A lot of the group action has been stalled since the tents don't seem to work right. Our camp was raided and we are just treading water now until we can set a new one. When the tent issue is settled you will see more group action because stockpililng and vehicle repair will become more common. If it was possible to have a carebear server that was not connected to the real servers then I would be all for have a children's section of DayZ for those who simply can't deal with the dark brutality of the real game. As far as the vast majority goes, it seems there is only one or two people advocating for a dumbed-down version and yet they feel that they speak for the "silent minority" that rage quits. I say " FUCK the silent minority". If you can't be bothered to stand up and be heard why should anyone give a shit what you think ? 105K + unique players (9751 bandits ) .....seems like it is working just fine the way it is since the percentage of bandits has dropped in relation to the overall population.

It most certainly does exist. If I choose to shoot you then my position has been given away and I am now vulnerable to other players. There is also the distinct possibility that you ( the victim ) are not alone and will now direct your friends to my position to kill me. ( done that twice already myself ) I will grant you that helping some random guy is unlikely but it does happen.

You feel that 10% is high ? I think at least 2-5% of those bandits got that way out of self defense, I know that is how I got my skin. I don't think even 10% of players seeking purely to kill is a high proportion for this game.

You are wasting your breath Dinnj. These are the kids that got the computer they are playing Dayz with by whining and crying ad infinitum. It worked on Mommy but they still have been able to grasp the fact that it doesn't work in the real world. Dayz is the real world. I have no leet skillz and I survive 2 or 3 days at a time. Then I do something stupid like walk away while I'm loading in only to return and find myself dead. Or ...I hook up with some carebears and try to help new players and I'm promptly murdered in an urban area----------> total surprise. I love this game because your twitch shooting skills mean almost nothing here and your ability to think and most of all to WAIT is what keeps you alive. I have played a few other mods and everyone one of them had the same whining bitches with the same refrain. "If you don't do this and this then this mod is going to fail" One of those mods is 6 years old now and the other is approaching 1 year and they aren't dead yet. True, Dayz has robbed all the players from all the other ARMA2 mods. I wonder why ? Is it because all of those people have no skills and need to shoot people in the back to get kills ? Somehow I don't think that is what is drawing people to this mod and sending ARMA2 sales rocketing up the sales charts.

Instead trying of act smart, why not pay attention to the red line under words that indicates you can't spell ? I don't giving a flying fuck about his argument. My comment was about the game, not some bullshit study, so refuting that argument would be pointless. Prevention doesn't stop hackers and cheaters. Banning them does. I think he is a cheater and he is here whining because he got caught, but I can't prove it. The same as he can't prove he wasn't cheating when he got caught with multibarreled aircraft cannon he simply didn't know wasn't part of a zombie survival game that starts you out with a pissy lil pistol and a few cans of beans.

Please explain to me where I am wrong. I quoted you - verbatim - above' date=' saying that it's going to become a deathmatch because you're going to make it a deathmatch. Please explain where [i']I failed to understand rather than you failed to make your point clearly. Let me translate for you TKJ. What he said was " WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAhh WaaaaaaaaaaaaH blubber blubber sniffle .......waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhh" The proof is in the numbers. 88,261 unique players of whom only 8150 are bandits. I'm not positive of this but I'm pretty sure the percentage has stayed about 10% end up as bandits. It is pretty simple, spawn-> run straight into the woods and keep going until you find something north of the coast or west if you spawn on the east coast. Crawl around zeds and use the free look often and you won't have many problems with them and most of all, be patient. The 13th commandment "Thou shalt look around" is always in effect because bandits and hungry/sick/wounded survivors are indistinguishable. As they should be. Stop crying.

My psych profile has been classified since 1984.

So says some lefty crybaby. Simple fact is that nobody is going to pick up exotic weapons now. In your fucked up universe however, all those who cheated would be counseled so they could better understand why it is a bad thing to cheat in a multi-player game. And then those same assholes would come right back and do it again. It is sad if a few people got banned because of their ignorance of the game, but it isn't some tragedy that will bring down the mod or any such horseshit. Life sucks and that is a common theme in Dayz, so man the fuck up and get over it.

It seems like very few people got banned for this and I suspect most of the people here complaining about unfair bans are probably people who either bought the hacks and got caught or are friends of the cheaters. It would be a shame if a few truly innocent players got banned but I hardly think it is giving Dayz a bad reputation. There are 80,000 players now, give or take a few ....bad rep eh ? And Prevention is never better than Punishment.....bullshit lefty concept that has been repeatedly proven not to work. spare the rod, spoil the child

Trans-dimensional combat is part of this mod. IF you can do it in a timely fashion it is fantastic but I wuold bet that 99% f the time you try it it will fail. I love this idea ! Yes, it is just like ARMA PvP but totally different in terms of wounds and weapons. If there is some kind of open sign up for this, then sign me up.

I think what Kirvin did was fantastic. The idea that people will do that is a wonderful addition to the game. However, I hope Kirvin has learned a lesson about the basic rule of this game,"Trust but verify". The fact that there is somebody who will to lay their digital life on the line to serve others is worth his weight in gold and I would be very surprised if Kirvin has not been invited to several groups already. My opinion on banditry and PK has "evolved". The people who shot him were idiots, IMHO, because they missed and made so much noise. I would have thrown tin cans at him until he died ;D. I don't have a bandit skin and I have only shot 1 player for "lulz" but I have been present and ready to kill on many raids so while I wear survivor's skin, I am in no way "friendly". Griefers or scumbags, as many people have labelled them, are a part of the game and in turn so are the groups that specialize in hunting them on the coast while providing support and assistance to new players. If everyone was a carebear the game would be boring even if the zombie count were raised to 5,000 just the same as it would be if everyone was a bandit. I still have lapses of carebearism when it comes to outright deceiving people but I'm sure another week or so will wear off the remaining thin veneer of civilization and allow me to fully explore the limits of the unbelievable game. I want to thank Rocket and everyone else that has helped me on this journey of digital self-discovery.

My name is MasterCaution and I am a recovering Carebear. I didn't like the idea of shooting people because they might be a threat but 40+ hours has changed my mind considerably. I won't shoot you if that action may compromise me in any way but other than that, if I see you in my AO you are dead. I probably won't loot you because that might compromise my safety but even 1 can of beans is enough reason to kill you if I think I might need them in the future. Server-hopping or trans-dimensional combat as I like to call, is part of the game but the TS betrayals seem over the top for me and I do question the real life morality of anyone that would do that. It sucks for players new to ARMA and who have no friends playing with them but natural selection will force people to make new friends and group up and given that fact, I wll probably have to give up my ethical objections to TS betrayals because that seems like a logical growth of the game. In real life, I too would murder anyone I saw and I thought perhaps I could role-play a white knight ( much better image than a carebear ) but it seems that chivalry is truly dead if it could be said to have actually ever existed in the first place. I do have to laugh at the concept that ANYTHING will stop this mod from growing like a weed because yesterday was a clusterfuck with the servers and people I know spent at least several hours trying to connect before giving up. I don't know many games that engender that level of loyalty and the fact that it is a game you got for FREE makes it all the more amazing.

If the problems are your fault then good things you have done with this mod far, far outweigh any minor problems. Thank you !

asinine ? Paranoid might be a better word but again you need to lay the blame where it belongs, on the little shits who buy hacks. They are the reason people get banned. If you want to help, let your fellow players know that picking up an advanced weapon is a risk.If you are picking up an aircraft mounted multi-barrel cannon it should be painfully obvious that it does not belong in the game. If you are in doubt, then ask or even better, inform yourself as to the rules and regulations of the game you are playing. If you walked on to a basketball court and round-housed kicked another player in the face, do you think the excuse " I didn't know it wasn't allowed" would be any comfort ?

I had trouble getting in yesterday but I only got the debug forest once out of at least 10 connections yesterday( multiple server crashes ). I regard that time as specialized ninja training rather than waiting.

All I did was congratulate him on insane. I mean insane in the context that you behave like a total asshole and then make up some reason to excuse it. And then you believe your own bullshit. If you come on TS then you are talking to me as a real person. If you then choose to betray me it is a real life betrayal, not a game mode. Those are the actions of a total asshole and if, by chance, that asshole were to come to some harm in the real world, then wouldn't that be a damn shame ?

...and some children want to pretend to be those men +1

I just enjoy hating on scumbags who rob and kill. Make no mistake, you have made a choice to role-play a total scumbag and some of you don't seem to be role-playing. In the end, you are just parasites, living off the player base because without non-scumbags, it would just be a really boring deathmatch.

I think some of things you listed are pretty shitty and I personally don't kill people unless they shoot at me first. Killing other players in the game, by whatever means is legal, is part of the game AFAIK. Daedrick is making up his own set of rules and judging other by them. He tell us "I will know that I did a lot better than you did, and thats a fact." because that fits his fantasy and that is fine. We are here to have fun and if making up rules that only you obey makes your gaming experience more empowering, then more power to you. Personally, I feel like some weird old hippy pacifist because I don't want to prey on other players but that is my fantasy. A fantasy where i don't kill everyone I see out of sheer paranoia or fear I might lost my precious toolkit. I like hating bandits because it's realistic. Everyone in real life hates scumbags that steal your shit.

""playable content and replayability just hasn't even been considered. "" I can't wait until those things are considered because so far it has been fantastic.
