Pretty sure 1-3 is the spawn rate of the flyable heli's on the server, not the crashed ones. If you found 6 close together, congratulations, you got lucky.

Yes you can. Just shot 3 zeds in nw barracks through the windows. There may be velocity loss because of the glass, but you can definitely kill them.

So what do you propose the people who own the server do? Go sit in the woods and sing songs? Wtf does them being a server owner have to do with anything anyway. They die and start over just like everyone else. Are you trying to fault them for playing in the server that they pay for? Because your logic right now is pretty sparse.

Wouldn't mind playing as one. Would be a good reason to let them be able to attack. ^.^ Letting them attack could be a good way of using a non-lethal way of subduing someone. Have it knock the person out after a couple bites.

Disconnecting to avoid death. NJ posting a video showing one of the major exploits in the game. Disappointing since I was enjoying the vid all the way until that point. Just because the guy who shot you dc'd doesn't mean it's ok for you to do it.

They are more concerned with how zombies work because DayZ is not meant for Arma 2. The finished product should be done at or around the time Arma 3 is released. Supposedly there are already tons of bugs in arma 2 that do not exist in arma 3. So working on architecture might not be a primary concern for them if they already know there are no issues with it in the game the mod is planning on being released for as a final product. That being said, they have already tried to fix the zombies going through walls, and hitting players through walls as well. Until it gets fixed all we can do is report the problem and hope it gets addressed in future updates.

The post that was literally right below yours before I posted this already has 15 pages of replies about this topic.

+1 There should be a LOT more skins in the game. Give people a choice that fits their play style.

You used the search function and couldn't find any threads about the "PvP problem"? Did you have your monitor on?

+1,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 You can't even read about potential ideas because of the amount of people posting about "fixing" "broken" PvP. Edit: Thread should be stickied or reposted by a moderator.

1. Because that is what they stated they wanted the game to be. 2. Rocket allowed him to do so providing he told him everything he was going to be doing ahead of time, always keeping him informed. Additionally, you don't know that it was only going to be PvE in the single player. Arma does have the capability of providing AI that can walk and shoot. The absolutist quote comes from the FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS. They either a) got tired of people asking about it and put it in the FAQ or b) knew people would be asking about it once the mod became more popular, and didn't want to take the time to respond to every post regarding PvE servers. 3. It does affect the hardcore players. People get familiar with DayZ in supercarebare PvE mode. Then they get bored, and want something different. Now the people who only wanted to play on PvE servers, start coming into the PvP ones. They didn't want to play on PvP servers to begin with, and now they will do nothing but whine on the forums about nerfing X, Y, and Z for the servers we have always played on. You can roll your eyes or say that isn't likely to happen, but I honestly can't think of a single game that it hasn't happened in. As soon as you start to separate the community, people always end up wanting what they can't have. The grass is always greener on the other side, and once they would get to that side, they would want to start encorporating things only found in PvE only servers. This isn't WoW. There is no "flagged" PvP system where you can't hit me one second but as soon as you turn around I can flag and shoot you in the back. PvP is a core mechanic of the game. It greatly assists the player in immersing them into their environment. What you are suggesting is no different from me suggesting that Rocket has servers that are only 100% PvP with zero zombies. That isn't what DayZ is. We need to be suggesting ideas that make the game better, not completely change what the game already is.

So you want to remove people being paranoid about being able to be shot anywhere they go, and only having to worry when they visually see another survivor within 300m? No thanks, this idea destroys the immersion in the game. Bandits aren't the only ones who use sniper rifles. Many a time I have covered friends entering into Starry/NWAF/NEAF from afar making sure nothing happens to them. If you properly survey and scout an area, you shouldn't have to worry about snipers anyway.

Because all or nothing is what separates this from all other games. It is the selling point for the entire game. Hard to learn, difficult to adapt to, unfair to many, unforgiving to many more. People are TIRED of games that cater to everyone. That business model destroys franchises. You cannot maintain balance in a gaming community when there are 4-12 different types of players you have to adjust your game for. You want to shoot zombies with no PvP? Here's a list of games that are made for you. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_zombie_video_games You want an unforgiving, more realistic experience that has zombies, but the primary concern of everyone playing is other players, then DayZ is your game. The entire Arma franchise is not designed to cater to the masses. Why do you think they would all of a sudden change their minds just because DayZ has been successful? People were promoting Arma 3 long before DayZ. This means they had already planned to continue with their business model of not catering to everyone. They have already answered the PvE only question. "Q: Turn PvP Off? A: No. PvP is a core part of the DayZ atmosphere and we aren't going to restrict it. Just go inland away from the built up towns along the coast where players spawn." Stop trying to make the game into something the majority of players, and the Devs, don't want. PvE servers remove a CORE mechanic from the game.

This is not always true, and technically you could argue that every mod available for Arma continues to divide its playerbase, which is never a good thing. The Battlefield 2 expansion packs struggled because of this, even though most of them were pretty fun to play. The more streamlined the game is, the more people will play it. Some of the highest selling games of all time have been some of the most restricted games yet.

DMR works with NVGs, which they have now.

Here's an idea. Why don't we use the search function and reply in the thread this was already suggested in. Especially since it happens to be on the very next page.

Any update on the update?

Yes because turning around and looking at a tree during the day will suddenly make everything you see pitch black. @daxter Nice vid. FYI just because someone has NV doesn't make them a glitcher/duper/exploiter/hacker.

FYI they never removed it. The gun is rare enough as it is, and it has its own disadvantages as well. It is a pretty garbage gun for cqc because of the scope. It is really only good for spotting, which is exactly what thermal is used for anyway. By no means is it not useful during the day either. Whoever said that obviously hasn't ever used it. It has its pluses and minuses. The good outweighs the bad, but the gun is extremely rare.

Lol.

Still no. Thought you got the idea of what the game was about from your "remove PvP" post you deleted. Or maybe a mod deleted it because it was so ridiculous. In either case, as multiple people pointed out to you, PvP isn't going to go away. You have to earn not being shot in the face by a stranger. It takes just as long as stalking someone to guarantee a kill, if not longer. If you aren't going to put the time and effort into earning someone trust in game, they shouldn't have to risk getting shot in the face by some looney running around Cherno screaming friendly.

As the title states. I think this would greatly help people looking for the latest information DayZ staff members have posted in the threads they have created. Several gaming forums have this feature, and I think it would greatly cut down on the question asking on topics Devs have already answered.
