The good old days...

See, I heard about the steam overlay for getting an idea for the number of players on a server, but that just makes no sense...why remove it if steam allows you to get a count anyway? And drat, I loved them 50 person servers haha. Was easy to find em. Guess I'll just have to get with the program. And aah, I see. NE Coastal cities eh? And one issue I also discovered is I was apparently using an outdated map, which would explain why I kept trying to find so many landmarks for reference points that were no longer there lol. And I personally don't understand why they keep continuing to make adjustments that will attempt to curb server hopping. People will always find ways around it as long as there are public servers. Not even sure why they try to fight it, but that's just my opinion.

I mean that's not really why I came back. Just making some observations and generating opinions. I obviously still like the game, and yeah I have some gripes about it, but what's wrong with that? It's a forum. I generally like to throw my gripes out there because typically someone has a perspective that may shed light on my own concerns and change my viewpoint. So yeah, sue me. I have opinions. :)

1. Learn to quote. 2. Seriously, just stop. This is embarrassing

Thanks for the answer, Zod. Also, good to see you again. Yeah, the game as it is on its own right now I think is still in dire need of some work in order to be enjoyed on it's own. But I honestly was expecting way more completion after an entire year vacation.

So....if you go back and read my post, I was not asking for an update on a year's worth of development. In fact I explicitly said I had already caught myself up on it. I asked one general question. Reading. It's super hard.

The development of this game in my opinion is incredibly slow. I wouldn't advise anyone to buy it until it's finished. I wait with eager anticipation to see it complete.

The ol' Mosin...miss that beauty. Killed a lot of dudes with that thing. Also got my face shot off with it once or twice.

Well if that's true, it's rather disappointing. But again, back to my question...where the hell are all the players? I can't get a good feel of how many we have because you can no longer tell an empty server from a server with people on it, which if that is truly the case (I've been known to be wrong about things) I genuinely wonder the purpose for that switch. Especially now that you can't even tell if the server you joined has people on it an hour later, because I don't know about everyone else, but player interaction is literally the best thing going for this game IMO.

I hear this feature will be completed by summer of 2024 :P

I'm with Mookie...I returned recently to see how everything was going, and was incredibly unimpressed as far as the overall game experience is concerned. Yes, there are some improvements, but I think they can't see the forest from the trees IMO. I personally never minded the PvP. It was a rush to have to worry about someone being around every corner while you were trying to scavenge for food. Not to mention is was just plain damn fun. Upon my return, I have died from hypothermia, food poisoning (somehow from cooked chicken...), getting insta-killed by zombies that pop out of nowhere when I get a frame lag and roundhouse kick me for 9999 damage, and I genuinely killed myself after a 4 hour run of doing nothing but picking berries and drinking pond water because I literally couldn't find anything. This game has become rather boring, I must say.

Hiding under them was fun, too... Oh shit did I say that out loud? I mean...erm...FU-..... *Ahem* I HAVE NEVER EXPLOITED EVER NEVER FOREVER NEVER. I AM AN HONOURORABLE PLAYER.

Well one anti-ghosting mechanic they had (whether intentional or not) was the reload noise that was played when someone logged in nearby. I can't for the life of me think of a good reason why they removed that.

Shot a guy in the face who had broken legs

I had my hands on the trombone once, didn't get to use it though. I would like to ACTUALLY have a trombone to play some mellow tunes when my character is feeling down... or whack the shit out of someone with

Ha no way. I hope I'm wrong, but I don't see the new renderer coming down the pipe any time soon. Seriously, I would LOVE to be wrong.

Ha what a clusterfu*k. That was fun to watch.

I would like to see in the future the ability to take individual rails and be able to screw them/attach them to weapons to allow for mounting. it would be incredibly easy to jury rig a tactical rail onto a wooden weapon to mount attachments onto. screws x 2 Screw Driver Tactical Rail + Mosin = Mosin with attachment capability. I mean sure it would be hideous as all get out but pretty practical for a bipod or a flashlight.

I would like to see the inventory system go to some sort of "free item placement" mechanic, where the objects themselves take up the space, and the entire space is just one large box that the items go into.

I found a cup holder accessory and a bottle opener attachment yesterday

Hm I could've sworn I saw it somewhere. Idk maybe I'm crazy lol

You haven't been playing enough. They are still everywhere Can I have his steam name and Steam ID so I can...uh...play with him? Not that I'd take video evidence of him doing it and report him or anything... <.< >.>

DayZ needs golf clubs. Golf is a REAL genteman's sport! Oh and hockey stick is OP. It's pretty much a one hit knockout to the head. I've smacked the sh*# out of several people trying to come at me all crossways

I think no one mentioned it because it has already been listed as an issue in the patch notes.

Dear Hunting, I think it's time we broke up...it's not you, it's...well...you. I am in love with Can of Peaches. He gives me everything you cannot, as you don't really work that well right now. Maybe some day when you're more practical I shall return to you Sincerely, DeatHTaX wait...OH! You said DEER hunting. Silly me.
