Its going to be hard/impossible to proove without some kind of in game plug in or official collobaration However I would love to see stats like Current time alive: 3 days Longest time survivied: 9 days Humanity: Survivor/ Bandit / Hero Favourite gun: M4 (10 kills) Zombie Kills: 129 Survivor Kills: 0 Bandit Kills: 10 Hero Kills; 0 Animals Hunted: 140 Blood bags used: 3 Medical procedures completed: Distance travelled (foot): Distance travelled (vehicle): and so on :)

Turn VOIP all the way down. There is a glitch where sometimes after youv spawned/ been killed your direct chat transmits globally. TUrning VOIP all the way down not only fixes this but it doesnt affect Direct, so you can still use direct I thought this was common knowledge as it was happening on release date AS for cans opening/ someone eating you can also hear that all way across the map. Same for zombies. I think sound needs some updates

When the server restarts it should be +4 hours to the last start. So we never go back in time. each restart should pick up where the last one ended. SIMPLE

i am also playing a helpful medic and will go out of my way to help and save anyone in trouble I am located near the north military base on Eu Servers. If you would like to dine with me, or share some supplies just ask ne0

they are Safer than normal servers i can confirm met many friendlies while trying out one, though i did come under fire at airfield. The one i joined had a little phrase saying 'Please try and be friendly, shooting last resort ' or something like this... I don't think the admins have the time or capability to watch and kick everyone who KOS And why are you all kicking up such a damn fuss? Theres only ever about 5/ 100 servers doing this, let them do it and stop grassing on them. I am guessing the bandit style players are annoyed.

i play at 45-60 fps on a medium rig (i5 4670k, 660 graphics) On Arma 3 Breaking Point mod ( a bigger map with way more zombies and items) i get constant 60fps So its doable.

Hi I just wanted to give my feedback as a Day Z fan and played the Standalone for about 50 hours now. During the first few hours I really enjoyed the sparse, deserted landscape and finding supplies was difficult. However, now I think food and drink particulary is far too easy to come across. I think spawn rate needs reducing quickly. With the amount of streams/ wells around it is very easy to never be dehydrated. In apocalyptic situation with all the viruses and dead bodies around, I think the wells/streams/ lakes should have a chance of infecting people, like in the mod where you had to boil them. Dead zombies might have fallen in or the water could be poisoned, either way its too easy to never be thirsty. I think food and drink should be hard to come across in an apocalypse. And the servers don't even have loot respawn yet. Most people say you can get fully geared up in an hour or so. I don't think its that easy but it is getting close. So when we get animals, hunting and loot respawning, it seems hunger and thirst will be easy to keep not even a problem. In my current character I have 4 canteens and about 6 cans of food that I keep topping up. I didn't find it particulary challenging and I've never died of thirst or hunger, even with only 6 months experience gaming on PC and Day Z. I would hope they will already be implementing the chance of getting sick/infected from drinking from wells, streams or lakes at some point. I know the cooking system is nearly ready? Also I have suffered no bad side effects from eating badly damaged or red condition food (other than fruit) so maybe these need a chance of not satisfying hunger or slight illness/vomiting. I think food should spawn about 50% less than it does currently. Especially with the loot respawning coming in at some time. This would also free up some space for spawning more zombies, which I know are coming at some point. So feedback from me please make it harder. When cooking system is in would like to see all water (thats not boiled first) has a 50/50 chance of infection/ sickness. So you can only drink boiled water/ cans of pop. And less food, more zombies. Sorry if this has already been said I have searched for threads about it been too easy and couldn't find.

Honestly you can already recover your health instantly by using the IV drip thing or a blood bag. Filling yourself up only takes a few items and spamming drink at a well. you don't need to eat a ton. Most ailements have a specific cure- tablets, anti biotics, only food for lost blood, whereby the IV saline would be more efficient. Also the fact that most players want to have gun battles with survivor elements isn't really what Day Z standalone is about , to be honest it IS a survival game with gun battles thrown in, or whatever you want thrown in, the majority of the community been selfish bandits who mostly like to troll each other, well we shouldn't cater the game towards them,. we should aim for a realistic survival zombie apocalypse, that you can do whatever you want in. In my opinion. We shouldnt aim for that sort of game just because there is a popular 'bandit' style associated with Day Z. thanks

thanks for the comments guys. Yes I know its alpha and things will be balanced later. I just wanted to throw my feedback out there as thats what the forum is for and its quite an easy tweak to reduce food / drink spawns. I just heard all about Rocket wanting the Standalone to reflect the 'hardcore' days of the mod and I was hoping it would be very challenging to stay alive. I've heard a few other people on my friends list say its too easy as well. When we get more zombies, and increase players per server, that should help slightly. But from 40/40 players to 60 or even 100 isn't that far of a stretch. With the amount of food I have found , having twice as many players, so maybe half as much food available, well it still wouldn't be that difficult to gather, especially with hunting, and loot respawning which will be enabled soon I think. I guess the wells should technically and realisticlty be clean and drinkable. However streams /ponds and all water should have to boiled just for balance reasons. There are wells in nearly every little farm town, streams everywhere. You barely need to collect Sodas or canteens at this point because you can spam drink at a well and then be full for hours. is there even a punishment for over-drinking? I know he says my stomach is full and then can vomit if you keep doing it. But there doesn't seem to be a penalty? Like make him not able to sprint for 5 minutes if you over-drink or need to sit down. Just thinking of ways to make it more challenging. I hope this is already all under control, and its alpha early days etc. I just want to make sure my voice was heard and same goes for my friends that I play with., everyone says its too easy to me. More challenging survival is more rewarding and might help to encourage team work. I am really looking forward to the next updates and very grateful to development team. Enjoying Standalone a lot over christmas holidays and will be playing regulary as we go through into Beta. :)

I agree with OP I agree its a priority please to try to remove the acceleration or sticky feeling. I have v sync off and frames limited by my graphics card, the mark c mouse fix and my games feel smooth except Day Z standalone/ Day Z mod. Arma 3 is really smooth. I hope they can somehow update Standalone with the Arma 3 code for aiming and mouse control.

to be honest i could easily fit all the controls on there. You would probaly need a radial menu for the 8 weapon slots but everythign else would easily fit. You could do the hand gestures by holding down a bumper and pressing each D pad button. A controller has the advantage of only needing one thumb to cover all the movement compared to the clunky, victorian WSAD movement most PC gamers use. Personally i use a G13, because an analog stick is much more logical and just damn better for character movement than 4 keyboard keys (designed for typing). Obviously, before you flame, a mouse is better for aiming, and i use one too. But for movement- analog stick VS wsad,..analog wins all day

im with you OP im a friendly survivor spreading love through cherno i have med kits, food, drinks and oranges for the party and I'll bring vitamins & morphine if you want to get high :) I wear my home made 'hero' outfit with blue check shirt, black jeans, cap and shades. See you near North east Airfield, at the lake :)

This is an apocalypse. You will eat them if your hungry :P

i am a friendly survivor, usually found at my temporary camp at Black Lakes. I find peace in solitude and will be surviving on hunting and boiled water, once they add those functions. I take on mercenary work as a bodyguard for the medics, and try to help other survivors I meet. I never shoot on site, Unless shot at

i also wonder where this obsession comes from with My Little Pony.., kind of breaks immersion to see people running around with those tags on . was it a group of people 'trolling' on battlefield with the MLP logo to annoy other people on the kill cam? i think thats where, it started.

found a tactical vest last night in the military base . I tried to make a hero style outfit.

just like to say the Medics of the Wasteland are a nice friendly team and looking forward to been part of their ranks. :)

theres several No PVP servers actually. I think they just recommend it and encourage people to be friendly. Its because of all the KOS assholes. and theres no kill messages for admins so they wouldn't know who to kick. Me and a friend were fired upon by a sniper on a so called no pvp server. Its just less KOS than usual Day Z. Nothing to cry about, and let them do as they wish is my opinion. They paid the rent for the server.

My fix is there, reduce VOIP all the way in audio WILL disable global, while still leaving ENABLED Direct, everything works perfect, so lower your VOIP. thank me later

Well your an absolute james Blunt aren't you. Typical Day Z troll with not enough brain cells to realise its not 'deathmatch'

get on team speak and yeah, i don't skype randoms mate

You guys must have more servers to be able to 'choose' or 'server hop' in America- All UK servers are constantly stuck on 40/40 Same with EU Its ridiculous. No doubt america has plenty servers they can even hop between them. We can't even join one.

third person is better for immersion, seeing your character, and enables a wider pheripheral view which is nearer to real life than having a camera in a box at head height.

I think its top of the list First priority is actually provide enough servers to player ratio. Currently UK Players cannot join a server, as they are all over filled. 1. Server hopping and combat logging - break the game and need dealing with ASAP or the whole servers will strain with all these noobs popping in and out. UNfair to people who want to actually get on and test. 2. Mouse aiming feels awful use Arma 3 aiming 3. Night time changed to Arma 3 lighting saturation (cannot gamma up things that are in shadow) these are top priorities in my opinion

As always a useful and excellent insight from yourself there. Thanks for helping the new guys so politely. Loot is random and weaponary is more common in military areas such as Balota and NW air fields.
