    it is not even 10% of the people who play the game, it can not be taken as a general thought of the community

    My thought exactly. It would be a pretty bad idea if game features are changed or added by means of the majority vote. Before you know it the game could be a mindless PvP only game.

    This thread reminds me of the thread you created a while ago called 90% of players are unimaginitive simpletons.  Not really all that helpful and directed at no one in particular, inciting flames.  hmm.

    I guess it is my clumsy way to appeal to the general audience to participate and not just bore us (well me at least) with KOS and flaming, These texts are directed to those " who fit the shoe".

    But in 1500 posts over the years only a few have been like these two. But you are right both posts probably didn't amount to much.

    I should probably start a thread like: Why we don't care about your PC stats...

    It's more functional than boasting. When discussing performance issue or other possibly systems related bugs I can simply refer to my signature for my specific specs to help analysis.

    You can turn them off if you don't wanna see them 😉

    So many posts are made by players ranting why they are going to quit the game. Seriously, most here don't give a shit about your reasoning and unmet expectations. 90% of the time the reasons are based on a bad understanding of the intentions of the game, a bad understanding of game development and a bad case of entitlement without ever having contributed to the development of the game in any way. Also, it is hard to take these rants seriously, if you are done with the game, it's bugs and lumbering development that's fine, it's obviously not for all. But please just leave the game and the forums and don't be a drama queen making a scene hoping someone will beg you to stay. That said, we all know you will most likely return in a later phase of development anyway. Thanks, your silent retreat will be appreciated by many and will help keep the bullshit topics hopefully to a minimum.

    Question: is the game shock full of bugs right now? I mean serious bugs (like this) that happens often (not just every 5-9 hours or so) ?

     

    No, this specific bug don't seem to happen much although I've had trouble on this type of ladder / radio mast before during beta. It's not so much that I would expect Dayz to be completely without bugs at 1.0 but I do have a hard time understanding that after 5 years we still have to deal with bugs that screw with basics, like movement and simply navigating the terrain / world. If I were a developer I would at least have the most basic player control under complete control before releasing my game to the general public. But what do I know?

    Even if bug X or Y exists in 1.0 what does that mean? nothing.

    I disagree to at least a degree. 1.0 or whatever the version number is not really the point here, releasing the game in a state like this to the general public is a bad idea imo. After all, the state in which it is released is not even close to the intended experience (at least I very much hope so). No hypothermia, no hyperthermia (without consequence anyway), no disease, no vehicles (well hardly), unreliable persistence, camps not really secure, weapon bugs, bugged ballistics, bugged stamina system, many many items missing or not working, unbalanced loot economy (how many pea coats do we need?) sadly outdated house models, hardly any wildlife,  and so on. I know, we are still not finished yet and who knows how much more will be added in the 1.0 release we don't know about at this time? This game is still not even close to the envisioned game the (original) developers and many of us have (had?). If have rarely been this critical during my time here but I am now truly worried about the end-state of this game, and obviously many with me. I hope I am just too impatient (since march 2014) and very very wrong.

    Just to clarify on that a bit, we've shown gifs of the new Flashlight animation in our Status Report from September. This is the regular way light sources are carried without having to raise your hands. This is also important so that a raised light source is not confused with an aggressive stance.

    Thanks and yes that is an improvement. However, a flare or torch has an open light source (not shielded on the back side like a flashlight) so in that animation you would still be blinded. In real life you would never carry a light source shining back directly in your eyes, messing with your night vision.

    The smoke looks horrible (xbox graphics?) and makes no sense whatsoever considering that by the looks of it that chopper has been there for many years (rust, internals gutted, sunken into the ground), how the hell would it still be smoking?

    Just wondering if anyone can help with these couple of questions. I apologise in advance as all my knowledge comes from youtube videos and not from actually playing (due to being an xbox guy).

    1) In terms of player progression, other than items you gather along your struggles, is there any other form of character progression?

    2) With base/tent building, can you do anything to defend your base/tent other than be online when someone turns up?

     

    Thanks in advance! Pumped for the xbox release!

    1: beard grow, possibly soft skills and scars

    2: probably mines and traps

    Note: all this is not implemented yet and possibly there will be more, but those are things that are mentioned from the top of my head. Mines and traps were already in at some time during development but removed later.

    I have bound "toggle raise weapon" to CTRL but most times when I push it it will raise and immediately lower again, usually it takes a few times before it stays raised.

    Do others experience this too? BTW I use a mechanical keyboard (Steelseries Apex M500) and I wonder if that may be the issue? Maybe it continuously registers input?

    yes your exp. char will be preserved after playing the stress test. But, be prepared that you exp character will probably be wiped soon anyway so for character preservation you can only rely on the stable branch, but even those can have wipes. Of course, the devs intent to push 0.63 as soon as possible to the stable branch and then your character will be wiped too. Don't get hung up (yet) on your characters too much, that will come when the game officially hits 1.0. and you'll have a proper chance to grow a beard ;)

    Also on stable branch you can have a character on the public branch (official servers) for 1st and 3rd person servers, same for experimental branch. On all private servers you will have separate characters, admins however may decide to do a character wipe for whatever reason. So in theory an unlimited amount of characters.

    People complaining about people complaining is a problem too. Reviews and feedback exist for a reason. If someone paid for something and is not happy with it they have the right to complain as much as they want. If there is a lot of people complaining about something it's a reminder to the devs that this problem exists and needs to be addressed. So what if there's been lots of people complaining about the same thing? Everyone can complain about what they don't like, and if there's 100 people complaining about the same thing then that means it's a big issue - and you should not tell them to  stop complaining just because "it's already been complained about in the past".  And these aren't even dumb or trollish complaints. I am patient with the devs and the game and I have no problem waiting for them to finish the game, but I'm not blinded like some people here. There is A LOT to complain about, and it's understandable why a lot of people complain and say the game is dead etc. You obviously have some people whose complaints are done without any research, but those aren't any less valuable. Let's say someone pays for the game, plays it, sees how broken and unplayable it is, then leaves the game for 3-4 years, doesn't keep track of any of the status reports and the dev updates, just forgets about this game. Then comes back after 4 years to see that it's still a broken mess just like it was 4 years ago. What do they do? They complain about it and it's understandable. Even though they haven't done any research on the current state of the game and what the devs have to say, their complaint is valid and it shows what the people who aren't regularly following the forums think about the game. Complaining should not be discouraged. If you do that's basically dictatorship.

    With that being said, what I'm disappointed in with the devs is that they can't even make a tiny update to fix the broken hunger and thirst system in 0.63. It currently makes the game not enjoyable because you die from starvation and hunger WAY too fast and a lot of people complained about it saying that it's unplayable because of this one small thing. How much time would it take to make this fix? 5 minutes? It's just a matter of changing some number values. The update would be like 1mb but it would allow us to actually enjoy the game because we wouldn't have to eat and drink every 5 minutes. But instead we will have to wait months until another update just so this tiny thing gets fixed. This isn't the first time this is happening, there's been plenty of tiny things that made the game unplayable that could be fixed in literally 5 minutes with a tiny update, but they apparently can't take 5 minutes out of their super busy 8 months to make a tiny update to fix a tiny issue that single handedly ruins the game.

    If you want a playable experience you need to go to stable/0.62, that's what it's there for, how hard is that to understand? That said, I do not recognize your troubles with dehydration and starvation in 0.63, only challenge is when you spawn in but there are plenty of apples and water to get you fed and hydrated, once achieved you can go without eating and drinking for a pretty long time.
