I escorted a guy with little else but the clothes he wore through Cherno this morning. Giving him my Makarov and a few mags, I sent him on his way and watched, in horror, as he was popped in the head from a tree line. Beautiful teamwork; beastly banditry...both prevalent, both amazing!

Hot fixes and patches will address issues. This will be a work in progress for many a month yet. Patience is a virtue.

Thanks for the cracking response thus far. Surely we can address this issue if so many of us feel we should?

Difficult to get anyone to agree to that, though your suggestion is understandable and sensible. Ping requirements, lack of server activity, clan servers, etc. All would have implications.

Teamwork rules...I've always held that opinion though, so my bias is palpable!

Had it plenty...no negative effects thus far.

It's what we have, but it can be do much more...surely? If we want a forum to reflect our passion for this game, surely we have the intention to promote that amicably?

Excellent posts fellas. Much appreciated.

They should also wear flat caps and drink stout. Lol But, no, interesting way to please both camps.

As long as we can reach a tentative concensus, I believe we can move forward on this...

Zed Dead Redemption... A Western Day Z Mod??

I am making an effort to be open to any suggestions and opinions. If I were not, it would rather blunt my own assertions.

I'm sure they are perfectly fine on hearing the negatives we highlight. They wouldn't have it any other way as nothing would be improved if we lived with rose tinted glasses and saw the mod as instantly perfect. But there exist ways and means of establishing your point and inviting a response. We, as a community in the majority, currently lack the capacity to do that consistently enough.

If my memory serves me right, Rocket said that we are up against "infected" rather than undead.

This sandbox doesn't have enough options really. You can make a empty area of land a sandboz but you have to fill it with enough things to make it a enjoyable. So far Day Z has that but it could simply be more. Right now you can't do what I say due to not having the ability to actually control an area or zombies not coming from the woods. Some of those people want objectives to flow naturally with the world. Generalizing everyone who brought the game for Arma 2 or simply make suggestions isn't good and it is rather insulting. For that reason not many will take you seriously. I agree. But I trust those additions will be added eventually. Entrenchment tools, base camp options, etc. I most certainly agree that I'd like to see these in game and would be excited to experience them. But if we start scaffolding gameplay, it becomes increasingly linear and dilutes that initial feeling of, "My God...the potential!"

Good to see more recruits. Looks like our tanks could be growing...

So why are the threads so vitriolic?

Yet the community seem to think each patch is a "game" set in stone.

The moon is a big help too...when it's out.

We should introduce "comfort zones" Facetious frivolity.

Rocket doesn't need your derision either. He requires your feedback.

I think we all need to chill out and realise that, as an early community, we are failing in doing these developers any justice.

It's a sandbox mod.

It's a mod in test mode...your feedback is invaluable to improving it, but I don't see what you expect at this stage.
