Alright, "first person only" servers isn't hardcore enough. I want some dedicated servers to be "zero weapon" servers because weapons are OP and exploitive against those of us that want to bare-knuckle box our way through the zombie apocolypse. And then when nobody wants to play on my "zero weapon" servers I demand that all weapons should be removed from DayZ to make it more fair for my 2 friends and I who don't like guns.

Far more than you can imagine, obviously. ;)

Not even close. There are far more 3rd person players than 1st person. They just don't bother going on to the forums. They're too busy enjoying the game..... in 3PV. :D

/facepalm :(

I think we need more 3rd person ONLY servers. In fact let's go even further with that. How about we just remove 1st person view entirely from the game? Imagine how many people would quit if they lost their precious 1st person playstyle? Answer: Less than if you removed 3rd person

If they wanted to be more realistic 1 saline bag shouldn't be enough to give a dying patient full health. Saline should be equal to a blood bag at 20% or so. But and this is a big BUT, you can't refill a person completely with only pure saline. They need real blood if they're that far gone.

Definitely the most interesting thread that's for sure. :D /grabs some popcorn and a soda

Haha that's awesome! Very good analogy. :D

Of course the 1st person servers are already empty. People tend to forget that the vast majority of players don't even bother coming to the forums to discuss the issue. Most of them are very happy playing 3rd person and will not play in 1st person. There's no point in trying to change it. The devs know what players want and unfortunately for a small group of players who come to these forums it's not what they want.

There's a reason there's only 1 first person server left in the mod. Because nobody plays first person except a VERY small minority. If you take out 3rd person from DayZ the game will tank. That simple.

No you can't :(

You need to spend less time looking up computer specs and more time just playing videogames. I mean DAAAMMNN! Seriously?

Happened to me too the other day. Had some pretty decent gear at the NW airfield when I logged out for the night. Came back the next morning to find it still dark in-game so I started hopping servers to find a daytime one. (Yes, I know I'm a pussy that hates playing at night). Next thing you know, I'm back on the beach with nothing but a flashlight. So lame. Maybe if they had Day/Night filters I wouldn't have had to keep hopping. :(

First off I'd just like to say how much I'm enjoying the alpha. The only pet peeve I have right now is not being able to filter which servers are Day or Night in regards to in-game time. Is this something that's being worked on or have I just missed finding the proper filter on the server screen? Any help would be great, thanks! WrecklessMEDIC

I like the OP's version of the trail map better personally.

Just saying some people prefer to play in 3rd person. If you remove that option then you change the game completely and a large chunk of players will leave.It's the exact same thing if you removed 1st person. Guaranteed a lot players would quit if you took away 1st person as well. Having options is what makes good games really great.

If they removed 3rd person I would stop playing. Pretty sure I'm not the only one.

Thanks, I tried that for the first few weeks. Although scary as hell, I eventually got sick of dying of starvation because I couldn't find anything with that crappy flashlight....lol. :)

I know exactly what you mean. In the mod there are waaay more zombies and it's brutally annoying. They're more of a nuisance than anything. I think they need to increase the number of zombies in the standalone but they also definitely need to decrease their sensitivity radius. It's ridiculous how far away they can spot you.

Sorry, I just prefer the daytime gameplay. Don't get me wrong running face first into trees in the middle of the night without any light is awesome too. If that makes me a "carebear" that's fine but I'd still like a filter if it's possible.

OMGZ! What's that? Fraggle confirms devblogs are finished? Standalone releasing next week!? Ahhhhh!!! ;)

Boourns to that noise!

I figured as much, but I still keep hearing it being referred to as "DayZ Standalone" by most people (including Rocket himself). Would be nice if they just dropped the Standalone. :)

Hey Dean, Are we going to keep calling this "DayZ Standalone" forever or are you planning on naming it simply "DayZ"? Personally I tend to refer to the old version as "DayZ Mod".

Don't tease us! :(
