Because this is a video game nothing will change, the only thing you will have are private shards where everyone can RP a reputation of themselves and play hero or bandit. People will still yell "friendly" only to shoot you in the back once you let your guard down. Other than taking the game mechanics away that allow this behavior you will most likely be stuck to private shards if it is a deal breaker.

Tanks, Helicopters and F-16's are more important than cereal right now. Some day in the future as you are lauching heat-seekers with one hand you will have a glorius bowl of cereal in the other hand.

Every sense of the phrase.

Entitlement.

Yeah, stop abusing those zombie mechanics. Our characters make marathon runners look stupid for even trying, no one is abusing the run speed mechanics by running for miles and miles without stopping to catch their breath every few minutes right?

I have played both 1pp and 3pp on DayZ, neither one is easier or harder than the other. Just play which one you want to play, Given the option there are no right or wrong answers. An open world sandbox type game is best enjoyed in 3pp for myself. If this was a standard map FPS only game I would probably play in 1pp.

I didn't realize how serious this topic was, I am having my tombstone re-quoted today.

I always thought it was a good idea to have a very low but audible noise for when someone joined the server. They could be near you, they could be on the other side of the map. It is up to you to be more cautious with that information. Though a nearby noise wouldn't stop server hopping by any means it would make the hopper have to find a location where most likely no one would be before they logged out and back in. It would definitely give the player currently in the area a better chance to come out the victor.

No, I don't feel like I was reaching with my comment. If I was wrong, then I'm wrong. I still think the person who owns the server wasn't worth the time it took to post.

I think the server owner got exactly what he wanted here. Bringing it to the forums and airing it out shows to me that this struck a nerve. If I was trolling for a reaction this was exactly the reaction I would look for.

I have not personally done so, but I did help make a video with my buddy to submit of a server who was basically just a Clan farm server and kicked anyone who tried to join. That was 3-4 weeks ago, the video showed him and myself being kicked about 20 or so times in a 3 day period and that our pings were low and it was not a battle-eye kick. The server is still running, and I join and get kicked almost daily just to see. So unless my buddy was no longer angry that he lost all of his gear and lied to me, it seems like they aren't doing anything. It could also be a long and tedious process to punish offenders. It sux, but take the loss in stride and stay away from those servers.

... I just found another half buried heli that was looted of anything good, there were items (pants and glasses) on the ground around the heli that no one wanted. This is what I was expecting to find. I was simply asking if these sites have a chance to spawn no loot.

No heli there before the restart, once the server restarted it was there but no loot.

Also strange then, there was plenty of loot in Zele military base and in the city itself. Just nothing on the heli's.

Yeah I suppose, the person or people must be lightning fast. I was only 30 seconds from the first site and I spawned back in the second time with the site in view. I can't imagine they had any time at all to loot (everything) and get 200m away to the tree line. The server had just restarted both times, they must have some incredible luck.
