Are you talking to me, or them? Because they're the ones trying to stop people from playing the game a certain way.

Nah, I definitely don't want to do that. And it's not really a "threat." It's just what I'm going to do. I started tonight, and it was super fun. The first guy was like "Hey this is a friendly..." I assume he was going to say "server" but I couldn't hear over the sound of my M4.

It's mind boggling. At least in the mod there was some stuff to do like rack up zombie kills or ride motorcycles. What are these people even doing? Literally just standing around chatting with each other like it's fucking Second Life or something.

Nah. Balota is great step in the right direction for the map to get away from the "spawn, run north, get loot" repetitive strategy in the mod. The map should be interesting, dynamic and loot of all kinds should be roughly evenly distributed. Once loot spawning is in, Balota is going to be a very interesting place to be. Yes, it has good gear but it's also probably currently and will remain the most dangerous place in the game. It's a risky early gamble. Pretty clear this was the idea in adding it, so I'm confident they're not going to take it out just because people seem to think "the point" of the game is to run north all the time.

The problems: 99% of the map was useless bullshit that nobody ever went to. Why have 144km2 and then use like 12km2?It's goofy and senseless. "North good South bad" is a weird and arbitrary rule that only "makes sense" because we got used to it after awhile.

I wouldn't say it's spiteful. I'm like Santa Claus, bringing the joy of the real DayZ to poor boys and girls who are missing out.

Not even one tiny chance in hell, sorry. "No KoS" is not a real rule. Server admins are not permitted to kick or ban to punish people for not playing how they want. They're the ones breaking the rules, not me.

If getting killed turns someone away from the game, then they're going to leave eventually no matter what. If it's fun for you, then it's obviously not a waste.

Because the game is in early Alpha and zombie spawning isn't working properly at the moment, obviously. Didn't need 5,000 words to ask that question. You could have just read the message that pops up when you enter the game. As for everything else, the only "point" to the game is that you don't get to tell me what the point is. Yes, it will be nice when the game gets more difficult but if you think that's going to stop people from shooting you in the face constantly, you're probably going to be sorely disappointed.

Great stuff, but one thing I'll say is if you're going to include things like seagulls and bird chirps, they need to be massively varied and very random. Nothing breaks the illusion of ambiance more than hearing the same pattern of bird calls thirty or forty times while you're exploring. The current game sounds suffer from this, with that stupid chain link fence tinkling noise that happens constantly for no reason whatsoever.

Uhh, that's definitely not true mate. rocket flat out said the current loot mechanics are placeholder and will be replaced soon.

So, people aren't complaining about "bandits" they just have a really specific definition of banditry that doesn't include me killing you before we've sat down for a heart-to-heart over a can of beans? This argument is so pervasive; I don't understand it one bit. Some arbitrary distinction made between "real banditry" and murder which is completely pointless. Standing around bullshitting with you or trying to "rob" you is a waste of my time, exposes me to other players, and gives you an opportunity to get away or murder me. Why would I bother, when I can just shoot you and get it over with? I have everything I need. I don't need to rob you. I just don't want you to be alive anymore.

Okay, thanks for the play by play. Come back tomorrow and let us know what you had for breakfast.

How does that in any way solve the problem? The point is to stop people from dropping out to save their lives, and this will definitely not accomplish that.

Needlessly complex. Why does it matter if the player is actually in combat or not? Just add a 45s log out timer that applies no matter what and gets interrupted by damage or action. It's not a difficult problem to fix.

Are you volunteering to get shot in the sternum with a .357 to see how "horrifyingly unrealistic" it is for death to immediately ensue?

They definitely took his penis. He has an enormous erect one in real life. Seems odd to put him in and take his cock off.

What a stupid thing to say. How do posts like this get beans? Getting a weapon is obviously pretty fucking important. He didn't say anything about that being the "only" reason he plays.

Right; except they already said they're not going to do that dumb shit. Okay? How is that "derp" worthy? Separate hives does not mean a "split community" if you can only ever play with 40 people at once. How does it matter one fucking bit? You will have plenty of people to play with on either hive, and there will be nothing stopping you from playing on both. What is your definition of "community" in this context? It makes no fucking sense.

"I'm not here to bitch about it, but definitely want to punish you for doing it. Which is actually far worse." Psychological problems are a good idea, but not as a "consequence" for what you deem bad behavior. Everyone should be subject to the affects, no matter their actions. Remember, zombies are just sick people. You're murdering random strangers every day.

I just want to use 3rd person and you're not my fucking mother?

You can only get 40 people on a server mate. The "community" (whatever you think that is) is split all the time.

"The community agrees with me, except the ones who don't who for some reason aren't considered part of 'the community' which kind of casts a little spotlight on how full of shit I am."

Okay? I don't even know what you're talking about. You want a message to pop up warning you when a bug is about to occur? Why would they do that instead of just fixing the bug?

You do. Every time you log in to the game.
