Nocturnal (DayZ)

Bandit - you're carrying a rifle.

Yes. Too easy to find anything, in fact.

Lol. Fruit sounds far less appealing when you describe it that way.

These type of threads make me lol. Thanks OP.

You got 6 shots on to a player 4ft away who was charging you with an axe? Vid please.

Feel for you man but the staff at BI who do cows and tents aren't the same ones who do engine/player movement type stuff. Been said by the developers many times. You should have waited to get the game later if bugs like this really get to you.

I like PVP in DayZ because its fun. Unless I'm in a firefight, I find the game boring and unchallenging. Basically, the same reason as another game I play with PVP elements. DayZ is special though because of how much that can be lost if you die. High stakes PVP if you will. When the survival mechanics are beefed up and the zombies/environment become a challenge then it will be even better.

People who are upset about lack of progress/bugs at this stage just shouldn't have bought into the game at this stage. Everyone was actively discouraged from buying the game by the developers and no one can blame anyone but themselves if they are upset with the direction and overall pace of development. Bugs/issues shouldn't be ignored, however. But the correct (only) place to properly report these issues is the feedback tracker. The daily rants on this forum and others are just futile - albeit entertaining.

End game Huey.

Should have read the caveat. Standalone early access was not intended for players like you OP.

I never have any problem finding full hardcore servers.

I'll lose faith if it releases as a full release and it's still really buggy and short on features. I honestly feel a lot of people who are upset with the game at this stage should've learnt to read: "If you are not excited to play this game in its current state, then you may want to wait until the game progresses further in development." "It is a work in progress and therefore contains a variety of bugs. We strongly advise you not to buy and play the game at this stage unless you clearly understand what Early Access means and are interested in participating in the ongoing development cycle." Caveat emptor. Vote with your wallets next time ye dumb sheep.

Some real life islands of similar size I would like to see are Guam, Isle of Wight and Malta. Three quite different terrains and climates.

Can't wait for private, white-listed servers - then those of us who want to play decent DayZ can escape this kind of BS.

What you did was fine. It's the pussies who start fights and then leg it when it gets too hot for them who need a slap.

Nice. People were even warned not to buy it.

lol

I feel ya man. Hackers didn't seem a problem after the initial release but now they're here in abundance. I put DayZ down a couple of weeks back and likely wont play again until we have whitelisted private hives; not worth the hassle.

Between the dev blogs, Twitter, YouTube interviews and reddit posts there is tons of information about the games progress.

24 hours!

I'm not sure DayZ is or has ever been about survival. I'm not saying I wouldn't like it to be about survival or that's not what the devs want to make it, but the Standalone and all the versions of the mod of DayZ I've played have always been more PVP than survival. It is what it is. The environment has always been too easy and it's always been too easy to gear up. It's up to the developers to change this. More hunger, more disease, more zombies and less weapons is what's needed. The majority of the player-base wouldn't like this though - just look at the popular versions of the mod and the abundance of servers with thousands of vehicles and epic starting loot. The situation is unfortunate (imo), but it is true.

I don't see a problem at all. Why is it so important to some that others must see DayZ the same way as they do? DayZ is many things to many players. Plus... whitelisted private hives - less dicks, far less hackers.

I remember it well: Spawned on the coast and within about 10 seconds I hear a diesel engine and beeping behind me. I turned around and see a dude in a tractor pulling up next to me, typing in direct for me to get in. Epic. Spent the next 10 minutes getting used to the scroll menu function trying to get in the thing.

See you there my fellow Boomstickers!

It's fundamentally flawed because players don't act realistically in it? Jesus. It's not a controlled social experiment. It's a game. A special game at that. But it is what it is. And most players KoS - for whatever reason. This is DayZ and it has always been DayZ; mod through standalone. We don't need more of these threads, which are essentially just insulting diatribes directed at players with a play-style you don't happen to agree with.
