNGEON KEEPER.

Yeah, haters going to hate, right? I bet you wouldn't be that cheeky to me in real life there, huh champ? Nawww, cause you'd know who the ALPHA MALE was in the pack and you'd act accordingly. Maybe I'd let you be my wing man and the bitches I tossed aside you could have a go on.

Green zones defeat the entire purpose of DayZ. Zones for people to be friendly and 'trade'? That's such a joke. If you want to set up something like that it'd be 10x more fun without artificial rules. Get your friends and police cherno. Oh and people in those cities are most certainly not 'unarmed noobs on the coast', they're the main 'battle grounds' in the south with the best weapon spawns until you reach stary sobor. I'll continue to enjoy my 'real' private hive that has 50 players online, not 7 like your idiotic 'green zone' venture. Ain't going so well, is it bra?

Green zones? You know these admins are fucking carebears that'll probably ban you for killing them. GREEN ZONES? The fuck?

Ah, the big ban wave is producing forum whine threads already. Good riddance.

Lets be honest here folks, we're not getting the whole story. The Greek authorities wouldn't threaten 2 tourists taking snaps on a beach with 20 years in jail. They MUST have been up to something, where there's smoke there's usually fire, right? Two game devs taking photo's for 'research', sounds like the perfect cover for covert operations in a foreign country to me. Doesn't BI have strong ties to the military as well? What you essentially have here is two military contractors, sneaking into a secure area and taking god knows how many photo's of god knows what. You can be DAMN sure if 2 Iranians were taking photos at JFK international airport they'd be banged up in no time. Why would Greece risk an international incident if there was nothing to it? They wouldn't, is the short answer. Lets face it folks, Greece isn't some backwater banana republic, they were once the cultural centre of the world, they're still a western country. Grow up and let the authorities in Greece do their jobs, which it appears they're already doing, quite well.

Wait, what? Intel make better CPU's, that's 100% proven fact.

Do people think they're cleaver when they pop up and say "They're not hackers, they're script kiddies, hackers are MEGALEETZ"? Semantics people. Oh and BE? Yeah, I won't hold my breathe, we've been hearing the same shit for months now.

Arguments can be made that in the mod, were it not for scripting and duping that sniper rifles like the AS50 and M107 would be 'ok'. Being incredibly rare they wouldn't be as much of an issue. However, I don't see these weapons (or many of the high grade weapons, like the SAW etc) as 'fitting' with DayZ in any way whatsoever. Thermal scoped weapons? You're fucking trolling me. Of course you may disagree, it is satisfying to get a 1 hit kill, and somewhat necessary considering how easy it is to combat log. But assuming ALL these problems are fixed, I really think most weapons need to be removed from DayZ entirely. In every zombie film I've ever seen, people at most have an M16 or perhaps a low caliber hunting rifle, but mainly it's shotguns and pistols. THAT is what DayZ should be, most players should have pistols and shotguns. That'd really add to the immersion factor too, focusing more on survival again and less on COD style rambo killing (though, there's nothing wrong with rambo killing). I really think that'd improve the quality of PvP combat too, fights would be infinitely more fun with shotguns and assault rifles, taking place at between 50-500 meters, instead of rampant sniper camping and insane machine gun spraying. It'd be much more satisfying if finding an Ak74 was a 'big deal' and we were hauled up in our barricaded houses exchanging Winchester rounds and M9 slugs with another group of players. Actually 'fighting' over supplies instead of fighting to up our frag count. Some people may disagree, but I just think combat in DayZ could be much more challenging and 'realistic' to the genre than it is at the moment.

Bear Grylls Dean Hall (rocket) Not to mention Rocket's backstory of being in the military and doing survivalist training. It seems a little fishy to me. I think Bear grylls is trying to make a break into the game development industry and 'rocket' is his alter ego. They both seem to have the same 'screw convention' attitude too in regards to what they (he/singular) do.

I lol'd.

You Bronies are going to give yourselves a maregasm...

It's not the bronies that are a problem, it's the people with quasi pedophile manga avatars, they're all retards. Never had a problem with a broney. And yes, Gambles, it IS the carebears that (a lot of the time, but not always) whine on forums then go off to find hacks. There was even a few threads where people admitted that's exactly what happened. "I wanted to be nice to everyone but they kept killing me so I started hacking".

Through frustration or just for pleasure?

Obvious troll is obvious.

Another person with a manga avatar who (probably) hacks? I'm seeing a pattern here. Manga avatar - carebear or hacker (normally carebear become hacker).

Classic. I don't even know if it's worth replying to a post this silly, but I'll give it a go anyway. Firstly, I'm not afraid of getting killed by AS50's (I have two on me just now), I'm 'afraid' of the gameplay becoming stale because they exist in the game. Yes, some people want it this way, but some people also want COD deathmatch. This is what it is just now and it doesn't fit with either the genre or the game setting. And for your information Rocket IS making the game I wanted, right now, he says so. I'm making this thread in the hopes he'll read it and get some ideas or commit even further to removing the space cannons and focusing on proper, gritty, survivalist gameplay. So when standalone comes out, it's back to COD for you and your ilk. Or off to the hacker forums for more scripts.

Yes, exactly. People WANT these ridiculous weapons and try to make silly arguments that they are 'realistic' and fitting with the game setting. Ok bubba, make the argument that you could even carry an AS50. Go on. No? Ah, that's right, because even if you're 6.2", 250 pounds and built like a brick shithouse, moving one of those is a 2 man job, and forget about any supplies or a second assault rifle in your backpack. That's where you descend into the other argument that 'it's a game' and any pretence you had about realism goes out the window. High end stuff SHOULD exist, I'm talking DMR's, CZ's, m14's and other goodies, but they should be super rare. People don't really know or understand what makes a game 'fun' or interesting or gives it replay value, so they just want über shit because they think THAT'S it. Wrong. We'd all have a better time if my 5 man team was armed with winnies, ak's and pistols, fighting your 5 man team over a house we've stockpilled food and medical supplies in. 30 minute long wild west style standoffs would ensue. More replay value and more interesting that 'RUNNING RUNNING RUNNING, AS50 AS50 RUNNING RUNNING RUNNING M249 SAWWWWWWWWWWWW' *5 guys laying dead and us high fiving* That's what it is now and will remain until people GROW UP and relinquish their space cannons in favour of things more true to the setting and the genre. Case - fucking- closed.

Rocket says this is basically happening in the standalone anyway, so you should probably get used to dealing with it now.

People just want deathmatch on a gigantic open world with crazy weapons, belt fed machine guns? really? Thermal optics? No one's denying these weapons exist in real life, they just don't have a place in a game like this. I want more of a challenge, I want fighting to be over resources and possibly (in standalone) over shelter and territory, not over frag count and 'whatever weapon that guy has I want'. Pvp should be challenging, gritty and satisfying, not super slick pro style 'sn1pa on da hill'. Fights should be drawn out and desperate.

Mine is normally, "hey bra, I know people, WHITE PEOPLE".

I think what people mainly want to know is, will the standalone stop scripters? Yes/No?

Problem is the underground stuff will be 'instanced', ie there'll be a loading screen to get into it.
