Why kill people when you can just find their tents? There is zero challenge in the game with little to no effort involved in getting gear. Ontop of that, there's no point at all in tryign to survive.

They're no-skill noob weapons that a lot of useless bandits love to have so they suck a little less. Yeah, I've had an AS50. I longer want one. Nor do I want them in the game. It lets little kids like yourself kill without risk, and you jsut love that.

wat Do I have to write angry stuff and QQ to get responces?

TL;DR - More fun! There is no challenge or excitement in PvE. Every time I respawn, I just run into town, loot everything I need and I'm set. All the best gear I've gotten has been from the massive amounts of tents there are, and the gear that is hoarded and duped in them. I have never found PvP useful to my gearing up, not a single time, because it's a troublesome and much less productive way of gearing up. When I have the gear I need, there's a very limited amount of things I can do. 1. PvP, killing for the sake of killing. 2. Avoid PvP, surviving for as long as possible. Why I'd want to do that I don't know. 3. Farm and hoard items like everyone else, like this is World of Dayzcraft. 4. Go batshit, training zombies and the like. The problem is that even as these choices excist, they're not fun at all. There is no challenge. There is no reason to actually do anything. There is no risk, making the rewards utterly trivial. What could be better? A great change would be to have a serious look at what weapons that can be used. As I've used rifles as the M107 and AS50 to kill people, I can attest to how unfair and boring it is. The removal or serious limitation of these or all sniper rifles would make for a more intense game that makes people get into close quarters situations. A greater amount of such situations would mean different player behavior and probably much more fun engagements with a bigger chance of fighting back. It would vastly increase the risk of engaging in PvP and perhaps lessen how often people are willing to engage in it. Along with such a change, you would have to solve the ALT+F4 situation. Giving a logout timer or simply not disconnecting a persons character right away on an ALT+F4 (making them killable several seconds after attempted shutdown escape) would also highly affect the way people engage in PvP. It would require caution and thought, the risk would be much greater and the willingness to fight back would also be greater. In other words: More fun! But ofcourse we have, last but not least, duping and item inflation. High grade military equipment is laughably accessible and great problem. The greater your weaponry and equipment, the greater your power. This goes hand in hand with removing sniper rifles or severely reducing their number. Less powerful weapons means more thought, caution and tactics has to go into your gameplay. Reducing the amount high grade military items and preventing duping along with hacking, would also equals MORE FUN! I have yet to touch the subject of fixign PvE though. That might be the easiest one to tackle, in all honesty. Different type zombies, wild animals and base building are things I've heard are being considered and they would be good additions. I'm not sure I could give any good input or advice for what could make PvE more interesting and a bigger part of the game. Maybe I'll do another thread on that some other time. This is what I believe would make Day-Z a much better experience. This is an alpha, and I know there will be a standalone, so this is what constructive criticism I could offer for the development. Some of these things might come off as really obvious, but I felt a need to express them regardless. Ofcourse, this is a forum and more opinions is what's good.

I stopped playing because it's really really really boring and easy.

The running is the worst part. All that fucking running, endlessly through empty forests. Yeah, I'm tired of it. And I sure as fuck ain't gonna take a vehicle, that's like slapping a big "SHOOT ME PLX" on me.

I have -18k humanity and I have it. Well, I have a ghillie again but when I'm freshly spawned I have it.

Where's the "Nothing at all" option? Because I bought 2 games to be able to play this mod. I'm not gonna pay over 10 bucks for ANOTHER game. If you could give a discount for people who bought ARMA2:CO that would be great. If not, then I could just as well buy War Z to get something fresh, bugfree and different so I don't have to pay twice to get the same game. Rocket says he wants it to go the Minecraft model. That will be impossible by now, because we've already had to purchase this game once, in a sense. I didn't have to buy Minecraft twice. And you're suggesting that we should have to pay for alpha, beta and finished product of the standalone separetly by the looks of this poll? Considering there is no option for not paying, that's all I can assume. That's just fucked up mate. I fucking hope that's not what you're suggesting. That'd be some greedy shit.

I see you compensate for your small penis with a big signature image. That, and I have no idea why you have such difficulty reading. School must be terrible these days. If you went there.

Guys, don't ruin it. Whoever actually falls for this deserves it.

Rule #1 of Day-Z, don't get attached to your gear, you will die a lot. You probably got sniped. The ARMA 2 engine is rather glitchy and buggy in some regards though. Don't blame Day-Z for that.

Yeah Dayz Commander for the win.

That's a contradiction. If PvE is easy, why would killing others be the best way to gear up? That makes no sense mate. PvE easy = go kill people for gear? Think twice about it and how that sounds. Killing people for gear is a completely mute point. It is faster and easier to loot it yourself, by a long shot. Or simply stock up on food and drinks to go looking for tents. PvP has no point what so ever, unless you somehow manage to catch a ghillie sniper with everything on him and you just have an Enfield and some basic gear. But the chances of that are remote. It's more likely he finds you and you die.

Hell yeah! Let's do this! Would be fun. I don't care if I lose my stuff, I'll just get new.

The problem isn't that there's mostly PvP. The problem is that there's only two things that can happen. 1. You die right away. 2. You log out. I have nothing against PvP, but I find it to often be unfair and never really involving any sort of firefight or fire exchange. If someone see's you first, you will die first. If you don't die, you will run away. Becaue your attack always has a serious advantage over you. He knows where you are, he got the jump, he has the initiative, he's concealed or you don't know where he is. The chances of you being able to successfully fight back and kill the attacker almost don't excist. It's happened once for me and a friend. Two enemies got the first shots on us, but it was on the road between Balota airfield and the medical camp there, so we had a good chance of fighting back. We had seen each other and they had been trying to set a trap for us as we approached them and their vehicle. My friend moved forward as bait and I sat back to spot and kill them, which I managed to do. That is the only time, the ONLY time, that I've actually had a fair fight. I haven't counted all the times me and my friends have died, but it's always been near instant death for either us or the people we shot at. And THAT, is not fun.
