Yeah, in the beginning ZA1 and ZA3 had 25-30 players on it at all times about, now with all the servers, people spread out too much.
I still stand with my point though. Remove the ability to store ANY sniper rifles in tents and vehicles, a small change like this would go a very very long way in the long run.
Also I see some people mentioned a new script that detects TWS and other illegal guns. If this works, it would be awesome.
We removed all the L85s from Lingor a few days back, because it was getting a bit out of hand. Anyone running with an L85 pretty much dominated the server at night.
@Maplassie Yes dude, I wish the isp's/admins could work together and sort something out. As it stands now things are starting to look sad and people are not really experiencing DayZ as it should be. I agree on the tents etc comment and if scripts can keep our servers clean from TWS's it would be great!
@Graal That is pretty cool, wd. Who are you on NAG btw? I still prefer playing on other Normal DayZ servers thou.
waiting for WarZ and DayZ standalone until i start again... tired of playing with and being picked off by hackers and dupers...
I mean at frag lan this last weekend i met a guy who talked to me about dayz and how I mustn't join a specific server because they will kill me. The reason given after i asked him why was like all the other dbag clowns playing DayZ:
"Because we can".
He told me of a story of a guy who apparently killed him, and then they hunted him down as a group (even though he plainly said it wasnt due to revenge because the player killed him when he called freindly the first time), cornered him in a field and then forced him to drop his kit or be killed. He then went on and said they told him they would not kill him if he sang a justin bieber song over voice chat and only after i started calling him and his bunch of tools a few choice names did he say if he sang he would have been given a GPS.
now correct me if im wrong, but the GPS is CRAZY hard to find... and now they are giving them out to random players if they sing or do some other wildly immature act? Im sorry but that is just plain wrong for 2 reasons:
1) being its a GPS... more than likely duped.
2) besides the fact that you as a player have stooped to a level that surpasses douchebaggery, how freaking immature? My 8 year old sister has more integrity as a human being and she is the definition of a hellspawn on most days.
I asked if he and his group of misfits dupe items. He said they store stuff in tents and when they take stuff out it all just comes back after a server restart, therefore its not his or his team mates fault, they merely capitalize on server error.
While yes its server error, they are clearly duping and have no problem duping GPSes, AS50s and L85s :/
Im sorry but hearing that just steamed the hell out of me... reminded me why i stopped playing.
@panthis Almost told you to build a bridge there lol :)
While I agree with some things I also think you should really relax a bit and just wait for that standalone (thou I'm sure it will have it's issues also).
I think making ppl sing and then giving them a map or something (it just happens that a GPS is not rare anymore) is quite funny and far better than sitting on a bigass city buildings just sniping all bambies.
Just about anything other than just shooting anything you see is cool by me. I also do not see how you can blame the player for just playing the game. Its really not his fault that the tents do not save, but rather the sad state of an Alpha Mod atm. People just do what they need to keep up with the rest.
I myself prefer to go find my gear and run into fights in the forests or ambush some ppl etc. Way more intense when that does happen.
One thing is for sure. Most people atm do not get to experience what DayZ is actually about and they will get a big reality check when the standalone comes.
I think most of the current issues can be solved by a nicely edited & configured Private Hive server. Something I'd love to look at getting up if there would be enough ppl to support it.
@limpy
My point is I disagree with the direction DayZ has gone
To be honest, listening to what everyone is saying, I really don't think I'd enjoy play DayZ if I started up again now. Back when I played, people didn't even use tents. If people wanted weapons, they went on the gun-runner route, Med tents at Balota -> Balota Airfield -> Stary Sobor -> NWAF. If you died, you went looking for new weapons.
Now everyone has giant tent cities and if someone dies it seems they just run back to their tents and get all their equipment back. It entirely misses the point of the game and, in my opinion, kind of ruins it too. Heck, back when I last played having a vehicle was something that only happened when you were incredibly lucky, and then it was a giant mission just keeping a hold of it.
The game is nothing like when I played. I can't presume to speak for anyone else, but it sounds anything but fun to me. Sounds more like one of the core features was somehow lost along the way, which is that death actually held penalties for the player and was a real issue.

@Graal yes it is kinda sad atm when you think back. The way the game has changed with all this is massive. You adapt and still try to find fun from it. My team have tried to not use tents etc atm but with the other ppl around it does not work so well. But even with that the thing that pisses me off the most atm is ppl camping cities with AS50 TWS's, server hopping and just shooting anything that moves.
I still think a proper private hive sever can really bring back the old fun.
"which is that death actually held penalties for the player and was a real issue" Yes! And the standalone should bring this back!

Also they should completely clamp down the storage limits of tents and vehicles in general. You should be able to store a maximum of let's say 2 rifles, a handgun and some supplies in there.
This will bring the game back to it's roots so to speak. I remember when we first started playing the game. When it was pitch black darkness, you would run for ages until you found a landmark, then make your way to places at a snails pace while leopardcrawling all over the show and using up about 50 tonnes of Roadflares, just to get a Winchester and a waterbottle and think JACKPOT. Whenever you saw players your heart would start pumping, and you would hide away etc.
This, this is what DayZ should be. Now you die and you don't give a fuck, just ran back to the tents and gear up again!
