Just happened. 5:55PM.

Though I realize the need to have the same rules for all servers because of the ability of people to change servers/save their characters, why not have different kind of servers that have separate databases types? For instance, if someone wants to disable helicopters (bad example perhaps) on their server, let them do it, but a person who uses a server that has disabled helicopters can only play on other servers that have disabled helicopters. Also, servers should be allowed to have their own databases if they wish. This will discourage server hopping and will allow the server to adjust anything they like without risking unfair advantage on other servers. Basically there are some aspects of the game that different players feel very differently about. If someone is paying for a server, why not allow them to do what they want on it?

i see alot of people are viewing this topic, is it working for anyone?

Im getting an error "you cannot play/edit this mission, it is dependant on files that have been edited/deleted" etc

Could someone link me somewhere that tells admins how to update their servers? (it doesnt happen automatically does it?)

Youre lucky you didnt read it. Terrible waste of time. Seems obvious the reason he made post for "rocket only" is because he knows people like me will see his ideas are idiotic but thinks that he is somehow special only rocket will understand. Here is snippet of his post: "What we are aiming for is that everyone will be running around with pistols. They are the perfect standard go to gun since they can't hurt so badly at range...Sure, some people might cry that they can't get cool guns anymore. But honestly a double barreled shotgun is just as cool to kill a person with as an AK. and a CZ550 will be just as shiny as an AS50 if the CZ550 is rare enough. Altho that doesn't even matter. DayZ isn't about shiny weapons. It's about interaction getting an experience with other players."

Not a huge problem IMHO. You can always look for vehicles etc and just mess around the rest of the map/look for enemy camps. If there wasnt just one awesome spot there would be less action there. I do kind of like the idea of having certain areas more specialized. For instance, I think all the hospitals are on the coast. However, I kind of like being able to be anywhere on the map and not have to be like, "oh man, i need _____" so gotta travel all the way across the map and making more PvP hotspots. I believe that the map will eventually be bigger and then yes, there certainly should be more awesome spots then just one airfield.

Seems that youre scared of people whether theyre in day z or not.

Not having this problem on other servers. There is some way to fix it from your end, not sure how though.

Edit: removed, wrong server.

Im getting kicked from my main server. I assumed it was hackers. I was going to post it in cheat reporting w/ video

this topic has been extensively covered but it absolutely CAN be done. And sure someone may occasionally accidently disconnect, but usually if its an accident they would be safe. Obviously 9999 out of 10000 times when people disconnect it is intentional. Its the most exploitable/non professional aspect of this game!

I actually like this idea better than the ability to build things. What would also be great is if zombies didnt just spawn next to houses so you would have to occasionally protect your claimed house from hoards of zombies.

beans given. excellent

I think this is a terrible idea. I think at absolute most servers could have the option to have PvE or something, which you can read about on other threads. I've been playing for about a month and have like some of you been extremely frustrated that the game is basically PvP. Once I accepted that, the game has become incredibly more fun. Basically unless you are completely unarmed and I see you I will shoot on sight. I'd rather not kill you but i've had waaaay too many experiences of people shouting "friendly! friendly!" and then unload a clip in my butt as soon as my guard was down (and then like you was butt hurt). The game really wouldnt have to be PvP if it was entirely restructured, but I personally like it as it is.
