See, I already found something relevant.

OK, time to hop over to Reddit for a minute. I love the forums but this thread is pointless. It would be nice to see some screen shots and discussion of the experimental build but they would just get buried by whatever-the-hell-is-going-on above this. I wonder if these threads should be open for comments in the future. Is it just being used as a place to corral the weirdness?

You already took the bait. How about this, just post every 100th thought that pops into your head.

I've noticed that certain issues like "Floating Loot" are listed as resolved in the bug tracker but they aren't resolved in game. I still see floating loot often. Also, as far as loot falling through floors, I placed an item on the floor of a one story building yesterday and it never reappeared but this issue is listed as resolved on the bug tracker. I'm just curious if anyone else is having these issues and if so why is the bug tracker inaccurate. I reported an issue (nesting of yellow carry cases) on there a week ago and it hasn't been listed as reviewed or even acknowledged. I think the dev team is doing an amazing job and I love the game, I'm just wondering how others feel about the system and looking for some feedback so I won't have to wonder how these issues are being addressed. I think if people had a clear idea of what it means to report a bug they may do more of that and less coming on the forums to say "OMG420yoloNOscope add vehicles m8!" EDIT: After digging further into the bug tracker, it is obvious that people are putting stuff in there that does not remotely belong there. Perhaps no one is assigned to work on it currently. Some of that stuff should be deleted. I saw that someone had asked a question "If I buy the game and don't like it can I have my money back?" That's not a bug people.

Why would you ever post something like this? It's the equivalent of recording yourself while you beat up and rob a little kid. Find another hobby man. Hopefully, I will shoot you in the back while you are doing this before long.

I've never been shot on the coast myself. OP, run away from the water and inland as far and as fast as you can. Do not fuck around in the villages or buildings near the water. You can run for at least ten minutes without dying of dehydration. That's going to get you nearly to Stary Sober. Find a small town on the map near Stary with a well and profit. Stop hanging around the coast, it's a cluster, especially on high pop servers. Hell just the other night I shot my own friend there out of pure confusion.

You're right. AK-47 it is then. EDIT: Gramm're

Wow, way to work the thread you've each gotten like a hundred posts out of this bad boy. Think it may be time to move on but let's see what R2 has to say about it.

Just bumping this to see if anyone knows what's up with the bug tracker. Thanks!

I know, I'm talking about the official area to note bugs found in the alpha: http://feedback.dayzgame.com/my_view_page.php The info there is inaccurate.

I think it's funny that people who think these servers are lame seem to be logging onto them. At least this thread is evidence of that. Why don't you just go about your way and let them do their thing? When I log onto a non KOS server, I do so knowing full well that there is no such thing as a non KOS server, but I admit, I do hesitate a little longer before shooting someone. Honestly, KOS is such a tired topic to me. I think the discussion should change. If I see someone running in the opposite direction of me across a field, I don't shoot them, I watch them and make sure they aren't trying to flank me or take my freedom in any way before I move on. Now yesterday, some dudes chased my buddy out of NEAF. What they didn't know is that I was providing over watch from the hills and he was leading them right to me. Even in that case, where they were obviously trying to kill my friend, I decided to lay down some suppressing fire and avoid taking their lives. It was hilarious how quickly they changed direction when I started shooting. In all honesty it was more gratifying than killing them. Also, your argument that they are using these servers to gear up is ridiculous. You just don't like the idea of a friendly server. I'll tell you where people are gearing up. If they're smart they're doing it on low populated night time servers because those things are player deserts. You can run all the way around the NWAF with your flashlight on and not worry about anything.

Wow! Can you post a link to some of the games that you've made? I would really like to check out your work. I'm sure it's amazing. Unless, that function is literally the only one you know how to implement. I don't want to play a game where people just place bags on each other's heads.

The back pack inception problem was causing servers to crash and many other performance issues when done over and over so I think it was a large problem.

I have yet to find a magazine or ammo that was listed as anything other than pristine. Also, does anyone know when they plan to implement the conditions legitimately? When will guns get a condition status?

I was joking about the bars but if you want to be a weirdo about it, I have been there, in fact, it's the first place I went after I geared up on release day. The town is actually extra amazing now because it's a free for all as far as loot is concerned. It will be the best town in the game.

Not sure about the slings. But hell why not, I definitely think if you log out with something in your hands you should have it when you come back in. I also think that if you can carry a gun and an axe why not two guns? So, it's really as simple as that for me. It makes literally no sense that you can currently strap on one gun and one axe but not two guns or two axes for that matter.

I'm just assuming that he is filming from an actual flood/disaster area despite his calm demeanor.

Hmmm... So what your saying is, "I have no idea what it will look like but it's not that interesting." The current state of the town in nowhere near complete. They haven't even added the freestanding houses yet. The only thing there is the train station and the downtown buildings. That town is going to be amazing. With the train station, the docs, the cliffs to the north, the hilly streets, it has two bars, we goin party down in the city on Guba bay. I say we make it the Chernarus equivalent of Nawlins' only have mardi gras every day instead of every year.

A lot of these ideas sound great. I like that all XP gained are erased when you die. I think in the span of a characters "life" they should get better at certain things. People that respond to a post this long and intricate with, "NO XP" are morons by the way. I think you've set forth some really interesting ideas. A lot of them are similar to features in Project Zomboid, the emotional states and fortification systems. Honestly they add a lot to the experience. If you get chased for your life by diseased maniacs that want to rip you into pieces, your health is affected. I don't understand why members of the community would be OK with cholera but not anxiety. Both are documented illnesses with cures and causes. It's not like you're going to get anxious and never be able to relieve the symptoms. Most of this stuff is coming to the game whether we like it or not. It's the only way to complete the original vision of DayZ as a survival simulator. All those opposed, play some Project Zomboid and imagine those features implemented into DayZ. It would be awesome. And yes, getting better at something should be a reality, and yes, it definitely needs to be "ungrindable". I really like the solutions that you've put forth for ghosting and server hopping as well. They seem easy to implement and would definitely fix the problem. Nice list, beans for you sir. Ignore the naysayers, you don't see them taking the time to make a well thought out list of ideas in opposition to this.

I think running back to "your" own corpse to recover "your" loot is ridiculous. Death should carry the ultimate consequences.

Bases and vehicles are in the long term plans. No way they will be implemented by the end of January. It will definitely be sometime this year. Each of those components is a huge undertaking.

I think a lot of the people posting in this thread are being very short sited. Spray paint is going to have long lasted effects on the game as a whole. Sure, its initial application will be limited but eventually you will be able to tag buildings, mark trees to leave trails, customize cars, and so much more. Just think about how that will change the game. The zombies will be fixed, combat logging will be fixed, but for now let's enjoy each small feature they are adding. Just please, stop whining and remember that this game could be in an alpha state for SEVERAL months.

Git' er' dun'!!!

Car trunks (boots) have by far the most common instances of mosins in the game currently. Make sure to check the wrecked cars.

OK, everyone read carefully and understand that this isn't happening until next week. Sorry to be redundant but I don't want people getting their panties in a bunch when it doesn't happen this weekend. The devs have clearly stated that this will take place next week. Experimental branch update on Monday and regular branch at the end of next week.
