There is also an amient noise that sounds like a hard drive spinning for a second and its irritating.

Just saying, I'd love to see a game with dinosaurs like this...except where they can't walk through walls.

Really? Grenades launchers? Just wow.

Yeah but there is no reason to keep splitting the community

I don't want Hardcore to be any different than the regular game. The regular game should be hardcore enough, its a survival game. I only play HC because no 3pp wussmode.

Until there are vehicles or spawns are near there, not interested. I only play this game with my friends, I don't want to run for hours to go somewhere to find them just to die to another player or something dumb like touching a ladder or falling through the wall of a house.

I wonder this often, I only play HC. I see a lot of low pop HC servers yet many full regular. I don't get it. Wah wah realism but first let me use 3pp. Dumb.

They are there, but it is almost impossible to see out of them in a way that lets you see anything other than the sky. Especially when it comes to looking down at the street below. Forget about even trying to aim through them, most of the time it is impossible. If you get lucky enough where you can see through them and aim through them, most of the time you hit an invisible windowsill. Is this ever going to be fixed?

Happens to 2 others out of the 5 that I play with. Negative on both. It does it whether I have the game set to High or Low. and it only does it when I first join a server for the first time of the playing session

Wrong. I load in, can see mountains and the horizon but can't move for over 30 seconds. Every time.

This can happen anywhere. and does.

The shotgun sound is from at the latest Red Faction 1 for PS2. Sounds so bad. I hope it is a place holder.

I would have to agree with this statement, as there are times zombies act a certain way, and then a week later they are different.

No. I play hardcore because 3PP is stupid, but I don't want anything else changed. There are too few people playing HC as it is, don't ruin it for us.

No to that sound coming back, because it was way too loud. But yes to adding a different sound that you can only hear if you are very close to it.

Looks good

It should be removed but it should tell you how many players are in and if any of your friends are in the server without checking steam. It should also tell you what the server name is.

Nah, this is a huge problem. Not everybody has a great computer that can get in right away, especially if the server crashes when you are in the middle of a place that you wouldn't normally log out in. I shouldn't have to go to a different server, wait 99 seconds (assuming I don't get please wait...) and then get somewhere "safe", wait 99 more seconds (not including a please wait) just to continue playing where I was

I posted about this before and nobody really saw a problem with it for some reason. I think it is awful that you can zigzag and move all over so quickly. Hopefully it is just temporary until vehicles are added.

Nah he means if the can is damaged and you open it with something other than a can opener it may ruin the can...which makes no sense though because its just a can of food. Oh gnoes can is ruined, I can't eat the food out of it now some how. :rolleyes:

We just need better character customization. I know it is alpha of course...but I'm talking in general. In real life you can recognize someone by their body type, posture, mannerisms. In games that's not possible so you just rely on a face with the same animations as everyone else. Would be cool if there were a few animation sets you could choose from.

Well IMO a BI game or not, discounts on slowly progessing Alpha game that is already discounted to begin with is not a good sign.

Was playing last night with some friends, the server we were on was really laggy so we decided to go to a different server. We were at the office building in Berezino. I didn't want to get off there so I went to the tan house across the field from the front entrance, while they stayed there. I went upstairs and logged off. I found a server, only to be greeted with typical "Please Wait..." fare. I tried getting into it twice, and that happened both times. Had to wait 99 seconds each time. My friend tried once more and he got in, so I tried one last time. I finally got in and I thought, cool, I get to play now. I immediately turn to my left and I see three people (which I insist were duplicates of the same person..they were all wearing the same clothes.) kneeling down in handcuff position. There was what looked like a freshspawn standing over top of them, and my first thought was, oh my character glitched loading in and he is handcuffing me. I told my friends to get to me, but they didn't know where I was. I tried getting out my SKS but it wouldn't come out...(Dayz law: when you see someone and need to get out the appropriate weapon, you can count on it not coming out.) So then I tried the machete...also wouldn't work. So I went up to the guy and he loaded in fully and he appeared to be fully geared. I started punching him in the face. Suddenly from there, he split into two separate characters (both looking the same) One walked downstairs casually, the other I knocked out. I was so confused by what was still going on I thought the handcuffed guy was still me (even though we weren't wearing the same clothes) I went to grab the M4 off of the guy I knocked out and was killed by the guy downstairs. I still can't figure out what happened. It had to have been a glitch to see three of the same character getting handcuffed? It had to have been a glitch that they were getting handcuffed by one guy that split into an identical one? Or were they hackers trying to dupe their gear? I have no idea how that works but I just can't figure this out. Something vaguely similar happened a few months ago where my friend split into two characters...on my screen he was lying on the floor of the grocery store and I asked him if he was in there and he said no, so I killed him and he died....even though he was at the well near the hospital. TL;DR Sometimes this game can be so frustrating for all the wrong reasons.

People say that Oh art devs stick to art, well then what gives? models like clothing should have many variants, and should be constantly be worked on. You going to tell me it takes a month to make a police uniform? The whole process is slow, not just features but content. Do the art people sit around and do nothing while the model makers are designing weapons/models? Why not pretty up some textures, or something? I understand development can take a long time, but IMO when something is ready, it should be put into the game immediately. Oh, done with a new hat? throw it in. Done with that weapon? throw it in. That way when something breaks again, you can go back and see when it broke...instead of going through the entire changelog trying to figure out why/how something broke somewhere. To me the problem with this Alpha other than the lack of community manager is that it gets updates like its a post alpha game. Of course I want DayZ to succeed, I loved the mod and enjoy the SA. But like mentioned in other posts in this thread...there are free mods that offer more content than DayZ and at the rate it APPEARS to be going (because of lack of communication and slow updates) that SA will not match those games...even if it has made so much money that this really shouldn't be an issue to begin with...

I thought it was my character at first, but I remembered after I died I was wearing a yellow raincoat and none of those characters were. I didn't mean for this to go into the direction of cheating talk I just wasn't sure if that is what I was seeing or if it was a bug. Still doesn't make sense to me hah
