I fail to see how 5-10 unarmed aerial vehicles would have any kind of battle over anything... What are you gonna mount a .50 cal on a crop duster? Get real. Btw, let me quote myself rq for ya. "make the choppers able to be customized and make the gun mounts really rare" So much for that comprehension you were talking about, eh? I even made it big for you this time.

and they just run through doors and walls. They hit you from outside of buildings and even from 100m away. They see and chase you from hundreds of meters and aggro you, even if you're in a building. They are so broken right now, it's totally pointless to add anything to them at this point. It would make the game nearly unplayable and completely untestable.

Clearly you didn't understand. A MIX OF 5-10. That means 5-10 total of BOTH. And everyone should have a chance to have one, given they spend the time. There shouldn't be a set amount so 10 people can have one and nobody else ever gets to fkn play. That's stupid and a waste of development time. Please L2read

So, since I searched Hordes and the only topics are from last year, I'll post here. I hear this is going to take place next patch. I've tried looking it up but can only find the video of what it looks like, no real info. Does anyone know if this is legit? And if it is, prepare for the game to totally break. Now instead of 1 or 2 zombies following you through closed doors, walls, floors and hitting you behind walls, buildings, behind the zombie, from 100m away etc. etc. etc. There's going to be 30-40 at a time. I'm pretty sure next patch would be a pretty terrible time to implement this, given the above reasons, which is why I'm skeptical of it actually being true that it will be in the next patch. Anyone that can confirm or deny, a link would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Thanks for the link

Then pay for your own server and you won't have a problem with the way people who DID pay for their own run THEIR OWN SERVER. Simple. This doesn't affect me ever, I just don't go on those servers. No sense in complaining when there's like 10,000 real public servers to the maybe 10 that will kick you out. Just go somewhere else... 75% is not even close.

Having read your replies to my comments, I do not believe you have a solid grasp on the English language... That or you're reading into something that's not there and that I certainly did not say.

Yeah, because that's what video games are for... only being able to do what you can actually do in real life... Great logic.

Who said anything about decked out military choppers? Certainly not me. I said whatever they implement, everyone should have access to or it's a waste. If Bear Grylls simulator is what they had in mind, I highly doubt there would be any decked out military choppers in the first place. I fail to see a point here.

None of the ones I play on... Do explain.

Because there will be X items across Y servers. If server A doesn't have what you need, you'll have to go to server B and bring it back. If server B doesn't have it, you'll have to go to server C. That's called server hopping.

That's funny, because in the future you're going to have to server hop for non-common items because there will only be X amount spread across Y servers... Be sure to tell the devs what you think of them.

Why does everyone care what they do with their servers? They pay for it, not you. If you don't like it, play somewhere else or start dolling out some cash. There are plenty of public servers for use, if you're not going to contribute then I suggest you stop complaining that someone is using something THEY PAID FOR in a way that makes you butthurt and join a different server.

Why waste an entire quarter and most likely well beyond that as well, on implementing something that 5 people out of 3 million are going to be able to use. Either make them common enough to be fair and not a complete waste of development, or just don't do it at all. I really don't understand why anyone would waste months of development time for something 99% of players won't get to use... Also, something breaking your immersion is not a valid excuse to scrap something from development. Just because some people can't tell the difference between a video game and real life doesn't mean things that most people want should be scrapped so a couple BKs on the forums can have their Bear Grylls simulator. Go play the long dark if you want that kind of crap. This game is about surviving a zombie infested ruin of society, not being the next Tom Hanks in Castaway.

Honestly, I don't usually fire my guns enough to notice... Maybe a few shot here and there when there's like 6 zombies or maybe another player or something. Randomly I'll just spray a few magazines off into the distance for fun, cuz I usually conserve too much ammo to ever run out cuz I'm constantly searching for room. But yeah, I've never even noticed that they degrade now. I've only notice that the suppressors degrade over time, but I've never actually had one change more than one condition and I've fired a good many shots as I use suppressors usually on my zombie weapons, non-melee. Also, things to make garden plots shouldn't ruin. I've been using the same gardening tools for YEARS with little to no maintenance IRL and they still work just fine... In game you make 4 plots and your shits ruined already.

Who cares if the admin isn't a legit player? He pays for the server, not you. It's more important that the overwhelming majority of non-douchebag admins aren't helpless against the thousands and thousands of cheaters out there. Worrying over maybe 10 servers because their admins are jokes isn't really a valid reason to make such a decision.

Admins should be able to spectate whoever the hell they want. That's why they are admins. In other games, if you're suspected of cheating you get spectated. If you're suspected of exploiting bugs, you get spectated. If you're suspected of doing something you're not supposed to, you get spectated. I would rather have an admin able to spectate, kick and ban A-holes than have a server full of A-holes, because the admins can't do shit about it.

I see no reason why there shouldn't be a mix of 5-10 total civilian choppers and duster type civilian planes per server. They've already made it so it takes an extra hour to run the map, on top of the 30 minutes it usually takes because of frequent food/loot stops from getting hungry and thirsty every 4-5 minutes, at MOST. Which is completely ridiculous to begin with. But it's only gonna get worse once stamina is implemented and such. It's also really stupid to be so rare that you barely ever see them working, just don't fkn add them at all at that point, it's just silly. Adding something that 99% of players will never get to use both unfair and is completely pointless and a waste of development time. Armed choppers though, should be more rare.. Maybe 1 or 2 per server... Or make the choppers able to be customized and make the gun mounts really rare instead.

I suppose that applies to both of us.

The sight on it works just fine for me, although the quality of it does just seem to be the standard 1st person zoom with a crosshair pasted on top lol

Mags, not at all. The gun, still haven't found one. Press vests are usually around in hospitals

Well, a server crash doesn't involve the exit button, so I think when joining THE SAME server it should be delayed by 5-10 minutes. Any other server, you should be able to join right in. So unless you are the person logging out and trying to log back in, this doesn't affect you. You shouldn't have to be disadvantaged by having to take time to run hundreds of meters away just because someone else fired a gun. That's just nonsense, especially with the amount of gunfire in this game. How would that stop bows? How would that stop the guy who just got punched and ran into a building to log? Or the guy who's losing a fight trying to do the same? How does that stop someone getting rolled up on by a group from logging? How does that stop the guy who just watched you roll up in a truck and hold up in a building? Simply a yawn sound, for about 20m would let you know someone was there and might come back soon. But I think restricting joining the same server after using the exit button for a specific time might be easiest.

In terms of DayZ FUNCTION ONLY, the MP5k is just a fully automatic version of the CR75. Also, I found an MP5 and about 6 mags in a single day. I still find mags in police stations all over. They're not that hard to find I don't think, maybe I'm just lucky?

.45ACP is the most powerful handgun cartridge you can get in this game. I've dropped a fully decked out character, vest and all with one single round.

Yeah, Dayz is definitely Multiplayer Online... But I wouldn't go as far as to call it Massive.25-50 man servers, massive? I think not.
