    Indeed, the developers do permit you to name your server and to control certain variables like 3rd Person View and Starting Time. That's what you're paying for when you rent a server, that's the consideration you receive in your contract when you pay money to a server hosting company. That's it. You agree to and are morally required to abide by the rules that the developers stipulate as conditions for renting a server. The developers have a strong moral right to manage their intellectual property.

    No, you should condemn it as wrong. People who rent servers are not entitled to have any say in how the game is run. Renting a server is not the same as purchasing a license to run the game the way you want to, or to alter it and compete against the developers with a derivative work. It is a violation of your agreement with the developers and hosting companies, and makes you an oathbreaker and someone who doesn't keep his word. A liar, in plain terms. It is an egregious assault on the moral rights of the developers.

    System to Punish KoS

    wgaf replied to CyberVillain (DayZ)'s topic in General Discussion

    The whole idea of DayZ is a game where nothing is done to change how people behave. It's human nature simulator.

    Books you've found

    wgaf replied to raynor009's topic in General Discussion

    So far my favorite book I've found is a volume from the Mahabharata. As an aside, if someone was sitting on the ground reading a book he would be targeted for extermination, probably fed an extermination dose while he was sitting down. I collect books and I for one would be interested in possibly acquiring it in the aftermath.

    System to Punish KoS

    wgaf replied to CyberVillain (DayZ)'s topic in General Discussion

    meta-gaming, power-gaming, arcade style stuff. Not really fit for DayZ. Maybe people who want to fight could get sent to an arena. By magic.

    Just me or are people missing the point?

    wgaf replied to CaptRandom (DayZ)'s topic in General Discussion

    You might be surprised to learn that the standalone game was made available to the public in an early stage of development. Before all the features have been added.

    We would be very interested in a bible, it's one of the books I'm looking for. I like to collect rare and interesting books both in the game and in real life. Aside from doing Medical Division work I pretty much just poke around looking for books.

    Stream Sniping A Huge Problem

    wgaf replied to Mojomaster001's topic in General Discussion

    Play stupid games, win stupid prizes. Video game streamers want attention, it sounds like they're getting it.

    System to Punish KoS

    wgaf replied to CyberVillain (DayZ)'s topic in General Discussion

    That's pretty much exactly what they already have in the game...

    Indeed, none of the thugs and wreckers who threatened to interrupt our work managed to interfere today. I was once again hit by a maniac vermin with a pipe wrench, and knocked unconscious this time, but I regained consciousness and received the best medical care from our group. The perpetrator was exterminated on the spot. I was also mere moments away from being hit with an axe by a different vermin, but he was exterminated at the last possible instant. We encountered no hostile gunfire.
  12. wgaf
    Well then you will have the privilege of being pleasantly surprised!

    People already know all about dayz, since it's been a mod for a long time, and they know this is an early alpha. Nobody with half a brain expects that what we have now will be all there is in the future. Right now, all there is is 'deathmatching and running.' Everyone expects that this will change as the development progresses and more stuff is added. Right now the buzz is that they've sold 700,000 something copies while its in early alpha, that 700+ thousand people have bet 30 bucks each its going to be a good game eventually.

    I literally do it with tally marks on the back of an envelope :D
  15. wgaf
    Yeah, you risk your gear and the time it takes to get it.
  16. wgaf
    You can tell people's names by looking at their faces? Or is it by psychic powers?

    .357 op

    wgaf replied to Renji121's topic in General Discussion

    I should add that almost all my experience with the .357 has been head shots at close range.

    .357 op

    wgaf replied to Renji121's topic in General Discussion

    It's not that the 357 is overpowered, its that the 5.56 is underpowered.

    Killed by a Bug, No more playing for me.

    psychological effects of banditry

    wgaf replied to SpetsnazGRU (DayZ)'s topic in General Discussion

    This is unnecessary. People already have psychological reactions to their behavior. We've had two of our junior members stop playing with the Medical Division because they didn't really enjoy what we were doing.

    Results are in Gentlemen Another day's work in Kamyshovo. 50 exterminations. We've started to take trophy pics next to successfully exterminated targets as well, we've got oodles of them:
  22. wgaf
    Wasn't us. If one of our guys gets shot the rest live to fight (and more importantly, do our work) another day.
  23. wgaf
    There is a very limited amount of gear in the game at the moment, it's not hard to figure out the optimal stuff.This may change in the future (I hope it does!) but the people with the best gear get it by server hopping at military areas, firehouses, hospitals, and the locations where press vests spawn.
  24. wgaf
    Kamyshovo, cap Golova maybe? Maybe solnichny, and I think still novy sobor. And can confirm elektro.
  25. wgaf
    We're very skilled at organizing and gearing up our group, picking a location, securing it, spotting candidates for extermination, making contact, convincing them of our good intentions, shepherding them back to the appropriate area, convincing them to allow us to administer extermination doses and perform medical experiments, then completing their extermination, while at the same time safeguarding our own group members' lives. We have almost no interest at all in getting into or winning firefights.
