People wouldn't kill each other in a zombie apocalypse. No way. People kill each other in dayz because they can't do it in real life. It's a sandbox with other people and ways to kill them. And there's no real consequence for killing another player. In fact, it's encouraged. It's encouraged because the sole focus of the game is to loot things and players are the absolute best source for good loot. Your only option is to find a community server with active administration. good luck.

CLOWN MASKS ARE ESSENTIAL FOR SURVIVAL!!!!!

Some people simply don’t watch the streams. Can you please reply here or have your brand managers visit the site and reply? For years we’ve been having many discussions related to performance. Please ask your PR people to respond on the official forums. Why are these topics not simple to reply to? That makes no sense. The information is not that difficult to convey. Just be honest.

He’s not playing dumb. Your posts aren’t fleshed out. Your ideas are bad and you seem to have issues with following the conversation. Try using examples that make sense. Your writing skills are bad and you resort to name calling instead of debating.

Yea. And there’s no reason why BI can’t figure out a way to make administering servers profitable. Blizzard adopted that philosophy and look, servers are the Collins’s flywheel that keeps profit momentum. NOT providing admins isn’t even neutral. It’s actively working against your own product. Being an admin is a full time job, sure. Get someone in that position to make some profits. Yes. The PR is bad. Whose turn is it to be the brand manager now? Whose making pointless videos now?

Great post. Everyone should agree that endorsing a gaming server with no administration is a terrible choice. With the amount of cyber criminal behavior in the world today it’s plainly obvious that not having admins for a pvp game is a mistake and opens the floodgates for cheaters. Then again, we can see that poor design decisions were made from the beginning indicating they had no serious intentions of making a modders game, that have active admin. Instead, just a lawless console servers griefing simulator.

I don't see that at all. Plenty of people have been able to survive and enjoy the game just fine. There are plenty of resources available online as well. I would say that very few people actually need the direct help of others. Having introduced DayZ to a number of people, I can say that just giving advice over Discord is plenty. In-game tracking in the vanilla product is wholly unnecessary, imo.

Great idea for mods. Terrible for base game.

No. They didn’t remove anything. They started over and readded a bunch of stuff but they never removed anything. ‘Gun play’? Wtf is that. Why can’t you be specific? No one is ever going to take this incredibly broad answer seriously. How could you?

Sure it is. Console users can create as many accounts as they want. FOR FREE.

No. Playing with a group of people doesn’t automatically mean you need a base. It has nothing to do with play style or some other BS. Assuming someone plays alone because they don’t prefer base building is laughable. Also, keeping valuable loot in your base and not hidden is not a good idea. Get a second account like real pros.

Basebuilding is dumb. Suddenly houses are vacant everywhere and the logical thing is to build a BRAND NEW STRUCTURE. Dumb. Can’t fortify existing houses. Dumb. Can’t build in towns unless you look up an online map to find where the toxic bombs drop. Not authentic. Everything about base building is half assed. Yea lets scrap it all.

Vehicles taking damage seems like the only authentic solution here. A vehicle should protect you from a bear until it is ruined. What about taking out a horde of infected with a makarov, single loading, and standing safely on top of a hesco barrier? What about that gross abuse? (have them drop grenades)

All good questions. Let’s see if we get an official response. I would be most interested in hearing an explanation as to why there are no admin here, or on the servers. I would love to hear the rationale behind many of their decisions.

Hating on some nobody streamer, for no reason, makes about as much sense as bringing ban appeals to this website to begin with.

Or maybe because they don’t understand that you post suggestions in the correct sub forum. Apparently dumping a bunch of half cooked suggestions all in the same post, in someone else’s thread, in the wrong forum, is okay.

Why is it that Asmondian threads always attract brand new users who have gigantic lists of suggestions? You guys realize that the skeleton crew available isn’t going to ever finish the dozens of years of work these suggestions would take, right? Why are your cronies posting here and not starting their own threads?

I can't believe this has never been suggested before.

I’d like to take this time to present evidence how the lore is unimportant to BI. Let’s consider the toxic bombings. So, the virus that causes a person to become infected has run its course. Those who are magically immune have survived it. Those who won’t have already turned. It’s clear whether or not someone will survive it by now. It is beyond human logic to assume that the virus hasn’t totally spread outside of chernarus. Real life has recently shown us that quarantining the population is worthless vs a pandemic. So where are these bombs coming from? BI doesn’t know OR CARE. It’s just a mechanic that was put in because it seemed like it fit the game. Lore is merely an afterthought. It’s not important because it doesn’t add any value for the consumer. Bandit masks. Just another toy for griefers to play with. If we’re lucky we’ll get some retconned lore to try and explain it. Lore is an afterthought. It’s just a silly way to make the product look shiny.

A dog can’t poop if he won’t eat.

This idea has been shot down dozens of times now. Like maybe learn how to use the search function if you’re going to post every thought that comes to you. I do have to admit, no one else has doubled down on the absurdity and asked for a 24 hour wait period. So, kudos to you for raising the bar.

I don’t find that to be true. Your post was well written and clear. But the idea was bad. We don’t need map changes.

The suggestion to replace the dev team at the end of the video is absurd. There's a lot of money at stake and people can just do whatever. It's a shame that there's no effective systems in place to mitigate cyber criminal behavior. The problem is obviously way beyond Battleye and they're not held accountable. I guess the lesson here is to expect cheaters if you buy DayZ.

I wanted to highlight what I thought was the most important part of the original post and actually comment on that. DayZ can't stand on its own. Mods, communities, and active admins is why the game works. There are plenty of options to keep the game interesting. You should know how important mods are. Having unlimited metagames, mods, and choices is what keeps the endgame interesting and active. The other three points of yours that aren't about endgame seem rather trivial and subjective to me. I think both maps could use some improvements, as needed, when technical issues arrive. Polish up certain areas. But let's not change the narrative here. Honestly, it sounds like you're bored. Break out of your own paradigm. Maybe take a break.

Exactly! This is why lore isn't important. It's just a sandbox. The original vision was based on people interactions. Personally, I pick the servers I play on based on who I'm playing with, not lore. The people I play with, like my kids, don't care about lore. It's always been about hanging out with friends in discord or meeting randoms. Who you are with, not where you are. Back in the day, before cheaters were rampant, it was about meeting people from around the world at the Solnichny coastline. Years after full release and now create backstory? Seems fake. This is DayZ. This is your story. It says so right on the front page.
