soulfirez

See i am a 1pp player but yeah i find myself heading to 1pp private shards because well there is more players on them than public versions. I hope you have luck getting numbers because its almost sad the amount of 1pp players who play 3pp due to wanting a full server. (If they would just start filling a 1pp one, more people would join and then it might get full lol )

Ah there making the type of game they said from the very start the hard survival game Rocket had envisioned as he sweat his ass off in singapore doing survival training lol. Just a little quote of dev hicks and what he wrote on the steam page.. Just how hard is DayZ supposed to be? What is the targeted experience here? How valuable should items, and thus what I carry be to me as a player? I like to think we're pretty up front about exactly what DayZ is and is supposed to be, and as we move closer to 1.0 more and more of this will begin to take shape. Once, when asked how valuable tools and resources should be to a player - on a scale of 1 to 10, where 1 is finding everything you need without issue, and 10 is elation over finding a can of beans (I'm paraphrasing here) Dean was quoted saying an emphatic "10". Feel free to read the full topic here on the steam page http://steamcommunity.com/games/221100/announcements/detail/129817471142924892 Im glad you like H1Z1 sounds like moving ahead it will be more your sort of game perhaps?? or atleast till modding comes in them i am sure someone will make a ubber lootz missions and NPC trader epoch style abomination you will probably love..

Hmm nope havent tried the bow since .54 . About to try cut up and cook my first chicken on a gas stove (for .55 that is) if it all works lol (fingers crossed)

Yes id say your right about the solid persistant servers ( i have a tent on a few servers) the one server that has kept my tent and its contents perfectly since .55 drop is also a server that doesnt spawn loot . Yes there are some bugs some MAJOR bugs in some of the alternate survival methods ( fishing as you pointed out) and they do need a little touch up on bows , i also think it should be easier to make a fishing rod any stick should do, it just wouldnt make as good a rod as an ashwood rod and thus have a chance of breaking or something. No one is saying this patch is perfect lol far from it but its a window into the future development of dayz .

Horse shit, Those who liked to KoS before will still do it ( which was a majority) those who didnt KoS probably still wont. I feel no great need to kill people now its a little tougher(and i do mean a little tougher the way some people speak its suddenly impossible not to starve :facepalm: I have to laugh though you guys will try and say anything to get your easy lootz returned.....

There is always hunting, fishing & fruit gathering to fill the void of an endless can food diet. Ya know the survival style mechanics they made to go in a survival game..... This was broken before due to no matches to start fires(or road flares they work just aswell). That includes hunting people to eat them if you wish so dont give me thats boring bull shit.. Are you sure its a good idea you bought a survival game and not a shooter??

Try some more servers as there are a few that are not spawning loot or look harder and in places you never used to look as loot spawn has completely changed (cars bus stops out houses and garden sheds are decent spots). I am on Australian servers and there is enough loot and its respawning , its just about 30% of the loot levels from previous patches give or take...

OH god i think ill avoid the forums completely, i am to angry a person to endure... To the op i am sure the loot tables will get adjusted , a fix here a fix there more testing how little food can we give them till they all die, how much starter gear like hoe,s seed basic tools do we need to give them to give them a good fighting chance to survive. Loot will go up and down but i doubt we will ever see it (except maybe in future mods) go back to pre .55 levels.

As written on steam from day 1 of sales..... This is DayZ, this is your story.DayZ is a gritty, authentic, open-world survival horror hybrid-MMO game, in which players follow a single goal: to survive in the harsh post-apocalyptic landscape as long as they can. Players can experience powerful events and emotions arising from the ever-evolving emergent gameplay. There are no superficial tips, waypoints, built in tutorials or help given to players. Every decision matters, there are no save games, no extra lives, every mistake can be lethal. If you fail, you lose everything and you need to play again from the beginning with nothing but your wits, and your two hands. Fight the hostile environment, where every other player can be friend or foe and nothing can be taken for granted. Strange this is what they said about Dayz from the start and to me it seems they are only just now getting there. Gritty authentic and fighting in a pink dress with a fire extinguisher dont really go hand in hand but the funny thing is YOU CAN STILL DO THAT IF YOU WANT. Sure it will mean a pretty short life but then if you wanted to survive you wouldnt be doing that would you?? I see the words open world survival horror and you can do what you want but if what you choose is good for a laugh will that mean its a viable method to SURVIVE NO. But again you can still do it if your happy playing 30 40 min lives having a laugh at the coast. Me ill try to survive in the gritty authentic survival horror they said it would be rather than the garry's mod with zeds some people want it to be ( PS I LOVE GARRYS MOD i just dont expect dayz to be like it)

Armed people need to shit to .. I feel sorry for the poor bloke/woman doing there thing being ripped away by zeds( thats how i look at it but sure they need to tweak loot more , its still going to be a better system than having most good items in a set location which does nothing but premote server hoping that location to loot up.)

Is it perfect how it stands ?? NO its not but its going in a certain direction and that direction is / and has clearly been said by devs a SURVIVAL game ... that means there will be at some point a very good chance that the enviroment WILL KILL YOU and you will have to start again and maybe again till you get a start good enough to take off. If it wasnt like that it wouldnt be a SURVIVAL GAME it would be a shooter, and again the devs have stated on many occasions its not a shooter.... Picking fruit like that is not currently completely needed you can survive without it BUT it does give you a solid chance of getting started, ask yourself this DO YOU WANT TO SURVIVE or are you just looking for a gun to shoot people??? The harsh nature of a survival game is what makes death have consequence , Before you died ran to a mil base and could be back fighting again in 30 to 40min, so a shooter with some survival aspects. Now you may have legit fear of dying. Will this make a good game?? i dont know but will it make a good ANTI GAME ( you know what dayz was touted to be ) i think so but time will tell

Ah so instead of spawning in making you way to closest military camp , looting and returning to the coast to fight you just travel to survive. Mil loot is spawning in mil places just in tiny amounts and i think you will find when its working the dynamic loot points(helicopter , cop cars etc) will spawn much more specific loot types.. The current system forces you to travel as one spot doesnt have enough to sustain you , and now your traveling in random directions trying to get the less picked over loots... This actually means every building has some value now, no more running into town going i got plenty food hmm lets just hit police station piano house and the orange buildings for weapons spawns. Now any house could hold what you want or a out house a shed etc etc . It takes longer to loot now and its more dangerous and i say welcome to the direction of Dayz , adapt and survive....

Strange i have been finding mil weapons and ammo at mil bases?? No where near as much as i did before but its there (unless your server is some how not working properly) I have tried it on private servers and public . I am utterly confused on the belief that survival mechanics = anti PvP ?? I want survival mechanics, as many as they can squeeze in, make it hard. But how does that stop PvP, do the guns we are finding not fire bullets anymore?? nope just takes a little longer to find them . This to me makes PvP better! why because now the risk of dying has some more consequence . You know if you die in battle it might take you an hour or more of oh shit i could starve etc . This MIGHT MIGHT lead to PvP being done in a more logical reason eg fighting robing farmer joe for his farm patch to gather food supplies rather than what was shoot anything anywhere for no reason other than i have a gun and a hell of alot of bullets ,got to shoot at something... I will be happy to fight over resources fearing for losing my life , getting into prolonged gun battles and deciding to bug out as the risk is to great for what reward i am going to get, or nope these fuckers must die,my group is starving and they have a FARM/Clean water/A Fuel tanker/a chest filled if rumours be true with mil grade ammo ...

They use to make you sick ( infact unless you were lucky eating them was a death sentence) if that has changed i dont know when it changed but in previous patches blue was death( which i always found strange as most blue berries are safe in real life and red berries are 50 50 or worse on being toxic..

I notice the can of food sitting there on the floor to .... Very apt picture indeed, beans for rising to the challenge .55 has set rather than crumbling.. Edit strangely today i discovered i could beat a zombie dead with my fists through a window with no glass in it...

So no answering if your sure you have hit them in the head (eg vital area as it is a medical fact on the amount of punishment the human or any animals body can take in its fight for life) Nothing really to support your assertions that the patch is indeed broken but just a your not a nice person i cant bully you into being quite so its over aye. @yazar8 As for the amount of food we eat this has been covered before MANY times is it realistic NO, is it authentic that depends on your perspective. You can go 2 weeks with no food ( depends heavily on conditions and your starting physical condition how active you are going to be etc etc) but it is done in a gamey method to make you focus on survival aspects because if it was real you would be focusing on getting food and trying to avoid zeds. If you could go even days on a small amount of food(as you realisticly would) there would be no deaths from starvation it would all be gun shot wounds(or zed attacks and glitches bugs lol) and that in itself is not realistic ( we dont play realistic because its a GAME) so the effect in the end is actually authentic as death by disease /freezing / starvation & zed attack would most likely be more common than death crazed murderer shooting you because he can (and more power to that murderer as i feel they do add tension to the game even if its unlikely many if any people would act that way in the situation lol

Thats strange thats pretty much exactly how i feel about all those that have been crying about the patch (and again i wasnt directing at you but to many others but you picked the fight). Strange the negativity seems to be coming from you ?? i mean the premise of your thread is .55 broken? and your constructive reasons why you believe it is. Strange some people dont agree with you and you straight attack. So please stop pissing down my back and tell me its raining, your allowed to state why you think it is broken i can state why i believe its not.. If you come after my posts directly then expect me to respond. Thats how it works in real life. Again can any of these melee weapons kill in 1 strike, yes many can if you know what your doing or your lucky in real life and in game they may be able to one shot to ( i just havent nailed it in 1 hit or maybe it doesnt do enough damage as i have always used 2 or 3 strokes, not 8 or more people are saying. Again these are rage infected people do you know how tough the human body is when you switch of its shock receptors ? They will fight like demons till they die from blood loss, again man stabbed 11 times fought and beat his attacker, and it took me 4 shots with a retractable rod to knock him out so i could save his attacker from death and himself from bleeding out...... As for my comment on the hardcore PvP people whats wrong with that ?? plenty of people spend plenty time in these forums stating the game is PvP but the moment they introduce survival elements many of them are the first to scream its a shit change (and the change doesnt stop PvP hell to me it makes it better because your heart is racing as you dont want to die because you KNOW HOW HARD IT IS TO START OVER

Ill do that the moment you show me where i am crying as you said i was crying first ( when infact is was a pull ya socks up bitches) If you look at my initial post its not even aimed at you (if it was i would have quoted you ) it was aimed at the many others who have to come to cry on each others shoulders about mean devs doing exactly what they listed in the road map. Whining is what your doing with your sharing your opinions on melee weapons contra your experience in real life. I didnt realize you had experience trying to bash the skull in of people infected with a rage style virus?? please do share how effective you were. I can share how in my time in the army in the 90s , how i have seen melee weapons not kill people in single strikes specially when they havent hit in a vital area (and thats normal people just running on adrenaline not completely devoid of human emotion and with pain receptors being blocked by an infection. How while working as a prison officer saw a life prisoner take 2 shots from an axe and a star picket to the back and still beat the 2 guys attacking him.(granted he spent the next 6 months in the infirmary to recover from his wounds) A man stabbed 11 times (over an extra egg by the way ) who beat his attacker by biting his nose off and then beating his skull against the ground. Have you been hiting these zeds in the head in game ?? be honest now because i have taken no more than 3 shots to kill a zed on patch .55 and i cant b e sure they were all head shots (infact the final shot may have been the only direct head shot

No i am just sick of the crying threads and thats what they are... But good try . I am not bad ass and thats the point i am still finding it VERY EASY ,and i dont think i am bad ass. PS no women are throwing there panties at me , my wife wouldnt like it. Your attempt at being constructive you failed to look at your play methods and be constructive if you were playing in an optimal fashion or if you were just doing what you did last patch and getting the same results. I am pretty sure if you spent as much time adapting to the changes as you did trying to make constructive your crying, you would find its still pretty damn easy. So the answer to the thread is no patch .55 isnt broken small parts of it are but the mentality of many people playing it maybe??(although yes persistence is still way of wack but there is few people crying about that and alot more saying no food no loot im leaving till they fix zeds.)

1 hour 15 min work, spawned in cherno made my way to zelengorsk Am i fully decked out like i would be in earlier patches NOPE. but i am far from starving and i have a nice set up going. Sorry if your starving /cant find loot but maybe its time to think maybe i just aint that good at the game?

I dont understand why people are struggling so much?? I have killed myself in 1pp and 3pp to test from new character, i have stayed on the coast to make it worse for myself. Still i find enough food to survive , sure it takes me alot longer to get to light green healthy energized etc but i get there without needing any natural (grown hunted) food. Sure i dont have food i am leaving behind like i use to but then i shouldnt be able to .. Look in cars , every car, they have been a large source of canned food and soft drinks...... Zeds are very VERY easy just use stealth and your brain crouch move through town , watch for zeds , move when they are not looking in your direction. As for melee them well yeah your going to get hit but do it in 1pp ( i am a 1pp player) aim for the fucking head, i down zeds in 2 hits with me getting hit 1 time, so again i stealth past unless i need them dead.. I dont get this community with the oh i am hardcore i play dayz and straight bandit killer mofo ya da ya da moment they turn up the difficulty a little ( and i imagine its going to get harder) the fucking tears start flowing, what happened to being mr bad ass pvp king?? Yes you can still PvP to (i am not a big KoS kinda guy but to test the my PvP is gone wahhhwaaahhh) shoot at players on the outside of town or shut doors to a building and shoot from a window this draws zeds which in many cases will chase who you have been shooting at when they cant get to you... Are there a couple small things broken with this patch?? Yes there is but over all it is by FAR THE BEST PATCH yet . Survival game and wow now your actually having to slow down and think about surviving oh wow those evil devs making the focus survival in a survival game , who would have thought it aye.

Just 2 threads down another thread on tents and persistence http://forums.dayzgame.com/index.php?/topic/223506-tents-and-persistence-again/. I think people know but by all means add to that thread so its bumped to the top for people to notice it and be informed..

LOL thank heavens humanity as a whole doesnt share this misguided sense or we would all be thinking the world is flat. Something is classed yes as speculation as theory until tested , then when its shown to be wrong its classed as false info. Again who knows if the wiki is telling the truth about what those vials contain i dont you dont and wont because you wont even test it.. Anything untested is false LOL , i havent tested that your even human guess that means your not aye (logic when did it go out the window )

I am not saying i am right either LOL doing the same thing on the little info we have plus basic field medical training. I am suggesting things as i want to know the results for future reference as i dont know how deep the medical system is now or will become in the future.

I made the medical jump to infected wounds as he said he hasnt been drinking pond water and has been shot. Your correct in that the early stages of a wound infection would result in those symptoms but left un checked it will produce fever ( resulting in him being always thirsty as he has mentioned) and nausea & diarrhea. But i am just taking a stab on what he has said and the answer could be in what he hasnt said (could be as simple as he has eaten something not properly cooked etc but i made the jump as the defining point he made was he had been SHOT)
