If the in combat is show every time in the UI, then this is an EPIC idea :) would suck if the combat isnt shown and you log out normally (say someone used a silenced weapon near you and you didnt hear it) and insta died because of it.

wiping the hive would make me play again. everyone in ghilies and running around with as50s etc, is getting really boring now. yes, the hackers would respawn everyhting back, but there would be a few weeks to a month of "normal" play again. i voted yes

With choppers back in game, its much much easier to find em. For the people with the choppers that is. I had a chopper a few days ago and it was so easy to fly over the common spawn areas and loot em.

http://www.dayzwiki.com/wiki/Weapons best place to check if the weapon is legit or not.

Yes, the rare weapons are not so rare anymore. But most of them are duped, not spawned in. Even i have accidentally duped weapons. i moved my tent 300m last week. i had few weapons in it, some food and med supplys. 2 days ago i went to check my camp, and my tent was there, took some stuff and started running in the direction my tent was before. And there was a tent, where i moved from. Tent had exactly the same items in it, that i took out. So the server spawned back the tent + items. now i have 2 of everything. I think this is the biggest reason, why we have soo many rare weapons/items around.

dunno, i see that as a good thing. i have never shot at new spawns in cherno/elektro, so more organised fighting will mean a lot more fun.

How many days ingame was that score ?

If they reset the server, they get everything back :( you shouldnt, but somehow it does. i got one of my camps found (3 tents) last week. it got flattened. this week, i decided to go back and check, if mybe 1 of the tents had respawned (they should respawn empty, atleast wiki says so) as i needed one to make a new camp. everything had respawned, including the gear. Bit lame. on my second camp, i had moved a tent 4 days ago and when i went back there, there was a tent in the old place and same tent in the new place. both had same gear. so basically server restart duplicated my tent + contents. So basically, i can be accused of duping, even tho i didnt do so on purpose. No wonder high end gear is soo common and maps/compasses are the new rare stuff :P PS: im not the server admin of that server.

Like others have said, no point doing it before duping and hacking are fixed. There is small issue with wiping everything. Wiping player data (the stuff you have on your character, in the bag) would be easy. DAYZ devs can just use few lines of SQL and it be done. Wiping tents/cars/other player made stuff(sand bags, wire etc) on the other hand they cant control. That data is kept only on the server that it is in. It would mean, that the devs would have to force server owners to wipe that data. Because dayz is mod atm, it wouldnt matter much anyways. People who duped the gear before, will do so again, people who hacked illegal weapons/cars whatever in the game, will do so again. i think the period, where high end stuff is very rare, wouldnt last more than a few days.

i like to check out stary sobor. i know good counter sniping positions to most places, where bandits usually snipe from. Tho that means sniping from 800-1km, what is not easy because of the visual range limitations.

Thats what happens when you log between servers too much in a short time. at least thats what happened to my brother, when he was moving hes camp from 1 server to another.

I hope they dont make it for consoles, would ruin the game. and this is coming from a xbox owner.

Same issue, not sure if its server side or HIVE cant give the info to the server, to load you in.

i have a private hive server and i still get gliches, so you must have had good luck :)
