Private Shard Pricing is Outrageous
Max Planck replied to Weyland Yutani (DayZ)'s topic in General Discussion
Private shard hosters provide a community service too, hosting servers for people to play on. There might be a few who will restrict their server to their own closed group, but I'm pretty sure the majority want other people to play with. -
The brave Christopher "Barechested Alphamale" Livingston over at RPS has carried out an experiment with perma-permadeath in DayZ, please read about it here. A few blurbs from the article: And the comments: So what do you guys think? Would like to up the stakes and try something similar? I was thinking about trying a watered down version myself, where dying would make me stay away for a month or so. That's kind of how I play already though, so I guess it wouldn't make a great difference, but it still might add some sweat to my furrowed brow. Any takers? Any other ideas for added consequence?

You are against people setting voluntary challenges for themselves that affect no others in any way? Why would someone put a voluntary challenge on himself, then cheat to avoid it?
-
Who said it was? Except for the guy in the article, that was the whole point of it. So, it is not for you then. Good for you, have fun however you choose to play.

There are very few Vanilla servers, so I'm pretty sure you could find a good crowd of regulars. I only know of one vanilla server off hand, and it is pretty full mostly. There is still a good amount of people who want to play the original mod, they just don't have a lot of places to go. If you are looking for specific suggestions, a 1st person only vanilla server would be mine. I don't know if it would get a large following, but I think it would be the only one of its kind. I'd play on it.

Now that's masochism. Or maybe it's a really sneaky way to procrastinate. "I swear honey, I'll do the dishes when I die!"

How are we supposed to have discussions in this forum if it gets spammed with livestream topics? No need to answer that, it was a rethorical question. Livestream posts go in the livestream topic, end of story. The people who enjoys watching streams will come here to find them.

Nobody is saying it should be a core feature... We are talking about special servers. We are talking about a personal choice. If you didn't read the article or the comment in this thread, please don't comment.
-
No, at least I don't. Can't speak for the others, there might be one or two... The game is what we make of it, and some of us thinks that self-imposed difficulties like this would make it better. It has nothing to do with masochism, it has to do with trying to shape the experience and getting exactly what we are seeking out of it. It's about getting value for our purchase, one could say. The point is not to limit, but to enhance the experience.

I agree, I think Christophers' attempt was a little, let's say foolhardy. The essential idea was good though, if a bit extreme.
-
People, eh? Can't live with them, has to be one. But you are right, even the forum admin is trolling my topic.
-
It wouldn't happen, it can't happen. The game would not be changed so drastically this far into development and after 2mil people have paid for it. We can still discuss voluntary options though, I really think servers with limited respawns would change the way people play in a more survival oriented direction. I would love to see it happen.
-
The buggyness did have a good deal to do with how he died, maybe the game isn't really ready for an extreme experiment like this one. But less could do. I've been thinking about that and I kind of like the idea. I don't think it would go down well though, and it wouldn't be fair to introduce something like that this far into development. Maybe on special servers or something like that? EDIT: Yeah, something like that.
-
This is a 'confession' thread, right? If it turns into a repeat of the Hacking/Ranting topics, It will be locked.
-
I confess that the only thing I have ever actually reported to the dev team, was a spelling error.

Eating and drinking system - Please, just give it up.
Max Planck replied to Ham_Sandwich27's topic in General Discussion
You are right, the devs haven't done anything to 'fix it'. They are often tweaking it though, likely to gather certain data or for other development related reasons. That is, and should be their main priority, developing the game. I don't expect that we'll see a final version (the 'fix') until release or shortly before. It's a matter of tweaking, but you need data to get it right. -
When you cant find any animals and...........
Max Planck replied to thelonewarrior's topic in Gallery
I have a complete and udder respect for that. -
The best way to find information on development progress is by reading the weekly status update posts and by following the DevStalker. Making "are-we-there-yet?" topics is not the way.
-
If you encounter an abusive admin or server, please do not post it here on the forums. We cannot do anything with these reports. It is not productive and does not expedite action taken against these servers. Please report them to the GSPs directly following the pinned Guidelines.

Please take a little while to read through the pinned topic with already suggested suggestions, you'll find it here: http://forums.dayzgame.com/index.php?/topic/186014-list-of-already-existing-suggestions/ As you will discover, ghillie suits has already been suggested.

Are refunds available? My game can not run on my computer
Max Planck replied to Jdawg2398's topic in New Player Discussion
Yazar has a good point. It's going to take a good long while before the game is completed anyway, might as well hold on to your copy and see what the future has in store for your computer. -

Max Planck replied to Jdawg2398's topic in New Player Discussion
You bought it from Steam, so it is up to them. That said, you should have checked minimum requirements before purchasing. I doubt Steam will reverse the sale on that reason. -

Hey guys! I've cleaned the off-topic squabbling out of the topic, please carry on (and on and on) without the personal insults. -
