Shrapnel (DayZ)

Response. Nuff said.

Well the problem is, it might have been scripted in in the first place. I dont think Rocket would sneak in a rocket launcher for any reason.. Though if you do blast down a building, record it and make sure the rest of us cant enjoy it as well. :D

On that note, it is the single most useless item. You will never find ammo for it unless its scripted in (which is against the rules..) and only takes up inventory space. Best idea? Drop it in the ocean and hope it floats away before someone finds it.

Batteries. Nuf said. Time limit for NVGs before you gatta find more batteries? 10 minutes of use. You turn the NVGs on for 2 minutes to mark your destination at night or loot a house, you have 8 minutes left. I dont know how hard of a mechanic this would be to add, but it would sure as hell nerf the NVGs without getting rid of them completely.

Agreeing: - Snow-Camo - New Clothes - More/New Animals - Easter Eggs Adding: - Hostile Animals in the Woods. It would make camping more fun!

Another person downloads and runs a script, then flys to the DayZ forums screaming that his key was stolen. Fascinating...

The poor newbie wants his stuff back after getting killed? TO FUCKING BAD! The point of DayZ is to live as if its your only life, removing the "Hide Body" function would allow people like you to gain their stuff back as if nothing happened. Maybe missing a can of beans or something. My opinion on this suggestion is that your simply tired of dieing and not being able to get your items back, forcing you to restart. Most people would agree that its a good thing, and some will argue because they have fallen victim of the Scorched Earth tactic. All i have to say is tough sit, try again next time. And don't try to lie and deny the obvious, please, you look bad enough already.

Oh look! Another idiot who doesnt use the search function, and makes the 500000th thread about this topic... Rockets working out how to balance the PvP/PvE Ratio.. Just be patient.

There was a thread similar to this a while ago, and Rocket said there were similar Legit scripts that were run by the server that looked like this. Although a script that is used to cheat, uses the same legitament script, only forced and is considered hacking. Keep an eye on this player in your logs, and if he starts getting lots of ammo, or a ton of rare gear at once, that should indicate hes using an illegal script. Make sure you have a solid base of evidence over a long period of time before taking any action against the player.

Someones mad that they lost there beans.. Rocket is already figuring out ways to equalize the PvP aspect of the game without fucking it up. Thread is useless.

Another one? Bandits must be having fun right now..

Players that have gone inland are either well-geared and prepared to live off animals and refillable water bottles, or are looking for loot in the risky places like Stary Sobor, NorthWest Airfield, etc. The reason they are defensive is becuase the well-geared player is trying to stay alive as long as possible, And the person looking for loot doesnt want to make the long trek all the way back north again. Of course there are other reasons, but those ones are the main two.

Ive bought multiple games since i was VAC Banned, such as Garry's Mod. Since Garry's Mod dosnt use VAC, i am still allowed to play Multiplayer. In-fact, i own and run a community and Gmod server. Seeing as VAC is only limited to Source games, and MW2/3, making another account would be pointless because i don't play CSS or other Source games anymore. Also, You cant really stop people who have been VACd from joining your server, some people play DayZ through Steam, but many others use a Launcher, like SixUpdater, ArmAII Launcher, or other programs of that type, essentially disconnecting there Steam Account from ArmAII, because it dosnt show up that your playing ArmAII. The only way you can know if someone is VACd, is if they tell you, or they tell you there Steam Name.

Im VAC Banned for something stupid i did with a group of people i played with on CSS, i was young and naive at the time, thinking i was never going to get caught. Obviously i was caught. Since then ive not touched another hack, cheat, script, glitch, exploit, etc. Ive been playing games legitamently since that incident, I never made another account. Your basicaly assuming that just because hes hacked in the past on a Source game, that he hacks on ArmAII as well? And you want him banned from DayZ based on an assumption? Dont get me wrong, some people dont learn, but I dont think that would be fair at all to the people who actually did learn from their mistake.

nope, head north and live happy. deal with bandits, they are a part of the game.

Im not sure about the rest of you guys, but my Carebear detection alarm has been driving me crazy. The suggestion board is filled with: "Make Bandits show up on the map! Punish them!" or "Make NPC Traders that travel!" or "Add more powerful weapons and easier to find!" or Some other random and stupid shit. I understand that everyone has the right to make a suggestion, but what makes people think that adding bigger guns, asking for God to smite Bandits for killing people, and adding MMORPG features would even be considered? This is a Hardcore Zombie Apocalypse Simulator, made to be hard, and its Going to get harder. If any of you carebears are reading this right now, i want you to grow some fucking balls and help improve current game mechanics instead of spitting out ideas that go against the games theme. TL;DR = This is my rant on idiots posting the most fucking retarded ideas ever, if you post against it, prepare for an argument. Again, GROW SOME FUCKING BALLS! Or quit and go back to your cookie-cutter games. EDIT: Since people dont read all the pages, im going to put this in the OP.

Im guessing you never even read anything in the last 10 pages? Get the fuck off my thread since your to fucking lazy to see the entire picture.

Wow, Again people miss the entire point of this thread... How many more times do i have to say it? Here, ill put it in the OP so you fuckers can read it. Since you obviously cant take the time to skim through the 10 pages. This thread is the result of the overwhelming stupidity of the players making outlandish suggestions in the suggestion board, You might think that its not a problem, but here is why it IS a problem. 1.) For every Good suggestion, there is about 50 - 100 horrible ones. You really think Rocket has the time time to sift through all that bullshit to find that one good post? No. People start getting pissed because Rocket is taking longer and longer until an update, forcing him to push an unfinished update, and causing more issues. 1.7.1.3/4 was an example. 2 hotfixes within 10 hours..? Slow the fuck down. 2.) Duplicates.. Fucking really? There are almost 100 threads PURely about the Bandit Skin, Bandit Punishment, or anything else relating to the Bandit. Not to mention any other major game mechanic people want to change so it makes it easier. This has gotten way out of hand, people play DayZ and find something, have an epiphany, fly to the forums and dont even bother using the search function, start a new thread about bandit punishment. Thats just plain laziness, and the forum moderators dont do shit about it, maybe a slap on the wrist and 1 warning point. WOODEEFUCKINGDOO! He got a warning point, and yet the thread still exists.. Again that dosnt just apply for Bandit Punishment threads, was just an example. 3.) Troll Suggestions, or not? Theres been a recent spike of these suggestions that have been completely... whats the word... FUCKING STUPID. You want meteor showers every 5 minutes? You want NPC Assasins in white robes to attack you randomly in the woods? You want to be able to rape other players? You want wheelchairs so you can wheel around cherno? You want sports cars? You want EndGame? You want NPC traders? The list goes on... Honestly these suggestions are one of two things, trolls trying to start shit. Or stupid people wanting stupid things. These posts are a problem for one simple reason, they drown out the good suggestions, which ties into reason #1. I hope this opens some of your eyes to the real issue, and the true reason i made this thread.

You touched on the problem at hand here' date=' 'spam the forums'. We weren't suggesting that people cannot post their ideas, we were simply asking that 1) Post your suggestions in the SUGGESTIONS forum, that's where they go 2) Don't suggest something wildly outlandish outside the scope of the game itself, i.e. the posts about horses and, no joke, a multi-page thread about adding rape to the game 3) Make an outline and pin it at the top of the forums, enforce the rules. We don't need 100 topics about the bandit system, limited spawn items, loot spawns, etc. It's been done before, rocket tried to stem it with his 20 words or less threads but it doesn't work when they aren't stickied. We aren't asking for much, just a bit of house cleaning. [/quote'] Aaron, i couldn't have said it better myself. This is EXACTLY what needs to happen. Again for people who missed it, This thread is NOT to discourage people from making suggestions, there just needs to be some rules set to prevent stupidity from overwhelming the Suggestions Board.

You see, People take a look at this thread and think "Oh its just another 'hate-on-the-newbies' Thread without logic or thought" When the reason for posting this is to bring all the smart people here to discuss the bullshit going on about the suggestions, Everything up until page 4 is rant, after that it gets good, turns into an actual conversation with solid points and interesting facts. Until now nobody had the balls to post something like this, and because i posted this, i got a 40% warning level! I took a hit to point out the bullshit, what have you done? Complain that a zombie killed you? I thank all the logical people that have followed the thread and stuck by there word. I will check the thread in the morning. Goodnight.

If you read some of my previous posts, i mention exactly what you just said, again you people forget to read the entire thread before posting! Seriously...?

Im not taking sides on either the PvE or PvP players, sure ive killed in self defense, ive also killed for fun. Your assuming that because i post hate against the people who post anti-pvp suggestions that im some "uber bandit with pr0 wepaons and gear sitting in cherno camping newbies." Well im not, im the person playing the game for the fun of the hardcore survival aspect. Im open to suggestions, as long as they dont degrade the hardcore survival aspect. My opinion is my own, and it seems that many share the same interests.
