This is not how port allocation works. sort of. Does anyone know how the engine negotiates these connections on the back end? you generate a port as needed when your private IP attempts to go outside your network. Gotta love NAT. It is possible you may have to set up port forwarding because of what you are trying to do and specify a specific different high number port for each IP that your PC's currently have. Not to sure on this without knowing more but it is a possible. Do these servers run with any rules to deny duplicate incoming IP's? **************************************************************************************************** Just called a friend that plays this way. He has zero issues with this and tested it just now. Either server side issue at the moment on that server maybe, or an issue in your config at your end is a good guess.

Make sure you understand this process and do not do it randomly. Messing up a firmware update on most home routers especially if it loses power or stalls half way through can turn it into a brick. Do this only if you understand it. It is possible this is the cause but not the most likely scenario. I have some old out of date gear out in the world at various locations that are not up to date that never have these issues specifically.

It is this simple if they are not different you will get a duplicate IP error on the same network. If you are not getting that error you can be sure that DHCP is not handing out the same IP to two different PC's. Manually configuring will have no effect or at least should not. The game will not know the difference or the internet considering it never sees the IP's you have on your internal devices. Your router has your IP it faces the public internet. What you are using inside of your private network are private addresses from one of the private address ranges available for all of us to use in the world. Do this: attempt to log into two different servers at the same time, if that succeeds I would doubt that your PC your IP or connection are an issue. Even a 10meg connection should handle multiple instances of this game running over your network. You may have a configuration issue in your router. But if others can successfully do this from the same network with only ONE external facing public IP then I would conclude what others here have based on the limited info you gave. You should check your router or possibly factory reset it after backing up your configuration then try again. Are these wired or wireless connections? Sorry if you listed that already I didn't see it.

They can't punch you three times if they are outside of arm range... Also do you really have that hard a time being an ahole? First thing I would have done the second time he said anything harrassing to me was shoot him period. I don't randomly kill anyone in this game. I do it with purpose only. In this case the purpose would be to shut up the real ahole chirping in your ear acting better than the rest of us...

you already state the only reason why it does not need defending. "In this thread we discuss the defense of a very valid playstyle" it is valid and needs no explanation. New players coming in should really find out about this game if they complain about legitimate systems that are in place that allow sandbox style RP.

It is only as deep as it needs. I guess all that really means is that you have a choice in how you feel. Tons of people feel like they don't and its hard to fight back when watching everyone else struggle. Maybe I am just lucky to have a tiny center of calm someplace inside me. I am very relaxed and if taking control of yourself isn't chill for you I suggest buying a wingsuit they rock.

We live and die in our own world. I use to feel alone in that world and then I remember that it was mine, mine to do with as I please and be as I please. In that world of my mind I am the only citizen with a vote the only person with a clue and the best damn friend a person in my world could have. To me the world is what we make of it so if something outside mine bothers me I find a way to reverse it. When I hear someone say the word hate I find a way to see what they are saying with love in my mind instead. I reverse it and make it what I need no matter what others want.

As fry that makes total sense yes.

I like this idea. It creates an element of risk that has to be calculated based on a whole host of factors. It could ad a layer of immersion if they didn't make it tedious.

I love the face he makes here I think it negates any post you use it to counter personally lol.

In game that might be fun but as a working professional in a very large corporation I would most likely get sent to the work shrink... most people I run into in game are silent. No matter what I do or say and since there are no clown shoes to dance in it is really hard to make them understand I am a clown. No reason to feel sorry either I don't.

Disorientate over what duration for how many punches? It would be nice to know in the end once it is stable the thresholds for this stuff. a hand to hand addition to the meleee would be cool with different combos available and counter fighting. Not sure that is possible with this engine maybe others know?

It is not. Minus the killing and apoc. happening I sort of get treated like this in real life by everyone I know. So many of them won't even say hello back to me so I can totally understand how it feels to say it and get "blank" stares. It makes me wonder if the face I see in a mirror is not actually what others see and I have like a six foot beard that I am blind to. In this game I find it unusual that people will not talk more or at least greet each other. Real apoc comes and 60% are dead 30% are zombies and 10% can still talk to you I can promise I am going to at least want to find out where they had been to see if anything remained even if they did act untrusting (everyone would at first in real life). Just to talk with anyone else would be joy if you had been solo for months maybe years on end. It would be weird at first and you would have forgotten how to say "hello" but in a few minutes and you remember what it feels like to be human and you would at least say hello. The internet would seem like the place people have less fear of speaking but for some it seems to cripple them even more.

I had this mathmatically worked out. Like why this always equals fail in reality. I can't find the math I wrote out now... It was really something ridiculous. It ends up as nothing more than another internet pissing contest of stupidity, racism and vitriol. Forums for real communities in this sense need moderation. Even a subforum for callouts would need moderation and it would become impossible to keep up on knowing the truly juvenille attitudes of some of the people in this community. I love the idea just for the record. I like to see calling out in games that have direct face interaction in game between real people. This is not CIV 5 online. It is a savage struggle. It is lord of the flies up in here. However since that is just fantasy and we all have to "live" with one another civility goes a lot farther than open threat.

Would the server restarts be based on a yes/no if zombies are still alive when the game polls? I don't like the idea of a respawn either. I would rather there be about 100x the number of zombies and then regular timed restarts to repopulate the zombies or something like that. Loot I would have respawn so that people could not take advantage of regular restart timers. the loot would be static from restarts and just populate as needed based on whatever protocol they come up with. I seriously want at least on occasion to come over a hill or around a corner to like 800 zombies and have to decide how best to die. Have a smart enough AI as well to keep them at angles that allow this to happen as well so you don't see them approaching and get a surprise.

Well if you remember it only takes ONE. He didn't get into the fact that if you attempt TWO it generally ends in failure and the need for costly surgery :D

I had one like that once when I was in high school. I started to grow facial hair at 11 so by 15 I could get a luscious grow... It was not easy to shave it off. Nice to get served at 16 in any bar where they don't already know you. They really were lax on checking ID back then lol.

If you are doing it on purpose just to be annoying I would ask that a mod lock this thread.

Another fine day in DAYz. Learning the hard way is really the way to learn the best lessons. Don't add a space before puncuation and only one after. Makes it hard to even look at and you might consider not using walls of text. Your grammer is mostly fine it is just the formatting that makes it hard to read. watch those tenses... :)

Funny how some see it that way. To me it would seem both living and dying are part of the game and if you do not get both over time you are only getting half the game. You brought something to the table in killing someone. You brought action and adventure. if it was a solo game and only zomboids in there it would be crap utter crap. Interaction is the important part that people seem to forget. In the end it matters little if it was positive or negative as without both the game is pointless. Seems to me he should be happy he is dead or alive as long as their was player interactions. The kind of people who stew about these things probably are not good candidates for games like this. They are also those same assholes that backstab you at work and in life to get ahead because they just can't seem to win if they use the actual rule set in play. A bit of stereotyping I know but they do come from someplace don't they...

You actually feel bad over erradicated pixels? I understand that in some people this game brings out a pretty emotional response but I just don't get it. It is a game. If you feel more than that for it maybe it is not such a healthy thing for you to be participating in. Feel a little jolt from it sure but enough to feel bad hours later? Maybe I have just played to many games over the course of my life and become cold to it. Killing in a game is not killing unless you are controlling a drone someplace while you do it and there is a real life outcome over your button pushing. At worst your ruining his gaming session for him. That is sort of the point in most competitions. One person is going to go away a loser. Being the loser while it might teach also leaves a sour taste in peoples mouths. You being the victor should learn to accept the spoils of your choices. Be happy for him that he got to do something rather than just run around alone in a big pixel playground. You enriched his gaming experience by interacting with him even in a negative way.

You mean the anti social peeps that are scared of strangers hearing their voice on the internet? Funny how people play games that are built for human interaction and then do as little of it as they can. Might just be the old public speaking phobia. Some people just can't handle it.

I hope you actually look like the man in your forum pic. I just imagined that guy yelling it...

Honorable yes. Nice no. Honorable in that you gave him a fighting chance by announcing yourself. Not nice in that you intended to kill him anyway. Not that nice has anything to do with this game :D

Based on the grammer in english it could be either. Context is needed.
