against server hopping^^

It's not mainly about stopping server hoppers... it's about making them wait for what they do to this game, even it's a short period of time. And it's against ghosting, which is also very annoying. And you dare to say server hopping is a way of playing this game and devs shouldn't force you to stop hopping? So cheating is also legit, because it's just a way of playing dayz? Yeah would be nice if they disable Anitcheatsoftware, it's cruel to force a cheater to stop teleporting or spawning stuff, just because it's his way of playing this game... I hope this timer will get much more longer or they find a way to really piss server hoppers off.

At the moment there is far to much loot in this game... i spawned near solnichniy yesterday on a 17/40 server... i looted 3 villages & electro within half an hour, got healthy, fully hydrated & energized, a mosin with ammo, Magnun & ammo, fireaxe, backpack full off food and drink... thats far too easy

Best option would be bodies that stay on the ground, but are only lootable for... let's say 1 - 5 minutes. So the realism would be there (Bodies lying around) but it would be hard to get back your own gear if you die.

I tried it before with the rig i have in my signature, i get about 30-40 fps in the cities on "ultra" settings, everything on max and lowering them doesn't appear to change fps at all

If i'm low geared with only fists or a melee weapon, i move in circles around the Zed, aiming for his head. So you can take him down without him even trying to bite/hit you. If i have my mosin and/or a secondary i sometimes give them a clear headshot, if he isn't in close combat range already. That ways i normally will never loose blood to a zed

It's not even about PvP... i don't like it really, but even if i'm up in the north all alone i love 3PP because it just looks way better than playing in first person. It's juist like the fact, that i would never turn down my graphics just to see other players hiding. i wouldn't do this because i really enjoy the look of the Standalone and the best way to enjoy it is third person. If they would disable it, i might quit this game... if they had disabled 3PP in e.g. World of Warcraft i might have quit that too, so thats no "DayZ problem", but just the fact that i really like 3PP... If you don't want it, please play on a 1PP Hardcore server, but don't try to destroy other peoples dayz experience.

Once upon a time, i was on a trip to NWAF with 3 friends of mine, we had a car and all the stuff we could've imagined. As we investigated the hangars, we saw a Player running across the airfield straight towards the firestation, without even noticing us. As we all were Bandits at that time, we couldn't resist following him. We sneaked up to his position on the top floor inside the station, one of us going to the roof from the outside, the rest of us taking the stairs in total silence. He was utterly suprised and didn't even raise his gun against us, so we forced him to take off his gear... as two of us expected the gear he put on the floor, he told us he "hopes that we will all die soon" - just before my mate took him down with a bullet to the head. We enjoyed it and went on looting as if nothing had happened. One of us went to the top of the firestation and checked the surrounding area, but as he went back to the ladder, he desync'd and fell down the tower to his death. We laughed a bit about it, put his gear in the trunk to pick him up near Kamenka and waiting for the last man, which had been looting the barracks... as he came back, he was followed by a few Zeds, so we drove towards him and his company... Well we wanted him to enter on the right, he wanted to enter on the left, so we accidentely ran him over... number 2 dead... We still didn't think about the words of the poor guy we shot, of course this was only a matter of bad luck. Near Zelenogorsk, on our way to pick up our fresh bambies we saw a heli crash site on the field and we decided to investigate, but as soon as we were close to site, both of us were taken out by M107 shots... That was the moment in our teamspeak, that all of us thought about the lonesome man on the NWAF, whos last wish was fulfilled...

I hate it when players abuse 1PP to aim better or see loot that isn't really accessible in 3PP. I hope the devs will disable 1PP soon.

it's not a wipe, only a character server crash.... if it is a wipe, you wouldn't spawn a new character each time you join a server. The only problems are that you can't load your character, which result in a fresh bambi each serverjoin

news flash. rebuild =/= new engine

I really hope you won't get any refund, because that would simply be stupid "Hey i bought this early alpha and i like to have a refund because it's early alpha!" There are people who died in much worse ways than falling of a deerstand in SA and in the mod, instead of whining and complaining you should do what you've paid for: Give feedback and help developing this game. Maybe you're the first dying from falling off a deer stand, maybe this has never occured before. So how could this be fixed by now, if you haven't given feedback about this "bug". but seriously... try falling down 2 meters with full military gear and a 40 kg backpack... this will hurt and you might break some bones... which will simply be your deathsentence in a post apocalyptic zombie world.

First it's been only a year since they started the game new, because the game they tried to do before wasn't the game they wanted to give to the world.... second it's is much harder to have an existing engine and trying to get features into it, which normally aren't even possible. if they had started a whole new engine, it might be faster and easier to implement features instead of taking an existing one and trying to fit everything in, balancing, solving performance issues. I usually don't see any rubberbanding, desync, lag and i even don't see any bugs or glitches most of the time, so i can't really understand what you are talking about. the game is in a great state for the short time it is in alpha state and the features you are missing are most likely to be done soon. So if you don't want to help developing this great game, please go play rust, which is a shitty game with no compare to dayz.

if they haven't changed it since the last time i tested, it's a coincidence. I've tested with different characters and everytime i got different results

even if you are sprinting it would last hours before you have to eat again... drinking is another thing, since it's not energybased and sprinting needs a lot of water

being hungry has nothing to do with your stomach or food level, but with your energy... you have an energy reserve of up to 20,000 (kcal for example) and you start with aroung 1,000... if you are under 500-600 you are hungry. But most of the things you say are right... a lot of people think they are full on energy if the messages are disappearing, but that only means you're on minimal requirements for surviving. if you eat and drink everything you find you can fill up your energy and walk/run for hours until you have to eat again.... i have never reached full energy until now but i had it very high and i didn't have to eat for more then ten hours ingame time... even with a full water'reserve' you could walk miles before you have to drink again, although you can only store 5-6k in your body... theres a nice video explaining this, but i don't know the name. This video made me rethink my playstyle and it's totally different now... with full energy you won't have to eat for up to 20 hours of ingame movement

Well i haven't read most of the pages, because there are 31 right now.. but... What makes you thing a bandit would rip of his armband i he could? he could be disguised as a hero while killing people who trust him. second is... i don't think killing a bandit should increase humanity. each kill should reduce it, wether it's a good or a bad guy.

i'll give you an advice. Don't die, i swear you will never respawn at solnichniy again

you have to turn clouds off, not on.

Half a day of finding each other? If you use the dayzdb map, each of you needs a maximum of 5 minutes to find out where he is. and it takes a maximum of 20 minutes to get to every point in the map.. since both of you died, theres a something like a 90% chance you spawn not more than 5-10 minutes apart from each other... so theres absolutely no reason to implement a friend spawn system...

Oh man... i wouldn't survive since we don't have gallons of water here, it's all in litres here :'(

They aren't decreasin weapon spawns in general, they decrease for example the M4 Spawns because the introduce more guns to the game... the chance for a single gun will be lower, but there will be many more so it will be balanced and there will guns and gunfights on mass if they are introduced and spawn system works^^

often i go on NO KILL servers and kill everyone i meet, just to make them suffer for what they do to this game. And if someone tries to kick or ban me for killing on a no kill server, i simply report the server for going against the rules. Thats the fun

Okay maybe it varies, i have never had this problem before, so i thought it yould generally be the case that i have mentioned above ;)

Healthy means full of life, not full of energy. If you're full of energy you could run hours, as it's said above. Full of energy would e.g. need you to eat about 45 cans of beans, which takes a bit of time, because your "stomach place" is limited and it takes about 5 minutes to digest it. So roughly 45 minutes of eating canned beans.
