ptk (DayZ)

it really wasn't meant to be, directed at you specifically and i apologize if you took it that way. I just see thread after thread full of snippy, narrow minded comments and felt compelled to keep another forum user from getting discouraged, seeing as he is a bit new...

My statement was an overall generalization about threads such as these. Seeing as how hes a bit new to tue forums, i was giving him a little advice about how people will argue their point into oblivion. I play both so i really don't give two shits about what someone prefers. But i also don't claim that one way is better than the other, or that people should play a certain way because i think it's the way to play. Nothing i said was directed towards you specifically or your comments, otherwise i would have quoted you or at least put your name in my post. I did neither. Perhaps you are the one who needs to go back and read lol.

Hey man, after being here for awhile you will come to see hundreds of threads like these where the 1st person fanatics will rant and rave about how their way to play is the only way, even going so far as to say 3rd person view should be removed entirely. Don't let them get you down my friend. Normally, you won't find rational discussion past the 1st page in threads such as this...

I care, a whole great big bunch of care (hugs)!

Carl got fingered that episode... He's a man now!

I think, for the scope of the game, thermals would be fine. I mean it's cold in that area of the world and a good set of thermals would go a long way to keeping warm, plus if the made the kind where you can unbutton the backside, you could make a potty easier...

Everyone here should already know what makes Dayz. IT is the fucking beans fellas, have some!

Does this mean that we won't be able to call down nuclear strikes either?

This thread reminds me of those times in gradeschool where all the boys would argue over who the toughest kid was, little chests all puffed out and squawking like chickens. I would just climb up the jungle gym and spit on them without them knowing lol...

Stupid phone!

Do you think it has to go that far as to wipe someones memory? I would assume that when you spawn on the coast as a grown man or woman, that your character posses some memory and some knowledge. Now given in Dayz i don't think removing meta gaming is possible, and i don't think that it should even try to. But i can't help but think that meta gaming ruins a survival game at it's core because we have external sources of knowledge that we wouldn't be able to access if we washed up on the coast. I think this is the most fundamentally flawed concept of Dayz. Whether rocket agrees or not well... Regardless, to me an ideal survival game would take you as you are, with whatever knowledge and understanding you have and throw you in the game, say a console type system with just this game installed with random spawns on a map the size of the known world, no way to communicate through external programs or no place to go to look up info- no map sites, forums, etc...There is very little chance to link up with friends or anything like that. Just you alone, dealing with the environment and people as they come into your in game existence... I don't think it could ever be done, but i think that would be enough to wipe the meta game and the concept sounds pretty intense....

Is it just me or does anyone think that the op's posts are a bit contradictory? I mean, you say that most of your group is ex military which would tell me that they should know that if they want to be a successful unit, the needs of the group far exceed the needs of the individual, ie- sharing loot to benefit all rather than some silly "claimed" rule drummed up on a television show... This seems very counterintuitive to not only group behavior in general and the concept of teamwork, but everything i have learned as a combat veteran. Using a rule like "claimed" also indicates no real chain of command or leadership present among the group, which doesn't help in any way, especially given the fact that most of your group is ex-military and have been trained to behave in this manner rather than surviving through highschool antics... I'm not trying to attack you op, but it this just seems counterintuitive to me, given the training your group has had. Your thoughts?

Change the title to: "Ran into a skilled player tonight, so obvious too."

I think you need 9 stone blocks...

This thread made me hungry for tacos...

Lol, 8 pages of utter craptastic nonsense and now I've heard it all: it's steams fault for allowing us to buy EA dayz SA! Wow! What happened to let the buyer beware? You all seriously want steam to hold your hand and tell you what games to buy? Are you so incredibly weak-willed that you buy whatever you get "hyped" up about, that you are here crying because you bought into the "hype." EA is what it is, when the majority of people stop paying into them, they will cease to be marketable. Most of you cry babies here believe that it's a bad concept, however you obviously aren't in the majority because EA games are selling left and right, so you can either continue to buy them and therefore continue to cry about them, OR you can... Stop investing money into the "hype." The biggest impact you could ever make in this regard is to vote with your dollars. I thought this was obvious, don't buy into "hype." You people act like it's heroin... If EA upsets you, gets you paranoid, makes you feel uneasy, then i suggest you stop paying into them, or at least be a smart consumer about your purchasing and make an informed decision. Yes, that means doing more research that watching a lul video on Youtube... In terms of Dayz, $30 well spent and look, steam doesn't need to change my pampers...

My post had little to do with what was being censored and more to do with consistency and without bias. i don't dislike the mods here, i was simply making an observation. Rick, someone just posted a to my friend from... Was this you who he is walking about?

I hear you, but i can understand that censorship more if there was an actual pattern of it. Do you know how many posts I've seen using the "r" word in the past? This literally the first time I've seen you guys frown upon it and i know because in reality, it really, really bothers me when people use this word. Not only that but it seems that the censorship here is whimsical, dancing around a vague rule set (the infamous number #9, yea we all know that one) in which the noose becomes tightened when it's one of the general community populace, and yet loosened when it's a more popular communith member, or a friend/member and/or a member of a particular "stinky," and unshaven gaming clan... I'm not upset or frustrated when making this point. However it is very evident that this takes place. Sorry Rick, don't mean to DErail here. We all have our trust broken my friend, we all dwell in the darkness from time to time. But we get to come back Rick, we do. We all get to come back...

Beans for everyone here! Melee combat needs to be adressed when they have the opportunity, even if it just means tweaking the damage on some...

Dogs with rocket launcher packs...

Sounds like you and lee take turns with ball gags and rubber hotdogs.

Ahh word y'all, i think i be jivin wit chu now. What you sayin is dat deez bitches, which you ain't be gettin, be all scandalizin and vandilizin dat swaggalizin shiz dat you been capitalizin, and now you blamin da motha fuckin 5 oh! Tru dat...

Makes sense. Yea, i just don't see how you could tie them all in and regulate the number of servers to the number of players unless it was ran by bohemia and the economic incentive was there...

Yea, i just assumed it was like tf2 or l4d, some valve ran servers, with more community hosted ones...

I didn't think bohemias servers could compensate for 30 million plus people gaming, not that they all would play at once. I was under the impression that most servers were rented as opposed to being operated by bohemia. I understand what your saying now and agree. Still, the private hives would theoretically help sell more games, with the ability to entice more playstyles (pve for example) to the Dayz community...
