I myself am a right handed man. But there are people left handed too, but at the game everyone is right handed. Should there be the possibility to be left handed? I don't know, what do you guys think about it? Discuss.

Players should have a chance to spawn left handed or right handed just like blood groups. Lefty versions of weapons should be introduced to the game and spawn as well. It would be cool if this was possible, real survivors out there will really try to survive as a lefty, I mean yeah people will suicide but trust me some won't, for the challenge and also the real lefties won't suicide for a righty char.

I'm not going to say this is Alpha and there will be new features added and the bugs will be fixed at Beta stage. We probably heard this thousands of times since we bought DayZ. Today I want to point something else. I've seen a lot of people complaining about bugs and sort of errors, mistakes. I've been thinking of posting a topic like this for 2 months but I just backed off for some reason. Now I'm here and I want to point a few things. I've an experience of 3 years developing, so I kind of understand the things going on from the developer's eye. Bugs are really frusturating at this game we all agree on that. However It's a human doing the coding / programming part so human error is always something that happens. I want to point out why do bugs happen at a game, plus bugs don't happen at only alpha games. I will go with an example from CS:GO, to keep it short there was a bug that caused a player to spawn wherever they want at a match. (Apart from spawning at their own spawn point) so after a round ended they would spawn where ever they want, for example, behind the spawn point of the enemy team and kill them all. So wait what, CS:GO? Wow a game that thousands of people play daily and a game that is like guarded by steam and valve all day, right? So how did this happen? Well my friends, first of all a game is not developed by a single person, it is developed by several people which we call a "team" and this team is responsible of taking care different parts. For example for a friction of time let's imagine the development team decided to add a dragon to the game (just giving an example here) They make a meeting or some sort of brainstorming unification and decide who will do which part. Most of the times there's a person whose specialized with their own profession. For example the animator will take care of the animations of the dragon, another guy will do the modeling, skeleton parts. And it goes on. What do programmers do? They do their part of coding. Code what, you're going to ask. They will make that dragon fly, they will code physics for it (if it doesn't exist yet). So I gave an example of a dragon since it doesn't exist at the game at all. So the two programmers decide between who will do which part. For example, you need to code the flying module for the dragon,one of the programmers takes care of it. So what's the programmer going to do now? He has to code the parts for movement. How can a dragon fly? Hmm, let's think. He can go forward, backwards, left-right. It could rotateç What does the other programmer do? Throwing an example here, his job is to do the collision parts. Let's say, a dragon is not supposed to fly through objects, right? So he has to include the dragon to the collisions module. However the team decided that the dragon should break the trees when they collide with a dragon. That's a new feature. So they make trees breakable by dragons by editing that part of the code or adding a new callback for it. When the dragon is briefly done they add it to get it tested. It's added, players test this dragon and they found a bug. Throwing a random bug, what the team intended to do was the Dragon can swim but it can't dive. However, the programming did a mistake with the code / forgot to add something. Players figure out that when a dragon touches the water, nearby players crash to their desktop. Programming team gets aware of it and they see what the cause is. Apparently the guy who was taking care of the collision module forgot to add the splash animation when the dragon lands on a sea? So the effect doesn't exist and the player crashes. (Just an example, I don't know how does DayZ's engine react when effects that don't exist are used or even if there are internal checks for non-existing files) Anyway so that's how the bugs happen. Another example, I'm going to throw a very good example here, DayZ is a game that a lot of features are revamped / improved or completely re-made in the last few months. While removing legacy code, sometimes people forget to remove parts. This happens, at the end the people who code are human. So sometimes these cause gamebreaking bugs or it just causes some legacy game features to still be ingame by broken / not working. And sometimes bugs occur because of distractions or forgetting to write a single line of code that would set a variable or something. Because while coding programmers are supposed to think of each possibility. Ah, here you go, one good example. People know that if you enter a V3S while double carrying the weapon falls on the floor. I mean is this realistic? Meh, not at all. Why does it fall when I can put it on the chair or to my right? Well technically the code that would do that doesn't exist. Probably the development team just thought they'll add it later or skipped / forgot it completely. Anyway this is a quite obvious example, I don't think anyone would forget that, but you can imagine how the things work now a bit more. So that's how bugs occur. Oh and another point I want to make, when coding / programming people think that there is something that shows possible bugs beforehand. No, there's not such thing. The code can not simulate the possibilities and find conflicts. Those errors that occur while programming are errors that are directly connected with the programming language itself. Sometimes errors can occur because you forgot a simple "" or ; or , or a dot. or just wrote "new" as "ew" or anything like that. That's another thing I wanted to clarify. Summing all this up, while coding programmers are supposed to take care of a lot of possibilities which may not be possible always, I mean trust me, before it comes to you, the programmers already put a lot of effort and make sure there are less bugs, but there are so many variations / possibilities, they can't think of all of them. And bugs can happen at any game, because It's simply a human coding it, not a computer. TL;DR. No TLDR.

I agree fully. Playing on low settings should not be a handicap for those who use higher settings. Which in other words is like self-handicapping.

It's just big boys messing around.

last time I remember spraypaint could explode when its in a fire but nvm, that was removed oh?

In real life, you can't find water everywhere though.

I think the compass was bugged, maybe it still is?

It is better if he just bumps it instead of posting a new one.

Nothing keeps me away from opening a skype call on my phone and talking there. Or my second computer Or my tablet Or my walkie talkie (lol) Yeah, It's annoying, but It can't be done.

If it doesn't communicate, it is not friendly.

There has been times that I've seen this cute fella more than I see a player. But this was back in April

I have a really good method to test if a player is really friendly or not in 30 seconds or even less, but I don't want to share this, because then more people are going to know and those who aren't really friendly will actually know the trick and act accordingly. But I can give you one advise, people who yell they are friendly are the ones I keep my guard on, if they yell, that means they're actually stressed. I never say I'm friendly unless I am directly asked if I am or not, I say hi, I ACT friendly. I BE friendly. I actually got a post similiar to this, gonna quote that if I can find it. Here you go: http://forums.dayzgame.com/index.php?/topic/224404-problem-with-saying-friendly/?p=2256211

Hero? Heh, you're not a hero if you don't think of other's lives before yours. A hero won't kill a bandit, he'll do his best to keep him alive, strip all he has and leave him to the wild. I can't wait for those days at DayZ that we'll be able to move knocked out people to places, put them in to vehicles, throw them to the middle of the ocean or close them to some cage and feed them to bears. Base building pls?

You can't add that you can only do something like add another option saying "all above"

Why is there not a "tick all" option?

Tell me one reason to prove that your clan is not being about a total dickhead to all other DayZ players that aren't in your clan. I've seen so many videos of the U.N clan simply attacking anyone they see. Maybe you play different but your clan is mostly doing that. I've met someone who was a part of your clan and left it, the things he told me are horrific.

Oh hey, you're a part of that clan that shoots everyone on sight. I thought people like you left since the game is no longer a KoS simulator. I'm disappointed. Nice to meet you. OT: The helmets are probably going to spawn whenever the devs set up the loot tables and make them functional. Till then you and your clan has to find some other sort of head wear so you know who to shoot or not to. Or simply you can start being a proper clan and stop shooting people on sight like that? I mean doing KoS is okay, but being a total dickhead isn't and all I see about your clan is that, sorry.

patience for what? if you give a word atleast you keep it you know? they said they "fixed" dupers, alpha yeah, I know, but come on.

dupers are back so I am expecting a bunch of m4s again around. at the last patch we were told that duping has been fixed, apparently not. I uninstalled the game, not going to play again until full release.

10/10 would try again

A very special person from the forums said that he found not one but two at a non-heli spawn. But it was a private hive.

I've seen him on Reddit and wanted to share, Batcar is a streamer with muscular dystrophy and he is enjoying playing DayZ a lot, you can give your support by watching him aswell. His twitch username is "batcar" here's one highlight: http://www.twitch.tv/batcar/b/677880900

Really? World's small. I'm just hoping he succeeds with streaming and possibly gets support directly from the devs. Because Brian is a really kind person. :D
