I have to disagree, if you like playerencounters and your not whiney about loosing your stuff to a glitch its the game to go. Its right now the most intense gameplay i have ever enjoyed. After all its a learning factor even if you play every patched version only once, its absolutly worth it! I for myself will play the game to master each feature it delivers and in my opinion joining the game right now will help with this learning process.

That Sir is just mean. They implented more than just an emote and tried to stabilize the build. They rushed it to early with to little testing but they defenetly heading the right way!

Its great to see some progress but i belife like many others i spoke to, that that patch was released to early and causes more problem than it actually fixes. Got about 10 people in my group and every singleone experience the same FPS drop issue what leaves us unable to play the game. Next time keep us waiting a bit longer for more extensive testing periods on the experimental breanch. Keep up the good work!

Great Patch, but zombies should not aggro that bad when you are voicechatting, they are haering you from about 40 Meters away, or give a whispervoicechat funktion where your voice reaches only 3 meters or somthing like that.

Try make a camp in the Badlands (Areas far behind Bopeba Dam/Airfield/Balcklake) You have to go for a while to get there but your stuff is absolutly safe for weeks or months. Try build more than only one camp sp if one gets robbed, you still have an other, dont make your camps to big (only 2 to 3 tents). You can survive in the Badlands too, since there are spawning no Zets but Animals for meat do and there is plenty of freshwater you can fill in Waterbottles. Only thing negativ is, its just freeking boring out there, but that is it what makes it save(dont place cars next to your tents since they can be spotted by the Heli so easy[Vehiclecompass]).

You should be implanting a preorder funktion and people who preorder should get a cammo underwear as thk you. XD Pls i just wanna pay, and be sure that i done everything to be rigth there at the SA start, i eaven dont matter when its released (eaven when i got to wait for it to the end of the year). In Rocket we trust fArmen^^

I kind of really dont getting your point? By overkille i meaned to much new coding for weapons that will not used much if anyhow. Airguns are pretty common today, pls look in the internet to get yourself an idea of how much airsoftsportguns are out there(maby you are german? than Airsoftgun means Luftdruckgewehr), that can be modded really easy to more poweroutput. I dont understand what is a superhardcoremode when you not got like ten DMR mags in your backback but only one or two. I am not against Bandits, that is one of the feature that makes the game great and a heros become througth them a real Hero, so no problem with sniping Bandits and a backbag full of ammunition, as long as he deserves from scavenging or by robbing it. Are you allrigth man? You are quiet aggressiv without making any further prozess to the topic so whats your point? That a Game isnt "easy" dont means it isnt accesable, never mentioned that it should be less accesable or something so? As you can see on other Games(like Dark Souls), Hardcoregamemode is quiet in comming rigth now. If you whant a game that is easyer to get in serach for something else. Like Arma2/Arma3 there you dont got to think about survival aspects, but here in a survivalgame you should!

I am thinking ideas are generally good but overkilling the thema a bit. In my opinion i would see devs work on other things than Skis or the posibility to build an oneshotgun, who surly noone ever will use. I sugest leave all wapons as they are an only make ammonition really really rare. Everybody in the apocalypse should wear a Gun, but having the ammo for fireing is an complete other question. To the point of Wapon maintance. i am obviosly pro to this, so i really like the idea of desintegrating or in battle jaming weapons but, some people think a little rain an mud will kill a weapon fast. Thats not true, what makes the guns life hard is to use(fire) it. You can actually take an AK47 direkt out of muddy wather where it was for days and you still should be able to unload your clip with rigth away. This Weapon is so simple build that you dont eaven need real maintance tools. If its dirty take a Shoelace some kitchenoil and clean the shaft, weapon is ready to use again. In my country (Austria) there are many weapons in the ground the rivers and woods and so on, they are few today but when you are lucky and have a metaldedector you will maby be able to find some old russian, american or german rifles or pistoles, and when you are a little more lucky that gun will still be able to fire. I am for momemade guns like a potatogun, a selfbuild Airgun eaven an higthpower Airgun would be nice (~240-400 Joule, sportairguns have about 7 joule). Bows would be nice, and you could make the ammo for them yourself from wood you can gather from forrests. The skinning knife as actual weapon with the ability to instantkill from behind with mouswheeloption, as long as you got the Knive in Hand. A wooden stick that you can get from any tree with the ability to throw it. Human excrement in a Bottle, you dont see smoke but has the same effekt on Zets like a Smokegrenade. Zombiefakestance, give the ability to cover yourself with zombieblood and stuff, and makes your animations change to Zet animation so that players and zombies (as long as you stay in your camo with slow movement and so) will take you just for an other Zombie if they dont look really close or are really near. An Harpune would be nice to, makes sounds like an normal gun but you can get back the Bolts when you are able to find them again. Gasmask and poisongas would be nice for sectioncontroll to. Nailgun bad aiming but ammo like a machinegun on a Belt. Slingshot.

Great as always, but all i am waiting for is someone telling me where(or when) to preorder it? Thx for your good work, Creators for the game and Forumstuff for sharing with the community.

Thanks for everything, its amazing to be alive! Happy 2013

Would make you and your friends more cooperativ, so as everybody else, cause you would have to be good with some other guys that you maby meet ingame. It would make the need for sociality bigger. I dont know what Rocket and if he had said something about skilltrees, but in my opinion, i postet everyting in () that wasnt so Threadrelated and wrode that it was only my personal opinion. At last it would make it more simulation like. Please read exactly. Fixin with scrap metal was Mechanik1 in my little mindgame^^. I am most time a loner and friendly to, i got a RL on my own, but thank for informing me that you have one eigther XD. Gamemechanics have nothing to do with gametime you put in, got to do with features, noone tells you that it is meant to fix an car that fast or needing 20 hours for it, or needing you to bring a friend. Rigth now you can fix a car on your own in like 5 minutes. With something like that i have mentioned, one would scout it, bring information back to an bigger group that are now heading out and trying to get the Car for the group. It doesnt matter for the loner sniper Bandit, cause he snipes People out of Cars and steals it, and for friendlys would be a nice encouragement to work to getter, an so on build bigger forces. Ok maintheme of my post was that i think that NPCs are to weak, when there are more of them and they actually can kill you everywhere most problems should be solved....but surly not all!

You are good in explaining what DayZ isnt. But either seam to have no clue what DayZ is! Rigth now its mostly an DM with a cople of zombies and some survival features, but that is not what makes the game great. Its like in Minecraft, the fantasies that people have, of what this game could be like someday. Rocket anounced that he whant to fill so much content in the game, that not every User will be ever using every single option the game will have for you. I am against removing the weapons and i think they are prety good ballanced(as long as cheaters will be sorted out), but i am clearly for an "one person cant do everything" invention for the Game. Everyone should be able to survive alone, but it should be easyer when you gather in groups, cause of the broader skill varaity (Medicin skill unlocks medical option or something. Like you have to ballance your Char pregame in diffrent skills.[everyone can take painkillers] Medicin1: gives you ability to pach Bandages. Medicin2: gives you the ablility to give Epipens. Medicin3: gives you the ability to give Morpine. Medicine4: gives you the ability to give Bloodbags.[everyone can repair Wheels] Mechaniks1: gives you the ability to patch scrap metall. Mechaniks2: gives you the ability to fix glas. Mechaniks3: gives you the ability to repair fueltanks and engineparts. Mechaniks4: gives you the ability to fix Mainrotor. Or something like this would be nice in my opinion.). Mainproblem, rigth now are the NPC´s, they are to weak, when you play Namalsk you will learn that people are much more cooperativ when the Terrain is more dangerous.

I personally dont really care if my weapons where on the ground in a pile or hanging in a beautyfull layout over an chimney. But i would be nice to make "dead body containers" that are spawning in the wilderness for example. Main problem for Animals i think is the AI, you surley know that there will be dogs ingame, so some people think if there will be dogs to find, there will be maby wild dogs to attack you, but something like that dont got confirmed. I would say first fix the zombies, than fix the peacefull anymals ingame (they are so slow you can kill every Animal with an Axe [except for the rabbit who is the most realistic animal in the Game rigth now]). than you may be thinking of new enemys.

I dont really care if it will come next year or this, but some infos still would be quiet nice.

There is no recipe for "how to make playercontacts". You can only try to show them/him/her that you friendly in all possible ways and eaven then you may get killed.
