This is a problem I agree. People who restrain, make demands and rob others only to shoot them in the face eventhough they complied with your orders are just as much, if not more, detrimental to the deeper social aspects of this game than the KoS, do not interact, only kill types.

I totally understand. I really hope they give us a reason to almost be happy or excited to see another survivor but of course still remain cautious. I was moreso implying on what I think the game should be but I totally understand your thought process with the game in its current state.

I understand the ultimate goal is to survive, but EVERYONE is really just buying time. The best moments that can be had in this game is usually interacting or adventuring with total strangers whether it ends bad or good for you. It is so easy to gear up and everyones items are ruined even from one mosin bullet to the head so I only KoS out of panic, or being startled but I hardly kill someone who is just minding their business (perhaps situationally) but instead try to initiate some kind of interaction with them and it makes the game for more interesting in my opinion. If you interact with no one but people you already know and just kill everyone you see I imagine you will be burned out by this game in only a few months, not saying that was what the OP was implying however.

I think people who do not surrender when someone has the drop on them or they are unarmed take a really special aspect out of this game. Basically what makes this game what it is, is the social interactions that at least attempt to emulate peoples' behaviors if thrown into this environment in real life. Of course it is a game and people can play how they want but it seems you want the game to devolve further into this just shoot everything you see ask questions later or not at all mentality which is causing this alpha to become stale. I hope that changes as more "goals" are added because a whole year or so of this before beta might not spell a great future for this game and I believe EVERYONE wants to see the full potential of this game realized. If you are not willing to do even a minor bit of roleplaying DayZ is probably not the game for you plain and simple. But that is just my opinion.

Sigh... No. Just no. Its this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=svFdT9XXAGQ

If i am wounded and my guy is wincing in pain, I have put alchol on my wounds and once i get the green "My wounds are cleaner" my guy has stopped wincing in pain eventhough it never said they were infected. Unless it was coincidence I would say alcohol tincture is useful.

Someone who hunts bambis for the lulz is not a "Bandit". A true Bandit will take your valuables and let you live so long as you complied with his orders.

Well the fact that they made it very difficult for your run-of-the-mill player to gear up now, bambis are going to take every shot they can to gear up quick. Stay away from them at all costs lol.

There are Normal and Hardcore servers now. You can see in the server list. It appears Hardcore servers you start fresh.

I just downloaded the patch and now my game opens up in a HUGE resolution. When I go to options it says its on 1920 x 1080 so I tried changing it and then putting it back but it seems no matter what it stays at the same resolution now. Whats going on?

I have been streaming gameplay to twitch ever since I got my GTX 770. I have no problems streaming every other game in 1080p with no problems however when trying to activate Shadowplay while in DayZ it just does not work. The game just freezes for like 10-20 secs and then the indicator pops up in the bottom corner with a red slash through it for a second and goes away. I see other people on Twitch streaming DayZ SA however I do not know if they are using Shadowplay or something else, but I assume it isn't merely an optimization thing with the game/client itself and there may be something I can do on my end to resolve it. Anyways, if anyone has had this issue and has been able to fix it, any help is appreciated. Stream is http://www.twitch.tv/MTclipz (Starts 5pm est) if anyone cares to watch it (Although you will only see BF4 and Dark Souls until I can resolve this!) Sorry to shamelessly promote this is really about the Shadowplay issue.

Thanks for the workaround GeordieMarv, ill try it when I get home and post back here. Yeah I wish Shadowplay didn't completely shut off when you are not in Fullscreen. Would probably fix alot of these issues when Nvidia is able to support windowed mode for Shadowplay.

That is not utilitarianism, but regardless morals ARE subjective. Let me guess, you reject what he said because some old story book told you to?

Is this happening to anyone else? It is very frustrating and it is happening no matter the server or where I go. I basically travel for about 5-10 mins and then suddenly I get teleported back near where I started and the game is frozen and I can only alt+f4. Yeah yeah its alpha but I can't even play like this. Just been happening recently but it won't stop. Does anyone know something I can do to fix this?

Earlier at Balota tents I shot a guy clear in the head and when I went to loot him I noticed EVERYTHING on his was ruined. This is just one example of me seeing this happen from a single headshot but other times it doesn't. I've shot people with multiple bullets from an M4 or pistol and only a few things are ruined, but when headshot ruins everything? I just do not understand how to know what you will damage if you shoot someone or where to put your belongings in case you get shot.

Anytime I die, I can never just hit respawn and show up back on coast or wherever. It just says Please Wait... with a black screen for seemingly forever. I always have to exit the server and then hope I remember what it was called to rejoin it. Most of the time have to join a different one which is annoying. Is this a known bug that others experience?

Ah ok makes sense, thanks!

So this being a "Zombie" survival game or rather wild west shoot out with jeans and motorbike helmets laying around w/ zombie sounds coming out of nowhere, how come people do not become zombies when they die? Or when you are attacked by a zombie you should have to find a certain medical item to keep you alive and not "turn". Could add a cool element to the game where you meet a survivor but then realize he is bitten and you have to worry if he will turn. However, for that to work the zombies would have to be actually a threat beside just giving away your position. Yeah yeah its alpha so do not criticize or make suggestions :huh: , but just some thoughts.

That was an accident which is why I edited it. Do not be so quick to judge. Damn apples...

Well if getting shot in the face without so much as a word or a gesture is a social interaction, maybe you are onto something...

Well even in 28 days later people turn. I would just like to see this game become a true zombie survival game and not a military survival simulator or whatever you want to call it. The standalone should not try to be like the mod just with slightly better graphics and animations and less bugs (eventually)... they should really do something innovative.

Ummm... wow you are sensitive. I think what he said is a very useful notion and I do not see why you think he is being an elitist a**hole with this comment. Like please explain why this made you so emotional...

Nice post. Yeah the dispersion is terrible and when you factor in situational circumstances and player twitch and panic, it is extremely bad. Its actually bad to the point where less accurate people have a better shot of hitting a target if you know what I mean. Anyways here's my beans! Sorry only 74% left, stupid Fireaxe...

No you are definitely not. I have had friends constantly say you hear that?! IS that you???! Someone is eating/drinking. And no one is there or they are hoping to servers to eat and log off. However I myself have experience constant zombie sounds in the middle of nowhere with no zombies in sight pretty much all day.

This game needs more of this. Just wish the non imaginative, non creative, dull & dense KoS baddies would realize how much better this game would be with more of this. Here's my beans. Gotta catch me slippin' for my shoes though B)
