Sweet avatar duuuuude. If I still had Arma installed I'd help.

I've seen someone on here who calls themselves the DayZ journalist or something like that. I would try and get in touch with them. I love to read stories but I can't stand to read more than a few before wanting to boot up and play myself. This way I could listen while I play this or Skyrim.

Definitely would've shot you as soon as he could.

No proof to either story. OP post a video of them spawning the box, server dudes post the logs. Cut the girly finger pointing out and try to actually get to the bottom of it.

I seriously like this idea!

The hell did you have to do to get on there? lol Also, that can't be real money can it?

Where is your sig from?

*puts in makarov* *takes out AK/M4/AS50 5 minutes later* *trollface*

Looked like you went to loot him after you killed him, if so, I see no problem with this. However, you purposely killed him cause he wouldn't listen to you and was obviously going about his business? Dick move. I was playing Lingor and saw a guy running, followed by a group of 3 guys. Turns out the 3 guys offered us both help. Guy in the group (we'll refer to him as groupdouche from now on) was talking over side chat asking if the other guy needed help cause he had a lot of aggro). About a minute passed as we ran into a barn to type out no thanks... other guy gets his out and is going back and forth with mr. groupdouche. I have mine almost ready to send when groupdouche comes in spraying an AK killing us both. I asked him why he killed us and he said because we didn't respond. Which was funny because he was having a conversation with other guy 10 seconds before. When I pointed this out to him with mentioning that we were running the complete opposite direction they were heading he changed his story to "ok so I went out of my way for 2 kills" Like WTF. If you want attention that badly that when it's not given it's forcefully taken, and then you laugh about it like you're happy you just did it knowing you ruined his time playing, the fuck kind of sad life are you living that that seems like something funny to do? I don't get it. I know it's only a game and all but what the fuck. This gameplay caters to sociopaths.

Was ready to jump down your throat for being d-bags but it seems they brought it on themselves this time by using side chat. I used to be up in arms about bandits but DayZ is so fucking boring now I'm starting to understand it.

How hard is it to fucking read? I've seen numerous people on here being grammar Nazi's when the OP isn't even that bad. Is this what these forums have become?

I was just on Skalisty Island, and while swimming back to the mainland I lost 95% of my inventory. Not just my pack either. Everything I had in my gear, the L85, etc. All in all I lost: 1x Coyote pack 2x NVG's 1x Rangefinder 2x Ghillie suit 1x L85 1x M4A3 CCO 10x Stanag mags 3x Morphine 1x Camping tent 3x Bandages 1x Antibiotics 2x Painkillers And probably more that I can't remember off the top of my head. I was just swimming with my NVG's on and all of a sudden my screen just went black... just like that my pack was gone, my L85 is gone, everything I had in my gear is just GONE. Now I'm running around with 3 bandages, a G17 with 4 mags, and everything I had on my tool belt. At least I have that. Is there some kind of roleplay element to it like you need to drop weight so you don't drown or is it just a seriously annoying glitch?

I guess I'll role play it like I narrowly escaped making it across. Wish I at least didn't lose the L85 though. :(

...or have tents on Skalisty Island. Guess I know who's tent it was now. Wish I made a mental note of the server. I'm 99% certain it was the one I think but I don't want to condemn the wrong one.

So you're telling me that servers can somehow enable you to lose items when you swim? Am I understanding that correctly?

Oh good, you've decided to go against the grain to make yourself feel and look like a tough guy. :thumbsup: How original.

Fixed it for ya.

From what I understand the standalone will have much more content than the mod. Which makes it all the more important to not have a bunch of other players around to completely destroy everything you've gained (found, built, etc.) in the course of that life. I can't wrap my head around why they're not only ignoring pleas from obvious fans of the gameplay but just aren't fans of PVP, but going so far as to censor topics even discussing other options. They actually think it's going to be FUN meticulously building a big home base camp, spending however long training your dog to the fullest, and searching every nook and cranny for cool stuff, only to be killed and "Welp, time to do all that over again." "I hope they haven't hid my body, killed my dog and blown up/cleared out my camp... *runs for X amount of time* "Oh they did." Well it sure is going to be fun spending X hours of my precious gaming time doing the same loot loops, rebuilding my entire camp, finding and training another dog, and scavenging the whole map all over again."

I watched the voice changer videos on youtube and thought they were hilarious. Then I actually met someone in game (who wasn't the guy from youtube) and he tried to be serious about and it just wasn't funny.

Survival game? You just literally described COD/BF gameplay. Being in an big open map doesn't magically make the game any different. I stopped playing COD during MW2. It just became boring to just keep spawning and shooting everything that moves, then repeat 1000 times. If that's the gameplay Rocket and his team are vying for than I may not be buying the standalone. Everyone that usually replies to my posts criticizing PVP say that it's what makes the game difficult. Well I say any game that a pre-teen has the same chance at killing someone as a RL military veteran is not a difficult game. As someone previously described, it's just an open world COD. Regardless of how much content is added. Some random guy could run up to you while your back is turned or snipe you from 900m away. "You should be paying attention all the time." Yeah. Constantly being paranoid that someone could make the last hours of my life completely pointless at any second is not fun to me. I play video games to have fun. Imagine if Fallout had this "when you die you're done" aspect. Whenever you die everything you've earned and unlocked was taken from you and you had to start over every single time. In a nutshell that's what this game does. I don't think many people would play it them. FO wouldn't be fun By your logic no one should even leave the coast if it's as you described it. Just shoot the other guy before he kills you. What's the point in trying to survive by the actual definition. If we get the option to non-PVP you'd have no one but yourself to blame when you died. Maybe it's because I prefer to play games solo and I don't like to be responsible for anyone but myself, but I prefer playing games to relax after a long day at work. When I get home I'm usually exhausted. I prefer to play games in a relaxing atmosphere. This game has the potential to rival Fallout with it's gameplay. Even surpass it in some respects. It'll always come down to 2 groups of people playing this game (from what I can see it is already). The ones that like PVP and the ones that put up with it to play by themselves or with friends. I can foresee people getting tired of PVP. Based on the number of topics stating that people don't really like getting killed by other people and Rocket and team's not only ignorance of them but trying to downright censor the topics discussing it, is evidence enough that if players don't get other options than empty servers, this gameplay is doomed to fail. That was my opinion.

IN MY OPINION: This mod (and game too apparently) are doomed to fail because of no option to not PVP besides go onto an empty server. Not everyone wants to play Myself vs. Server full of possible assholes.

You can use both. When you put on a ghillie suit you get the "civilian clothes"added in its place in your inventory. When you take off one you put on the other. So if you put the ghillie on, due to your humanity being so high, your civi clothes would mean you change back into the Hero skin.

Holy shit he's finally acknowledging what I've been trying to say this whole time. Still not getting it... but we're making progress! :thumbsup: :thumbsup: :thumbsup: It wouldn't... that's the whole point. For the love of god please let it catch this time. Your ideal DayZ is PVP, my ideal DayZ is the same....... without other players or even on servers where players help each other survive.

Completely agree. I could see it being boring how it is right now. Just running through the woods from place to place looting the same piles over and over. If they add dogs like Rocket has thrown around and building structures, more animals, more threats, better weather, etc. It has the potential to be one of the best RPG experiences I can think of. Imagine you go through the process of building a shelter for example and have trained your dog to the fullest, etc. Then some clan of douchebags comes around, kills you, kills your dog, and blows up the structure you spent however many hours building. The risk of that happening (which we can all agree is 99% likely to happen) makes me not want to even bother utilizing the features Rocket is working so hard to envision and put into the game.
