The problem is that people have TOO MUCH control over what they can and can't do in their servers now, what used to be cool about DayZ is the fact that Day and Night happened - then the babies came along and made day only servers. I personally think night time is one of the best things in DayZ, spare NVG, I think they ruin night time completely. The fact I can't find any server running normal day/night is depressing, they are all either day only or day only when people play, I loved going around with my friends with different coloured chemlights on us to differentiate each other. It adds so many depths that day time just can not offer. There was a few problems with night time, and no, pitch blackness was NOT one of them, mainly zombies seeing you as if it was day, hackers, and NVG. (I know hackers will be there in day too, but at night they are even more ridiculous, at least if you 1HKO a godmoder, they die.) Obviously the main problem at first was the fact that you can server hop to daytime servers, but a lot of people still played at night time. You see all these private hive servers that start you with a sniper, NVGs with FULL MOON NIGHTS (lolwuuuuut????) and biggest backpacks etc. That isn't DayZ at all, it's basically CoD. Now there is so many babies on DayZ that any old server which just wants to play how the game should be played has literally no players on it, because most the people who want what I just said are forced to play on said baby-catering servers. /endrant

- Name Aeia - Location UK - GUID 1fddc9c8d1a290e4c1f686d8b3c783c3 - Want a good whitelist server to play on with a few friends... this one is very active and the scripts your server is using is just what we want!

That other guy is making it out that there's no proof, so I'm refreshing his memory. GTFO idiot.

Until they restart the server the moment you take the first shot.

The server is linked to the master server, if this group of people want to play together without hackers, they should password it. This kind of thing WILL NOT WORK when they are restarting the server after being picked off by two legit snipers!! Go back to around page 5 or 6 I believe, where it's one guy aiming his L85 at the head of one of the 'colony', for 10 min there's no problem with the server, then as soon as he gets capped, the server loses connection? Yeah okay. Stop backing them up because they helped you when that isn't even part of the problem, the problem is they are abusing admin to ban/kick 'hackers' when they don't have proof (which is massively against the rules)

Oh right, nevermind then, still got that video from a few pages back where the server magically disconnects the second their little scrub colony gets under attack ;)

Ice, I hope when I make the thread on the report forum you will be there to back me up with your evidence, they can't ban you for something they put in the game themselves!! (trading) You can't get banned for stealing even if you did, the server admins just bought a server and think they can do whatever they want, as if all the servers aren't linked up or something.

I don't hack, I don't condone hacking, and I never will hack. Go and read the 'server rules' made by rocket. YOU ARE NOT ALLOWED TO KICK SOMEONE UNLESS YOU HAVE 100% SOLID PROOF THEY ARE HACKING. You can't kick based on an assumption, and you also can't turn off the server because your buddy died/you are being shot at (which there is already solid video proof of said thing happening.) On the same token you can't kick someone because they shot you, either. Also; it's kinda funny you call me ignorant, when you instantly start assuming I am part of whatever it was that went down, that kinda makes you the ignorant one, I am simply gathering facts about this corrupt server to get it blacklisted so we don't have idiots like the admins here running around with their own business, so I am the opposite of what you tried to brand me as thank you very much.

"At this point, the admin restarted the server and kicked everyone that was not in our group" Cheers for giving me a bit of proof to get this server blacklisted mate, you aren't allowed to do that. You are sealing your 'new friends' servers fate :D any more stories where they did such a thing?

Hope your failure of a server gets blacklisted for all the admin abuse you guys use, don't bother quoting or responding to me with the fact that everyone you ban use hacks, you guys suck dick at this game hence why you opened this colony - for more failures to meet up with each other. I will be on later with a few friends to raid your shit, frapsing it all. 100 dollars on server restarts or we get banned for hacking/whatever you retards can find an excuse for, also - bring all your script kiddies with you, they can spot positions for you anyday. If you're gonna ban 'hackers' - ban your own while you are at it, wait, I forgot you all suck at the game and can't do without them.

Nono, it wasn't the weapons that they had that were bad; it's the fact they were utter crap at aiming them. They put a clip in us both first and only broke our legs.

Walked to Stary the other day with a mate, we were gearing up for a bit, I had an AKM (since they drop as often as empty cans there) and my friend an m16. Low and behold, two guys rush us both with M4 silenced, I kill both of them, we get good guns, and conveniently, they happen to have all the parts needed for the car that spawns there! Silly rabbits.

If you ban mindlessly, I hope you are removed from the hive master server. This gives you an unfair advantage over other people because you can go and farm NWAF for anything you want, lets say NVG, and go terrorize other servers. If you want somewhere that only your friends can play, password your server (which will again remove you from the master server but this is the only option for you)

Hilarious thing is, this is a more legit way to ban people (albeit innocent) than 3/4 the server admins out there that ban the server when their little precious pink van of doom gets stolen with all their phat loots in it. But still, no.

No one cares.

That is exactly how it'll work in a real life apocalypse. Today I was at Stary with one friend, I'm the lookout, I see two guys running from quite far away towards the area, I kill both of them, why? Because they're a threat. gun or not (they had guns anyway but no need to bring it in to this point). In real life, you are not going to just 'accept' people to your group, unless your group is the one that's on the brink of death and you have no choice. It's a lot easier to not accept new people than it is to accept them. I already had a gun before I went to look for loot, but it again wouldn't matter either. First come first serve on DayZ, and I was the first one to get there, and first one to serve their death.

Of course I am entitled to it, my gun entitles me. In the DayZ world the bigger your gun the more power you have generally. It's the wrong place at the wrong time for someone around when I'm looting if they're unarmed, have fun respawning. That's how the game should and will remain, not mindlessly sitting on a cliff killing freshies when they come back. Also yes, it happens to me too, one guy saw me behind him a bit in a field just outside Elektro, he didn't shoot me (I was unarmed). The second I set foot into the fire station and was about to pick myself a Lee Enflied up off the ground, he blew my brains out, the way it should work.

If someone's trying to come to an area I'm in, unarmed, say for instance the guy a few posts ago to a firestation - I'll blow their head off. Why? Because it is my loot, they aren't getting geared up from an area I'm exploring. I couldn't care if you shout 'DONT SHOOT BRO IM UNARMED' - you're still in an area which has potential loot for me, that M1911 on the floor you think you deserve somehow because you're unarmed, I'll be taking that thank you very much. Only thing I don't condone is shooting fresh spawns on the coast. As it is I'm afraid shoot on sight is the only way to play this game, you can't trust anyone because there's no telling when a weapon will respawn near you and they pick up said weapon and shoot you in the head and steal yo pepsi.

Don't like the current system - as someone said above less loot more often will be the key. I hate farming Stary or NWAF for items, it'd be nice for more places for loot to spawn, and more places for 'better' things to spawn.

You knew you weren't buying DayZ when you bought the game, so in other words, if you expect the standalone (IF it costs) to be handed to you for free, you're madly mistaken. You bought ArmA, NOT DayZ - DayZ is simply an addon, don't even say 'but i only play DayZ on it!' it doesn't matter, I could buy Team Fortress 2 (back in the day) only to play the zombie mode, doesn't mean I'm gonna get any standalone version for free, since the core of the game is still Team Fortress 2 and not zombies.

I don't speak to anyone over direct chat, the directional audio in this game is too good, they'll know exactly where I am. Shoot them first then loot later, then ask questions. It's how it is in DayZ - if you're here to make friends, you're gonna have a bad time.

Oops sorry, I misread :P Not very experienced with the CryEngine - it could work, but people will need a high end pc to play the game (in an ideal world this game shouldn't have multiple render distances, else someone with max render will always kill someone without max render if the latter has 'fog' blocking them from seeing the former person, which will cause a lot of whining.)

Because what's stopping those people making their pvp free server to abuse for weapons without threat of people killing them, then going to a server where they can kill people with the weapons they obtained care-free. If such a thing were to be added, you'd have to have separate characters for pvp and non-pvp servers to stop it happening... but then some people will whine if they accidentally make a character on a non-pvp server and need to restart, so it shouldn't be done. Live with it.

Can't think of any MMO's using the latest Unreal engine off the top of my head, can you name some? The biggest I can think of using the engine would be platformer games, HOWEVER, they are not truly open so the developers can 'cheat' with the resources, whereas with this game absolutely everything is open-world.
