BigHoss ‏@BigHoss_ 2h @rocket2guns Any word on respawning loot? How long til we see it implemented? Reply Retweet Favorite More Expand Dean Hall ‏@rocket2guns 2h @BigHoss_ I was supposed to be doing that this week, however this has taken up all the time supposed to be for that

I think sleeping bags are an essential part of survival equipment, you just gotta find the right game mechanics to justify it.

Even modern ammunition is affected by gravity. Instead of calling it bullet drop, think of it as a ballistic curve instead, this way you don't get surprised, when you overshoot targets, who are closer than they appear.

I love it, this game certainly need more guns, without 60 round magazines. FARGIN ‏@FARGlN 15h@ctorchia Double rifle. But please allow it to be a combined shutgun/rifle. weapons mod = 2nd rifle inlay for upper barrel. Please consider! Chris Torchia ‏@ctorchia 14h@FARGlN I wanted that but alas, it could not be done right without support from programmers and they have bigger fish to fry... Chris Torchia ‏@ctorchia 4hBy the way - you can fire both barrels at the same time on the double rifle (press T to switch to beast mode). #dayz Expand

I can agree with beards or scars, but as already said, survival is good enough. I think the individual player must discover their own purpose in the game, whether it's for good or bad or just plain one day at the time.

Although these features doesn't appeal to me, I think it's important that we appeal to bandits, so they can kill and humiliate their hostages in as many creative ways as possible. I think all items should have at least two functions, one for survival purposes and one for more unkind purposes.

"like a screen door in a hurricane"

So you think it's cool to rent a public server, connected to the public Hive, so you can farm loot in perfect safety, because you've set up the server to kick everyone but you and your buddy and then, when you're geared up, you server hop to a 40/40 server and kill n00bs at the beach. How is that not pay2win?

Already tested and already dismissed.

Yeah that must be it... Where does it leave you, if you're definitely not a KOS scrub COD deuce, you must think it's okay to disconnect to survive, you think it's a survival feature, to alt-f4 and hide offline if you take fire?

Player interactions is the driving force of DayZ, sure zombies could do with some improvement, but game mechanics will never ever be as complex and interesting as dealing with other players and this being a survival game, it's frustrating the player base, when they witness players escape death, being rewarded by disconnecting from the game. I understand it's not a big deal for you, because you can afford a mule account, to carry your gear or use as a second life, if you lose a firefight, but to the rest of us, it's a pretty big deal.

[edit] misspelled GSP Hi mods, I've seen the green box on top of the forums, so this is more of a query, than a complaint(well it's probably a complaint dressed up in a query wig). I noticed this topic on reddit about a player trying to report a kicking server to it's GSP, only to be told by the GSP that kicking players wasn't against the terms of service. Wouldn't mind some clarification on the subject.

^^Already been tried and tested and according to Rocket it failed. I recommend that you find your safe log out site and then wait for 30 seconds, to secure the site, but also to make sure the Hive has updated and saved your log out location.

No apparent reason is still a good enough reason for a lot of people.

I can help you, join my server and shout very loud over direct chat.

Wont happen, would conflict with the persistent nature of DayZ. Since saline has been fixed/nerfed, blood is more valuable. And knowing your blood type is therefor also more valuable. Which makes your current, but fragile life more valuable.

You okay with that, paying for safe loot, so you can used it on 40/40 servers?

It's pretty easy and takes no time to report a server. First time might take a little longer, but once you've reported one, it takes about 2 minutes. The GSP simply reads your report, check the server logs for the insta-kicking code and takes the server down. You really think it's okay to rent a public server, connected to the public Hive, so you can password it, loot it, restart it, loot it and then switch to another public server and use all that gear, you farmed with zero risk? How is that not pay2win? The GPS can check the server logs or locate the code in the server config. To sum it up. Report the server's name and IP to one of the five Game Server Providers. Multiplay: support@multiplay.co.uk Vilayer: abuse@vilayer.com Fragnet: abuse@fragnet.net GamingDeluxe: admin@gamingdeluxe.co.uk Gameservers: support@gameservers.com If it's unclear which provider, send them to all five.

I'm part of a community, their servers(not DayZ) are open on public nights. If you want a slot, you better be on time. We don't kick for admins, members, we only ask a player to leave, if a player lots connection and the server filled, while he tried to rejoin. If you kick people for friends and members, the server isn't public and if the server is connected to the public hive, it is by definition public.

First, What's up with the unique snowflake fonts? This has nothing to do with 3PP, you can still look down a hallway from a doorway in 1PP with your finger on the escape button, ready to engage, anyone who comes close, while you're trying to combat log in 30 seconds.

The beaches are full of bandits, who though running about yelling "Friendly, friendly!" made them immune to bullets and axes. After repeating their dangerously stupid behavior over and over, they concluded that everyone else were KOS bandits and decided to become a KOS bandit themselves. Other friendly players decided to draw another conclusion and realized that if you come too close to other players, annoy other players and scare other players, you might just find yourself respawning on the beach. You don't have to stop being friendly. But you have to stop being a liability to other players.

And this is why we can't have good things, people will always exploit the shit out of everything lol. :emptycan:

There will always be people jumping servers. These guys will continue to do so, because for them it's not about the game, it's only about the gear. This will not stop them, from farming servers like locust and then switching to another, but it will inconvenience them and that's good enough for me. Most people don't want to create two accounts, so they can have a farm character and a global bank character, this is not WarZ after all, but while combat logging and server hopping isn't your biggest concern, it sure is for legitimate players.
