Maselko 17 Posted February 26, 2014 (edited) Seriously, firefights in hardcore are MUCH much better. In regular it's basically free wallhack for everyone. Especially in urban areas, if you are behind cover you automatically win as you can spot enemies but cannot be seen. This is really unfair, discuss?

iBane 381 Posted February 26, 2014 Are you on experimental branch or stable? Experimental servers are all busy and they are all hardcore. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
chekovp 89 Posted February 26, 2014 (edited) I think it might become more popular once new players start getting a feel for the game. Most people new to a game want every advantage they can get. Are you on experimental branch or stable? Experimental servers are all busy and they are all hardcore. Also this. ^ I play on the experimental hardcore servers when I play solo, because I enjoy it the most. When I am playing with friends though, we play on regular servers because they are new to the game and I'm trying to teach them the basics of the game and help them learn the map. Hopefully soon I will be playing on HC exp servers with my friends. Edited February 26, 2014 by ChekovP Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Gobbokirk 546 Posted February 26, 2014 Hmmm where have I seen this discussion before? I am starting to think we need stickies to all the dead horse topics. Not saying OP's points aren't valid but new posts on it each day is getting really boring. 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Caboose187 (DayZ) 3036 Posted February 26, 2014 2 reasons. Some people think this game is an mmorpg and some need the ability to see around corners because it's cheap. 18 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
PhillyT 554 Posted February 26, 2014 Because of if 3PP is like a free wall hack then Hardcore is like playing with blinders and a lobotomy. Hardcore is less interesting and prone to just being a bunch of jerks. I have met all of 2 players who weren't there just to shoot people on the ARC hardcore server. It is fun for what it is, but the lack of variety in player encounters makes it boring. 5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

DrSubs 18 Posted February 26, 2014 Because people like to look around corners and out doors to get the upper hand when camping. They don't want to actually have to try to kill you. They want it to be easy. Simple 9 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It is fun for what it is, but the lack of variety in player encounters makes it boring. That's strange I found the exact opposite, I've had way more positive interaction on hardcore servers. And I prefer hardcore just because I get much more immersed in the game, I know a lot of people don't like it because its "clunky" but I kinda like how it feels personally. Maybe it something I've gotten used to being an arma player. 7 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Started a char on a hardcore server a couple of days ago and much prefer the overall gameplay and interaction compared to regular servers. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Zjasuu 337 Posted February 26, 2014 Discuss? The controls are so awkward and clumsy that I'm not playing HC mode until they do something about the controls, also I feel really limited when I play HC. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
wingman.edu 55 Posted February 26, 2014 I think it might become more popular once new players start getting a feel for the game. Most people new to a game want every advantage they can get.I started playing only on Regular servers with 3PP. I think it helps a lot when trying to learn and understand the unique/frustrating Arma/DayZ control scheme, and just how your character responds to these controls. Now that I have a really good understanding of controls and map, I play exclusively on hardcore. I've generally found most people on the hardcore servers to be generally nicer and less likely to shoot you for fun.I have also noticed this trend... Also, 3PP makes for much nicer Selfies ;p 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

PhillyT 554 Posted February 26, 2014 Because people like to look around corners and out doors to get the upper hand when camping. They don't want to actually have to try to kill you. They want it to be easy. Simple There is nothing easier about Regular servers. The advantages of being able to move without having people watch from behind walls is just as great as being able to look over walls. I generally only play on the ARC server because here in the North Eastern United States, that is the only hardcore server that has more than 10 players at any given time. The ARC server is a hive of scum and villainy. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

wingman.edu 55 Posted February 26, 2014 And turning head bob all the way down in the gameplay settings is very helpful for first person! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
djporternz 644 Posted February 26, 2014 Are you on experimental branch or stable? Experimental servers are all busy and they are all hardcore. Not true. Only about 2 of the 4~6 servers in each geo-zone are Hardcore. The others are Regular. But you're right, they are all always packed! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GrappleX 354 Posted February 26, 2014 Because first person plays like shit. Also, saying that every person on regular servers uses 3pp to look over walls is moronic. Not everybody is a douche. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Rudette 435 Posted February 26, 2014 (edited) I personally find the hardcore experience more harrowing because it's easier to get snuck up on. I'm an incredibly paranoid sufferer of anxiety...Even so, the stress is astounding.That said, I think the "hardcore" hives will be more meaningful when there is more to separate them from normal hives than just first person.And..FOR SCIENCE..My own personal experiences are that I get shot at less on hardcore. Although, right now I'm pretty indifferent. I just like having more than one character. Edited February 26, 2014 by Rudette 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
