You are right this is a PVE survival game there are just P's in you E. This game is a open world sandbox survival open pvp game. WE make the rules WE make the content WE decide how to play. PVP does not mean a game mode is simply means PLAYER VS PLAYER. If you are familiar EVE online you can compare the DayZ world to WH space you are lucky if you even know someone else is there. DayZ has no restriction on player on player interaction meaning that pvp can and most likely will happen. No one is trying to push anyone in any direction I'm simply telling you what this game is because you seem to not understand it. You have a false premise or vision of what you thought this game was and you are desperately trying to cling to it. As you said "The game is unique and open and gives the players the options".

If you don't understand why people bandit and why you should be more scared of players you do not understand the game and the point of it. Go look up the old teaser trailer that will tell you all you need to know. This game is a PVE game there is just Players in your Environment. The whole point is to evolve ourselves first we start off as Waring tribes slowly we will build better communities and society.

ETA unknown they will get it out either by beta or after. They have some structure and more important issues to work on animations, physics, cooking, hunting, improvised weapons, re spawning loot & so on. I honestly love walking around in DayZ but for all you lazy bones :P I hope they do it as soon as possible.

Keep up the good work guys.

God hates you... Seriously though its been picked clean try finding a low pop server or one that has just restarted.

Keep up the good work ladies and gentlemen.

I say buy the alpha version because who knows they might raise the price once it hits full release they did this with ArmA 3. You buying DayZ though depends on if you understand and already know what DayZ is and is not. If you are a fresh spawn to the DayZ world don't buy it. Read the forums and guides watch some videos on youtube to make sure you want to play this game in its current state or even at all.

This discussion has turned into a sexist rant and redundant comments where are the forums mods when you need them.

NO the quote you said the whole "you probably think I think this is beta not alpha" was a response/quote you attributed to the #19 post. Which was a response to Punkvegita not to you. This is not hard to understand in post #22 your first quote of mine is post #19 that is the quote I said I was not talking to you. This is not difficult to understand just look at #22. So what if rocket is leaving the game and there are no gaps or things in the game he does not know about at least not major ones. Rocket is not leaving till the end of 2014/Beta if that even he has said he will stay as long as he feels he is needed and not getting in the way. Him leaving does not change the main pillars this game is being built on, which are a HARDCORE SURVIVAL REALISM. BI is not like all the other companies how do you not understand this yet. They are a small company nothing like EA Infinity Ward/Activision/Treyarch. They are not tied down with having to come out with big blockbuster titles for the masses. They specialize in a certain game play and certain player base. They got the money that they wanted from DayZ the rest of the money they get is a nice addition. This game will not be ruined by some big wig saying make it easier to give me money. It will only be hurt by people who do not understand what DayZ and BI are. Just because A company and B company act a certain way does not mean or show a trend on how C company will act. Like I stated everything in your OP has already been stated to be coming down the road of alpha to beta. So yes when you say that this is a discussion thread about how to make hardcore different then go on to say the things that are coming to both REGULAR and HARDCORE. You should come up with NEW things to add to the discussions like the seasons. Yes this thread wasn't started by me but you opened it to the public as a discussion I want to see it be a discussion about new things not the things that are slated for arrival. That is how you make sure a conversation does not stagnate.

No I did not quote you i have checked 4 times or more I quoted Punkvegita. Vanilla will not be lacking in realism or hardcore the game is suppose to be and is going to be a hardcore survival game. They will not cater to the make it easier crowd Dean has already said this. They have a player base and it is not the rush of fresh people who think the game is suppose to be easy. Those people will leave and people like me and you will stay as WE are the player base they are catering to. BI is not a big company so they do not (and will not) have to cater to some false premise of there game to people who don't like hardcore survival. My point is this discussion thread needs to be about new things not stuff that is already coming. The season cycle is a good example of a new thing to add to game.

For me I think how they might do seasons is areas that are either winter or not. They have so much map to work with they can do it kinda like making zones. If they do a season cycle it might be short not taking months hehe but it would be cool to have real seasons. They could also add like winter servers spring servers and so on.

If you know how the shock mechanic works then why do you not understand how some people don't get blurry screens from combat while some do.... It goes away when you go to the video screen because THAT is the bug it is not suppose to go away. Also because the game says you are healthy does not mean you are not injured he could have injuries he does not know about... All healthy means is you are gaining blood and health back when needed.

Was not talking to you at all with that post hence me quoting the guy I was responding to. Also they will not be dialing back on those things they will be dialing up or honing it.

Calling for different hit point values having ALL water be infected different fatigue values and recovery values are changing mechanics. The gun thing was aimed at people who said yes change gun values.

Read a damn article or dev blog about the game do some fraking research brother. Even follow dean on twitter these things I said above are all there for you to find on twitter articles dev blogs etc.

Read my edited post above yours. Yes you can get blurry from combat with zombies because of SHOCK. Shock values get applied randomly no set value for specific actions. Sometimes the sound of zombies can add enough shock value to push you into blurry when you enter combat. Getting in a gun fight is almost a guaranteed blurry screen especially if the bullets hit you. Shock has nothing to do with being healthy even the most gluttonous of us will get a blurry screen.

Why? I am not allowed to respond to things or is nub to much of a no no word for your virgin eyes? Also my point still stand its not a bug its his shock value. Another thing having your post processing up to high can cause things to be a bit to blurry far away. I always keep my setting at low or very low. That way my screen is not to blurry from post processing but I can still see when i am in shock or injured.

WHICH IS EXACTLY WHY YOU NEED TO GET HEALTHY. This is a hardcore survival game there is no easy mode there is no hand holding. You do your research you use common sense and critical thinking and you will be fine.

THIS! Blurry screen is not a bug you nubs the blur is telling you 2 things. 1. You are in shock from combat. 2. You are injured and have low blood or health or both or just low health.

All of these things will be added to REGULAR and HARDCORE down the road. I do not see any difference here from regular and hardcore these mechanics are coming to both. The cursor is the only one that will be a difference between the two other than no 3PP. This is a pointless discussions with the points you have raised talk about NEW features that HARDCORE will only have. DayZ is already suppose to be a "hardcore" game in general the different modes are mainly added to get rid of HUD and 3PP. They will not make one have different mechanics and values ie more gun recoil bullet drop and dispersion. That would mean they have to make and test 2 different sets of weapons for all weapons. They will have to write twice the code for no reason since the game is already hardcore. So think of features that doesn't require them to essentially make 2 different games.

Can you add a all the above.

Want binoculars? Get a long range scope until they add binoculars to the game.

I have came across an Origins of Species book that was in Spanish or Portuguese.

USE MY DAMN FISTS LIKE A MAN! The fists are the 4th best weapon in game it goes guns, fire axe, splitting axe, then fists. I have taken on 2 zombies at once with my fists tried 4 one time it got a little too crazy.

How is game balance not a logical enough reason for them to not allow rifles in backpacks?!?! I look at it like this an axe is WAY easier to take out of my back back than a rifle. I can just leave my pack open enough so the handle is some what sticking out just enough for the axe head to be easily pulled out in times of quick use. The rifle not so much since the stupid magazine (depending on the size) needs more room to leave my pack. Which would me my pack is to open and would just mean loosing my goods as I go. Now if I can put my rifle in the back pack with no magazine that would be legit. Want to hide a gun in you pack put the sawed off in there fits perfectly and is good in close quarters which most of your OH SHIT firefights will be. It is a video game YOU imagine or RP the rules to fit better to your liking not the other way around.
