Devs, forget features, just focus on stability & release date.
doctorwhy replied to luzarius's topic in General Discussion
This thread is full of fail! Let it die LOL -
I for one want the epic beard. I wouldn't be wasting time and resource to find "shaving" tools when other things matter. Plus epic beards are bad ass. Maybe not as complex as growing one over time but at least as a character choice. Plus maybe we could do this.

So you do realize that every new feature introduces new elements. If you had any idea about development you would know that you get features done then optimize. Every new feature also requires optimization and by your "demand" the game would never be finished. Oh yeah and the obligatory "Alpha" statement. -
Oh you mean the broken thing that sucks? Thanks for the link :)

What are those changes? The only ones in announcements are last weeks :( Edit: Just checked...posted on the 18th last tuesday. So um yeah. They were so good with this but now they're not. :(

Staying away from SW from Elektro Cherno Balota, a few days to a week and a half. Going down there for some action. a few deaths an hour.

Yup still gets me 80% of the time. the other 20% of the time it's shots after the first trying to hit me. the first one ALWAYS gets me lol

Idea how to restrain people from killing on sight.
doctorwhy replied to mpm470's topic in General Discussion
Rule 1. You can not be killed on sight if you are not in sight. Quit sticking your head out and being silly Rule 2. Don't get attached to gear. I learned this one a long time ago. It will come and go but what you take with you every death is a new lesson learned. Either something you did was stupid or you learn where people "hide" out. Rule 3. FFS people would be like that in a post-apocalyptic world. I believe this game shows it very well. See Rule 1 -
Could have been a sniper it happens. 1.) Could be somebody looking for people who pick on bambies 2.) Could have been pissed you took his kill 3.) Could have finished you both off. Just because you can't see them doesn't mean they can't see you.

What, in your opinion, is the most important item in the game?
doctorwhy replied to Elidor's topic in General Discussion
This -
Yeah that's stupid. I most definitely don't do that. If I am dead they earned the kill either because of my stupidity or they got the jump on me good. Either way back to Running around helpless for me. I don't understand why people get so attached to their gear. If they want immediate gratification they should go back to COD where your kit is always there.

Sometimes the server needs a restart etc but I don't kick. Restarts are good for everyone on the server (more loot) but to kick because you lost is cowardly. There are more places than Balota to "get your loot". I've been killed many times on my server and I don't kick people because I died. This keeps the tension in DayZ the makers are looking for. I could die around ANY corner.

Killer Party: While recording episode 2 we ran into this situation. It was too long to make episode 2 so we decided we'd put it together as a episode 3. Moral of the story. There are some people you just can't trust in DayZ.

Firefighter's axe in a backpack, but not an M4?
doctorwhy replied to subliminal_city's topic in General Discussion
I think you should be able to break down the M4 into it's pieces to carry around. No you couldn't quickly pull it out and murder somebody but you could hide and take the time to put it back together again. You can saw (Not sawn) off the shot gun and put it in your backpack and have the other weapon at the ready very quickly form the quick actions bar. -
After hotfix: Constant server restarts or disconnection issues?
doctorwhy replied to -MadTommy's topic in General Discussion
I would love to see bows and arrows in the game -
Needless to say I ended up dead last night and I am searching around and doing my usual path of finding loot. Low and behold I come across a Mosin. I hit tab to look at it and drag it into my inventory. It's almost fully kitted out with the bipod and the compensator. No scope though. In the small town I am in there was NO doors open. Not even the ones to the building where I found this. Has anyone else found a Mosin all rigged up or did some stranger come into the building find a better weapon and left his mosin sitting there...and then closed the doors and ran off?

After hotfix: Constant server restarts or disconnection issues?
doctorwhy replied to -MadTommy's topic in General Discussion
From Gameservers.com Patches have been applied to all servers, but we will be restarting again within the next hour to apply an additional critical hotfix. We will notify you once all maintenance is complete. I am betting they aren't all updating at once. Mine has been on and off. They might not be complete with hotfix yet. -
Yes this has made me a little more frustrated. They were supposed to reduce weapon cleaning kits but I found 4 all around Polana last night. Like C'mon!!!!

Was I really lucky or was this a stranger

Were you on my server Fear & Loathing in DayZ? -
Was I really lucky or was this a stranger
doctorwhy replied to doctorwhy's topic in General Discussion
Seems it may have been a hopper. It was in the "piano" building in Stary so me thinks the closeness to the airfield and the loot that usually drops there it was a drop by another player. Great find for me! It was all pristine and I had 3 boxes of the ammo before I got there. I always pick up a little bit of each ammo I find until I get a handgun and decide on the primary. -
I....WANT...THIS...NOW Edit: Needs to be a white one so we can go all Gilligan!

anyone finding pistol red dot sight anymore?
doctorwhy replied to commanderbash's topic in General Discussion
Found one pre emergency patch. Gave it to my traveling companion. Had to get rid of pre patch inventory to get frame rates back because of last patch. If you look carefully at my buddy's handgun you can see the sight on top in the vid during our gas station suicide.
