Rocket is toying with the idea of spawning with no weapon. new zombie changes will make it viable and it would reduce the war of beans.

battleye was updated with the cheats for day-z, global bans handed out enmasse. the ban appeal forum has been filled with tears from busted cheaters as well as the laughter and trolling from the devs.

The ones trying to get appeals are the idiots. Quite a few have been unbanned by simply calling up BI. Also, Rocket and co. have confirmed (in my opinion) the kind of douche-bags they are with the way they've been handling the whole situation.

How does one be a douchebag while banning cheaters when your game is both free and in Alpha?

**Dunarad** · 2012-06-16

Foud a DMR, and now have have 30 zombies kills for 15 murders/bandit kills. I'm an asshole.

First of all, Rocket, this thread is here to either make you feel bad or to make you feel good about being fucking retarded. That's up to you. I'm not here to participate in the feel good circle jerk of "Oh it's just alpha, Rocket added the suck my dick simulator to make sure we don't end up liking it." thinking.

Let's just look at everything that's wrong here real quick, ok?

1. HURR DURR HURR DURR Let's make a new patch that requires a dumbfuck beta patch for the main game, which doesn't work with Steam so our installations can be more awkward and problematic down the line.

You moron, don't jump on a BETA patch! Wait for it to be actually released! Do you know what will happen when this patch actually goes live through the Steam servers? Because I can only begin to guess at the PLEASANT possibilities.

BUT HURR DURR IT HAS A CHOCOLATE SEMEN DISPENSER! Fuck you and your stupid ass, get your goddamned priorities right and stop putting people through chores like this. I guarantee you that whatever you think is necessary in that beta patch, is absolutely not as important as not confusing the dogshit out of hundreds of users.

And YES it works on Steam, I'm talking about creating 150% unnecessary hassle.

Also, act like a real dev: Get the games on Steam and make sure whatever updates you do in the future work on it as well without having to juggle shit around, OR explicitly state that you are designing for the standalone versions. Don't dick me around.

2. HAHA LET'S FIX PvP ON THE COAST.... by not giving anyone a gun.

Well fucking done, Billy, what a wonderful fucking idea. I can't wait to be player killed now with a DISADVANTAGE! Guns still fucking SPAWN in the game, and people will waltz right back to the shore to kill unarmed players.

You thought this out SO WELL! I can see the untold amounts of brain power you must have used. It's manifesting itself right in front of me, that's how intense it is! Holy shit, you're like Albert fucking Einstein over here!

It gets even better, too, cause new spawns will feel the need to visit coastal towns for guns, increasing the clusterfucks in Cherno, Balota and Elektro even more.

Honestly? I can't wait to run around the coast now, killing people, knowing new spawns could never even dream to injure me. Just out of spite. To you.

3. WAAAAAAAAAAH STOP THE PvP YOU FAGGOTS, HERE LOOK AT THE ZOMBIES! LOOK! LOOK THEY ATTACK MORE OFTEN NOW! LOOK AT THE ZOMBIES GUYS STOP PvP LOOK! LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOK! PLEASE LOOK AT MY ZOMBIES THIS IS A ZOMBIE MOD STOP PvP PLEEEAAASSSEEE!!!!!

Congrats on making Zombies completely fucking insufferable. The problem created by increased vision and attack damage is two fold:

A) It tries to establish Zombies as the main aspect of gameplay. If you knew a single fucking shit about your mod, you knew that Zombies alone couldn't hold up this game in your dreams. Nobody gives a fuck about zombies after 3 days of playing. They become the minefield in a world of scavenging for equipment and bandits. This update tries to cram zombies in your face to try and make you afraid of them. All it makes ME do is scoff, call Rocket a fucking dumbass, and never visit towns again. Sit your zombies the fuck down. You tried making a Zombie game, then it turned out that zombies are just a secondary element. Don't try to turn this around somehow, it isn't fucking going to work. It certainly isn't now.

B) All stealth is thrown out the window. CoD audience getting angry and leaving? Oh please. This shit caters to them. If zombies can see you from a nautical mile away, theres no reason to not just simply run through towns into the nearest building and/or kill ever zombie within the area. Carefully navigating the minefields of zombies, managing how to avoid aggro WHILE scavenging and dealing with or hidng from other players was the gist of this game. However, this entire gameplay as a whole is gone now. You simply can't avoid zombies. Not even by crawling 24/7.

If you feel like this thread is offensive, then just know, it is rightly so. Am I entitled? I don't give a shit. I don't like getting drawn into a fun ride, only for you stupid cunts to pull the rag out from under my feet and bashing my face in with a sledgehammer. I get enough of that from "Professional" developers on the market.

Think your fucking ideas through. Don't try out obviously shit ideas just to double check. Can you not make inferences to how things affect the game? Did you really need to "try" these stupid fucking ideas out? They all make the game worse! How hard was it to guess?

FUCK YOU FOR MAKING A FREE GAME ROCKET YOU FUCKING FAGGOT

**Internet Spaceships** · 2012-06-18

Mmmmmm, can anyone spare a couple tissues, that was incredible.

**Stronke** · 2012-06-18

I have to admit, I to, raged a bit when I heard I would be spawning with no weapon. Just give me a fucking melee weapon already

**Don Peyote** · 2012-06-18

Just punch down Zombies like it ain't no thang

**madp0k** · 2012-06-18

I'll see how much of an issue it is to spawn with no weapon when I go again tonight. My talent at this game is debatable tbh but I still can't get enough, split seconds decision making needs some work ie, in a barn looting, as I'm about to leave a player comes in through the door and I decide fuck it and open fire, I think I put him on his arse with my shotty, line up for 2 nd and third shots just as his mate wanders in and I open up on him too, it ended badly for me !!!

Zombies are more of a struggle for me now as yesterday they wouldn't stop spawning on me and they have better eye sight than I could dream of at my age but fuck it, it's a zombie apocalypse, adapt and overcome (or die and respawn as I like to call it!)

**Stronke** · 2012-06-18

erryday we respawn

**Dunarad** · 2012-06-18

Can't find any food/water, even in supermarkets since 1.7.1. I died of hunger and thirst

It also seems that there are now a LOT more people on the noob coast ATM, and the first one to get a gun gets to kill a lot.

**Konev** · 2012-06-18

Pending Hotfix: Build 1.7.1.2

Changelog:
* [NEW] Tone Mapping to enhance nightlighting conditions
* [FIXED] Generic Loot not spawning (such as food etc...)
* [FIXED] Animals stand still and HURR DURRR (they now walk around)

**xutech** · 2012-06-19

Going to be interesting seeing how effective melee weapons are against a zombie that can shoot claws.

OMG more LLJK goon hacking!!!!!!
As if every single stupid jerk somethinggayandawful member duping NVGs and other highend look wasn't enough, now they're laughing about hacking. Pretty sure we know who to blame for all of Rocket's problems.

Thread is here: (The jerk is called "Slamscooty" He is a raging dick head.)

Some LLJK lowlife probably a pedo scum Wrote:Am I a bad person for getting thousands of people on ArmA2 banned, and blowing up servers of 50 people just to see the rage that they spew in chat after they lose their 3 hours of work?

and then later in that thread....

Some LLJK lowlife probably a pedo scum Wrote:Well, I figured out how to spawn bombs on top of players in game using the scripting engine, while thousands of people had already been using the scripting engine to do inconsequential stuff like spawn weapons. I then proceeded to post the script all over 4chan, knowing they would make full use of it as my friend and I went from server to server and systematically blew each one of them up, mostly having targeted the reddit server. This went on for about 3 days before it became super rampant, and the reddit server got so upset by this that they decided to password their server, which is against the developer's rules and will lead to their server being blacklisted. (http://www.reddit.com/r/dayz/commen...ing_we_will_be/)
All of this happening lead to the developer, rocket, to become extremely upset. He shut down ALL of the servers for about 30 minutes, and then banned any player who ever ran a script in the game, which totaled in the thousands. This perma-banned all of the users across all of the ARMA 2 servers which have battleye on.

I made a few videos of it, they're nothing spectaular, you can read the chat though at the bottom left if you set it to 1080p.

SomethingFaggyAndAwful is the scourge of the internet gaming community. We should hunt them down and kill them all. At the very least, track down their identities and make them known. Names, addresses, phone numbers, high school report cards, favorite Subway sandwiches.... THE WORKS.

**Centra** · 2012-06-21

I was sitting on the hotel sniping nerds in Cherno with two people on the ground looting the bodies when one of them says "Hey, I hear foot steps." I started scanning the area he was in and the other ground dude got up on a roof to get into a better position to see what was happening. Suddenly we hear this panicked scream over Mumble and "HE HAS A FUCKING AXE!"

Mind you, this player is fully kitted out with a Mk. 48 machine gun.

He starts running with blood streaming out of his head and we see this survivor chasing him, axe swinging. Our guy starts yelling, "SHOOT HIM! SHOOT HIM! I'm bleeding out!"

I was laughing too hard to take a good shot but the other ground bro killed the axe wielding maniac with one shot from an Enfield. The axe took him from 12k blood to 5k in one swipe.

Fucking Cherno.

**Dunarad** · 2012-06-22

I killed a friend i was playing with yesterday with an axe, i was swigging it like mad in the air in front of me when he passed by. Insta-death

**Internet Spaceships** · 2012-06-29

I found my first helicopter crash last night on a server of nine people. After killing all of the zombies surrounding it I was killed by a CZ. What are the odds :\

That was good though - typical of redditors to do something so antisocial and depraved

**Phineas Freak** · 2012-07-24

with 99% of the people around me playing it, i do indeed regret the fact that i spend 800 euros on bike components instead on a new pc.
i got arma 2 on the notebook, but it's not really enjoyable to play any shooter in ant view mode.
hope i got time to get back to it in september, not sure if the mod "lives" that long without new input.

**Stronke** · 2012-07-24

DayZ is great, it will stay popular untill Fallout Online gets made and released wich is probebly never so it has a bright future.

Pretty good game, I read some of the starter out stories and watched some videos and thought pfft I'll probably just end up wandering around and seeing no one and get bored pretty quick. Turned out to not be bad at all on my first play, got a 1 zombie aggro pretty early and after running for a while down the coast and him still chasing me down I suddenly remembered from watching a couple vids zeds have trouble with terrain and I had a hill to my left, no more zombie.

I then continued up the coast for a while until I reached a town I saw an industrial looking place which I knew should have some good loot but being cowardly and unarmed decided to skirt round the outside town houses picking up some loot with minimal risk however the loot turned out to be mostly crappy and not worth the time/risk.

Having gone almost full circle, on I went to the industrial looking place managing to find a hatchet that needed re-loading da fuck

plus some other minor loots. Inside one of the building this is where I bumped into a fellow survivor and was frozen in fear and uncertainty of this unknown, on closer inspection they were unarmed and using a chick avatar and seemed newbi, my first thought being "I must protect this unarmed girl" before coming to my senses with the safe assumption that this survivor is a fat neckbeard.

We quickly established "friendly" especially so as I was the only one with a weapon and began looting the rest of the building unfortunately he claimed not to have a mic, that or my voice is very scary. We soon started getting zombie aggro however with them pouring in with a steady stream (something I've noticed when I group up with people zombie aggro seems to be drawn more easily? might be just more noise though) Having cleaned up and my new friend acquiring a hatchet and subsequently not sticking it in my back.

We want downstairs and moved to the exit where we agreed to check out the some of the out buildings. lo and behold a bunch zeds come walking in again I take too much damage and end up breaking a leg and with no morphine things went downhill from there with me telling my friend to save himself. Not a bad first play.

One thing I do wish is if there was one giant mass of zombies walking around randomly, after a while of playing the low density of the zombies makes them a somewhat manageable problem and increasingly it become other things that are more dangerous. One giant mass walking around maintains that "fear" of them and something of a "king of the hill" to go after rambo style and attack in an organized manner or just run the fuck away from.

Overall very good for a glitchy beta game and has that sandbox with consequences feel that makes eve so appealing, I've been looking for another game that has that, just didn't think I'd find it with a zombie apocalypse game.

it's quite addicting.. "come join our gang, we need logis" - "yeah give us your truck at dayz@xyz and we might consider joining..later..maybe"
finally being able to shoot anyone in the face without warning and loot their corpses draws 90% of nrds bittervets into the next best sandbox game.

**Vladic Ka** · 2012-08-01

Run from zombies through bushes/pines full speed. Find gun. Shoot other dudes. Take their stuff.

**WNxWolfy** · 2012-08-02

I had an axe and a .45 revolver and was roaming around with a friend of mine when some asshole using invisibility and explosives axed me in the leg and then broke the bone.

Fuck hackers.

**Stronke** · 2012-08-02

Don't be trolling this glorious gaming thread with your devily lies about cheaters and hackers!

**Robau** · 2012-08-03

start looting at buildings with steep hills nearby, if you get zombie aggro, run (walk) up hill, zombies start walking up slowly! if you have weapon you get time to pick them off, if you don't have weapon, just run down the hill past them.. they trip over and die when they chase you.. useful when you want to conserve ammo or not bring attention to yourself

**madp0k** · 2012-08-03

zig zag running up the hill works too to give you a bit more space, if you get to a hill where its so steep that you start to walk, zig zag that bitch, hey presto mucho runno fasto than zombieo
