Yes, please consider adding more sounds to the game devs. This is a game that greatly needs sounds from people walking on glass or opening doors etc.

The real question with this server hopping is....How the hell do they expect to implement the base building and all that they talked up if you can server hop into someones base? Whats the point of barbed wirre etc if I can just log out, move forward an inch and log back to other server, in base. Annoying.

ditto

no

Does anyone know if there is any publications or official words from rocket regarding this avenue?

Am I the only one that thinks the new animations are kind of lazy and weak? The standing animation is the absolute same from the mod, the walking slow is ok I guess. The running? Its like I am being chased by a Gorilla, not a zombie. The jumping attack? Thats ridiculous. I've played ARMA game long enough to know there are some SERIOUS limitations, especially in the anim department, but tell me how the ARMA 3 Mod Breaking Point has the best zombie animations for Dayz type variant to date? They look like rabid infected people. Jerking about in convulsive ways. They walk and and run like the infected from 28 days later. I really hope the animations aren't final.

Does no one read?!!?!!?!!! All of your reasons are bullshit! There is NO REASON for us to care about YOUR shitty internet, pink spikes, abusive admin issues, freak thunderstorms, barking dogs, family issues and any other outlandish and ridiculous excuses you people who are nothing but exploiters use for the sympathy vote. HIDE! Go PRONE! USE BUSHES! FIND SHADE! USE SOME FRIGGIN STEALTH SKILLS! GO READ THE US ARMY SURVIVAL/EVASION MANUAL! SO the hell what if you have to wait 20 seconds and you are soo unlucky that in the HUGE map that is chern you get killed. Start the hell over. Your scenarios are soo outlandish and uncommon. From now on every time I see a stupid ass post I will post my argument from a few pages back that has a legitimate counter for all your bitching. I wont even waste my time typing again.

There.....is.....no.....hope for these people......

Of course you do, because you dont want to have to walk to the nearest city like everyone else. Give it a rest all of you. You are so obvious with you pathetic examples and reasons for these game breaking mechanics to remain. Respawn till you find a "good spawn"? If that isnt explotation than I dont know what is. This game is not catered to you. It is a time consuming, frustrating, sometimes annoying experience. This is what I want, but thats not what makes it right. What makes it right is that THIS IS WHAT ROCKET WANTS. Its HIS game. NOT YOURS. Im just glad what he wants is also what I want. If it wasent, Id find another game instead of trying to derail a project thats goals (or lack thereof) where layed out from the get go. You guys need to think logically about entitlment. IN addition, a story for you all about the negatives of DC. And before you give me all your BS reasons why the "innocent people" will be effected, go back to page 37-40 and read my logical reasons why you ARE a DCer, http://dayzmod.com/forum/index.php?/topic/42806-pending-update-build-1724/page__st__720#entry413998 and please never post again. WHY DC/SERVER HOPPING IS THE CAUSE OF EXESSIVE KoS ____________________________________________________________ -You're sitting their in a house in Novy Sabor contimplating your next location. You move out and turn a corner and your heart stops. Here comes another survivor. Hes equipped with nicer gear than you have. A machine gun, you only a pistol but a large cayote. He only has a chech. He hasent seen you but you think its only a matter of time. You hold out on taking a shot. Zombies ARE EVERYWHERE. You've never seen so many spawn in one place. Its 1.7.2 and you know the zombies vision and hearing are much more realistic than before. You let your guard down for just a second and you are being shot at. The survivor walking down the street was not a survivor, he was a bandit. You die in a pool of your own blood and regrets at not taking HIM OUT first. Hes made a KoS out of you now. But what about the bandit?? Surely he would have considered the seriousness of opening fire in that shitstorm of zombies. No. Didnt even cross his mind because he knew all he had to do was kill you. DC. And spawn back in right where your dead body lies. He is chilling. Zombies spawn back not aggroed a few seconds later. MO GEAR, NO PROBLEMS. I rest my case......

And mite I add, finding a good server for yourself shouldn't really require you to log in and log out. This only adds to my suspicion everyone bitching about this is an avid DCer. First you have the latency idicator which is usually fairly accurate. I have gone into servers that show green 70 and or less. Halfway through play through I get yellow, red, and broken red chains with no drop in FPS or DC. It comes and goes. Its normal. As for day night, thats not such a game breaking problem that we should consider letting people DC and server hop just because you got unlucky and found yourself in the dark. PLAY the game! Sometimes its dark. You start with a flashlight now. Its effective, albeit dangerous to use. But again that is the game. Anyway, this could be avoided by server owners either being true to the local time zone they are located in or by clearly marking on their server. And for the gamer its simple. FIND A SERVER THAT HAS AN ACTIVE ADMIN! Find one that is always updating their timezone, that is stable. There is no FREAKING WAY i am the only person that has 4 good servers available at any given time. There is just no freaking way. I live in the states. In most cases we have some of the shittiest internet in the world. Noone in Asia better complain, thats for sure, with their fiber to home and fiber NICs. So no, I don't think this, like all the other outlandish reasons all you avid DCers come up with is a valid reason. Like I said if you internet is such shit that you genuinely cannot find a good server, you need to sell your game, buy more bandwidth, or move if playing dayz is that important to you. Please SOMEONE argue this to me. Someone present me with a coherent and intelligent counter responce to this and I will drop it and advocate against anti DC mechanics.

We mite yet find common ground. I like the within 3 minutes thing for all those bitching about they cant find a good server, which personally I find beyond popostrous. I have found several servers that are good for me and that are always up. I have the choice between the 4 good servers. Usually stick to one for continuity and tent purposes. But either way thats fair. It however still leaves plenty of time for loot server hopping. Jump around from one super market to the next. 3 minutes is plenty of time to grab the good stuff. You only need 1 minute to find a day/night server. I still think however that once we have enough servers/server capacity/dedicated servers you should get one life on one server. PERIOD. DOT. Solves everything.

You....just...contradicted yourself. If things are more important than dayz than go take care of them and stop worrying about dayz! I agree that his daughter should be more important to him than whether he has to DC or not to keep his character from being killed or getting a bad mark. Thats what I have been saying all along. I have also been saying that while his daughter should be more important to him than dayz, it is not important to ME or the other thousands of gamers that would be affected in a negative manner by rocket taking sympathy on the minority uncommon issues that have NOTHING to do with the overall enjoyment of his game play experience. There are plenty of ways for him to do what he needs to do and not DC.

He said he is developing algorithms. If your power goes out and his algorithms just happen to be good enough to tell that 8 other players in the area sorrounding your neighborhood, done through IP addresses, also lost DC than you wont get a bad mark. Also if this happens your power will not be restored for some time in some cases. If its just a hiccup and comes back online quickly, its a freak occurence that probably wont happen again for a while, and so therefore, will not get a bad mark. If you are playing dayz in the middle of a lightning storm than well, you should change your keyboard to an all metal design and see if that helps. Game crashes, happens but again, not so often that it would show as negative marks with a well developed algorithm. If it is happening all the time, you should prob be focussing on fixing the obvious problem you have with your game/computer/OS than playing dayz. Intermentent signal is also another infrequent, although more frequent than previous, occurance scenario that DCer and server hoppers love to bring up. It happens sometimes sure, but again, if it is happening so often in a short time frame that you get a bad rep on the hive, you need to be on the phone with your ISP NOT playing dayz! And nuclear attack from Russia? I wont even go there cuz I know you were joking. See? I have a good explanation and solution for all of them folks. Keep em coming. See if you can stump me. This is nearing rediculous levels. The majority of people that are up in arms about this ARE your DCers, server hoppers, KoSers.

I can speak several dozen sentences in german actually. Rosetta stone is awseome as is deployment and temporary duty at Ramstien. But I digress, I posted an end all style post about the anti DC mechanic argument. YOu dont like it becuase you feel I was rude, or dont agree. I understand that for a European it may be difficult to understand or agree with non socialist Utopian ideals. And before you all flag me for being ignorant i understand there are conservatives in Europe, but leftist everyone should cater to my disadvantage types are the majority. At least in many germanic/nordic countries anyway. Well Im sorry for our cultural difference but all my points where valid. Perhaps having it in a bullet format will help? - Have to tend to work? Family? Dog? Important matters? = Its more important than Dayz! Go take care of it. - Dont want to die or DC while you tend to the more inportant issue? = Hide! In a forest, your golden. Chances are slim anyone will come up on you. In a field? Find a hedgrow. Chances are still slim? In a city? Hide in a bush, alley, building, outskirt building. Chances are better someone will come up on you but thats a risk you'll need to take. - Important matter is going to take a while? = Log the hell out. Its more inportant. Except that now was not your time to play. By the time said issue is resolved the limit or minimum time for bad rep has expired. - Have crappy internet? = Buy more bandwidth you cheapskape. - Live in a rural area? =Move or sell your copy of Dayz if you can. You shouldent have bought something you should have known youd have a hard time playing. Its not that posters or his daughters fault that she has medical issues. But guess what? Its not mine either or the other 100s of thousands of dayz players. Couple that with all of the perfectly reasonable solutions I posted above and bringing it up in the first place smells of desired sympathy votes from the community for a game mechanic.

English isn't your first language huh? I couldent even decipher what you said. I wasn't talking about pointless responses in forums. I was talking about how anti DC mechanic posters have no real argument.

No they do not. Im sorry if you daughter really does have medical issues, but that has NOTHING to do with me, or the game or the devs. This is not a building or employer that needs to cater to the disabled by federal law. Its a video game. A handicapped parking space, a wheelchair ramp isnt a real inconvienience to anyone. But to say that just because your daughter has medical issues and you have to DC to "take care of it" is bullshit. And than to say that anyone who has to DC for ANY friggin reason is a valid point to not implement this system is bull. I call bull on all this I hate DC because of this or that. Go prone, hide, and deal with it. Dayz is not being played in a 2km X 2km map. Its huge. If you are in elektro you can still safely hide for a little while and do whatever you need to do without someone coming up on you. Sorry if I sound like a dick, but I hate people feeling entitled to something like game mechanics being completely reveresed to cater to people with bad connections, disabilities or real life situations. I have a real life, an important job where I can be called in a moments notice to fix critical things. I am not going to bitch about the DC thing because of it. If I get a call from work or my dog has to piss I will go prone and hide for 5 minutes. If I know im going to be gone for a while than just DC and come back in an hour or however friggin long it takes to not get bad rep. Children are a choice, as are pets and wives. If they get in the way of you playing your game, sorry. I didn't want a wife or kids to nag me if I am playing a game. And if I had them and had to do something for them I wouldent be up in arms that the DC mechanic didnt allow me to take care of MORE INPORTANT THINGS. (To you, not me or any other person that dosent know you or your family. It all comes down to you and your life inconviencing other people in a game) Its so rediculous it makes me cry bullshit that anyone would even mention it as a valid reason. The solutions are so obvious and simple is comical to me when ANYONE suggests reasons why DC timers, DC banns are a bad idea. Its almost so obvious you are an avid DCer, server hopper. And I dont mean the the poster I quoted but rather all of the people that bitch about the DC thing. You internet sucks? Maybe you shouldent be playing dayz? When I lived in the dorms on base the internet DID suck. I was paying more than it was worth. I couldent play games, period. I didnt call up rockstar and bitch about they should change RDR network code so I could be able to play and it screw up others. If your internet is so bad that DC bans and such are a serious risk to your enjoying the game, than you probably arent enjoying the game ANYWAY because your internet sucks. You are screwing everyone else with your high latency and expect us to cater to your internet speed disability. I WOULD LOVE to have 100 acres in the middle of montana where no fiber cables exist but if I choose to live there I am not going to bitch at company A because I cant play video games online. Bottom line is, do not expect or feel entitled to anything, especially in a mod. If you spend 80000 dollars on a corvette and the city you live in has no paved roads, are you gonna bitch at the city goverment to build paved roads just for your corvette, NO! You shouldent have bought a corvette in the boondocks. Same way you shouldent have bout an MMO if you live in the sticks. Welfare babies ugh.

even if I downgrade to the beta patch before the latest I am still getting stuck at waiting for character to create.

Holy crap rocket, just add to the lore of your zombies that the infection increases the view of the zombies. And call it a day

* [FIXED] Infected detect players from too far away (reduced by about 20%) SAYS WHO? This is getting rediculous. The game was suppose to be hard.

Some people get it. Holy crap. Im not going to sit here and tell you I am not playing this game till the real issues get fixed because I think you care, or rocket is gonna change shit cuz 1 guy, me, dosent want to play anymore. I'm just stating my opinion that this game has officially grown old and everytime I log in I cant play for more than 30 minutes tops. Its a look here than look there while you don't get killed game. I hate to say it because I loved it at one time when it was fresh and i hadent played long enough to care that exploits where there. Its simply not challenging anymore and with the exploits, something you would ABSOLUTELY EXPECT to be fixed FIRST, misguided. These are not exploits in the way that they somehow help people get to the top of the leaderboards as if I care avout that, its exploits that ruin the enviroment rocket said he wanted. A realistic one. PVP is realistic. PVP with no consequences is NOT realistic. Someone takes a shot at me and kills me than DC because now he has pissed off zombies coming at him. Comes back in, all clear, proceed to loot my rotting corpse. That is the fundamental cause of KoS, excessive PVP, limited teamwork the list goes on. Fix it. The good suggestions are out there from a lot of people rocket. Fix your game, get back on track, the track YOU wanted to go. Edited to add really quickly that I understand, "alpha blah blah" but guess what? DC? EASY fix. Server Hopping? EVEN EASIER fix. Rocket said it himself. And its not that he cant do it, its that he isnt focusing on it. So alpha or no alpha, fundamental game breaking issues like this are more inportant than balancing zombies. Especially when they shouldent be balanced they should just be realistic (within his story of the zombies (Infected) that is)

You are actually the one spewing nonsense. As I said, its not something "I didnt like" or anything I only particularly want that he isnt doing. Its something HE, ROCKET, the CREATOR wanted. An antigame with no balancing only realism. They are losing focus.

this may be alpha but for a patch rocket and crew said they wouldent release early because it was crazy different and needed testing time they sure released the worst danm patch i think any of us have seen. The database and online code of the game is litterally F*CKED. Love the aggro range tho. In addition, stop catering to the masses, keep making the game harder. Its what you originally wanted. (Not saying just the hardcore players, rocket made it no secret it was his goal to create an unbalanced, realistic anti-game) and yet the more and more players they have the more they dumb it down. With fame and money comes change and its always change to appease the share holders and in most cases its not what the devolper wanted. Keep focused on making the game brutal. You wana know why there is constant PVP? Because the zombies keep going soft cuz of all the winers. If I shoot you and can just DC and come back and dont have to worry about zombies seeing me and shit than Im going to keep doing it. FOCUS ON THE EXPLOITS. DC, SERVER hopping should be 10 times more important than most anything. Zombie behavior, making them harder so PVP is riskier should be next. I feel like the devs have tottally lost focus with fame.

And no fix for hunger and thirst reset? Wtf?

What physics engine....... :|
