despite the general dislikes of the "metamods" of DayZ, I thought that Taviana and Namalsk were pretty cool maps (AGAIN, not talking about metamods, just the maps).

Pros: STEAM STEAM STEAM STEAM STEAM Revamped inventory Clothing customization (HUUUUGE for potential RP) Chernarus+ Cons: No vehicles as of yet No storage options as of yet Unfortunately, a large part of the community (seeing the KOS debates, 3rd person debates, and the hubbub about the development schedule gives me brain aneurisms). Heading up Berezino or the NE airfield to find yourself completely alone, even on a 40/40 server. Why new players spawn into Berezino and choose to sprint south along the coast or commit suicide instead of running the 10 minutes it takes to hit the NE airfield. I'd suspect the majority of DayZ players at this point won't go anywhere if they can't still see the ocean from where they are.

How are these "just hire new people, duh" posts getting beans? A business, especially one that is a creative business, doesn't just hire "plug and play" employees. You don't do that. It just doesn't happen like a lot of you are assuming. As a side note, I haven't seen anywhere that the devs have stated that they've fixed the things that you mentioned.

Script for this idea: "LOOK. YOU LOOK AT THIS." *drops pants* "DON'T YOU DARE LOOK AWAY." *takes rest of clothes off* "THIS IS THE WAY THINGS ARE NOW." *drops all guns and equipment* "YOU DID THIS. THIS IS ON YOU. I WILL NEVER FORGET WHAT YOU'VE DONE" *sprint away*

If I see a gasmask+ballistic helmet combo, I assume the worst. Of course, that's what I'm wearing now, but my plan is to head to Kamyshovo to do a reverse robbery. I'm going to handcuff a bambi, then panic and take all of my clothes off and run away.

I don't understand, we've added +800 gold, development schedule should be at level 60 by now. Maybe we should have all been wearing our Amulet of Dibella first... That is how business works, right?

Charcoal tablets in the game work like charcoal tabs in real life. They're a counter measure to being poisoned. They make you violently ill, and basically turn the inside of your stomach into teflon so that none of the poison remains. They're brutal, but effective. You only take them when death is the other option.

Merino, it's people like you that give me hope for Chernarus. OP, if you're wanting to be a hero, he just laid out the blueprint above you. Be willing to help, but be ready to fight. Hope for the best, plan for the worst.

In 2 years and hundreds of hours, I've only had to kill 6 people. I take pride in being able to defuse a tense encounter without shots being fired. Being a friendly doesn't have to involve running at people screaming "friendly" like an idiot, and I'd like to think that my track record proves that.

"Friendly" used to be sort of a sacred word. Those days are now dead. The sun doesn't shine as brightly as it used to.

Best use of combat logging. He left just as the joke was slamming into everyone's ears. Godspeed you, laptop man.

Dude, I don't understand how you can be so far off of the point of this game. I'm going to make a leap of faith and say that DayZ will NEVER have microtransactions, of any sort. Doing so would kill the game faster than a script kiddie that learned how to nuke the map.

I think that's on purpose. You're supposed to have to make the choice. Spray and pray, or monotonous bolt action? You can do both, but that also entails a compromise. I like the current system, one of the many aspects in which the clunkiness of the ARMA engine helps in the immersion.

I don't know tons about ARMA III Beta, but what sorts of changes are made? The fact that it is in Beta makes me think that the changes are either cosmetic, or small tweaks. Those are the types of things that I would love to see happening in the Beta of DayZ, but right now we are playing the chassis of a game. Now isn't the time for countless small tweaks or cosmetic fixes. There are much bigger problems to fix right now, and those problems take time. I honestly don't understand the shortsightedness being shown by you two.

The game has been out for less than a month, and has had numerous updates. Are you hoping for updates every 24 hours? The money they have made so far shouldn't effect scheduling of updates, either for better or worse. Schedules are schedules, and things are fixed when they are fixed. I'm pretty happy with the frequency of updates so far. They broke some stuff over the weekend, which sucks, but a lot of it seems to have been worked out, and better solutions are likely on the way. I think some people are getting their timetables screwed up for some reason. This game has been in alpha for a month. Unrustle your jimmies and either play while watching the progress of the alpha, or don't play until beta or 1.0.
