I'd like to know... of all the players who join a server and proceed through the server lobby... how many of them ACTUALLY SUCCESSFULLY GET IN GAME.

It's fukking ridiculous. DayZ has the WORST connecting time in the history of gaming. Time from click "Join" on a server to actually getting in game is on average 7 minutes. OH... and that's if you're lucky. Sh*t, most of the time you're stuck at "loading with progress bar" or just "loading" and the server has fkng lost you/dropped your connection... and this means you're NEVER going to get in game on the current connection attempt anyway, no matter how long you wait. Christ. Fix it. For every 2 hours I play DayZ, I waste 2 hours trying to connect to a server!

Wow. Nice work ethic. Posting and notification and sh*t. You have my beans sir!

iAt first I was the same. It seemed to me like another classic "Your tears taste good" move by rocket. but then speaking to a buddy who admins a dayz server, he told me the respawn mechanism is very server resource intensive, and so the main reason for removing the respawn button wasn't some dick move by rocket (unlike the usual changes), it was aimed at reducing the lag and improving online performance for players and server.

fear not, for things will surely improve once the wise DayZ gods bless us with the 5-second disconnect timer. this ground breaking system of putting the player in a corner will surely spawn a new wave of player thinking, a new wave of free-love promoting players that when faced with danger will simply throw up their hands, hug each other and start making sweet sensual love on the floor of the military barracks....... just like rocket intended from day 1. :| now i still sometimes consider not shooting. give me a little time. i'll be at fire-first in no time <_<

Very unlucky. why the hell didn't they just remove all stupid military zombie corpses while they get the graphical artefact/tearing fixed. now the changelog is reporting is "should" be fixed because the file has been "rebinarised". :rolleyes:

RE: Temperature... yeah it's fkng awesome now! (extreme sarcasm btw). :| I just absolutely love how they've taken out the temperature gauge and instead the useless little icon goes from light purple (wtf?) to blinking and then withen a minute you have a god damn cold... :| ... nice work DEVs. Really? Makes sense I guess, after-all the DayZ DEV mantra is "Your tears taste good". Facepalm. If I was the one ****ng with the code, I would have something like: 1. Player temperature drop to dangerously low levels. 2. Screen shakes a couple of seconds every 60 seconds to indicate to the player that his temperature is too low. This carries on for 10 minutes. This simulates shivering (ya know, that sht your body does in real life to warm you up) 3. If no corrective action is taken (e.g. player running around, using a heat pack, getting indoors, or standing next to a fire) then the player's screen shakes for a couple seconds every 30 seconds. This carries on for 5 minutes. 4. If no corrective action is taken then the useless temperature icon starts flashing. This carries on for 1 minute. 5. If no corrective action is taken then boom, player get a cold and starts coughing.

Someone's crying because they don't have good gear. Proceeds to destroy all others'. Seems legit.

:thumbsup:

Yup same here. At berezino as well. 2/3 of my screen is just twilight zone tears and crap. oh and don't forget about the actual time to connect to game - that's gotten even worse - up from +/3 minutes to +8. nice work, nice. Oh and that's if you're lucky enough to actually load to completion (and this is if you have the matching BETA patch and DayZ version as the server does), and don't get stuck at "forever loading screen". God help you if you somehow mismatch the DayZ or BETA version. then you're definitely gonna have to alt-F4.

very nicely said.

tried the server time function/option: didn't work for me. servers that should have been at 2300 (i.e. night time) was at 1300 (day time). tried about 5 different servers all with same results, full day when it should have been dusk/night time, before giving up on that function.

stupid stupid move DEVs.

WTF , v1.62 did screw things up. most weapons have been nerfed. apart from the obvious m1911, previously lee enfield required 1 shot to kill, now it's 2 wtf. what about the other guns?? p.s. previously - lee enfield did 2.3 damage at 100m, 2.1 damage at 800m.... not sure what it is now, but obviously it takes off less that 1.0 as it requires 2 hits to kill. wow, nice bug. - the player has 1.0 health, with weapons taking off some (like the makarov which was 0.333) or all (like the lee enfield which killed the guy twice over at 100m by taking off 2.3)

nice article. I'd like to see his analysis on a situation where the added variable is: a disconnect penalty timer (you all know, that issue rocket has a major hardon for) whereby people disconnecting from the game world (whether in or out of combat) has their character left in the game world for anywhere from 5 secs to 1 minute- and that bandit which you're now trying to avoid by disconnecting can leisurely walk up to your character (while you're disconnected) and a$$ rape it.

I think he's trying to sound smart. Awwe bless.

Hacking is not important. The single greatest threat to DayZ right now is people ALT-F4ing and respawning until they find an acceptable spawn location. Oh and bear traps. Yes, rocket wants bear traps to get full attention as well.

DayZ Development - still focusing more on "I'm gonna tell Mommy you disconnected!" issues instead of the important ones like hacking, broken spawning etc.

I don't get it either. Skipped through the video but basically saw you guys shooting at a huey... which is ingame although not on all servers.... is the "apache" in the video? Owned? Meaning you guys shot down the huey? Epic battle? Bless.

bump I assume the server drops you (the client) and the client just sits there like a potato doing nothing (genius) untill the player has to intervene and alt-f4.
