There is only one decent one in there and that is ZeroSurvival.net but it has 3rd person view so it doesn't fit me..... Rest are just crap 200+ vehicles and selblodbagging and shit. And that ZeroSurvival server is empty most of the time of day I play....Find me a server like it but with 1st person only that is populated and I'll be grateful and I'll shut up... And also find me a Namalsk server that is close to ZeroSurvival.net that is populated, heck even one with 3rd person as long as it's not 24/7 daylight and 200+ vehicles.... And also I just browsed dayz commander just know, and it doesn't even have close to the numbers that's in your screenshoot, only 2 servers with more than 15 players and they are crap... If I filter out 3rd person, I get one server that has any players(13) but it has 999 vehicles..... This is what has fucking happend to the mod and I wouldn't like it to happen to Dayz SA too..

Im not kicking a man when he's down, I just telling the thruth of what the communety has become....Hardcore servers are still out there, but not a single soul plays on them because when easymode is available most people seem to choose it... Name a single non 3rd person view server with vanilla hard settings and also has night mode that has any people playing on them,,,,please,,,I have looked for weeks but their all gone.....Give me one and I'll shut up(preferably a namalsk server), but chernarus would also be fine....

Giving admins to much choice on the servers isn't good at all, look at what happend to the mod. Try find a populated server today that doesn't have 1000+ vehicles, self bloodbagging and all that bullshit. Most people when given the option seems to choose the easy way and that ruined the mod. I'd say force everyone to play Dayz SA like it was supposed to be(hard), that way it won't be ruined like the mod with all these COD kids paradise servers. Give us realism instead of easymode, where you always know where bandits are because it gets announced over sidechat and you know where all the heros to you rescue are because they annonce it too you, also I don't want my position to be revealed when Im a bandit, takes away the element of surprise and makes it too easy for heros to hunt me down.

Choice is sometimes good, but in this chase not!! Because if you give the admins the option, we all know every server will have it turned on and then we who don't want it are forced to have it just like in the mod. So no matter how you look at it, your suggestion force us to play the way you want, just as not having it force you to play the way we want...

Well, Im open minded, so tell us what you want to see implemented too avoid KOS'ing? I you really have a solution, then tell us instead of whining about getting KOS'ed. Out of my 140 hour playing I have been KOS'ed 5-6 times, I don't see that as a big problem at all. In a real apocalypse, there would be phsycopats, serial killers, cannibals, rapists, nechrophiles and all sorts of scum that wouldn't ask if your friendly before they kill you and eat your corpse...When you get KOS'ed, just pretend that it was one of these kinds that killed you, very realistic if you ask me. And no, I never KOS myself but we need KOS'ers just as we need heros, bandits and naive mothefuckers. I want to have the fear of being sniped, and that I have too be on the edge all the time to avoid getting killed, just like I would fear anyone in a real apocalypse.

Me too, but I have never made contact with anyone. What is the range of these things and why doesn't anybody use them? One time I made broadcast for hours but no one picked up and answered me..I have started to think maybe they don't work....

Yeah so you wanna force others play the way you want and I wanna force you to play the way I want this game to be played, what's the difference?. Im voicing my opinion for players who want realism, you want more unrealistic ways to cummunicate, fair enough...We already have teamspeak for that... We all know that the minute we give admins the right to turn on sidechat, all servers will have it, just like in the mod.....

Well he's fake, im the real master of all machete masters, I command you to end that fake machete masters life or the real master of all machete masters is gonna hunt you down to end you and your fake machete masters life. :D Im the god of all machete masters in the universe...muhahahahaha

Range is one thing, but the Arma engines simulates real physics better than any engine out there. There is so much more going on under the hood than in any other arcade engine out there. BF4 engine, works good for an arcade game, no way in hell that I want an engine like that for dayz.... I am a 'simmer' and fly alot of flightsimulators and heli sims, and Arma engines actually are pretty close to those sims with heli physics allthough it doesn't simulate 'vortex ringstate' and other advanced things but it does a fair job with the basics, now where arma shines is what it simulates when it comes to ground combat and weapon systems. BF4 engine and other FPS engines does not simulate shit, they just look pretty....

Ok, but fuck text sidechat texting too, It should be hard to find friends in an apocalypse, It should not be as easy as text 'wanna team up' on sidechat. And no one should be 'warned' where bandits are and areas to avoid, it takes away all the risks. If you want to talk bullshit with your friends use fucking teamspeak or something. Wanna play with others join a clan or whatever or get your friends to play with you. And no, there is no 'funny' guys on sidechat, only dickheads that ruin the fucking immersion, I could not care less if it even was Bill Hicks speaking over global. If I want funny guys speak I go watch a comedy show or something.

Noooooooooo, fuck the sidechat, it was the most annoying thing in the mod because there was always some idiot that wanted to fart into the mic or something, and once somebody started it was like an spreading infection and all the sudden all kinds of weird noises started coming out of sidechat from more and more people and it totally ruined the immersion. And then I had to go through alot of 'muting', sometimes upto 10 people had to be muted. And even the sidechat text is annoying..... We have walkie talkies, they only need to give them a little more range and also make them more easy to find....then we can communicate more realisticly.... Fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuck sidechat, never allow any admins to turn it on again ever!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Exactly what I ment, it all depends on what the terrain is like and recoil also makes it impossible to see at far ranges, heck I have trouble seing the impact at even 200 meters with .22lr unless I shoot into water... Maybe theres something wrong with my eyes :rolleyes:

But im sure it's just temperary anyway and you'll get that hit detection later on....

Have you ever tried a sniper rifle in real life? Then you would know that you won't see where the bullet lands unless you use a 50Cal and the bullet hits a sand dune.....

All you guys that say BI engines are crap and all and compares them to arcadish FPS engines, wake up!! ARMA engines are simulators, where engines like Frostbite and others are arcade FPS engines. When doing simulation it takes alot more computer resources than these other non simulator engines and are much more harder to develop. Arma engines are unique and we don't have any good alterantives to them, if Dayz ever was built on some of these arcadish FPS engines it would be the day I stopped playing Dayz. I want realism and not an arcade game...

So someone has problems at sniper hill??? Can't wait until we get wind affecting snipers and make it really hard to calculate hits:D

Who the hell is this Machete Master you always seem to talk about???.....Wait a minute, Im machete master, lets meet ingame so I can chop your head off with my newly sharpened machete...

You should consider playing Arma 'life', it has stright rules against KOS'ing, not dayz I know, but if you play Dayz, getting killed by other players is part of the game wether you like it or not. Also learn some skills and you will see that you can avoid getting KOS'ed. KOS'ing has been around since the mod so it's not something new in dayz, and there aren't any 'rules' against it anyway, so offcourse people will continue to do it. Just deal with it or go play something else..... Im not a KOS'er myself but having to fear snipers just brings extra tension to the game so I like it, as long as not everybody does it Im okay with it.

I have only used UK servers(hardcore EXP) and my character gets saved......

Hilarious :D :thumbsup:

I have, but only sneaking on the outskirts and observed people getting killed:p. If there was a script kiddie there wouldn't he find me with he's 'GPS'... And im not saying script kiddies isnt' an issue at all, but not more than any other game out there. No mattter how much anti hack protection we get, there will alwasy be someone who crack it, so the problem will alwasy follow us in online gaming, just the way it is, deal with it or stop playing video games...

Why not, it makes the colours so wicked and alive, and so much more immersive, and the zombies comes out of the screen in 3d, awsome :D.
