    Hello everyone, I used to be a player who would play the standalone on a fairly regular basis until all my friends stopped playing. It has been years since I have been back on the forums. Could someone give me a recap on what happened in the development cycle. What went wrong/rignt? Is this game still in development? What happened to Dean Hall? etc.

    I'm glad to be back,

    It was a late Saturday in which I sat there with my finger jammed onto the 'w' key as I ran across Chenarus. As I was running, I realized I hit the side of a barn. Interested, I went inside to see if there was loot. I only found a burlap sack. Disappointed, I walked out the other side of the barn and turned left, only to realize that the other side of the barn was floating 2m off the ground. 

     

    "You Are Dead"

     

    Ladders are not the only thing chenarusians should fear, floating houses is next on the list.

     

    (p.s. I had a long range scope and a can opener  :() 

     

    Anyone else experience death from floating buildings?

    It isn't '24hourdaylight' by design, it's because most of the server hosters don't want nighttime on their servers. It will probably change when more night-oriented items get introduced and when the nighttime lighting gets improved.

     

    I really do want to make a chem light runway like i did in the mod, or running through a forest with flare in hand so anyone who was wearing night vision would be blinded. (but please bring chem lights back, I need to go raving in Elektro)

    My favorite part of the forums is how, generally, everyone is respectful of each others opinion and act kindly to one another.

     

    In game, however, you would not hesitate to blow my brains out over a can of tactical bacon XD

    Recently an early access game by the title Nether announced its official release as a finished game and is selling the game as a released game in the steam summer sale. This came as a shock to me because, when I went back to play it, the game felt thrown together and like it needed more to it.

     

    This serves as a warning to Dayz, as gamers, we enjoy playing a nice polished game that has very few or no bugs/glitches/graphical errors/etc. We should all be a bit more patient and wait until the game is fully finished before releasing it as a complete game. 

     

    So far I am happy where the game is going, if it keeps going this way, the game will have many features that will add to the already successful idea that the mod created.

     

    I am so happy with the forum, it is a much more welcoming environment compared to many other forums. We are civil and have conversations that are as civil as possible. I thank the moderators on this forum for punishing people who break forum rules rather than make exceptions because they are die-hard committed to the game, but cannot express themselves in a polite manner. 

     

    I do have one question: when is the official anticipated release to the game? (not soon, I hope)

    No thanks, running should be the main mode of getting places. Vehicles should be a rare luxury, one which requires a significant investment of time and risk. Even bicycles.

     

    I'm sorry that you don't have a lot of time to play DayZ, but the game cannot be developed to cater to anybody's schedule.

    This

     

    Also, I would like to add that sprinting should, like the mod, slow down considerably the longer it is done. Right now I can sprint from Cherno to Elektro in Usain Bolt time

    A stray bullet of mine hit a window the other day and I heard a smashing sound... But I dont think the window broke... But I was also a little...busy at the time it happened so i forgot to check it out when i was done.

    But will they eventually have actual windows shattering once physics is added is the real question.

     

    Back to the topic, I hope the Guba alarms, stated in the other thread, are real.

    Personally, here is my list of sounds that I feel should be added.

     

    1. Door Open/Close: this has already been said, but I'll add it to my list

     

    2. Book Page Turning: This would be a nice addition to the books.

     

    3. Smash or Snap sound when opening a can with anything but a can opener: would add another value to running around with a can opener.

     

    4. A Snapping/Breaking sound when you break your legs: would make death by falling even more embarrassing and would make it so that you can tell you have broken bones (a way to take away written indicators).

     

    5. Peeling sound when opening the can of sardines (or tuna, whichever one is open able w/o can opener): Would be a cool sound to add.

     

    6.Pendulum Clocks in game ticking (if they work) and making a loud sound every in game hour: I think this would be awesome to have as an in game sound. I would shit myself the first time I hear one of those ring in this environment.

     

    7.Radios working: many ideas already said for this one, but I've noticed so many radios in houses that do not work, at least some of them should still have some battery juice left?

     

    8. Kicking over a trash can sound: C'mon I'm sure some people out there would love to scare your friends shitless by doing this.

     

    9. Sound for the water pumps and for sipping out of a pond: Will most likely be added, but will add to my list anyway.

     

    10. Window shattering sounds: I'm not to sure whether the hospital windows come broken or if you can break them, but I want to see more windows that I can break rather than an entire town with broken windows every time.

     

    That's the ones that I can think of at the moment. Feel free to make your own list and critique my list. I will check this later because I have to be somewhere. I'm interested in seeing what you guys would like to see in regards to in game sounds.

    If we are talking a normal backpack or something similar.. IRL I can in fact access it while sprinting.

     

    I have before.. the memory is quite clear. You take off one shoulder strap, swing the pack around to your front and unzip-stick your hand in.. once you have what you want, rezip and simply swing the pack around your back, throw shoulder strap over again and boom! you're done.

     

    If authenticity is your concern, IRL is not the issue.. But I really like the idea presented by Applejax.. things should make more "sense" if they are going to add stuff like heart attacks. ;)

    I would love to see my character inadvertently looking down while running when he is stacking items.

    I find it quite silly that you can be sprinting at 14mph and still have full access to your inventory including the items stuffed in your back pack.

     

    Anyone else want an animation to play and your character to crouch when he is rummaging through his backpack.

     

    Therefore items in the backpack would be harder to get meanwhile items in your pockets would be quicker to access and not need an animation.

    I would also like to see an option where I can look into the backpack of one of my friends simply by going being him and scroll+f. One of the greatest things I liked in the mod.

    ...I decided to turn my back on a guy after playing with him for about three hours. We literally ran 3/4 of the map from NWAF, to SWAF, to Elektro, to Berezino, and finally to NEAF. After getting to NEAF and finding it already looted, I had to go take a piss. I let him know and hadn't even stood up from my chair when I saw, "You are dead".

     

    I normally help new spawns (even though nobody is truly new at this point of the game) but I don't usually hang around them long enough to even consider turning my back on them. This guy seemed pretty cool; he told me about his family and job, where he was from, etc. I used to KOS everyone I came across, but never would I do something so low. It makes me wonder what makes people tick. To see someone and shoot them on sight is one thing, but to roll with them for a few hours partaking in conversation for the entirety of the trip only to finally kill them when he is going AFK has to be the pinnacle of sleaze. I think I may go on another KOS rip.

     

    Has this ever happened to you?

    I grouped up with two people who killed me when I was finding their blood type. 

     

    I found them on steam and sent them the message "You were AB"

    Sometimes you want to punch people like this indian guy in the face again, again and again.

    too bad you can't punch a bot in the face.

     

    *WHAM* F*&K YOU SPAMBOT!

    Waking up and first thing checking dayz forums must suck too ;D Oh wait, it does :(

    It doesn't suck when you see teh awesome post people make around here!  :D

    to further clarify, I know that pen and paper work and I am glad they do.

     

    To rephrase things, I was wondering what the dev's had planned in the future:

     

    Are we going to be able to duct tape notes to a wall?

     

    Are we going to have persistent notes on servers?

     

    Will there be more paper spawns in the office building?

     

    Is there any more features going to be added in regards to notes?

     

    I would like to apologize if I was not clear enough with my initial post.

    does anyone have any information regarding what is planned for in regards to writing with pen & paper?

     

    I have seen many creative post involving the use of pen & paper and I have even made post in regards to pen & paper, but I do not know what is being planed. 

     

    I, personally, would like to see a chalkboard somewhere on the map where I can go and write something on the board with chalk. What other ideas do you guys feel is appropriate?

  25. Posted · Edited by helcol

    I want to hear from a Dev if were going to be able to give people spawning in different items for example not just having a flash light when you spawn but you get full gear and a m4 ect controlled by the admins of the server or they could maybe spawn in a car or have some sort of control over items that are saved to your server only. If not i'm not going to invest anymore money then my initial purchase. 

    So you essentially want a repeat of what happened in the mod in regards to spawning in items?

     

    I'm sorry but I feel that editing the spawn in items to the point where the game looses the survival aspect ruins the experience of the survival game.

     

    Also, are you going to spawn in 1000+ cars and helis?
