Or how about you just jog on down to the train station and pick one up yourself? No freebies. Be thankful you even get a flashlight and a battery.

It's gonna be fixed sooner or later. The devs are finalizing the dev roadmap this month, maybe there will be a mention of fixing issues like that.

Confirmed features: http://forums.dayzgame.com/index.php?/topic/156129-confirmed-upcoming-features-for-dayz/ The dev roadmap for DayZ will be finalized by mid-January. There should be a general announcement sometime this month hopefully.

Combat logging isn't cool but if you're gonna dedicate yourself to tracking down the steamid of every player that combat logs, it's not gonna leave a lot of time to actual play the game. Why hanging out at the coast in full milgear? Did you need flashlight batteries? :P

I don't see what concern it is to Rocket that a bunch of CoD kiddies can't stand the fact they're no longer spawning right in Cherno/Balota and complain on the forums about how it now takes them 30 minutes to run to Balota and how a full set of milgear isn't dumped in a pile in front of them when they spawn. I'm not one to say "Go back to playing your CoD." but...seriously...if you want a game that powders your bottom and tells you you're special...DayZ isn't it.

Wait wait wait wait wait. I thought we were gonna cool his hot heart with a cool island song.

Here are some great videos that totally deserve some more views. :P (no, they're not mine) Way better and a lot more entertaining than watching a well-known DayZ mod hacker stroking his epeen for half an hour.

Confirmed Features: http://forums.dayzgame.com/index.php?/topic/156129-confirmed-upcoming-features-for-dayz/ Additionally, the devs have stated they will be finishing their development roadmap for DayZ SA mid-January so hopefully the playerbase will also be able to see the roadmap later this month as well.

The devs have stated they will be finalizing the roadmap (development plan/schedule) in mid-January so hopefully this month, they will be releasing that information including what updates/features are planned for when.

I saw 4 zombies all huddled together and slapping each other in the face the other day and I giggled with joy, "A mini-horde!" :P And like has already been mentioned, Rocket wants to make zombies more of a threat so perhaps we'll see more zombies, different types of zombies, stronger zombies, hordes of varying size and perhaps something similar to Left4Dead2's "game director" where suddenly and sporadically you get attacked by hordes/waves of zombies.

Go to your Steam Account, Profile-Edit Profile and then simply type in the new name you want, then Save Changes at the bottom of the page. Do you know the email you used to sign up for Steam and receive emails from Steam? You should. Check that email and then make sure it's not being filtered out as spam or something else. If you're using the new Gmail, it has new automatic filters (tabs) that categorize your email, check those and check your spam folder. Steam was experiencing some network issues recently, so I would try again. It makes no sense for you to create a new Steam account to play DayZ, unless there was some sort of funny business associated with that account.

I've had some sporadic issues where suddenly my guy starts running uncontrollably to the left, which I've usually been able to solve by hitting escape a couple times. I don't know if it's related or not.

...is hilarious...especially when they're humming Sonic music. :P

DayZ and Rust are apples and oranges. Rust is not competition for DayZ. There have been like 6 updates/patches and the game hasn't even been released for a full month, and on top of that the devs were on holiday break during Christmas and still managed to punch out those patches. Instead of talking out your ass, take a look at the patch notes. http://forums.dayzgame.com/index.php?/forum/76-announcements-information/ BI is not EA and Activision where they have to race each other to put out new cookie cutter games and DLC, copy/pasted from last year's games and DLC with a different number on the box.

My reply wasn't aimed at you specifically. I was responding to this: "I have seen it before and i hope not to see it here but on other alpha games i have followed the development people have reported problems with the game and have been shot down by the STFU its alpha or beta crowd and those problems ended up staying in the game!!!" For the most part if someone gets a terse reply it's either because it's deserved or it's some newtroll who doesn't know better. So, if you get the "It's an alpha." reply, it's usually for the reasons I stated above. At any rate, for an alpha or beta that's nowhere near release, "It's an alpha." is a perfectly valid response. Constructive suggestions are fine but many of these "Classes! Factions! Team Deathmatch!" crap has already been suggesting numerous times, which is why people start to get annoyed responses to them. A lot of the suggestions and complaints we see on the forums, have one or more threads on the exact same forum page. People will complain about something and there's a thread complaining about the exact same thing right below theirs. For example, there have been I think like 6 threads this week about being able to open cans without a can opener and I think a couple more that were deleted or merged.

CAPSLOCK? Check. Lots of explanation points? Check. Great first post. Searching is for chumps. http://feedback.dayzgame.com

Uh...it's Day Z, pronounced with a long e. <_<

There's already a thread for this on the very first page of the Suggestions board. Auto-run button.

People aren't getting shot down for posting valid issues with constructive feedback. People are getting shot down because they: 1. Complain about already well-known issues that have been reported numerous times already, when they could just bump one of the other hundred other topics about the exact same thing. 2. Whine about how they got killed or some bug/game issue is ruining their gameplay. Game development isn't prioritized by whatever thing killed you last and self-entitlement issues due to your epeen being hurt. 3. Don't even know that the feedback tracker exists or just don't bother to use it at all and would rather just pointlessly bitch about stuff. 4. Complain about DayZ not having features from mainstream FPS games (like factions/classes/game modes/killscreens/player stats/etc) and how it's too hard which demonstrates a failed lack of understanding of the concept behind DayZ. DayZ is not a mainstream FPS twitch shooter. It's supposed to be hard...actually harder than it is right now so for anyone who thinks DayZ is too hard now...I don't know what to tell ya. 5. Make largely unintelligible rants comprised mostly of profanity, CAPSLOCK and exclamation points!!!!!!!!! 6. Think millions of dollars should suddenly cut down over a year of projected game development to just a month (because BI can just hire 50 more DayZ programmers/developers in the Czech Republic right?), ignore the fact that there have been 6 updates addressing core gameplay issued in less than a month and don't see why developers shouldn't have weekends and holidays off or do unnecessary things like sleep.

Sardine eating contests.

You're both a bit incorrect. Youtube will allow monetization on games but they will be cracking down on them and causing issues for many youtubers, which has already started happening. This is one of numerous articles. You can find more information by doing a little extra research/googling. http://cramgaming.com/youtube-getting-tough-video-game-monetization-12989/

Yeah, DayZ isn't a game for people who want to epeen about their KDR. http://dayzstats.wix.com/dayzgamestats I think OP is looking at it the wrong way. The fun part is starting over with nothing! Plus, it's prime time for shenanigans because you've literally got nothing to lose.

At the moment for the Standalone, it seems bleeding only stops when you bandage it or run out of blood. The former is the preferred method.

This exact same thread and this exact same video have already been posted too many times to count, in general discussion, off-topic and the suggestion forum as well. There was no need to create a new thread: http://forums.dayzgame.com/index.php?/topic/162649-no-need-for-can-opener-comrads/
