What games have you developed? You obviously seem to know a lot about what stages weapon mechanics should be at during the creation of a game, so please let me know - what game is it you have developed? I'd very much like to play it, on top of that you sound like you know so much about round dispersion, horizontal and vertical recoil, never encountered a stoppage you must surely be a professional in combat. Please, tell me more.

This is why I shoot on sight, new spawn or not. I liked the vid though, I was really impressed in how you recorded and speeded up the entire process, kudos!

Exactly what this guy said. I had a heart attack after a long week of getting great items, logged back in and everything was gone, later to find out I had just entered a Hardcore server and everything was still as normal on a regular server.

No idea, guess it's just a time scale people are using when the game may be more enjoyable for that individual. Personally, I feel the game is enjoyable - the only time I won't play it is if no one else in my group is playing and that's only because I don't want to get into contact alone or lose the gear we've all collected together and miss out on any group action. There's a heck of a lot of people on the forums who will slant the game, suggesting the dev's haven't done anything, the game is missing content and full of bugs. Personally, I feel there are a lot of bugs. There is much more that could be added. But as much as everyone hates to say it, it is Alpha. In regards to content, I'm happy with the way dev's have added content. Most of the people on YouTube or facebook slamming the game will suggest there's only 1 or 2 guns in the game, but they just haven't been keeping up to date with logs or even referred back to the game to see what's new. It's their loss really. At present, I'm comfortable with the game and even if the Dev's decided to call it quit here, throw in the towel and shut it down, I'd still be happy that £19.99 I spent on the early release was completely and utterly worth the few weeks gameplay I've had here. I was considering typing up a review or just an opinion thing about the game, something I'm sure has been done a hundred times before, but to keep it sweet - this game, even if 95% of my time is spent running between spawn, NEAF and NWAF - is the only game I've played that I can recall which will give me an adrenaline rush like I've only ever experienced in real contact. I can see here sometimes, with a large stash of coffee, play for hours and not get a single bit bored with my friends. I recall my first kill so vividly with a 1911 that I actually had to run to a bush, take a step back and have a cigarette to calm myself down my hands were shaking so much. I've not lived a particularly boring life either. inb4 TL;DR - Personal opinion varies wildly. I love the game and would recommend to anyone who has enough patience.

Lock, bin, delete and burn this thread forever please!

I AM THE PRETTIEST GIRL ON DAYZ!!!! But srsly, I'm guessing you airsoft but that rifle is far too Pristine!

1:37 in, I give up. WE DO NOT NEED MORE GIRLS.

I don't know about that, it's kept me amused for a while now! Keep it alive! Time to get the vaseline out!

That would be awesome, the ability to hold up and take refuge or battle your way out of there would be great. Valid point, getting away from that and just bungee'd back into them would be a pain.

Hundreds of friend requests in 5, 4, 3, 2... Keep your right hand firmly on the keyboard. Did I just make this thread even worse?

Well, that went well. Personally, I'm enjoying it currently. There are a lot of bugs, there's not a lot of content. You may get bored and it game is mainly based around people shooting each other, there are a few heros and a few survivors who just scavenge but they shortly get blown away by a Berezino rooftop sniper. Like King of the Beans said, unless you're willing to contribute towards development by either dying a lot, or hiding a lot - you're best to come back another time.

Honey, you couldn't afford me.

I'm the opposite. I see Zombies a mile off, think they're players so I drop 'em and give away my position.

Breaking news on the DayZ Forum today, as what thought to be a typical fester thread became a weird, bizarre thread of cross-dressers and male prostitutes. I'm still game for selling my sexuality for beans. I'll push it to the side of tuck it between my legs, if anyone's concerned.

I can get a bid going here, do I hear 2 Cans on beans for my beautiful yet hairy prowess? I definitely agree, if my other half is remotely like she is in real life during that one week of the month and played DayZ, I'd have probably rage quit through her spawn camping me. I kind of understand OP, some of us have partners, some don't, some are in love, some are dating, but lets be honest with ourselves? Who DOESN'T want a girlfriend who will happily sit in her room, be quiet and play computer games all day?

For can of beans or tactical bacon, I can be whatever you want me to be.

Big up the 'diff! (Cardiff)

Cheers! On another note, I literally just tried clicking 'I understand' in your signature... dumb moment.

Because I'd rather let the devs get on with their shit than posting lolcats and "aint nobody got time for that" memes. I trust very people, but little goes into life without work. 2,000,000 paying customers doesn't mean these guys are made, if they're human - they'll want more money and more money will only come out of a release. When a mod or any DayZ staff in fact posts on a reply, looks at a post, finds and suggestion interesting, I trust in them to pass that off to a dev. End of the day, deal with it. Also, I "waste" my time on the forum because like many others, it's great to have a community and talk to other players, especially when they're not suggesting I put my hands up and take off all my gear.

Something tells me someone, somewhere, with certain ties to KGB would still kick off a fuss about NATO/UN being in their country, even if it was on the collapse from a zombie influencing virus. It all depends on how it started I guess, how long it took the humans to be infected and how long it took until they turned. From what I've seen so far (vehicles abandoned on the side of mountains, left in the streets, doors open and military installments just abandoned), I'd say they turned pretty quick.

If I'm going somewhere, even as the local city, on holiday or anywhere I'd ensure my daypack is secure. A bit like some people a lock on their suitcase, my everyday daypack (MTP Camelpak) has velcro ties, stern zips and flaps to cover the zip, if anyone tried getting into it while it's on my back they would have a hell of a time. I'd also ensure the easily replaceable items or items that I'd use constantly would be at the top, where as the laptop, camera and what not would buried beneath a few items. Suggesting people putting rocks in their satchel so thieves have a low chance of looting someone, personally feels like a bit of a rage whine. If you don't like getting a rock off someone, take the rock and smash their head in, you've then got the rest of their loot. It's just realistic. Anyway you shoot a backpack, it's going to miss a few items on the entry and exist. Just like a human body, you can't expect to hit the heart, lungs, kidneys, brain and everything else with 1 round unless said round is fired from something with a pretty fucking big barrel.

Nice one :) Thought you couldn't close ATC doors though?

10 minutes later you find another CR75. I wouldn't be that pissed off, in contact I'll very rarely switch to a firearm unless I was playing alone, main weapon is busted/out of mags and too suppressed to reload another. A case that I have never been in, or seen someone in. Sounds pretty clever to me, not game breaking by any means.

The only thing I agree with on this post is those asking for a thread lock. I travelled all the bloody way to NWAF for my M4 and a further 5 servers to get my ACOG, why the hell should some new spawn walk into the wooded area North or Berezino to get the same thing after I log out?

I like the sound of this, I put all my items in those protective cases and then in my backpack. Seems to fix the trick and only ever leave items that aren't the most important in my pants/jacket. My webbing (assault vest) contains magazines/other optics. Yes, I'm a hoarder.
