Ah the inside of buildings and the rusted cars are what you would expect to find in a run down low economic ex soviet country ( that hasnt changed much apart from blood added from how it was represented in arma 2 ya know when there were no zombies or apoc, just a war torn low economic country. Its not ment to be months and months after the apoc its set right after the apoc how can i say this 1) the zeds are infected not undead and as such they would have started to die out/starve long after apoc when there is nothing left to eat people wise. 2) its called DayZ the Z is not for Zombie its actually for Zero as in day zero, the first day... Thats not to say they shouldnt add more atmosphere to there cities and towns it just should be more in the lines of more blood ( which again is still visible on walls floors if it was months after the blood would have gone dark dark brown not red) broken furniture houses with the doors busted in etc etc the sort of stuff that makes you feel like the shit went down not just everyone vanished..

Dont get mad get even i say ( i dont like straight KoS playstyle but its a legit one so meh ) Your next life try out being all about the kill hide near good loot spots and do the dirty back.. Does it solve anything NO hell it could make it worse as it may be another new guy you kill lol. But its very therapeutic , once you die doing as much PvP as you can, go back to being friendly till you die a few times then go on a rampage of Kos again . Sooner or later dying wont mean that much to you and you will know which play style you like playing try them all out...

Im sorry probably over reacted i just see so much crying over such minor details ( there are things wrong with the game dont get me wrong lol) There at essence is nothing wrong with wanting to play a PvP style in game, it is a sandbox type of game, play the way you want. But i do draw the line at when people complain about adding survival style features to what is listed as ( even if its very early and very easy now) a survival game. When there worry is just for the PvP side of the game if a feature slows or inhibits there play style even slightly it becomes a terrible feature when lets get real here PvP/player interaction is ,has and always will be a major part of the game BUT its not a straight PvP comp game ( there is no k/d or any stats that would lend it to being designed that way ) These sort of features will make the game harder for everyone to play there not aimed at stamping out KoS or PvP your always going to be able to do these things but it might make them a little harder to do ( no more than it will everyones play style) and should infact make it more interesting for everyone( SHOULD). No one will ever stop you playing how you want to play but it will(and hopefully get alot) harder for everyone and harder hopefully equates to more rewarding in a challenge sense.

They already do dark green ones been in gam,e for months hell as long as the yellow and orange rain coat Hmm so how does adding survival mechanics change that ?? you can still do all of those things you just may have to face consequences( eg your a nude axe wielding maniac you will freeze eventually doesnt stop you from doing it , just as you have always been able to do death match in berezino consequence was you were likely to die to other death matchers sooner or later. So explain what you pissing and moaning about?? strange kryptonians are supposed to be smart and tough you come off as the nothing like that.. LOL and the moment they do there on here crying like little twerps.. Mommy Mommy i like to hide in the bushes and snipe people now the mean game forces me to find warm /or cooler or water proof cloths before i can hide in bush/roof top etc to snipe people its not fair Mommy.. You can still do everything you want you just need to plan for seconds more how to do it. Fuck heaven forbid they add ACE mod style snipping to the game people would loose there shit..

Oh no i can carry 1 less ammo box with 300 rounds i most likely never have time to shoot and have to carry a rain coat. Well bugger me thats hard now isnt it, fuck the WHOLE game is ruined now whahhh whahhh .. This sort of shit and from people who most likely havent tried the experiemental patch because its really not that big of a deal hardly effects you really(get cold need to eat more food get real cold you may have to stop and make a fire but seeing you wont be playing it at night it wont get that bad. If you seriously consider jumping server to avoid the rain just stop playing now (this is some of the most absurd rubbish i have read in these forums) Edit why isnt there a rotten kiwi fruit button aswell as a give beans one cause trust me i am mentally throwing rotten kiwi fruit at some of the people in this thread ( my 2 year old has more grit than some of the whinning little twats in this thread..

Hey i like your ideas and hope they implement them in pretty much that fashion ( the idea that vehicles would be rare isnt so much that they themselves are rare but working ones driven by people will be if they are as hard to get running and maintain as they should be and you yourself have sugested. Vehicles were not rare in the mod between the 1000 vehicle servers and the mods of the mod eg epoch where you could buy a vehicle!! I for one would hope we dont go down that track when they are rare they are special ( that fear as a lone wolf hearing a vehicle coming running for cover or in a group going hmm can we gank that ride etc. But besides a mil vehicle or if its possible a heavily modified crafted vehicle i cant see it being a huge game changer, sure they will allow for faster flow around the map but if there are few running then it will just be one or 2 groups moving aqround fast while the rest of us go about our day to day ( with maybe the added quest of hmm can i stalk the vehicle wait for clan we awesome to hide there vehicle in the bush and gank that shit.. Civ vehicles will be pretty weak to small arms fire so risking your new ride in a possible shoot out will be costly time and parts wise(not to mention potentially lethal. Dont get me wrong i look forward to seeing how they put them in but for the many people here who seem to think it will be like the mod ( or like epoch were almost everyone got a vehicle) I hope there sadly mistaken more and more of something lessens the value of it . You know they think everyone will get one by the why add a stamina in now wait to vehicles type cry when anything that may slow your movement happens( they all think there walking/jogging /running dayz will be over there all going to be low riding that shizzz..

Yeah i am one of those that believe that unconcious should rag doll aswell due to now that tension of is he dead has gone. It sucked but it made it so much more tense when i shot a guy who had been shooting at me and he fell in long grass and i drew close to check he was dead and he woke up and capped me with his pistol( i was way to slow as i was changing from sks to pistol to not waste my primary ammo) That was back before rag dolls ( and wouldnt someone knocked unconcious go as limp as some one dead when they fell( i mean completely unconcious not just heavily dazed as the case is with many boxers.)

Yeah thats why i specified he said bike not bicycle because it could be very likely a simple motorbike first as it would cover pretty much all the mechanics required for more complicated vehicles( but now i am just speculating on the scraps we have heard as yeah i recall hicks saying not a bicycle) ah the joys of trying to piece together cryptic cluees sprinkled in streams tweets and posts on reddit LOL...

Death match mentality NOTHING TO LOOSE so why not try . To be honest id say freshspawns and poorly geared people are almost as dangerous as completely geared out players (1 is nervous with so much to lose so shoot and one has nothing to lose so why not.) Surprised its taken you that long to see something i would say sadly is typical Dayz behaviour.

Hmm if by rumour mill you mean rocket about 3 months ago saying they had most of a bike ready to go and just needed to clean up some files. It was during his game talk streaming live play of Dayz but nothing more was said about it after that. So um yeah i guess devs start rumours(although he said bike not bicycle.) But hey i am happy to wait and see when and wait they put in as a first vehicle as really in the end they will be pretty rare so it wont be much of a game changer just give clans and small groups of people a task to do. As for the guy saying a bike only allows 1 person to get from A to B faster but a car opens up so many more options what extra options does it open up?? getting multple people from A to B faster??

Hmmm late to the party as usual I voted nay. I have read alot of what has been written in this thread ( not all of it wow alot of talk on what was a bug sound removed when they fixed the bug) but the big thing people keeping banging balance and fair etc. Well ok if they have a log in sound for the person logging in that tips the balance to the person already in game so how about if you want the logging in guy to make a sound every person who is in range to hear his log in sound makes a sound in return so he/she knows your there to that would make it fair ABSURD but fair. There is a reason so many are for or against the sound they are only looking at the balance fair bit from one side of the arguement...

Hey i play on the singapore server well when the Aus/NZ is full ill jump on the singapore server (dont know why but its always the dodgy server so many times spawned in no loot or zeds at all and various other strange events..) Experimental is not really for playing on your character gets wiped very very often ,usually has alot of extra bugs but yes it has the new toys early .This is for those guys who are willig to test more than just straight up play ( you can still have fun ) but if your not the sort with an account for the bug tracker and are really just wanting to play then well thats why they have stable( i cringe in the experimental threads when someone complains about bugs about being wiped its like hello this IS EXPERIMENTAL!!!

I had one till a week ago when i made the mistake of painting the mosin ... The bipod just vanished on the freshly black painted mosin 8(.

hmm strange i have seen ruined magnum before it was quite visible both in the examine and even without checking you could see the rusty like texture of it ( it was pristine and got hit by zeds attacking me and they ruined it) Guess ill have to try find someone and see if they can see the condition of the gun..

Yes sadly the magnum seems bugged ( well it wouldnt work for me either) an interesting bug though is the chemlight bug , you break them and they dont seem to light up but then you throw them and they get stuck in the air glowing ( i had fun with this turning a tree into a christmas tree..

Then dont play with or without friends unless you have time to manage things Dayz has always been touted as being an anti game not your typical instant gratification game that you jump on for a quick 30 min PvP match like you would with say a BF4 etc. Play it when you have time to play it ,if the idea of a difficult struggle that doesnt hold your hand doesnt sound good to you , you may have bought the wrong game..

Do it , its actually starting to feel like a survival game ( not perfect by any means lol ) but it gives you a good idea of the whats to come ( i am waiting for the huge crying that's going to errupt on the forums i keep starving zeds are killing me i keep freezing why cant i find my fully tricked out AKM anymore etc etc etc..

Oh no they have added a survival mechanic to a game thats ment to be a survival game what the hell were they thinking!!! Strange it seems to be working reasonably well for me if i dont sprint every where i dont over heat. If i wear cloths or make a fire at night i dont freeze hmmm strange that kinda sounds reasonable doesnt it. PS for the why would they add this before vehicles crew ah what you think everyone is going to have a vehicle they will be rare ,hard to fix and maintain so the majority of people will still be walking/jogging/running to get around so it really doesnt make fuck all difference. But hey wow you might have to slow down now and care about your characters health( weird in a survival game right actually working on surviving) but hey this might give you time while moving from town to town to spot animals to hunt so you can eat seeing as food is getting a little rarer also.

I dont know if your a software developer ( i dont care and sorry to many people say they are on here) but i agree with everything you just said... For the love of god i am so sick of people coming here going i know its alpha but, and what follows in most cases shows they dont know what alpha means. The wahhhhhh stop making new hats and shirts etc fix zombies when no offence to the content 3d artists they probably dont know anything about the AI , maybe they do know but it isnt there job to work on it there are other people ya know the ones they hired for that specialty field(really people do you think the whole game stops and they focus on just one thing even when its a major thing, they will be banging away with zeds all the way to release and most likely beyond. The they have got all this money now why cant they finish the game now mentality(money helps but it isnt magic ,there isnt a magic bowl you throw this money in and code magically appears finishing off the game for you. Is the game perfect hell no, its not a game yet its an alpha it will likely get worse in ways before it gets better ,everytime they add stuff they may break something else its going to happen. We wont get what i would call trully a good idea of how the gameplay will roll untill into the beta when most of what they want to add is added and then there fixing it to work as intended. Then they will be balancing loot tables etc to make the gaming experience they wanted ( or as close as they can ). Sorry for the rant i am spending less and less time on these forums as it frustrates the hell out of me. I am happy with there progress is it mind blowing no but then alot of the work has been under the hood stuff thats happened (you guys cant tell me that in general the game play isnt smoother now with less lag to your hotbar items no huge rubberbanding problems etc etc they warned at the start it wasnt going to be a quick alpha i am sure they are glad of the extra funding from alot of people buying the game but i honestly feel some of you need to put the game down and come back in 6 months.

I am sure there are plenty of hackers around but are they really that rampant ?? in over 400 hours i have seen 1 possible hacker( it may have been desync cant be 100% sure) and found 1 set of hacked gear (full kitted m4 with unlimited ammo clip ) which strangely was just laying inside a building . Maybe its because i dont go to berezino very often i have avoided it ?? are there less hackers in australia new zealand and lower asia?( i doubt it ). To be honnest i have played about 120 hours of BF4 and in 1/4 of the time i have seen dozens and dozens of cases of possible hackers( i always say possible because i cant prove they were hacking but they did things you cant do in the constraints of the game lol) so i ask is it really that bad in dayz right now?? Mehh maybe i have just been lucky or maybe people have had 1 or 2 encounters with it and just loose there minds. If you want to see hackers play dayz mod on public servers ( i moved to playing private hives for this very reason) you will be teleported all together into an insane shooting gallery, you will get stuck dancing you will have animals falling from the sky /or you will fall from the sky etc etc etc .

Come or go i dont think it will matter to much in the scheme of the game. Hell at this point i think it be fine for him to go home to his family ( as he has expressed his want to do this for over a year now) ,Id say if he went home but stayed on as an advisor (eg they email/skype him and go we got this idea to add and he goes yeah that fits the idea of dayz or you crazy that make it more of a etc etc. He could do a little PR work as although his style was um less professional than what some might expect but i actually found his gamer like enthusiasim was infectious he wasnt some buisness director speaking about the game like a robot. I actually think they should have made a move like this behind closed doors it would have saved the upstir in the community because we would be none the wiser and dean would be in name be still connected to Dayz hell do we even know for sure he does that much for the game now( i am sure he does but for all we know he may just be figure head now lol)

I was on of the peasants who while the game supported the xbox360 controller used its limited functionality with a xpadder profile loaded over the top to put 90% of the games functions onto the controller (everything except the hand gestures which id just use the KB for.) i found it quite relaxing playing in my leather recliner with controller in hand wireless KB next to me playing on my 65 inch led tv, was nice even being able to use the xbox headset to communicate with was almost as good as my 190 dollar pc headset lol which is not wireless hence back to the monitor for me. since its removal i have put my pc back in the study and connected back to my monitor lol i can play the game with either controller or KB seeing its not really a twitch shooter you dont really loose to much playing with a controller( plus when vehicles come in the controller is much better for driving and flying helicopters) generally the person who sees the player first wins if there is a gun fight so unless thats at cqb the controller did alright (and certainly was more comfortable for long runs in the wilderness.. Might give this a try (does the movement work as it use to with the games profile that the stick controlled the speed of your movement as in slight tilt forward walk tilt further jog full way forward run ?

Where did the devs say the zeds where the dead kind??? nowhere they have always been classified as the infected kind ( which is still classed as a zombie as 28 days is a zombie movie with infected people) Dont blame anyone but yourself for not researching what your buying or the topic of zombies for that matter. But hey we are in agreement on 1 thing we dont care what you say either... Edit much as i would love and prefer a slow undead type zombie i dont think the engine will handle enough of them to trully make the slow zombie a threat as you would need 100 plus in each large city 50 plus in every major town and 30 plus in small towns with wandering hordes of 50 or so to make slow zeds remotely a threat.

I wouldnt want to hip fire 50m away (well not unless it was merely cover fire while moving to keep the target surpressed) IMO i wouldnt really like to see it effective more than 20 m but maybe i am to mean perhaps ,but i dont see many guys in real life hip firing at targets at 50m ranges (unless its from over top of cover with no aim at all or surpressing.

Ah i see what you mean now ( i dont play 3rd person ever really so i didnt notice it) the recoil is the same but the amount of mouse movement required to manage it is greatly different in 3rd hip firing little movement is all thats needed to keep on target and looking down the sights does require more and constant re adjustments... Ah well i hope they have some solution for that as it seems far more pronounced in 3rd person than in first person( hip firing in first person still requires a large amount of adjusting and if they removed the crosshair it be near perfect..
