dunno, seems way too casual for me even with all the looting and stuff. Firefights are way too easy even 1v5 and you can pretty much avoid everything with corner peeking. Maybe in the future.

no permadeath doesn't make you immortal so you still have to survive. Only KOS kids cannot ruin the RP for those that want to RP.

If they are gonna make different hives for FPS and 3rd person view then surely they can make a separate hive for RP mode. And if they do not separate hives then how is looting in a 3rd person view server ignoring all threats thanks to corner peeking and then going to a FPS server any different from doing the same with RP servers. And you can still die in a RP server and maybe lose the very item you came there to loot. There is no reason for this to not be a gamemode as it does not affect others who do not like it.

Yeah, I will most likely look into private hives and run if possible on public servers. But why not give a server option which has exactly the same effect without the hassle of setting up your own hive for every server or group of servers.

MOBA comparison is a straw man. Respawning with some of your gear broken and some of it dropped is nowhere near a drastic change. DayZ mod having servers that spawn you with gear or respawning with gear proves that people want it. Outright refusing to put in a server option that doesn't affect others in absolutely any way is illogical. And people would bother to hunt, avoid zombies and avoid other players for the very reason that it is a RP mode filled with players who are RPers. That is the very reason for the server mode. And when some KOS kid jumps on the server and ruins the RP then the penalty for it being a game and letting a non-RPer ruin an RPers game won't be that great thanks to non-permadeath.

And that is why it should be a server option so those that do want to play it (just like those who wanted to play DayZ instead of Arma2) can do so. Even if they do not add such an option, when the full game is released there will surely be mods that do this so why not just make it easier. And it will not drastically change the DayZ formula. You still have to hunt, avoid zombies and avoid other players. Non-permadeath doesn't mean you are immortal. And again, it doesn't affect those who do not like it in any way so why not put it in.

FAL of course and an AK101 which will most likely be in the game. Maybe give camo variations to them. Would be cool if you could choose your own camo or pain them with proper items.

1pp players play on 3pp servers because it is easy to abuse the corner peeking and 1pp servers are not very populated. A lot of 3pp players would play in 1pp servers if they had to because of the very same reason. So no, it is not.

Easy, you drop some gear like most mmos for an instance. You are fully geared and when you die, you drop lets say 2 or 3 items randomly. Then you spawn without those items. Maybe better items have a higher chance of dropping, etc. Same with gear damage: Everything might remain the same or after each death it goes down a step in quality. It is not that hard. People who are against it can just ignore the servers that have non-permadeath enabled. And classical servers will still be a majority so there is no problem.

For a lot of people, that is exactly roleplay is. And non-permadeath fixes the problem of no matter how realistic a game is, it is still a game. So frequent merciless KOS with zero consequences which wouldn't happen not even half as often in real life as it does in a game (because it is a game) would be somewhat fixed. Yeah, you will die and people can still KOS with zero consequences but you do not have to suffer just because it is a game.

Private hive would split the playerbase too much. It will only remove the initiative for RP players to try out classical servers and classical servers will lose out on potential players. I see no reason why this option shouldn't be in the game if it will not affect anybody in any way who does not like it. Or maybe something in between. Permadeath only when killed by zombies. When you get KOS then you will respawn with your gear or some of your gear, but if you get killed by zombies (that will be very deadly in future releases) then you will respawn with nothing. And again, it will not affect people who do not like it in any way.

But it won't be forced on you. There will just be a few servers and whoever likes it, can join it. You can still keep playing on classical servers that will surely be majority. Not allowing it because you think it will ruin the game (when it will not affect you in any way) is kind of selfish. I will try and ask Rocket about this on e-mail or twitter with my buddies. What he thinks about this and the reasoning. Edit: And the amount of new players this would bring would also be good. They would first come for non-permadeath and maybe discover that classical is better and go over to that. Everybody wins, including Rocket and BI. Why cut out potential buyers who could come in and integrate with the rest.

I guess Rocket should let it go too. On that note, why not add non-permadeath servers. Nothing is lost as people can still play on classical permadeath servers. Everybody wins.

And I do not understand why it is bad to "drive away" people who threaten to leave the game if 3pp is removed. This game is not for everyone and if it is meant to be a brutal survival game like they are trying to make it, then 1pp is a part of that. If it turns out that Rocket wants it to be FPS only and removes 3pp then I guess the game is not for you. Funny how when someone mentioned safezones he is said that this game is "hardcore and not cod" but when people suggest to remove the biggest cod-ish feature then the ones who cannot play without this big crutch scream bloody murder. 3PP literally makes fighting in this game easier than in BF and CoD and goes against everything that is supposed to be a survival game. 4th wall fix seems good as it still keeps the 3pp view for people who like it. Those who are against 4th wall or any other fix because "it messes with the seamless gameplay" or whatever just use excuses because they really do not want this to be fixed.

Another problem is that if he makes the decision too late all these new players will get attached to 3pp:on and all the 3pp:off servers will vanish again like the mod. It will turn into a joke of a "survival" game just like the mod. He should have just axed 3pp or fixed it before alpha release in my opinion. Bite the bullet and decide what game you want people to play. You cannot satisfy everyone as this game is not for everyone.

I like 1pp but I play on 3pp servers cause surviving till I am all geared up is so much easier and takes (compared to 1pp servers) zero effort. When I am geared up I go on a 1pp server. Hope they remove the 3pp entirely or separate hives.

There is no easy fix for 3PP cause it is inherently flawed. There is no such thing in real life. But I do like that in a hardcore survival game where you can have a blood-test and botch it up, you can have blood transfusions with an IV or force feed someone poison, there is a completely unrealistic arcade feature that some people defend because "they want to look at their character", in a hardcore survival game. It is a crutch that some people just cannot play without and that brings the collective down. Use the 4th wall, separate hives or remove 3pp. Camera zooming and positioning trickery will still leave you with a chance of seeing something you should never see. I usually play on 3pp when I need to gear up easily or for some easy KOS fun when bored . When I am geared up I go to a 1pp server for some thrill and tension.

Get out with this suspension of belief, emotions bullshit. Rocket needs to add casts and other stuff for broken legs. I only expect realism.

There is fuck all to do but PVP in this game and that is the most efficient way to be win at PVP. The maps is empty as fuck with the same villages and forests all over the place so even hiking and survival is boring. Zombies are not a threat in any way in their current form but just an annoyance. I hope when DayZ hits release ver1 it has things from crafting to underground bases filled with mutants. Will never happen because LOL REALISM so the many things that could make the game fun outside of PVPing will not be put in the game.

It's been known to happen. I don't know about you, but the way some ladies asses move, I can hardly keep my eyes off of them! Blokes asses... nah! Not for me thanks. No, the way you wrote is that you tell yourself not to look at men´s asses because you are straight. The fact that you mentioned not looking at men`s asses tells me you might be a little insecure or more. You are the kinda guy we shoot on sight in DayZ. Sorry, you are the weakest link.

Well they lied about server hopping, thats obvious The cuts in the "uncut" videos are suspicious.

I don`t need to convince myself that I am straight by staring at a virtual ass, in a game. Sorry.

I shoot females on sight. Females are the weakest link in an apocalypse and to preserve the strength of the community they either have to be locked away or killed. You cannot lock someone into a building in the mod so killing is what is left. Secondly, males who play as females are the second weakest link. Someone who plays female because of "they like to look at the characters ass instead of the surroundings" is dangerous to the well-being of a group and needs to be put down. Unless Rocket adds a way to restrain and lock women up so that they cannot doom the group with their illogical decision making and using gender as a leverage to get necessities over those who really need them, this will not change.
