See the only way your going to get your own KOS, no stats etc.. is to have a custom vanilla server. Some of the features you dont like turned off. Maybe hardcore vanilla. The only problem is, who is going to host it? your telling me, and a couple others in this thread how much you dont like KOS, stats all that.

Thanks, glad you showed us this. I haven't seen this video before. It would be great if the PR people would start linking things so we as fans can review these videos too. Oh wait reddit has it i bet or twitter. I think it is very important now to have fresh ideas on base building. As hoarders and survivors we want to build things in games now. Sandbox games appear to be all about this. I believe that it is one of the most adventurous skills to "Time sync" any game today. We tend to blow right past the content boring us out too quickly. It also is a place we can defend and go to hoard all of our supplies to craft stuff. Crafting will be very important to us. It will also make for an exciting pvp raid game. It is how we perceive the server at the time. I doubt i would want to base build on any Public server, as offline base raiding will be a way for grieving squeakers and cheaters win.

Your forgetting.... its going to be a modded game BI has already told hicks and his team they want modding to happen. Everything will change, but SA will stay the same. You have all the choice in the world what you want your server to look like.

I want to KOS, and I want stats. You dont like it? make sure your not in my sights.....

you forgot you can eat 10 cans of food in less then 1 hour. and drink 25 gallons in under 15 minutes. When getting into a vehicle, the item you have in your hands should be able to be thrown in the seat beside you.

ok for murders to go? hehe /evil grins

No but seriously we need BI to step up its program and start working with these hosting companies if they plan on keeping it an even level playing field in public. The rest can do what they want, its private. Until the game is close to beta, or close to release there is no real point in complaining. There are so many issues at hand here.

it gets to the point we repeat and repeat ourselves constantly...... what else can we say??? lmao... Slip a stupid time one in there makes it all good and funny once in awhile. Glad you like my sense of humor :)

Ok public have no option to password (this is private only).--see previous note on private displayed as public-- but is private. (white list on the other hand, would be scripted, so is autokick) Those are rule infractions. Vilayer i know are running by the seat of their pants on the rules. That i do agree about. Yes public public public is not allowed to kick at all except cheating. When i had vilayer, we had many restrictions. They also noted that any custom scripts not allowed by BI will be removed and you can lose your money. Those where in the rules i did read once. It is up to those hosting companies to follow these rules. But until BI gets moving on repairing this game there is little to 0 protection we can do. The crazy bugs, force people to find ways to cheat on the servers. They rent a cheap server because they do not wish to pay full price to what we did Private master hive, and Private Slave Shard Both of those goes between each other. Otherwise its the same as the way bi has it enabled pretty much, Master Shard, hooked to slaves....that are purchased atm by private vendors. Its pretty straight forward.

Whooosh.... guest number 10002 flew right over your head...

dev's have one, pay them big bucks they might let you borrow it :)

HI guest, Not sure what guest you are, 10001? but your correct its a WIP

It was the first open 240km MP game on the market, that i will give it credit for. Its far from done. But i cant agree its the first idea.

Hold on, do you mean private server that says public on the list? but is actually private. Private servers are allowed to kick. Since we know the rules, don't confuse the private over public. I know some server ops have an option that labels it as public, but it still is hooked to the private shard. Vilayer has rules to follow and tell you those rules too, by linking it in your email. They also tell people your not able to kick players. This is a public server half the price of private hive. Slave shard is different. Its still private but hooked to the master shard. Both are private. Some options say Private, public. I know i had them both vilayer and fragnet and a few others. To know, you join and it shows your same public character. If you join and your on the coast then that is private. (i know many that just kick by scripts before you even log in) This is also on public.

its a WIP, expect loads of patches sometime down the road. The new UI is horrible. So hopefully it becomes something good in the end. They know what we like, and they also know what we dont like about the UI. We where told it was a programmers view. The art team hasn't gotten into it. Last i heard.

Our efforts have been really helpful i am sure but emu, you must be confused? dayz isnt orginal Dead Rising (デッドライジング, Deddo Raijingu?) is a 2006 open world survival horror beat 'em up video game. If i am not mistaken more games fall into this category. Either way doesn't matter, they are doing a good job, hopefully we can see a good final product. It is what interests players. Open world 100 player servers are what people want.

the map is too big for KOS, to even be worried about it. If people want to KOS they will. Its a game, everyone has the right to choose what role they want to play. so stats are perfectly fine, kill feeds, whatever we need. Its going to be server based game, private, and a few public. So to take away options from the server op is out of the question.

I hope your right on this 60-90 day timer. So many games and people have stuff wiped. Its depressing when you build a base, and all your stuff goes poof because the database or coding is all wrong. I cant count on one hand anymore the number of times a database, or coding has wiped someones base from the game. I can count on 2 hands how many games are out there that has problems with persistence, and decay. The system theory is flawed. We have backups sure, but why do we need them? when so many other games like MMO's have your stuff stored for over 10 years of inactivity on your account. Database wipes are not funny, especially when you work so hard like the OP did and it all gets wiped. Chalk it up as another EA alpha problem. Just like the other 10 games i can count. Sorry emu, for your loss. This is why i didn't bother firing up the game until they get camps fixed. Its been well over a year and we still have issues with persistence.
