This is all great and of course should be implemented and not even very hard to do. But. It took them months to simply fix the reticle when it was not centered properly, do you think they can pull off something like you're proposing? They are so bad. It is almost like the base of the game (what we had at the release) was made by completely different people and not those who work on it now. They had all complicated stuff built back then and now they just making some assets (more things to call placeholder).

Very disappointing on multiple levels. More disappointed in the devs than in the game itself actually. Seemingly a little thing, well, let's say not huge, but for some reason it matters a lot to me. It is far worse than all the bugs and rubberbandings put together. The reason for that it is not because of devs incompetence (which I hope they will overcome) but a decision on their part. It is like they hurting me on purpose, not by accident and this is so much worse. For me this is one of those straws that eventually break the camel's back.

100% agreed to every word. Also on European servers a major part of side chat is "STFU IN RUSSIAN SPEAK ENGLISH ONLY!!1111oneone"

Which one do you like more?

When it is finished 90% of us will be dead, no one lives that long.

Have you played Overwatch? Things like that happen all the time, plus helis above, they only add to the fun.

Ah, vehicle hoarders. It totally explains why you are against helicopters.

Yes it is too much effort because most camps are looted and empty. You can't really hide stuff on this not very big map.

Yeah, I stopped for camps/vehicles at first. After 30th empty camp I stopped doing that. Actually, if I am flying in a helicopter it means that I am going to die in a crash so I don't need anything. And keeping a helicopter over the course of multiple game sessions is something that never happens, nowhere to hide it on such a small map. Same goes for your camp, it would be looted in 3 days tops, with helis or without them. If it isn't the case with you then you are playing with noobs as Bororm said. About the game being supposed to be a survival horror, well, I am not scared so it isn't a horror and surviving is pretty easy if you know what to do. Ok, you survived, now what? Boring. Why limit the game to survival when it can be much more and still have your precious survival.

Idiots and crybabies are going to ruin this game for me. How anything can be overpowered when everyone have equal chances to get their hands on it? It is not easy to spot players unless they are completely clueless. Tents and vehicles - yes. But if I have a heli then I wouldn't bother stopping at every tent and every vehicle. I spent many many hours playing the mod, probably close to 1000 hours, that includes mods like Overwatch (lots of helis) and I can't remember being killed a single time by a helicopter. It probably happened, but if I can't even remember (I don't drink or use substances) it is clearly a rare event and not an issue. I have been shot at by helis many times. I have shot down multiple helis with regular firearms, took over even more of them, been shot down while flying many times, and of course killed many players while flying. And I am not even very good at this game. So I really hate to say these words but to those who cry about helis being overpovered: learn to play. It is very easy to avoid being killed by a heli even after they spot you, unless they have people on the ground, even then it is manageable. BUT, the main point, even being hunted by a heli is FUN, how anyone can not see that. Even if you die, there is a good chance for epicness, and why anyone would say no to that? Instead you prefer to do something apparently much more interesting - collecting beans. What is wrong with you people, you already have boring lives, why do you want a boring game.

I wouldn't say they're developing it wrong, yet I voted for 'no' because it was one vote behind at the moment and saying 'yes' would be like saying there are no problems and all is shiny, which is not the case. What they're doing may be not 'wrong' per se, but it seems to me that they're either slacking or incompetent. They need to get a grip, stop jumping from thing to thing, develop a schedule and follow it, develop plan B in case something doesn't work, hell, develop plans C, D, E, F and G, childhood is over, millions of people who paid their money are waiting. Stop making excuses and GET TO WORK. If you can't do what you signed up for then get someone who can.

I don't think they don't want to make a good game. They want, just can't, because they're bad at it. They love switching stuff, scrapping everything and starting over etc, don't encourage that, I don't want the game to be in development for the eternity, I'd rather have something to play than nothing at all. BTW about zeds, do you people remember how they were showing off their new zeds before the release? Telling us how much better they're now and showing their improved running around routine? Now it turned out that new zeds are crap they suddenly "just a placeholder". Just an example of how easily they change their opinions. If they use a different engine it is not going to be better, it will just take more time and may actually be even worse than what we have now.

People seem to think that when cars are added they are going to use them all the time. What is most likely going to happen, you'll maybe see or hear someone else riding in a car like once per week and consider it a lucky day. Then, after a couple of months you'll maybe get your own car, stash it in the deepest forest and find out next day that it is missing.

Oh yeah, knock them out, shave their beard off and leave them. I so hope they implement this.

Using ad hominem argument is never a good idea, did I do those things you mentioned or not - doesn't change a thing about dayz devs incompetence. Sure, they mean well and they try hard, but they just aren't good at what they do. Except their art department maybe.

Competent devs.

Yeah, I actually drank from streams and rivers many many times IRL, never had any issues at all. But in general you are right, water should be boiled before consuming. You see, at the moment noone shits near water sources in Chernarus, so we don't have to boil anything. But that must change.

On a more serious note, come on people, this is something every one of us do (almost) every day, what's so terrible with that? It is not like you're going to actually smell the smell in game or something. No, really, in all seriousness. You can't shit whenever you want IRL and this is how it should be in game. Yes sometimes maybe it will come at just the right time, someone will post it on youtube and we all will have a laugh and move on. Thats it. And you can't throw feces like a monkey (although I wouldn't be too much against it). But imagine possibilities for disease related stuff. Real server-wide epidemics could happen. Also knowing the devs there inevitably would be some hilarious fuckups along the way, it is going to be so much fun.

How is that related to hacking? No no no it is not there. It is somewhere after that. Much farther than that.

Don't worry, mother nature will take care of it. I sure hope that it will be in. Feces is a vital part in disease transmission, there is no dayz without feces.
