Erm...

We dont open fire on players for no good reason, mostly stay hidden and track their movements until they're far enough to continue our trek! Seriously though, whats with the truck sitting there surrounded by snipers? To bait people?

I once saw ALL of Cherno on fire...

I get what the OP means entierly, but, I will never ditch MY AS50 because I only use it for overwatch for my squad. I dont randomly shoot people, only if they have attacked my squad, in which case, they deserve to die. And no, my squad dont shoot random survivors for no good reason either.

The lighting / torch is just a graphical issue and a limitation of the ARMA 2 engine frankly..

I never ever save in buildings primarily BECAUSE they're hot spots for players. Low pine trees and bushes are my best best BEST friends aside from bullets and beans.

Sorry, I wasnt presenting the possibility that greifers will cover the entire map with low humanity zeds, just certain areas with the best loot or whatever. But again its not my main point as to why I dont think this mechanic would be good for DayZ. The only way to really tell is to play test it, but seems quite far fetched for something that could either improve or completely ruin the experience of DayZ. Its a great idea, I dont have the best gut feeling it would work well, but that really is all I have to debate on the matter!

Well, the world (or in this case internetz) its full of dicks. Individual dicks, groups of dicks, anonymous dicks etc etc.. If you get a group of dicks who like to grief together (which is certainly NOT un heard of) and go on to a server full of regulars and go to all major areas and murder, loot and such just to lower the humanity and leave to do it on another server, ruining it for everyone else 'just for the lolz'. A player can kill another player, sure. But that player who got shot was either hacked or to put it simply - not cautious enough, whether or not the killing was unfair or not. But a group of people can ruin an entire region/server for all other potential players, noobies, regulars or vets for however long / untill they regulate the humanity back to a playable level.. Please let me know if I've missed a solution to this, though.

Sure, I totally get that! Have that -1 player +1 to a zombie count.. But forever? Just that server alone or all servers? If not it could be a constant griefing affair to troll servers into submission with zombie overload and then leave. Feels almost too forced into 'being good' almost, and the beauty of DayZ (and at times its downfall) is that lack of authority and freedom to do what you want.

Sure, stealing is wrong because in society its not helpful for the greater good of us to steal from one another, but not because theres an ultimate judge (creating more zeds) but because it makes living together near impossibru. I just really dont like having looting corpses dictate the hostillity of an area what so ever, even killing other people shouldnt either, unless their corpse turns into a Zed.. It would work in a more fantasy type game but really not with DayZ.

I like the idea a lot, but is it really for DayZ? I mean.. looting = bad humanity it just does not make sense. If you've been shot, you get away and are bleeding out and come across a player corpse killed by zombies and he has exactly what you need to survive does that really have to become a bad deed? That is just an example though, and like I said - I LIKE the idea i just really dont think its for DayZ which is a hard realistic (..bar the crazed infected/zeds..) fps survival game and it just seems a bit too 'fantasy' in my opinion.

I have another idea (dont flame) ; Maybe when loading to get into the game, if there is a player within say a hundred meter radius your loading progress pauses and maybe waits for the area to clear? I had this idea because it does this with Zombs, clearing a certain radius before spawning a player in (I believe it still does this or it may have been patched out already?).. I have been killed twice by server hoppers spawning infront of me when in my gear window. Anyway just an idea!

Cant we just have only pedal bikes full stop? Imagine.. Sons Of Anarchy but with pedals.

I look forward to hearing more on this endeavour, hope we dont have to exchance bullets at some point ;P

I wag my finger at your playerkilling but good job on noting down the name. I'm pretty effing certain that DE 267 is abusing admin rights. He's obviously not very good at surviving / shooting in DayZ and thinks its fair he cheats. No.. Sorry.. The server needs to be shut down.

I didnt mean 'the solution to the problem is just dont use US servers', I meant for the time being.. Till something changes in how hacking is dealt with / prevented im not going on the US servers though I do appreciate what you're saying. I swear its gotten so much worse in the past few days?! Its been almost impossible to have a nice game without some kind of asshattery interruption by some absolute tosser farting around with either admin abuse or hacking. Yet for some reason I keep playing ..

Im just NEVER using US servers again, ive only encountered this on US servers thus fur, other then that its meer admin abuse on other servers like on DE 267!

Why.. just WHY DO PEOPLE DO THIS? I dont understand the logic in it! Had this on server - us200 where me, a friend and everyone else on the server got teleported to the airfield (western) , again, we managed to disconnect just in time but still.. Why?!

Hey, glad you started this topic, made an account to mention this.. All of yesterday i could not access as it was password protected with just 2 or 3 players, their names were - [CB]vampy (the admin i believe) , verge , and Thanos [GER]. I was only able to get on once for a brief few minutes to move my vehicle then when i got kicked again i gave up for the day, today around mid day i saw it was unlocked and jumped in to find my vehicle gone. I KNOW it was saved and i KNOW i had used it within the 'x amount of hours for an unused vehicle gets deleted' or whatever it is so yeah. Seems to me like personal gain.. I was asking CONSTANTLY 'why is the server getting locked up why why why' with no response. Server DE 267. Never using it again.
