Tyrael75 (DayZ) 21 Posted January 10, 2014 I guess because the devs have a vision for what the game is, and they don't want people to turn it into something else before it is even finished.I think it also has to do with the idea that everyone should be allowed to play on the servers, that they aren't exclusive clubs. Well, if they decide not to honour a deal they have agreed to, I think it is entirely fair.When you rent a server you promise to abide by the rules, not doing it is dishonest.So you're saying that rocket had intentions of HIS game leaning towards the "shoot everything that moves regardless of zombie, player or inanimate object" We all know hes trying to mitigate that mentality to a degree where it ISN'T the only play style that SHOULD be played within the game world.

shagohad 124 Posted January 10, 2014 make a private hive when they are allowed, and have it be a PvE. Seem fine to me. I wont play there but you are welcome to it. At the moment though I dont take any server seriously that tries to put artificial rules up. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Max Planck 7174 Posted January 10, 2014 hipocrisy at it's finest. dean made dayZ, which is itself a mod. to make a mod, you need a base game. dean changed arma 2 from what it was originally into dayZ. he didn't make arma 2, but did he bother with that bullshit arguement? no. because it's bullshit. already used about four times on this thread, already debunked. There's the mod and then there's the game. In the mod you can have 'PvE only' servers and you can enforce your rule with bans.In the standalone game (which isn't even in beta yet), there are some rules that you have to follow if you want to rent a server. I don't see the hypocrisy here. 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Merrick362 (DayZ) 263 Posted January 10, 2014 Thank you. I wasn't even going to reply. The dev team can have whatever restrictions they so choose. If they wanted, they could entirely remove the option to rent a server. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

That's not what I am saying.I'm saying that the intention is to have people who hunt other people and people who don't, on the same servers.

AmmokKDE 8 Posted January 17, 2014 1. I am pretty sure noone can get your server closed down legally, just because DEVs tell you how you have to set up your (<-- YOUR!!!) server.2. Whatever server hoster i go and take a look, there aren´t any rules at all about what you may/may not do. And i certainly doubt all those hosters are breaking the rules themselves by not telling you in advance.3. Kicking everyone upon joining is allowed but naming your server like you want to isn´t? You can´t be serious... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Its the hosting services server, you just rent space on their database.Fairly certain autokicking is worthy of getting taken down, just report the server to its provider.

Hutch (DayZ) 116 Posted January 17, 2014 How can they "ALLOW" something that doesn't exist? There's no such ting as a PvE server. The game is designed the way it's designed.If you don't like PvP, there are a few single player zombie games available. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
antonioajc 500 Posted January 17, 2014 That's because it will be loot gathering fest. This is not how Dean envisions the game to be. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Caboose187 (DayZ) 3036 Posted January 17, 2014 Dude, it's like asking why doesn't Battlefield have a pve server? Because that's not the type of game it is. If you want pve go play WoW Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
420jeppe 28 Posted January 17, 2014 Why aren't this type of server allowed? Because it's not a part of this game. Go make your own game with PVE? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Deity 54 Posted January 17, 2014 I love how these PvE pro people scream saying they should be able to do what they want while at the same time trying to restrict another fellow gamers freedom to do what they want. Gotta love that internet. Basically this. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
