The rest if the world shouldn't feel the need to change a game that attracte such loyalty in the first place...I think that was the point. If a core element believe in a concept, it is deeply uncomfortable to see that warped by others who haven't been there through the earliest birth pangs. Like watching your girlfriend become a sex symbol and seeing her exploited by an industry. Just my pseudo psychological evaluation.

Welcome to DayZ Alpha

It's a total pain and those guys are arseholes for doing it, but there isn't a feature in place to address yet unfortunately. Given time, I'm sure we'll see one...I hope.

Barricading would be phenomenal but the code work would be too, unfortunately...

I doubt it. But would be worth a suggestion.

In a game about zombies, zombies shouldn't be able to hurt you...?

Already been said. Many times. It almost certainly will be addressed by Rocket, judging by his posts in those numerous, numerous other threads.

Cheers for that!

I could work on a backstory with you if you're willing to have a little outsider input into your baby? I appreciate you turning that down if you so wish though. I'm working on a piece of fan fiction so it could be integrated...

Plenty of online maps in HUGE resolution. 3500x2500 is the one I've got.

I did. It's how I found it!

Oh God... I saw enough 'bronies' in Total War Centre...lol

Built up cities, as stated above, have the consistent potential to seriously inhibit any longevity you hope to squeeze from your character. They are terrifyingly exciting places to stalk - rammed with zeds, bandits, survivors and enough tension to make your pulse race. But it's also a shit storm.

Wow... I've never come across this. Sorry I can't be of more help.

I don't want it to appeal to the masses. Part of the draw is that 'cult/underground' perspective that the community has actively promoted and fostered. We don't like outsiders... Lol

A vitriolic reply to a reasonable suggestion. Rather undeserving.

If it is beyond reasonable doubt that hosts have shut down a server, they should immediately incur a lengthy ban.

I think intermittent static interference could be a nice touch. Explicable as the degradation of communication systems over a period of time. It would be very difficult to integrate into the programming, but it would be beautiful as a tool/device/feature.

Apologies Dale 0404

I think team mates wittering in your ear at the exact wrong time is perfect for a tense prone by of zeds.

I can't disagree with that.

Excellent diversionary tactic. Unaware as to the programming/dynamic implications though...

Succinct, considered article. I may not agree with every principle, but you are most certainly entitled to your opinion.

This is why we test though, surely?
