Yeah you are right, lets stick with the state of the art cooking pot and just leave it at that. The only way you could think these are bad ideas is if your a grumpy 65yr old arrogant drunk who hates everything under the sun Something about some people in the dayz crowd are super arrogant towards people with suggestions i noticed. Like an arrogant old alcoholic farmer or something.. Kind of like when you go to explain something to your parents and they say "ABSOLUTELY NOT" before you even get the first words out of your mouth. Being that dayz is alpha im pretty sure we bought into "EARLY ACESS" to play the role of testers who can offer input.. A lot of you guys are like overflowing with pre-prepared defensive arguments about why an idea is bad in one way or another.. Its like you are looking for a reason to discredit someones ideas.. Conservative much? What does dayz have in it now thats so great? Seriously.. tell me. I guess i shouldn't be surprised that a lot of the people here on the dayz forum act this way because 1. You have to have a certain degree of self prominence to be one of those people who make security recons around on the forum to keep people with suggestions in-line.. and second because you have to be hipster/vegan/atheis enough to be dayz fan to begin with.. I could understand people being conservative if the game was a finished masterpiece and you didn't want it to be touched... But it isn't a finished masterpiece.. So i don't get why people can be so objective to new ideas.

Lol at your large "this game is in alpha" sig They should just call it dayz alpha as the official name because its been alpha for the past two years since the start of the mod Should rename it to Yearz lol

Thats cool but i was thinking more like.. tall rock mountains with natural divots in the sides you can camp out in. Not caves

how are security cameras arcadey? you know military bases use security cameras right? So zombies fit your bill for realism but cameras are too arcadey? So if a zombie apocalypse happened all cameras on the planet would vanish? If you wanted 100% realism you should go out into the woods with a stick.. Dayz needs more things in general. A train would be entertaining and a great way to travel. The fact of the matter is that dayz in its current state provides minimal entertainment value and less and less people are occupying dayz servers with each passing day. An awesome rusty noisy steaming train could only help not hurt. And fuel is not any more or less outlandish than soda's laying around on every shelf. There is no fire in dayz, there is no fuel in dayz, there is no water in dayz.. There are just pixels and your imagination

I guess i don't really understand what it takes to create a game considering the frequency and miniscule size of the updates.. But if the stars aligned in just a certain way, and dreams could be made. These are the things i would like I KNOW NONE OF THESE CAN BE DONE THIS IS JUST A PIPE DREAM 1. Fully fenced in military bases that can be overtaken by a group of players giving them complete control to the entrance gates and manually open/close it to let in whoever they want. Perhaps a security camera pointed at the front gate and a little button speaker to talk to the person inside. 2. Huge rock mountains with natural formation holes in the sides where players can sit and make fires and be safe from the rain. 3.Fully customizable wooden houses with an unlimited amount of customizations like stealing end-tables and small mirrors from buildings just to use them inside your house. (imagine seeing a player using both hands to hold a giant painting he found in a building in elektro just so he can run it back to his house and hang it on his wall lol) 4. Actual survival- Not just soda's laying around. Players must boil water they find to disinfect it first. Or they can find the parts to make a de-salination still for their home so they can filter the salt out of ocean water. Players must find sticks and tinder to create a friction fire.. 5. Spotlights on helicopters. Imagine being in the middle of the woods in the pitch black night and a huge spotlight shines down through the trees searching for you. I would shit. 6. A train on the only track in the game that only goes when someone sits in the driver seat. 7. Little things.. Like being able to set a zombie on fire and watching it run around engulfed in flames. Or being able to wrap a shirt around the tip of a baseball bat and use it while walking down the road as a torch. 8. Swamp part of the map with 12 inch layer of floating spooky fog

Ok einstein.. what are the alternatives?? Restarting server every hour? Wake up.. loot not respawning doesn't work no matter what you argue

Damn random person on the internet you really just wrecked my feelings i am hurting so badly right now. Nobody even plays dayz.. They just like the idea of dayz. Thats why they bought it. To be a part of the trend. I have 14 people on my steam friends list who all have less than an hour played on dayz. And the other 20 people have about 2 hours played max.. Dayz is more of like.. a mirage than anything. It's the imagination in all of us that gives dayz its value, the thought of what it COULD be.. Unfortunately its lead by someone who has a completely different agenda. Capitolize, profit. evacuate. Go on dayz right now and take off the ping limit.. every server has 0 players.. Maybe 1-3 topps. Warz has a ton more people playing right now than dayz does. At least 100x more players at any given moment in this past month. Even friday at around 6pm usually when all games have the most players the dayz servers were just mostly empty. People are now becoming aware that dayz offers very little in terms of entertainment value. Just look at all the servers right now it speaks for itself. its just a shame because they made millions off dayz already.. Its been on the top of the steam charts since its debut.. Someone is seriously withholding funds. Dean hall is just the one guy smart enough to see this and capitolize on it with minimal effort and made millions.. He has made enough to hire a company of hundreds of people and create the next "valve" in terms of PC gaming.. But he doesnt give a crap about dayz.. He is witholding all the funds for himself and can't even pretend he cares (already announced leaving during alpha) The amount of time it took between the moment the free dayz mod popularity skyrocketed, and the time it took to produce the standalone was evidence enough that the game was going nowhere. Now that dayz standalone has finally come out and a number of months have passed with nothing added is further proof that dayz is just a road of empty dreams. It's just not gonna happen. dayz is and always will be just a mirage of what COULD HAVE BEEN. **teardrop**

That video of the dayz devblog just further proves the point that this game is going nowhere. -Flashlights now work during day time..uhh what? -Physics.. Physics have been in every game since half life 2.. Should have been in alpha from the start. Certainly doesn't warrant playing the game any more or less. -Hunting.. Cool now i can be bored with a pig to accompany me -New house in the map.. Changes nothing -Permanant backpacks that you can hide.. cool i guess -Desync fix.. Should be ashamed this was even an issue to begin with. Never heard of a game having "de-sync" in my 15+yrs of gaming. -Bicycles. Only part of the video that i was happy about. Seems like the finished product will be nothing more than the free dayz mod we've always already had.. Seems like they are just putting in stuff for the sake of putting in stuff.. Dean hall mentally checked out of dayz a LONG time ago. Now he is just milking the clock until he can get the hell out of there

Wow they are just too kind (zombie stuck halfway in floor takes out tissue and wipes a teardrop from his cheek)

If you are in some weird way suggesting that they are doing us a kindness for not charging us $60 for dayz that is just hilarious. I've seen free mods provide lightyears more content than dayz has for free. Dayz IS just a mod.. Call it standalone if you like but its always going to be a modification of arma no matter what. Its like putting a moustache on and trying to pass yourself off as a completely different person. Its like "hey dayz, heads up, your arma is showing" The content that the dayz standalone team has actually produced on its own would probably amount to about 30 cents worth of content from a real game. 1. Male and female player model 2. Motorcycle helmet 3. Minor cosmetic items 4. Axe, baseball bat, Wrench... 5. Two zombies The engine, the map, the weapons, the textures, the interface.. Are all arma2's.

The whole "EARLY ACESS its alpha its alpha" thing would be FINE if they did not charge a full retail price for it.. You guys are stupid if you honestly think its just a coincidence that all these games started popping up out of nowhere the moment companies were allowed to start making money off "early acess" How many games do you remember playing early acess of a long time ago for free? Virtually NONE. Because there wasn't a way they could make money off it. Ohh now they are able to charge for early acess and what a coincidence.. all these half-assed games start appearing out of the woodwork and stay in early acess forever.. Early acess is the perfect crime and everyone wants a piece of it. If the game companies could only get 30% of the money when it was 30% done.. Guess what.. there wouldnt be a thing called early acess. So many games go into early acess than just sit idle in it forever.. And why wouldnt they? It would be stupid of them to NOt exploit early acess. 1.Get to skip out on all the expenses and legal requirements of releasing a game traditionally. 2. Reap all the same benefits of final release while also shielding themselves from the bad aspects of final release (review sites being able to review them) 3. Get shielded from a big yellow damning metascore number on the steam page 4. It EVEN shields them from PLAYERS criticism because early acess generates an army of "its only alpha" warriors who attack anyone with an opinion. 5. Get to have a bulletproof excuse of doing half-assed work. The second a game should become susceptible to reviews is the SECOND they put a pricetag on it. Period. We have a product here thats not finished, its nowhere near ready, its completely broken.. But we will glady accept full price for it. DO YOU UNDERSTAND THE BALLS OF THAT??

I want to see trucks where people can ride in the back, new characters, new huge mountains with caves you can hole up in and create fires in, secret hidden passageways with boobytraps, new military bases with multiple fence clearence that a group of players can take over and control from ground/or watch tower and have full control over open and close fence gates, AK47's,M1 carbines, armories with ww2 weapons, bicycles, camoflauge quads, long tailed fur raccoon hats, Heavy machine guns mountable on trucks ..Seriously its been two years in development of dayz and we have 99% of all weapons removed, 99% of all zombies removed, 100% of vehicles and animals removed.. and a motorcycle helmet to show for it I just can't wait for the day where a real game company takes up a dayz type project

And the fact that the 0.4 version of the game changes absolutely NOTHING.. is frustrating.. Than when i stop and think that they are only working to make the 0.37 patch STABLE? So in other words we have to wait for 0.37 for another month than 0.4 to be stable?? Why they hell are they wasting the time to make TINY little alpha patches stable?? What the hell is that I just want them to work on bulk content as fast and as sloppily as possible just so we have SOMETHING.. ANYTHING.. Cars, bicycles, small planes, boats.. jesus christ. Working super hard to make tiny little incremental alpha patches STABLE is basically like.. such a waste of time. Putting dayz and stable in the same sentence is just funny to begin with

Im on the experimental branch.. They never update this game dude

I know bohemia interactive owns a studio. But he said "bohemia is the studio" which makes absolutely no sense.
