Wolf' date=' the best thing you can do if you are new to Arma is go through all of the training scenarios offered in the core game. They will help you get used to everything as far as game mechanics go. As I stated in another thread, DayZ has a fairly steep learning curve. The only way you can get better at it is to just play. It is rough starting out no doubt, but you will find the longer you play, and the more you force yourself to think about what it is you are doing, the easier the game will become for you. Read the forums and find the bugs that are within the game already (inventory issues being a big one). It will help you as a player going through your DayZ world, and it will help reduce clutter on the forums in regard to multiple posts on the same topics. A lot of those games are pretty awesome. Personally my favorite will always be the first Resident Evil. I believe it was one of the first great zombie games that did a fairly good job of immersing the player. Nothing does beat DayZ though. Is the game you are talking about this? Project Zomboid Unreleased Windows An isometric zombie survival role-playing game under ongoing development.[75] @Asigiam Having a PvE only server will not help you in this game at all. It takes a couple hours tops to figure out how to get around zombies be it day or night time. What keeps you on edge in this game is the PvP aspect of it. That is the unknown that you always have to account for. Remove it and you are left with the 100+ games that I listed above.

That is the point. You don't need a giant map to just shoot PvE zombies. So here is your list of games that will provide you with a zombie only shooting experience. [snip - It isn't necessary to spam the entire list if you're including it in your post. - Ubi] Taken from http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_zombie_video_games I apologize, I meant eight and two thirds dozen. This isn't a PvE game. Go play one of the above if that is what you want.

You need a 225km map to shoot zombies? There are about 5 dozen games I can think of that would suit your play style.

Tell me then, what exactly is the PvP problem? You being shot on sight? You pose a threat to the person that you stumble upon. They have no idea what your intentions are, they do not know if you are there to kill them, so they are defending themselves. Bandits are a real thing. How you think this wouldn't apply if a real apocalypse happened boggles my mind. Gangs already exist in the world, and there are already some places you can go to in major cities where you can be shot on sight for any number of reasons. Some are just groups of people forming together, others are some of the most cutthroat people in the world. They do not care about you. This mimics the shoot on sight "problem" perfectly. PvP is not a problem. Why you guys keep saying this I don't know. If you find yourself constantly being shot, you need to re-evaluate what it is you are doing. If you spawn on the edge of Electro, instead of running into Electro, go the other way. Stop running straight into towns without observing activity in the town first. If you don't, you are bound to find someone and get shot. Those of you that think that PvP is a problem would be among the 99% of people who would have become infected if something like this ever really happened. You group together with a couple people you know, and you stay together. You don't take unnecessary risks like finding everything you need to move north in a grocery store, but still wanting to check out the corner store across the street. If you ran into another survivor who was unarmed, just asking him if he is friendly isn't going to tell you anything about him. You have to watch him and monitor his behavior. If you managed to build up a sizable camp on a server, would you take someone you had never met before straight to its location and log off leaving them there just because they said friendly once over voice chat? For all you know they could take all your gear/vehicles, and destroy whatever else was left there. You wouldn't bring a stranger there. You have to build trust among people you do not know. If you do not do this, you are just asking to get shot in the back every time you see someone. Mind that you are playing a extremely difficult and cutthroat game based on survival. People would kill because they can in a post apocalyptic world, there is nothing to punish them for doing so. They aren't going to go to jail. If anything they are gaining something out of it because they know it is one less person they have to worry about. So again, for those of you who think there is a PvP problem, what exactly is the problem? You are trying to establish rules in a world where no rules exist. What you currently see as wrong, could be completely changed through an event as traumatic as a zombie apocalypse. In order for you to be completely immersed, you have to accept the storyline/events given to you in a game. It is no different from when you go watch a movie or read a book based in a fantasy world. The sooner you accept the PvP aspect of DayZ, the more enjoyable your experience will be. You say there is a PvP problem within DayZ. I say there is a lack of people who know how to minimize their risks. DayZ has a pretty steep learning curve, but that is what makes the game so fun. There is not a PvP problem in the game. People just have no idea how to build trust amongst each other. Stop posting about your mistakes and start learning from them. If you do this, the only person who will be mad is Rocket, because the average life expectancy will start to go up again. TL;DR - Stop being surprised every time you are shot on sight, and start being surprised when you meet someone who doesn't.

People really need to stop coming up with ideas to try and "fix the PvP problem". There isn't one. It is all in your head.

This should have been standard. Unless my backpack was the size of a car, it doesn't make any sense that a M107 would fit inside of it anyway. Backpacks should be extremely valuable. Get the second primary weapon out of it and let us put it on our backs.

There isn't a PvP problem. The only problem is you think there is a PvP problem. You all want to encourage people to play in a group? Lead by example. Get a group of people and stick together. More people will follow. You are trying to balance a game that starts you off with nothing, against great odds, and your success is completely dependent on how you choose to survive in a completely open world. Everyone has access to all the same gear. Everyone can go to all the same places. Everyone can use the same vehicles. Your survival is based on the choices you make. If you think there is a PvP problem, you are making the wrong choices. You want people to seek others out and offer medical help? There is a giant group of people that do this already. There's a huge post on the forums advertising their assistance if it is needed. http://dayzmod.com/forum/showthread.php?tid=4581 People play the game how they want. If you want to play the game a certain way, you need to figure out how you need to play the game in order to play like that. How you play doesn't always go hand in hand with how you want to play. I highly suggest you read this thread to find your missing "incentives" to teamwork. http://dayzmod.com/forum/showthread.php?tid=10189

I like this. I couldn't imagine how pissed some assholes would be if this was put in the next patch but left out of the patch notes. Guy gets shot, tries to DC and gets a giant :P on his screen. If he keeps trying to do it he shohuld get a :huh: followed with a :dodgy: and :@. I love it. +100

I'm pretty sure you just proved my point by saying you've never found rare loot (as in' date=' NVGs and rangefinders) without farming. Bet you've never found satchel charges either. [/quote'] Idk I'd consider M4 CCO SD as rare loot. And the SVD Camo/M107/M24/M4 HWS M203/M4A3 CCO/M16A4 ACOG/M16A2GL/M136 RL/Satchel Charges. You do not need to farm to find this stuff, you just need luck. As far as the list of loot that I had not found in the barracks, only two of those items can spawn in the barracks. If you only consider "rare loot" as NVG's, Range Finders and Satchel Charges, you are wrong.

there is a bug with that. if you put any big gun in your backpack' date=' it's instantly vaporized and you lose it. no joke, its happened to me at least three times. [/quote'] It isn't so much a bug as just a crappy inventory system. There are proper ways to swap weapons in and out of your backpack without losing anything, you just have to know what you're doing.

It is farming and no one is talking about duping anymore. Learn to read what people type.

I like having Cherno and Electro the way it is now. It offers a different style of game play within the same game. Not everyone wants to run for 3 hours trying to get back north again after a death. Sometimes people need a break, and want to see how long they could survive inside a city. Cherno and Electro offer that point of view.

Wait' date=' so "it's" getting stupid, or [i']you are? Why would you go into town with only an axe? I find this entertaining. Guy runs into major town with an axe. Guy dies. Guy comes and complains on forums about game being too difficult. Thread #1425671 on the topic.

Like I said, you can't expect the people who you intended this thread to be for to be able to get the gear you listed.

He created the game, he can do what he wants. More news at 11.
