Detering is fine punishing is not and this punishing a certain play style.

No cause that is only thinking of one side of the equation, it isn't realistic and will increase KoS. I could take out how a squad of guys and while I am dealing with the last remaining guy a fresh spawn comes a long and steals all my loot rendering the bodies un-lootable, now I am forced to kill said freshie cause he has my hard earned gear.

Just in case OP missed it

Well I appreciate the work you guys do, it must be no easy task considering everything is hackable. It's like trying to stay on step ahead of the guys who are trying to stay one step ahead lol Nothing brings me more pleasure seeing the left hand of my screen pop up with big red letters... "Global Ban blah blah" I just say to my team there goes another post on the forums tomorrow haahahah

While I absolutely 100% agree with your frustration, 2 hrs is BS! I want to play with my friends not have them die and the whole team has to server hop. That kills immersion fast and only would create frustration. 10 minutes I could deal with and actually I like that idea, it would take the pressure off big time. Also I don't think you should be able to loot your body but then people would just have their mates loot the gear and then give it to them, which in turn would give solo players a huge disadvantage. So I don't think that is fair. Moving spawns all over the map IMO is an absolute must.

I just wrote out a massive post and lost it all, sorry can't be assed doing it again lol Maybe later lol

Ok lets compare a game that isn't out from alpha to game that has not only been fully released for years but also mod tools to allow the community to develop additional goodies. Think about this, are there bino's in arma? Do they work better than DayZ? Do you think the bino's in DayZ will always work the way they do now? Of course not but with your logic cause they work in arma they must work in DayZ it's the same engine. It's called the development process and clearly with you have no understanding of it. Balancing will occur at the end of the process Well done champ, cry some more :thumbsup:

It should be about skill and bullet dispersion can burn in hell. /story In saying that "balancing" and bullet mechanics is for later on down the path. Don't get me wrong, discuss it all you like but it will be refined I promise you. You can't compare this to arma, although it seems it a bit copy and paste this is a build from the ground up.

I know exactly what you are talking about and in 3pp it is even worse than that. You can look through entire buildings lol

Nope, no it's not.

Mate, his voice is definitely unique but I wouldn't call it annoying. I have a similar issue with one of the guys I play with, not so much his voice but his "live" mic and breathing. I have worked out how to edit him in sony vegas and now just replace it with in game sound (copy + paste) as long as it dosen't take away too much from the vid. If you use sony vegas you can also play around with the audio stream and that might help a little. Youtube search for adjusting voice blah blah If you listen around the 1 minute mark here you should hear what I mean... and then on this vid which had him breathing loudly and constantly throughout the whole thing. I edited him out and hopefully no one is the wiser Hope that helps

I am sorry for the misunderstanding. I have read your initial post several times with a great deal of attention and can only see a question mark once which you answered yourself. With the rest of your dialogue, it seems to me you are making statements not asking questions, I fail to see what question you are asking. Statement Statement Statement (which we will come back to) Question, you answered it yourself Statement and an odd one at that Statement Statement and at this point I have no idea what point you are trying to make. It probably makes sense in your head but to the outside observer, none. Now.... How do you know we haven't done this... to death. I am literally closing in on nearly 2000hrs of the mod and SA combined. I find friendly play boring NOW. Of course they are valid, that's exactly what they were designed to be. Put a gun in a game and what do you expect the outcome to be? Put a car in a game and what do you expect the outcome to be? Make a house of it? The dev's put guns in the game because that is their vision of how the game should be. Partly yes and partly no. To say that it is natural human behaviour to want to kill people is a very complex issue and it cannot be summed up easily in a simple statement, do humans have the capability? Sure! but you don't need to look at video games to see that. However trying to link what someone does in a game to their mental situation is beyond ridiculous and that is where you are going wrong. I think you are wrong because what I get enjoyment out of, is not killing of other players. I get enjoyment out of the tension, the suspense, the adrenaline rush pumping through my body when I spot someone or when I am hunting someone or when I get shot at. If I just wanted to kill people I would play BF or CoD. Killing people is just the vehicle in which I get that rush. In fact the rush comes more from not wanting to die more than the killing and also it is like any competitive game or sport, human nature wants to win, nobody wants to lose. The raging afterwards (outside of the game) by the people above is like the cherry on the cake, the justification of the murder if you will. If people are going to get so upset by their character dying in game, it makes me laugh and it seriously makes me question their mental stability. When I was a young kid playing sport, we were taught to be graceful in victory and defeat. What we have here is equivalent of a child losing a game of soccer, throwing a tantrum and demanding the rules be changed to suit his/her lack of skill and taking his/her ball home until everyone else plays by their new rules.

No this is where I totally and utterly disagree and your biggest problem is you are trying to analyse this from only ONE perspective. You are saying because player x does this then that means it should equal that, causation and correlation my friend. You are missing a HUGE part of the puzzle, it's like saying because someone plays GTA and only steals cars, that they must be a thief in real life or because a person plays arma 3 they must be a psychopath. It is so far from the truth it is not funny. You would get more of an insight in to my mental state by studying ALL of posts on this forum and watching my videos I post online than from reading one post of "HAHA, I like killing you and making you rage about your lost treasures." You are failing miserably at armchair psychoanalysis because instead of delving deeper into the midset, you already have your patient pigeon holed and now trying to manipulate the truth to back up your already preconceived assumptions.

2am Local standard time: Outbreak of unknown uncontrollable virus confirmed and spreading like wildfire. 2.15am: Local military begin mobilisation to northern and western borders to set up a inner quarantine parameter. An outer parameter control line will be setup by neighbouring armies. Anyone attempting to leave this area will be shot on sight including any and all military personal. 4.15: Inner parameter locked down and no exit of the area allowed until further analysis has been completed. Anyone coming within 100 metres of border will be shot on sight as well. (This is where the map of Chernarus ends)

They had this on some servers in the mod and I liked it. It would be a good addition but I haven't heard anything on it officially.

No thanks

It will be removed. Rocket was talking about it, iirc on a sacriel stream.

No not really, pretty laggy after last patch but a big one is coming soon ....YAH! I'd say end of the month. As for dying you ain't got nothing on this dude...

Hard core is all pro's baby. - Minimised wall glitching - Buildings are a lot harder to camp - Snipers are less reluctant to camp on roof tops - You can hide in grass if you are within a hundred metres or so of another player - People are somewhat friendlier - More immersion - Evens the playing field

Edge of the map?

I think one of two things need to happen. 1) You can't log out in certain "zones", if you are accidentally disconnected you spawn at the closet point outside of the zone you were in. or 2) Bring back the log in noise. It's pretty unfair to clear a building only to have someone spawn behind you without penalty and shoot you in the back. The loading sound was fine for me and TBH I couldn't give a shit what noise it was as long as there is a distinguishable noise. The gun reloading sound could be negated by unloading your gun before exiting the server.

No the reason you call us CoD kiddies is because you have no argument and can only resort to name calling. See how xant and myself AREN'T calling the players who want interaction with people, lonely sad individuals who probably have no friends in real life and mummy didn't love them enough? That's what you are doing, it is childish at best. I play DayZ to kill people and who the hell are you to tell me that I shouldn't do that? The dev's put guns in the game for that reason, Rocket loves PVP and he even put it in the server rules that there is not allowed to be "Friendly" or "PvE" only servers. If you are caught kicking people for that reason you will lose your server and here you are calling people names and acting like a child because you want everyone else to play how you want them to play, if they don't you want to penalise them and you want them to play in way contradictory to the way the game is designed? I am laughing right now because of two reasons 1) DayZ never has and never will be the game you think it should be, it might be "modded" that way later but the core game will never be. 2) The fact you keep posting up this stuff just fuels fire for players like xant and myself, when will you learn lol

Go to Piano houses and police stations they are everywhere.

WTF? SKS is like the most commonly found gun. I found 3 in one building the other day.

This new navmesh is truly amazing and the amount of hours that went into it must have been phenomenal. I am looking forward to this patch more than any others so far.
