1.7.3 - Lets Wipe the Hive

[taffer 4]

I'm all for it. I can't tell you how many M107s, AS50s, FNFALs, and L85 thermals I've been finding on people, vehicles, and tents in the last three weeks. A LOT, It's absolutely ridiculous! The CZ is actually rarer than the rarest sniper rifles :| . I remember this one dead jerk next to a tent. He had three coyotes with the exact same nice stuff in each of them.

And besides, having everybody start out fresh would be fun! :thumbsup: :beans: :emptycan:

Not quite as related, but while I'm at it; can we have less heli crash spawns? I found three heli crashes in one day. That day ended with something like 3 night vision FNFALs, 2 MK48 Mod 0s, something like 3 Bizons, 2 DMR, 2 M14, and plenty of ammo. Not sure if I'm forgetting anything, I just thought "wow this is ridiculous, how are we going to carry any food?"

edit. guy above,..............I know a guy who has lived a lot of days as well. It's because he hasn't logged in the game in over a month, so it's kind of hard to give a shit how long the game says you lived.

I've been playing every day, actively moving around the map. GTFO.

What about my 100 or so tents in my base..... :( It's a bad joke that rocket has left sucha bad exploit in play for so long.... Farming Weapons.... oh my...

Not to be rude omgwtfbbq but the only thing your ss shows is that you lived for 50 days, however your stats & kit can be easily found within an hour or so of gameplay so the only thing you'll be losing is bragging rights?

How about No? After achieving THIS:

Losing all of my progress to some update would be complete horseshit. If this happens, I'm done with DayZ. I will stop playing and never play again.

54 days and just 87 killed zombies? Are you just hiding in the woods, eat cows and drink from lakes?

[Thadeum 103]

Wiping the hive doesn't wipe the tents who are saved on the server and not on the hive. So, basically, the top-notch mil grade weapons will still be available in the tents, and all the players not having tents will just lose all their gear.

How do you deal with that bro?

How do you?

[joeoblong@yahoo.com 614]

Lets just wait until I die. I found a legitimate AS 50 at a crash site today! I've died on the last 2 M107 I found without ever firing a shot. I want to at least squeeze off just one round into a bandit's dome before I lose it. Revenge and all!

So basically Rocket killed his own mod by leaving this exploit unchecked :/

True and wrong.

Dupping with tents is the most expensive way to dup items. I can dup items within 3 seconds, without any tent.

So, basically, tent dupping is not the main issue here.

Not really, I don't kill people, because I'm not an asshole, and if I come across anybody I just let them go on their way =)

But yeah I'm just surviving, stopping by the NWAF or Cherno every now and again if I need something. (still looking for a GPS, so I am making more military loot stops than ever :/)

Sounds stupid and mostly useless, as hackers will just be...hackers.

Hmm, and mostly everyone supports it, that would explain alot of things.

according to the guy who closed your thread - hive wipe does wipe vehicles and tents too

I'd welcome a full wipe on every major update so people don't forget they are alpha testers (like that guy above whining about losing 'progress')

If anybody kills me, then they'll get SO MUCH STUFF because I carry all of my things on my person. I don't use tents.

Honestly I only go after bandits and douche bags, you're safe from me.

[BlackRaven47 0]

Agree, defiently should get the hive wiped and everyone start fresh

[renegade9z 3]

Do eeet. :thumbsup:

Anyone who isn't convinced that we need a reset looks at this:

Agree - a wipe will be good for all, apart from the scripters...

Congratulations of course, but you are aware of the first rule of DayZ right?

Perhaps "Days" survived is something that could be preserved, but I am of the distinct opinion that one persons personal accomplishments aren't more important than the total overall health of this mod.

If you came into an alpha with an "I'll quit if they take my stuff" attitude, you may have joined the game a little too early. This Hive wipe is needed, its not the first one...if we get it, and it probably won't be the last either, even into the standalone I expect we'll find a few points where the development process requires all previous data to be dropped to gather new data.

So again I'm not knocking your achievement there, I'm just saying I don't think it outweighs the importance of a healthy development environment for the mod.

[noreaster 41]

Before I vote...

Is there anythign indicating that duping will be stopped in the next patch? Can you show me a referance?

If yes, then I vote yes.

If no, then I vote no.

I mean, basically every alpha/beta test in the hystory of alpha/beta testing has resulted in at least one wipe and in the vast majority of cases multiple wipes.

So.....might as well uninstall I guess. Because it is going to get wiped eventually. :(

[polli 57]

I would love a wipe. Our server is full of duped items and everybody can gear up with ease. The game is not a challenge right now. So yes please wipe.

Maybe the "days survived" for a character could stay when it´s possible. But we will lost it anyways when the standalone go´s live. Don´t forget that we play an alpha.

[Mos1ey 6301]

I'm all for it.

Will take me a while to regear with the same weapons and tools but I'd rather see the mod as a whole in a better state than keep an L85 and rangefinder etc.

[Sticker704 121]

If the hive gets wiped, then one is delaying the inevitable. People will just dupe again. If duping is fixed, then I'm all for it, but for now, no.
