Hillbilly (DayZ)

Why do you think its because they want to seem epic? Its just simpler to use. Hell when I say sniper in games like COD its usually with a lot of rage instead of respect. Its a simple way of communicating a role for each person. The military don't use it to feel epic. I'm not saying players are soldiers, but those who would likely say squad or team isn't doing it to act like their Delta Force.

Using military terminologies is a accurate and easy way of showing what roles people on your squad fulfill. You won't call your sniper "that dude who can shoot really well." Just saying sniper or medic is easier. Its not like anyone is roleplaying as military, but using military terminology can be simpler and more familiar for a lot of people.

Yeah I remember hearing about Day Z from another guy on a separate forum. So I eventually bought it like a week later. The videos at first showed Day Z as a game where there are some PKers, but people generally will work together. Now when I get it que me being forced to kill everything that movies because I'm always getting shot at. Even when I first played the game the zombies I could deal with. The damn killers everywhere were a nuisance.

Yeah me and a small group of guys are pretty excited about this and are planning on getting the Alpha the second its available. I will definitely complain as much as possible about every thing I find wrong about it. :)

That too :D I just can't be bothered to try and remember the exact day that shit happened on the server so I can't get the script logs personally.

So you want me to provide the scripts from a hack months ago using shit from hfbservers that was updated multiple times? Do you know how difficult it can be sometimes to catch simple shit? Hell even if the info was still somehow there I'm not sure what month it happened in. All I know is experiencing getting bombed to fucking hell. I'm giving you anecdotal evidence. Don't worry the next time I get bombed I'll make sure I'll save it for you.

You've never been airstriked in Day Z before have you? There doesn't need to be any planes at all. A script kiddie will just drop bombs on you form out of no where. It happened to me and my friends when we were playing. We know it happened due to the scripts.

Oh please get over it. The main reason why this game can be enjoyable and adrenaline pumping is because you are attached to your gear and you want to keep it. Guess what happens when someone with a Coyote backpack, NV gogles, L85, GPS and all the other goodies meets another player randomly? They shit their pants because they don't want to lose their gear.. When you have something you like and risk losing it shit gets so much more fun and even terrifying.

Maybe have a way to disable or enable sidechat client side. Edit: Either that or radios need to get in the game.

Well Green mountain is a bit dangerous for me, but I can still make it up there with the necessary supplies. I'm not looking to team up, but I can still help out.

I know a guy who was camping out Electro. He was finding bandits who were camping and killing players so he sniped the bandits. Eventually he was running out of food and water so he killed a survivor for supplies. The point is that you can find bandits without finding the heartbeats.

All bandits do is piss off survivors. Seriously that is all they do. I don't really mind killing player killers or anyone who is a threat.

I hope you realize that when you put on a camo or ghillie the zombie kill count resets until you disconnect from the game. You would know that if you ever had a ghillie or camo.

On the server I play on a lot we got a couple of disconnecters banned. Of course in that situation you need the server admin to help out. Plus if the server admin bans the asshole its not like they can argue against it since they were disconnecting.

Please no one gives a shit about bronies and if you are on the internet long enough that you have a huge hatred for bronies just leave. You are just as bad as people who use the word carebear a thousand times a day. Now OP just get off this thread. I mean that in a helpful way. You told us about why you cheat and hacked and you apologized for it. Okay if you truly mean that and won't do it again then good on you. People can change and for anyone who don't believe that take fucking psy 101 then come back to me about it. I don't like hackers but if you truly regret your actions don't do it again.

Wow I guess your right then. I thought this was purely for entertainment instead of enjoyment. I guess I forgot that everyone who post gameplay videos believe they are a pro. My mistake then.

Okay the video was freaking hilarious. It doesn't show good teamwork, but I seriously doubt that was the point of the video. Seriously guys he knows that this was chaotic and he has much to learn. No point in repeating constantly what he already knows. You could help out if you want, but try your best not to be elitist assholes. I know its difficult, but at least be civil. Anyway I bet you are doing better after that hilarious cluster fuck.

Instead of taking it out of the game just add some limits. -Make Helicopter crashes more random -Add batteries -Stop fucking duping -Make the weapon rarer The weapon isn't too common. Its the fact that after awhile it will accumulate due to duping and people server hoping to find crash sites. Even then the gun isn't even that common. Me and my group only found 2 L85s after months of play. We even look for chopper crashes and it isn't that damn easy to find. There are ways to prevent accumulation but that is about it.

yet you recomend loging of to let the loot respawn. its the same shit. your just hoping onto the same server... If you read his posts he basically moves around the map grabbing all the loot in one place and dropping it offf somewhere else. Either that or he fortifies one area so that he and his buddies can set up base camp so they can loot farm. Technically he is using fortifications in a far more legitimate way than they are used now. I haven't seen him state that he actually log out then come back in. I don't even think you can do it like that.

I think all methods of fortifications should be taken out for now. Griefing is simply too much at this point.

I said it was very risky to do this for anyone how did you figure I was talking just about myself? If you loot farm in high risk places it is extremely risky making me rather wary of doing it. It is simply a risky exploit that I might end up getting something rare after a few hours of doing it. I would get better loot from choppers or killing other players.

While this is far less of an exploit on the level of simply duping or disconnecting in pvp. It may technically be called an exploit. Although I would like for some actual input from someone on the Day Z team so we have some idea if they will attempt to fix this. I haven't been on these forums much so I don't know how much this has been talked about on here. I would think it would be preferable to find a way to prevent this. Right now its literally a game mechanic that isn't technically ruining the game and so far (for me) it seems to be extremely risky for a bunch of weapons you likely already have. It should still be fixed anyway, but I wouldn't ban for it. Even if you do this at NWA I highly doubt you will get a crap load of NVGs. The way the loot spawns it just won't happen.

Even with all the complaints about this being an exploit and arguing about it. Did anyone even bother to attempt to report it? I was expecting to see some Day Z dev post in here to explain rather this is an exploit or not, but didn't find anything. Its far better to ask people on the Day Z team about this. It helps them fix the loot system and also it can warn people about rather this is a bannable offense or not.

Its funny how most people ignored the OP when he said "Post if you support this", but either way I think what most people are forgetting is that when you get used to the game even before the patch you wouldn't do to bad since you are used to the rarity and the damn glitches. Now unfortunately since you have no weapon in the beginning zombies are far more annoying since they spawn inside barns which simply isn't working out. You can't sneak around those zombies. Zombies hitting you through walls will always be annoying as hell. Then when you do find a gun and wipe out all the zombies in a town guess what happens next. They spawn in again making it so you wasted your ammo for very little reasons. The game at this point would be good if the player had some sort of ability to maybe push the zombies away from you if they get to close. It would be risky, but in a life or death situation you will do everything you can to survive instead of sitting there while zombies are eating your face off. To sum it up this game needs to iron out the bugs or at least give a starting player something to defend themself. A gun isn't necessary at the start.
