Possible solution to loot camping and lack of server control.

Recommended Posts

I have been playing Dayz for a few week now and i remember i started playing by myself struggling to find a weapon. Later on my buddy joined the game did not get easier thank goodness!, but it was easier to find a weapon and more fun too.

I started renting a server and from time to time me and my friend had to stock on supply in one of the hospitals in Chernogorsk. Thats where i first learned about loot camping, i saw people joining my server and spawn next to the tent i was currently at, then quickly loot what they could and leave.

If you keep doing that on every server you join you can stock on equipment really fast.

If your survivor could only be on the server it was created on there would be no hacking, loot camping or griefing because you would know where the players has been playing and getting their equipment from.

If your survivor is on the server you play only and you put a password on your server then the game becomes easier as you no longer have to worry about other players shooting you....but then again if the server is passworded and your survivor can not move servers why would you care how people play the game?.

Right now admins are banning left and right knowing its against the rules, but they do it because they have no idea who they are playing with or if they killed you with equipment that was aquired by playing or by hacking.

The reason i play this mod its because you have so much to lose, either by getting killed by zombies, lack of supplys or by players, people that loot camp has nothing to lose.

I agree and disagree with op.

If you restrict our characters to one server you get

-no server hoping

-no disconect moving a certain distance and reconnect

-Get to know the same people

but the bad is

-if server is full you cant join

-If server goes down you lose everything

-if admin is a douch you cant just leave

Its a double edged sword

Very true. You are also going to be playing with basically the same people all the time.

To be honest i dont like the way the mod is going at the moment, but rocket and devs have said no servers should have "passwords". Their has been alot of admins abusing and servers getting blacklisted....

just look up threads in the Announcements/Ban appeals/cheat reporting..

If your looking for threads on server-hopping/loot-farming/server-amush then just look in General discussion, big topics at present.

The problem is you would get sick of the mod after a week, if everybody was friendly?? Because you start getting to know them.

Takes the suspence and excitement out of it... But something has to done about server-hopping/loot-farming/server-amush.

What needs to be done is some way to make Surviving beneficial. At the moment Bandits have ALL the benefits. While Survivors have nothing.

Jackpot, exactly this. As a bandit they have all. Its one sided

A creative way of how you spawn in to a new server (when u switch servers) is all that is needed to fix this. There has been many suggestions and I'm sure the devs can figure out something that works.

I am against having your character locked to one server.

What does it even mean ? Bandits have all the benefits? What benefits are we talking about here? Bandits are survivors as well, they are just bandits.
