killjoy (DayZ)

Even if it is in Alpha, hackers are still, I don't know, ridiculous. I hate seeing them wipe out my stuff and other's too. The worst part is that even if you spend hours picking an ideal, unconventional spot for your camp, they don't even need to find it to destroy it. I mean really, how are you supposed to protect yourself from that? As long as there are computers, there will be hackers, though.

And this is why I stay out of Cherno or Elektro. I've sniped a few players in other places, but that was when they were confident enough to shoot at me with their AK's across an open field at like 400m, and I made an effort to loot every single one. Other people, however, seem to only want to test that nice new AS50 or DMR they just got. Oh well, to each his own I guess.

As far as I know there are no perma-day servers, so your best bet would be to play on one overseas if your internet is kind enough. All servers are linked to the hive by default (I believe it is a requirement, but I may be mistaken), unless stated.

As a matter of fact, your idea of changing gamma, HDR, brightness etc. was a popular one. So they patched it right out of ArmA. The only thing that works is using flares, chemlights, a flashlight, or NVG's.

I'm up for some teamwork. Had enough of trying to team up with people and getting stabbed in the back (or lone wolfing for that matter). Steam name: killjoy11552

The idea of factions is a good one IMO, but they shouldn't get too overbearing or it takes away from the original feeling of DayZ. Having a choice not to join a faction shouldn't make you weaker except in the sense that you don't have as many teammates at your back, while joining a faction may mean pooling resources and a more co-ordinated approach, but you would have to work hard to build whatever it is that you want to get.

Nice! Much appreciated Rocket.

New ideas look great!
