Started playing around the time the mod became really popular, about when the revolver was taken out, I forget... First game spawned in and I heard gunshots from the distance in the trees, I follow the sound and find a guy with an Enfield sniping and some other player, this was before bandits were a thing, I crept up and killed him with my pistol, took about 6 shots, picked up the Enfield then the server crashed, doh. Dayz was unlike anything I had ever played in over 25 years of gaming, I knew it was something special right from the start.

The lack of progress in general, its all well increasing the zombie threat and taking away focus on PVP, but think about why PVP became such large scale in the first place-Removal of the bandit skin triggered it but the bigger issue was that there really wasn't anything else to do other than shoot people, nothing has changed in this regard and thats why I mentioned WL and base building btw. I lasted 164 days on the old public hives, before we had servers, it was a totally different ball game back then, now I see guys join my server and not last 10 minutes, the balance is off I think. High hopes for SA :)

Hi Matt, Lee, We are having a problem with the database on uk31, we started using the TSW tool as an easy way of creating vehicle spawn points, but once the server is restarted all the vehicles we created are gone yet they still show in TSW and still show in the database. If you try to remove a vehicle with the TSW tool you get an error about the database. Also teleporting and a few other features just don't work, I contacted the TSW guy and he said there is something wrong with the server and to contact you. Please look at this when you get chance, I believe Simon is sending in a ticket. Thanks.

Thanks for the encouragement, I am trying to get things moving again.

It's a crappy yet great job at the same time, hard to explain but I remember hating the hacking that used to go on but looking back those were the best times, so many players come and gone, so many great games, even if dayz dissapeared tomorrow it will never be forgotten by many.

Thanks for your inputs. Never meant to bitch just raise some issues and it wasn't all about my server.

Because a key feature of wasteland is base building, why would you even question this suggestion, something that was meant to be in dayz no ? Something we have done to reduce popularity ? how do you think we became popular in the first place ?, because we know a thing or two perhaps. Lastly, I didn't say YOU split the mod up, but was there any attempt to stop it ?, this fragmentation happened because of the other mods, you cannot deny that.

Is there still a public hive to play on ?

Big fucking deal, the hackers just ain't caught up with you yet. My oldest was 164 on public not the cushie private.

The hero skin. once a i met a guy and he threw down his weapon at my feet because he saw that i was a hero, this is just one example of the way player behaviour can change and the power of humanity and skins in this game should not be underestimated. Now can you tell me if the hero skin has been nerfed ?, originally it gave you faster running speed, quiet footsteps and and some damage resistance, but i seem to remember at some point these buffs were gone, please tell me its not been nerfed. Also my humanity reset to 2500 after a few days of it being much higher, so progress was lost, not sure if intentional or bug or our server guy screwing around, is humanity recording properly ? thx

When I first started playing arma/ dayz I found it rather bizarre that the game offered 3rd person view on anything other than a vehicle, after all this is meant to be a sim. Make it like battlefield, 3rd person only in vehicle, problem solved. I'm sure there would be many tears though.

If you need to ask yourself that question then the job of admin is not for you.

Ok- Zombies still glitch though walls after all this time. Tents are broken again Humanity is broken again. Hero skin broken/nerfed Weapons nerfed, pistols and SMGs combat ineffective against players, 5.56 weapons nerfed. As50. /m107 still in game. Temperature feature broken/removed. Zombies cause damage to player inside vehicle even when vehicle is in motion, ie, running over the zombie that is causing the damage to you. Still no base building features. Still no improved spawn system. Still no areas of interest other than the airfields. Nighttime is not a feature it should be. Too much focus on weapons and gear, added all those new weapons and removed none. Lots of zombies, nothing to kill them with except hatchet, or maybe Enfield + 10 rounds. No stanag brounds in industrial areas or anywhere but spawn in stores ? Maybe baracks.... Removed peripheral dots without,any poll or discussion, maybe I missed it. Refueling vehicles is a stupid operation, some places have fuel others not. Vehicles are a coffin on wheels. Not enough vehicles on map. No satisfaction in killing zombies, needs improved/ interesting death animations. Delayed death when shooting zombies including head shots. Cannot eat inside vehicle. Cannot fire weapon inside vehicle. Weapon cursor/ x hair is a global setting, should be per weapon. Bandit skin should override all other skins. Scoreboard broken. Debug monitor removed. Zombies only exist/spawn around structures, should be done like namalsk. Quitting the game is a pain in the ass. Game or mod has no fun factor. 90% PVP at least because theres nothing more to do. And there's probably much more I can't think of right now.

Just remove that shit, problem solved. You can kill anything with an m14, even a vehicle, what more do you want.

So it's true. This mod really is a piece of shit, and I do not say this lightly.

If you had been around long enough you would know what happened early on in the mod.

So rocket might want to think about that, is the bandit skin enough Give us a working humanity system and many problems will be solved.

Can anyone confirm whether humanity over 2500 lasts more than a few days without resetting ?

As far as i can tell the mod is going nowhere, this is simply rockets playground, i don't mind that, just right now it feels like there is little reason to play, everythings broken or features promised/removed and never implemented. We get something great like a working ttemperature factor, then its removed. i just hope all the good stuff is going into SA. Hate to be negative, but dayz got boring as fuck.

Actually does'nt go far enough. Arma + Cod + Zombies ? no thanks. If there were anything else to do except PVP the changes would not be so bad, ie, what happened to base building feature ? and the rest ?, shit right now you can't even use a tent.

An Invisible hacker with an L85 thermal, killed the other two guys i was with and almost killed me, i got away with broken bones, rolled into cover, healed myself, every time i tried to get eyes on the guy i got shot at again, i knew he was invisible because i also had the same thermal weapon, guy was moving around but not showing on the scope. Still don't know how i survived that.

Some games provide anti-camping features, dayz won't i doubt.
