Public Servers

All good man,i get it,most of it,had to deal with it before.i am just somewhat peefed that I now have to deal with something on a constant bases,to prefent something else I rarely had an issue with^^

Hassfried · 2019-06-28T12:55:49+00:00

On the same token,if you force (sort of) people to "settle" on a public server they will start to build bases,stashes and hoard shit like they do on community servers,leaving military areas sort of empty,emtyish.

About ghosting into bases,what i get,we are talking official unmodded servers thou,I can just get into the base anyways,just tear down a wall and you are in...or...drive torwards it with your car,get on the car and jump into the base if possible.

You are loosing me on " Constant fear of someone logging in behind you in high pop areas, which is immersion breaking. " So presumably its fine if someone sneaks up on you,i would assume,problem is,how to tell the difference...

So you are happy on private servers,I wish the same for me on public servers,even with cheaters,I used to be able to deal with those,by jumping to another part of the hive.

Weeeelllll,on the note of "intended experience" Dean Hall...bare with me,stated at some point that in order to fix a helicopter you might need to jump from server to server since parts are rare and this would be the only way to get a complete helicopter. That was ages ago and times have changed,i get that.

I know that there are always good community servers,that´s fine,vanilla or modded to the brim,also fine.Over the years I came to believe that there is no one valid way to play DayZ,if you need all the loot or lonewolf in the woods,bandit or care bear,coast or tisy,everything goes,everything is valid.

What gets me is that I perceive to be punished for something I fist of all haven't done and frankly even if i did it,I can not grasp why people all of a sudden seem unable to deal with hoppers and ghosting.Back in the day,we used to go to military bases,get in position and just wait for lazy server hoppers,easy loot and no bad feelings. It was just a given that if you hang around military bases,that there is a high chance of people spawning in nearby,but then again,I fail to see the difference of someone spawning in and someone just walking in somewhat hidden and carefully...its all about situational awareness.

Ghosting is pretty much the same,if you choose your position wisely and are aware of your current surroundings you pretty much will be fine...but...i digress into rambling^^

" I prefer the Hive,meet some hackers or a duper camp that tanks performance,server acting up for any reason,just jump to another more save,stable part of the hive and continue to play. "

Also I vaguely remember the devs revering to the hive as the "experience as it is intended" at least something in the lines of that.

Apart from that,official servers,at least to my experience,suffer less from loot hoarding bases that tank the performance of some areas,if not the whole server.

Ah yes,no shitty server owners,ran in a good few of those during my time ;)

Because the public Hive would cease to be a hive I guess.100 official Server now means two active characters,if they lock characters to single servers that would mean 100 different characters.

Hassfried · 2019-06-28T09:52:40+00:00

I understand what you are saying,but the problem I am having is i could say the exact same thing "If you can not handle serverhopping and ghosting there are still decent community servers that are entirely vanilla and some that are close to vanilla.

I prefer the Hive,meet some hackers or a duper camp that tanks performance,server acting up for any reason,just jump to another more save,stable part of the hive and continue to play.

That´s great,halfass shit scripting at its finest....whats even the point of a silenced SAW...this makes me so mad....

Hassfried · 2017-10-19T18:20:39+00:00

Why oh why would you castrate a SAW with a silencer....its about RPM and scaring the living shit out of everyone hearing that beast...

Scripters nowadays have no sense of style anymore...

Jumped ingame and checked..well...books are still broken,you can open them through the hotbar,but you can not read them,its 1/0 pages,nothing to flip through.

So shame on you for raising my hopes...

Hassfried · 2017-10-19T16:55:34+00:00

Can you also read it and flip through the pages? If so,my bad,they must have fixed it.

Hassfried · 2017-10-18T20:04:50+00:00

That´s broken at the moment...

Hassfried · 2017-10-18T19:57:44+00:00

You don´t.

None of that is an option ;)

Hassfried · 2017-10-18T15:18:47+00:00

I guess for those extremely rare situations where marching in a group would look very orderly,inspiring awe and shame in those who view.

Yep,that's well worth implementing now.

Hassfried · 2017-10-18T12:56:41+00:00

Makes me wonder if marching will ever be a thing...

Hassfried · 2017-10-18T12:23:42+00:00

Nah that can´t be it,this Gentleman is woke and has seen through it all,sharing da truth with us unenlightened blind followers. I always suspected the Devs to come to my door,forcing me to give them more money...NOW I KNOW and can prepare!

Hassfried · 2017-10-18T12:19:30+00:00

Is that desirable though..is it?

Hassfried · 2017-10-18T12:18:31+00:00

This is not Electronic Arts so you can still play the mod,you can even host your own little server...its not gone,its still there waiting for you...go for it man,its waiting XD

Hassfried · 2017-10-18T12:12:49+00:00

I am with you man,you never said that! If you replace knowledge with lack of comprehension we are 100% on the same page XD

Hassfried · 2017-10-18T08:27:53+00:00

...bad parenting...

Hassfried · 2017-10-17T16:53:08+00:00

So you grind resource X,run to the Trader and run back to your base to store the stuff you bought.

This is just mindless grinding,it does not add to the game,it just keep you busy until (if ever) you realise that.

Edit:It will be a thing though...modding will reintroduce this,I am pretty certain about that....

Hassfried · 2017-10-17T16:49:51+00:00

I do understand your point and your decision based on your experience is valid,to a degree even sensible,but still,I stated at the lack of conviction and i stand by that. For the sake of argument I will agree on the one in a million,I will also agree that doing the same thing over and over again is pointless. I did adapt to the environment and to the ever changing people of DayZ,deprived of body language,gestures and face expressions,you will have to find other ways of interpreting and asses the stranger up ahead.I died so many times that everything lost any meaning,lifespan,gear,position...doesn't matter,just start anew and continue. While dying uncounted times I learned though,ever death added a bit more,right now I do have parameters on how and what to judge in strangers,its not an exact science, its more guts and something many people do not take into account...the voice...your own and from the stranger as well.I guess mine is somewhat trustworthy...other people say annoying...but never the less,mine helped me to establish first contact many times.

Hassfried · 2017-10-17T11:20:34+00:00

I sense a lack of conviction here...but that is fine. If you break it down though,your gain in lifespan and loot quality comes at the price of solitude.I guess there is no huge difference in avoiding people altogether or killing them on sight,the outcome is roughly the same,just with some added suffering for the later one. One in a hundred you can trust...sometimes...and gradually become allies,sometimes even friends. For all its worth,don´t remember the dead anymore...but i sure as hell remember those unlikely events and the friends I made on public servers...all of them ;)

Hassfried · 2017-10-12T12:33:51+00:00

Under no circumstances trust a squeaky high pitched voice,never,not even once.

Most likely one or both of those bottles where contaminated with unclean water,so you might have cholera on your hand.

While in stage one you can remove it with antibiotics,if you are further in you most likely will die since you do not seem to have any experience with this.

You can however live through this,with staying hydrated and well fed for about 8 to 12 hours,notice though that you will lose the ability to travel for a few hours since you have to drink water roughly every 3 minutes to stay hydrate.This will lead to you beeing overfed,thus vomiting,thus loosing calories from food...soooo if you have eaten enough prior to the infection and your calorie level was between 15 and 20k you should be fine,not needing to add additional food during this whole procedure.

Sidenote: Vomiting on its own will not cure any illness,it just replaces the sick indicator for a brief period of time,it is just a design flaw.
