General Zod

Unless console players somehow convinced the devs to port the game to consoles instead of improving the PC version this isn't their fault. The only ones who are at fault here are the devs who decided to follow the greed knowing they have a game with more issues than features and instead fixing it for all of the platforms they decided that less than half assed product will be fine as long as the money comes in. It's as if you think console players don't want to play well developed, polished up games. Just because someone has less buttons to work with or doesn't have overly expensive hardware doesn't make them a casual second grade gamer. In fact the additional income from all the console sales should help devs fix the issues this games had for a better part of a decade now. Every single time a game is an unfinished buggy turd the only ones responsible for that mess are the developers. It's like a car driver hitting a pot hole and saying it's the bikers fault.

It means that I'm not blaming consoles for the state of dayz and that my post was sarcasm. The only reason DayZ is the mess it is the devs and their lack of effort in fixing this game.

That I own all of the Playstation consoles. And yes the PC is old as dirt and I'm not going to upgrade it until it dies because as of now there are no games that would make me want to spend 2k+ on a new setup. PS, I now have one 32" Benq 4K monitor instead of two 23"

If you reveal the hidden content in my signature you'll know the answer.

I heard you like nightvision.

It's because console players are filthy casuals and every game that's also available on consoles has to be dumbed down.

What ? There's literally CR's lying around everywhere and you want to exchange one for a LAR ?

That's luck on your part, my last death on official was definitely not legit, that being said in my 800+ hours I'd say I ran into maybe 3 cheaters. I don't think dayz is as flooded with cheaters as some would suggest, the problem however is that in any other game if I get killed by a cheater all I have to do is leave the match and join a different one. Which makes it a minor inconvenience, whereas in DayZ when I get killed by a cheater I lose a lot of hours if not days that where put into all the progress I made.

Any server is good for map exploration, if you want you can try some community servers that focus on PvE more so that you don't get murdered by the first person that you meet. Find a compass, open a map and explore away. I have two favourite routes I use if I want to gear up fast. (I will usually suicide if spawn to far from either) Balota spawn - easily recognised by tall apartment buildings in the background, the route goes : Balota - komarovo - kamneka - pavlovo - zelonogorks - proud chernarus - small military camp to south west Route number 2 Svetlojarks spawning on the coast with a lot of tall christmas trees or near the docks Route goes Svetlojarks - small base outside turovo - turovo - karmanovka - dobroe - now I'll follow the edge of the map and visit every deer stand and feed shack along the way - nagornoe - camping village to the south east - kamensk military base By the time you leave kamensk you should be relatively well equipped. If you still feel like exploring head west to Tisy.

None of that is going to happen, if they can't fix the cars in the time they did, asking them to add any advanced physics to the game is wishful thinking of the highest order, the best that we can hope for is that they fix the biggest problems that exist now before moving on.

Bring back the energy usage from last patch and instead make food and animals less common. Increasing it the you did now did nothing to make the game harder since food is still abundant even on populated servers, the only thing you achieved with the last change is force people to take few bites of their food every 20 minutes.

Why such a sharp drop against plate carrier between Tundra and Fal ? Also I disagree on variety of suppressors based on calibres, yes it's more realistic but there is already too many different guns, attachments and general military items in this game and devs should put their efforts else were. I doubt they will, since they probably just copy models from ARMA and pat themselves on the back as if they did a good job, but one can hope. As far as slugs go, those will hit hard. You'll often find slugs hitting at 3-4 thousand Joules which is more than 308 winchester ( I use 308 and 30-06 for hunting myself) which is around 2.7 thousand joules, while 30-06 can get as high as 3k. So withing their range slugs are nothing to joke about and they'll poke big holes so there's going to be serious bleeding. And even if you're wearing a plate carrier getting hit with a slug at close range would turn your ribs into a jigsaw puzzle and internal organs into jelly. Also AP bullets actually do less damage to soft targets (not wearing any protections) since they don't mushroom and generally fly through their target leaving small exit holes taking most of their kinetic energy with them.

The problem is that you have a 3/4 full energy bar. Eat 4 chicken steaks, wait few minutes top it up with a can of beans, you get full bar and 25 minutes later you're back at 3/4. I know things are accelerated for the gameplay purposes but give me a break, once I get two stuffed icons in a row I should at least get an hour or two before I have to eat again. Instead of making you burn through your calories so fast or the calorie reserve being so small (whichever it is) the food should be more scarce. So that it's a struggle to find enough food that you are full, but once you do, you can get on with something else. Whereas now there's plenty of food everywhere, and you have to eat all the time.

So the wiki is not very reliable. Good to know.

According to the wiki this is how it works for LAR. Weird, I've been seeing more of them lying around than AK101.

I just drank 3.5 FULL canteens while having the 3/4 full white bottle, got full stomach icon after first 1,5 waited 5 minutes while looting around, drank another full canteen, got another full stomach icon, waited again and drank half. It didn't move. It contains 1 litre of water. I drank 3.5 litres of water, while already having almost full hydration. I ran to a nearby town (maybe 5 minutes away) and my hydration level stayed the same. What in the actual fuck is this ? Camels don't drink that much and live on a desert. Also there seems to be a intermittent bug where after you eat either the energy doesn't replenish or the arrows that indicate that it is replenishing do not appear because I had two bear stakes yesterday I didn't see any arrows pointing up. Could devs kindly revert the energy to half of what it was previously ? I get what you try to do here but this is just stupid. No one can drink 3.5 litres of water in that short amount of time.

Wait what ? I swear I found quite a few of them in regular bases just lying around. Have people just been dumping them because they found something better ? Also my beef with heli crash sites is that they spawn too much common stuff. I don't expect all of them to have LARs and VSD on them but each crash site should have at least few items of value on it. Rolling up to a fresh and untouched crash site only to find items that can be found in regular bases is a joke. It just occurred to me that the reason for heli crash sites spawning garbage is probably people hoarding items in bases and stashes hidden on the map.

Hi Me and two of my mates recently did few very successful base raids acquiring 9 crates worth of high end loot including 4 NVGs. But the ease of gaining the access to those bases made us wonder if we should build our own or just keep our buried. So I think few changes need to to be made. First and foremost : increase base resistance, we play on a community server with increased base resistance and it still took only 10-11 grenades and 5 minutes with axes to get in, mind you we had to go and get more nades from a nearby base but it was still merely a 30 min job. I remember blowing up a wall with 3 or 4 on public which is laughable. Why would anyone bother spending long hours needed to find all the tools and materials to make a base only to have it blown to smithereens by a bunch of assholes (like myself and mine) in 5 minutes with a few grenades which aren't that rare. Now I'm worried that when I said increase it what you heard is make 50 stronger. No. Double it at least, if not triple. Bases are defenceless most of the time and the map isn't that big. Which means sooner or later someone will find it. And while if someone does find and puts the effort to get in they should by all means be rewarded for their efforts it shouldn't be as easy as it is now. 2. If the engine allows it, make it possible to put metal sheets on top of the wooden walls to strengthen them, even better you can make the metal sheets stronger on their own. 3. Double wall. Allow players to put planks or sheets on both sides of the fence kit. Which would effectively double the resistance of the base.

Am I the only one under the impression that this place is a ghost town when it comes to a presence of mods and devs ? We have two posts advertising porn for few days now and nothing happened.

I don't think in this case "on behalf of" means that it's the BI that requested your ban directly, but rather you were banned for breaking the rules they set up. It's like when a debt collecting agency is after you, they collect the debt on someones behalf. I don't know if you broke the rules or not, but I doubt BI requested your ban directly.

The last thing this game needs is tanks. Also given how bad vehicles work in dayz I'd say a tank would classify as a weapon of mass destruction. I got 3 stashed in barrels in some undisclosed locations, 60 round mags included.

Surely this will be extended, I don't see why would BI try and kill it's own playerbase.

Interesting, the community server I'm playing on now has no rain or overcast at all. Didn't know that the only weather options are Spain or UK.

You go through all the effort of becoming a fit and healthy survivor only to be killed by someone camping in a bush wearing full ghillie just to grief you, or better yet by a hacker. While it would add a feeling of progress to the game and satisfaction from surviving it would also add to the fuck it I'm going to play something else when you die.
