Wait for standalone.

Don't blame Bohemia Interactive for making a game originally intended for the military.

No guns, just attachments? 24k poorly spent my friend.

I see how it goes. You post a thread Others pose criticisms You insult them and insist that your idea is the one that will work They post counter-arguments You rage quit.

Hackers are taking over DayZ What a Hacking Joke More hackers encouraged to hack Need I continue?

No idea what I'm talking about? You're putting forward the argument that if Rocket doesn't allow servers to be locked, everyone's going to stop paying for servers and nobody will be able to play anymore. I'm putting forward the argument that A) that won't happen, and B ) Locking servers won't do anything and will only make things worse. What do you mean I haven't made a single point!? I've stated 3 times now that locking a server WILL NOT STOP HACKING, ONLY ACTIVE ADMINS WILL. If anything, IT WOULD MAKE IT WORSE. Admins would have to go through the trouble of reading through the applications and giving people the password only to have them turn out to be a hacker and destroy everyone's hard work. You sound like you are too lazy to be an active admin who keeps hacking to a minimum, and you just want to lock your server so you can choose who you want to play with and keep out anyone that annoys you. Also, yes, you do pay for the servers, but we're the ones who play on them. Allowing servers to lock and make people have to fill out applications to join will seriously downsize the DayZ community. Why? Because those of us who don't want to be part of some admin's little locked up server where they reign supreme, will have to play on one of the few unlocked servers left. And those servers, if they lack a good, active admin team, will be hacked constantly. Locking a server will NOT fix the problem. The only solution is having a good group of admins who are willing to devote their time to keeping their servers in check.

If I see someone looting my body I'm shooting them. If I see someone looting someone else, I might shoot them. Depends on my mood.

I really like how your use of logical fallacies. Just because a server is locked does not mean that it's going to be hacked. It's dependent on whether or not there's an admin on to stop it. Your locked servers that you have to apply to join will have just as many hacker problems as the unlocked servers now. Why? Because admins can't be on 24/7, and if a hacker gets on your locked server, and there's no admin to stop him, he can hack to his heart's content. Also, having the ability to lock servers is not "a little control." It's a lot of control. It gives servers the ability to pick and choose who they want to be on their server. Sure, you may say that you'll only use it to keep hackers out. But what about the others? What's stopping them from only accepting the applications of fellow survivors? Your idea will cause more harm than good.

People snipe cities for thrills already. A zombie apocalypse is just the excuse the psycho's need to go out on killing sprees.

No thanks. It's not gonna stop anything (hackers can still get on anyways, it's not like they're going to put "Oh and I'm a hacker" into their application, and without an admin on the hacker can just keep hacking) and more likely than not it'll decrease the playerbase significantly. Plus, who's do to say that if Rocket does allow servers to lock, that the server owners aren't just going to build their own little survivor havens where nobody kills each other? One of the main points of DayZ that I really enjoy is that you don't get to choose your community. You go onto a random server and you have no idea how many of them are bandits, or survivors, or would just completely ignore you. If servers are allowed to lock and you have to apply to the server owners to gain access, the owners can just say "Bandits need not apply," and completely ruin the PvP aspect of the game. And don't say something like "Well, we won't do that." Because that doesn't stop the other 50 million other servers from doing it.

If it's going to be a standalone, it's probably going to use the same engine as Arma 3.

At least you went back and saw an idea you liked, instead of making a new thread like most other people do. Beans for you brah.

I like to make a quaint little camp with a fire in the middle, then sit there and play the harmonica over direct chat.

You go to green mountain.

Yo dawg, wut server.

The female character has slimmer hips, easier to get through doorways. That being said, I play as a man.

This. People spread lies saying that you'll be banned if you use it, because they're jealous.

These aren't admin powers.

I want to banditerize someone.

indie games =/= free mods you can download for games

Go sit in a corner and think about your life.

Your backpack's the wrong color. Also, you need to do one of mountain

No man, you should definitely buy the game, it's a great purchase, lots of fun. Once you get a hang for the controls I'm sure you'll find it a blast. Also, if you find that you don't really like DayZ, there's at least, like, 2 other mods you can try.

Before you do ANYTHING with DayZ, play the tutorials and the singleplayer campaigns first. Otherwise your first experiences with DayZ will be worse than what they could be.

Also, did you do the tutorials and everything? Plenty of people quit because they can't handle trying to learn both the quirks of Arma 2 and the quirks of DayZ at the same time. At least give the single player campaign a go.
