Siberian (DayZ)

the fact that SA is bleeding players/interest is clearly evident even on the forum main pages.. wereas before a thread couldnt stay on the mainpage for even 15mins before being bumped. its not uncommon for a thread to stay on the mainpage for days now.. the forums are simply becoming less busy, as a direct reflection of player interest... i said it before and i'll say it again, i dont think SA will ever hit the full retail release, i think it will run out of time due to player interst moving on, and lanquish in a state of beta basicly forever...

ummm the community IS split and always has been.. you can at most play with what maybe 40-50 other people on a server ??? the entire rest of the community has no bearing on you at all.. you'll not interact with them nor even know they exist while u play.. even the central hive is a split community if you think of it.. ps modding and private hives is the only way SA will stay relevent in the future..

people still play SA ?? huh... uninstalled it months ago. simply to hollow and boring... until private hives and modding come out, it'll stay uninstalled. Dayz mod n A3 mods are were its at atm.

realisticaly prolly never.. sad but true. i suspect this title will always remain in a state of "alpha/beta"...

run forest run... you can try to catch this rabbit.. but be warned im quite good at rabbiting..

cuz its boring as fuck having a black screen.. if thats your idea of "fun" then fuill your boots.. i'll stick to servers were i can see what the fuck im doing..

the only thing that will work on the KoS problem is whitelisting servers.. start breaking the player base up into its subclass' of player types.. everyone wins... except those players that dont really like fair fight PVP, but prefer to shoot player who wont/dont PVP..

private servers.. /endthread..

theres already wayyy to much PVP.. remove the Z's and this game seriously is nothing more then every other CoD clone type FPS. if they did remove the Z's, the game community would never recover from the shift to pure PVP. even if zs were later readded.

maps maps and more maps//// and whitelisting for the love of god whitelisting plz..

theres already WAYYYYY to much KoS already.. add in guns at spawn and that number will sky rocket to make this nothing more the Quake or any other dam FPs game. if anything guns need to be reeled way back...

exactly.. i played tons of mods/maps and never frequented the 100heli/spawn loaded servers... theres tons of places to play that arent like that..

play in 3rd person... it greatly helps.. basicly Arma3/Dayz sucks in 1st person..it really has a odd sensation that leads to making u feel barfy...

looking forward to it.. modding is what keeps DayZ fresh over time and helps to seperate the community into its class's people who like to play a certain way can easily find servers that suit them.. instead of everyone having to suffer throu the cesspool we have currently.

excellent post... one of the best written on here recently..

sadly until private hives n whitelisting this is a dream.. but hopefully it comes true soon.. this game needs a way to weed out the mike Tyson punchout on the beach fans...

thus the "flawed concept" statement..

ask Dean that same question today... his ideas of adding in different mechanics to slow down KoS was a abject failure.. to this day most of the community doesnt use 5% of whats coded into SA. most are just rushing to get guns fire em into peoples faces until they die, then rinse n repeat ad nauseum.. Dean can build all the meta gaming he wants but if no one is using em, then its all wasted dev. time.. thus the "flawed concept" he spoke of...

without private hives and whitelisting you can forget RP servers, or even decent servers. without a way to enforce rules, the game will forever remain KoS deathmatch... sadly...

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jfML0RxZD6Y&list=ELXAidAtWLdNY this is one of the first videos i remember, i was already curious about dayz before it, but this one sealed it for me.. back then i wasnt sure if i could figure out how to install dayz so i held off a few weeks, until more info was out on how to install it.

i actualy uninstalled SA recently.. realized i simply dont like the direction its gone.. to much of a koS forcefeed murder sim... not enuf of a survival horror game. perhaps when/if it ever hits retail release candidate i'll look into loading it back up.. but to be honest i dont have much if any faith the devs can find a balance for this game given the state of the community that plays it. luckily the mod has tons of versions of dayz that can be had to play...

^^^pretty much this^^^ i'd bet the farm that whateva game Rocket makes next has coding/rules in regards to player interaction.

so how was the duck hunting ?

Winchester or nothing...

cuz their is no looting in CoD.
