Professional or not this is simply a theory. Her theory may have some basis but fact is until this kind of situation came about no-one knows. Now on this do I think that Dayz counts as evidence for against this "of course not". People know they are playing a game so will act differently. She is also studied a hypothetical science. Meaning in 100 years we could find out everything our current day psychologist think about human thought is very far off. I doubt this, but it is possible. Once upon a time top scientists in the world thought the world was flat.

Rocket said if you kill a guy with a hacked gun it's fair game. You can get kicked by server admin for using. You can not get perma banned for using them.

Yeah, they really need to make days alive based off of actual game time. That would make it impressive although currently with hackers pretty hard to stay alive too long.

This is semi-real semi-balance mechanic. Fact is non-silenced ammo in a silenced gun would technically work but damage the gun/silencer. More than that the abundance of ammo would make silenced guns even stronger (which they are already very strong) then in the current state.

THAT PATCH FIX IS THE NEXT PATCH. PEOPLE COME COMPLAIN BUT DO NOT TAKE THE TIME TO READ ANNOUNCEMENTS. LITTLE CLUE READ BEFORE POSTING. HELL TRY A SEARCH.

The way in which you use that is blatant exploitation. Good job posting it all over hope both your accounts get banned. Using as offline storage impossible to raid. Using to kill people that kill you? Yeah, that is how this game was meant to be played.

This would be a great feature but has big problems. Issues 1 - Clans/People using extra characters for nothing but storage that is impossible to raid. (Making death matter so much less) 2 - People bring multiple accounts to airfield. You kill them in 1 spot they log in another and use another char to kill you save all of the gear 3 - As people have already posted people will then not play safe not play as the game was desired and just bandit cherno/shore even more with these when they are bored. This will cause even more of a uprise in banditry and issues for newer players Other issues also but those are the bigger ones. The only way I see multiple characters working in a game like Dayz without hurting the game is if you have multiple server sets. So for instance 3 groups of servers A/B/C. If you log on A servers you get A char B/C respectively. This way A characters can never be on same servers as B or C etc. This will keep them completely separated and let you play with different groups as you are saying. Now even this will not stop all problems like people just camping cherno/elektro but will stop the bigger exploit ones. This will also add issues like splitting the community etc./ Caring about your character less because you have multiple gear etc. Now even if they did want to put in a change like this with it's negatives you also have to see how major of a server side change that is. Now the hive has to be split, People need to pick server types. It gets really complicated and I highly doubt it will be done in the mod version of the game.

I certainly agree with the Ammo being really reduced. Although as already stated first need to wait for the auto-refill of mags to be fixed. I am all for making zombies more of a threat but fact is most of the servers can not handle more zombies. Going through elektro with double the zombies would be near impossible just to find space to crawl between. I would rather see zombies be more dangerous, maybe do more dmg, or something. I am all for possibly upping the concentration of zombies around military spots only. Make it so sneaking into stary/NW/NE/Ballota is not possible you have to shoot your way in (although you would have to stop the instant re-spawning that sometimes happens now. Overall all for making PvE more dangerous and do like the theory that if you make PvE dangerous that PvP will be more of a risk for the bandit.

Lots you missed near Gvodsno Fact is Not counting 20 or so KM from each edge any field they can spawn. look at the map you just made pretty much marked most of map but the edges and the south. An actual map is pointless.

crow bar easy 2nd worst double barrel which I did not even see on the list Crowbar < Double barrel < hatchet < crossbow (although crossbow is debatable because vs zombies OP)

Fact is rocket said that as long as you didn't spawn it it is fair game. Problem is server admins will still ban you and you know your using a broken gun.

Honestly I upgraded to 1.7.2.4 so I have no idea if I have the UAZ still lol and yes you can drive the UAZ through forests no problem. We almost lost the UAZ the other day though I logged on went up to it guess someone was in the middle of stealing it shot me, but my friend was logging on right after so he waited in a tree for the guy to go for it and shot him lol. I only semi feel bad though because you have to know if your raiding a camp people probably logged there so them appearing in camp is a risk.

Or maybe me and my few friends found your tent with our UAZ and emptied it into it? MUST BE HACKS. Anyways as I was coming here to post. Any idea when you might upgrade to the new patch I know it's only day one but pretty everyone saying it is one of the most stable patches in weeks (as long as you get the BE working at first) Secondly, because we are thinking of hosting a server and I do find your servers to be best was wondering if you host this server privately or if you go through a game hosting place? If you do go through someone mind giving name?

It does not matter when you do it if you have enough guys to safely hold the NWAF for 20 min empty it and farm it good for you. Those that are pissed about it just are too stupid to make friends and do it.

I like the pack system I simply think the following spawn changes need to be made Assault pack - Spawns more places (simply does not make game sense to have first natural progression pack only spawn in military and be semi rare) Also up spawn rate Czech pack - Lower spawn rate just a little bit Alice Pack- Lower spawn rate allot but leave so still spawns all over (not to coyote level but let finding an Alice pack become exciting not expected) Leave Coyote pack the way it is This will give normally allot better and rewarding pack progression pack. I currently have far to much game time in this game and I have ever actually used assault pack like twice. Once someone knows way around game here is normal in game time frame for backpack currently Start with Patrol Pack 20 min in game find Alice Pack 2 hours in game run into czech pack you don't need 5 hours in game find assault pack you def do not need 15 hours in game find coyote pack.

I'm ok with allot of those suggest etc. but at the moment Rocket has said he's working on fixing things more than adding content. My first suggestions = no new development. Simple loot table modifications.

Hence why I say "normal" time frame. I have also gotten lucky and found coyote early. I have also gotten unlucky and had a Czech pack for like 5 hours. However, the average anyone not at shore has alice pack, many in cherno have alice pack. Few have Coyote. With random loot spawns you will always have those lucky and good starts. I have also checked balato and found a m16 acog and a m24 in the same run before 4 min in game have 2 great guns. Certainly does not make it normal.

Now i am all for a full reset. All vehicles all tents all characters reset. Everyone starts from scratch. Before everyone gets all in arms about this first let me state. I have several tents with helicopter gear, several vehicles loaded also. I doubt I'd be losing the most in the game but I'm certainly not a player that would not be losing allot. Fact is a month ago when i would kill someone at NW they might have 1 super rare item (M4A1 SD, Night Vision, GPS, etc.) or none. Now when I kill someone like 1/2 the time they are loaded with like all this stuff. I know people have learned better where to find items but the pure abundance of the stuff is obviously from the duping (both purposeful and accidental). In my opinion waiting for Beta or Stand-alone would make allot of the testing in this experiment until then be bad data and near useless so this should not wait. Rocket has already said the tent amount is causing issues.

I have had a couple but the m4A3 CCO is the same gun. Only difference is you gain a flashlight and camo. The better camo version is more common though.

Anything form the Dayz staff is this even a possibility or are we barking up the wrong tree?

What good is testing information when everything is being tested with everyone having all kinds of stuff they normally would not have? My point is current testing information is giving bad or false information because of this stuff. That is the reason for the reset.

Not all the exploits are still in the game. Agreed some are but if we wait until all are it will probably be months. Why get bad data for months when we can at least improve that data some. I know of many duping bugs that were fixed and tent amount in DB currently is causing another. 100% of hacks/exploits will never be fixed ever. If you wait for them all to be done to improve the game will never improve. Nothing is stopping another reset happening at the Beta start. The Journey is all that matters who cares about gear.

Why wait? If this is causing issues now fix it now. As someone that works with DB's of probably larger size if they are simliar (which they could not be) doing a complete full start from scratch reset would not be from a technical stand point hard or time consuming. I can not comment on the exact system they use because obviously I do not know it but the hardest part would be dealing with the player base fall out.

I highly disagree on this. 2 big reasons. Yes hackers spawn stuff in. Often though they spawn in big stuff like different guns, satchel charges, guns not even in game. They are often killed in cherno doing other hacker stuff and most of the stuff is just lost or hidden. Most people don't' want to pick up the hacked items and hide body ( I do). So your theory that the majority of the high end is from this honestly i think is misguided. Secondly, I do not think you realize how much of the stuff has been from dupes. First off there was purposeful duping techniques that have now for the most part been fixed. Clans making 50 NVG's etc. Also right now accidental tent duping is rampant. I know of a camp where we found first time it was like OO 3 M4 SD 2 L85 AS50 range finder and NVG's. We took some spare stuff left. Next day we were like man lots of good stuff to get from that cmap we should make another run see if they moved it yet. Everything was back in the exact numbers. We then found out at least 4 other groups were hitting that site multiple times a day (tents reset on server restart every 6 hours). This is/was happening on other servers too. I highly doubt the majority is from spawned in. 1. Allot of the duping has been fixed (maybe not all) but allot has been and rocket said the current tent issues are due to the 1 million + tents int he DB. So the reset would stop that duping and give them time for a long term fix. 2. Even if it is short term good would also give the experiment another view of a fresh start. Fact is a server wide truncate on all the tables should not really be hard or take long. As someone that works for a telecom software company that does massive DB's (millions and millions of call records per day in our systems) a clean start is rarely viable but always the best and easiest thing to do. Sadly in our industry it is not possible because losing phone records is not the same as losing some video game gear.
