Badly made ALPHA lol.

It is. Maths mofo.

Yeah the devs really are looking at the wrong things. Stop adding more shit that doesn't work right, and get whats in there solid.

Agreed. DayZ: Great idea, Horribly implemented.

I've mixed feelings tbh. As it stands, I think the combination of loot cycling with set spawns makes it unfair, while detracting from the 'must survive' element of the mod. Loot cycling alone, its hard to maintain a hold on a location to perform it, so if you have the numbers and the organisation, cool, go for it. but when its combined with knowing EXACTLY what spawns WHERE, I think its a bit game breaking. 1) it negates the moving round looking for gear. 2) it negates the 'luck of the draw' excitement from finding something badass. 3) its a contributing factor in the map having 'hot' spots and 'dead' areas. I think loot shouldn't be so localised.

Think it helps if you kill a ZED before logging out. Daft as it seems it forces the server to log your location etc. And yeah, its that fucking stupid.

Yeah i think the idea is shite as well.

Best time to wouldn't you say?If you boil away the OPs personal tale and look at the bare feedback in what they are saying, they are pointing out that the gameplay is a bit dull and the mod needs more than *Find stuff>Hide Stuff>Protect Stuff/Kill for Stuff* before it mutates into a full blown game. When viewed like that i'd tend to agree. Rockets proposed future content doesn't hold much hope personally. Underground bases etc are just the same stuff we have now just approached slightly differently. What (IMO) needs work is the whole spawn system and the way server hopping gets treated. As it stands, DayZs main goal is to get good gear, but the flawed spawn and farming system we have now makes a mockery of that, so there is core issues needing changes.

Again, its about people treating a pastime as if its a fucking murder. Personally, the fact that the hardcore are so extreme is actually off putting. Potentially, if you shoot the wrong person ingame you can find your personal details online in some fuckers rage thread.

Nice one guys, not only do you miss my point entirely its also a good insight into the mob mentality here. At least Psyl3nt is capable of reading. (Nice to talk with you btw Psyl3nt, its always a refreshing change to meet someone online that displays intelligence.)My concerns are about players acting like games are serious business, to the point they are getting their spy on etc. Is a game ffs. Seriously some players need to give their computers away and go see a doctor for something to treat their paranoia. Theres something wrong when a fun pastime gets to the point that people are doing this shit.

Well, i've seen 2 other vids of them really not working well at all. Kind of as expected. I'll have a look for the vids and link them, but a brief rundown of issues is: 1) placement issues, they appear behind you, in mid air etc. 2) they remain in-place, while being invisible after they are 'removed'. You thought barbed wire was bad.

Oh shut up. Stop following people around the forums and stop trying to start petty fights in an effort to derail threads. Welcome to ignore. good day.

Sounds fair, as long as they investigate whats making the sound still its a good idea.

Anything you have to say is being ignored due to just throwing this in. Its pointless talking to someone whos obviously going to be aggressive against anyone that doesn't share their opinion.

Both of you are cunts. Carry on.

You don't have to say any of that its understood, but you seem to be missing my point slightly, only slightly but still. Its the thought that during some of my super-happy-double-fun gaming time, i may get caught up in some 'hardcore' basement dwellers shitstorm. (I'm wandering a bit off topic here, i'm not aiming that at OP or anyone just to be clear) The level of seriousness some players and clans take it to is almost worrying, i've seen some cases on game forums of people exposing other players emails, address, phone numbers even because its claimed they are a hacker, and its turned out the accused is just a better shot and legit, but they still get hate mail from idiots they have never met over a game. I wouldn't be worried if gamers weren't such a bunch of self-important cheating fucks but most of them are. Its like people crying that PVP is bad in this mod due to 'X', when really its just because your average gamer is a net-raging arsehole. This amount of hate in ALL game communities is pretty frightful. Thats what i'm saying. We've somehow managed to taking gaming from having fun with bubble blowing dinosaurs and turned it into a 'serious spy bizess' thing that people get fucking stabbed over. I mean come on,what the actual fuck? Yeah fair enough, accepted, its just the wider implications what worry me, see my last post in here. i'd like to also point out again i'm not getting angry at anyone, its just the thought of being spied on while i hunt for beans is a bit creepy.

The devs don't seem to do resets on update at all for some reason. Wish they would with some changes as it would make sense to have major changes tested by having everyone on a level playing field, but i can see that the fact this place will be hit with an even bigger shitstorm of crying might be on reason they don't reset.

As cheesy as it sounds, it's probably 110% true. It's wise not to fuck with Zed. Zed doesn't even see the gaping holes in his/her own ideas and just like every other twat on here just swaggers about shouting down any discussion while waving an e-peen about like post count and big talk matters. They are as tedious and unhelpful as all the people crying about patch changes 2 hours after they come into play.

Nah its more the aspect that any fucking mug that loses in game to someone can get raged about how they can't lose to anyone therefore their killer is a hacker can record people. Its fucking insane. Its a damn computer game, why the fuck are people taking it so serious that they are getting all james bond? Don't get me wrong, hackings bang out of order, but so is the prospect of some random spying on you and recording shit. In this case granted, some prick was caught red-handed, but what if he was innocent? Some prick would have just recorded him... Thats a bit fucking iffy mate.

Half a mile is ~800m. I don't believe you. oh ya cause 300m is so more fun and real...fuck that zombies are DECAYING FLESH in all logic they should not last more than a month or two adding the effects of weather and terrain they should only last a couple weeks maybe A month nor should they be faster than a healthy human being... Point is their detection is pretty bullshit. 2 points. 1. Alpha is for finding these bugs and glitches and then working them out of the game, shortly, BUGS and GLITCHES are here to stay until a long way down the line. Better to keep it hard and iron out the bugs than nerf it and not do much work fixing the bugs. 2. The 'Zeds' aren't DECAYING FLESH. They are infected enraged humans. Still alive humans.

Man this communitys fucked. The hackers are fucked, but whats even more fucked is people illegally recording others and posting it online. I guess this mod for a computer game is serious business for some of you huh? Jesus Titty Fucking Christ guys. Doesn't mater whos playing DayZ does it? Hackers or diehards, either way its still a pit of fucking vipers.

It is possible right now. The 'Zeds' have had LoS buffed but sound detection halved. So you just have to break LoS and keep quiet. If your still running like a loon they still may hear you and come round the corner gain LoS' date=' thats the start of your problem. [/quote'] Quick question: How do you lose them in the trees, then? Because stopping on the other side of that trunk doesn't work if there's more than one zed. Play the game and find out for yourself.

Remember after every patch there are problems and always a hotfix, a few tweaks to LoS and hearing and it'll be fine. Just hold your horses and don't expect every [b']major change to run smoothly within hours of updating. 'Zeds' Running and being indoors is fine, let the devs have a week or so to tweak the matter of them spotting you in a hedge from way off and this will be a good change.

THIS. To be perfectly honest if your only sniper counter-measures is a thermal scope you really need to up your game. And use your brain. I'll give you one tip to help you learn to counter snipers without being a lazy fucker. *TIP*: Snipers are looking for the zeds around you. Use a distraction as most of the bushwookies will hit the floor and start scoping the area they can see the zeds by. So use that time to scope/binoc for them as they will most likely be stationary for this time Theres a LOT you can do to counter snipers without needing such a crutch. By your logic a single sniper could have won WWI. This isn't WWI, it's a mod in alpha. Snipers that are prone, hiding, seeing the zombies spawn, if they have RF, they generally don't miss you. So being able to have a look around the area of a town before you enter makes for a bit more balance. Instead now, we're going to have server hopping camping ghillie suited asshole griefer snipers shooting people and not even looting them, with nobody to stop them. I get the whole thing that if they miss, you can hide away, use smoke grenades, go around cover etc, or log out, jump on another server and carry on. But that's not the point. It wasn't a crutch, it was a tool to spot assholes and avoid them. Nice way to focus on one comment and totally miss the point. If they are getting a shot on you that often you are responsible to being too sloppy. When you think they are there why the hell are you just walking in and letting them get the time to line up the shot? As the other guy said, stop being lazy and take the time to flush the snipers out before running down the street begging for a bullet.
