    Being caught in a natural disaster in 2004 i can say that the vast majority of people were amazing towards each other in the first instance. Which leads me to believe that human nature isn't as bad as people think, however im sure that the longer the problem went on i.e. a "viral pandemic" then people would become more of a threat to other people if local governments weren't put in place.

     

    I dont think it would be as bad as hollywood makes out, but i think borders would become "local" and it would eventualy become very tribal.

    When I shoot in DayZ, I almost always use my crosshair if I can. Why? Because the iron sights block my vision. I was having a conversation with a "friend" (actually I hate him and he sucks) about that being unrealistic. In real life, my other eye would let me see what's behind the sights.

     

    Then I realized that the Oculus Rift would allow you to do just that... for a price. Why is this blatant pay2win allowed?

    This is the new Dayz crowd......I want to cry :(

    .22 is the only rifle ive ever used (marlin 25) having shot hundreds of rounds with it. I can safely state that even with my cheapy little scope if someone was aiming at me from a 100metres  or so i'd be shitting my pants. You can take that to the bank!.

     

    Please give the .22 some love and respect it deserves  :)

    Before i start:

    Plz dont answer the following questions with :"Its just an alpha!"

    Its just an alpha for almost 3 years now.

    You are working very hard on becoming the next duke nukem forever.

    The rant is starting in   3,2,1 ....  hf.

    The Questions:

    Static world:

    -Why is the world in the game so static.I cant even destroy a wooden fence or door, with an axe.Even half life 2 , nine years ago , had destructible wooden objects.

     You must not even look at games like crysis,battlefield,the division or infamous-second sun, which have state of the art physics.Almost every game since the last 10 years has a physic  engine to some degree, you have none, not in the slightest!!Beside of text-fade ins and opening animations for doors, there is absolute no hint of interacting with the environment.

    What sense makes a large map, when players on the map cant even interact with objects on the map in a physical way, because the server cant handle the traffic, or runs out of memory.

    Your netcode is terrible optimized since arma 2. I cant even play arma 3 with an geforce gtx 780 on high settings(high not ultra!) on most server, without heavy framedrops almost everywhere on the map.

    Nearly every action in this game from opening a waterbottle/can to climbing over a fence , drinking water, eating , fighting with an axe or your fists feels ether:

    -clunky

    -is clipping

    -incorrect animated(opening waterbottle and drinking out of it without taking of the lid,...)

    -is only represented by text fade ins.

    (Is it to much to ask to put animations for pumping a well, in the game, instead of fading in text.This game is not a text adventure like "myst")

    -has no physical impact-animation on the enemy/object, if hitting it.

    (If you hit a man with an axe in the face, then his head should split. If you hit him with a dull objekt like a fire-extinguisher he should bounce to the ground asap )

    or most of them at the same time.

    Have you ever heard of "the last of us", "mirrors edge" or "zeno clash" (plz google them if you need to see how good combat/-animations should be made):

    the last of us combat:

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fgaUBI3o7Hw

    zeno clash combat:

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JA0uTRHyGh8

    Zeno clash is an indie game , if you try to argue that last of us has higher production value...

    look not even these guys having fun and they get paid for having fun at games. Look at 1:22:00 and at  1:30:40  in there stream:

    "http://de.twitch.tv/destiny/b/490335809"

     

    Graphics:

    -Why are the graphics so mediocre. Why don't you at least use the graphic-engine of arma 3 instead of arma 2.5.

     There are so many good engines out there, look at games like :

     -the division

     -watchdogs

     -crysis 3

     -Infamous

     -dying light

    - the witcher 3

    - destiny

    You made so much money with games like arma 2 , arma 3 and dayz so far. So why not invests some of that money into a good,stable  engine for dayz to give the fans something

    back for their money.

    Have you ever heard of proper shader use, dynamical lighting or just even bump mapping when you want to simulate the shape of a brick wall, instead of putting an absolutely flat looking  texture on the wall of a brick-building.

    Are you planing on developing this game for direct 9 + graphic cards  ?

    Here are some videos for you so that you can look up at all the dx 11 features:

    Nontranceparent developmentprocess:

    -Why is your developmentprocess so nontransparent. Can you at least say how many developers are working at the moment on dayz and have worked on the game in the past?

     You are working since almost three years on dayz now and all you have to show us is the map which alleady existed in arma 2 sligthly altered, with accessible indoor areas now, changeable clothes and an inventory and item managment system.

     I have never seen that some developer is so proud of his inventorysystem. You act like an inventory is something groundbreaking which has never done before in video game history.Nearly every itembased game has an inventorysystem in some form.

     

    So plz stop this copy and paste mentality and give us something worth our money . Why would anyone buy arma 2 again for 60 dollars just because you renamed it as dayz.I don't care how you call it, at this point its still arma 2 mp with more indoor areas which look even worst than the outdoor environments from a graphical standpoint.

    If you sell it on steam for 30$ as alpha version and if you planning to sell it in the price-area of arma 3 after release, then we should get at least the same quality as in other triple A titles which coast the same amount of money , which means same graphics ,same physics.

    And some zombies which are not stucked in the furniture and can actually kill you, where also nice to have.

    If arma2 and 3 where priced only with 20 dollars at there release date, i would not care or rage , but you where priceing them as triple A (60$) and delivering every time a very unfinishedexpirience, which was even broken to some degree and had to rely heavily on mod suport , made much money out of it and thank it to your costumors in this way by delivering this state of the game after three years of alpha.

    Where did all the money went into? If you want people to pay for premium quality than you need to give them premium quality and there for you need to invest in infrastructure

    like a healty amount of developers a good stable and bugfree engine,good netcode. I cant see any of that in your products.

    I expect a lot of hate from the mindless fanboys :

    So dont dissapoint me.

     

    Wow!! for someone to rant like this and NOT  read the "alpha" disclaimer makes me lol....HARD!!.

    Kill-on-sight is often discussed here on the forums, whether or not something should be done about it, etc. However, the vast majority of the threads started regarding this topic is by people who are angry about being murdered, think it is unfair and so forth.

     

    There isn't a vocal enough response to this controversy from the people who choose to play as murderers. We are part of the game itself; an unrelenting force that must be dealt with to survive the same as zombies, illness and the environment itself. Without us, DayZ would not be the success that it is. A large number of people who buy and play the game do so because they are entitled to this strategy, if not encouraged. The developers know this and they will never change the system. If you hate murderers, go play another game.

     

    I'm not just a bandit. While I do rely on banditry as almost my sole source of items and survival, I choose to murder as many denizens of Chernarus as possible because of the thrill it gives me, especially when I kill well-armed veterans armed only with a hatchet. This goes beyond mere kill-on-sight; I actively hunt and kill various targets depending on the thrill and risk involved. The more likely I am to be killed attempting to murder someone, the more likely I am to attempt to do it. The adrenaline rush you get when picking off a well-armed and coordinated group of people one by one with a hatchet is incredibly intense. This is what makes DayZ the best stealth game ever created.

     

    I still kill freshly spawned players from time to time, but it is not very exciting or rewarding. Usually this happens when I am passing through a town for whatever reason and happen to see them, but I do not actively camp spawn points. I know some players do, and I do not think what they are doing is wrong, but I just don't enjoy it much at all.

     

    Hope to see you in game.

    So you're doing the same thing as 90 percent of the other kids playing Dayz instead of cod over xmas then.

    I found the one north of Berezino, amazing huuuge ship split in half. Had some great loot and was having a great time exploring it until i took a backward  step too far for my panoramic screenshot and fell off the top deck and died.... :blush:

    All of your points have merit, although i would keep the helicopters in and allow people to have rat hole bases. I seem to recall Rocket saying something about underground type bunker "instances" for players to store gear. As such i think they could be kept away from heli scouts.

    Of course it looks that way now. You edited your original post after everyone responded. But lucky for us we have time stamps to show you did. You were pretty upset about it dude. Don't try to cover it up no

    No..you just didnt read it through and as such you werent able to comprehend it, and yes i did edit it...For those that may need "help"
