Very Ape

That's not a free pass. DayZ prides itself in working to become an authentic survival experience.

I was at the North-west Airfield, when shouting from the fire station caught my attention. I ran inside and found a guy in handcuffs on his knees. His clothes were bloodied and tattered, and some of his gear was scattered around him. He was only a boy, couldn't have been older than sixteen. I asked him what happened. He was looting the fire station tower when he spotted an armed man running outside. He fired once, but quickly ceased his misguided assault. Two other men ran out behind the first, all of which were wearing blue UN helmets. They surrounded the boy, and he ultimately surrendered to them. The boy explained that he'd been startled and regretted firing, but the UN soldiers would have none of it. They handcuffed him and beat him unconscious a few times. And then they just left him there. I'm going to hunt down and kill any UN clansman I find. That's a promise. Bandits are one thing, but there's something that irks me about this. The punishment perpetrated by these men, who are supposed to be friendly, was grossly unfair. It was a death sentence. disclaimer: This is all in good fun.

Well, then. Sounds like we ought to be forming a posse. Anyone in?

That last guy really took his time shooting you.

Everyone knows the weapons aren't what they will be, and everyone knows that gun is the most unreliable one you can find. I didn't expect anything else but your demise, honestly. You missing the first shot didn't help.

Great video as always, well done at the red house! I like how you handle the people you run into.

No, sexism in video-games is an issue. In regards to the games themselves and how many gamers treat other, female gamers. In DayZ, I've yet to team up with a female survivor without her being subject to threats of sexual violence. Yes. That bad. I'm not talking about the ''harmless'' rape jokes that are thrown around whenever someone gets handcuffed. I'm talking about people becoming quite nastier than they'd intended when they hear a feminine voice via VOIP. I can imagine it really sucking when you know you're being harassed because of your gender. There's a difference between bandits acting for dramatic effect and the kind of stuff some girls put up with in this game. Just one person being a nasty son of a bitch to another. It's not all in good fun, for them. And Jesus, did anyone read her post? She's not upset over being killed, she's upset by the hostile reactions garnered solely by people finding out she is a woman. The attitude that plagues the gaming world, wherein women are just using their femininity to obtain gifts or they're men in disguise, not to be trusted. It does happen and it is disgusting. ''Go make me a sandwich, bitch.'' Just play-acting, eh?

When that guy just kept on crawling towards you two I lost it. :P

Yesterday I similarly met a guy from Ukraine. It's amazing how some people will keep me on my guard, while someone who doesn't even speak my language can have me trusting him completely within a half hour. That we can work together and develop such trust in such a scenario as DayZ is very heartwarming. Great video!

You light a fire in there or something?

What he did was fine. People know what it looks like, to be sitting up there with a sniper rifle. There were two of them.

These are quite good! Keep it up! :P Glad you're remaining positive despite the bugs!

I was going to reply to OP, but quickly realized there's so much misinformation to be undone that I couldn't possibly satisfy the little voice in my head telling me to reply.

I believe if you have ammo or magazines in a readily accessible place (ie, in the front pocket of an assault vest), you should be able to press R. Players who carefully plan out how their gear is organized should be rewarded. Players with ammo in their backpacks should have to open their backpacks to retrieve it.

Well that's embarrassing, looks like I'm the only one who has done this, then. I just had no ammo in the gun!

I can relate to that ending. The same thing happened to me yesterday. It's such a silly mistake to make, isn't it? It's easy to forget the little things when everything is falling into place for you like that. :P

A feature that's delayed isn't shoved, a feature that isn't ready but released anyways is.

If you read the many warnings you'd understand you are more like a supporter. You payed to play the Alpha, in hopes of it going somewhere. They aren't letting down anyone; they're following through with what they promised, in a reasonable amount of time. What they are doing is making people impatient. There's a difference.

Negative feedback, as in, hey, this feature is broken? Or negative feedback, as in, complaining that it's taking too long? The former can be considered constructive feedback. The latter is whining.

So I take it you haven't played either the standalone or the mod! Brilliant games such as Fallout 3, Morrowind and Half Life 2 spent each over five years in development. How long has DayZ been in development? Did those games somehow... I don't know... fail? I recall them being quite good, and quite popular. DayZ is a game that is quite big in scope. Remember Arma 2 being an MMO? I sure don't. Development time means absolutely nothing to us, the people who want to play it. We're not going to be any less interested in a brilliant final product just because we had to eagerly, impatiently wait to play it. Actually, it just means we're going to want to play it more-- claiming otherwise is akin to the tactics a toddler would use to get what he wants quicker. But putting all of this aside, there's one big reason to dislike people putting pressure on the devs: They're artists. Video-games are just as valid a form of art as literature, cinema, paintings. You payed because you support their vision of the game. Their development of their game. They're not forced to burn themselves out just because we each payed a small sum. They can work at the speed they choose. You didn't invest millions, we collectively did.

Yeah, screw them, telling us what's going to be in their game before it's even implemented1!!11 liars!!111

Brace!!!!

Great vid! I enjoy seeing good hardcore firefights.

Strongly opposed. I understand your suggestion allows for men to be raped as well. As it is now, a lot of people find themselves sexually harassed in-game because they're girls. The amount of casual references to rape whenever male gamers encounter female gamers is sickening, and the amount of people actually going ahead and trying to simulate it is also sickening. I don't want a game mechanic that legitimizes this kind of behaviour. Female gamers should be able to play without all their player interactions being centered around ''Hey, you're a girl *yuk yuk yuk* insert rape joke'' . Seriously, it's really fucking demeaning.

This is a really good suggestion.
