I'm on the fence about Lingor over Chernarus. I've really come to enjoy the vast wilderness of Chernarus and missed it while exploring Lingor there seems to be a lot of large towns and cities, which may prove to be the better in the long run if people spread out on the map instead of congesting into two cities. Most of the buildings that I have come across have been enterable which is great, I don't bypass small villages and towns like I do in Chernarus where only one out of a dozen buildings might be lootable and the large amount of water may make boats a viable option for transportation once they are fixed. There seems to be more bugs on LIngor, though this may not be the map but server related. I would still like to see a 500km or even a 1000km map complete with rivers and and interstate highways loaded with abandoned but unusable vehicles, maybe a snow-capped mountain or two.

What's with the self-righteous indignation? Is the problem here the fact that I dare to express a dissenting opinion? Do I MUST post bug reports to qualify in order to post an opinion? My opinion is a productive one, because I firmly believe that adding autonomous weapons (eg. Bear Traps) will affect this game in a negative way. It's not a BUG, but I believe that it's a bad idea and the game can be better off without things of this nature. It's not a complaint, it's a warning. Original post: http://dayzmod.com/forum/showthread.php?tid=18575&pid=204165#pid204165 1. "Lets focus our efforts where it counts". What do you mean by this? I'm curious to what your "efforts" are. 2. You called the bear traps "counter-productive crap" even though you, or anyone else for that matter, haven't had the opportunity to try them yet. Unless... no, impossible... You're not a wizard are you? And please, step away from the thesaurus.

The amount of whining because people are forced to use some form of illumination in the middle of the night is fucking stupid. "Whaaa! I can't see, it's dark and I'm scurred!" "Game is broken, my gamma tweaks don't make it bright as day anymore." Fuck off, all of you.

I've had two in 1.7 and have never experienced any of the spawning bugs.

All of this talk about a 12-24hr respawn time is ridiculous. It's one of the worst ideas I've ever read. After a long day of work you sit down to play some DayZ and BAM! Some assclown snipes you 100m from the spawn. Now you've got to wait until the next day to play a game, wtf? Even worse if you're playing with a few friends, coordinating times in rl is hard enough for adults with work and family, now put everyone on a retarded 12hr cooldown and you might as well not even bother.

Heatpacks: I think the best place for heatpacks to spawn would be stores and deerstands. Hospitals already have enough "emergency" items in them. Please, what ever you do don't make them spawn in the barracks or airfields. These places already ofter exceptional loot and are nearly impossible for solo players to access (I play with 2-3 others). Tents: The tents are weird, I followed the advice to spam the "pitch tent" button (lol), and was able to successfully pitch a tent. It worked pretty well, I actually was able to place it three times in close proximity before I finally found a semi-suitable spot before the server restart. The problem, was after the server restarted, everyplace that I pitched a tent earlier now had a tent, I had successfully created a camp ground. After seeing this group of tents (highly visible now), I attempted to remove them but was unable too and all of the items that we put in the final one had vanished even though we popped on immediately after the restart. Was this just a freak bug or are others experiencing the same? DayZ Mod: Awesome, the mod is awesome. I can't bring myself to play anything else at the moment. Please don't give into any of the "xyz is too hard threads". Make it even more challanging and expand on the survival aspect, I want to cry irl when I die and shit myself when I get zombie aggro.

With due respect' date=' "waiting around doing nothing" is not a compelling game mechanic. Can you link to these threads? 'cause I see a lot of very compelling suggestions for very interesting modifications to the game. There's a few duds, but mostly reasonable, quality suggestions from a community that thus far is way more civil and engaged than any I've witnessed in an online game forum. Almost all of the ideas are better than "make people go stand in a house for a really long time." I could link those threads but instead I'll let you stretch your internet legs and wonder on over to the search feature. Waiting around for 10-15 minutes (never said a really long time), while a storm passes may not be the most compelling game mechanic for the wow kiddies but I'm sure the zombies trying to get in will keep the majority of players busy for a few minutes while they sit and warm up. Oh wait... are you one of those that want more rainbows? Should fires be taken out because you have to stand in front of them for a few minutes? How about low crawling, should that be removed too because it's just not as exciting as running? Nice attempt, asshat.

Haven't read all six pages but OP is absolutely right. There are so many tears on the forums from players who want to change the game from an all out survival game to a game that holds your hand in the darkness and comforts you when you get murdered. Most are from people who should probably just play a different game they complain about ridiculous stuff, Player X complains about the open pvp and the "morality" of murdering other survivors, player Y complains about the temperature system. "It's pointless and a hinderance", player Z complains about everything that makes DayZ what it is and wants designated pvp zones, saved loot when you die, and a fucking cake to eat when you're hungry.. wtf? I'd like to encourage Rocket to make DayZ even harder, more zombies, extreme weather, maybe some blizzards and shit where you have to find a house to wait out the storm or die. I would like to see this on a map 10x the size where you spawn in a random location and your mode of transportation to where you think your friend on ts might be is a beat-up 1965 Dodge van with an erratic idle and slipping clutch. Morphine doesn't heal fractured bones and a blood transfusion isn't as simple as making a PB&j sandwich. I would like to see a world where a can of beans is worth it's weight in gold and zombies can smell tears from a mile away. I want to hear the cries of pain when you shoot someone over a twinkie that's been baking in the hot sun because you're starving to death and sharing isn't an option. A world filled with zombies of all ages; gore covered child zombies that screech as they run at you causing you to piss yourself, bony elderly zombies that scratch and crawl their way across the ground, ribs and spines protruding through blotchy pale flesh. Fuck yeah, that's what I want, I want to die in the first fifteen minutes from a zombie horde that makes my ass pucker or from a survivor in tattered cloths with a thousand-yard stare. Then I want to do it all over again. I want to fight a group of morale deprived survivors over gasoline for my shitty van, loot the corpses and continue on my way just trying to survive a minimum of 2 days before I'm eaten alive. Instead, I read about players wanting more fuzzy bunnies and rainbows, sparkling gear and health potions.

I've tried every spot that was flat, wide open, and free of ferns I could find with the exception of roads and in the middle of towns and still could not place mine. I'm so paranoid that I'm going to die with this in my backpack that I've been lurking in the forests half-starved and thirsty like some kind of crazed wildman freaking out at every little noise. Has anyone been able to place a tent since the patch?

Wtf, why? Play wow if you want battlegrounds. Its a zombie survival game, not get "gear" and capture a fucking flag game.
