The problem is, it won't. If you dont believe me, I can't prove it of course, but just wait a few years more and you will see. Best regards

Yeah sure. And if not then, then .60... or .61.... or .62.... lets wait a year or two, hope will die at some point.

Yeah, or rather work not so much in progress really

Q1 2015 Basic vehiclesAdvanced loot distributionNew rendererNew Zombie AIBasic stealth system (zombies and animals)DiseasesImproved cooking and horticultureAdvanced anti-hack system (Dynamic BattlEye) Q2 2015Advanced vehicles (repair and modifications)Advanced animals (life cycle, group behavior)Player statisticsNew UIPlayer staminaDynamic eventsWorld containersNew physics system Well, what we kind of have is basic vehicles, kind of new zombie AI (not really good though.......), and some kind of new UI (neither good nor specially different so far...). So... yeah....

Well, looking at how the development is going and considering how many unsolved issues there always will be with DayZ (even if many say otherwise..), I am sure there will never be a console version. Of course I can't prove that now, but you'll see in time... Not even sure we will ever get a really good stable PC version anyway.

The whole melee system is just really bad at the moment (has always been), and I dont understand why so many people assume that we want to have it easier when we complain about it? It can be difficult, but it should not suck ass like it does now. I get the feeling that some people like to have a really bad and broken game, just because that makes the game hard aswell.. Here is a secret: there are good AND hard games... With a baseball bat? Hell yeah. With big pipe or wrench? Yeah.

Please finally fix this bug, it's so annoying, especially now that the wells are fixed and you cant spam drink. What happens to me and my friends, and therefore pro***bly for most people, is that often when we use "drink all" on a bottle or canteen, the animation finishes, but nothing else happens, and we have to "cancel current action". Sometimes it works on the second try, but just had a session where i tried at least ten times, dropped and picked up the bottle in between etc, nothing worked! So please....

Well as I said, some friends of mine sometimes have the same problem (not always though). Might be somehow related to the server, but often everything else works for me, only this doesn't. Has to have some reason i guess... hmm

Yeah, I was just standing next to a well and trying to drink a water bottle, and while the animation was running I saw a zombie spawning like 5 meters in front of me, jumped at me, and for some reason even killed me with a single hit (was almost completely healthy, how can that happen?). Pretty much sucked.

Well if thats true, why can i use the normal "drink" option fine then? And eat everything fine, use other items fine... only this particular thing doesnt work. Sounds like a bug to me, not only slow server...

I am having exactly the same problem, also 8 gb of ram. For me it started happening one or two patches ago. The pagefile thing might be a workaround, but Dayz really shouldnt need to use the pagefile if 8 gb of ram are available. I suspect there is a serious memory leak somewhere in the code...

Yeah this bug really sucks, compass pretty much useless, and i really dont get how it can be hard to fix this....

Hi, Does DayZ make any differences between different kind of walls / ceilings? The last times I died, it was always because someone shot me through something. Last time I was on the roof of one of these builtings that look a bit like a hospital, no idea what they are called... Anyway, it has a concrete ceiling, and I am pretty sure in real life you cant shoot through that with most guns, and surely not with any that is in the game. I can understand if that happens in a wooden shack, but a concrete ceiling of a building? Time before someone shot me through a pretty thick tree, which i think is also unrealistic. Its not that he shot at a tree i was standing behind, but he was directly behind a tree and shot through that, I was more than 50m away. Even if a bullet came through, it would loose a lot of power, and it would for sure deviate substantially from its original direction... So are these hacks? Or just glitches in the game? Any plan to solve that any time?

Hi, nope, a friend of mine was downstairs as well and came to rescue me, he came in the room like a second after i got shot, heard the gun sound from that room (shotgun) the same second i died upstairs, so pretty sure I was shot through the ceiling.

Yeah I had that feeling kind of when i first noticed that the firestation bug, climbing out through the wall, made it 1 to 1 from the mod to the standalone.. quite amazing after claiming that so much was redone from ground ;) (not saying now that everything is bad, they made nice changes as well)

Well. you could in turn increase the number to account for the ones that spawn far away from civilisation. But I think it would be nicer to give everyone a chance to find them, not only those who farm the same region of the map on 10 servers...

Wouldnt it be much better if the crashsites spawned totally randomly all over the map? I dont like the idea that I have to farm a certain part of the map to find them, but would rather prefer to run into them randomly during a session. Besides, does any one know where the spawn points on the dayz map come from? On what kind of data are they based?

Yeah sounds reasonable, but try all that as a fresh spawn without picking other food, dont think it will work until you starve, or will it? and dont you need an axe to make fire?

I think what some people neglect here: If the solution to enforce hunting is to just reduce canned food spawns drastically, people will just starve directly. In my opinion, hunting is too difficult at the beginning of the game, even though several people here want it to be more difficult. Sure, with a fully equipped character it is easy to hunt, thing is: It is most important to get food at the beginning when you spawn in hungry. So in my opinion, it should be much easier to aquire and axe, matches and a kitchen knife if the food spaws are reduced. Like right now you would just spawn, look for these items and starve. Sometimes it can really take aged to find an axe or matches! I would love if everyone would be forced to hunt instead of just finding food, but just reducing the food spawn would be a bad way to do that. And, for example, if you find an unlooted house, normally you should expect to find something like matches in almost every house. Same with kitchen knifes, how realistic is it that I walk through a medium sized city without a knife? Sure, other people could have been there before, but then again I would not die of starvation in 5 hours. Like the system is now: When you really need hunting you cant do it, if you can, you dont need it. I like the mechanics themselves, but they are poorly implemented into the game concept in my eyes, and i really hope the developers have a plan for this, though i doubt it. p.s.: Im sure many people will disagree with me, but then please: next time you spawn fresh, only live from meat you hunted and dont touch any of the food you may find, then you will see what i mean i think.

"I'll have to remember to quote this when zombies are improved further." Yeah and I'll remember to quote this when nothing happens again. Just have a look at old thread from 6 to 12 month ago, and you will see that people complain basically about the same things like today. Dont mean new items or stuff, but more the fundamental game basics, which really dont have developed much.

Yeah, or let someone at BI, who earned millions of dollars on this game, do this tiny job. Why should be players be bothered to even be responsible for this?! I really dont get it....

Yeah really complicated... One of the new guys in the company they claim they could hire after earning several millions from an early access alpha just spends like 1 hour of his day to join some servers, as he would easily find several cases like this in a short time. He then reports that on an easy route to the hosters, and since he is from the producer of the game they shut that server down directly without asking for recorded stuff or whatever. If this happens for some time, people will also get tired to rent servers for this purpose quite quickly i assume. So why is something similar to this not happening? How hard can it be? Why is that put on the players, who should spend time and effort to fix such things?

I think i am mostly anticipating the new Renderer, since it would feel great to play the game without hickups, even in towns, without the newest i5 or i7, that would probably increase my experience the most. Hopefully it will also do that, i am afraid I am expecting too much of that... Otherwise very important things planned for Q1 already, lets hope for the best....

Yeah... A bit less buggy I would say, but what annoys me is that they can see you from like half a kilometer away, even when you are prone or lying.. So no use in trying to be stealthy in my eyes... And so few that they are not really a threat, but can be annoying since you can't avoid them anyway.. So that changes what I once thought was more of stealth game into a "shooter", where I have to kill every zombie i come across...

Hm, not my impression, I feel that also the view itself is too low, not only the windows too high, since everything else is also too high i would say. As someone just mentioned, the grass is way too high compared to your characters head. Also when I walk next to train rails, they seem to be at my waist height sometimes when I just walk next to them and they are slightly elevated. So yeah, you could probably say that everything else is too high, but I would just say the view is too low... Houses may be a special topic, if some are also strangely designed, so that doors are too low etc...
