C'mon people, how could this topic become a 2-page discussion? Who are you trying to convince, except for yourselves lol

I actually thought Rocket made these patches. Well, what do I know... But yeah, I guess there will be a global division between DayZ and other mods. I think DayZ is moving too far away, forcing the majority of players to no longer look at the other Mods as a supplement for DayZ now? I got 20-30 people here on my skype wanting to go back to 1.7.6.1 asap. I guess around half of the population on these forums enjoying their new single player PvE experience with the original DayZ? The rest of us - the majority, if I may be so bold - will not waste our precious spare time on trash loot or enjoy hours of just getting rid of the zombies. We will still be playing 1.7.6.1 or some other mod. You can modify and adjust the software, but not the human mind. But thank you for trying anyway, developers. I know you are listening to the community and what they think they want. But you should probably concentrate on just fixing the bugs. Would be very appreciated. Thx.

Q: Will there ever be a post containg an "A:" in this 7-pages long Jeopardy game?

Entspeak, thanks a lot for taking your time to show how to deal with zombies. That said, the poor guy would have been shot a long time ago, running around outside Cherno like that. R4Z0R49, it seems, more testing would have been appropriate before release. Or it could maybe be devided into smaller patches to spread out the workload and the debugging? Regarding the zombies hitting you through walls, is it even possible to avoid on this engine? Does it even have accurate wall crash detection? Just asking, because if you are trying to do a workaround on the impossible, you have my beans Sir!

I like to watch Oshi7 and Sacriel42 because they are serious about gaming and they show how squadplay can be done. Shosho10199 is a high quality streamer as well.

At least you're standing up and telling the truth, young man. You are very brave. But you really should try playing DayZ one day. Then you will find the old saying "Be careful what you wish for" actually got popular for a reason.

Leave it, its a hacked in item and should only be used in the debug fields. Fortunately, most serveradmins choose to ban it and stay with the 1.7.6.1.

You were right, Shadow23. I actually had a conversation with DeathlyRage and although not as young as you think, he is working VERY hard. Can't blame him as the mod is 3-4% done right now.

Who asked for harder zombies anyway? The community?!

I've never been killed by a hero. My group of hoarders does not help anybody outside the group, except for visually confirmed heroes in need of a bloodbag or a ride. We do not search for firefights. However, we do get shot at - and killed - A LOT by both survivors and bandits. So, we mainly kill these people for revenge. And to be honest, in most cases we die trying. Point is, while we do not consider ourselves as particular helpful "good-guys" in the oldskool DayZ conception of a hero, both our skin and humanity show we are. So, either there has got to be more bandits than survivors and heroes put together, at least on the public servers or it does not take a lot to become a hero. Note: We might consider throwing away OP's oldfashioned, all-black-and-white conception of playing styles in DayZ. A "new breed" of players are flooding DayZ and Breaking Point right now, down-categorizing the original idea of PvE, survival, bandits/heroes into just "players". Having watched the streams of FrankieonPC, Oshi7 and Sacriel42 these guys want to become just like them, and they do not differ between freshspawns, bambis or skilled snipers in defined PvP areas - they kill everybody they encounter anywhere on the map for the rush and the feeling of superiority. Well, it's not really considered "new", but you know what I am saying? :)

I just saw this today: http://www.pcgamer.com/2013/05/21/dayz-mod-seeks-community-input-before-next-patch-release/ And I am a bit sad, because I spend almost half a year on a forum that obviously is not the official site for DayZ. Could anybody tell me where to go for news and info on DayZ? Where are these news posted first? Reddit or something? Thx, Skade

This mod needs more servers. With all the streamers getting all excited about it, it has gained popularity very fast and the servers are fully loaded and laggy 24/7. If only they did not use the launcher and some of the many empty and redundant DayZ servers around could be used to setup this mod, many problems would be solved I believe. But the devs do'nt give a flying fk about all the glitches and problems connecting.

The sounds and the fog coming at night really give me the creeps, and sometimes I do hear a different, larger sound than usual - but I never seen an actual infected hound or Nightstalker. There is supposed to be companion dogs in the mod, but they were removed. All the doghouses spawn zombies, no dogs found so far. So a lot of the stuff they originally promised, is either taken out again or never implemented to its full extent.

Its coming out for christmas, Shosho knows a guy inside Bohemia and he told us in one of his streams. Its for strategical purposes, as the sales boost more at Christmas time.

Trust in God if you like, but kill everybody else.

You private server owners just NEED to spam in a commercial for your servers everytime a dude ask for buddies to play with, don't you??! >:(

There are literally 1000+ of small private hives, with kings being pretty much alone in his kingdom.Please tell me, how come you cannot fit in on one the 999 other existing little kingdoms? Due to lack of players on those servers as well, right?..Yeah..so.. I wont pay to have it my way, I can do just fine with whats out there. Paying for joining one is just plain stupid!

Actually, a bandit shot me and 2 mins later my buddy to the ground in a hangar with headshots, probably from the tower at the NWAF. He must have checked us out for at least 15 mins. We were brought in by helicopter by a friend to fight him once again, and he took up the fight. No combat logging, no whine or excuses. But he did change positions and took damage. We never caught him, he got away. I am pretty sure he used a CZ550. Nice, refreshing event compared to the usual hacked in AS50's..We had a complete newbie with us, and the bandit left him alone. +1 First Class Banditry, if I may be so bold.

Haha nice! You have my beans, Mr! :)

Thank you, Fraggle :) You might be right about that. I hope your are. Only, my concern is everybody I met through DayZ has stopped playing months ago and will not pick it up again. DayZ is DayZ and players are still the same, SA or not. And I tend to agree with another of their reasons: Once you are geared up and finished exploring, there is nothing much to do but killing. But I will not start another discussion on lack of things to do in DayZ <_<

Considering the eternal wait for the standalone, no new updates to the mod, Rocket's vacation to Mt. Everest, the very poor last update, the summers coming up, other interests taking over...? I don't. Simply put, of pure loss of interest.

Thank you for sharing :)

Yes, in theory. But then there is the mist/fog..I've never experienced more than 3 km's at maximum.

You waited for it. You looked for it. Here it comes: There is no safe way through Cherno.

..You started a discussion on..reddit? Ok, but I thought these were the official forums? Get finished, btw. DayZ is loosing interest with people.
