First of all, you have to understand why the developers say certain things. If they were to say "We hate Epoch and everyone who plays it" that would negatively impact the sales of SA since a lot of noobs play Epoch. On the other hand, I'm quite sure that DayZero is something that the devs approve of as it's in the spirit of the mod. Same with 3rd person. I'm quite sure the game wasn't designed around abusing 3rd person, but if they were to turn it off all of a sudden people would be pissed, and sadly it seems they don't have the balls to do something like that.

WRONG. YOU'RE SO FUCKING WRONG. Every game that tries to cater to everyone goes to shit - look at WoW for example, or any other newly released MMORPG. Sticking to the example of WoW... Why was it so popular? The game was a grind to max level in vanilla, yet people played it. The system was far from perfect, but you know what, people played it. The end game content was hard, but people played it. Do you know why? Because developers said: "This is OUR game, and if you wanna play it, adapt or leave". The moment you start caring for everyone is the moment when you FUCK UP. What DayZ doesn't need: people trying to make this game for everyone. You don't need everyone. It's far better to have a small but dedicated community than an influx of people at launch and then a revolving door of players coming and going. FUCK THAT SHIT. This is meant to be hard core survival game. no 3rd person, no free shit, no fucking NPCs, no safe zones. I DON'T GIVE A FUCK WHAT YOU WANT, I SEE WHAT THE DEVELOPERS WANT. Oh 1st person FOV too narrow, boo hoo, don't like it? Get fucked and get out. Oh zombies too hard? Uninstall you fucking scrub. QQ too hard to get gear? GTFO or L2P. This game should all be played under "hardcore" rule set. Don't like it? WELL YOU DON'T FUCKING HAVE TO PLAY IT! HOW ABOUT THAT?!

Wat? No. Stop sucking and man up.

QFT. This is truth.

This is something I agree with for sure. For some reason there are servers with 6 hour restarts that run fine - for about 5 hours - but then there are servers with 3 hour restarts that start lagging after the first hour. I have no idea why some servers are so much worse than others.

WRONG. DayZero - incredibly popular and hardcore mod for the game. I hate the 5000 vehicle servers, but if that's the price we have to pay for stable, hardcore servers then so be it.

Lol it's meant to be a joke, thats why I misspelled it.

There's other game though. No game should cater to all playstyles. If you can't beat a game or enjoy it because it's too hard - tough shit. You ought to find something you enjoy instead i.e CS/BF/COD/ARMA. The moment you start catering to everyone is the moment a game becomes a worthless piece of shit. And the server owners don't need to listen to me, but to Bohemia when they shut down their servers for breaching TOS.

It would. Other i.e normal servers would be re-populated and the people who can't play the game because it's "too hard" would quit. Two birds one stone. EDIT: There's 1 server with 30 people that isn't some High loot, 24/7 day bullshit. Everything else has below 20 players.

No. Get an axe and pray you got enough food to get up north. No easy mode here.

Fair point about the cities. That's why it would be cool if medical supplies could only be obtained from the hospital - certain supplies i.e bloodbags.

This is almost as bad as "fuck you blizzard why did you merge us with russians QQ QQ"

Compress it, then link Virustotal scan, then link the download link.

Private hives only solution.

Post processing does the blur thing. It also eats up your resources like a bitch.

These people are the MOTHERFUCKERS that basically "teach you not to help people". They turn a perfectly normal - passive - player, into a piece of shit that'll KOS out of fear of being KOS'd. Really hate those people. If someone helps me, I help them.

Every town has zombies and theres ni hoards of zombies in the woods though.

ITT: INSECURITY

Lol, buy mics or gtfo. People who don't play with a mic are the ones who never reply in direct and KOS you. Man up, go to the store and buy a mic - preferably not a £5 crackly piece of shit. Walkie TALKie. TALK TALK TALK. It's in the name. Deaf? You'd be just as SOL with a real one, can't help ya.

Use 3rd person mode to figure out where my enemies are / glitch camera through the wall to gain leet hax advantage.... Oh wait, I don't play on EasyMode servers.

In the forest = no zombies.

Tents / cars etc? Unless it's a house in the middle of nowhere (only a couple exist), nobody sane would live in a zombie infested town, even in a barricaded house!

I agree it makes no fkn sense. Why would you barricade a house in a zombie infested town instead of making a camp in a safe location? Also, people will be attracted to the barrocaded houses and loot them over anything else. Silly idea imo, won't work.

This isn't an MMO though. Allowing people to create their own type of survival is something that will keep DayZ alive in the long run. A lot of people would've burned out on Chernarus if it wasn't for the Taviana, Namlask, Podagorsk and others. Sure, having 100 different Epoch mods isn't ideal, but I'd rather allow all the Epoch bullshit than have no private servers.

Whats the difference between private hives and public hive then? The game will be improved by having fan made mods and server admins will finally have the proper privileges without the worry of repercussions for kicking/banning exploiters, cheaters and other dickheads.
