Guys what I'm asking is should it not be up to the person who owns the server to decide if damage is taken, players can decide if they want to play there or not

Is there anyway to put back the ability for bears and wolves to hit players in cars which was removed in 1.9. Removing this has ruined the PVE gameplay perspective, now player stays in car, runs over creature, continue backwards and forwards until bear is dead, get out, skin it, rinse and repeat with zero risk. As a server owner I would like the option to remove the turn off or turn on damage via XML like I do with stamina and vehicle damage. I understand this may not be popular with PVP servers, but equally there are a large portion of PVE servers as well as PVP. As a solution give server owners the option of turning in car player hit damage on and off, problem solved.

Admittedly I felt the same way after playing PVE until you apply a different mindset. On our R.I.P server surviving is difficult because of the challenge of the dangerous animals and other modded features We have custom areas of the map some more dangerous than others. The survival element on PVP servers is lost, I've played on many servers where even fresh spawns run in to try to kill you even though you have nothing. I'm not against that style of gameplay it's just not for me.....after 3 hours of collecting supplies getting snipered of someone sitting safely away hiding on a hilltop for no other reason than just to kill you....pointless

Sorry mate its PC

Hi all, I guess this is an age old topic that everybody has good and bad opinions on. I started playing Dayz on PC as PVP, I played like this for a while until i started hearing abut PVE servers so i thought I would give it a crack. Having been playing PVE for a while i honestly cant see myself going back to PVP, the frustration of being killed as a fresh spawn by geared up players really gets to me. I got playing with a couple of guys and they would log onto the servers while it was low population and then run up to Tizzy get geared then run back to the coast and log out until later. When the server filled up they would log on and basically farm fresh spawns, then when they died would log off and rinse and repeat the next day....theres no fun in that, zero skill. So myself and 3 friends decided to start up our own server, its called PVE R.I.P We have made the game style challenging and are looking for players and feedback All welcome, no PVP though the map is challenging enough !! Whatever your gaming style if you like to run alone or team up it's a place for you Cheers
