Aside from the alpha aspect. The way I see it the folks who say there is nothing to do are not part of the target audience of DayZ. They need structure and organization. They need scripted and clearly defined goals with pat on the back "ata boy you done good" achievements. That's all well and good really. I for one appreciate them stopping by and supporting the project.

I wish that ammo was scarce enough for that to be a viable option

Really this is the best anyone can hope for. Anything else is forcing gameplay style on others which goes against the anti-game philosophy. Some folks need the mindless chit-chat and banter that comprises 99% of what goes on in TS/Ventrilo. For me it breaks immersion. Which is why I don't even have these programs installed anymore. I don't play online games to pretend to be all buddy buddy warm and fuzzy with someone I don't even know who the hell you are. At the end of the day its MY immersion and what goes in someone else's game play is of little concern to me as long as they are not cheating.

So because you prefer a smaller map and less diversity I should be forced into your behavior?

PvP is a core element of this game. That will not change. If you and your friends cannot accept that then you have all purchased the wrong game.

Those that use exploits are just one step away from hackers. The only reason they won't hack is they actually fear getting caught.

You would think but then consider a whole generation being taught by parents the word "NO" was just a suggestion.

Thanks and have some beans. I will make a point to spend some time on your server this week.

Its a GREAT idea. That way a grumpy old coot of a survivor like me doesnt have to be bothered with killing all those giddy ass'd weekend warriors.

In this case you are mistaken. In DayZ the Z stands for "zero" I am certain I have seen Mr Hall quoted on that some time back. Today is Day Zero. Your first day in the apocalypse, How many days can you survive?

it is silly to just make a blanket accusation. I know there are many admins who are fair minded folks. The way i see it, with "x" number of admins you the "POTENTIAL" for "x" chances of abuse. We are all human and even folks with the best of intentions will find ways to justify behavior. Their may even be times when questinable action are warranted. Sometimes the end does justify the means. The only person who is 100% impartial is the one who has no interest in the outcome. There is something i am curious about and maybe some of the honest sever admins can help me out. Why would anyone want to be a server admin? Doesn’t that take away from the game play? Seems like a lot of time and effort that could be spent just playing the game. I know what motivates the dishonest admin. Just interested in what motivates you honest admins.

Why i am no fan at all of anyone other than BI/DayZ team having control over servers. I would rather pay a monthly sub than have this.

Great social experiment. I would like to think I would have put the gun down and walked away

Excuse me sir, I believe your game is down the hall, 3rd door on the left.

And if it that be its fate thats ok with me. 10,000 hardcore players fighting for slots on the last 20 servers. Works for me. :)

They annoy me, give me an itchy trigger finger. The only reason in game that i might KOS

Wrong continent :)

I am a big fan of random events. Here are a few, i must be feeling negative as they are all bad Gum misfire, with a chance of injury to the owner - hate when that happens Blown tire on a mountain road. - yikes!!!! Blown hydralic line/stabilizer on a chopper. - O SHIT!!!!!! Slip and fall down stairs. - Well ok we all know the problems with stairs in the mod. LOL Opening a can of beans with a knife, can slips and knife lodges in your .... whatever. - get the point? I see this stuff as way down the road kind of things after we have a finsihed product.

Wether scarce ammo has an effect on kos really does not matter to me. I would love to see ammo rare enough that when I turn a corner and find myself staring down the barell of a gun i can actually have a reasonable expectation (say 20 - 35%) that the gun is not loaded. Or will misfire.

All ya humanity system folks need to give it a permanent rest. Based on what I know and have heard as long as Mr Hall is the primary creative force it will not happen. It is counter to everything he has said about his vision for DayZ. He is on the record as saying he would leave the project before he would change his vision. I am very confident in saying more than 50% of KOS is due to victim error and preventable. Give the team time to finish the product. You might be surprised.

Ya had to see this struggle coming. The anti gamers vs standard issue gamer. I have faith in Dean and company to stay true to his vision and let the others take it or leave it. In the meantime the forums will be bloody. If it gets to tiresome here ... there will be (hope sooner than later) the Supporters Forums Lounge

you left out my ONLY frustration Folks who can't or didn't read the don't purchase if you can't deal with Alpha warning.

Only art I recognize is Art Bell

The attention span and reasoning of some of these kids today is scary

Defiantly seek out others. Understand the risk and be smart. With great risk can come great reward. Gear is nice and all but when dealing with others being smart and tactical will go farther than gear in keeping yourself alive. Course all that can go right out the window with a surprise encounter which is probable on a high pop server. In those cases you have 3 choices. Shoot first and ask questions later, retreat/duck/find cover. The 3rd option is the worst option. Do nothing and react to what the other guy does. There is a 4th option ... surrender. I don't consider surrender because to me surrender = delayed suicide.
