dashx73 (DayZ)

I remember rocket talking about a hidden skill tree, that took place while preforming actions, heal your buddy and suddenly you become better with medical supplies, do alot of running and you get higher stamina, loot objects and you have a better chance of finding something useful. How i see it, is the same thing can happen In real life you would have three people open the same fridge one would open the fridge and see the shelves were empty and close and walk away one would open and notice a single slice of cheese in the bottom rack of the fridge and an old apple in the bottom drawer, the third would open the fridge, and actually take the tray out of the fridge and use it as a container, while also removing the lightbulb from the top of the fridge and fitting it in his flashlight.. More Pros would be that this would take a huge load off of the server cache, and I have other ideas for even improving it further that could ultimatly remove "server resetting as a something that has to occur constantly" Items could still appear in the alleyway if a player actually put them there.

Love the mad max especially roy the trapper, there are so many insanely talented artists that can be found simply by searching apocalyptic clothing " "and they thought the payday masks looked cool smh.."

Did you know it's as simple as opening the add-on folder and deleting a few files, and suddenly you can walk thru walls and shoot thru anything because they no longer appear in game. However people can still connect to the server.. Download any of those free to play games, you know at the beginning before the game launches it connects to the server and verifies files, and automatically downloads newest patch and ect.. you need this or forever be hacked..

Then why do I keep finding american flag masks everywhere? and all the items i find have english text on them

was just thinking this.. I understand that masks should be in the game, but how about something more realistic to environment. sure the payday masks look cool, because thats all you can currently see, but if i created a mask I could make it look alot better, why include the "payday ones?"

..... so i'm walking around this old farm house in eastern Europe, all the signs are in another language yet, the descriptions of items are in english, and then I find this american flag mask? where am i again?

I think all of the weapons from the Hunger Games should be included..

It's very disappointing and quite a shame to see such simple decisions like this overlooked. I understand rocket might be in a serious relationship with one of the pay day developers, but we all don't really need to know about it.

Hire the team at BeamNG to start creating vehicles for dayz. Then purchase some of the other Havok products to upgrade the physics in the game. http://www.havok.com/products Loot and Spawning of Items Instead of randomly spawning individual items all over the map, Create objects that can be searched, such as cupboards, trashcans, bins, dumpsters, lockers, crates, boxes, weapon lockers, tool kits, and have items randomly spawned inside of "said containers" based on the area found and type of container being searched That way instead of starting a server with all items already spawned in, "bullets on the floor, that nobody can see, thousands of rotten kiwi on every kitchen floor, the items do not "appear" until the "crate is searched". This will eliminate the whole "loot" problem, of things floating and such, and objects in grocery store and lockers can now instead be searched to have a mathematical chance of finding items relative to location. There is some serious talent out there that can be had to help you improve dayz, and now that you've made some money perhaps you should start hiring them.

TO SUM IT UP: HAVE YOU EVER PLAYED THE GAME DEFIANCE by TRION WORLDS? That game engine would be perfectly suited for DAYZ. Please appraoch Trion to make dayz, they have everything it takes to get the game out on PC, Playstation and XBox, with the experience to get "offical" servers that you just auto connect to on startup, just play Defiance and you will see what I am talking about, this is exactly what DAyz Needs. What i would do if i could develop the standalone version of dayz and had the funding, or producer to back up my lead, with money to develop a better dayz with a real development company, If i could, I would choose trion worlds, the creators of defiance to create or use the engine, world, and server architecture, I would recruit some of the skin and model and artists from 4A Games the creators of metro 2033, and get some of the rockstar games Grand Theft Auto, guys that designed and worked on vehicles, and 3rd person cameras and animations. I would choose very experienced people to help with this game, and not be so concerned about turning the 200k profit. Finally as project lead I wouldn't be off climbing mount everest, but i would invest my own time, sweat, blood, into this game, actually working on this game, and let the game market itself. Instead of attending countless in my old tshirt and jeans taking interviews or meetings, talking about a game that doesn't even exhists yet, because a mod is not a game, it is just a mod. Finally I wouldn't release crap youtube development blog videos that look like a 4 year old put them together and then include a my "self humored, dialog and inserts" its not funny, it just looks ammature, okay or immature or maybe both. I wouldn't hire 14 year old children to work on my development team, and finally I wouldn't hire the people who made the mod to make the game, because they couldn't even get a polished mod so how will they ever get a polished game. I would put my money and effort to push the game to a developer that has many games on their belt, so we can get this launched to all platforms, and I would put my time into developing the game instead of playing, space station 3d, or whatever the hell it is I talk about at pax. No i do not want your beans. Arma engine is not the proper engine for this game, we need to break this tie, thanks arma you gave us a platform to develop and idea, but now we need to go to other development companys the big ones, preferably mentioned above, who have a good team and can bang this out instead of working with the 2-5 guys that have full time jobs and dayz isnt one of them. Defiance by trion worlds is a very good example of how the server architecture should be handled and I even feel the world and design is more properly suited for the type of game that dayz wants to be. As I am watching Dayz develop, I am thinking okay, no wonder they are worried, how can the game be a sucess when rocket, is the project lead, its just not suited for him, no offense, but give the game to someone who can develop, like actually develop it, like If i could peek in on you right now with a pair of all seeing eyes what are you even doing right now,, oh well thats right, not working on dayz.. Everytime I play the dayz mod, I gave it a go because I heard all those youtube videos and articles talking about a great, game that I couldn't find, but i could see its potential, but hey thats okay, it just needs a little push in the right directions, lets start with minecraft, it has flaws, in one thing, where are the servers!!! I want to be able to play minecraft in a server that is on 24/7 and join in a world with 1000s of other players all doing their thing in one server, and I can play with them, but that takes some real smarts to get in place, minecraft has a good idea and it was sucessful but it could have been so much more, with the proper brains behind it and the server arcitecture. These things are very important, and these things cannot be left out, do not make the same mistakes that I as an xbox player watch many developers make, they make a multiplayer game, with no server support, and expect the gamers to take care of the servers, play the game defiance, I beg you, I know you like playing games, and study their servers, heck even hire their engineers, and the people behind the structure of the game, and please next time you go to an interview or pax release, don't wear a t-shirt and jeans, wear a suit and tie, or at least a suit jacket over your t-shirt, you look like a slob, it makes the game look ammature, unless you have an awesome game, and you don't care about your apperance because you've already made your fortune, and you have the skills to back it up, then I think maybe then it might not matter, but just reading your blog, and the forums and watching this game develop I loose that faith that hey these guys really don't have what it takes to make a standalone dayz,you say okay we are almost ready, nope never mind not quite there yet, I hope you get it together, Im curious to see if you make it, if you can pull it together and polish some nice shoes and present this thing. When I watch you talk about dayz It reminds me of those people who make promises all the time, and they never keep it, like as if a dream about one day I will give you a loaf of bread, but its just that dream will never feed me. You need to actually get the oven warmed up, make your dough and get that thing baking. Stop talking about the game, and get it made, let the game speak for itself, and let the word of mouth do your advertisment, look at other games developments, they spent the time sitting in their basement making it instead of telling people about it... I hope this gets to you.. anyway.. We all look forward to dayz standalone, but many of us are looking for a real dayz game, one that is released on ps4, the xbox one, xbox 360 arcade, pc, but you gotta start somewhere but it seems like you havent even started the race. GO TO TRION WORLDS AND SAY HEY WE WANT YOU TO MAKE DAYZ, WE WANT YOU TO DEVELOP IT FOR THE XBOX AND FOR PC, AND WE WANT YOU TO TAKE CARE OF EVERYTHING, YOU WILL MAKE MORE MONEY THAN YOU NEED, AND YOU CAN TAKE THAT MONEY AND REDEVELOP IT FOR XBOX ONE, PC, AND PS4. Even if it isn't exactly how you want it, you will make enough money and the game will be out that you can make those changes later on in the "next version" Make a real dayz

is warz anygood? im going to try It? if it had vehicles I think it would like it, maybe if i support them they will create dlc with vehicles.. anyway Im going to try warz and see what I think, I gave dayz a chance... or at least I think i was playing dayz, or an arma 2 mod that is suppose to be dayz but im pretty sure they added things in, I don't really know what dayz is because I don't think it even exists, just a bunch of different games that people call dayz.. oh and then we have dayz origins... lol so which one is dayz? oh the one that doesn't let you self bloodbag, or take tires off of cars, or refuel by pulling up to a gas station, yah I'll pass.

was war inc any good? I just watched a video on it, and i think even the war inc engine would make dayz cooler. maybe I just like that defiance/ war inc style..

I haven't like any game that the developers didn't take care of the servers, it causes to many problems, from admin abuse, "rules" game changes, ect.. ps. I would feel much better if I could see a "Dayz released june 2013" or a preorder now, or a on Xbox arcade, or ps3, or similar like every other game does. Seriously Why can't we pre-order, im sure they could use the money.. at least buy rocket a new shirt to wear to pax. no never mind you said you want him to be real with you bro... why doesn't he just straight up tell you, hey " im a slacker, I dress like a slacker, the game is being developed by slackers, and hey slackers unite tomorrow.. either way.. one day I look forward to playing dayz standalone.. lets hope its in the next 20 years

I feel Dayz would be better suited to be an arcade style survial game, we don't even need realistic bullet drop, when you don't even have realistic animations that look like you are picking something up, I think it would be better as an arcade that it would be as a simulator, if thats what your calling it.. have you played defiance? the point im saying is, Im worried about the servers, behind dayz, Im worried about the lack of professionalism, im worried, that it seems like they have no money backing it up and that they are putting the same amount of time into the game as they are the dev blog, but i guess time will tell.

This was the first mechanics of this type to work on the xbox, of course it had problems but they should win world class awards for their support and constantly improving, its not about the tv show, thats just its marketing, lets just look at the game the server, the engine, and the bare bones. Everytime they had a problem, they fixed it, worked on it, or made slow fixes until it was fixed, I call that world class support,they stand behind their product and get it as close to perfection as the hardware limitations allow. and they did an awesome job at that.

rocket needs to just drop everything and climb down that stupid mountain walk into Trion Worlds slap his ideas book on the counter, and plead with them to make the game from scratch. Without asking him any further questions, just take over the entire project, and give him a % of the profit when its out on xbox and ps and pc.

I wish.. ^

have you ever played the game "Defiance" the whole game world, and even the server, would be much more suitable for dayz. Plus its on xbox and pc and ps4, they have things polished, and a great team that knows how to get a good game out. and they had it working so you can play vs pc vs xbox vs playstation, anyway the point is when you put the game in your xbox you get a connecting to server, there is no "server browser" just play the game and see for yourself, Trion worlds knows how to make make whats needed to get dayz from a slow zombie walk to the leap it needs to move forward" Just play defiance, I think you will see for yourself there is alot that can be learned from that game, and implemented into dayz if i could I would copy paste dayz into the defiance trion worlds engine and it would be near perfection. even the press start, charachter displayed at menu is perfectly suited for dayz.

- I look forward to the standalone, and issues like this debug monitor just removed from the game, it takes away from the "immersion" of the game, - I don't need to know things like the server name, or my fps, or my blood, or how many kills I have, this should be shown in a scoreboard like menu that you can access thru the map menu, or by pressing the "p" key.. either way, I want to remove it, but so far I have not found a solution how to. some say pressing the Insert key works however I have not found that to be the case. TO THOSE WHO CAN READ: after visiting the forums only a few times I have noticed a high level of immaturity and just "stupid" replys that people make, if you do not have anything intellectual to communicate why do you bother posting. If you don't know the answer to a question its proper to just not reply, instead of fill the forums with your foolishness. Its better that you just don't reply, but I shouldn't need to waist another post to tell you this, sadly you will probably just reply with the same ignorance to this as you have every other post.

how do you remove the debug monitor that is in the top right hand of the screen on most servers, its annoying and sometimes overlays on top of my other hud indicators, wish this feature was something that would pop up when using the map or something instead of always on all the time.

dayz needs offical servers, administrated by professional employees, I would pay for that, I would also pay to have this a standalone, and actually become more than a mod, they need to really speed up on whatever is taking so long, or someone else will simply beat them to it, or we will just lose interest..

This past week I have been playing dayz, or at least what I thought was dayz until I joined a different server, and found that everything from the world, to loot spawns, to vehicles, game features, and even buildings were changed missing, added, swapped, or modified in some way or another on one server and not on another. So I was curious what even is dayz? because I haven't found one solid gameplay that is continous on each server, some will have different elements and game settings edited and I found myself liking one feature but disliking another, later to find out the things I like weren't even in the game (DAYZ) to begin with, but was a server specific feature that I could play without even downloading any extra files. How was I to know that wasn't even dayz? So this is a big problem, especially considering I think the community is really curious what version of dayz is actually dayz, and after playing some of these modified versions of dayz, I became less than satisifed when I found out that you couldn't even use a blood bag on yourself in the "real"? version of dayz, or at least you could on some servers but not on others. anyway here is my experience from day 0 to day z. :) My first experience of dayz on the very first day I played, I downloaded dayz commander installed dayz, joined one of the 4000+ servers listed and spawned in next to a beach. I opened my gear to find a flashlight, a bandage, a can of coke, and a can of beans. I started walking down the beach, and heard the sound of gunshots, then some guy yelling my name as blue text appears on the bottom left cornor of the screen, while everyone else started typing in text to shut up and more blue text began to fill the bottom left cornor of my screen. Seconds later, I was at a black screen with a handprint that read. "you are dead" from there I couldn't figure out what to do, i tried pressing restart, and it would just say "you have died" over and over everytime i pressed it, so i closed the game, by pressing control alt delete, and clicked on a new server.. this time I spawned in with a macorov, and 2 magazines, a map, a gps, a knife, a hatchet, 2 bandaids. I wasnt on the beach this time, but in the outsqirts of a city in a forest area. I started walking along, and found a toolbox, then slightly down the road was a car parked outside a gas station, I walked up, and scrolled wheeled the car to try and get in. It said "remove tire" remove fuel tank, repair windscreen, and refuel. I pressed refuel and it said refuel complete. I then scroll wheeled down to get in driver seat and started putting down the road. Hey I recognize this place I thought, but wait all these buildings werent here before,and there is a big military base here. I pulled over and startred searching for loot.. Everything was completely empty. Got back in my car and started driving down the road, this server had a little banner on the top right of the screen that displayed my fps, kills, bandit kills, murders, and then the server ip. I started running over zombies with the car, but my kills didn't increase, I wondered why but kept driving down the road. Oh my Gosh, its another car, I pulled in front of it and got out, walked over to the new car, scroll wheeled and this time it said "Repair tire, gear, tow, and refuel with jerry can" I clicked the tow button, now it said click the object you would like to attach this vehicle to, I clicked my car, and suprisingly the other car, warped behind the car I was driving in, and attached itself... looks a bit weird I thought but that gets the job down. I started driving down the road. My friend joined in and sidechatted me to join his ventrillo channel, I figured since there wasnt radios in the game and I just watched somone get banned for someone using voice in side chat I didn't want to go their route so I joined ventrillo. We met up built a tent, and parked the cars, minutes later we got a notification about a server restart in 1 minute, and then lost connection. I closed the window and rejoined the server, on join I spawned back in standing next and one of the vehicles that was now on fire. I had put my backpack full of items in my tent, that was now empty, and the time of day was strangly different than it was before. Since nobody was on the server anymore after the restart we decided to try a different server in hopes to meet some friendlies. I Chose the next server and my friend joined in, upon join, I was right next to a car missing one wheel, and my friend mentioned that he had found a wheel on another car that looked good down the road, but didnt have a toolbox, I looked in the gear of the car and suprisingly there was a toolbox, I went to meet up with him to get the wheel from the car and we would be on our way, when I got to the car, I scroll wheeled like I had done before and this time It didn't have any of the options to repair or remove parts, just gear, and get in, strange I thougth, so we left the cars and started to walk away, later on a zombie hit me one time, and i became unconcious, my friend had found a machette, but upon trying to swing it, it did nothing, thankfully I wokeup while all the zombies were chasing him and bandaged myself. I scroll wheeled down, and it said "give self bloodbag" This is new i thought, i pressed the button, and it said, cannot while in combat, I stood still a bit, and it still said that, I crawled around, and finally it let me give self bloodbag, after about 10 repetitive anitmations, I was finally able to get blood and join the non black and white world again. sadly, minutes after that we met the end of a enfield, after a guy on a bike pulled up and began shooting. another you are dead screen. well I had enough for today, I thought and logged off.. after doing a bit of reading online, and trying a few different servers, and finally talking to an admin that told me he would give me a loadout if it went to his website and made a donation. and that they had converted devils castle into a base by spawning themselves in items. I decided that the dayz I wanted to play just didn't exhist yet. It didn't have the immersion that I heard about, and it seemed that what I wanted was server specific, I then read a blog post about dayz origins, Im downloading it now and going to give it a go. It sounds promising, and looks alot more like the game I wanted to play. Despite everyone saying in the comments that "they ripped off dayz" Ill make up my own mind. Anyway I hope you enjoyed this read, would love to hear your comments.

Only offical servers, only admin'd by offical staff who's job it is to admin, and who do not play the game as an admin. sick of joining servers with admin telling people where I am, or telling their friends were vehicles are, or spawning in loadouts for themselves or people that give them money, this is not dayz.. the problem for me isn't the hackers its just the servers and the server admin.

there are hundereds of vehicles but they are usally all piled up at the admin camp, or given out to people who donate to the server.
