because you're not playing a Game.. you're playing a rough draft off the chalk board. shit is going to be wiped off, changed around, added back, shoved aside for something else, screwed up by the newest thing, taken back out, twisted around, crammed back in, fucked up, tinkered with, fixed just to be fucked up again by the next new thing, then fiddled wth till they get it right and re-add it back into the mix until it's working. even the shit that's been working fine will probably be taken out, strapped to the table, fucked over and tossed back in bloody and full of tears till all the parts learn to work together in one big happy finished Game. the idea is not to gear up and make camp that you'll play with forever. the idea is to gear up, test the shit out, die, gear up again, do some more playing/testing and on and on till final release. then on that day you can "play DayZ" and hoard your shit.

what have you been EATING????

binge and purge worked for me once after eating bad fruit accidentally. it took a couple tries but everything went back to normal after a while. that was more than a couple months ago though... not sure if it's been changed or not since.

I want an old VW hippie bus with an 8-track so I can play Down Under...

realism vs authenticity... that's a whole other debate. ... and apologies if I came off sounding a bit uppity in that last reply lol

" I think most 1pp advocates believe that if you want to make a realistic game then anything unrealistic should be removed." like the ability to magically heal broken bones instantly with a stick and a couple rags? or rummaging through your pack, pulling things out, organizing and shuffling stuff around.. while sprinting? or taking a shot gun blast to the face the drinking a soda and eating a can of peaches to fully heal yourself? let's leave the "realism" out of the 1pp/3pp debate huh?

wait.. why are you at a disadvantage?

no.. you can see people's character for a while when they're logging in.

climb down off your soap box there bud. in one of your last posts you compared moving a gun 10 yards to hacking and KOSing... you're a bit nutty lol continue if it makes you feel better though, you make me smile getting all riled up over moving a gun outside of a building lol

you assume way, way too much based on the single fact that I ditch some guns when I see them lol also, you seem a bit worked up over that little thing. you enjoy your game and I'll enjoy mine, cool?

not really... I can't speak for anyone else. but when i ditch guns and ammo that I don't need or want there's no malice or spite involved. this is a survival sim and one less gun or stack of ammo in someone else's pack increases my characters chance of surviving. you do not NEED a gun to survive. I don't eat, hoard, or hide every bit of food. only enough to fill my canteen and belly then a couple cans in my pack. the rest is left for other survivors. melee weapons I leave alone as well. everyone deserves to have a Zed Whacker and shouldn't be totally defenseless. but ammunition and guns... yes, nine times out of ten I'll ditch them in the back yard or other side of the fence. I don't make it a point to empty entire villages or whole areas of ammo/guns, that's overkill. but if they're on my path I'll tuck them out of the way. I play (mostly lol) with a "what would I do if this were real?" mentality. and if this we're happening in real life I can honestly say I wouldn't be leaving things like that laying around in the open for someone else to find. not having a gun has never ruined my gaming experience, in fact it's made surviving more of a reward.

not surprising at all. 50% like to as it is, 21% like 3pp but think it can be changed slightly, 6% think it should be changed slightly in some other way... leaving just a hair over 1/5th not wanting 3pp in any form.

leave it as it is.. funny reading about people who jam their W key to auto run then come and write a post about how they're lost in some weird area.

in most cases I would agree with you.. but come on man, give up on this one, it's plain to see it's Not a loot spawn problem with all those M4's laying there. are you saying a group of kind hearted individuals went out of their way to drop kitted out M4s, mosins, AKs, hundreds of clips, ammo boxes, protector cases and tons of other shit in a church for the hell of it?

at first I thought it was kind of dumb... but then I saw the skinning part... does that mean we'll have people shaped improvised backpacks?? tie the left leg/arm and right leg/arm to each other for shoulder straps? I'm gonna name mine Willson!

didn't know what you two were talking about at the time... but when I read this, holy shit did it make me laugh

yeah, except there is no "somewhere innocent" in this game. it doesn't matter if someone is looking for a fight or not... everyone is fighting to survive. as soon as you enter the sever you are entering a fight. I'm not a big fan of sniping, or kos, but come on.. are you really gonna play the "if the other person doesn't see you it's not pvp" card? the whole point of sniping is to be hidden. sniping and kos'ing fresh spawn is pretty low, no argument there. but just because a person has no intention of engaging anyone else while looting some far off little town, unaware or ignorant of their surroundings, does not excuse them from being a target.

try rolling.. worked for me once. and the jumping/vaulting towards the outside usually works after a long while

I don't think we should start with a map, but I do think we should be able to walk into any gas station or grocery store and find one. hunting down the pieces for the jigsaw map was fun, once.

if they're cool and ask nice then give them a bullet and send them to a new spawn. if they're being a dick about it.. break legs like OP did.

you did read the OP, right? lol

finding a bag, even a kids bag, is one of my worries when I spawn. up to that point I have to actually make an effort to survive.. pick what I 'need' to have and can carry in 4 pant pockets and 3-4 pockets in the nearly ruined coats I manage to find. to me bags make the game much easier and that takes some of the fun out of it. I pass over mountain packs because there's so much room that the game stops being dayz and ends up being Hoarders on Foot.

splitting axe, matches, rags, canteen and whatever gun I find ammo for... the rest is bells and whistles

so in your words a "valuable" alpha tester is one who loses a character to a known (and very well known) bug then leaves screaming "blahharglebarglebubbleimcompletethisgamesucksimoutyall!!!"? and who are theses valuable alpha testers that are leaving? I think in reality you found your special kit you've been searching for and was silly enough to stop and stand on a staircase... when, if you had done any research or barely skimmed the forums you would know this action means death.. and you're throwing a hissy fit over it. it's ok though... I myself have taken a break now and then from days. come back later dude, refreshed and ready to have your favorite kit fucked up again and again. because, really, dying and restarting is the best way (in my opinion) to test this game. but that's just my opinion...

can you share with us some of these games you've worked on? these projects you've been involved with? I'd like to take you seriously and take your comment as coming from someone with experience in game development... but really anyone can jump on a forum and pretend to have experience and talk with authority on how this particular title should be progressing.
