    Rolling Update Rev - 0.43.116251

    just tried hardcore experimental and it's super laggy and at least for me not playable (18 ppl were on the server) hmm don't know even the menu is now extremely laggy
  2. oh my... i'd suggest you revise you post one more time. you'll understand that it is very hard and even irritating to read. so please try to bring a bit structure in there. simple is sometimes better. it also doesn't add anything if you cross-post to every thread just to show that you like the ideas. it's far more helpful to actually post in these threads. you would, at the same time, give them credit and again a more display-time. (however only post if you can actually contribute to a topic)

    Can Nothing be done about MetaGaming in Dayz?

    as mentioned before. the premiss of this thread should be: How can we encourage and set incentives to avoid metagaming and use ingame features? that's the poodle's core ;), the litmus test! Why would i WANT to use an ingame device/object. of course metagaming, especially in MMO's will ALWAYS have their place. so maybe let's try to focus on that a bit.
  4. please keep on posting your "favorite bugs" of which ppl seem to be unaware! 0010753: Time acceleration not syncronised

    just to be sure again. loot can't be destroyed, am i right? only if it is on a player? so you can't destroy, let's say an apple by shooting at it.

    Abundance of radios and cell phones would be a possibility. Well at least a radio could be used as transmitter pretty easily...So if we'd assume modern cell phones have also radio functionality and it would be easy to "hack"them..many ifs and woulds...

    just had a glorious idea. ;) Encrypt Mic-in while dayz is maximized, with only the game being able to decrypt withits ingame chat ... Or how about Register every mic input and at least play a generic "muffled sound" when not direct chat is used.

    Either way, the best thing you can do is to set incentives. How can you achieve that people want to use direct chat and also don't want to use 3rd party comms

    Books and mini-games

    book + knive = secret container (ammo, guns, vodka...)

    Cities and City Layout

    i think they just didn't quite give it a thought. kiwis (obvious easteregg), bananas and oranges don't grow in eastern europe and in comparison to the whole setting it seems the apocalypse started months ago.However with the latest patches they tried to introduce more common and reasonable fruits and veggies anyway.

    Cities and City Layout

    ahhh....that doesn't mean that they shouldn't go for some sort of consistency or authenticity for that matter. it's like saying "well there can be also unicorns or drink an energy drink and run 3x so fast, because f* logic we have zombies already"

    Cities and City Layout

    There is simply no consistency from the devs side. On one hand fresh fruits on the other only totally rusted vehicles...

    Just saw Rocket again.

    Why is there still a crosshair ?

    well i would say the dot is quite useful when it comes to looting or melee. not so much with firearms/ranged weapons.

    Forum Suggestion: Required posts to start a new topic

    allowed to post threads if bean count >= 1 OP's idea would kill two birds with one stone: spambots and new forum members that start the same and the same topics over and over again. after some 50-100 posts you know your way around a bit and tend to show more reason when it comes to forum rules and contributions in general.

    Less obnoxious low blood effect

    add tunnel vision and "the black dots" that pop up more and more in your vision when passing out.
  19. ot: speaking of quality - bananas marked as "rotten", well irl i basically eat them in these condition ALL the time. just because they are a bit brown... however: the idea is imo pretty simple and i think the implementation as well. would give more meaning to the "inspect" feature and you could also expand on the "inspect" feature as well: find certain immediately hidden infos by using "inspect" like the true amount of items you have..

    It´s time to retire for DayZ

    really?! now i know why soe presented their game with "hej, we have 1000 players, fire and cars!" edit: the wall exploit is indeed a thing that needs to addressed asap :/

    Dear Developer-Team of DayZ

    i heard two guys even had to act as a horse for motion capture
  22. joe_mcentire

    How do you think DayZ Standalone is going?

    i think they are not that slow when it comes to content. from what i've learned they already have much set in place however there is something that keeps all of that holding back: performance issues. they simply can't implement all their goods because they are still stuck in the server-client architecture thing. and this is something that needs work time testing and work and time. it's a bit bitter for us and of course unnerving but that's what they need to do, cause no-one before tried to tackle such an undertaking. maybe they should have waited again 6 months to go open-alpha and let just a smaller group test a closed alpha build to stress the evolving architecture.

    Larger Map

    to put it simple: quality over quantity. i don't want to see 10 more generic villages with the same old buildings. leave the map the size it has right now, but focus on overhauling and finetuning. add more sceneric places, more unique locations and simply more to see and experience. simply quality over quantity
  24. ? a necro? it's not even a month since the last post :huh:
