JinxTheJoker 1 Posted April 10, 2019 (edited) Server hopping is literally ruining me and my friends fun on DayZ due to multiple issues that it causes! I want to talk about the many ways it can cause a huge problem, to show it's a real nuisance for us and gives server hoppers such a huge advantage! ~SH is Server hopping~ Team Fights! So I would say this happened to me twice but I'm just going to talk about the recent one but there almost similar. So I and my two friends were going to going to one of the big towns near the Big airfield for items and food for our base. When we were getting close we heard gunshots in town, so we got in an area where I can see a good view of the town. Just want to clarify how we position us to fight them, two snipers and a scout, me and my friend were the snipers and we're separated just to make sure if one of gets caught I can try to get the guy or run depends. I'm not going full story mode but something happens with our scout and had to start the fight early (He went around a corner and accidentally ran into a zombie and I guess he got spooked and shot him), during a firefight someone killed me very quickly because he was behind me then my friend turn and found out it was one of the dudes he saw when we were checking how many players in town. Luckily we won but I died due to SH. Base hopping This never happened to me but I know this could be a possibility, find a base and just SH middle of the base and kill or steal, I always feel like there's going be random land mine when going around my base. Looting This really bothers me, I have to go to town to town or military or whatever. I hate that a person just needs to find a military spawn close to them and start SH, then after a few hops then there set for life and since there probably still near a player spawn they can go have fun killing fresh spawn and ruining their gameplay experience. They can also SH helicopter spawns which really annoys me since they can get the very rare loot very quickly. Scraping So I know this might sound strange but we had this happen quite a few times, I and a friend was heading to town closet to the base, then we found a 4x4 but there was a dead zombie next to the car which we didn't kill, the car had the most important parts except a tire. We took the spark plug out and the battery (For insurance), so we start going back to base to get a tire and come back. Once we got back to the car, the whole car was scrapped, me and my friend instead we camped that place waiting for him to return (it took around an hour). He spawned right next to the car. I find this such a huge annoyance. Base Relocating I'm going to keep this short since it's easy and doesn't much need explaining. I'm okay if your base gets compromised and you start moving using car and everything. SH gets it a lot easier for them and less anxiety and whatever (I enjoy being paranoid in this game) by just taking it too there hands then start moving over to the next server and no worries since the team can't get them at all, which is boring because knowing there's another team on the server that we might run into or better yet run into a base. It'll be annoying that you find a base but then they leave instantly once they have the chance. Modded Servers I know, this is not an issue since you can't SH, but here's my opinion: I really enjoying playing vanilla and my friend has a really bad internet connection and playing on a server close to him and still have some problems. We would switch to a modded server but we already have a base ready and we're really set. So we won't be switching any time and I don't think we can due to my friend. I really shouldn't rely on mods to stop SH, I want the devs to make a compromise to fix this. Combat Logging! This can happen but not all the times since your toon takes 15 seconds before leaving the server but if the play can juke him or he is really far, and he has a good chance on leaving! Now I don't find this a major problem since, but it's still a problem. enemy team hides and DC from a firefight. Should this be removed, not really since most the important problems I already stated I want to go first! This can be fixed later on. The end of the story is I find this rather annoying. I hate that SH gets an easy start, going around a team fight, scraping a car, base & team going to another server to makes the server quieter, etc. I can't say much since I already explain my anger issues with this. P.S. Change the price of DayZ already! Edited May 4, 2019 by JinxTheJoker Editing to prove my point! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
