cj14 189 Posted January 27, 2014 So...I joined a regular server to play with a friend and I realize my character is a fresh spawn...so we tried another server and then we realize there are 2 character on your DayZ copy...one for Hardcore and one for Regular servers where the only difference is the permission to use 3rd person view (which I've never used in the game). I think is stupid...I gotta start all over again just for a regular server? player should be persistent across ALL servers, private or public, regular or hardcore Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

enforcer1975 1111 Posted January 27, 2014 Well too bad for you. Of course you wouldn't want it too easy now would you? Next big thing should be even less loot and limited restarts per day on hardcore servers to sort the wheat from the chaff. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ZedsDeadBaby 2287 Posted January 27, 2014 Pick a mode and stick with it. It's really that easy. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Etherious 907 Posted January 27, 2014 LOL This is old news xD Also, I like the idea to have two different characters, it makes it harder. :) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Timecharge 28 Posted January 27, 2014 TO MY KNOWLEDGE, It is designed so that players using the 3pp look-around-corners feature/exploit cannot get gear that will allow them to go to a 1pp server and kill players in 1pp using the gear that they got in 3pp with the look-around-corners feature/exploit. Its a fair system and reduces the complaining about players who use 1pp having to deal with players who use the 3pp feautre/exploit to get gear 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
blacklabel79 949 Posted January 27, 2014 (edited) me and brother fuchur just started a new char on hardcore.

Problematic 71 Posted January 27, 2014 ^ Lol, you got killed because you went AFK and blame it on the perspective you played in? What part of that story couldn't have happened in a 3PP server? To OP: Sort server list on game-mode, only play top/bottom servers - fixed! I like the separation of both characters between game modes. Really can't see any downsides to it. If you want to play 1PP only you know you're gonna only encounter players who deliberately chose to play that game-style (and same goes for 3PP I guess). There are a lot of servers to choose from so you're not limited in any way whatsoever. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

YassirX 54 Posted January 27, 2014 (edited) I've started with Regular/Veteran Servers but as soon as I realized how abusive the 3rd person view actually is... I switched to Hardcore-Servers.It took some time to get used to first person only, but I have to say that after about 10 hours playing in hardcore I cannot go back to 3rd person, tested it and it feels weird.The whole immersion is a lot bigger in first person view and if you have got good peripheral vision you can discern yourself from the rest.

Zombie Jesus 723 Posted January 27, 2014 I like having more than one character. When my buddies play we all log out at the same area and now that there is a separate hive I can just play a different character to lone wolf with. I enjoy both perspectives so I do not really care that I am in 1PP only as a lone wolf plus I do not have to run for 30 minutes after I die just to play with buddies during our next session. Well too bad for you. Of course you wouldn't want it too easy now would you? Next big thing should be even less loot and limited restarts per day on hardcore servers to sort the wheat from the chaff. Limited restarts? For a game you bought you actually want it to lock you out of playing, man the internet is a strange place. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bad_mojo (DayZ) 1204 Posted January 27, 2014 Limited restarts? For a game you bought you actually want it to lock you out of playing, man the internet is a strange place. He means they should restrict the restarts to a minimum of (for example) 6 hours. Currently the hardcore server I'm forced(due to it being populated) play on advertises "fast loot" meaning they restart it frequently, to inject more loot into the world. This goes against the nature of a hardcore experience. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
