What i would like to see are servers disconnected from hive, with a sandbag wall around cherno+elektro & outskirts and more weapon spawns for players who just want a deathmatch game, and play dayz like a deathmatch game. --Edit then again where do i get off on thinking that its "bad" for people to use dayz as a simple deathmatch game. usually the players in cherno/elektro are new anyway so it doesnt matter, and its completely possible to get good loot in towns outside these cities... But its just that i have such a good time interacting with survivors in cities, or having to thwart/deal with/die from REAL bandits/murderers and i feel its a shame that people who want to get their DM kicks rewen the experience of Dayz in towns like Cherno/Elektro. --Edit Seeing as half of the Cherno/Elektro cod kids just like to stay there because they cant get kills elsewhere or enjoy the constant combat/walking innocents, could it be considered that servers are setup where everyone spawns around cherno&Elektro + outskirts, its sandbagged in, there are more weapon spawns and people can just fight it out like a CS deathmatch server? Have them off the hive so people can just join if they want to do some fragging. INB4 carebear, i enjoy PvP combat, ive killed many players for survival, for banditry and i have been killed many times before, I never DC and i usually get my kills with smart tactics or patience in the northern areas. If PvP were disabled i would find this game boring as there would be no threat at all. I just dont like it when you cant try and play the game rationally because there are HURDDURRS playing for the lulz or who just want to play a really awesome version of CS (if there were DM servers id play them too..). also getting killed right when you spawn sucks if spawning is a 5-10min wait (not bitching about the wait just pointing out getting killed on spawn sucks) Anyway what do you guys think? I know that trolls and griefers by nature would stay on regular servers for peoples tears (i dont get it) but would make the dayz experience more of a zombie apocalypse survival game than a realistic COD like simulator Sure its completely against the motto of Dayz, but id say people trolling or just running through cherno for an enfield then killing as much as possible/trolling/rinse/repeat*1000 is more against the spirit of dayz. p.s. i saw two similar threads http://dayzmod.com/f...tch#entry221133 http://dayzmod.com/f..._hl__deathmatch both unrealistic if you ask me. All this needs is a modified server side change to spawn sandbags in certain spots and change the loot tables for the area.

yeah.. i guess you are right.. bummer isnt it.

buy another copy of OA, supports this movement and you get anotehr character. i have a top gear guy for our group missions and a guy that i just dont care so much about dying with to experience the funner side of dayz, teaming up with people, making decisions that you wouldnt risk tier1 loot on e.t.c.

i hear that but these players wont have the initative to do that, so setting up servers could work? just a suggestion anyway. its not so i can play DM, its so they can get what they want DM dayz, and the people taking it seriously can play on the real servers.

nah of course i wouldnt want that, wouldnt want anything changed in the "actual" dayz servers, only thing i would like is people that just play it for a deathmatch to be incenticised to go elsewhere and let the people that actually want to play dayz to the fullest enjoy it. ive ran into a deathmatch player that i would think of being worthy though, he took on the persona of a cannibal and kept on stalking us in direct chat which was freaky as! he killed one of us and I got killed by a hacker, but i think i would ahve got him. but That ^ person playing as a psycopath is different to the guys that just go around racking up kills and not caring if they die for the sole reason its fun to shoot people in dayz. then again where do i get off on thinking that its wrong for people to use dayz as a simple deathmatch game. usually the players in cherno/elektro are new anyway so it doesnt matter, and its completely possible to get good loot in towns outside these cities... But its just that i have such a good time interacting with survivors in cities, or having to thwart/deal with/die from REAL bandits/murderers (as above) and i feel its a shame that people who want to get their DM kicks rewen it.

i spawned then i died straight away, how can you imagine away a 303 round?

throw in a can of beans and we might have a deal.

yeah skip is slang for australian, if you didnt intend it thats fine. I keep on putting it down because groups i have played in said hey lets go cherno and kill noobs with military spec weapons, that shit wouldnt happen in a real life scenario. if they had a DM server to do stuff like that on then itd be cool. Good point about shooting the fucker first. but how will my hatchet or markov stop M67 frag nades, or m240 rounds, or DMR rounds? Anyway this isnt going anywhere, you feel that we shouldnt make a special area for people that dont want to play this seriously (considering death as a constraint) and I dont like that people arent taking it seriously and just want to hop on dayz for killing sessions in cherno/elektro. And yes trolls cant be stopped but half the trolls just playing DM would be better no? My reason for this whole thread is this I am bummed about it, because i get the best survivor/genuine bandit interaction in the cities, and it sucks when people are rewening it by playing deathmatch for lulz.

hahah you were talkin in group chat, good on you for trying to be reasonable though. nice vid!

You will be recieving a court summons due to your dangerous door breaking my leg upon entry last week. By the way I could be willing to settle this matter privately. Please message me if you are interested otherwise I will see you in court

at the Aussie island we have good beer and hot wimmenz, but you will have to listen to my dayz suggestions. let me know if you want the map coords

its the suggestion thread? make suggestions? im not a programmer, ive got an idea, ive suggested it? And ive run into a funny ingame psychopath, he kept on stalking us in the school, i didnt mind even though he killed us. But the 3 guys shooting at me and a friend (and other players after we watched from the forest) as we spawned with enfields for lulz i dont enjoy. maybe im just grumpy because i ran into exploiters and dcers just farming cherno for noob kills.. but i still think that the idea would be worth entertaining... Also what does myself being Australian have to do with this? I appreciate your inputs but how about you try keep it on topic and related to the suggestion not my ability to make my own server and customise it myself... ask rocket if people using exploits and just abuisng the fact that you can die as much as you want to troll/grief other players/play his apocylpse game like a simple deathmatch game is in the spirit of dayz

id like 3rd person disabled on the whole, as most of the good servers have it on :(. but thats an immersion decision rocket and the team have to make i guess. or it could be left as is, more servers will show up

nothing is being implemented to game mechanics, just a few seperate servers would be setup for people that just want to play a deathmatch style game with zombies. then again i guess you are right, sandbox games have no rules. if people want to abuse people on direct chat they can, if people want to grief new players sitting on the spawn line of coast with the m240 they can, if people dont give a crap about dying and just want to kill as much as possible they can (which kind of rewens the survival aspect if you ask me as you have unlimited lives). Just the thing that really brought me to dayz was someone told me its a real life apocylapse simulator, and i found this partially to be true, ive never gotten adrenaline rushes in games, ive never felt bad about killing people or even had to think about whether i want to do that to someone in games before either. But the one thing that didnt stick true to the "real life" aspect was the abundance of rude players/exploiters that were just respawning and trying to rack up as many murders as possible. then again thats just a carebear rant, as in real life there would be someone in the clocktower with a rifle and a bunch of mags. but not 25% of the population. and if they died they wouldnt be coming back..

Id do that but i dont know how to. and thanks for the selective quoting... if you put in the whole sentence you would see that i think that people abusing game mechanics to grief is against the promoted Dayz idea. Ive never killed for fun, id say the adrenaline rush is exhilarating but i usually feel bad. but its more because im scared and i dont want to take risks, but i often friend survivors, especially if they are unarmed or have a poorer weapon/i got the jump on them and sus them out over direct chat. Survival kills: Couldnt find shit, had no sidarm, 3 leeroy enfield rounds no food/water and was hungry/thirsty and some noob with a flashlight on in a field did (or at least i had assumed ((and rightfully so)). At top of Zug and i hear enfield shots, another player comes into the building, soon as he comes to second level i kill him. He didnt intentionally show agression to me but i was scared and 1 hit from the enfield if i let my guard down would be all thats needed so i made a decision to kill him. Banditry: Killed a guy in shop, i wanted toolbox/compass, he didnt have either Killed a guy at balota, he had an AK, i wanted it for a friend Killed a guy that made a shitload of noise near a chopper, he had a DMR mag weapon and i wanted one as a backup rifle then there are others that were grey area, maybe anothe 10 ive forgotten, but ive never gone looking for players to kill for fun and thrown caution to the wind cause its easy to spawn in cherno just keep respawning then find a enfield for lulz. But the threat of PVP and permadeath is quite fun, having to weigh risks and make decisions that could end up in you dying.

i dislike deathmatch players but i dislike bandit skins even more. Just means people will be shoot on sight even more.

i thought that something like this would come along eventually. would be a fun way to play haha not.. but would bei nteresting if rocket didnt have a problem with it. As there would possibly be merchants in a real life simuation IF there were global communication channels... but the major problem i can see with this is that the items wont be farmed, they will just be hacked in.

lol a guy had this happen just now. alt tabbed, came back, about 15 sec later a z hit him and it was a 1hit kill

hahahaha I wouldnt say its a new game mode. id say its just spawning a shitload of sandbags and changing the loot tables for the area, which could be done server side. shit they could even have someone just place them manually lol, just get someone to place the sandbags themselves and then take a snapshot of the map. restart server every 3 hours and reload the snapshot. wouldnt say that they arent supposed to deathmatch on regular servers, id say that for what they want to do (play deathmatch) they would have more fun/kills on a deathmatch server. If i wanted to play DM, id rather go on a server with quick spawns (no hive communication time), lots of weapons (dont have to spend 30 mins finding one) and lots of other players to kill. And i said that the servers should be disconnected from the hive. no data will come to or from the DB, so no issue with serverhopping.

wow... thats amazing.. everyone remembers their first murder of a possible innocent.... i also felt a bit sick the first time. might have just been the adrenaline rush i was having... but now i just feel bad if it happens, or i try and justify it.

Was on anz3, found a guy over direct chat, said hed been killed twice, whenever we were in the general area of this one player all of the zombies would freeze still and not die. If you walked next to them they would attack but they would not move or aggro, you could run infront of them or shoot and they wouldnt move. Was that a hack or bug? Anyway he had an AKS74 (kobra from the looks couldnt tell) and the whole time we were there we heard him firing on people. After coming out of elektro church we head towards hospital through the archway, i ppeek coorner and see the guy with the AK74. Anyway i get my mate to shoot marakov to draw him out further down, instead he just went back around and shot at my mate (not killing). he falls back and i go around, peek and see him, shoot 4 1911 rounds into him then pop out and do the last 3, he is knocked out bleeding but not dead. DC's. I assumed he wouldnt be back due to being knocked out. Anyway about 15 seconds later hes back and he kills my new friend, i come back and see him looting body (same gun/pack again). i kill him this time (got the murder) then he dc's again because the body dissapears. after raiding another building then going into the school my mate got shot by an enfield (guy was pretty funny over direct chat, trying to psych us out) , i went on the first level roof to go behind this other guy that shot from outside with the enfield and i got killed by our friend with the AK74 kobra... Anyway tl;dr i killed a griefer. Also anyone noticed ANZ servers have HEAPS more trolls/griefers/hackers? im a bandit sometimes myself but there was one guy camping the spawn point at kamenka, two guys with enfields camping the constructionsite at cherno abusing people on sidechat, that ak74 hacker, found heaps of duped looking coastal tents full of military ammo/meds e.t.c.

Hey, on US651 i died in dense forest with 12k blood, no shot/crack heard. was not moving. Friend was right next to me and didnt die, he shit self and ran, but when he came back (after 3 sec as i said it was a bug) he sat on my body for 5 min reallocating loot so i think it would be REALLY unlikely it was another player. My ideas are (bug, had some sort of desync which had me 2k's+ away and player shot me, i killed a hacker before and he was mad?). Time: 9:50 GMT+10 (11:50 GMT) 17/07/2012 IGN: Gruelius Loot: AKM M24 Coyote 1911 most tools few hand grenades (not sure if this helps lol) i definately alt tab alot but wasnt alt tabbign at that point in time. If it means no death ill disable my 2nd monitor!!

i had this happen too not too long ago. i wasnt alt tabbed but i do often alt tab. going to make seperate post as its simmilar circumstances

also experienced this on my old character ( was fixed when i was knocked out during server reset ) and my current guy, who had an instantaneous death
