casedistorted (DayZ)

Been alive for 210 days. I wasn't online much during the 1.7 patch days since the duping kind of ruined the game for me and so did not being able to place Tents anywhere useful. So began gaming hardcore again once 1.8 fixed everything, but still going strong, it's not hard to survive for a long time and not die if you're geared up the arse and don't travel to the major cities and stay cautious.

The patch was not good. I get FPS issues all the time and I am not a fan of the way they have taken zombies. I like that they are more of a challenge but the fact that they can infect you all the time while making antibiotics even more rare than they were before is just a pain in the ass and annoyance. I understand that they have talent and spend alot of time into a Mod that they don't have to but they shouldn't have released this patch at all period. It was a bad patch and it was trying to take the game in a cool direction which I understand but it just made the game buggier while ruining things like tent placement and everything else (though I understand they are attempting to fix this). I have died and lost so much of my things due to just logging in and being respawned for no reason more these past few weeks than any other time while playing DayZ.

I liked placing tents in water it made it like a secret stash and rewarded experienced players. Other players could find them if they knew where to look, now it just makes my underwater tents that were placed pre 1.7.7 that much more valuable. I hate this patch I can't place tents anywhere that aren't in the open and obvious, that's the point of having a stash so it's hidden and not obvious to the passing player. This patch is horrid I hate it.

I agree, being able to place a tent underwater or someplace where it was only 1/4 visible rewarded players who were experienced and wanted to have some gear that was going to be safe (even in those kinds of places they were never 100 percent safe). This just makes it frusterating and makes you hold onto your tents you have placed pre 1.7.7 even more. I think this patch is very frusterating and it has added some good elements, but overall it has really ruined the feel of DayZ and has made me want to just stop playing :/

Maybe the point is they shouldn't be releasing patches to a game that was great to begin with. This patch has just made the game less fun than it used to be. It adds some small things that are better but ends up taking out things people liked, like more than 2 heli crash's per restart (the infected survivor camps are worthless and harder to find than the heli crash's), maybe leaving one 50 cal in like the m107 (since it has massive recoil and a loud gunshot) while taking out the overpowered as50, making it so zombies are more challenging but don't infect you ridiculously easy, or if they do at least make it so hospitals continue to spawn what they did pre patch instead of spawning mostly trash (it's just no fun looking for loot in this game at all anymore considering the amount of items that just don't spawn, not even trash half the time. Some people just don't even bother checking heli crash's anymore because there's nothing worthwhile to find at them). It's just the idea of forcing a patch on players that don't want it in the first place, I loved this game before 1.7.7 and 1.7.7.1 came out and since it has I've barely played since it hit. Of course now my tents full of items are disappearing due to non-use but that's my own fault and that's fine but if I want to get back into the game it shouldn't take all of my time and resources irl to find something worthwhile. It's no longer a game about survival, it's a game based on pure luck. Luck on whether you're going to die from getting infected the next time a zombie hits you randomly while you get stuck trying to exit a building because somehow they are able to run through walls still even though the patch was supposed to fix this, etc. It's possible I'm just a little bitter considering this patch is the reason why my character that had everything good you could want simply disappeared without a trace and I'm simply hoping standalone comes out soon so that I can say goodbye to this mod and never look back since it's being taken in a direction I just don't find fun at all. Standalone might not be a whole lot better, but at least it won't feel like we're being force fed a patch that changes the entire scope of the game when that's something most of the people playing DayZ didn't want in the first place. That's my random rant in the middle of a random thread that could probably have it's own thread but whatevs.

I blame the addon and all the zombies. When I'm in cities before zombies spawn, I get decent framerate after all of the tweaks and optimising I've had to do and learn over the months just to get this damn game to work on my 3.0 ghz dual core 4gb's of RAM PC with ATI Radeon 4650 HD 1gb video card. If they just made it so zombies weren't the cause of all my framerate issues (not sure how they would do it) then I would have an awesome game.

What about northeast Berezino...? There are 3 residential apartments and a bunch of smaller buildings with an office just south of the residential apartments..

This place is at about 128, 052 in NorthEast Berezino. How do I know this? Because I come here often to refuel and look around for industrial items along the coast. Never considered it for finding ghillie suits but I might now. There are 3 good residential buildings, a bunch of smaller buildings and just south of the location is a high yield Office building. Also I very rarely see anybody around here so I'm pretty sure this is what he is talking about since northwest of this area is the edge of a forest. Also.. what graphical glitches is this man talking about? Maybe there were about a year ago when this post was made but I don't think there are anymore, unless he's just talking about the horrible design of DayZ in general and how everytime I enter a city I get 5-10 FPS..
