30 seconds after this picture was taken, a man could be heard screaming "MY LEG IS EXTREMELY PAINFUL!!!"

EVE Online was, and still is, a FAR superior MMO. Suck it.

Currently, hunting, fishing, and growing crops is easy enough to do. All you need to do is gather all the individual materials and DO it. However, the problem is that doing so requires you to fill you inventory with those things needed, and therefore forego carrying other things. This is due to two things. The first, is the arbitrary (IMO) inventory system that unrealistically represents the size of certain items. The second, is that persistence is still a work in progress. Once persistence is finished, we will be able to RELIABLY store our extra stuff in a tent, thereby allowing us to carry what we need, and store what we don't need RIGHT NOW until we do need it, instead of dropping it after we are done with it, only to have to go and find a replacement when we need it again later (or storing it in a tent that WILL get deleted every Wednesday, or might get deleted after a crash or just because). I imagine that it will happen sometime in beta, after the core game, and persistence, is finished.

I cannot get out of this loop where I eat to sate hunger, but get full or VERY stuffed before getting energized. Then I get back down to starving, eat a piece of fruit, and I am stuffed again. Im constantly either about to puke, or about to starve, and either way, never energized.

I know, I know. Im not the first. or last. but I feel sooooo good about it! http://cloud-4.steampowered.com/ugc/546391566388305291/FEA14BB7F442CCF404B57D3CA6106E9EEA625FAD/

Lol. I JUST saw that. weird....

No, this has come about entirely from eating food. Aside from a few sodas, no drinking. All of the hydration has come from what you get from foods like oranges and kiwis and some of the canned foods that provide hydration in addition to nutrition. Ill give that a try. Thanks! seems like this only started to happen to me after the last patch. Thus far I have noticed with all of my characters that I get full MUCH quicker, making getting full hydration AND energy (and therefore healthy/healing status) more time consuming. But THIS character in particular has had a really rough time for some reason. Either the nutrition value of food dropped, or its "volume" increased. Either way, its kinda badly balanced, IMO.

a very simple solution to that would be to CLOSE the door.

Frankly, I gotta side with hicks on this. I saw the image and lolled, of course, but as I scrolled down and saw all the hate, I was facepalming. This is EXACTLY the sort of thing the "alpha" argument is all about. Its a new feature, and little things like that will get fleshed out eventually. This is NOT the sort of thing that should be bothering anyone, causing them to sling their feces at the devs like a bunch of monkeys, blatantly insulting their integrity and work ethic. Its one thing to make a complaint about something like, say, not having made it possible to use a map WITH a compass simultaneously (one of my big pet peeves) from the very beginning, or not having developed foundational gameplay things like a fully functional, intuitive, non-clunky melee system from the very beginning, BEFORE adding in tons of new items that don't contribute much, if anything, to gameplay like girly dresses. Don't get me wrong, I love that things like that are in game, I just feel the foundation should have been finished before starting to build the house. But ranting aside, this is still an incredibly fun game, even with its flaws, and even those will be fixed or fleshed out eventually. As quick as I am to criticize some of the design decisions and priorities of the devs, I would never insult them like that. Let me put it to you this way: Just a few days ago, I had an encounter with another player. Literally NOTHING happened between us. No words, no shots, no fighting. Just a brief standoff where we aimed at one another for a while before breaking away and running different directions. But the entire time, my heart was pounding in my throat. The tension was INTENSE. Not even alien isolation is able to achieve that level of tension with me. Now, even though this game has some glaring flaws that make me curse the DayZ gods now and again, that sort of thing is why I keep coming back. So I just want to take a moment and say, thanks devs. You may annoy me every time you add in a new clothing item I don't give two shits about instead of developing other things, but you know what? If this was football, and you guys were the players, and Dean was the coach, then I would be one of the fans in the stands. I can shout and scream allllll day about fumbles, or bad plays, or bad calls from the coach, but you know what? Im just in the stands, watching. Unless im actually playing the game, I don't really know what the fuck im saying. And despite all that anyway, I still keep coming back to watch the game. Oh, and Merry Christmas.

Plot twist: DAMAGED, not ruined. Also, I repaired it with a leather sewing kit. Plot twist: true. but its still useful as a rapidly deployable fortress. After all, the walls are bullet proof. Im actually looking forward to trying to survive without the use of a backpack.

Will attend. *begins searching fog server for grenades WHAT? I just want to have some fireworks...its not what ur thinking I swear!

The op stated that he looked in cherno. Specifically the storage rooms. He did NOT say that he ONLY searched in cherno. In fact, And regardless of whether or not he searched elsewhere, this IS currently a problem in those servers with persistence on (which is a very large majority). I have seen it myself. miles and miles of empty buildings, not even "junk loot". EVERY item gone. Not all servers, but quite a few.

Difficulty is all well and good. I support that fully. But the difficulty should arise as an aspect of deliberate, intelligent, and balanced game design. NOT because of a bug or glitch. When he means there is no loot, he means NONE. ANYWHERE. You MIGHT find some in the far far north, but good luck getting there without starving, and with no weapon, only to find a pen or paper or pair of sunglasses. This is a result of the persistence system being broken atm. NOT because of intentional game design. Its like zombies, for example: They can pose a real threat (if you are not carefull) when confronting them head on. This is because they are difficult to kill using melee. Not because they were designed that way, but because melee fighting is, for the moment, clunky, unintuitive, unresponsive, laggy, and well, just terrible. Even a fire axe (sword??? don't know, haven't found one yet) is not very intuitive; just when you think you hit the bastard, it turns out that the hitboxes didn't reach, or you wait for the right moment to strike, then press LMB, only to have nothing happen, forcing you to disengage and circle jerk again. I LOVE this game, (ok, hold on. I came back to type this: let me repeat myself: I LOVE THIS GAME!) but it kinda annoys me when fanbois defend its worst flaws. Nothing is perfect, and there is nothing wrong with pointing out deficiencies. Face the facts man. This is a great game, with even greater potential, but it has some reallllly shitty flaws. And the alpha excuse doesn't work either. Im talking about CORE GAMEPLAY mechanics that still aren't functional or even present at all, yet they keep adding in new clothing items. Should those things not come after the CORE of the game is built? Shouldn't that have been the first priority before all else, in the alpha stage? ...and for the love of god people, don't flame me. I love this game, and could talk all day about its greatness. But I wont, because you already know why its great. Those things don't, however, mean we should discount what is wrong. (side note, broken loot spawning is a bug brought about naturally by the development process, and not one of the "flaws" I mention. holy shit I went on a rant again. but hey, what the hell do I know?)

1st part: AWESOME! Well done. 2nd part: *Darth Vader* "NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!" Edit: super sad. guess im not getting in any looting or killing before work today. Gotta work the whole night too....

And thus, yea, and verily, dideth the lord sayeth, "Booty Bless". And loe! It was good. Amen.

actually, I think the proper term is "swiped". Welcome back philly.

Wait. You mean to imply that this is NOT what we have been playing??? The people I am killing are zombies, and not crazed South Korean monsters?

"REAARRRHHGGG!!!" -Unknown "Hur hur hur HUUUUuurrr" -Unknown "GAAAhsshtkrakka*unintelligible" -Unkown.

A similar one to that, which comes from the Chronicles of Thomas Covenant series by Stephen R. Donaldson: "The only way to hurt a man who has nothing, is to give him back something broken."

Lol. I saw the thread title and came here to post that. its in my sig.

I was able to get on. played for a bit. now im just waiting for persistence to come back on.

I am unable to join as well. It just says "Waiting for host". But I can see that at least 19 people are still in the server. Figures. the only day I get to have off this weak too.

Ah, I see. THIS makes sense. Too bad...I guess there really isn't any point in setting up a well established base camp for the time being. I can still use my spot (it is ULTRA fukin sneaky. I would be legitimately VERY surprised if anyone found it. And its not even something dumb like "all the way to the edge of the map in the trees" either. It is very conveniently located) to store a pack with a few back up supplies, but building a full on HOME is just not worth the effort. Oh well. ill just have to wait till they fix it I guess. probably be waiting just a long as it takes for them to fix the terrible that is the current melee system...

"persistence will be turned off so that people can get looted up" (admin message that appeared on screen) What does this mean? Why is persistence getting turned off? I JUST started to build my little camp and its all going to go away? or what?

Yeah, no. Im home now. This is my new favorite server. I even already have a small supply stash established. You will know I am around by my in game name, Cobra Commander.
