This existed far before the persistence was even in I believe,but when servers started to have persistence it did start to happen like 500% more lol ... It seems that before persistence there was one or 2 servers that needed to be reset because they were stuck or "broken" now it seems many are like that and im with hoth on this one I think some people don't care about their servers and when they get stuck in this state they don't check them to get them fixed . But as for experimental it makes no sense because those are hosted (i think) by Bohemia or the dayz devs or something .. Maybe the devs don't even check the experimental servers but that seems far fetched ?

Yes yes yes ! But it has to be better than the countless prisons in the mods , every mod seemed to have a different prison but the only one I was impressed by was the Dayz Aftermath mod prison at kabanino (there was even a hemp and weed farm at this prison) .. Aftermath - the only mod to get anywhere close to the awesome survival feel that dayz standalone has achieved .. I miss dayz aftermath :,( .

I really like this idea ! It totally enables books to be useful and not just for fires !! We don't need people starting off with books though , they are everywhere and in my opinion there should be less "Dracula" and "old testaments" around and be filled in with these helpful survival guides .. Actually keep Dracula I sometimes carry that around for good luck ;) .

Wow . I really like all of your ideas . Begin jealousy and mad bean giving .

Relax yall , the Desync and lag will slowly be worked out all the way through alpha and beta so let's get used to that as it is not as bad when you have a good internet connection and decent rig . The ragdoll causes bodies to slide down slopes (which will be fixed) and the body time limit thing will turn into bodies decaying (seeing as how the last few dev blogs have talked about the "life time" of items , id assume this would mean bodies/containers too eventually) , or in the least have a much longer despawn time like 45 mins .

I've only had wooden arrows made from a guy down the street who gives them out for free. my long bow after a full draw , can definitely break those bitches on impact , and the tips seem to be made out of some kind of tin or something (weird old man ) but out of my short bow, if I'm hitting a soft target the arrow usually always stays straight and unbroken .. I definitely believe that wooden arrows work but like others said there could be a risk ... But hell me and my cousin doused one of the arrows in gasoline and wrapped a small gasoline rag around it and lit her up , shooting it is scary and it was a bit weighed down at the tip but it burned the target a little before we put it out , so maybe if the wooden arrows are able to be broken easily in the game , we could add fire and poison to them to make them worth while (and more realistic so there's no super wooden arrows) as the improvised bow almost looks long enough to be a long bow so technically they would break if we had just widdled it out of a small thin stick :0

Were you at pax prime ? Otherwise I don't know how you got on there :/ . But the build was supposedly "super secret" they didn't let anyone record the build show off at the convention so it has to be something big / new ... But they did say they were recording it instead of streaming it so my guess is when .49 hits stable they will release it (the video of pax prime ) .. Or maybe well never see It and just forget it ever happened lol .

Honestly after this aks74u I really hope we move onto some other weapons , I get the whole "true to the area vibe" but I don't wanna see more than 3 identical weapons (identical to the common eye) especially if they are going to make them use all the same ammo just for loot tables sake .. Id rather be seeing variants of 5.45/5.56 weapons as there are so many that don't look exactly alike .. One weapon I would love to see is fn-fal my favorite carbine of all time :) no optics or anything just bare iron sight one shot ftw.

Me and a friend tried during patch .44 , that's when walkie talkies would show the frequency in the bottom (where direct communication is , you could switch between direct and a couple of frequencies) we both had one , were both on the same channel one inside the fire station tower one outside the perimeter of the fire station in an apartment (far enough away to not hear each other speak Ingame just in case ) and we could not hear a thing .. Maybe they have been secretly reworked but as far as I know they do not work .

Armor and clothing is still very much a work in progress , no reason to believe that they are done with it just because it hasn't had love in a while ! But I regularly kill "fully kitted" people , the best way to do it is to go for the legs , a moisin shot usually always breaks their legs in one shot (aim for crotch no joke it will break one of their legs and it's a bigger target then the legs also the pants have the least protection by far ) and when they fall reposition yourself to confuse them (if you play first person , as their face will be shoved in the grass or floor ) and shoot em once more . Although im looking forward to having some real armor values , i.e Ballistic helmets protecting only against small calibre rifles/pistols , and when Kevlar comes in (real Kevlar vests ) they could protect against pistols and long range rifles that aren't too high powered . Edit : also there is a damage value called "shock" that adds into your overall damage when attacked , I believe they are going to expound on this and make it more complex so that if you recieve too much shock in one hit (like from a high powered moisin ) you will stutter, like dropping to your knees or falling on your butt (or go unconcious easier if they don't add some sort of stuttering system , although I believe it was planned some time ago ).

I've been experiencing a lot of weird deaths lately .. Mostly your situation , where you know exactly where your enemy is and you know you're covered by all angles but somehow you die .. This happened twice to me today and my explanation isn't hackers but the worst Desync we've seen since .45 patch came out with all the rubber banding. I say this because today I logged into the novo tower and while it was still doing that 20 seconds of lag thing when you log in , I could see through all the walls and floor as if the tower wasn't even there (it was just my graphics loading in slowly I guess ) but I instantly see a man on the other side of the wall coming towards the door frame of the stairwell (because I could see through the wall for a second because of aforementioned graphic weirdness) and I shoot once towards the door frame to try and slow him down while I run down the stair case , after I shoot I lagged for a decent 3 seconds and heard nothing , no gun shots and then I was dead . So my guess is ping and Desync ( he could have leaned over out from cover for a second and shot you , Desync made it so you didn't receive the sounds of the gunshot or see him the instant he came out ?

Lol I like this idea ! I usually just smoke while im waiting for the rain Ingame to end (lolzskis) but next time I'll come to this thread lol .

Sorry double post :/

This ^^ the only thing that "suffers" is the dev blog being pushed back a couple days , not too bad at all in my opinion, as the game is still being worked on and I'm still enjoying experimental .

Although some regard them too Highly , I don't care if we don't have a status report for a few days I just enjoy the game . But everyone is different and dayz speaks to a large community ! :0

Hmmm ... 45 posts and nothing but bullshit in each one of them ... Are you 12 ? Cuz you whine as if you wanted attention . But on a brighter note , it is secret and like Irish said no vids were allowed.. I've heard people say that vehicles were In the build (false I'm sure ) and others have simply said that the new renderer was to be the focus of the pax build .. I dunno well just wait to see I suppose :0 !

Dust 514 is a crappy pay to win game that's not actually open world and that game was a disappointment from the beginning because they wanted to be money grubbers and develop a crap game. you can't compare it to dayz or say that just because dayz is finally getting a chance to be on console (which was planned since last year when It came out in December ) that it's gonna fail, considering dayz didn't start off on console . it wasnt dulled down to begin with and it won't be dulled down for the console simply because we all know the devs of dayz are adamant of keeping a complex incredibly detailed game . it's sad that many are so paranoid simply because of dozens of other companies failed to make a good game or a good online game format like dust 514 ... Get real people we know you're all trying to connect apples with oranges so you can vent your frustration of how you can't kill the glitchy zombies , but every company is different and the roads they choose have nothing to do with failing companies that tried to make a big buck to begin with instead of making it for the passion of the game . Remember were not talking about sony taking over the development of dayz , they are just the publishers , so to speak , of the console version , but that still doesn't mean they get ultimate say on what's going into the console version ... Dean and his team have enough leverage ,because dayz is so popular , if Sony tries to yank them around and dull the game down it won't happen because they can pull out whenever they damn well please .. And if a contract is struck stating that they can't then there will be terms on the contract (I'm sure since rocket isn't business retarded) stating that the new publishers (Sony ) can't have much say over the development . Its not sonys decision for the most part and people are seeing the jump to consoles as some "sellout move to get more money after stealing money from the PC fan base" but that's not right after all we all knew that dayz was going to console from the very beginning (December 2013) as long as it made enough sales so why is everyone so butthurt now that it's confirmed ? Why , because you're so sure that they will just stop working on the PC version ? Lol I don't think so . In my opinion were so close to seeing all the major features implemented that everyone has wanted (zombies clipping / navmesh totally done , barricades added, building system , more complex Eco system and temperature system , persistence ,) seeing as the engine crap was what held everything back , so if we have just 2-3 months more patience we will have all the features that the big complainers complain about .. And for those who say "well the game is still broken while they bla bla bla bla" remember it is still alpha and don't give me that "stop spewing alpha for everything " because this is THE reason why it's called ALPHA and NOT normally sold to the public , but of course the public pleaded for the standalone to be released in alpha as opposed to beta so THIS is what you get , an awesome chance to see the development progress , which were almost through the first alpha stage of , but for the ones with NO virtue of patience and for the ones that don't understand that consoles aren't the ones that destroy the game , but the game developers company itself , well all I have to say is just wait and see because im going to be loving every minute of dayz alpha on PC until the day the console version comes out , then I will play that version an additional 800+ hours and love every second of that , but if you guys wanna abandon a great project simply because of your delusional paranoia and apples and oranges , go ahead there will be more loot for me ;) . Note: also the console version isn't supposed to be out for more than a year and a half , plenty of time to hire more staff , finish with alpha on the pc as we only have 3 more months (at least but shouldn't be anymore according to the road map , as long as they don't get dragged down by another engine issue ) .

Yes I'm really overall looking for the survival feel to be complete , as others have said hunting to be more robust with more animals and I can't wait to be able to make our own structures and barricade existing structures ... We could make deer blinds and attach them to trees or even up in trees later on , and go into a city and barricade up our favorite buildings ;) really excited for when barricades come .

That's not true ! I met a person at the balota airfield the other day on a full server it just takes two like souls (friendlies) to come together at the same time , the hard part is truly trusting the person ... Many kill within the first fifteen minutes of meeting someone else , if they are with another the usually kill on sight or wait til the very end of 15 minutes to build suspense within each other so the kill is greater which sucks cuz you truly believe you just found two friendlies until you get tortured by them lol .. But to the Original poster : don't lose your friendly ways ! We need more friendlies like you to help survive in this game , just never lose sight of what's really important to most , your gear :P and never give a friendly a gun or ammo until they've defended you with a weapon against another (as that usually shows trust towards you) .

Holy shjte! Did you do this in game ? Cuz id say it does look like a poisoning system , maybe disinfectant is the only liquid that isn't edible right now so it let's you apply it as though it was a poison ? That's my guess and my hopes :) i want poison arrows .

That's so weird, Cuz a friend I met in experimental a couple days ago he had told me that fire does indeed hurt you . So I stepped into the fire literally into it (only for 3 seconds or so ) and didn't receive any messages ... But this is an awesome thing and another reason why I love how they don't put down experimental patch notes , now only those that care to experiment in experimental will find out the real fun secrets :) .. I'm gonna burn captured bandits today while my girlfriend nags over direct speak to them .. If the burning doesn't kill them we all know what will ;) sorry ladies .

Hmmm I've never found the 10 or 5 rnd mags but I've found the 30 many times and I must agree wth you , besides the sks the sporter is my absolute favorite . Put that bitch down on a table and spray paint her black after finding a 30 round clip , go out and people think your some kind of bitch carrying that thing , but when they see the "you are dead " screen after making fun of you they rethink their next insult to a guy with a sporter lol !

Lol I love the last one "rotten zucchini actual cause for zombie apocalypse " classic lol..

Hmmm ... Desync maybe ? I've seen people slide around on account of heavy Desync , but besides that vids or it didn't happen :) . I would love for them to implement dragging soon , it was glitchy and weird looking in the mod but im sure standalone would make it look better :0 !

I'm pretty sure item decay is definitely planned ... I could have sworn reading about it in a recent dev blog or something (maybe I'm crazy ;) ) . And for question one, I'm with minion on this one I would hate for them to divulge the entire list before we even get halfway to 1.0 , it encourages people to bitch about things like said above a lot more .... But then again if the 1.0 list is complete crap in most peoples opinion, it might be good to release early so the bitching ends by the time it's actually up to 1.0 lol .. Buut I have faith in the devs that the list will be bomb so let's save it for secret .
