  1. @Artonix The suggestion to display the timer and allow for players to cancel it seems to be a reasonable request. I get that DayZ isn't supposed to be fair, however this 'feature' seems it's more problematic for legitimate players. An example I can give are mis-named 24/7 Daylight servers. Or, being removed from a server due to high pings. The mod had a combat timer, put one in the stand alone and as long as a character is in combat, it remains in the realm of the game. Why not just prevent the character from being removed from the game while in combat? Add laser pointers and they have the ability to 'tag' someone to put them in combat. @Dean... my immersion! :) What about, If you the player wants to log out of the game, you have to find a place to sleep and the process of falling asleep requires you to lay down and close your eyes, takes #N of seconds and as you go deeper into sleep, you lose the ability to keep an eye open or hear things...? huh!?!? maybe!? edit: Oh, and depending on how well of a sleep you have, the next time you log in will determine if you enter the game well rested or not which can effect your energy level for the entire day.
  2. On a serious note. These changes sound great and it looks like you have been spending a lot of time with your head down. It'd be cool to have an inside view of all the effort you guys are putting into this project. I can only imagine how crazy the past couple months have been for you all.
  3. This update isn't good enough. You didn't add bacon. I mean, what kind of developers do you think you are not including bacon. I mean, seriously. What's beans without bacon? I also want to be able to tap the maple trees for syrup so I can make molasses. I take my cooking very seriously and you haven't met my standards for emergent game-play. just kidding... Thanks for the update. Sounds sick.

    Next week, they'll start up on the coding tonight. I'll crack the whips to make sure it's pushed out in time with zero bugs. :rolleyes: edit: ^^ that is a joke. a very un-funny one, but isn't real.

    DayZ provides to reddit just as much as reddit helps them advertise. I don't get paid the big bucks, however I think that advertising at this point would hurt the game considering the shape it's in. Die hard fans and Bambi's (I fall into the latter category) alike will come here if they want updates. Reddit is cool, if they're paying him to post updates on the game so they can increase their click revenue :)

    I'm not sure I entirely agree with you. People are getting back from vacations and visiting family right now. Getting back into the swing of things takes a couple weeks after the holidays. At least. They're also on a hiring spree along with traning and getting a team together to build this very complex game. Think of what we have now as a blank canvas. Chill, be paitent and we'll slowly add paint to it as a community. Pushing for results is no different than those publishers who shit all over their devs for trying to force code and product out of them. At this point, I'd like to hear about how their team will be developed and which team members we address when we have concerns. I'd like to hear how flow of communications will work for the community and the dev team and how we can help best to build this game. Asking for massive updates of fixes of bugs after just coming off the holidays while trying to digest these forums and the the sheer amount of repeated bug reports during this time off is going to take quite some time. Give them a break. edit: Paying the $30 doesn't entitle you to a faster produced game.

    The amount of effort put into getting a sound into a game that still fits with the main developer's vision will always be a hurdle to overcome. Introducing people to an ongoing project takes time to do effectively so that the project still maintains it's original goals and deadlines. Since the game has just been released and organizational restructuring is happening, adding people at this time is actually very disruptive to daily tasks.

    I don't follow reddit for updates on this game, I follow these forums. Are there efforts to create developer feedback posts which consolidate these responses that are spread across multiple sources of Social Media into a thread or some kind of feed that tracks these snippits of information?

    "Windowed + Fullscreen"

    It's known as a lot of things depending on the last game you played and what that developer called it :) It doesn't 'remove' it. His trick works by forcing the game to the center of the screen and into the appropriate resolution for the monitor to make it seem as though the border is gone. It doesn't force the game on top so you need to hide your taskbar. It also doesn't take in account for second monitors where the border bleeds over to the other one and causes huge performance issues as your graphics card gets confused thinking you're running the game on both display devices. I take that back, it does remove the border and center it, but keeping focus isn't working. An actual true "Windows + Fullscreen" (or borderless, whatever) removes the border, centers the window and forces it on top as the focus. It requires a little effort and the idea the guy posted here in this thread is close. I've also used programs which force windows borders away and assist in setting the proper focus for a program so that it remains on top of my taskbar, However, the option in the graphics settings is something specific and developers who work on games understand the criteria to meet the specific function.

    "Windowed + Fullscreen"

    I spend a lot of time alt+tabbing and have dual monitors. Clicking back and forth between the game and other applications as I multitask with the game as a full screen application does all kinds of crazy things to my PC. Other games I've played have used Windowed + Fullscreen make lives so much easier but keep the game in it's native resolution while hiding the shell borders. Are there plans to implement this? There have been requests made, but it was in general discussion: http://forums.dayzgame.com/index.php?/topic/72402-windowed-mode-full-screen/

    Why won't you fix the mouse?

    I don't know the exact terms so I'm going to try and describe what feels like is happening here because I too have experienced this. The calculation doesn't feel as though it scales with the resolution. When you're at a lower resolution, the math to accelerate your cursor hasn't changed so it has less pixels to cover when you move your mouse. Like, the acceleration math remains consistent no matter your resolution, so when you lower it, you have less 'distance' to cover with your mouse to move your head/body. @the people complaining about it. In real life there are limitations to how quickly we can move our body. So, even if 'acceleration' were turned off, there would need to be some kind of human animation you'd need to wait for in order for you to do a 180 and see behind you, The best example I can give is how you get over objects in this game as opposed to others. With this game, you climb or vault over objects which is more in-line what you would do in the real world. In other games, 'hit space and insta jump from a prone position while doing a 360', which is... well, not really a characteristic of a normal human being.
  12. This would take a LOT longer than an axe or even a can opener. But uh, why not?

    I'd be on board with closing off the alpha and calling it a pre-order till beta. I'm patient.

    Why won't you fix the mouse?

    I absolutely resented the mouse acceleration when I first started playing the game. However, when I got used to just chilling out with my movements, the game become more natural to play. I had to learn how to play this game and remind myself I'm not playing Counter Strike or Crysis. With other FPS games, the ability to do a 720noscope420swag from across the map can be fun, it tends detach from actual gameplay, immersion and realism. Have some beans.

    It's counter productive because at this stage, reproducing errors multiple times over and over is more important than trying to hinder that process to force people who are doing simple graphics settings checks a timer before they can exit the game to do so. An even easier answer is that there are much larger fish to fry in terms of actual game content and engineering that needs to be put into place before this. Like, would you rather vehicles to be re-introduced, or have less clipping with the walls, or zombies to stop walking through them, or stuff disappearing from inventories, the things that make the game physically unplayable, not philosophically?
