Abaddon (DayZ)

M1A1 Tank altered to: Be reloaded with looted rounds (rare spawn) Be repaired as other vehicles Treads take damage from high caliber rifle rounds (AS50, m107) rendering tank immobile Slightly higher percentage chance of AT rockets and launcher spawn? The idea about the tank is that server hosts could choose between spawning choppers or spawning tanks. The tank would have to be made more vulnerable to certain weapons, but the fact that you can't guard it 24/7 sort of guarantees that no one will keep one permanently anyway. Camouflage Tarp/Structure to cover and hide vehicles. Seriously, the only annoying thing about choppers is the fact that sooner or later one is going to wreck your camp. Firearms are covered up and down in this thread all ready. If tanks or vehicular camouflage were mentioned, I didn't read those posts and apologize. And please don't implement a massive amount of melee and improvised weapons. It just seems too easy for these ideas to become comedic and shatter the tension and bitter seriousness of DayZ. To me, the mod's biggest success is in taking this genre seriously when no other devs had even half way considered trying it.

And it's like you've never watched a Romero movie or read Robert Kirkman's The Walking Dead. In good zombie fiction, the infected become a part of the setting for the story. The characters become the important part, and the people against them are always the real danger. And really, it doesn't matter how dangerous the zombies get in DayZ, because the other players will always be more dangerous. That said, I hear that COD has an online MP mode that features zombies that get stronger the longer you play. Oh, hey, and the players can't even shoot each other in it, can they? Maybe you should check out COD and leave DayZ behind.

I say no. The danger should come from other players, as it does now. I understand how adding variety could make the game less tedious to some, but it would ruin the immersion almost as badly as hackers to me. One of the biggest attraction for me to this idea and mod and eventually game, is that it's relatively pure to the film, comic, and literary fiction on the genre.

This. My group had over a dozen vehicles a few weeks ago. Most of the crew was running end game gear and we'd put a heli together on day one of the update. Then we got into a few helicopter vs helicopter air fights. Steam rolled by some guys in a black SUV. Lost the majority of our vehicles to grenade launchers and hacked helicopters. Hackers just shoot to shit any end-game play, especially if you're playing in the same server regardless of population.

My crew had a chopper once. We actually got into an aerial battle with a hacked in chopper just north of Elektro. Was not as fun as you'd think. We survived it though, got the chopper out safely... only to have it stolen a few days later.

I hope you guys get hired out. Hits and bounties would be a fun community addition to DayZ

I reported it and ditched the hacked weapon. Things have gotten so much more dramatic since this thread was started. Next time you kill a hacker, Lnxa, you should tell them that they're awesome players and that you can't believe how lucky you were.

I dropped the TWS under a tree in the middle of the woods at night. The server resets every 4 hours. If someone finds it, that's on them. Another thing I'd missed in my hurry to get out of that server earlier was the fact that my backpack was completely emptied and that my m9sd was replaced with a 1911. Hopefully, that's the end of that. There's so much crazy crap going on in that server now.

I'm going to attempt to re-enter a camp I'd found and replace the gun with something legit. I still want to be on record saying my side of what happened in the event that someone wants to throw accusations my way. I have not fired the gun let alone killed anyone using it. I've been told that I can't get in trouble for _having_ a hacked weapon if I wasn't involved with the creation of the weapon... all the same, the gun was taken out of DayZ for a reason and I don't want to have it.

Logged in after a server restart to US 128 in Texas today, found that my inventory was messed up and I now possessed an AS50 TWS + loads of m107 ammo. I did not check to see if my backpack was messed with or that my DMR was still intact. My NVG, GPS, and range finder were still there, but other than a quick glance after realizing what weapon I was holding, I just logged out. I brought it up in this thread: http://dayzmod.com/forum/index.php?/topic/51781-to-the-hackers-on-us128/page__st__20 Wherein there is other discussion of hackers in the server US 128. Their admin suggested I make a post requesting an inventory wipe. If I have to lose EVERYTHING, no big deal. I'd gained most of it from a camp I'd found a short while earlier anyway.

More trouble on US 128. I rejoined after a server reset moments ago and found my inventory edited. I lost an mk. 48 and dmr that I'd just found in someone's camp and had it replaced with an AS50 TWS and several mags. I immediately logged out. I have no idea what to do with the gear and feel that screenshots of my inventory would be redundant. The only thing I did was take a shot of the server pool.

You mean MY tractor, right? The one I flipped like a boss. I rarely ever see you UBCS guys on. You play early mornings or something?

The dude's not an admin on that or any other server. Whatever happened had nothing to do with anything he's able to do. Hopefully whoever does admin US1169 can step forward and clear this up for you.

Yes. Please change this back. I'm sick of engaging multiples and watching some guy DC right in front of me only to get shot by him three minutes later from behind. There's too many people who think it's okay to play this way.
