    1.14 Experimental Release

    DayZ, and this experimental patch have a great number of storage options available. When you die, it is much easier to recover and get going again. Before consoles, and before persistence, permadeath was real. Recovering is much, much easier now. Even without extra accounts, rarely do you ever restart with nothing. This isn't early access alpha stage anymore. Cheaters/hackers are everywhere. In every market and around the globe. Many countries are infamous for it. Communist governments endorse cyber attacks everywhere. Hackers in DayZ are such a small issue when you look at the situation globally. Go read a news feed. One thing that I wouldn't mind seeing with this new content is grenades as loot on plate carrying infected. Especially now that trip wires are a thing. Perhaps the screaming officers could drop an unpinned grenade on death. That'd maybe help curb players from jumping on a hesco barrier and taking out a whole dozen of them easily, one-shotting them each as they stand helpless below.

    1.14 Experimental Release

    Integrity? Hackers are everywhere, in every game. Console players can make unlimited accounts and many storage options exist. So, permadeath is also trivial. Cars fly and base building has many problems. I'm thinking that another duplication method found, on a forum that barely anyone reads, is not going to ruin the game.
  3. Disney/Marvel had an episode on their streaming service this week that was based on zombies. It all started when one person got a virus. https://disney.fandom.com/wiki/What_If..._Zombies!%3F And to think that I always thought that zombies were undead. Should we be meme-ing Disney right now because they are zombie-lore noobs? Are they right? Who'd be the expert on this subject?

    Keep getting kicked

    Does it give you an error code? Are you joining a modded server? Any additional information would help.

    The Awesome Vehicle Thread

    Yes, the best thing is to ignore the trolls. I only tried to reason because this site has no active moderation. The only moderation on these forums comes from developers. Sad. Trolls, Ad-spam and loads of unanswered questions linger for weeks.

    Nerfing Hidden Stashes

    I think Hidden Stash should be an item that has to be placed. This item could be made from tarp, animal fur, rope, and/or sticks. You then bury the item with a tool. The item would be too small for assault rifles and would only last (15) days. At the end of that time the items pop onto the ground. The item cannot be refreshed and digging it up destroys it. In my opinion the current hidden stash mechanic has room for improvement. The goal here is to make hidden stashes widely accessible, yet not cost-effective. It provides a unique option in a desperate situation but not worth it as a long term storage option at all. Like, if your squad wants to stash extra gear before an assault. Or something you use in an emergency. Maybe after your car achieves lift-off, but doesn't quite make it. You'll need a place to store gear for a short while. But definitely make stashes unappealing to hoarders as much as possible.

    The Awesome Vehicle Thread

    Nothing has changed, fundamentally, in between the time that these posts were made. Why the complete reversal?? At one point, you were on the side of players who were looking for improvements. What happened? You made some decent contributions to the conversation, but now that you have come back to the forums after a hiatus, all you do is troll people with obvious nonsense. We need quality posters to help promote your favorite game.

    There was no name-calling. I never attacked you, only your ridiculous posts. Please take your slander somewhere else.

    What part of it is contentious? It's universally accepted, except by you, who wishes to make absurd troll posts.

    The Awesome Vehicle Thread

    Troll post 100% They didn't implement cars server-side, which is the root cause of the issues, because they wanted an apocalyptic feel. They did it to fight hackers, which is supposed to be BattleEye's job, right. It's obvious you haven't studied any actual facts. You're just making up facts. You don't have the special inside information on bikes and planes.

    Changing ruined radiators at least once per road trip is required if you want the true apocalypse vibe.

    Chinese are a Problem. =/

    Yea. That's hilarious. YaY Communism!!!
  15. Parazight

    Chinese are a Problem. =/

    No way. The problem is far more widespread than a measly 15-18 people. This problem goes way, way beyond DayZ. Way beyond video games. Chinese hackers are in every corner of the world and it's well beyond the scope of Bohemia Interactive. Been going on for decades. The whole world knows this. Yes, it's endorsed by their government. Bohemia Interactive is not stopping the CCP.

    The UMP

    Those servers were actually persistence ON. They eventually addressed the issue. The AKS-74u is a shortened assault rifle or a carbine, depending on who you ask, it seems. WIKI will call it a carbine, but they're no authority. The point was that the 74u is about the same tier as the M16A2. It's not endgame. They're not Tier 4 zone weapons. It's a great comparison, when you consider rarity.

    1.14 coming soon.

    Remember when they posted a pic of the M16A2 muzzle and there was a chicken coop in the background? People thought this could be a sign that bows were coming back. That's what this thread reminds me of.

    1.14 coming soon.

    Looks like we might be able to write on tourist maps.

    The UMP

    No way. It's not hard to find assault rifles on Official servers. Top tier weapons, that are buried, don't count against respawn values. Find a chopper crash or plan looting accordingly. It is definitely not hard to get an assault rifle, especially when I group up with friends. M16A2 and AK47u both spawn all over. Easy to find. It will be literally hours before I get an AR after respawn. Hoarders are non issues. Raid their base or just farm loot. 'CLE' is archaic terminology. Referring to it doesn't help make points. The CE controls more than just loot.

    The UMP

    Who cares. As Gews said, the balancing is in the spawn system. UMP45 and MP5K are basically the same firearm. It's a small damage difference and it's really not that important. Your tactics, nearby infected, ammo rarity, location, goals/targets, and what handgun you're using are more important factors in DayZ. More important than the small damage difference between those two submachine guns. I would never choose the mp5k or the ump45 over a real assault rifle anyway. A player will pick up either one if they have nothing. How long will it be before you find a real assault rifle anyway? It doesn't seem practical (or possible, really) to analyze and compare the two in a vacuum. If you're going up against players then you don't want to be debating which submachine gun you're going to use. You get what you can take and then work towards and optimal load-out (assault rifle), right?

    DayZ Update 1.13

    Diseases are very manageable. You might be doing something wrong. Official servers are up and running. Server lists working fine here.

    Thoughts/Suggestions for Game Updates

    Pass. There is no ownership. Lore-wise, that would imply a society with enforced laws. There has to be offline raiding. If you don't like it then pick a different (private) server to play on. Don't put so much value into your loot. It's easily replaceable. As someone who has lost everything due to offline raiding many times, I can comfortably say that removing offline raiding is a huge mistake. We don't want severely congested PVE servers for DayZ. Would be nice. It's not hard to see why someone would want to curb offline raiding. The options we have are far from ideal. The standard wall, on flat ground, with full metal and barb wire is no obstacle. Drive your M3S up to it and just jump over. Or bring a canopy tent and a car. Set the tent up next to the wall, then drive car up to the canopy tent. Jump on the car, then the tent, then over the wall. Or how about this one: JUST BRING ONE SLEDGEHAMMER. You can destroy an infinite amount of walls right now because a ruined sledgehammer is still usable. It takes one ruined sledgehammer and 40 minutes to get through any wall without wire. Work your crafting all the way to the right! It will only take you an hour to crack 4-combo locks!!! It's not unreasonable to suggest changes because issues DO exist. Some solutions are not productive, however.

    This would be great. Although, I bet it would be used to grief specific people.

    The Awesome Vehicle Thread

    Is it really an issue? Maybe the solution is to drive slower. I would never drive that fast, in real life, with my car.

    I like your third test where the vehicle does a gold-medal barrel roll and lands perfectly. Maybe they should put a sign on the road. >.>
