Quoted for truth, especially if you are in my territory.

Hopefully there will never be an identification system. In saying that BI are going to allow mods so eventually some servers will have them. Why does everyone want to kill the immersion?

It all depends on the other vehicles. I am not a fan of any weapon mounted vehicles like in the mod because it turns it from a survival game into Arma. Vehicles should be transport only. It was amazing parachuting down into the middle of a firefight and taking on everyone in the mod but to sight there and light up anyone you see from the safety of your warm heli was just plan overkill. It will be interesting to see what the dev's finally implement for sure.

No the worst DayZ players are combat loggers and cheats.

This is exactly where you are. I heard it was going to be called Chenya Polana or something to that effect...

I am speechless! http://imgur.com/a/ZR5g5

And this is why we can't have nice things. The number 1 lesson for a Bambi is GET OFF THE COAST!

I really don't understand how people can be complaining about the food situation, it is far too ABUNDANT and as soon as you have the healthy status you really don't require a lot after that. As a fresh spawn you can run from the coast to NWAF without eating, so it is not like you need to eat the instant you spawn. I don't know how many times this has to be said but GET OFF THE COAST!

I am not sure I like the whole fire and forget type devices. It requires absolutely no skill to pop down a mine in a high traffic area. Booby traps in forests would be cool as long as it isn't insta-death type scenarios. Being caught upside by a leg rope trap and only a knife could set you free. Otherwise you would have to wait till someone finds you or you die of starvation would be interesting but running along and BOOM, is just no fun IMO. Another one could be something that breaks your legs and again you can get yourself out of it or get rescued but it's not just a silly insta-death.

"You can please all of the people some of the time and some of the people all of the time but you can never please all of the people all of the time.” People think they get to demand certain aspects to a game cause they forked over some money. Everything that comes from the community is "suggestions" and the quickest way to get your suggestion ignored or discredited is to act like a child when delivering it. Constructive criticism should be and is encourage but don't act like everyone of your demands should be met within the time frame you demand. The dev's owe you a working game and it is already that. No game I have ever played is perfect and I have been gaming for 30+ years.

It wasn't this guy was it?

Lol, well should have a look here princess. http://forums.dayzgame.com/index.php?/topic/182475-solution-for-server-hopping/?p=1885025

So, I was playing DayCare last night with my team and we had cornered 2 guys on a tree covered mound near NEAF after they murdered my mate. I had fully flanked them and knew round about where they were. As I approached over the crest the urge to press the "up periscope" button was immense not because I wanted it but because I knew I was at a huge disadvantage if they were in 3PP (which who isn't lol). I rounded the top and shot one in the back and killed him as his friend came running around a tree. If I was in 3PP I would have shot and killed him first, he was closer and more of a threat. We exchanged and we both died... I know I would still be alive today had I used 3PP but the experience, the immersion, the thrill was far far far more rewarding even though I died than using "go go periscope". Oh and do yourself a favour, go and buy track IR, simply the most awesome thing to hit DayZ since the removal of pants.

250+ hours so far... Never seen a hacker. I am not saying there aren't any but when someone makes a comment like then your whole argument loses merit and looks childish, weak and whiny. Now to answer your thread title, what has standalone become? Standalone hasn't become anything, it is what is and what hasn't changed apart from content since day one. As already stated DayZ is a tool, it's players make it what is. Be made at the community if you want to be mad and maybe, just maybe DayZ isn't for you.

If I am in a good mood I will kill you if... You have a gun in your hands You shoot at me You have something I want You are shooting at freshies You are holding up freshies You are freshie that can't follow orders You are friends with a freshie who can't follow orders I don't like the look of you You have a funny head You are in our territory Bad mood Everyone I have killed a lot of freshies and I mean a lot and IMO everyone deserved it. If I tell you to stop, you should stop. If I tell you to turn around slowly you should do that and not try to pull out your cute little axe. It's only going to end in you having a bad time.

Fully kitted = One weapon of your choice w/scope (mine M4 w/ acog and red dot in backpack) Full camo Improvised Bag - Large Healthy, energised, hydrated status 3 x yellow storage boxes 1 x ammo box 1 x med kit w/ morphine, epi, 2 bandages and I saline 2-3 bags of rice 1 x canteen 1 x can opener 1 x boonie Optional 7 x hats in various sizes and colours (I have a weird hat fetish)

This....soo much this

Current build, Berezino is the number one best place to spawn. If I get a spawn there I am usually kitted up within 45 minutes depending on how long the server has been up Elektro is a horrible spawn. You can have luck there but 9/10 times it is horrible. Umm no thanks. If the server drops to less than 25 people I don't want to be on it. I server hop for one thing and one thing only, for high pop servers. In a 6 hour session I probably have to change servers anywhere from 2-4 times depending on time of night. I liked the mod where every server was separate.

Who cares if people call you a Bandit?

No a suggestion is just that, a suggestion. Even if my "suggestion" had any weight whatsoever and the dev's listened to me, it is still just a suggestion. The dev's are only ones who can force anyone into a particular style/mode. Good I am glad the community is vocal whether for or against my ideas, that means it is alive and well. It is not my community it is ours... everyone's and everyone has a right to a say. Noobie or experienced anyone who has paid for the game has a right to a say. But anyway I think I have made my point, see you all on the airfield ;)

I can not and will not force people into anything. Please quote me where I said .. I just said "I haven't seen a valid excuse", pretty simple mate. No one has to provide me with no one has to do anything with what I say or post. Some people get their knickers in a twist because they fear change but I can't help that. Once two people have made their points it is usually detrimental to go backwards and forwards over the same points, that is why. Using words like "vocal minority hijacking" just makes your argument look weak and whiny. You don't need to do that to make a point, just argue the facts. Please enlighten me about this as I am new to the forums and don't know of what you are talking about.

Yes, it happens all the time in "game development" actually it is very rare to have much import as an end user into the development in any game... Hence my post ;) and who did I ask to justify their preference? I stated my thoughts on it as you do in forums and that is it, no more, no less. People can chose to either read and reply, read and ignore or just totally ignore my post. I won't lose sleep over any of those outcomes. Now in the respect for the other members if you would like to discuss this further in PM, I am more than happy to do it but don't think us going backwards and forwards will do the thread any favours.

Precisely :thumbsup: In saying that, I think if it was the only mode, people would come to love it. It is only because we have DayCare mode that people then become to rely on the advantage and in turn want it to stay. There is no valid excuse to DayCare apart from, "it's just too hard". I am not intentionally being insulting to people that play 3PP, I just have never heard a reply that has made me think differently even after reading this entire thread.

Quite simply put... not enough people play hardcore unfortunately. I don't like playing in servers that are half full.

I think you need to think that through a little more mate. ;) If you are standing at a wall, you can clearly see over it. However the poor bugger running towards it can not see you at all. You can clearly see what end he runs too and and flank from the opposite end etc. A clear advantage. I run in first person mode no matter what server I am in but I have to account for the wall advantage perspective as part of my game play. I wish there was only first person servers and really can't understand why someone would want to ruin the immersion of the game. Some people must just rely on it to get by I suppose.
