How about this is the alpha. Your vision is short sighted and ill informed. The top of the 'to do' list would make your brain bleed out of your ears because it involves heavy networking/infer-structure for the servers. Rebuilding the graphics engine. Integrating the new physics engine. Rebuilding the audio engine (the one your complaining about cant be fixed until this). Fixing collision and model interaction. Creating AI and balancing it with networking between server, player, hive. Adding vehicle maintenance interaction and pieces. Adding the ability for players to keep gear on a server through restarts with 'tents' or something similar. Fixing the systems that allow servers to manage loot and zombie respawns without server restarts. your 'top of the to do list' is actually at the bottom of the list until the core game systems are running. After that polishing how sounds work and interact, graphical optimization, ect will come in due time. Probably more than 6 months from now, being generous. You said it yourself, your issues are superficial. Thanks for wasting our time. Read the disclaimer you agree to every time you boot up the game.

Great guide! For your information speed-loaders. Load your weapon, magnum or shotgun, with 'loose' rounds. When you need to reload your weapon the speed-loader acts like a magazine for like you would use for the M4 or .45 allowing you to reload by pushing R or using the middle mouse wheel. It is rumored that having a bipod deployed while not prone will make you less accurate. Also, bayonet and suppressors/silencers will be functional at some point, just not now ;)

Can you describe your problem a bit more? Are you concerned about the horizontal lines? We would also need your system specs

Thank you so much for the response. I was trying to look out for you. What happens to the characters that players in current games have when their server reconnects with the database? There have been servers up all the while during maintenance, does the database override the live server or will the live server push an update to the database? Or when you bring the database online does it force the servers to restart, thus using the databases character info? Sory if this is confusing its very early am here :(

Its probably maintenance, try back in about an hour :) Much of yur progress wont save tell than anyways.

Load the shotgun with loose shells, and keep the speed loader in your inventory. This allows you to use the speed loader like a magazine for the m4

Thats neat, i shoot trap, but have never seen those irl.

Hey man, thanks for being awesome. Please keep up the good work, and remember people only bitch when they care! 5 minutes answering some basic questions twice a day will pay you huge dividends! You have no clue, how much I love this game. Edit: You really really may want to have them bring down the servers and roll the characters back to just before the maintenance. If, as I assume when the servers reconnect to the hive players playing with a new character will over-right their old character.... Edit2: You dont have to but something for you to conciser.

This, if you have two in your inventory you may quickly reload twice. You will want to first load shells into the shotgun. Secondly have the speedloaders (like a magazine) loaded. After firing your loaded shells click the middle mouse button or R and you will instantly reload the gun. Without speed loaders you need to open your inventory and drag'n drop amo.

I love your game. But you really need to communicate with the players about whats happening. Taking down the hive servers for two hours and only making one post on twitter the day before doesnt help people understand what you guys are doing. People get upset because they want to play your game! Because they love it! But when something as routine as server maintenance isnt disseminated to the players, people will get frustrated. There are literally no less than 5 posts on the first page of general discussions not knowing whats going on because the only place the maintenance was announced was on twitter a day ago. May I suggest a small popup box on the main screen? Or updating the 'news' section for the game on steam? Keep up the good work. I have nothing but high hopes for the game!

Jerkeynes can be caused by lag, if he has a poor connection he may loose frames. Also the game has drasticly different needs at different times. Urban areas eat resources like candy where as woods are very low spec computer friendly. Edit: also your antivirus software....

Hive server maintenance, they only said something on twitter. Once. Yesterday. I wish they had a forum with an announcement section.

I dont get why they cant post that shit on the announcements section.

Animations will be drastically improved.

Though hilarious, your lucky he was hitting the invisible walls that happen on hills lol. Also your poor friend roflol

With all the threads about the lack of loot spawning, I can think of a couple good reasons to kill someone :)

They can. For DayZ they are ripping out some of the hard-coded graphics handling and rebuilding it.

Announcement section of the forums. Its like magic.

This is about the 5th time you have avoided discussing the relevance of your proposed changes. Either I am right and it has a measurable impact on game balance, or you are right and it doesn't affect game-play in a meaningful way its useless to discuss in the context of the game. Furthermore, Id rather have the team working on bug fixes instead of adjusting numbers that you insist dont effect game-play.

Your problem is in the first post at the top of announcements. http://forums.dayzgame.com/index.php?/topic/167343-servers-with-connection-issues-to-central-hive/ WARNING: THIS GAME IS EARLY ACCESS ALPHA.

We arnt hard-asses. We just dont like whiny kids who cant read one sentence and than come and bitch.

Ya it will be better. The major issues in front of it now are, flashlights shine through walls giving away your position, many people are just adjusting their video settings and have an advantage, and you can not melee with a flashlight in your hands. Im sure all of this will change as the game develops.

Spacebar to 'ready' and 'aim' the flash light :) Make sure you put a battery in it and turn it to on
