OP not only is this a troll thread it is a duplicate (many times over) thread. as I said before you quite simply should never have started it - it's a waste of forum space plain and simple. as for the "needs attention" bit that is just obvious. I am curious about one thing however... are you older than 12?

actually you shouldn't have started the thread in the first place unless you just like the harassment you will get (refer back to the "not enough attention at home" bit). it's more than obvious all you are looking for is attention so now you have it. are you happy that people hate you and your behavior? if you are perhaps you should seek counseling or at the very least try and engage someone in real life in some real conversation instead of filling the forum with troll threads. lovely way to start your posting.

OP you are aware that suggestions and complaints are not the same thing right? and surely you are aware that there are hundreds of these "fix the timer" threads already right? I can only assume that you want a little flack for your bad behavior - not enough attention at home?

and this is what trollin looks like...

looks like bitchin to me... just sayin

so you are confessing to being part of the problem and bitchin because the timer inconveniences you... interesting.

oh yeah I forgot about that bit thanks :)

hrm so if the whole map should be used - why not randomize spawns to any location on the map... of course I am sure there are certain mechanics I am not aware of that prevent this but it certainly would make things interesting and guarantee that the whole map gets used.

wow man thanks that was truly an omfg wtf vid if ever :)

so I was reading through the posts at the gallery looking for some interesting vids and found this tid-bit http://forums.dayzgame.com/index.php?/topic/173105-satanists-among-us/ its a little creepy but apparently some peeps like a little theme music while playing.

only one map to play on and you can loot pieces of the map (some of them can be combined to make a larger map) to carry with you in the game but there is no provision to tell you where you are. after many hours of exploring you get used to where things are and you shouldn't need a map at all - a compass (also lootable) is very handy if you have trouble navigating by the sun (stars at night) and landmarks. daddy always told my brothers to be better boy scouts, I was the only one that listened. good luck and welcome to the apocalypse.

umm there are little streams and ponds everywhere, even up north - at the moment I get most of my water from streams or ponds because they are easier to find and water purification isn't an issue yet. explore more... just sayin.

well I have to say that after almost 370 hours now even the most common and simple items can get very rare on a full server - I traded a bag of rice for a hacksaw one morning after searching for 2 days and finding not a one - this was on experimental however. personally I am not too concerned with how difficult they make the hardcore servers as I am not too attached to my gear but if the regular servers get too difficult people won't play the game. some people just like it easy and I don't have any problem with that either. I really hate server restarts as they seem to happen at the worst possible time.

good question - I don't know if I read it somewhere or if that's what makes the most sense to having zeds and items respawn because having the server reset all the time seems to discourage any long term commitment to a particular server. if I am on a populated server that's been up for a couple of hours where is my incentive to remain on the server knowing that everything is already in the hands of someone else, I'll just hop to a server that I think might have what I am looking for and hope I have a good 2 or 3 hours of play before a reset. having said all that - if loots and zeds respawn the game continues uninterrupted on the same server, so long as there is no reset, and I can maybe find what I am looking for and kill some more zeds on the way.

I've seen it once - haven't been able to find it again but there are a few screens in the gallery of this guy. Don't know why he is there or what the radio does but hopefully it will be something interesting. Oh also I believe that he is in the forest north of balota - pretty sure I was passing thru that way when I found him the first time.

correct me if I am wrong but isn't the point to loot respawn and zed respawn to prevent having to restart the servers??

haha I have done this before. I carry a couple of sewing kits and there have been many times I will find some badly damaged clothes that I will patch up and leave for the next person to find. I also try and drop anything that I consider excess gear in plain sight so someone else can find it and use it. I like it when I find some gear that someone else has dropped and I can use some of it so I consider it a pay-forward. on a side note I do hope I don't get blasted by one of those sawn-offs I leave behind...

that's dubky and you are on the north eastern apartment building. in your first picture you are facing southwest and in your third picture you are facing northeast. I've watched plenty o zeds slowly make their way up the hill shown in your fourth picture. good luck dude. oh and if I should be mistaken a correction would be greatly appreciated :)

well so far I am liking the zed respawns - cleared cherno (or so I thought) yesterday only to have it loaded with em again after I exited some building... at the time I was unaware that they were respawning so I was surprised to find them all over the place again. as for the cache pack - I will sometimes drop all my gear on a rooftop and jump even if I am geared like mad - there is just something about the thrill of starting it all over again ;) I do try to announce in global VC (if that even works) where I drop and where I jump from. some day I might try to make it back to the jump spot just to see who manages to find it.

one of the instances I mentioned before happened on experimental thru a server reset, I killed the three I found spent a few minutes trying to get my bearings when the server reset and low and behold another set of three zombies. the time it happened near gvozdno I killed the three I found and logged out for the night when I logged back in the next day and to a different server there were again three zombies. there is simply no way I am going to believe that those two cases in particular are a result of zombies with agro loosing LOS and stopping there cause if that's the case I need to go to las vegas.

I found a place on stable outside of gvozdno where a couple of zeds spawn in the forest. at first I thought maybe they just chased someone out there so I axed em and exited for the night, when I logged back on the next day to a different server there were zeds there again, so I axed them too. on experimental I've found zeds in the black forest, a couple of groups of three on more than one occasion.

it's all about the apocalypse for me. open world sandbox games are a ton of fun and I had been searching for a couple of years for a good one with zombies. I followed the development for about a year while playing a couple of other titles (they were either CoD with a couple of zeds, required serious micromanagement of some group, or just boring overall). this is the game I have been waiting for and so far (over 350 hours since 1st week of January) it has been the best 30 bucks I ever spent on a game, alpha or not. can't wait till its finished and I'm not too worried about rocket taking off, the game will get finished or it won't, its a hell of ride the way it is.

hrm if you're thinkin its unplayable just because you can't manage to survive I'd have to say you just aren't very good at playing the game. read up on some survival guides, follow the advice they give, then reassess your critique. just sayin.

heh and the duchebaggery continues.....

heh I found that guy a couple of weeks ago. now I have ask does everyone that finds him take a screen? I did. as for the evil santa apparently there is more than one, if you climb the smoke stack at the factory in vybor and do a good 3pp peek down the stack he's there staring back up at you - scared the bejesus outta me when I saw that one. while you guys are out looking up those coordinates on the deer stands I would be interested to know if the one that is fallen over shares the same coordinates as the one a couple of meters away. I've also noticed there appears to be coordinates hand painted on the posts of these stands but I have yet to log them to determine if they really are coordinates and if they are all different - the hand writing is all the same and I am usually too busy being paranoid to pay much attention. oh and have fun :)
