  1. I've seen a couple of these servers, try filtering by "bandits" aka no bandits allowed or again "KoS"

    Decentralize Gun Spawn Locations

    Wow love how vague you are being I guess you just didn't want to address any of the points that I bought up, so sweep it off with a ohh ad hominem ironic. But I guess addressing the post in it's entirety would require you to think, so in the name of clarity a lot= one person, namely me people = one person, namely you so free tip, when you approach a military installation, approach from an unusual angle with lots of cover, look around, wait, look around some more, make sure your done breathing heavily from the run there. Sneak to next bit of cover look around make sure no-ones there I'm hoping you have the gist of what I'm saying cos running full tit across the tarmac of the airfield is clearly not working for you. edit:good for you xTitanx, I said that cos the OP who I was talking to was complaining that "no-one" explores, and I'm simply making the point that I do.

    Try going to your sound setting and turning up the pre-amp (i think thats what it's called) I had to do that to be heard.

    Decentralize Gun Spawn Locations

    Oh look another player who's finding life after the Apocalypse too hard and want's mummy to fix it Pretty much how I read this was, I get shot cos I'm not very good at the game but want an M4 so I can walk around and feel all manly. Here's the thing, You claim that you want weapons to spawn everywhere, but I'm willing to bet that your search for them is extremely limited. There are military installations that I visit on a regular basis because I explored the map, found place's that virtually no-one goes to and now I have a go to. There is guns and ammo all over the place in a single trek across the map I can generally find more Mosin/.357/ACP ammo then I know what to do with. So either your not looking or exploring enough or this entire post is a thinly veiled attempt to try and make the M4 spawn in a place that your not gonna die getting to. Because that's the ONLY gun you need to go to the military installations to get (pro-tip shoot someone who has one and take it) Pro's and con's lol Spreading out the "gun's" (read M4) would only encourage server hopping AND the use of third party loot maps as they become more rare with no reliable place to find them. As a result anyone carrying an M4 will KoS to keep it and every survivor with a Mosin/Magnum/FXN/Axe/Fist's wouldn't blink before ventilating their skull and taking the gun. The main reason "nobody" (read you) explore's is because by your own word's your just in a rush to gear up, personally I've been all over the map, ever seen the soccer field, the water well in the middle of nowhere the random train station north of NWAF? didn't think so Having the guns spawn in the military locations make it riskier to get them and if there's multiple squads try to get them, you have an instant firefight, between people who are equally geared and the only difference is skill! Holy shit that's not on! they should be on the coast greifing freshie's Finally you server hop/combat log/ghost because your a coward you measure yourself not by skill because lets face it you've made it abundantly clear here that you don't have any, we both know that you don't have the stone's to fight/play fair. Your only measure is how much stuff you can acquire through virtually cheating and now you come here to post that you want it made easier for you?
  6. That's what I was looking for but too lazy to look up.
  7. You can only report if they violate any rules and last I checked you could name your server *almost* anything you want.

    Cherno has been quiet the past couple days.

    I had the same thing, hell I was offing zombies at bolota airfield, maybe the last wave of battleye bans? or people are wising up and heading north to get out of the conflict zones.

    Yeah do it I'm pretty excited to find out where that base is!!

    Random Character resets...

    Always found it weird that people got their characters "randomly" wiped, but I did find out how to do it, login, enter server, change server, change server, change server, change server. Bug successfully replicated no offense but this post's happens a lot and much like you it's almost always new account created specifically to post about this. Strangely, same thing when people come to complain about "unfair" (read "well deserved") bans. I'm not accusing you of hacking either just to be clear, only pointing out an observation.
  11. Window Licker

    too much running

    Said it before, say it again, and likely a few 100 time more after this, if you spawn on the east coast run north, just do it a few time visit the shipwreck, the airfield live a little.

    Non-permadeath server option in the future?

    If you setup your own RP server and invite your friends to play, have your own forums etc, if it's separate from the public hive I don't see why anyone else would give a turduckin about what you do there.
  13. Window Licker

    Maps.

    If it was in English it wouldn't make any sense at all because the road signs are all in Russian, so that would make it even more useless, at least right now I can look at a sign and look at the map to figure our where I am, add a compass and boom instant navigational abilities.

    Changing/inconsistent bloodtypes

    If you die and come back then it's understandable that your blood type would change, your a different person.

    Changing/inconsistent bloodtypes

    I've only noticed blood type changing when I get a new character, interesting tho have to see where this goes, I hope this bring back for formal banditry, as opposed to the KoS "bandits" I haven't been cuffed in so long...

    S.T.A.L.K.E.R.S. Survival Guide [Complete] [Update on May 30th]

    Also found this little chestnut today, in your control settings under movement there is "prone" but also one called "go prone" if your moving without anything in your hands hitting "go prone" will make you dive to the ground, from either standing or crouching, if standing still it does the usual animation for prone. This is also a "toggle" so hitting it again will get you back to the position you where in before you hit it. By default this isn't bound

    Sudden realization!!!!!

    Just don't cut your tongue on the broken windows it can take some time for the bleeding to stop....
  18. In response to the constant posting of we need this or put this in the game NOW, firstly stop being a child, secondly those of you who have suggested genuine and well thought out ideas I'm sorry if you feel I have lumped you in with that crowd. Edit: This was taken from Reddit this morning posted by Rocket "you is rich, why game still in alpher?" "1 million people buying it doesn't suddenly change everything. It's been just four weeks since release, over which the biggest holiday of the year has occurred. We strongly resisted the urge to make any big changes during this period because we didn't have guarantee that staff would be available to fix very serious problems. Our plan was for the first month was to do safe fixes and then conduct a proper review in late January. This is where we will take stock of the success. Already the studio has been increasing hiring initiatives but that also takes time as well." "You said this feature was coming, but I don't see it" "The reason that all the things you want are not in, is because the release happened only four weeks ago. This period was during the major holiday of the year, on the back of a period of six months crunch. We strongly resisted the desire to make big changes during this period, as we didn't have the staffing levels to fix serious problems. The "someone with production or project management experience" people you mention make these conclusions; i.e. that four weeks during a holiday period is not a good time to make sweeping, complex, dangerous changes to a build. This build represents some cautious work from those working over the period. The more serious work has been postponed from this release, to be part of the major review occurring late January." "Fix zombies, loot, re-spawns and my game run's like crap!!" "I think you're confusing what is there with the sole content that has been worked on. The only things allows in to the build by production are those with minimal risk as we have been on skeleton manning. Our plan was always to work very hard to the release point, and then going into a period of cautious maintenance work, rest key staff, and observe the functionality of the build. It can be very tempting to rush in and make changes. But this is what caused the whole problems in the project initially. We needed to wait and see, what the key areas are. While you do identify them, you note the absence of fixes being related to the lack of project oversight. That's not the case, the only fixes we have in this build are low risk ones. server stability Will be a constant evolution. This update includes changes to the player corpse mechanics which has been a source of performance issues for us. Previous emergency patches addressed a serious problem with weather synchronization causing huge problems and mass desync. Additional fixes have been deemed too risky and are currently branched pending analysis and discussion. performance optimizations As above (client optimization is to be conducted AFTER server optimization, and is very commonly not part of early alpha development). control responsiveness Risky, requires substantial review and analysis before implementation. It is heavily tied with the existing simulation system - it's not a "turn off and replace" system - it actually requires serious changes that could introduce a multitude of problems. A solution has been proposed and a design analysis done of this, a technical review is underway once key personnel have all returned. loot spawning Loot spawning changes have been included, but only those that do not substantially change the system as we are in skeleton manning. collision detection, zombies, or even the stuff rocket said was the "top priority" (server hopping and combat logging). Just because something is top priority, does not mean that it will appear in the current patch. This is not an emergency hotfix. This is a serious of low risk fixes that occurred during a period of low-manning. The very thing you say is lacking, is exactly the thing that is holding us back from rushing our priority fixes. There is grave danger is such a situation of making things worse." TL:DR We are working on the game so chill out and give us time to assess where everything stands and what NEEDS to be worked on in the back end (servers etc) so it doesn't screw up the front end (your computer) and make the game unplayable for those of you who used the TL:DR here is some instant satisfaction www.youtube.com/watch?v=HttF5HVYtlQ Source's: http://www.reddit.com/r/dayz/comments/1vg7bu/brian_hicks_working_on_finalizing_work_on_the/ceskrza http://www.reddit.com/r/dayz/comments/1vg7bu/brian_hicks_working_on_finalizing_work_on_the/ceskufz http://www.reddit.com/r/dayz/comments/1vg7bu/brian_hicks_working_on_finalizing_work_on_the/ceskz4v

    Thank you for all the beans!!! I ate them all and can now can fly, seem to be attracting a lot of small arms fire from Electro tho only the people with gas masks on.. No really though it seems this has done nothing to calm down the repetitive threads on the forums, sorry folks I tried. "Trying is the first step to failure"- Homer Simpson

    We NEED "XXXXXX" why isn't it in yet?

    Vagina fits too.. Just saying... This wasn't ment to be a wall of text, the pink bit's are a theoretical question, The other parts are quoted from Reddit posted this morning by Rocket, if you click the links in the sources section they will take you to the quote.

    idea with eating food

    Not a bad idea at all, I know when I sit down to eat I generally eat 100% of my food then decide if I'd like more or not. They are adjusting the food system in the next patch which is going on test servers starting Monday to ensure stability. More info here http://forums.dayzgame.com/index.php?/topic/165709-pending-changelog-experimental-branch-031114343/ If your snacking every half hour then I'm going to have to say your doing it wrong, I will loot a small town and carry off every can of food and box of cereal/rice I can carry. Then I'll eat it all until I'm either full or healthy, top it off with some water. Once that's done I'll occasionally pick up cans of food but never carry more then 4 and eat them somewhere quite.. in the woods, with the trees drinking cans of soda to celebrate my cowardice.

    10 minute is not enough to loot dead bodies you put down

    You aren't supposed to get your gear back, honestly 7/10 I get shot, the shooter doesn't even loot my body, but anyway here's Brian's thoughts on the matter. http://forums.dayzgame.com/index.php?/topic/165709-pending-changelog-experimental-branch-031114343/page-3#entry1678038
