IcyZ

This has been said before, yes. But please read through. First of all, I know the game is still Alpha, just released etc. I know stuff will change in the future. My suggestion is about these changes. The problem with the first days of the mod was the camping and the firefights up north. Constantly groups and snipers keeping NWAF a graveyard, multiple firefights going on in Stary etc. Then, a small part of the community, the one that was the victim of the people up north, camped the south, bringing the fight to the only people they could kill, fresh spawns. And it stayed like that. The north became an empty place since people were coming south to kill the campers, and the loot was staying south. Still reading? Wow! In standalone, as you're probably aware, the loot is south, and west. 2x Camps in Balota, 1 north of kamenka, 1 in zelenogorsk, 1 close kabanino, 1 nwaf. People loot balota and or pavlovo and server hop until they get full gear, and then stay south. 2 days ago, I was in NWAF for 1-2 hours in 2-3 40/40 servers. NOONE came. Then yesterday, I did my usuall north trip, NWAF-Stary-NEAF and back. I did it for about 4 hours in a 40/40 server. I found NOONE and nobody touched any of the loot. Today, I spent 3 hours in Berezino and NEAF, found only 1 guy with a hatchet, that even after me and my friend (both carrying customized M4 pointing at him) asked him to drop it and raise his arms, tried to swing at us. He had prety basic gear, it seemed like he just spawned there and didnt mind dying to respawn. Now, when I glitched off the NWAF firestation and lost my stuff, I spawned in Balota. There were 3 guys killing fresh spawns with guns, fully geared. Killed one of them with an axe and used his Mosin to kill the other 2. A fresh spawn reached a body and got an M4, and tried to kill me, seconds after I saved him. I just ran North Now, after this rant, the suggestion comes. Remove the tents of Balota. Either swap it with medical loot, make it spawn only pistols/shotguns (in future patches, when these weapons are available) or remove them completely. Keep the Balota barrackses, future server hopping/combat logging measures should make it fine. Remove the camp from north of kamenka/pavlovo and put it in Berezino. The city (Berezino) is great, but has no military value to attract people. I personaly don;t mind, but apparently a big part of the community minds and doesn't even go to the city. The camp around Kabanino should be moved in NEAF considering that there is one right next to in, in NWAF. OR move the NWAF camp around, since there are the barrackses there. Don't get me wrong, I love shooting people. But DayZ SA IMO is one of the best horror survival games(I fucked up the genre,didn't I?), it's going full PvP/KoS again, making it a bit harder will at least spread the fights across Chernarus. Force people to leave the coast, or make them spawn around the map. Being fully geared without leaving the coast just makes everyone stay south and the rest of the map is empty. Especialy for veterans of the mod, it's too easy to stay south and destroy everything, people that know all the nice spots on the coast can kill everything Last but not least, a camp in Vyshnoye should help as well. With Stary being a non-military camp anymore, the center of the map is empty. Note: this comes from a bandit, and a guy that killed 30+ people in standalone so far, all geared up, and died 5 times, 3 glitched, 2 player kills while unarmed. I'm not whining or complaining, I just think that the game should not follow the mod's direction: Server hoppers-hackers-campers-PvP only south /rant Any kind of feedback is appreciated!

I suggested it on this thread just to point my PoV, and also cause most of the other threads are " Game2hard, plz fix, much guns south, remove cuz i die everytiem" and similar stuff IMO, I think that they have the loot so common south so people CAN find it and use it and find as many bugs as possible that involve guns etc, so it's probably a temporary solution. But as I said, my suggestion is more about the future patches, when these camps get removed (if they get removed) and where new camps should appear.

My opininon is more "coast" weapons, less north ones. I remember the first month of the mod, where even an AK iron sights was considered great gear and not "just another rifle". When the full gun list is added, making pistols and shotguns and maybe PDWs more common until you hit NWAF or NEAF, should make people stop staying at the coast and head north to find gear Was in a 40/40 server yestrday, 4 hours raiding NWAF, NEAF and vybor barrackses, never saw a single person. Now, improvised weapons should be added. I mean we got screw drivers, wrenches, rope, tape, we should be able to craft something easy. Like alcohol+rag+matches=molotov coctail :)

got the same bug, my guy will never stop being thirsty. Just stock up on drinks and drink when it goes dark orange. Sodas seem to have a bigger effect than water bottles/cantines

Now, about the people that think it's too hard and need it to be easier etc... half of the fun of dayz SA so far, is learning and exploring the new stuff that have been added. . The other half is surviving. Too hard? it's actually, finaly, a challenge. Zombies are rare, yes, and an easy shot, but supplies are too few, and ammo is not everywhere ( even if I got an ammo box with 300 stanag rounds). It's finally not the PvP chaos that the mod is.

you're too kind. There is only one thing to say to the people that complain: Learn to fucking read When you buy the game, it warns you of it being alpha and buggy etc, I dont know why they keep whining At least the kids and the casuals will fuck off!

Remove both tents and barrackses in Balota, and move the tents to NEAF or Berenzino, the East is wasted with nothing to do.

I've found many medkits spawning in barrackses, I think that's our best chance for meds up north

The flashlight IS working, and finding loot is easier than the mod just search non popular areas, and all the houses Also the focus is NOT on pvp, it's the exact opposite. Less supplies+low chances of surviving the fight=think twice before shooting since once you die you lose your hard earned loot and you have to loot all over again, with the supplies being even less than before

I agree with you, the game ATM is too easy, but as you said, it's alpha. I guess that Beta or full release will have A SHITTONE of zombies, maybe even less supplies, and higher chances of infection etc. Currently, in 2 hours you can find enough gear and supplies to survive for days, then you can either go full PvP mode or just explore

radio... horrors... it's the G#$%n M*&%$@#n I got my big boy pants on and checked it out http://i.imgur.com/VWXMvlV.png

:facepalm: cherno and elektro will never got loot unless it's a restart. EVERYONE loots these cities, of course shit will be looted! Small cities ftw, loot all the non popular areas, small villages etc. there is shit everywhere in unpopular places, food/drinks, melee weapons, bags etc. Also, dayz mod is worse atm, there are weapons everywhere!

You don't know what Green Mountain really is? You haven't heard the stories and the legends about it? Well, it's expected since only a few bunch of us survived to tell the story and the horrors of it... People screaming, ghosts haunting you, eyes in the trees following your every step.... Stay away from it I went to Green Mountain and server restarted, logged back in, characters completely wiped .... The horror is still there... avoid it... (it looks beautifull btw)

Most of them are stupid enough to log into the place they're looting, usualy a high traffic building. Until private servers come, nothing can and should be done about it. It's like when the mod came out, server hoppers cannot be avoided. As soon as we got Private hives the problem will be fixed, I just hope that the admin customization will be limited, since admin abuse was the plague that came after server hoppers and hackers in the mod

It's obviously a joke...yeah... I hopped off the hype train the last days and I got caught with no money in my debit card, so I have to wait til morning for the bank! Anyways, I'll be streaming and recording a lot of standalone, so stay tuned!

I made a really great awesome beautifull great song about standalone :D And yes, Zarniwoop speaks the truth :D

Dont wanna spam with more threads, so I post it here My DayZ theme song :D

Just got it ! Pro tip, throwing money on your screen doesn't work

wow much bandit wow so KOS wow Seriously now, DayZ is what it is due to the bandits I love interacting with people and help every now and then, I've done my part as a good guy for a bit, but without bandits, dayz would be boring. The reason I love dayz is because it reminds me the Fallout games. I'm a huge fan of them, and I always wanted PvP. I know they're not even the same thing, but they're post apocalyptic, in a dangerous environment where everything, zombies, doors, stairs, wants to kill you. The fact that you may get shot anytime, gives you an adrenaline rush, and that's why I love dayz. Im BF games, COD, CS, or any FPS game, you spawn-die-spawn. In dayz you got to find your gear, and if you die you lose it all. Bandits make you afraid of losing your gear, therefore your gaming experience is more intense

Just 2 days ago, I got into a pvp server, after playing mostly on DayZRP. I was streaming, and me and 2 friends were on a server that has a shittone of custom buildings, so we spawned in Balota. Were the tents used to be, they had a compound with sandbag walls and barrackses/tents. I parachute behind it and the guy inside screams that a man is sniping people at the front. He is a bandit, surrounded by many bodies. I know that I'll have to kill him if I want some loot from there, so I run straight to the hill, were the enemy is supossed to be. Meanwhile my friend arives. The guy inside the compound had a friend with him, together they shoot the guy on the hill, and I reach for his enfield. They shoot me, but I hide and scream "WHY DID YOU SHOOT, YOU FUCKTARD?" trying to buy me some time while I bandage. He apologizes and tells me to run in. They ask me to drop my stuff and they'll bandage me/bloodbag me. I follow their commands, but someone opens up on us, and my friend comes in. He bandages me and then drops his stuff and hides while the other 2 guys kill the enemy At last, they take me to the medical tent to find a bloodbag. Both of them came in, and my friend with noone to watch him, gets a gun. We don't find a bloodbag, so they run out to check bodies. As soon as they turn around I loot the first body next to me, I was abou 2k blood, shaking and passing out. My friend shoots one, and I shoot the other, due to the shaking I hit his shoulder so he just passes out. I finished him off 5 seconds later. Now, that happened in about 5 minutes. It's not the worst thing I've done in DayZ, but it's my first "bad action" after a looong time

I like to fight for my gear. Raiding a camp is always fun. But I hate given gear, like admin spawned and donator packages Now, events like that aren't bad, until the whole server clusters around that area, just ganking the people that actually need the gear

As the title says, I'm looking to join a group! I'm Icy(Nick IRL) and this is my "DayZ resume" A bit bout me: I'm from Europe, Greece, so I play on European time, mostly from 14:00 to midnight, GMT +3I'm 20 y.o. , and "mature". Yes, I fuck around, make jokes and stuff, but never going too far to personaly insult someone. I love a good laugh, but I will shut up and focus as soon as I have to.I play DayZ since its 3d/4th week of release. I've been playing it a LOT, everyday since then. I'm a bandit, but not a douche. I kill if I'm threatened, if a friend is in danger or if the guy has something I need. I don't shoot fresh spawn unless they don't follow my "fuck off or I'll shoot" ordersBeing a nerd my whole life, I like roleplaying. I've been a member of the DayZRP community (suposed to be the best RP community for DayZ, I dissagree) for half a year now, and some habits stay with me. If I sneak up on someone I'll try to talk to him, disarm him, have some interaction and not just shoot.I'm an average shooter. I can use any weapon I find, but I prefer something ACOG-ish. I'm good at hiding, spent half my DayZ days hiding in bushes, so I can provide overwatch/flank etc. I'm good at spotting.Oh, also I love explosives! RPGs, 203s, handgrenades, I love using them!I'm on YouTubes/Twitch. I can record/stream gameplay, promote the group, and just have my/our adventures to watch in the futureStating the obvious, I own legit(Steam) copies of Arma and most of its expantions, and ArmA 3. I mostly play DayZ OW and Vanilla, but I dont mind playing other mods What I'm looking for: Friends. I want a group that plays together and has fun, not play just to "wreck". I like chatting with the members of the group, not being silenced on TS and talk only in combat etcA mature group. I dont care if its 18+ or 16-, if the members are mature I don't careA European group. I got nothing against the rest of the world, but my ping doesn't have the same opinion! IF anyone gives a fuck, contact me here, or on steam, add: IcyZinHD Hope this thread looks good, I spent way too much time on it! Cheers

Been accepted in the Survivor Gamez Quarter Finals, I need to practice! Will start streaming some DayZero now/in a bit,@ http://www.twitch.tv/icyzinhd Drop by, say hello, enjoy my fooliness, and maybe follow :D

So, after playing DayZ mod for more than 1 year, I raged on the amount of coast-bandits So I decided to focus on the community and mainly, see how the community works now, see the mentality of bandits and heroes. My plan is to run multiple experiments IG. Everything happens in public servers, nothing is scripted, and noone on the servers is aware about it The plan is to be friendly to people, kill them if they shoot, or reward them with good stuff if they act friendly I will get myself in situations that even the friendliest hero will be tempted to kill me Hopefully we'll find many different gamestyles, from "bandits with honor" to shameless heroes that shoot fresh spawned bandits on the coast. I will be friendly the whole time, shoot only if I get shot, help heroes and bandits equaly. I hope you enjoy these videos, leave any feedback you wish! #1 Just uploaded

DayZ is a zombie game, without zombies it's not DayZ anymore. ArmA 2 has many similar mods without zombies. What noone said so far though, is that the way the mod is played, is based on YOU. You play just to kill others? It's a PvP. You play to kill zombies? It's a PvE. You play it for the survivalistic aspect? It's a horror-survival(I guess). Zombies are not a threat if you don't just run around shooting an Enfield. Sneaking and patience makes zomies(and usually players) useless against you.
