Isn't the main aim to REGAIN 0.62 - plus vehicles plus bases plus NO duping.. ? I think that sums it up about 100% ? I hope that's where we're going ? It was definitively the objective when experimental stopped and that whole bunch of items/actions were dropped and consoles turned up to "follow closely and mirror" PC development .. so say the ancient annals in WORDS OF FIRE but now my sight is vague I am senile and gray-haired and my memory grows dim .. And THEN and THEN and THEN, ONE DAY ...when the MIGHTY and full-featured < 0.62 PLUS > definitely RUNS on all 3 platforms - the devs will take it .. er.. who cares.. "wherever the hell' from THERE * Any place you can think of. * Years ago in this game I used to sling my gun and sit in the woods, make a fire and boil water in an empty tin can - and look up between the trees and watch the stars turn I know @rickyriot & SOME DEVS still know what I'm talking about xxp

Dude - are you SERIOUS ? ... well good grief !

It used to be that when an individual server calculated it's own loot economy - any gear CARRIED on your player OR STASHED in a tent or vehicle or barrel etc was NOT COUNTED in the total number for that server loot economy (it was counted as NOT existing, same as if it had left the server or been destroyed) . So if you took it off the server or put it in a barrel it made no difference, the server counted it as being NOT THERE and added more items to make up the total number IN PLAY - meaning the total number lying around and not "owned" BUT - I kind of remember "a Dev" saying that stuff stashed on the server was being .. er .. "temporarily" ..included in the total number to calculate the server loot economy - just to simplify loot economy stuff while they were revamping .. EVERYTHING. That Dev, who mentioned this as an "aside" - (that's how I understood it) is now a RIP Dev of fond memory, I don't kind of recall who it was exactly but his words stuck in my mind and may his name never be forgot. Peace bro. And that's MY understanding of where the loot economy is NOW, unless it's been changed again.. everything that LEAVES the server, and everything CARRIED by the player, does NOT count, but everything STASHED in any way on the server DOES count in the total loot economy number on THAT server .. ATM. Someone please correct me if I'm wrong or out of date. Thanx.

^ THAT exactly THAT Excitement and Fear take a breath before you log in because there is NO safe place, NO rest, NO security, NO peace - you are paranoid alert hungry fragile and your life is on a thread NOW, it can end in the next 4 seconds WHATEVER you do you will be paranoid scared vicious spooked cunning worried alert ALL the time - you HAVE to be - and it WILL NOT do you any good when you die it will be unexpected, unfair, shocking, sudden & horrible - you will run, swear, scream, bleed, kill, starve, lie, loot, shoot, steal and DIE It was a mil sim with SURVIVAL built on top of it to show you that SURVIVAL is UNFAIR - SURVIVAL can NEVER BE FAIR. the slightest mistake WILL kill you a tiny lack of attention WILL kill you experience WILL kill you a habit WILL kill you survival is bitterly unfair, it is ruthless and it does not give a DAMN about YOU. Turn your back and you DIE. Forget and you DIE. Do everything right and you DIE. a habit, water, a bush, a friend, the cold, a slope, a damn helicopter, the GAME ITSELF - WILL kill you SOON You are NEVER <a Survivor> - you are ONLY someone TRYING to SURVIVE.. You WONT make it - you WILL DIE You live in excitement and fear until you DIE, and if you don't know ANY part of that for any moment, that is the moment you DIE No 'endgame' The average life expectancy today is - 15 minutes - You want to PLAY? * THAT was a game WORTH playing Excitement and fear Dead on the road - Flies buzzing around your eyes - blackscreen You want to PLAY? xxp

The OFFICIAL list of PROMISED FEATURES as of 2018...a reminder
pilgrim* replied to 0.64 Freerider's topic in General Discussion
word ! - Gews is THE MAN -
0.62 was GOOD ... plenty versions before that were good too .. (maybe some ideas about << What is SURVIVAL>> were wandering, a bit odd and strangely deviant.. but what the hell.. they should have left more forested wilderness and not built so many towns..& etc & etc & etc & etc.. but what the hell.. ) That 0.62 was GOOD. I played the MOD was GREAT .. NO Probs = ZERO Probs with THAT game. I played until the hacks massacred it.

stabbing with a spear would work well IF it were fixed as you suggest.. An attacker with a knife or hammer, or fists, can't get close to you if you are straight-stabbing him at spear's length - also if he tries to get closer he will run himself onto the spear point. This seems great - someone will explain why it is too complex to implement. p.s. if you're interested :

TOTALLY 100% @rickyriot NOTHING on the Planet has EVER been better value or cheaper kicks for longer in MY lifetime.. AND for that one price you get ENDLESS access .. pay down once and you're ON for life, damn game STILL being updated. Don't cost ME a cent. For the last 100 YEARS this has been kif-kif a free to play and I don't think it is EVER going to shut down. Bottom Line = in fact I just bought the SA as payback for the fun I had from the Mod.. so from there on in it was and is all TOTALLY free, for my way of looking.. I would have just given them the money anyway as thanx for that MOD so .. what the hell keep complaining, keep laughing, keep suggesting, keep playing xxp

Someone please explain what duping is and why its bad?
pilgrim* replied to smudgegard's topic in Xbox
..er.. = duping 101 = OK kids : duping is an exploit if you have ever played any games you know that using an exploit in a game is not how the game is intended to play that's why they are called exploits designers try to stop exploits, people get banned for using exploits, exploits wreck the gameplay, other players hate players who use exploits ever since digital year zero everyone knows that exploits are bad for any game if you don't follow this - look up "exploit" in your free time do your own research on exploit .. whatever.. xxp -
what is the counterplay to this fair and REALISTIC gameplay ?
pilgrim* replied to MrSnoopEastwood's topic in General Discussion
if you were playing it about a decade ago how come you didn't buy it about a decade ago and save yourself some money ? - y'know just wondering -
Hope for the best is what you have always done with Windows - right back from Windows 3.0 .. Did you EVER read the Microsoft EULA ?? It says exactly "no damages for any reason" "no promise of functionality of any kind" "no money back under any circumstances " and "hope for the best because that's ALL you get". The Microsoft EULA still says the SAME today & it is A CLASSIC software EULA .. kind of totally sets the international legal standard. Check it out. - nothing stops you shouting about it though. You don't sign any NDA .. 'far as I know.

don't get over hyped this is your first week

duh - you' going to ignore my mention by quoting it or quote it to ignore it ?? I was interested by your use of "common sense" - you have the definition askew IMO. AND here's mine : Shaftesbury's seminal 1709 essay Sensus Communis: An Essay on the Freedom of Wit and Humour was a highly erudite and influential defense of the use of irony and humour in serious discussions, at least among men of "Good Breeding". He drew upon authors such as Seneca, Juvenal, Horace and Marcus Aurelius, for whom, he saw, common sense was not just a reference to widely held vulgar opinions, but something cultivated among educated people living in better communities. One aspect of this, later taken up by authors such as Kant, was good taste. Another very important aspect of common sense particularly interesting to later British political philosophers such as Francis Hutcheson was what came to be called moral sentiment, which is different from a tribal or factional sentiment, but is a more general fellow feeling that is very important for larger communities. And this is exactly the POINT of a logout delay - you are playing an MMO you are NOT playing a solo game. got it ?

<groan> " Do they not see the vast variety of inclinations and pursuits among our species; where each man seems fully satisfied with his own course of life, and would esteem it the greatest unhappiness to be confined to that of his neighbor? Do they not feel in themselves, that what pleases at one time, displeases at another, by the change of inclination; and that it is not in their power, by their utmost efforts, to recall that taste or appetite, which formerly bestowed charms on what now appears indifferent or disagreeable? Do you come to a philosopher as to a cunning man, to learn something by magic or witchcraft, beyond what can be known by common prudence and discretion? "

0.63 was ok, IMO -
do a search on "ghosting"

lucky mum Looks pretty SANE to me.. If I were doing it : - perhaps more live memory? - perhaps a second standard hard disk for storage capacity ? - then focus your SSD on the OS and running the live game files? But your setup is def correct as it stands. .. totally [ lol - I'm running DayZ on an Athlon 64 dual core 6400+, windows 7, Radeon RX 480, 8 GB memory - got 4 hard drives of games & videos & work - and an SSD to run live files. I have a quad core with better graphics right next to this but I can't be bothered to locate DayZ on that. It's fine as it stands. ] Fixed configuration consoles will always have difficulty competing with design-as-you like medium-to-top PCs. - IF what you are REALLY LOOKING FOR is Performance.

Dear Dev-Team, can we get some ANSWERS regarding the FUTURE of our beloved GAME?
pilgrim* replied to 0.64 Freerider's topic in General Discussion
What energy would you use to power your generator if "the world ever comes to an end"? steam? = ( petrol ? or coal? or wood fire ? ) - or a water wheel? - or windmills? - or slaves? - molten salt and solar mirrors ? - nuclear ? -
Look at each server population - choose a server that has any moderate to high pop = that will be daylight Enjoy try the PS4 New Player Discussion section for help
