Why do I get the feeling that people are running into these hackers on servers like "Super Duper Mega Uberizationated LOOTLOOTLOOT!!!!" or "COME JOIN MY SERVER PLEASE!!! 24/7 7AM | No Rain | No Cold | No Starvation | No Sickness | No challenge whatsoever!"? Also, you guys make me chuckle at your idea of what a Designer/Producer does and the game development process in general. It's understandable not to know if you aren't involved in it, just don't pretend to know. You just end up looking like a fool. Ok, I guess the above is off topic a bit for this thread so....I don't know where all the hate is coming from, but I'm sure each and every one of 'em has their reasons. Some may even differ from one another.

Yup, one look at the server list and you can quickly come to the safe conclusion that the DayZ community is over populated with a bunch of pussies. The funniest part about it...we all spawn with a freakin' flashlight!!! What a waste. Flashlight for your rifle, a waste. Flashlight for your pistol, a waste. Headlamp, a waste. Gas lantern, a waste. Road flare, a waste. Chem lights, a waste. A sun that moves across the sky, rises in the east and sets in the west, a waste. Server admins, a waste. I sure hope server owners won't have control over that stuff once the game goes final, even as a private shard. Some of the best aspects of the game are now absent because of all the pussies playing this game. =( The one thing I will give them though, is that night time isn't nearly as intense and fun to play in without zombies everywhere.

Drop all my shit = True Hardcore Starts

In threads like these, how come nobody ever suggests taking it from someone who has already done all the hopping for you? It's not like you don't have a good idea where they're going to end up. And....I guess I'll also use this thread to slip this in there; if anything could spawn anywhere both hoppers and legit players could have their way.

LOL. You come in a day later and felt the need to take a stab at me, eh. There was no back and forth going, no flame war brewing, but you just had to...well, be you I guess. I think everyone around here just needs to step back and relax a bit. It was the arbitrary 'brown noser' comment that goes with any brown noser thread, get over it. I guess everyone 'round these parts takes so much shit on a daily basis that it's easy to mistake such a comment as something hostile rather than just a smart assed poke in the ribs. Merry Christmas, you tightly wound bunch of nutzos!

You have to keep in mind that most people playing DayZ are sheep. Meaning they are playing because it is the 'in' thing to do, not because they actually enjoy what DayZ is or what it can be. This is the impression I get from browsing forums and from the players I've observed at least. They want gear quick and kills even quicker. To the point where a lot of the SA player base will waste an hour or so of their own time hopping, just to get to the point where they feel like they can now start playing the game. So yes, you get a large portion of a server's population that have decided they don't want to waste time playing the game so they instead decide to waste time not playing the game by sticking around a few key areas around the map. Twisted logic if you ask me. It's amazing how something as small as an average life span counter on a web site and a little number in the corner of your screen reminding you of how many days your character has been surviving for can change things though. Not sure why they decided to lean away from such things though.

I think you got something on your nose there, bud.

Looks like the cease fire was achieved today.

It would be sweet if they brought back the deck of cards so we could do this...

Sorry. I'm just not down with this new hipster culture where bad is good and worse is better.

Wow, a bunch people getting excited over less to do.

Of course it's going to get boring...there's no fucking zombies!

Why haven't socks made their way into this game yet? I could only imagine what the footwear we're using is doing to our feet. Hell, I used to even pass up on many of the options because I knew the hell they were going to bring down on my feet. All in all, socks should be in this game.

I ate a green pepper that I had found sitting on a dirty old toilet seat and I didn't take the time to wash it off first either. Ewwwwwww. Sure hope pepto makes it way into the game.

=) No, I think the last person that used this toilet had a wicked spot of food poisoning. Hmmm, not feeling too good. Maybe it's my turn to soil a seat.

Ha, ya I suppose you are right. Where's Antonio Banderas when you need him?

Use your imagination. Your bunk mates turned, you had to put them down, you then go through their shit and take what you need before getting the f outta dodge. Months later, a survivor shows up, finding a couple of magazineless M4s and some other scraps.

Why can't people accept that there is a KoS topic for these discussions instead of tryin to mask it under the guise of some other unrelated topic that won't make yet another KoS topic? Do u think ur being clever? Are you that needy that you need one of these just for yourself?

A thread to come shoot the shit when you're taking shelter from the rain... Just stopped raining, back on the road.

So here I sit, armed with a blood stained screw driver, hungry, wet, waiting for the rain to die down so I can get out there and find something to open this can of the Chef with. =(

If you haven't figured it out yet, the condition of your gear affects your temperature. Holes in clothes don't do much to keep you warm. Those dirty, muddy, badly damaged jungle boots, leave 'em. Ruined clothes may still have those valuable slots to hold gear in, but to the weather it's like they're not even there. I also think that, with some of you, you start to panic when you see the messages. The messages are constant because your temp is always in a flux, but it takes a lot more to get the warming up message than the cooling down so people will tend to always see that they're cooling down and start to freak out. Don't. =)

I'd love to see it get back to where the average life span is about 20-30 minutes, was so much fun and intense back then. :)And to stay on topic....sway

Why were you pissed? You hit your targets, they went down. Reason enough to be proud of your marksmanship. Do you only gain pleasure from your kills if you can believe that someone elsewhere in the world is raging over the fact that you killed them? It's not like there's a leaderboard or anything and doubt you were head out to the middle of an airfield to loot the bodies so why be pissed? You didn't miss out on anything.

No, I think the real issue in this thread is that everyone is making assumptions about everyone else in the thread. Then people get combative, talk in circles and we get nowhere. Also, that's a pretty tall horse your on there. Maybe it's time to come down.

Just wanted to confirm the magic of the splint. I had thought the bug these guys were talking about was when you will get the red msg for a limb that is broken but you can still walk(in the case of a leg) and/or the bug where you player is always grunting like he's hurt, but you health is displayed as bright green. Well, there is a state that your player can be in where all will seem the norm and your health is displayed as healthy and bright green, but under the hood you are in pretty bad shape. The magical splint fixes all this, allowing you to effectively snipe/scan an area with a very reasonable amount of sway. So when in doubt and on the way to a kill or two, use a splint.
