Oh look another one of these threads. That makes # 10213081239281031 I think.

You literally just got done describing what DayZ ISN'T about.. Also, I love when players claim to speak for "most of the players" as if they know. This game isn't, and was never meant to be easy by any means and if you can't handle that, then why did you buy it?

Gave you beans for that bit alone.

Considering no acknowledgement to the facts stated here, I'm pretty sure this is a troll thread. 4/10 because I actually thought for a sec that you were asking a legit question.

that gif. what's it from?

This..... Drinking disinfectant and using it to.. I don't know... DISINFECT things, are different. The need to explain this fact is a little worrying to me.

u wot m8 Which is what I said right from the OP. I was just saying that just because they have more money doesn't mean they will magically be able to throw money at the computer and spawn DayZ updates. Not only that, but just because they can afford to hire more people now doesn't mean they can or want to. Don't try reading in between lines that aren't there. All I said was that having money does not mean that your product just skips years of development. And although I went to college for game programming, I am currently in non-gaming related software development and there is a lot of red tape with any software development - no matter what company you're with. Not to mention, they could have tons of money to throw at new programmers, artists, etc. but maybe people aren't willing to move to where they are located, or maybe they aren't getting as many applicants as they need, maybe the people they're meeting with aren't what they're looking for quality or personality wise. There's a lot that goes into this, so please don't "Wow, just wow..." me when you clearly aren't understanding what I mean by "money doesn't mean software magically appears in front of you." Thanks.

I see no benefit in killing players I don't need to. Most of the time I avoid being seen but if someone gets the jump on me 9 times out of 10 I just run. Especially since I don't play on all-day servers or server hope I am not going to risk losing my stuff to someone gamma cheating or someone getting decked in 30 minutes just to screw with people they find, Like Turkey above me said, I will defend myself any time I can but I will not shoot someone in the back unless they've shot at me first and I pursuit.

Generic FPS's and casual modes on games like Arma & Red Orchestra have these "STONE COLD NUMBERS" for health. If you don't like the system or think it takes too much away from the game then I mean.. there's plenty of other games out there? As far as you getting horrible FPS and typical alpha lag like everyone else, I'd say get a better PC while you're waiting for updates if you don't want to have such low FPS. Or follow one of the many guides in the forums or Youtube to fix your framerate.

Like most in here, I disagree with the OP. And calling it a problem is just... what? It's part of the game - it lets you know you better patch yourself up since there's no health indicator (a number or percent, anyway) in the game.

I'm not defending anyone. I work in software development and I always get a kick out of people thinking that extra cash means cutting the development time so drastically.

Okay you accounted for modeling. Now account for sound, animation, programming (AI, UI, systems, weapons, zombies, item conditions, food, hunger, thirst, etc. etc....), increased resources, anti-cheat, improved server stability, increased server capacity and everything else that goes into a game like DayZ and tell me how doubling staff will magically reduce the game's development cycle by a year (lol).

Despite what Activision has taught you with Call of Duty, games are not usually released on an annual basis and takes years to develop. DayZ is being built from all new framework in mind using hardly anything (if anything at all) from the mod. The reason CoD has a new game every year is control c + control v on the source code and editing a few models / names of maps & weapons. Normal games do not work this way - nor should they. So if you really think it's unreasonable for a game developer to take this long on a game, you need a reality check because it's not really that long, we're just seeing it at an earlier stage than we see most games. More food for thought: most games are kept in the dark until their alpha / beta builds are ready which means we only see the short span from alpha / beta -> finished release - which is usually a year or less. Because of this most people think that whenever a game is shown, it should only be a year or less for it to come out. Remember, however, that we're in the VERY BARE-BONES EARLIEST POSSIBLE BUILDS for DayZ - meaning absolutely everything is still ahead of it as far as development is concerned. And once again, if you enjoy playing rushed, half-assed games that had a deadline and gave in to community QQ to release it ASAP, I invite you to play Battlefield 4, Diablo 3, or 9 randomly chosen games out of 10 that were released in 2013 and chances are you'll be playing a rushed, underdeveloped, full-retail price game. Also remember that we're never playing the most up-to-date build of the game. Ever. There is always a version of the game that is better than the one we're playing that may just not be ready yet. So cool your jets, be patient (I know, such a hard concept for gamers these days... or people in general) and play other games until more content is added if you don't find the current offering suitable. Enjoy. Edit: Also, saying "fuck you" to the developer is... you know what... no I'm not even going to explain. If you can't see what's wrong with this then nothing I say will do anything useful anyway. Also, for the record, Bohemia never created any FPS's - let alone "hardcore" ones. They create military sims. CoD, Battlefield, CS, and the like are FPS's. The Arma series of games are sims. There is a difference.

We need to go deeper.

I agree. If someone wants modding, they can go play the mod.

I never run with my fists up and I never desync hardcore to where I actually teleport back to where I spawned in. I've seen complaints of this and streamers affected by this; all of them are double tapping W with their fists raised.

What is loot tetris? I never played the mod and I'm new to SA and I see that phrase being slung around all the time.

Ignore the simpletons. I thought the poem was pretty funny and I actually get what you were going for.

I'm sure you're not wondering to try and exploit something.

You had me until .50 cal. There does not need to be a .50 in this game.

I love when people ask that. Not only when they ask, but ask and then say that they want to kill them. Gee, someone just asked me what server I'm in and said they want to kill me. BETTER TELL EM!!! ....Seriously, people?

I guess so. Just kind of lame that he basically is just telling people "Hey do this for a good way to walk and shoot through everything!" Oh also, @OP - These are cheaters, not hackers. Can the internet please start using these two terms correctly? Script kiddies and mouth breathers who remove game files to gain an advantage are not hackers - they are cheaters. Thanks.

Who the... what? WHAT? Why would whoever made that ticket not put it as private? Why not just tell everyone how to cheat? -_____-

Your stomach may have other plans for you.

Oops double post.
