First, I'll say you guys are doing a good job with the game. It has a solid foundation but I think you guys are making some poor decisions. Updates too big - your trying to fix too many things at once and when you create a new problem, it gets complicated to fix. I get the pressure people put on you when an update isn't release on release day but releasing a buggy game is worst than having us wait. Plus, if they want to play it so bad, they can play it in the testing mode. The game is now unplayable, it takes forever to connect to a server, everyone's always getting session time outs and then you have to wait forever because of the whole server logging timer. That's actually the next thing I wanted to talk about. I like the idea to stop people from looting every server but the game is so buggy that between game crashes (last patch) and sessions lost (this patch), we're constantly stuck waiting 5 mins - penalized when it's the games fault. What's the reason behind waiting 30 seconds to respawn after you die anyways? I think that logging times should be removed for the time being. You should also consider only having one after 2-3 server hops if the player was only on for a few minutes. Most of the time I'm logging servers to play with friends anyways. Gearing up was always fairly quick to do. Your spending too much time on useless features like cooking food, clothes getting wet (seriously who cares.. it's always raining in this game now) and now broken arms. What's the point in adding broken arm feature if I can still reload, use and axe, etc. I get that your trying to make this game as real as possible but stop being so picky on specifics. That being said, I really don't understand the random server noises. I think those need to be removed from the game because it's annoying and contradicts the whole realism vibe your going for. It also wouldn't hurt if you increased footstep sounds. If you think about it, eating and walking are quite comparable (depending on walking surfaces and type of food) so why should I hear someone eat/drink 25 yards away and only hear them walking 7-10 feet away. Key things you should be working on rather than adding new features are: 1. Zombies being able to run through walls and attack through floors. 2. Roof ledges not stopping players from falling off roofs. 3. Badly damaged canned food going ruined after opened with can opener (has happened to me several times). 4. Setting up tents/campsites. (not a priority but rather see that than other useless features)

GafMast They've been consistently updating the game on a monthly basis and doing a decent job so I don't know where your getting this 6 months. Smaller updates could allow them to update weekly. I'm simply suggesting they do make sure something works before releasing it. Yes... this is alpha. That doesn't mean they should release something that's not working as it should. MGC: I realize that what I may think is useless, another may think is important but the main thing here is to fix the main problems of the game before tackling new things. That doesn't mean having everyone work on the same thing. It simply means putting more effort in one area while others develop new features of the game. Oh and come on dude... no ones skill set it limited to adding different types of food or as specific as that. These people are game developers that went to good schools and have been taught much more than that.

Honestly figure it out.. our characters reset every 10 mins. This game is now pointless to play. Please add vehicles or at least bicycles so that we can get around. It's really annoying having to run 15 mins to get where you want.

I can read just fine thanks. In fact, it says "We will be working with the community to fix these, to help us, please visit dayzgame.com for development." Am I not part of the community? This is my opinion and I'm trying to help so stop being so emotional. These guys are doing a good job with the game but the last update is simply stressful to play for the simple fact that your character is always being reset. Additional testing is definitely required if I was able to find these problems after playing the game for 20 minutes. I understand the complexity of some issues. I have tested games in the past. I'm realistic and certainly don't expect things to get better overnight. All I'm saying is if your going to release an update, test it so that the game is in fact improved. That's the whole point of updates after all.

Alpha!? You don't say... They're clearly not testing all that much now are they. Character resets and the shotgun are perfect examples of that. My buddy took like 10 shots to the face and didn't die. Plus if you knew anything about this game you would know that they only went to alpha to raise money to develop the game. Pretty sure that was taken care of the first day by selling $5.1 million worth. I really do enjoy playing this game, I'm just trying to get things going. Your all a bunch of sucks ups and need to grown some balls. Sure there are a few important glitches to work out but the game play was fine and they took a few steps back. I don't expect there to be thousands of vehicles, that would be too easy. In regards to the vehicles response: If you paid attention to my post, I requested something easier (bicycle) which would allow you to travel a little faster but you also make you that much more vulnerable. This would also be easy to add and wouldn't take much of their precious time so that they can keep fixing the glitches. Your just mad you didn't think of it first. Other than that, this game is doing great, lets keep it moving in the right direction.
