Don't get me started on the frikkin DAyZ in game map. The most dumbass thing in the game. Not content with one map they had to cut it up into 9 fucking pieces and even then, it's useless to you because, when you come to a town and you don't know where you are, what do you do? You read the town sign to get the name right? OK so without looking at the online map, and assuming you have no clue how to read Cryllic, what is the town below? Гришино No idea how to translate that into English? Well done, you've made a map that for most people is going to be utterly useless. What do you do when you need to find the town name? You alt tab and use a website. Poor, poor game design takes you out of the game to use a 3rd party application for something that could easily be rectified and is stupidity personified. There are no maps made 1/4 the size of Chernarus. OS maps in the UK cover larger areas. Make it one map and change the alphabet either on the map on in world.

Go back and read what I actually wrote rather than making things up. In fact, let me do it for you. Here's what you couldn't be bothered to read making me have to spell it out for you.... Most new, modern cars will run for years without having anything done to them so as long as you keep using them, you'll have power for you phone for years to come. Since GPS is going to be in the game, there is GPS. Got no use for the time, date, calendar and notebook then? Don't want to listen to music or watch old videos of friends and family you took? The one of your Ex where you're doing the dirty? ;)

Except it has to be quicker to just run in there and grab the stuff. You can clear a barracks in a minute but you'll wait a lot longer for a player to show up and you increase the risk of being spotted.

I GET YELLED OUT FOR NOT USING MULTIQUOTE!!!!!

So in a zombie apocalypse you're going to ignore all vehicles and just run around on foot? Nope and chances are, you'll going to pull out a butt load of batteries and other spare parts to store wherever you set up base. Most new, modern cars will run for years without having anything done to them so as long as you keep using them, you'll have power for you phone for years to come.

Except danger doesn't pick a time and if it does, it's more likely to be in daytime than at night time.

No. The point of the post, missed by a lot of people was to randomise the starting gear to low level stuff, the flashlight being one such thing. Presumably you have no issue with the dildo as you didn't mention it - that's rather telling.....

Not as poor as Africa and yet they all cell phones.

Thanks for your valuable contribution to this thread :rolleyes: What would we have done without out it!!! Just look at the awesomeness of it... tl;dr tl;dr tl;dr tl;dr LOOK EVERYONE HE..... tl;dr WOOOT BRAVO OLD BOY WONDERFUL STUFF AMAZING, YES!!!!! \O/

Remember the MOD had GPS and if you want to go down the route of reality then every nuclear power station is in meltdown right now and you're going to die of radiation poisoning.

Sorry but I don't buy that. It's not authentic.

I have a charger in my car and at home. I bet you wouldn't have to smash too many car windows to find one if somehow yours wasn't available :)

No, in reality I would be active during the day when I can see things from far away. I don't know who all these people are that want to sneak around in pitch black in a zombie infested world but they're the ones that will get eaten. Far better to use daylight so you can observe, plan and move. If I have to run, I want to see where I'm stepping too. Plenty of people have gone over cliffs or broken an ankle over uneven terrain.

The problem with real time servers means that when you get home and play, it's always the exact same time. Because most of us will stick to one server when the game starts, this means you'll miss out on the day cycle. One way around this, which I've mentioned a few times before, is to set the cycle to a 7 hour period. It needs to be an odd number to offset it from real time. If it was 8 hours say, you would still be stuck playing the same time each day. 7 hours should ensure a full range of times throughout a weeks worth of playing and I would break it down like this. 5 hours daylight, 15 minutes of twilight either side of night and 1.5 hours of night. This to me seems to fill all requirements. You can play at night (and even plan your night event with friends as you'll be able to work out when it will come around. You could all move to the NWAF say just before sunset, take up positions and then move in after dark). You will experience sunrises and sets and 5 hours of daylight is plenty.

Car. You couldn't think of that yourself? Dude, you're gonna die if a real ZA breaks out. I suggest you play DayZ more to learn how to be a survivor when it happens..... :P

TETRIS! Also, they have inbuilt flashlights ;) Plus the ability to know the time, date, make notes, play music (something that has been essential to human existence for millennia), take pictures, GPS, etc....

I go to sleep as well. In a zombie apocalypse do you think I'm going outside in the dark where I can't see shit with zeds everywhere? In the Walking Dead, they rarely, if at all, go out during the night.

Yeah why is it survivors start with torches? I don't have a torch in my pocket and I don't carry one around.

What's the deal with only 5 zombies chasing you - that needs to be fixed to 50. If these things are like the 28 days later zeds, then they're not sprinting like they're trying to catch a bus. They're sprinting in a way that a crazy person sprints at you when he's full of rage and wants to rip your guts from your stomach.

Tents in chicken coops? Why? I mean which nob on the dev team decided that the best place for tents to spawn would be there. Fuck me, when I get home I'm going to build one so I can store my tent in there too since the garage is obviously a dumb place to put it. After that, I'm going to build me a dog kennel and use that to store my tool boxes. Who needs a fridge, I'm going to hang my food on the washing line and sleeping? Lol in the chimney of course where it's warm.

Someone made a post bragging how they killed someone in the middle of the nwaf who was afk and took their M4 - I wonder if that was you?

LOL oops! :lol:

Which boots does the combat knife go in?

Perhaps it's time to lower the rate of helo's spawning since who the hell is flying these things anyway and don't have them smoking. A year after the outbreak we're still seeing 100 shopper crashes a day? Lower the spawn rate but make them all spawn good gear. I think choppers should come in 3 stages. In the first month after release day, have them smoking. after the next month, have them rusted and some weeds around them. The next month have them pretty well overgrown and leave it like that. If the devs can roll out a changing world around us imagine how cool that would be. How you were there at the start when everything was clean and now, you're just a bitter survivor hacking back vines just to get inside a store.

OK I have a problem. I get hungry in RL when I eat in DayZ and now I'm getting hungry just talking about eating in DayZ - help!
