When the DayZ mod servers turned away from this philosophy, the game lost something for me.

Cool, another Urban Dead player. Well met! That game was pretty fun - it's too bad you only got so many moves each day.

Not worth the work that would be required. I say this as a left-handed person. I shoot right-handed, though. Think about the last time you saw a FPS game where your character fired left-handed. Are there any at all? Nobody thinks it's worth worrying about.

The more hacking that happens in the Alpha, the less of it hopefully will get through when the game releases. Hackers are shooting themselves in the foot by using all their tricks now... Unless, the hackers are actually TESTERS who are using their technical know-how to help the devs close these loopholes in their code.... Hmmm...

Lampooning the rampant speculation over this game? I'm all for that. +1 Beans

I have to say it's players who do their trading right out in the middle of a town, without seeking cover or having anyone on lookout. A close second is the players who kill someone and proceed to loot the body without checking to see if there are other players accompanying the victim. Also, pausing to bandage a bleeding wound while not in cover. In the mod, the dumbest thing I saw the newbies doing was trying to go after and kill every zombie the instant they got a melee weapon, as if they were worth points or something.

Drawing connections that did not exist. If BI or Rocket had come up with lore, don't you think they would have wanted to share it?

We appreciate you sharing the results of your field surveys.

This is starting to sound more interesting all the time. Still a long, long ways to go, but... I applaud these efforts.

I kind of agree with OP here. The vanilla DayZ mod seems to have gone out with a whimper.

It might be nice if there were a few more offshore islands like Skalisty or smaller. That would make it more interesting to have boats in the game.

Yep, I just said "tend to be." Not all are. But holy crap is it easy to get some of em sidetracked.

Pothead teammates are funny until you have to depend on them for anything. Then they tend to be the wrench in the spokes.

It's our butts that are supposed to be hurting, remember? :)

What is there to be butthurt about? I don't work for Bohemia. Sorry you couldn't tell what my true objection to your post was. I'll spell it out for you. You asked the devs for this game to quit. I do not want that. You don't get to make that decision. Now do what you said you were going to do and leave.

Translation: I can't handle people disagreeing with my whiny rants, so I label them "butthurt" as a defensive mechanism. What I was really looking for was a bunch of posts only agreeing with me. Circlejerks are fun!

Bohemia Interactive Press Release Hey, sorry guys, but development of DayZ Standalone is being halted. There's this guy on the forums, you see. Mister Sandman, he called himself. Well, right before he quit playing our Early Release version of DayZ, he told us that we might as well quit too. We thought long and hard about it, and decided that this one player is qualified to make the decision to take DayZ out of all of your hands. We're throwing in the towel and going on to pursue other interests. We're sorry for any inconvenience the cancellation of our game may have caused you, but you have to admit, Mister Sandman made a good point. Farewell!

OP, I'm with you. Devs! How can you even think to add duct tape to the game if it cannot be used for anything? Really, I'd have just kept it out of the loot table until I could make it do at least one thing. How do we have sewing kits that can repair clothing, and yet duct tape can't perform a similar function on other items? Seems kinda basic.

I just experienced something like this. It sounded like the footstep audio was playing at 2x the rate it should be as I crouch-ran. It wasn't doing this earlier. In fact, I started noticing it only after I entered the vicinity of the new town to the North of Gvozdno.

Do we really want this? It'd require a bunch of new animations and tons of new code, for what? I'm not really comfortable with that kind of grotesque realism. No thanks. It's DayZ, not Dead Space.

Fine, except: Hackers are not dear to any of us.Most of them aren't even real hackers.They won't stop until the last loophole is closed by BI.Hackers don't respond to kindness, civility or formality.Just so you know what you're really up against.

I wasn't being serious. I'm never serious with people who go into all-caps rage.

Other players have as much right to be at the NEAF (for any reason) as you do. Until we have vehicles and far-flung spawn points again, adjust your expectations accordingly.

We're not talking about vitamin pills, necessarily. We're talking about players being mandated to have healthy food, rather than being allowed to subsist on a diet of Rasputin Kvass and Pipsi. Fish are a good source of one set of nutrients, apples another, and red meats, yet another. Requiring players to eat balanced diets in order to avoid sicknesses like scurvy and other nasty vitamin-deficiency conditions could facilitate trade, compel players to try new gameplay mechanics, and generally make for a more robust survival game. However, this might all be a little too hard to figure out using the game's very vague notification system. It might also be too much for the COD kiddies, whose IRL food intake is limited to Doritos and Mountain Dew.
