That definitely looks like something similar to a Coyote pack.

Hopefully once .60 hits things will feel more like Dayz again. Currently atm i cant even stand to play Dayz till things change for the better and those survival mechanics we were promised start to physically make an appearance. Gearing up just does not feel rewarding atm when the opposition to stay alive is so little a problem.

Your a puter!!! XD But in all seriousness though i kind of understand what hes talking about it doesn't help that im catching shit like "kitchen" for no fucking reason whatsoever in my translation of his topic though and other random shit. lol

Russians are a myth like the unicorn. I want to believe they are real.

Better than the stale shit we currently have to work with.

Fuck i wouldn't mind if they added ones that could spit acid, have larger ones that could pick up cars and throw them at you or just simply have military ones with grenades strapped to there bodies when there running at you.

When it first launched this was the case. But have you played it within the last year or two? Its a hell of a lot better than when it first launched. Right up there with 2 in depth and what not.

I remember the fog picture they showed ether last year or the year before that. Im still hopping that that effect is coming!

But also having nothing but psychological horror being the main brunt of the scares can get old fast as well. Its a double edge sword anyway you look at it. I believe a balance between what you want and what i want is whats needed to keep the game fresh. A sort of Yin & Yang if you will.

Not really to an extent its limiting what can be done with games. Granted i don't want anything like pedophilia it would be nice to see kids get ripped apart in games just like adults do in violent video game scenarios. Especially in more urban settings where war is unavoidable and very real. Its grim and ppl more often don't want to think about it but especially in a situation of say an apocalypse no one would be spared from the brutality or in the case of an infection like what happened with Cherno. I have a VERY very hard time taking the games setting seriously especially without mass age variety. I would like to see the beard perk that males will get with there characters be applied to infected as well in some cases.

The games a crock of shit atm in terms of being an actual horror game There is literally nothing scary at this point. Play down jump scares if you want but they have purpose and meaning. I cant really see this game even remotely being based on anything horror related until the system is fully overhauled and we start to see more things that were promised earlier on in development come to fruition. You only get scared of actual players so many times before that shit becomes mundane as fuck. The only way i can see this ever happening is with the inclusion of Bloodsuckers or other mutations that can actually intelligently hunting you down. Unless they decide to allow zombies to climb structures to get to you again. Or become more intelligent in general and never run out of stamina.

You better take that theory further to the end of the year instead of April. Best not to get your hopes up so high right now until solid evidence of progress is physically in our hands.

Im ok with building smaller bases however the woods need a major overhaul visually as foliage is almost none existent from a distance. This is still a big problem for concealing bases.

Yeah but again i bring back to the point of why make a base thats going to take you hours if its going to get torn down and ransacked in less time? The more i think about it the more i just see it as a waste of time. I can handle things being hard but the amount of trolls even on well behaved servers outpaces ppl that want to play the game right.

With how "mature" quite a few players are right now i don't see this happening. The only way ill probably be able to even enjoy this is to have a private locked server because we all know it only takes a few ppl to make this a very rotten experience.

I could give a rats ass about base building until ppl change there ways of playing in game. From a PVP fuck fest to an actual survival game. The only thing bases are going to do at the moment is be another way to grief players. I also don't see the point of building a base ether that your just going to get all your shit stolen from anyways in the next few hours. I can see where Hicks is coming from on every base having a way to get in somehow. But are ppl really going to spend HOURS building something that some fuckface is going to bust into within less time to jack all your shit? The base does not even have to be on an airfield for ppl to find it lol.

But what if there are no bugs to bugger off to? WHAT THAN?!!!! O.o

To me all i really care about is good zombies man. If it doesn't have good zombies than the game just falls flat with me. A Super Mario Survival sim would be hilarious!

Yes with some acrady elements but it does achieve it to a certain degree better than Dayz. Not to mention a much more robust melee system. Actually Dying Lights already achieved what Dayz currently has not and that is threatening infected. My mind will change when and if i see this happening with Dayz. In no way will i think otherwise of Dayz till i actually physically see it with my own eyes while playing.

And this is a bad thing? If you haven't played the game recently i suggest you try it out especially with the new expansion out. Hard and Nightmare mode are no joke there is some crazy survival elements you have to overcome. Shooting a gun is a death sentence especially in Nightmare. The infected in these modes are terrifying and go both with the Romero and 28 Days latter blend to what allot of ppl would like to see in Dayz eventually. Arcady or not that game is holding up REALLY REALLY good as a survival game even though you don't have to eat or sleep as a priority. You also forgot to mention 7 Days To Die which infact is taking survival rather seriously on a few different fronts. Allot of survival elements are starting to pop up since the last major engine change. Its not perfect but the game is treking along rather nicely to what its supposed to be developing into. I do hope Dayz becomes what its supposed to but at the moment i see no problem with other "better survival games" to tide me over till this ether is realized or fails flat on its face arcady or not. The Solus Project early access has just started up to. So ill be checking that up in the following week. I guess what im trying to say is don't hold some of these games you listed as a low standard survival substitute to try and make a point because some of them are really turning out nice.

Damn dude, thats depressing as fuck hearing it from you since i know you wanted survival to. I want the survival focus as well. I want it to be as blood drenched and as jam packed with undead like Dying Light is! Survival first! Better loot second priority all the way!

Im kind of hoping in the end the game will be sort of be like Project Zomboid. Heavy infected and the chance of dying trying to obtain loot or food needed to survive on a daily basis, weather that can kill you if you abuse your characters health to much, weight penalties with risk of fracturing limbs if your carrying to much, etc. Oh and also massive hordes you can draw attention to by doing specific actions like chopping down trees and firing guns.

I personally enjoy all the new guns and gear that comes out. It just means more options for latter when the core meat of the game gets introduced. Hopefully though by the end of the year we finally start to see the game in how its supposed to be. If not there is always 2017......? XD
