Im not claiming it to be hackers. But it is hackers.

In my case, when it works, it works perfectly. But then most of the time it doesnt work at all. Its just purely random. We have boosted our mic voices all the way to maximum.

I love dusty weapons and old scratched military weapons. But I absolutely hate advanced military weapons like M4A1 SD, M16A2 M203 etc. Weapons with lots of attachments like holo sights, foregrips, grenade launchers and all useless stuff. They just throw the survival feeling out of the window.

If you are not a bandit, just dont shoot survivors. Humanity will regenerate over time when you're not a bandit. Otherwise you'll need to give other players blood transfusions.

This change seems very nice. Finally a way to recognize who to shoot and who to let go. And I dont think the players in the middle ground will get a bandit skin from a murder or two. And humanity also regenerates over time, at least it did so when bandit skins were in. So I dont think anyones ''role'' will be affected much.

Same Eastern-Europe stylish map but not Chernarus. Chernarus has already been explored and it would be nice to see other landscapes. A large map with lots of forests, a few major cities and many smaller towns. Also more points of interest like the Green Mountain etc. A big island accessible only by swimming or by boat with decent resources along side with other smaller islands would be nice. And lakes of course. People will surely get bored of Chernarus over time.

I sure hope dogs wont give a significant advantage over those who dont like dogs. I wouldnt like dog UAV's patrolling through every town and tracking where I am.

I can already see the future of DayZ where Hello Kitties are warring against rainbow clowns.

Why dont people like crosshairs? It doesnt give any advantage over iron sights. Its even off a bit if aiming somewhere close. (Except crossbows which no-one uses.) 3DP:ON CH:ON (I really dont care) Nameplates:OFF

Well still better than camo or civilian clothing. But without the baseball cap which is a huge downside. Not many games have mechanics that can hide you in the grass without rendering the grass itself. Only game I've seen to do so is Joint Operations and thats an old game.

You are hard to spot if the other player is near you. Easy to spot from a longer distance, especially by players who are exploiting by turning graphics lower. You look like a huge kebab lying in the hill.

I hate the color randomness of civilian clothing. And I dont want to wear camo clothing or a ghillie suit because I love that effin baseball cap.

DayZ is in pretty bad shape right now. I'd suggest waiting for further fixes and releases.

For fucks sake no. They are already raping too many games with childish shit.

M1911 because its badass and lots of ammo. Also powerful. AK-74 unmodded (there is no AK-47 in the mod) because ammo is well available, its an original badass weapon, fits in the survival theme and attachments are for pussies. CZ550 because other sniper rifles are pretty high-tec and should be carried by Special Forces soldiers only.

-Screen tearing/artifacts Will get fixed soon and doesnt bother me so much. But many players are bothered. -Hackers Havent encountered a single one, but apparently many have. -Boredom/No end-game content Geared up? Good. Now sit in a forest and wait for your hunger to grow and eat a beef. -Not enough challenge My biggest gripe. Guns are so common and ammo even more common. The game should have like 20% of the ammo and weapons that it currently has. -Duplicating Even more guns, ammo and everything. Makes the game super easy. Have stopped playing and waiting for further fixes. Or just DayZ for Arma3 in the best case.

Duped ... Satchel ... CHAARGEEEEESSSSZZ!!!!!

You can pretty easily crouch, depending how many buildings there are around. And distant zombies lose your sight after running a few meters. Zombies are just fine but they need to hit harder. I have noticed no change between 1.7.2.3-1.7.2.4

It would be cool if there was even more weapons... At the moment there is a shitload of variations. I dont even know how fucking many M4 or M16 variations there are. I would be happy if they removed all these advanced military weapons with thermal scopes, silencers, foregrips and holo sights. They kind of take away the rough survival feeling of the game when you are equipped like a Special Forces soldier.

Suckers. I have so much satchel charges I could make Chernarus a big smoking crater. I also have so much military guns I could run a gun monopoly.

Im a survivor who kills only when necessary. I sneak through towns and like to take down zombies from afar with an accurate weapon. I dont like advanced military gear that exists in the game because its so common and takes away the 'survivor feel'. I live in the forests and loot the smaller towns. I kind of roleplay it. Not much else to say.

Look on the bright side: The more exploits people use, the more people complain about the issues. And the issues will be more visible to the developers and maybe motivates and guides them on how to fix it.

What a mess. Anyway: Im all in for player killing in DayZ and other sandbox games. In fact, I like being killed in DayZ, fresh start is always ... refreshing. But the point that people dont get is that decisions you make, even in games, have consequences and most of the time an impact on someones mood of the mind. Games are made to create emotions. Without different kinds of emotions, games, music, movies, everything would be pointless. There are competitive games: The great feel of winning and the disappontment of losing. You can feel good to know if you are better than someone else, or if you are performing better than you did last time. There are strong emotional games. Mass Effect series is a good example that comes in mind. It is made to create bigger emotions. Sadness, cheerfulness, excitement... It is the damn main point of the game. Horror games to create chills of fear and excitement ... The list goes on forever. If you kill someone in DayZ, in a straight-up fight, he will most surely feel the disappointment of losing and a little bit sad for losing all his gear. But not in huge amounts, but still it surely activates some kind of activity in his brain. You team up with someone, and have a blast playing DayZ! The other person thinks you are the greatest person to play with and is going to ask for your Steam account name before you both log off and go to sleep so that you can play later. Suddenly you just empty your Makarov clip into his face shouting in the Direct Chat: ''Ha-ha! Good night, sucker! Remember, its a game!'' The victim is surely deceived and feels very bad for your actions. ''He never liked to play with me?'' - he thinks. Backstabbing. This kind of playstyle is in my opinion indescribably mean. Those are all my viewpoints of course. You can keep your views but I aint losing mine. Actions in games do create emotions. The End.

I used to play this one game called EVE Online. Its an mmorpg with spaceships, but it has a lot in common with DayZ. PvP, co-op and a sandbox, you can do whatever you want. You play much, work hard and earn stuff. You die, you lose everything and you will have to start all over. Usually it takes months to earn enough credits to buy yourself a good ship. Now lets say I've played this game for a year and my friend joined up half a year ago. Since he joined, I started to work and gather money for a new spaceship for myself. 6 months of hard work, and Im starting to feel frustrated and decide to buy more in-game money with real-life money. I pay 15€ to have enough money to get that spaceship I ever wanted. Now I have it, I'll show my new flagship for my friend. My friend is pretty jealous and decides to blow it up. All 6 months of hard work and 15€ gone in a minute, which can never be recovered. Im pretty mad at my friend. My friends response: ''Dude its just a fucking game, get over it.'' Would you not be angry with him? Would you just think its ok for him to act like that? It would have absolutely no impact to your relations? I made up the story. --- Anyone here played RuneScape as a kid? Play it for a long time just to grind all day long and level up your character? At my age, all the school kids played it and at that age kids didnt think so far about their actions. Kids played for long periods of time and worked hard ingame just to get stuff and level up. And when you died, you lost everything you had in the game. If you had played it for a long time and you had a character of your dreams and someone in your class stole your account, changed its password, would you not be angry? He just stole your RuneScape account for himself to get all your goodies. ''Dude its just a game.'' And not a single impact on your relations was taken that day? This happened a lot years back and broke a few friendships so I think it has some effect on the players' real life. --- There was a good thread in the forums here somewhere a few weeks back. The threads OP told that he saved a survivor from a sure death. He bandaged him and gave him a blood transfusion and the survivor was grateful. They played for a long time and they had some great fun together. Could've been a good gamer friend in the future, too if it was me there. Then OP's friend joins their party and they play for some time until they have a little break to think about what to do next. Suddenly his friend just draws out his gun and blasts the saved survivors brains out, leaving OP wonder that why the hell would he do something like that?! ''I was just bored.'' -was his reply if I remember correctly. That counts as a same reply as ''Its just a game.'' if you ask me. OP was stunned by his monstrous actions. He killed an ingame buddy of his, and he never could hear from him again. If the OP was me, it would have had a negative impact on our relations. I would have not quit talking to him, but still I would have had less respect for him as a trustworthy friend. All of the above stories would have an impact on me in real life. Of course the examples may be more extreme, and I would'nt be jumping off a cliff if I lost my NVGs in DayZ, but still. In real life or not. No matter the location or the circumstances, there is always a person doing the decisions.

Oh wow. How stupid people can be? So few understand the OP's point.
