A Final Solution to the Bandit Problem
Sol (DayZ) replied to EggMcSexy's topic in DayZ Mod Suggestions
You severely wounded my inner child. NOW LOOK WHAT YOU MADE ME DO! ~Sol -
There's also a crowbar already... but it's useless since it takes 3-5 hits to kill a zombie with it. By that time you've been half eaten and possibly knocked unconscious by the flailing girly slaps of the infected. ~Sol

Watch out talking like that around here... it will get your posts misconstrued and laughed at by morons that can't string two words together... and all the kids will get angry. ~Sol

We better just close off the suggestions thread section then.... seeing as 5 out of 6 threads are about one of the following topics: 1. Hackers 2. Zombies running too fast 3. Item duping and buggy tents 4. DayZ for Xbox 5. Refillable magazines ~Sol

A Final Solution to the Bandit Problem
Sol (DayZ) replied to EggMcSexy's topic in DayZ Mod Suggestions
Would it matter if it was? Humans still work the same way, whether it's the Wild West or Outer Space... Why do you insist on making stupid relationship connections between crap that doesn't matter and isn't related, to more crap that doesn't matter? I hope you're happy with yourself. ~Sol -
Even though Rocket said in an interview, that it's more like a movie than a game. Your logic is fail, just thought you'd like to know. ~Sol

Griefer, Hacker, and ALT+F4 - Not yet another thread
Sol (DayZ) replied to Sol (DayZ)'s topic in DayZ Mod Suggestions
So, in other words... you think that people who intentionally seek to ruin other peoples fun, and basically be a total jerk-off on purpose is perfectly fine? Says a lot about your personality. Enjoy being forever alone. Oh and while we're on the subject, go and fuck yourself :) So uh, this system works for countless other games avilable right now on the market... why do you think it's not going to work for DayZ? Why would it be useless? Of course there is always going to be some asswipe who will report a perfectly innocent player... thing is without video evidence to back it up it simply gets thrown out. You seem to be missing the key point of providing evidence to back up any claims. I also never said "put a tag over someones head" I said, (read carefully please) when you die... as in, dead... you will get a message that says "you were killed by XXXX"... not any other time. Not when you're alive.... not when you aim at someone... when you die. Comprende? Lastly, just because this is a test doesn't excuse people from doing the wrong thing. Just because the police aren't standing right next to you, doesn't mean stealing is fine. I think people like you who merely try to find the most negative reply to make about stopping hackers and griefers must do it themselves... clearly you are part of the problem if you can't see any positivity in trying to stop it. You are your mate who posted above should go kiss in the closet and make little grefier babies. ~Sol -
Contradiction much? One simply does not "change servers" when one has much invested in the server, like cars, tents, and other shit. How about, give us the power and means, and we will destroy these fun-killing kids once and for all? ~Sol

Yeah I have to say I pretty much agree with all of this. ~Sol

Griefer, Hacker, and ALT+F4 - Not yet another thread
Sol (DayZ) replied to Sol (DayZ)'s topic in DayZ Mod Suggestions
I guess I just have a different moral perspective to you. Just becasue it's there doesn't mean you HAVE TO do it... I personally prefer to control myself, knowing that all I am going to do is make someone else rage, which I simply don't find fun at all to do. If I'm worried they have something I don't then sure as fuck I'll shoot them if I don't think I can get them to cooperate. Making "friends" in DayZ is far more beneficial than shooting everyone on sight... simply because strength in numbers. Between myself and two other friends we have managed to fend off several "leet" players because we had more people than they did. At the end of the day, regardless of what any of us feel should be a bannable offense, I still think having a submission/review system would be far more effective than anything proposed so far, and from the lack of genuine opposition in the thread here I think most of you guys agree (aside from our moral standpoint differences). *EDIT* I just realized I left a crucial "non" out of my original post.... no wonder there are a few butthurts. ~Sol -
Hi first post. Perhaps you should try using search, or looking on the very page you are about to post the identical topic to 9000 other people. Have another go. ~Sol

Sol (DayZ) replied to Sol (DayZ)'s topic in DayZ Mod Suggestions
I care for the same reason the dev team cares. Also, great way to also not read what I said. On more than one occasion, this now being the third, I said: People who kill on sight for non-game realted purposes. Great way to look like a jackass, especially telling me I don't "deserve" top play the game? Who the fuck do you think you are mate? ~Sol -

This can't die already... Surely we can't be the only ones who think this is a step to take in the right direction. ~Sol -
After 220 hours- here are my suggestions for dev ASAP
Sol (DayZ) replied to reuben5150's topic in DayZ Mod Suggestions
I haven't logged anywhere near 200 hours and I can already see the things you talk about, OP, plus more. I have to agree here, on pretty much everything. Weapon rarity is another semantic I won't go in to, but balance issues aside I have to agree with 99% of your point. ~Sol -
I support this thread. In real life, these are the things I would be relying on for survival... not some super high tech sniper rifle, lmao. I'd go back to my martial arts training and hunting skills... also growing up as a kid in a country area, learning how to climb anything and eat anything. Simply adding the ability to punch with your fists and swing an axe wile moving (at all... even walking, just give is SOMETHING) would make all the difference to me. ~Sol

Removal of Sniper Rifles and Silenced guns.
Sol (DayZ) replied to necroslord's topic in DayZ Mod Suggestions
Only because of the setting, like... where DayZ is located... While I do agree those weapons are used by (the majority players, not everyone) griefers and player killers... I don't agree they should be removed. It's definitely more authentic with them in the game, in this setting. If DayZ was set in my city, there wouldn't be a GUN ANYWHERE, except in police stations, or gun clubs.... or maybe a farm. This, let alone sniper rifles an silenced weapons. That may all change if zombies were around the place and the military was sent in but got owned, but as it is Adelaide is not the place you'd find that sort of hardware... but Chern is. I'd like the ammo for these guns to be super rare... like SUPER RARE. As is it you can get DMR mags by the dozens and happily pewpew unsuspecting players from over 1km away easily. I think the (partial) answer to the problem is exactly that. It's on the right track at least. ~Sol -
I just started playing, and I found and fixed a car, two ATVs, and a motorcycle.... I have 6 tents and a shit load of guns. I only found out because I read about while trying to find a solution to my flipped car. I still drive full speed on my ATV through the forest and nothing bad has happened so far... I guess I won't be doing that any more either. Anyone want two fully repaired ATVs? It's easy to flip them back with a two line script... if Rocket would just add it into the context menu for the vehicle, the problem would be solved. I even have the script to do it, if he wants it... ~Sol

Empty all tents and vehicles every X days
Sol (DayZ) replied to tobiassolem's topic in DayZ Mod Suggestions
How about.... fix the shit instead of taking it away? I'd prefer that. Until it's fixed though, yeah a reset now and again might be okay... having said that, why should I lose my hard earned, legitimate vehicles/supplies/weapons just to deal with some kid who duped 10 night vis goggles? ~Sol -
Too bad IRL your backpack also doesn't vanish, and items don't drop though the floor into oblivion. ~Sol

Griefer, Hacker, and ALT+F4 - Not yet another thread
Sol (DayZ) replied to Sol (DayZ)'s topic in DayZ Mod Suggestions
Out of curiosity why do you disagree that grief behaviour is not acceptable. I can understand shooting two guys in the middle of the night while hiding in a bush... because they had a motorcycle and you didn't (true story bro)... but killing players for nothing other than to grief should be "illegal" and a bannable offense. In APB Reloaded, you can smash other players around all you want... it's allowed by the game engine and perfectly "legal" from a non-exploit point of view... but guess what, it's not socially accepted and you can be banned from the game if someone records you being an asshole for no reason. On the flip side, if you're trolling someone because they are (for example) about to commit a crime and you want to stop them, it's perfectly legal. I'm not saying to ban people who kill on sight... I'm saying ban people who kill on sight for non-game related purposes (IE killing noobs on the beach for a bandage, or stacking cars in Cherno and flattening the tires, only to snipe anyone who comes within 50 feet of it merely for "fun". I'm keen to hear your reasoning. ~Sol -
An all-round solution to alt-F4 & server hopping
Sol (DayZ) replied to chaR's topic in DayZ Mod Suggestions
I forgot about Alt+Tab... so disbale Alt, and Windows key, damn. Like I said, I nullified my though process anyway on that part of my post. The only reason I didn't delete it is because it's still a viable method of solving the problem. Even with alt+tab, and using taskman to shut down the game.... still takes a fair bit longer than mashing ALT+F4. If you haven't taken damage or moved in 30 seconds, the functionality of the keys can be restored (in case of a partial client crash or a genuine need to end-task on the game client arises). Again kudos for only really pointing out the flawed part of my statement, even though clarification was not necessary since that train had left the station. ~Sol -
An all-round solution to alt-F4 & server hopping
Sol (DayZ) replied to chaR's topic in DayZ Mod Suggestions
Yeah dude GG, that's why I said disable the "Windows" key, and ended with... fuck you don't even need that, just do this instead. I'm glad you read my whole post and not just the first sentence. ~Sol -
It's only known by people it has happened to already or have read about it. Why do you act so surprised that more people keep doing it? It's like, because you know about it, everyone else should too? ~Sol

Not me, GamersFirst. I guess "worst" isn't really accurate... should be "most useless, except for Battleye". ~Sol
