Toilet 204 Posted July 3, 2012 Any chance of you putting up some in game screens of the base/checkpoint thing you guys made?I hate to say it, but, duping has really made this mod less enjoyable for those of us who don't, and while I can see why it was necessary for you to dupe the fortifications, I still hate the fact that you did. But I guess it's somewhat the mechanics fault for it being able to be done.Moral standpoint aside, I just really don't see how you could of done it otherwise. And I have been waiting for someone to try this for a few months now, also I'm glad to hear it went relatively well. I hope you don't receive a ban for this because at least you were using duping for "good" more or less, and not personal gain, assuming of course, that you did not.

kichael 0 Posted July 3, 2012 I bumped into this a day or two ago. Took one screenshot. http://cloud-2.steampowered.com/ugc/594722983583427845/23BBEFF35B44BF10E6F01D6D49869B835482DC13/I'm glad that you left an area to walk through, at first I thought it was all walled off and I wouldn't be able to get through.

septuscap 42 Posted July 3, 2012 I agree saddly something like this is just no where near practial in terms of players needed to make and sustain.Just b/c you're not willing to even have a buddy keep sights on a stranger while you go approach him doesn't mean it's not practical. Just b/c you're not willing to make a city doesn't mean it's not possible. There's a common thread between the survivors who bitch and what they do in-game.

Tempered Saint 1 Posted July 3, 2012 Noble effort guys. I think a better idea would have been to take over a building and use that as your safe haven. Maybe a fire station or office building. That way you don't need so much barricade and could be in the middle of things where newbies need the help the most. Killing off nearby zombies would give you something to do to make the guard duty more fun. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You should definitely hate us. The scale of this was huge but even for this, if u collect just a few materials a day, u can finish this in less than a month. we built this in just a couple of hours, that's neither fair nor realistic.whether is was for good purpose or not, what we did was wrong and it is very reasonable if i get banned for it.I really really hope the duping bug is fixed..fast! it should takelike a month for these projects.going for loot runs would be another fun experience but sadly we only focused in building them quickly. i think the current spawnrate for wires and tanktraps are just perfect except for the sandbags. sandbags should be more commonThank you all for your opinions and discussions. You guys are really helping makingthe game better^^ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

bahhh 83 Posted July 3, 2012 Thank you all for your positive opinions, but i don't think we deserve it.we used bugs for this to happen, and it is wrong..I posted this so there could be a discussion to make the game better. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BaitedHook 24 Posted July 3, 2012 thumbs up from me. those of you who judge him for duping and exploit please dont let your morals stop you to see the greater picture. this might be the start of player developed cities instead of static towns like cherno or elek.hell in the future i hope all the cities are player made and we try to raid each other and fight over territories Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bower 4 Posted July 3, 2012 Although it isn't good you used an exploit to make it happen it's very cool to see how the world can be changed by the players and cool/funny stuff happening because of it. I just hope stuff like this is made viable using legitimate methods sometime in the future. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Lukio (DayZ) 24 Posted July 3, 2012 Although I like the idea of player bases/forts, I'd prefer them to be only doable at claimable fixed locations that are semi-random, similar to the helicopter spawn. The base setup you made looks pretty decent, but all the amount of concertina and tank traps look like they may put too much additional strain on the server Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
