I know some of you may be thinking: *roll eye* another one of this barb wire complaints. But actually I want to know step by step how the fuck to remove barb wire. I've had the tool box for serveral in game days but still can't get the menu option to remove barb wire to popup. Just yesterday I wasted 10 minutes at the NW airfield (was sure some sniper was gonna get my ass) out in the open trying to remove fucking barb wire at the firestation. I've been told that you're supposed to look at the post the barb wire is attached to (and that it's 'tricky') but I aimed up and down every inch of that damn thing from different angles and still couldn't get an option to remove it.

So if you're like me (generally unaware-connect to whatever server is closest) you might start up dayz only to find yourself on a beach with only the thought: "WTF" I'm starting to see these pop up. They use "DayZ Private" in the mission type but I don't think that's the sole indicator of a non hive server. I thought I filtered out everything not officially dayz by simple setting my filter to be BE only servers but these have BE enabled. I did a forum search and found this locked post: http://dayzmod.com/f...n-hive-servers/ Followed by his reddit entry: http://www.reddit.co...onhive_servers/ Leading me to a rogue dayz community(Tungle.net): http://www.tunngle.n...ned-operations/ Which all seems to be made possible by one specific member (anti_rocket): http://www.tunngle.n...01-anti-rocket/ I don't know what to make of this but I think it's kinda cute as now rocket has at the very least attained the level of zombie jesus and brought a whole world to life/unlife and even giving rise to an anti-self. Wish I had a nemesis but I've never done anything cool enough to get one (I usually just get banned on the spot, Erhm, Don't Ban Me Bro!). I took a glance at some of their topics one explains how during one of my first few lives I connected to a server to find my inventory changed and some of my equipment went missing while other stuff appreared (specifically my flashlight vanished and was replaced by a makarov along with additional inventory items like watch gps hunting knife blood pack and morphine). That happened on a server using the primary hive too >.> Looks like the only real safe way to play is to use specific official servers that won't pull that kinda crap instead of randomly connecting.

Shouldn't this be in the server forum? :>

Well now don't you have quite a tangential mind. I maybe shouldn't have mentioned it more than once but no worries. It's only a little gut prediction on the relative stagnation of mod development compared to the productivity of a profit motivated company.

Awww where's the part of your post where you show pictures or video for us to gawk at.

Do let us know what counters you find.

Basically, they're just griefer bandits armed with hacks. Could be worse. Gonna try MineZ while I wait to see if dayZ has the dc exploiting and hacking problems fixed before warZ comes out. Edit: I'm sorry I meant: Couldn't get any worse. Said it with sincerity.

Sounds like you answered your own question :>

My favorite weapon to get ahold of first is the crossbow due to it being a ranged stealth weapon and how easy it is to find. So when I read 'zombie sodomy' I thought this topic was about something else entirely. *Twang* *Zombie Growl* *Ground Thump*

Not all servers run on the primary database but rather have their own database setup. Usually you can tell cuz they'll put non-hive in the title or it will say DayZ Private in the mission type.

Ya, fix the duping. I have yet to see an as50 or the svd spawn. I wish they would run statistics on how many players have what types of weapons.

Actually the whole point of the game is to survive, not kill zombies or bandits. Also, thank you for your sacrificial tears for rocket's swimming pool and your continued devotion to generating tears from others.

Can't get any worse.

Don't worry, it can't get any worse. And I say that with complete sincerity :>

64 bit Eight-Core Processor >.>

Be glad you didn't get teleported into the middle of the ocean when you least expected it and were completely focused on something else. Oh-God-Why...

Shouldn't this topic go in the suggestions forum? The garbage pale for ideas rocket and devs don't want to read. I feel like any sort of morality system shouldn't make things harder for bandits. I would like to see something along the lines of psychosis induced from playstyle. Such as generally killing every player on sight gives you a slightly heightened sense in spotting survivors but makes them look like zombies, or helping other players increases your radius of communication. But that might be a little too rpg like.

I've seen some minecraft videos it looks ok but boring. I guess MineZ would make a good distraction while I wait to see if the hacking and server hop problems get fixed before WarZ comes out.

I have seen on some servers the map screen would be riddled with circle x signs each with a message attached like 'sniper here' 'our base here' 'come here for help' 'no bandits here' <--in chenarus, etc. But ya I'd like to see the ability to leave messages on sign posts, trees, walls, wtc. Still not convinced rocket and devs ever read suggestions though.

I'm beginning to think the suggestion forum exists as more like a garbage bin for topics rocket and devs never want to read. In which case there's no point in moderating it for content.

It's really because rocket never codded in genitals. I mean, what else is there to do during an apocalypse when you don't have genitals?

Shouldn't this be in the suggestion forum that rocket and devs never visit? I'm flexible and can go either way on the nvgs, as50, l85, etc. So I really don't care as long as they stop the damn hacking and implement a solution to the dc exploit FIRST!

Not really a bandit so the worst thing I've done was camp in smaller coastal cities at night and toss a flares at players I see crawling around (although I do avoid tossing at the ones with rifles).

Forever is a long time. Can't you just check back in two months?
