LaughingJack (DayZ)

Just from the wording, thats my guess: If you play on a server for more than 30 minutes, and immedatly weant to join another one, you get a small timer. The shorter you've stayed, the longer the timer up to 5 minutes. And yeah randomn game freezes, "DayZ stopped working", Server restarts etc. can happen - but meh, if you want to play, you'll sit out that up to 5 minutes until you can join again ;)

I don't KoS but I can answer that ;) a) people are bored, because they can gear up extremly fast ( and even faster with server hopping) and after that ,there is not much more to do besides killing other players b) if you kill everyone you see, you'll will not be killed by them if they see you c) Maybe they have something - so kill them first, so they can't combatlog and check what's left on their bodies. d) Some maybe just don't have a clue that DayZ is not an FPS... At least point c will be better after the next patch (all "ruined" staff no more useable -and things get ruined if you are shot) and the logout timer...so both parties have in that case something to worry about.

If it hasn't been done already, please don't hesitate to do it - feedback is always important. :) But to add my 2 cents: I never had this problem/experience. Only some regular servers have a problem for me - they are not connected to the hive it seems, so i always start as a new spawn on them....

Changelog has been updated: http://forums.dayzgame.com/index.php?/topic/169526-pending-changelog-experimental-branch-033114782/?p=1722346 And yes, afaik everything that closes the game or cancels the connection like alt+f4, killing process, pulling routercable will lead to the same thing: Your character sitting for 30 seconds until he gets logged out.

1) there are...I don't know...5 or 6 threads now about hopping, combat logging and ghosting fix in the new patch... just sayin'.... 2) a)If you keep running in one direction HOW the hell should the one guy logout, change server, run FASTER than you (+the amount it time it took to change the serv twice), login again, turn around and come from the other side? B) WHY the Hell where you not changing directions? c) Why the hell did you not shoot? (I'm also against KoS, but if they attack me - I may be naive and friendly but I'm not suicidal ;)) d) Now if he logs out he has to wait 30 seconds. game closes. new server. For quitting he gets into queuing line, worst case he was for some tiome on the server and doesn't have to wait...just, lets say, some seconds. Log in in another server, run faster than you always in the same direction, log out, wait 30 seconds for logging out join first server again now he gets into the que and has to wait minutes... That is NOT enough for you to escape? And if you have a weapon: shoot. If you have a weapon and dont want to shoot: put it on your back, put your fists up an SPRINT.

Its nothing in your inventory, it's serverside, and we all are experiencing that bug (alpha). And the game doesn't pause ;) And its not helemets it was the berets and some damaged-metal whatevers. But according to the latest patchnotes (experimental now) it should be gone...

Not that I'm with the OP in 3 of 4 points, but why so mean? Make a joke or a parody at least but dont slay him with one word... To the OPs points: 1. No public Hives! It is already be dealt (well it has begun) with server hopping in the latest experimental branch and if...I mean when the new spawn system works, the majority of the people will not be "forced" to server hp - because it will be pointless. Als Ghosting and Combatlogging should now be harder with the 30 sec. logout timer. And btw. I like the Hives. Thats where the zombies live. (Resident Evil...?^^) 2. Random Events Atr least Airdrops will not be implemented, as mentioned before. 3. Zombies Actually I like the "grab and hold" idea - but alread brought up I think 5 or 6 times here. Hopefully something like this will be implemented. 4. Gear storing system Will come, tents not (or not soon), all I was heard was the word "stash"...what in fact can mean anything... 4. First person perspective only Hardcore hive/servers?^^

Wow. That direct comparison when watching both vids at the same time, to see only how much the playermodel animations have changed is awesome - never noticed, that it's such a huge change until now.....have my beans, good Sir ;)

Shopping carts sound great - can't believe I didn't think about this when I looted the supermarket last time ;) And extra-beans for using a Schwarzenegger vid ;)

Wrong word? Sry - I'm not a native english speaker...hm...leo.org says, it should have been "lower jaw" or "mandible". My bad. And if you log out, the Zeds are free again? Or should they stay where you left? ;)

Oh, poor holly.... And I have to withstand to make a joke about "having plenty inside her head"...must...withstand...

Since moving interrupts handcuffing, i think its not really possible...hm...maybe if you sneak up from behind... "...I don't want to kill you, but Winston is hungry...." - "You named it WINSTON?" ....somehow i love that idea XD Remembers me off the walking dead where two zeds without underjaws were kept as pack mules...

Always remember: You share close to 99% of your genes with a chimpanzee and still 60% with a banana. ...wait a second...rotten bananas? No way. They are infected! But as I read my last post,I thought...well its an over the top suggestion, but why not bring it. Some danger in the woods would be fine - apart from russian bears, sibirian tigers and starving wolves... And this should be moved to the suggestions Sub^^

Yeah but DayZ zombieapes would throw with their feces, steal your backpack and AFTER that come back and try to eat you alive - after they jumped you from a tree. City=danger; woods=peace? Not anymore my friend, the chimps are coming... XD

Meh. Since there are 2 berry-thread snow, I'll leave that here, with the same question: Can somebody verify that (if somebody finds a testserver working again ;)) http://forums.dayzgame.com/index.php?/topic/168658-berries/?p=1724731

Hm...I still want zombieapes in the woods. Zombiechimps, zombie-orang-utans and zombiegorillas.If you carry a banana you are in deep deep trouble my friend...and if not, also. Why? Just to make Zombieapebrain on ice, served in the head.

Hm...I see it now...A Zoo in Chernarus. Zombie-Apes in the Zoo and the woods. Attacking from the trees. Throwing feces and stealing bananas...and brains. And Zombie hordes roaming around / in the cities are on the devs roadmap afaik.

*chewing on his beret because the nutrition value changed* mhm...tastes like chicken... Or wait, do you need a barret to find baies? (My french is a bit rusty, sry...) A red one for strawberries, a blue one for blueberries? It all starts to make sense now...

Rumors are spreading that berry bushes have been spotted yesterday/today (whatever timezone you are in) before the experimental servers went down... Ah and the red arrow in the second picture...it's been said that there is no menupoint atm for "picking berries" so you just get a grey circle...(doesn't look real to me, but well...) ...not sure of hoax or real, but maybe someone else can confirm this?

That's so straight, you must be a straight black girl from Australia. Something like this example I gave is forbidden? Just asking and checking if you still dont read posts... (Disclaimer: I hate all people the same, no matter what culture, sex, sexual orientation, race or beliefs they have, it doesn't matter to me, even if you are a blue dendrophile hermaphrodite from the moon. Except for Anchovys. Bah. And Misanthropists. Whats wrong with them?) Nah, I'm just playing, sry couldn't resist, but the "I'm not going to bother to read those far too long and, in my view, pointless posts" thing was again something that confused me. I don't wanna tell you how to behave as a a part of the Forum team or anything, but writing something like this is shooting yourself in the foot, in my honest opinion...sure its too much to read and too much useless trash (and the fun thing: since nobody is able to use the search function its the same useless trash over and over again! Yay!) in this forum, but saying that you dont read too long posts is strange for a FTM. btw. the too long posts - except for my first one which was 90% a parody - are about the point that is discussed in the thread, so they are not pointless... Back 2 business: @ Deepfryer: Maybe you want to read the latest posts before you reply. I was also...well let's call it "not noble" to jovlon because of his choice of words and his assumptions, but especially in his last post he explaines a lot, that may help you understand him. I still not share the beliefs in the OP but I can understand his concerns. @Jovlon: Yeah, I know that: You discuss something with friends and colleagues and then write about it, without mentioning some things that would be important for the readers to understand because they are total basics to you, just because you discussed them over and over. First sentences: Yes, totally agree with you. Second Part...again: only from what I read here, on reddit, twitter and heard in streams, the focus of the team is...well... http://forums.dayzgame.com/index.php?/topic/156129-confirmed-upcoming-features-for-dayz/ I'm pretty sure you know that, but I bring it up, because it shows (I interpret it that way) the focus of the team. Everything else - sodas, shorts, spraycans - is nice and good to have, but not made by the core programmers (see my signature ;)) Regarding experimental builds: There are just a few testserver, so there is a limitation. And if it doesnt crash anything real bad (Like it happened this time - no spawning possible ;)) it will go into stable branch of the alpha so that it will be tested with a large group in a huge variety. As said before - its an Alpha. As customer of the Alpha, we test the updates and report back. And play ;)

Regarding Ghosting & combatlogging? You could look at this: http://forums.dayzgame.com/index.php?/topic/169544-new-patch-thoughts/?p=1722734 ;) Edit: This 30 second timer will be afaik additional to the queing system. And also: Ha. This time I'm the ninja :)

HunterJay: I wear my beans under my helmet. Your argument is invalid. ;) WindowLicker: Well...I don't know. I just quote the Dev team ^^ But if you ask for my opinion: yes, i think they may also be included in that. It sounds to me like a global implementation rather than an item-specific (like: if object.ruined=true then allowActions=false ^^)

You obviously watched videos for the Arme II Mod DayZ (and I think for the Mod "Echo" of the Mod) NOT for the Standalone version - because the Standalone version does not have any form of playermade buildings in it at the moment. It is on the roadmap and will be implemented, but that may last some time, maybe months. Edit: Damn, stop ninjaing me -.-

Totally right - but I didn't say that people should bandit for food. What I meant was: IF they bandit for food, they can't shoot at their victims, because that would ruin the loot. And the victims can't combatlog, so there will be more interactions. And that is excellent ;) But I understand your point - i normally carry one or two bags of powdered milk and/or a pack of rice with me. Even if I get real hungry, I just need to find a well because of the waterloss when consuming. And a smaller stomach or rarer...people are already bitching about it. I don't say it would be bad, I just say: they whine already that they cant find food/that they cant find enough food. Or a can opener. Or a server with 0 people online and daylight that restarted 5 minutes ago...and a M4 in the hands and 20 people nearby that don't kill on sight, but whom they can kill... I've read too many threads in this forum.

Yeah but think about that: So you have to rob them and not to shoot them, because the precious food will be ruined if you do it...and since they can't combatlog because you could kill them...a massive player interaction instead of killing is coming if it works as planned....
