nice, got my vote.

the ww2 relics are cool, but there aren't THAT many lying around. People take things like pistols and/or a service rifle home after a war, a full blown smg is a little- eeeehhhh.

does anyone know if they've added the bandanna as mask? That's the one i'm really waiting for.

lol ok, so I'm thinking I'm completely wrong. Alot of people don't really have much to do, and i reckon the end goal is to have player populations dispersed between the north and the south cities, so that's not gonna matter in the end,it'll sort itself out as the game progresses - players will need to not die to make it to the most interesting shit. That's what i see happening so -- Auto run +1, we all know everyone who just afk'd to electro would get gunned down immediately.

probably not, but as long as there are 24-7 day servers he's not going to need to worry, because 90% of people are gonna be playing those. there shouldn't be 24-7 anything as far as i'm concerned, lock server time to local, watch everyone shit bricks.

I hope they make it so you CANNOT go back to your body and loot it.

I'm just gonna say, as far as "my finger hurts" goes, that's your problem. if you're playing to the point of your finger hurting, get a keyboard that doesn't strain your finger so, or take a rest. It's just sensible, computers are a known cause of RSI, so.... anyway Frankly, I think it'd just be used by freshspawns to make the run down to electro easier, and at all costs that's something that should be avoided. The way it's gonna work currently is, they'll get bored of the game because the 30 minute run isn't worth the 10 minutes of deathmatch, or they'll learn to play the game as something other than an fps. I reckon autorun would just be abused by people who don't understand the game, and while you can say "let them", i say - "no, no thankyou". How people play the game affects how everyone else plays the game. It's a sad fact, but it's still a fact. Look I'll humour you, it IS an alpha so if you guys insist, and the Devs agree then sure, but if it was gonna be added, it'd have to have a clear downside. So, how about autowalk instead of run? if your poor little fingy wingy needs a rest you can turn that on and go very slowly. But honestly, I don't see why you can't just man up and deal with it.

can we make this a sticky? i'm sick to death of vehicle whinge threads.

frankly, for alot of people, i think that'd be a better solution than trying to make the game interesting for them. Personally i hope they make 24-7 day a thing of the past, it's a complete wank, makes some of the gear useless and sucks up all the players so that I can't find a full local server with anything but 24-7 day. I don't care what you want, i care about what Dayz is meant to be, and at the moment, they are two different things.

"WWWWWWWWWWWAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH" You mean it's annoying to have to run 15 minutes before you get to the electro deathmatch, where you die after 10 minutes and then have to start again? Good, it's meant to be that way. If you wanna play CoD, go play it, noone is stopping you. But if you wanna play dayz, and have a good time, then you're gonna have to change your playstyle. Too bad.

i'd rather military style ponchos than ghillie suits, that's a pretty cool idea/ keeps you camouflagued/dry. ghillies for sillies.

Good on you for checking before you buy the game! A lot of parents don't seem to have any clue what their kids are doing, and it results in some of the posts you see in this thread. If i were you i'd watch some videos on youtube, it won't be available in single player. So i might as well point out that online games are a lot like the real world, but with no social etiquette, so you'll meet alot of different people, sometimes they'll be nice and other times you'll meet people who are complete pricks. If your kid can't handle someone being rude/mean to them, in a sensible manner, then it's probably be better not to get them this game. Kids who don't get that a complete strangers opinion doesn't matter to them seem to turn into the worst screaming wrecks around. so basically - if he doesn't get the core concept of "life isn't fair", then maybe wait a bit before online games.

while you're there, could you ask about the PU scope aswell?

No, you're wrong. They ARE going to add bicycles, as everyone has said, multiple times, what you aren't understanding is that they aren't going to be everywhere. They aren't going to make your repetitive electro run ANY quicker. So, if you don't have time to play the game, why are you playing it?

I spend a fair amount of time gathering my chars gear, so even when I'm lone wolfing I do my best to not die. If that's being too serious, then you can call me too serious. but idk, i think if i took it any less seriously i'd probably have to spend all my time running to electro. Which I don't like, so...yeah. Derping around is fine if that's what you wanna do, but I've got other games where it's less of a hassle to do so, so I don't really bother in Dayz.

I would, but I already understand that concept. Fact is, OP has posted a thread asking for his trip down to electro to be sped up almost every week, and each one has been shot down with varying levels of politeness and rudeness. it's gone past the point of misguided, and has simply become obstinate repetition.

Because it's more fun. Firefights are way more intense when you've got 5+ hours of your life on the line, you actually feel some raw fucking emotion, be it euphoria or rage, it's still more than BF4 or CoD offer. This game can be a heart attack, hopping turns it into a hiccup. I don't think I could put it more simply than that.

Bikes won't be spawning everywhere, the rest of your suggestions are pretty crap. So as I've said in all of your other shite whinge threads, get over it, or go play something else. Simple as that really.

what if you just shut up?

guise OP is probably a troll, noone with an IQ of 15 or more could fail to recognize that permadeath is one of the core features of Dayz. and OP if in fact you did fail to recognize that, good news! you might be eligible for a mental disability pension. For everyone else, can we stop overreacting? Dean isn't stupid, he's got his own idea of the game he want's to make, some suggestions are going to enhance that game, others are going to fuck it up, i think we can trust that dumb shit like this isn't going to be taken very seriously.

polana is the new berenzino. R.I.P Berenzino, you were a cruel mistress at the worst of times.

basically how i feel on the subject.

the zombies at the moment are place holder, not the finished product, at all. kong, I hope if the dev team aren't already planning on it, that they give your idea some thought. that being said, we haven't really got much idea of what the team has in store, but they have two options as far as i can tell - Slow shambling zombies in huge numbers (unlikely, would probably kill the server and everyones fps), or fewer more lethal individual zombies. But for the moment, i'm content to wait and see what the devs have in mind before i call bullshit on their zombies.

Ok, so first thing you need to do is find out where you are, http://dayzdb.com/map/chernarusplus when you spawn you're most likely going to be on the east coast, so a good strategy for a beginner is to run down the road with the sea on your left. You will find someone, or something. Backpacks spawn in construction sites, supermarkets, and the smallest backpacks spawn in houses but mostly they're pretty rare. There are plenty of full servers in my region, so i can't understand why you can't find one, check your filters and make sure you're clicking "players" at the top of the server list, it should fill up with 40/40 servers. The map is huge so getting from town to town does take a while, especially if you don't know where you're going. Remember that this is an alpha, so zombies aren't going to be the most interesting adversaries for the time being, but good luck and let us know if you change your mind.

No thanks, it just sounds like people want the game to do the running for them. It will simply become, point compass, turn on autorun, "you will arrive at your destination in approximately 20 minutes". It doesn't necessarily mean people are going to be going afk, but it does mean they're not going to be concentrating much on the game, hence immersion reducing. at the moment i get lost or end up in unexpected places a lot of the time, because i'm actually choosing the path as it comes. That's good, it feels like i'm actually navigating. I don't really understand the "zomg my finger hurts" argument, that sounds like RSI, so take a break......I don't have any such issues when playing, and i sometimes play for hours at a time, although 12 years of piano might have given me super fingers. Well i agree with that statement, but from a different perspective.
