Just seen the game on Steam and they say the price has been reduced by 15% or something but isn't it now at it's original price?

Finally; 1pp may not be the cause in a majority of situations. My brother used to get similar sickness when interacting with any aspect of a computer screen and being an electronic engineer this is a crucial part of his job. The solution? He needed glasses. Other reasons could include photosensitive disorders, refresh rates, mouse sensitivity levels, over-exposure etc. Aside from all of this again, there is medication and therapy that can help. Point is, we all have problems, myself included, but it should not be the developers responsibility or burden to bear. They have server issues to deal with! What a charitable stance you have - pat yourself on the back. So the mod and the standalone has 3pp now you want to remove that? It seems to me that you feel the need for the world to revolve around you then? So you can enjoy the game your way? I bought the game with a 3pp and expect official servers to support that. I love roller coasters. Never been seasick despite being in some significant weather on both sides of the world. So I'd put that ahead of being able to tolerate motion sickness from a computer game. Yeah we've got no idea of figures but google "motion sickness" and "video games" and you get to see a huge number of people suffering from this. That's fine if DayZ want to continue to marginalize itself further which seems to be the tone of things on this forum these days.

what a fucking retarded thing to say and you're a mod what a disgrace.

FFS How many times!!!!!??? There are many of us who don't play 1pp or FPS games because it makes us feel sick, nauseous etc. Motion sickness if research is to be believed effects 10% to 50% of gamers, The effects, which are usually feeling so sick that you want to vomit and headaches, can continue after you stopped playing the game for two to three hours. It's a nightmare I would dearly love to play 1PP but I'm not putting up with 3 hours of feeling like I've been poisoned for 15 minutes DayZ time which is usually all I can handle. And yes I've tried everything.

sorry got a terrible case of hiccups so not thinking straight but didn't we buy the game on release for $30?

Yeah Blizzard is a bit different from Bohemia and kept people amused with other titles no???

No the argument has changed as most of us used to say "Alpha" to the idiots who were moaning about lack of content, bugs not being fixed, etc. However we should have been looking beta squarely in the face by now but there is nothing to suggest that's actually going to happen The game has fallen off the radar, I don't see it making any giant strides that will bring people back. They hired more folk to work on the game but it's not really changed anything. I think Rocket did a great job of keeping everyone's sh*t together and leading. After he left his replacement was poor and alienated the people who want to pretend they are living in Walking Dead Landscape and kill zombies - the majority of folk who bought the game. Also those that go on about the population who don't understand the process of building a game - true ,most of us don't. We lose interest and move on. Someone f*cked up somewhere.

It's a survival sim blah, blah, blah You had Hicks saying about 6-8 months ago he wanted a pure survival sim, Z's not important and he'd make the game that fitted his vision and it didn't matter even if only 3 people played it. Well he's got his wish and I hope his arse-kissing fanboys are happy with it too. Caboose, etc. I got a lot of stick over being against that stance at the time but I reckon I've been proved right. Even if they got someone in to try and get the project back on track people have forgotten the game. I'm gutted.

christ what are you on about?

Hang on wasn't that the patch where all the loot was just piled up in the outside toilets up north? Hardly challenging once you'd figured that out. So how are the HC crafters finding the game now with no Zombies? Isn't it there idea of heaven? Christ some of us that like zombies - the sh*t we took from the Hicks fanboys.

I used to leave notes to a fictional friend about a nameless horror at Green Mountain, warning my friend not to go there. I'd put it in a backpack on a persistent server.

Hey this building looks promising. OK you are carrying 3 guns with no ammo. It's been an Ice Age since you found a vest and your cargo pants are damaged. You wish to god you could find a sewing kit or a can opener Instead all you find is.... What's that crappy piece of sh*t that you always find in it's hundreds that makes your soul die a little when you find it? For me it's the Hammer. Millions dotted around the map. I'd rather get shot in the face than find a hammer.

Strange argument, has anyone designed a living infected humaniod that kills on sight? No, neither have the devs. I have however seen a gazillion zombie films, read books, etc. So I'd be up there in what I think should be expected in The Infected/Zombies. I think the devs are getting there. I have some experience of looking at transport infrastructure in cities but that was pertaining to cycle lanes. I would therefore say I have slightly more experience than most on here about city planning, so what I says is gospel, which is the map is lovely.

Yeah I've wondered about cycling 'loot storms' to mimic a start of the epidemic with resources slowly running out over time.

Agreed. Maybe you could include limping in the game? Or have a friend saw off your arm if you get bitten or shot and infection kicks in? Got to be better than the grey fuzzy screen?

I like th fact that you can be one-hitted. It's means even if you are a lone wolf, fully geared up and you never confront other players a Z can come along and ruin your day. There are enough real life examples of people being killed by the horribly termed "king hit". Not every injury totally heals, I have a knackered hip, knee and elbow from mountain bike wrecks. They've never fully healed.

I know a guy on another forum has just signed up to be a professional alpha/beta tester I'll ask him. Apparantly he reckons he has to focus on small areas of the game repeatedly and it's not as much fun as you think. I don't think the aim of a professional tester is shoot a head off a zombie so it lands on your someone's head in Svetlo - but I could be wrong.

Yeah but that's not a strong argument. Blizzard HQ; Bliz Dev A: "I know lets make a Magic the Gathering-style card game?" Bliz Dev B. "Nah that's not what we do..."

Look you are wasting your time. Whyhero, (seems like a nice bloke however), Carrawhatshisface, etc cannot and never will see your point of view or anyone's that doesn't narrowly stick to pure survival sim. This is because Hicks made a slightly tired and emotional defensive tweet or post after .55 saw a huge drop in casual players due to loot changes/GTA It basically said stuff everyone, including the backers, we are going to make the game, (very hard survival sim zombies/pvp being peripheral), we all intended we don't care even if only 10 people play it when it's finished. I'm sure in hindsight he wouldn't have made it as it came across as somewhat hysterical. So because of Hick's statement the half a dozen posters on here, who support his stance as gospel have now formed a mafia and feel they have Carte Blanche to shut down anyone who doesn't agree with their view of the world. You see new posters, or fairly new posters, come on here and just get shot down. Really sad as you ain't going to grow the game population this way. I love the mix the game currently has, (loot needs to be made harder to get obviously, Z's need fixing, it's an alpha, etc), and I sincerely hope that this mix stays roughly the same.

Yeah but when I take a break which I do from time to time I don't need a bunch of fanboys to tell me to take a break.

This is so right. Nvidia cards make playing WOT and Warthunder unplayable on my rig, even with shutting down services. Nvidia has the worst customer support ever.

The zombie's although a bit crap at the moment do have their uses as they tell you if anyone is in a town or has been recently in a town. Move up north, loot towns or stalk other players.

Yeah because constantly telling people they are whining or crying or 'move on to something else" or "the game is not for you play COD" is really, really constructive isn't it? Rather than just insulting people why not look at what is working in the game, or what to try if you want some fun? The trouble on here is that there is half a dozen players that jump down people's throats every time there's a criticism and that just drives people away. Why? Because they want a fanboy-only version of the game, They are usually backed up by ill-thought out comments put out there by Hicks. I love the game, Alpha-bollocks and all. I play up north on full pop servers and might not see another player for two hours or so. Usually after that time I know I'm pushing my luck and the anxiety starts to build. My encounters with fellow players who at that point are armed with something is short and bloody - as it would be. Occasionally you meet a friendly, not very often. Yeah I got p*ssed off when I got shot in the feet by a trumpet or something and couldn't see anything, trapped in the shed, with some Aussie dude telling me to drop my weapons. Yeah I was mildly disappointed that I had to start again when that inevitable shot came, Yes I should have risked closing the doors to see if he was going to come in after me, but it was fun.
