yeah, the rumor was at green mountain

ask in the server forum

I've seen it happen when a server is full or near full. no loot and sometimes no zombies. there's usually other symptoms, like random lag, and it taking a long time to pick up items. I think it may mean they need to reset the server, or the server just can't take the load of that many players

yes, but it's not so simple to just add features that will make a great game. and there's already plenty of competition in that type of game they've stumbled upon this success with a sandbox that's pretty much 100% 'emergent gameplay'. if they can polish it up a little, they'll have a sure winner. getting into the business of creating 'missions' and 'quests' is another animal

at some point this game strives to be a stand-alone commercial product. at that point there will be reviews and such. they don't want those reviews to say, "DayZ is a great game, but PvE servers are boring and don't offer enough content... 7.5" that's the issue as the game is now. for PvE you need something to do. because to just 'survive' all you need is a water bottle, matches, an ax, and a hunting knife. what's to do after that? stockpile food and drink, and sit around the camp fire? there's no incentive to even deal with the zombies after you get the basics they need to keep the game focused on what draws people to the game. and that is all these emotions that come from the PvP environment. where you're never safe, not matter what gear you have

it would water down the focus of the game. and if the non-pvp option wasn't up to par, it could hurt the game as a whole

they always wanna run up to me and say something stupid. it's usually a dead giveaway since legit players are seldom that brave/stupid

you have a choice. it's the choice to play a different game

I try not to think about it if I don't have real proof

if you have it on steam, make sure you run Arma 2 and Arma2 OA once (you have to do this again if you reinstall)

it's a big world out there. you can always make your own game if you don't like this one

you might want to contact them anyway

I doubt norton would catch it anyway, you need to contact battleye http://www.battleye.com/support.html

I make a similar argument when people try to say a certain video-game is "violent". is chess "violent"? what do you think is going on when you 'take' someone's piece in chess? it's just a game. in real life I consider myself a pacifist. in DayZ I'll shoot you for your bandage

yep. I've already lost a few servers that I had tents and the locations of people's tents/vehicles I think servers being full would be a problem as well. it's not bad now because you can go somewhere else if your normal server is full. but if everyone was committed to a single server, it would be less flexible, and I think many times you'd be stuck waiting for someone to leave and honestly it might get boring playing with the same people all the time. the way it is now offers a lot of unpredictability

pretty much what I was thinking I assume most AS50's are hacked and/or duped. the gun is rare, but more importantly is how rare the ammo is (at only 5 rounds each)

what are you basing this on?

they 'jumped down your throat' because you said there was some kind of inherent connection between torrents and viruses. and pretty much insinuated people were stupid for using them edit: specifically this post:

players, camps, or vehicles

no, I think we know what he's trying to say. he's not the first one to say it, and won't be the last DayZ without PvP is not DayZ. it's some other game. and at the moment, it would honestly be a very boring game

the same thing happened to me. it was like a perfect example of Murphy's Law. I found a new pack, and picked it up, hoping to transfer the stuff after. but my old pack disappeared, with my morphine in it. went around the corner, bang, zombie breaks my leg. I actually managed to survive, but I was nowhere near a hospital or chance military spawn. luckily I had a tent with me. I put the tent behind this house. it wasn't the best spot, but I figured no one would find it in the time it took for me to die and run back. it all worked out, and I got back to my stuff, but the lesson was always put your stuff in the new pack before dropping your old pack

"bob wire" :lol:

find a server that's constantly kicking/banning people
