Forum Post didn´t look like a Rainbow in the older dayz xD

Edit new thought:

Even more color added? o.O

Old Dayz was Fun

Now Dayz bringing new fun with helicopter

New Dayz (standalone) will in my eyes be awesome (hope so)

I vote for the default text against the black ;) Anything else does my eyes in.

Ignoring the new bug's and so on, I'm pretty happy with the way it's going. The standalone looks like it's going to be awesome.

Less people griefed about anything. Just got called a hacker for sniping some guy called "Andrew" in the NW airfield... *sigh* i moved there in pre-motion before the new patch knowing everyone would flock like flies to shit...

I miss the banter and the laugh and when tactics actually meant something, like being more superior in flanking your enemy, decoys and what not, i just feel it's kinda losing it's military feel slightly, but thats not the developers fault, just the players!

Further more "Andrew" im not sorry, i mean who crawls at the slowest pace IN FRONT of the hangars... you asked for it really ;)

Sorry, the point is i like where things are going even with the latest patches, what is letting this mod down is the players, not the developers!

Only been playing maybe a month, So not much input, Anyway Its buggy... So what?

Its a Damn good Game... I can live with these bugs anytime...

I got Arma on the Steam Sale, Never played it... till I found DayZ ^_^

Regardless of what was, is, or will be, everything is a step forward. Every time a new feature is added that causes a bug it's an opportunity for that problem to be solved. People can counter by saying that Rocket doesn't appear to be moving in any direction or solving anything, but I say give it time, let the problems arise as new features are implemented and let the to-do list grow sooner rather than later. They know what they're doing.

On the whole I htink the game has developed quite well. However I used to like it when you had to play on a night because there were so few servers you had no choice!

[flexho 78]

What you missed?

- Less hackers

- Servers actualy working as intended with saving vehicles and tents.

- Less hackers

Tents and vehicles have always been iffy.

lol yes I do think the influx of players has brought too many hackers with it!

[suKi 43]

Awwwh man, I was kind of hoping for more stories and significant differences.

If i wanted to hear about hackers well fuck. Look at every post. jesus christ

I read that the players are having an impact on the game.

I'll just assume that the immature people started playing.

[boxman80 964]

I used to have to play on saturdays or sundays and looking intentionally for Chemlights as I would only be able to play through the week on an evening after work when it was dark in-game. Chemlights were decent finds back then, especially blue ones, and invaluable compared to flares!

I remember one time when i seen a flare in the distance just north of Cherno, I approached it slowly and noted it was a guy with a rifle hunting around. I didnt want to revel my location so i sat and watched a while, then I seen another guy behind him. I presumed it was the first guys mate but then as they both disappeared through a fence I heard shots fired.

I sneaked round to see what happened and seen the first guy dead withthe second guy looting him - it turned out he was also stalking this guy withthe flare and decided to take him out! I then shot the second guy as ruthlessly as he had killed the first guy. Seemed a reasonable thing to do, and I got the spoils from both of them.

This is why I miss night servers - everyone had to play on them and NVGs were rare so flares and chemlights were a must!

Back in the day when hackers were a verbal myth spoken about really carefully on this forum, and noone would believe you... The time cheaters got put up with names in public by the creator god himself. The good ol'dayz when there wasn't an abundance of servers and you had to sit patiently to even be able to enter a server, and when you did, it was full of great people. And never once was there a duped/scripted as50 ghillie suited faggot laying around in sniper hill, the people back then used CZ550 and M24's. The ones lucky enough to find a great weapon would never risk loosing it in those hills..

Miss those days.

also every new guy that joins are group now thinks the heli is standard and gets his/her pick of all gear...where as the first time i found a DMR i was soo happy, even an m4 tbh...I think the tents (and more so with the respawning tents) took the fear of death away

also i miss not knowing the map and such

I agree with the immature players but again take 1 military simulator, add a bunch of fifteen year olds and hey presto.... one really annoying game!! and as for hackers, well let it be known that was the last hack death i shall ever have!! on 1.7.2.5!!! FFFFFUUUUU

Did there used to be a time where you would take the crappier gun simply because of how hard it was to find the better guns correct ammo?

Where as now it seems everyone has rounds for this rounds for that

I honestly found all up maybe 4 nato rounds I dont know how people can keep finding them...?

With the guns, I have found legit like 4 AS50s split amongst 2 helicopter crash sites so... It could be the duping that has made it popular or maybe that their spawn rate has changed.

I never find M4s anymore.

I've found 10 ghillie suits in my time, just one of them was on the ground, and it wasn't a usual spawning place for it, and one was in someone's inventory. The rest we're from tents. Most of the high-end gear I ever have is from camp sites.

lol no joke, was in a clan once and ghillie suits were everywhere, everyone had one and they were so "easy" to get, with frequent server restarts and a billion tents.

Before this, I saw around 2 all up. Couldn't wear 'em fucking sexist girl skins.

There was a time before duping went bonkers that you'd frequently have to drop a decent gun just because the rounds were so rare you couldn't use it often. Also, I agree with some of the others, It used to be cool when people were forced to play at night because there weren't many servers, that was some scary shit.

I remember when heroes weren't douchey little hipsters with flannel shirts, neck scarves, bodywarmers, fingerless gloves and an ironic baseball cap.

I dropped a FAL I found at a downed chopper in favour of a Winnie simply because I had more round for it and they were more common. Also teh same with the 1911, which was less common than it is now. I often left them in favour of the Makorov. Day Z should be a struggle not a breeze!

[Fraggle (DayZ) 15720]

Agreed. I'm looking forward to the future!

[christopherwright_75@hotmail.co.uk 109]

Beans to fraggle duping has had a real shitey effect. I dropped a few shiney guns from Heli crashes for things like Enfields or CZ550's just due to ammo. Everyone having the highest end gear and mountains of ammo has altered the game entirely. All the empty servers too has made a epidemic of server hoppers.

Bear traps were a funny addition I found a tent packed with them not long after they came in to the game and spent a while surrounding this campsite and vehicles with them all....... I know it worked as when i went back the next day to look at the campsite the tent that had morphine in it had 3 less in there.
