THESTANAG

It's good to see you guys got a new server, I'm very happy for you. And you have a different server admin, awesome. The timing was unfortunate, but I have found a group that fits my playstyle and really checks out their prosepective members well so that kind of drama doesn't happen. Good luck to you guys.

I have no trouble spotting people following me in 3rd person. We can turn around and look behind us while carrying any backpack ;)

How is peeking over a wall a crutch? This argument that peelking over a wall is a crutch assumes the game imitates real life... which DayZ clearly does not as it contains..... wait for it... ZOMBIES. I mean it's a video game for crying out loud. And as others have stated 3rd person imitates real-life more than 1pp does.

Oy vey! I offered to take it private and even said I wouldn't post one of those videos in public about your server and the msot recent one seemed damning but after a search Saturday, three more have shown up. You guys have problems. I found a small group on the forums to run with. Good luck with whatever....

The most intelligent response on this subject yet. Beans for you sir.

How exatly does peeking create bad gameplay? That's what 3rd person is about. The other guy can peek you as well.... Again.... how is this bad gameplay? It's fair to both players. It's DIFFERENT gameplay, enjoy the crappy first person implementation, don't vomit on the gameplay most people want to use. Wait till they fix/polish 1PP and then play to your hearts content. I contend, there is nothing...NOTHING wrong with 3PP gameplay. Asking the devs to move the camera because 1PP are pissed that their beloved gameplay mode is fubar and have to "settle" for 3PP is really, really silly.

I really do not understand your point. Creates bad gameplay? Look at the number of people playing 3PP vs 1PP. If the gameplay were bad, then they wouldn't have sold millions and with the .55 patch then NO ONE would play, not even 3PP. I contend that 1PP is a terrible implementation and that is why no one plays it, even before the latest patch on stable.... 3PP players outnumbered 1PP at least 10 to 1. According to the dev's, they are encouraging server hopping as they have indicated parts for vehicles might be spread across servers, and combat logging is just a cheap and stupid tactic. Both server hopping and combat logging will happen if the game is 1PP only, so your comparison is jsut rediculous.

1st person sucks in this game. That's why no one plays it. It is a herky jerky mess. I really don't understand why this dichotomy exists within the community, it's the same game from two perspectives. I've played both, and I prefer 3rd person... the end result is the same. Each perspective has an advantage and disadvantage, and everyone that plays has the SAME ADVANTAGE AND DISADVANTAGE. All this talk about seeing around and over walls... SO WHAT? Everyone can do it. This talk about going for realism.... really? You sound like my wife who doesn't like horror movies because they are too real... please, this is a video game. This sounds like a vocal minority trying to sway the development team to do what they want and screw everyone else. Anybody watch Sacreal play? All the 3rd PP bashing he spouts, and his preaching of how awesome 1PP is, he is a tool for the vocal minority. A decent entertainer, but an average player. If 1PP was so amazing, the "hardcore" servers would be full. The fact is, they are not because there is nothing hardcore about "hardcore". If anything should be removed it's 1PP and fix it to at least make it playable for the few that prefer it and stop calling it hardcore, it's really dumb.

I figured out how PM's work on this site! I haven't received a response from Quijiibo, so I have to assume the worst. Good luck guys, I'll have no part in a group where this behavior is allowed.

WOW! Thanks. I love that you guys have a code of conduct. I primarily play DayZ. I hung around on your teamspeak last night and talk to a few membrs, some very nice chaps, I must say. I don't have the stomach for drama and it seems I might have touched a nerve asking about the server admin abuse stuff. One of them mentioned a video on youtube that apparently has some people upset. Seems I am not the only that is a victime of admin abuse. After a bit of searching, I found it. Have you seen it? That looks like the SAS server. I won't post it here, but if I can figure out if this forum has a private message function, I can send you the link if you like. Anyway, I don't mean to air out any dirty laundry in public, but after my last experience, I won't be a part of a group that doesn't take care of admin abuse of their own team or other players. I have over 1000 hours in this game, and I've been kicked off public servers for no reason, but it seems the problem would be less on private shards?!?

Long time lurker... first time poster... I'm looking for a crew of more mature folks to play with. I have seen your group around and just saw your recruiting thread here.... The previous group I ran with owned their own DayZ server and the admin was really a Badmin. I left because he was abusing his admin power and banned a friend of mine for no reason. I have a few questions.... How long have you guys had a DayZ SA Server? What are your specific policies for server admins? Do admins follow the specific policies in place by Bohemia Interactive? Do you guys have a Youtube channel? I'd like to get a feel of your playstyle before I come into Teamspeak.
