How about we wait till it's actually released.

Hahahahahaha

I'll still jump on PvE servers and kill players, deal with it.

Actually it would actually mean more in death, but the whole reason to create this system. * Would be to solve server hopping and ghosting, of which would be a massive achievement in it-self.

People don't travel, they server hop.

Yep.... But alas, I am still waiting for the dream server... * 1st person only servers. * Characters being locked to a single server. Imagine looting places where the servers hoppers have not touched yet, it would be glorious!

There is no such thing as a better anti-cheat. There will always be a backdoor regarding hacking software. If you really want to prevent hackers from damaging games, then you might want to call up Bill Gates and have him fixes the gaps that he left in the Windows operating system.

Imagine the amount of hate mail he would have receive during Christmas break, tbh it even scares me,

That sad part is that you think your logic regarding cheating is ok. * The very least you admitted it being a cheap exploitative mechanic So it's ok if everyone started to use hacks in DayZ standalone, I mean if everyone started to use hacks it would be fair right? Would it be alright, in terms of your logic?

Now I am tempted to do this with two random fresh spawns.... lol

Oh please, and your going to make this community believe that you never used any voip program while you played DayZ. * This counts , Teamspeak, Skype, Ventrilo, Mumble, hell even Steam has a voip program. As for maps, I'll just use DayZDB. As for the realism .... yeah.... We have a 3rd person camera.

Really this discussion is quite pointless. Everybody understand the exploits and advantages of the 3rd person camera, a massive chunk of this community will never give it up. Since it's a tool that is heavily dependent among casual gamers, of which is not bad. Everyone has their own play style. Some people play the game in a fair way while others continue to exploit cheap advantages, its just a simple fact how the gaming world works. But as I said before, this discussion is quite honestly over. Rocket has said time and again, that the 3rd person camera will not be removed. If you want balanced pvp then go ahead and join a 1st person server. Otherwise leave the 3rd person community alone, let them play how they want to. I am quite sure they understand perfectly in how to utilize the tool. Tbh, I think the DayZ forum moderators have given up on shutting down 1st versus 3rd person threads. But I must say, I do appreciate that some people are interested in balanced pvp.

This is your aka explosive hacker trick. * Go to 47 sec http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2k3cVk8pPDQ

I personally wanted to thank the DayZ team in finally introducing private hive servers. * That of which saved the mod will greatly help the alpha. :thumbsup: Looking forward to the 1st person private hive servers, I am really excited. I could only imagine how much loot I will be able to find now that players will no longer be able to server hop and ghost versus other players. Hopefully some of the old popular private hives return with their white-lists and keep the hacking ips from those that did massive damage to the mod, out. While "combat logging" is a problem, I am sure the DayZ team will eventually add a combat timer. Just as they did in the mod. --- As for the public hive community being upset about the introduction of Private Hives. * Don't worry, you can still server hop and ghost other players until rocket removes the public hive system, of which is never going to happen. There are some players that actually want to travel chernarus and meet other players, instead of just meeting the server hopper at the various military buildings. Or being shot in the back from players of which are ghosting in your various engagements.

They could create an animation as if you just washed up on shore, from a ship wreck. It would then make more sense of the reason that your starting from the coast. What made people love the private servers is the variety of choices that players could choose. * Death-match servers * Casual Servers * Hardcore Servers * Sandbox Servers Not to mention that ghosting / server hopping were resolved. * Some server had measures to go against combat logging. But the problem was mostly hard to detect thank to the "Alt+F4" combat loggers.

As long as its not connected to the public hive, I seriously don't mind the private server.

Not all private server have a white-list system in place. * BMRF community became very popular due the white-list system of which protected hundreds of DayZ players back when hackers destroyed the public hive in the mod. History is just repeating it-self. * The public hive will dwindle and the private server will become number one again. If not the private hives, the DayZ mod would have been dead.

1 ) Server Hopping 2 ) Combat Logging 3 ) Hacker Security This is what I'd prioritize to fix.

Will there be mana pots to cast magic!?

I am quite sure there are people that simply KOS since the game has the freedom for the player to do so. But the constant use of exiting the game before a threat is becoming simply immersion breaking, after a while of various armed players approaching to role play with various players. Do you think they would rather talk and rob you or just flat out shoot you? * Exiting the game will only encourage players to shoot 1st and ask questions later. Because you can simply exit the game and escape a desperate situation, thus denying to give players your loot. I am personally trying to play the role of an actual bandit, walk to players and steal some supplies but not killing them. But the current system does not encourage this system at all. * This gif represents the overall DayZ community as a whole if a threat is spotted, as for players playing the game fair. That number is vanishing quite quickly. http://gfycat.com/UniqueGlisteningKittiwake# For those that think that using this feature is the right call in evading bandits on the beach, I am sorry to say your going to regret that decision quite quickly. After the majority of the community is going to log when they ever see a threat, bandits / murderers will just take the killing shot to take gear and not bother to role-play. Since players will try anything to stay alive, that means abusing the games system.

This is basically it, don't bother to role-play because the game punishes that action. * If you really want to obtain gear, don't talk just shoot.

Exactly, it seems people have completely forgotten what combat logging meant. * Back in the mod, to prevent someone from logging you would shot in the area next to the enemy player. This system mechanic would prevent players from logging in the middle of an actual gun fight. But to get around that mechanic people could just simply "Alt+F4", that was known as "combat logging".

That is what I am trying to say, but it seems people don't understand the term "combat logging".

How is that gif combat logging!? He didn't even shoot the guy.

Being shot at and then logging is combat logging. * Did you play the classic mod by any chance? The only time the combat timer would prevent you from leaving is when your being shot at. If you saw a group of heavily armed players approach your position but haven't shot yet, you can simply log to escape the desperate situation.
