Players are always wayyy too clueless. For the love of God, people, pay attention. It's so frustrating watching people stumble through the environment and never learning. Stealth is so easy and players continually make bad decisions because they're so impatient. It's so easy to pull just one zed at a time. We really need to be careful because people cry for nerfs all the time.

Nobody on this website can help you. Contact BattleEye. That is your only option.

Self pride? C'mon dude, really? This is a fine suggestion. It's been suggested so many times. It can't be done. Developers have stated this LONG ago. You can find the developer answer to this in the FAQ thread, which is pinned in the News and Announcement subforum.

I would generally agree to the things said here. Maybe that's the right solution. At any rate, it looks like it's a difficult thing to balance. Maybe they should cheat the system and reduce blood loss while uncon. Honestly, I've never considered stunning a player as a way to try and befriend them. Subduing someone is a hostile act. Like being hogtied. Talking to them while they're in a building is usually a much more reliable tactic. We're going to have to meet on equal terms if you want to be friendly.

You always attack the issue and blame the hardware. Should people be expected to spend thousands of dollars just to play a game? Don't you think that the product should be able to perform on average and accessible components? Do you think that unreasonable system requirements are the foundation for a good business model? And why hate on consoles? They're not exactly a niche market.

Maybe you hit a tripwire. This is what I'm hoping for, because it's usually hilarious. Maybe cheaters got you. Cyber security is a global issue that affects everything. Go ahead and write a strongly worded letter to all of the communist heads of state because this is way beyond anything Bohemia Interactive, BattleEye, and even Tencent can do anything about. Tencent has stake in B.I., is worth 579 BILLION dollars, and is totally hamstrung by the whims of Xi Jinping. That's how it works.

I'd like to give praise to the OP for starting a discussion with the community in order to find a solution to an observed problem. However, it isn't a problem for the vanilla product. As others have implied, please don't impose morality into the game. It's unfair to all of the hard working sociopaths that play. Gamers like to shoot other gamers in video games because no one gets hurt in real life when they do it. Let's not ruin that please. But by all means, feel free to make a morality mod and then try to sell the idea.

Are we going to get another interview with Filip Doksansky? Is he going to answer a bunch of worthless questions again including how we can't compare Enfusion to other engines? Or maybe we can get a worthwhile interview that discusses actual marketing, growth, and how they're going to avoid all of those mistakes they made with DayZ. We need an interview about the new engine that looks at the company through a lens that identifies good business models, not technical potential. Here is the video. Please do not make a 2022 version of this interview. Please give us worthwhile information.

We need a stun gun? Did the uncon mechanic stop working?

Honestly, security isn't even an issue. All problems are solved with private servers. The real problem is building code around fighting cheaters instead of straight optimization. No, it's fine by me if you want to talk about this. Maybe you don't have to start a new thread every time tho? Hardware ID bans is a one shot tactic in the ongoing war on cheaters, which are always 2 steps ahead of the people trying to stop them. Bad people innovate ways to ruin other people and it always takes time to find a solution and repair the damage. This has been happening since people have been walking upright. Companies are being held for ransom for hundreds of millions of dollars. The U.S. government is also upping their game because cybercriminals are such an issue. This is way, way beyond the scope of BattleEye, DayZ, and video games. https://www.nbcnews.com/tech/security/battle-us-ransomware-hackers-escalating-rcna2129 Basically, if you're complaining about cheaters in video games then you're completely unaware of the world outside of your own xbox. Please write a nice letter to Putin and Xi Jinping. Tell them to knock it off.

Then don’t post if you’re not going to engage. Stop being ignorant. You DO see cheaters in other games! They’re all over. Open a news feed once a week. Then realize that this is a global problem. Cyber criminals have infected way more than just the video game you play. Anyone who demands action against cheaters MUST be clueless as to the state of the world right now. The technology doesn’t exist to stop cyber cheaters. Get learnd

Sounds like a griefer’s wet dream.

Yea. You tried to explain your point of view but you did a shit job of it. Accusing people of being cheaters because they disagreed and/or didn't understand you is terrible way to address the problem you have. And again. the cheating in video games stems from an issue that is way beyond the scope of BI. How is Bohemia Interactive going to hold these cheaters accountable? Invade China? The technology doesn't exist to solve these problems.

This is what I want, too. I'm not sure how well a simulator can mimic real life combat when it comes to hit indicators. I've never been shot in real life but I imagine that your adrenaline level would play a significant role in hit detection. But sometimes you have adrenaline and sometimes you don't. Maybe have the indicator flash in one spot on the screen to indicate that you've just taken a bullet and are hemorrhaging blood. This is a fair thing for a game to have. And for designers to want in their game, right?

Will there be a wipe with this update moving to stable?

Why raid and destroy bases when you can sneak in and replace all of their animal fat with human fat? Kuru was wiped out in the 20th Century. Tribes would eat the dead (their kin) as a ritualistic practice. Kuru prions were transmitted from cooked brain matter. The laughing that goes with Kuru is very late stage. By then, you're already completely incapacitated from the other devastating effects. Which don't exist at all in DayZ. It's fine if there's some mechanic that deals with eating players. There can be a punishment for chronic cannibalism, sure. But having to kill yourself because your squad-mate-noob put human fat in the base stash with the other food is extreme. Lets punish chronic bad behavior, not honest accidents. Weird people around the globe have been drinking human blood for decades. None of those idiots ever got kuru. Personally, I would consider a visual nerf for a short time. Maybe make sway worse. Have it induce vomiting. At least change the UI icon so that the fat looks different.

When the most logical move is to kill yourself because you accidentally ate human fat instead of animal fat, then yes, it's dumb. People are not going to KOS more because there's no penalty on eating human meat. Give me a break. Eating your victim is not a requirement. Please go read up on Kuru, how it works in real life, then tell me about the similarities it has with the game mechanic.

Taking one bite of human muscle in-game is basically committing suicide. You're going to want a respawn, for sure. No one wants to listen to that nonsense. It's a terrible mechanic aside from the fact that it's not anything like Kuru in real life. I'm not sure a penalty is needed. Just make their nutritional value lower.

Oh wonderful. You found out about wiki. Now we have expert advice. Okay, so apparently kuru effects happen immediately now and are not tied to the normal decade long incubation period. And it’s no longer tied to just eating brain matter. You can get it by eating by muscle tissue. And it’s no longer limited to a select few indigenous tribes in the jungle. But it’s on wiki, so it must be authentic. there should be no penalty in dayz for cannibalism, a world devoid of any morality or authenticity as it is.

How about we get rid of the laughing nonsense. This is not how Kuru works at all. Not even close to authentic.

Historically, kvass has been 1% to 2% alcohol by volume. So, safe enough for Slav kids.

Grenades, Cooking pot and Stove raiding.....

If the server is following the rules then they are properly listed here. https://www.bohemia.net/monetization/approved/dayz If you're some highly competitive DayZ PVP pro, then you should already be doing reconnaissance on potential servers, right? If you're deep into modded PVP then you should know about this list. In my opinion there is no abuse. This is money doing its job. Seems pretty reasonable.

So, most players can’t understand what Priority Access means?? How do you know this? How do you know that ‘most players’ are oblivious?? Where do you get your metrics? How many of the current player base, to the nearest percent, would you say that don’t understand how this works? Seems like a straight forward type of concept.

Oh. But you DO have options. You have the option to not play on that server. You have the option to pay for P.A. Vote with your feet. Or avoid servers with P.A. It seems to be a great way to help build communities and fund servers that wouldn't otherwise exist. You don't seem to like it, and that's fine, but you're not required to play there. You understand how the system works. You know how to not get killed because of restarts. Just apply that tactic. Maybe you need to realize other options other than logging right back into servers with P.A.
