Cya, wouldnt wanna be ya

Well said,OP

I wish there were more players that wanted to actually play true Vanilla. Sadly there are not.

There are only 2 true Vanilla servers with a grand total of 23 players. Im not including the Russian No CD server. Maybe not such a good suggestion.

Booooooooriiiiiiiiiing

Don't log out in buildings. Ever. You need to run into the trees, crawl up into a bush or between a couple pine trees.

He'd rather die than give up his scope :)

@OP Brilliant! Here's mine, nobody fucks with the klok! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tMryQlJtZRk

Very cool!

A poor choice of words on my part, my apologies. Thats more of an internal term that I use to characterize certain play styles, not something that I should use on a forum. My counter measure to that particular play style is to play on a different server. #1 rule of DayZ: Don't get attached to your gear. I promise not to cry on the forum when my camp gets raided and vehicles get stolen/destroyed. I hope that we get armed hueys :)

HAHAHA That is funny. :D Welcome to DayZ, Friend !

Fix't

Perfect example of the experienced, real life DayZ community.

This /\ Exactly. I forgot to mention crashing due to desynch or server restart and how many hours it took to find and repair a heli again hahaha. Great point. Whats so OP about that :) Yes, no parking in debug plain, not gonna be so easy to hide with 1.5 million players. Again, don't get attached to your gear because you're going to lose it.

You are correct. Some of the Epoch servers I played on had Stinger missiles. You had to be extremely careful of where and when you used a heli. Succes rates on those servers were about 50%

In my countless hours of playing the Mod I can tell you that, in my experience, most DayZ players are not abusive douchbags. This doomsday prediction that you're trying to sell me didn't happen. I can speak for the many squads I ran with. Just because we saw a camp doesn't mean we landed and touched it. Most guys I played with wouldn't have any of that type of bullshit and I believe with all my heart that most DayZ players are of like mind. This is not conjecture, this is my real life experience with hundreds of DayZ players, both as squadmates, playing with server regulars and communities ( BMRF PCGN etc ) and Admins. I've already mentioned the counter play in this topic. I've been shot down, I've crashed and died or heavily damaged the heli and had to hoof it out on foot. I've been shot down many times. I've been ambushed and had it stolen. What more do you need? Also, after final release, there will be a limited number of helis and Dean mentioned they would be much tougher to fix and maintain (at least I think it was Dean who said that) so you're correct, the Stansalone ISN'T the Mod so people are going to have to be much more careful what they use the heli for and I don't believe for one minute that they're going to risk a heli to destroy your can of beans. It just doesn't make sense. I'm not a supporter of the " there might be an Abuser, so let's take this feature out of the game" cause. Let's just agree to disagree.

Tha fact remains the same. They did it in a couple of months.

Again I disagree with you. I've spent countless hours on Mod servers without ever seeing a heli and without having our camps destroyed. Not everybody with a heli destroys everything on the map. Players naturally stop populating servers where OP Squads destroy everything. Most server admins don't put up with such abuse because they don't want low pop servers. We don't need help by limiting resources in the game. Players will populate servers where we can find what we're looking for. This concept has already been proven in the mod.

Yes I do. The Dead Linger devs did it in a couple of months.

With Respect I find your logic to be flawed. What you're saying is that because players can be douchebags with a feature it shouldn't be in the game. Your own story proves my point. Your group was betrayed and the vehicles respawned. That IS DayZ.

What orlok said. Not easy to explain. It's like trying to explain sex. The definition is vastly different to the experience.

Then dont use one. Sorry

Because It's My Story. And my story has helis in it.

As with all gear in DayZ, you're going to lose it. When you're really unlucky rivals will steal it and kill you with it lol. Such is life in DayZ :)

I believe that will be the case.
