TEST_SUBJECT_83

It would be cool to look for a switch in the dark and have light to loot in, but it would make no sense whatsoever. The only way a light switch could work in DayZ is if a generator was part of the equation.

LOL!

You wanna no the big secret that will stop you from getting KOS? Get good at the game!

Once improvised weapons are implemented like the bow and arrow, military spawns will be "incredibly rare" which means the people with the M4's and SKS's will be the minority and will think twice before shooting unless there sure they will make it out alive. Losing your rifle will be much more devastating then it is now, where you can currently get a rifle in less than 30min as of now. I can't wait when this happens! ;)

Me too! It matters! A pristine clothes can save you from bleeding when hit once maybe twice by a zombie. Everyone should get used to eating pristine food only because it's gonna matter soon. A ruined can of bean will most likely get you sick when the conditions for food are working.

When the pen and paper return you can hide it somewhere and leave a treasure note for someone to follow :) and yes it is coming back, Dean had no idea it was not working. http://www.reddit.com/r/dayz/comments/1vxjqr/rocket_wasnt_aware_paperpen_was_broken_until/

My bad, I mis read or something, so in that case I guess it would be a good idea but I would say no guns or ammo of any kind for sure. food, water, and a compass or something along those lines I could see.

^does anyone know whats causing the white boxes around some of the texts in my last post?

Ok, now you've realized you came at the problem the wrong way, great! and this time you almost even asked the question "when will i be able to play without the possibility of loosing the character " but added "i was expecting an answer____so that i can get back to playing my game" at the end. But anyways the answer to your question is not available to us yet, and when it is you will know because you wont be losing your character anymore. :) Next time try something like: "Hey guy's has anyone heard anything about fixing the bug that wipes our characters? It's been really annoying, gonna be awesome when it gets fixed."

LOL! that shit happens to me all the time. Quite annoying indeed. I to hope the zombie clipping with get patched soon. These zombies just have magical abilities at the moment, thats all.

I heard that Dean is looking into implementing some kind of "hooks" to put on your backpack that you can hang a weapon from. I will look for a quote and post a link if I can find one. I got the info from a friend that I play DayZ with.

Though i lost it so many times this is the first time that it made me that much angry that i had to complain,and this is me just expresing my opinion smart ass im not whining or crying im reporting a bug as i recal that's the purpose of alpha You cant purchase an game in Alpha that gives you a clear warning both before buying it and before you can even start playing and expect to come on the forums and whine, yes whine you were clearly butthurt about losing your character again came here to vent, and expect someone to say "yes sir, will get right on that" The devs are working hard on this and don't want to and will not rush it. It wont even be in Beta until the end of this year, so be patient. Yes you have the right to report a bug, but the way you did it was childish and very unproductive. So if you want to be treated like an adult with some respect, then please act like one.

Great post! I really agree with you "secondary and primary" part. If you have a sidearm in a backpack it isn't really a side arm it's just a gun in a backpack. But, what my idea is, is if you have the pistol strap on and the pistol hotkeyed, then it will become a side arm and you can quickly press the hotkey and immediately switch to it. I would also like to the pistol strap to allow you to shoot on ladders, in trade of not wearing a vest with double the slots.

Why? Why would 2 9v batteries take up 2 slots? Batteries are extremely small. Maybe only 3 can be stacked at a time. Like rages can be in stacks of 6. After you wad 6 rags together it becomes bigger than a slot. Batteries and anything very small should be stackable up to a certain number. IMO.

Diving for clams? Yummy! Without a textured seafloor it would be quite boring under there. If it did happen, it would be well after Beta I would assume.

I dont get it? Why would you want to bury something? For later? Later when? If it's not persistent (which it shouldn't be) then whats the point? I'm gonna bury some water in case I stumble by that spot again? I guess? We just need camps and base building. I could see metal detectors when backpacks conditions start working. When they do a ruined backpack will drop contents randomly, and looking for shit on the ground is extremely hard, even an M4 that 2ft away. I just don't see the point of burying anything, and without a GPS locator to find it, you will be looking for it until the server resets. Just my opinion, to each is there own.

I know the Arma engine is limited in certain ways but I really hope they can implement stuff like this.

Wrong! http://www.reddit.com/r/dayz/comments/1vxjqr/rocket_wasnt_aware_paperpen_was_broken_until/

your weapon doesnt have to be put away to use a map? If you have it hotkey'ed then you can bring it up at anytime, even when a weapon is in hands.

IT"S ALHPA! Nothing anyone can do except file a bug report and wait. This is obviously not the way it's going to be. I've lost countless characters and not once came in here to whine about it...why? Because it does nothing! Not trying to be a know it all ass,but c'mon man, you must have known all this before you made this topic....for the 100th time

How about this? If the enemy cant be seen in FPP, then said enemy wont be rendered in 3PP until they peek or turn around the corner. Or, you can implement invisible walls for the camera, so if your against a wall the camera will stop before it lets you see over or around it? The ladder being my choice. I personally despise 3PP and wish it removed from the game completely, but I know and except that that will never happen. DayZ should be a FPP game period, but it's not so people need to except it and think of constructive solutions or just shut up, because bitching and moaning isn't gonna get us anywhere.

This is DayZ...you can play however you want. Get over it people, KOS will ALWAYS be in DayZ. Plus without that fear, it would be boring.

I may agree with that, but you are allowed to be down right cold in DayZ. There is no right or wrong way to play DayZ. I to think to myself when I get sniped as a fresh spawn' "man that guys a fucking douche for killing me with no weapons and no threat to him" But that's DayZ, you have the choice to be whatever kind of player you want. Honestly, without that fear of being KOS at any moment. DayZ wouldn't be half as fun to play.

Hand radios work as of the latest patch. Once you put a battery in them you can change it to a certain frequency (there us a lot to choose from) Once you and your buddies all have radios tuned to the same frequency, then you just press < and > to change it to that frequency. It works just like direct chat. That way you dont have to hotkey it and stop to talk to someone. It just works the same way TS or in game chat. IMO, I would like TS, Skype or any outside communication to be banned somehow from the game now that hand radios work so well. As authentic as DayZ is, IMO outside communication is the same as cranking up your gamma at night or using 3PP. (Don't get you panties in a bunch, it's just my opinion.)

Honestly I think most of the animations are too clunky and look awful. Until the animations can look good and seem authentic, I would rather have a bar that fills up slowly that represents the time it takes to do something. For example, if you wanted to change clothes you drag over a new pair of pants, and instead of you changing instantly a bar would fill up while you hear the sound of clothing rustle. Or instead of a bar we could have your arms flail around your body? Either way, it's still early and I can guarantee there is something on the to do list that involves animations. So I'm not to worried at the moment.
