Remember this is Alpha. Shit's going to happen. Risk can be mitigated somewhat by relogging before death. If problem persists, submit bug report.

Keep discussion focused on the OP's topic. Meme posts without contributing content will be deleted. Thank you for staying on topic.

Lawyer up. Delete Facebook. Hit the gym. And while you're at it, submit a bug report, take a deep breath, and realize we're in alpha. Closing thread.

CoD is the biggest game out there in the FPS genre so it's the standard measurement of skill and as such I think it's fair to say it's valid to have your CoD achievements on display in any FPS game. If this was a Diablo 3 forum' date=' it wouldn't make sense but it's not. [/quote'] That's adorable. Really it is.

Adding this option gives women something more identifiable to play with and presents an interesting question as to whether the players will treat female players the same. As a simulation in human interaction and psychology, it's a win-win.

I always get a chuckle from men who feel they have to announce the reason they play as females in game is to enjoy the view. As if the mere sight of a man clothed ass and backside might make you feel uncomfortable. Perish the thought. But unsolicited advice and announcements is what the internet is known for. Please don't admit you're only playing a female to take advantage of an insecure player-base. :)

Continue discussion here, preferably without the tired internet jokes: http://dayzmod.com/forum/showthread.php?tid=8131 Thanks

You should be playing this game long enough to realize nothing is made or tweaked with the benefit of "player balance" in mind. Why should this be any different?

Great group of guys. Really loving the off-time server settings too.

Closed due to thread creator request.

You should submit a suggestions thread.

As of right now, there is no difference in accomplishment from a pvp'r who dies consistently in Cherno to the survivalist that camps in the North for days on end. Not where the game is concerned. As long as both groups enjoy what they do, they are experiencing the side of DayZ they want and arguably the one they deserve. Neither is more correct but still this sense of imbalance remains. It's the sense of effort that goes into being a survivalist compared to the anarchist. You want to last the longest and hopefully find some cool toys along the way. The pvp'r is just interested in shooting things. Both, arguably, get enjoyment out of their preferred play-styles but one takes a hell of a lot more effort to achieve. Human nature generally follows the path of least resistance unless you introduce riskier alternatives.

This thread is pretty strong flame bait, regardless of original intention. If you guys can have a thoughtful discourse without resorting to personal attacks, I'll leave it open. Other admins may reserve the right to overrule that decision so you've been warned. Personally I don't find the argument to deep to have a discussion about. For many, CoD is what a lot of people know, and that's how they will play. But...we can't always blame CoD for basic human nature in a video game to murder the shit out of another human-controlled character for giggles.

Talk nicely. No name-calling. You may end up in someone's scope one day.

I'm sorry to hear your misfortune with loosing your progress. I personally don't know the standing operating procedure regarding character save resets but I'm guessing you're going to have to relog a new character. :( In the meantime, I encourage you to submit a bug report here: http://dayzmod.com/forum/forumdisplay.php?fid=6 detailing all you know of the incident so the devs can properly treat this bug. You may also see if a dev can load a previous save state but since this is alpha, I don't think that's too high a priority. Closing thread but please submit a bug report so we can get this fixed. :)

Realism before difficulty I say. Or rather, difficulty because of realism.

The same thing will happen to you eventually. Circle of life and all that.

I sympathize with losing your progress to a hacker but you shouldn't let it affect you too deeply. Death in Day Z comes hard and fast even in the most optimal of circumstances. Whether through Zeds, bandits, falling off balconies or the odd server hiccup that makes it impossible to bandage your hemorrhaging jugular. Stuff's going to happen. Evidence helps but in the end it's probably best to find another server. :/

Maybe you can petition rocket for a sunglasses item.
