I agree. 3PP scum.

You guys are some serious pack rats. Thanks for the loot!

Nice to see you guys are getting popular. I got whitelisted here several weeks ago and will try to get my homies to sign up as well.

Personally I enjoy a more hardcore experience. (Which is why I mainly play on Experimentals when they are up as they tend to be closer to what the devs envision) I was playing on ZAP until it became a hack fest and switched to FOG. The first day we played persistence was still on and it was tough finding loot and food. Our 3 man group met up in Kamyshovo and struggled our way north to Mysta and found a truck that we taxi'd up to Polana where we made a farm and grew some pumpkins (they're OP). It was a very fun survival experience; one that didn't just revolve around finding an AK and hunting players down. Of course this is what I prefer but the majority of the players gravitate towards a more casual run and gun type DayZ style so I understand why there are very few persistent 1pp private hives. I look forward to later in January when persistence is forced on all servers and the new anti-cheat is activated, when that occurs I'll have more options that suit me personally. It's a shame that it's not as active as it used to be but thats to be expected when changing IP's. I probably would have switched server 2 to the server 1 name when you switched over as to not confuse anyone about where its centralized.

If you're questioning my sanity look at my account creation date, I've been playing since the very earliest days of the original mod and have over 1500 hours logged. I know a hacker when I see one. I killed a Mr. Boots in Vybor and 5 minutes later he shows up speeding in circles around us in the middle of nowhere near Myshkino with only a MP-133 shotgun 9 rounds and the basic freshspawn t-shirt and jeans (which concludes that he did not get the debug Vybor spawn since players that get that location spawn in without the flashlight jeans and tshirt). I hit him with my double barrel shotgun and killed him he then left the server. I mean I don't really care if he gets banned I can always switch servers if I see him on but I figured I'd do a courtesy and let you guys know.

Heads up I killed a hacker named Mr. Boots twice tonight on your server and then he rage quit. (lols) Looks like he was running the basic speed hack and ESP. So if you see him on your server keep an eye out.

Server seems pretty dead after moving over to FOG 2. It's a shame.

This would be cool.

I can't wait for this, relying on hunting, farming, and fishing will be a glorious day. Finding cans of food or bags of rice should be a uncommon occurance. Considering with a real apocalypse those would be the first things gone from looting.

They do not restart that often and its certainly a "viable" mechanic if not as convenient as a bag of rice or preferred by most. Improvise, Adapt, Overcome

It's not? I spawned in 3 Valleys and walked to Polana finding no canned food. I found seeds, a farming hoe and fertilizer. I proceeded to use these things to make 600 tomatoes. This allowed me to loot then I found a machete, matches and shotgun shells for my shotgun and then I could hunt. And that was without even needing to eat at an apple tree or berry bush once.

Except for you know... the 20 million daytime only stable servers. :rolleyes:

Dude if people would adapt theres food all over the f'ing place. Just because you cant find a house with a kitchen full of food it doesnt mean its difficult. There are animals all over the map, one bag of tomato seeds can feed the entire server and you can fish for eternity from both the ponds and NOW the ocean. Still way too easy to survive.

I respectfully addressed your points. It's a shame you couldn't do the same without quoting me and editing it to favor your opinion. I just wanted a friendly discussion.

It was never mismanaged. Unless you believe Rocket planning to step down when the time is right since the Alpha release equates as mismanagement.
