'read only' setting on certain config files?

Players are the creepiest thing in this game - even without masks. The things some of them say makes me wonder what kind of monsters they really are... But if we're talking about masks only - xcom series had a lot of nice of those. A good inspiration.

Only this game? Checked game's audio config (when its on)? Was something changed recently (hardware/software)? Feed us some details first.

Being administrator is a full time job. More servers means more employees so its no wonder that official servers are not monitored... And yeah, i'm also waiting for some changes in security department. The amount of cheating element is taking over. Very bad PR for the studio. Rebranding won't help.

Let's not say that this game is not for everybody. For that is rather obvious. Different people search for different things - especially when most games are treating players like children. Game's about surviving and survival is fairly ruthless. Live and learn. Die and learn. Won't get any easier really.

People playing in a group are being hit by a very hard rock called "spawning". Lore says a few words about survivors but nothing about their past. How is that they "spawn" at the beach/forest/field with nothing? Maps such as Namalsk are even more ridiculous - people spawn almost naked and surrounded by glaciers - where's any logic to it? Its challenging but mostly its weird. In my opinion that's the thing that needs to be touched first. But... Is this really that important? I would say only if discord&teamspeak/... were nonexistent tech. But because of them the game is too easy to navigate already. Not to mention that features such as radios are almost abandoned by majority.

🤔 Why bother watching since its "bollocks"...? All mine points are garbage to you so i would rather ignore yer trolling/fanboism and move on. I've stated already what's wrong: vanilla needs polishing and features. And what people say in different topic? "cut out features from vanilla, just because". Ye, cut out everything that was half-assed and then nothing will be left.

Was watching a dude like a day ago and he was playing on "IntenZ". There was a warzone near any spawnpoint. Tons of people and all were crazy - like during wipe day. Still, the guy managed to escape from all that mess and reached central part of the map. Sobors, Vybors and alike for hours. Then he looted almost an entire airfield. And he failed to see or even hear from any other player. Server was packed - i mean packed, like 70+20 waiting. Dude found everything and more quite easily - because nobody else was there before him. Ak's, plate carriers - even an svd and a mag for it. So now he's a walking armoury with backpack full of different meds "for any occasion". The further he got the easier the game become. So it seems that this server's only hard at the very beginning - because too many people around (each player spawns more infected). Sure, infected are more annoying - because of all that concussion type of jazz. But that would be it. There were some pluses though... I like hesco boxes which BI removed. HardCoreBackPack is also neat. Ok. The server's got potential - but currently lack of balance is obvious. Also... Almost everything is better than vanilla (again hardcore-wise). And that's the problem. The better vanilla is, the better the game is. Which BI seems to don't understand... The biggest annoyance when it comes to playing "DayZ" is finding a server which does not suck. There was this "Frostbite" last year but cheaters killed it in my opinion.

About This Game This is your Story There are no map markers, daily quests, or scoreboards to help you create your story. There is only Chernarus – 230 square kilometers of post-Soviet country that was struck by an unknown virus, which turned the majority of its population into raging infected. Your task? To survive the collapse of civilization for as long as you possibly can. Keep in mind that death is permanent in unforgiving Chernarus. All you’ll have when you start over again are the memories of your final mistake. - store.steampowered.com/app/221100/DayZ/ So tell me... Is gathering supplies - in autumn oriented setting, right before winter - makes sense to you? Is it normal for living beings to create shelter for themselves in order to survive? Or is this game only a running simulator? Dayz without bases = dayz of 2014. It was a shitshow for most part. Simple meat grinder with m4s and mosins that was quickly losing peoples attention. Building is a feature. One is not forced to use it. It would be nice though if said feature was deeper and less clunky.

Seems more than enough. Two ways: 1) do a trick with files swapping - use dayz experimental config files in place of normal ones. (steamcommunity.com/app/221100/discussions/1/2659871421127247740/) 2) https://feedback.bistudio.com/project/view/2/ - do it officially. Since this thing is not new there should be some support from Bohemia available.

specs?

Personally i think that this mentioned server is the worst of all i've ever experienced (hardcore-wise). It's not balanced in my eyes at all. So yeah, plz no.

Seems like your pc components are having a stroke. Game needs a lot of vram; decent GPU, more than 8gb of ram and a quick storage disc (ssd).

Hehehe Climbing was always like lottery in dayz - doesn't matter which year it was. Currently ski lift's pylons are the best in my opinion.

plz no. Balance is the key towards everything. Game itself is problematic; It needs real polishing. Better game gives room for making it harder - in the end all that matters in survival are details. How many avatars died because of bugz? Because things weren't as they supposed to be? I've seen enough of ridiculously hard servers to know how it is. People are making servers where you lose your time not only because of bloated features but mostly because they trust this game too much. It's a swiss cheese and needs to be fixed first. Other than that... Great feature this medicine thing is. People are not only walking armouries but also walking pharmacies. And of course their skill as field medic is top notch. Doctor K would be proud.

There really is not much to discuss about though. For me its just another way to display what's wrong with what's already here. Personally, i don't need any fancy lore from this game at all. It's not "Skyrim". All i need here is camaraderie and a bit of time. If this sandbox was not so shabby quality wise, then people would be more interested in spending their time together. Right now though there are annoying bugs, cutted corners and cheating issues still not resolved. Players with experience will not be taking such ride again even if it means being bored to death. I know - none of mine colleagues want to touch "DayZ" anymore and for good reason. There is simply not enough changing around - changing for the better. Oh, and about this complexity of work... Desire, resources and a need - these things are required for creation process. In this particular situation desire is linked with being paid, the need with having a job and resources came with it, especially after 10 years of doing it. It's not a charity. If Livonia could be polished then Zagoria is not any different. I truly believe it's very doable. In mine line of work if i would sell half-baked product then i would also starve. People would be ruthless with me; Calling that half-baked product names and me as well. How is it that entertainment business is different and so forgiving?...

The game could use some new background but the idea is already in. Still Chernarus. All we know is one of its backwater regions - farming and tourist oriented South Zagoria. Modders didn't even tried to tackle other parts of the country when that would be rather easy, considering SZ experiences and political map officially available. Rather than that they're creating silly maps like "Barrington". With the same lame architecture and linear climate. There's a reason why games such as "Jagged Alliance 2" were an adventure worth taking. Hills, forests, plains, swamps, deserts, jungle, industrial, underground and snowy moutains... Everything neatly in place and because of that game was pleasing to the eye and more strategic. I'm not saying "Rust/7DtD is a way to go" - but some of their features are. Like marshlands of "Deer Island" map. It was so different! Such a nice alternative for constant plain fields or clean logging forests... People could also create an alternative for South Zagoria itself. Simply because default one is not "extremely well made(...)" at all. On the contrary: it's terribly made and outdated. Same copy-pasted buildings everywhere with same screwed-in decorations within are the least of a problem. Towns are generally ugly with cutted corners visible with each step. Three random shots to give an idea. Terrible transitions are visible everywhere on a map; Lackluster assets & poor execution. Outside of towns people meet with nature... You've all seen "rivers" in Zagoria. What kind of tool was used to create those? One can only guess after seeing things like this: and my favourite one: Rivers without riverbanks, full of grey water, with rippled reflections of nothing, because sky is still in its "optimal" setting after devs decided that clouds and alike are too buggy to be in. Sorry but i just can't understand 'how', and after all these years... ps. about the question... There really is no reason to venture into the gas or secret bunker besides curiosity. In vanilla it means more gear like weapons and armor. Too bad it won't help against cheaters.

Yes there was a lot of suggestions over the years and developers proved that its pointless to suggest anything. There is no response from the dev team at all. Their way od doing things is always the same: one step forward and two steps back without any discussion.

Well, masks were in the past so they're just reintroducing that idea. And who knows - they might even bring back old rendering method one day...

White-walling is a feature! Not a bug XD.

There is a problem with logic here. "Character remembers" means that locked door will just open immediately when clicked, right? It doesn't make sense. You would need a biometric type of lock for that. How is that supposed to work here? You have makeshift wooden frame attached to the crooked pole via random metal wire and then you want highly advanced lock on top of all that mess? The only thing that could - maybe - spawn such a thing across the map is un helicrash, really. People are saying that basic codelocks are OP - mostly because these things are working almost instantly after being installed. If by some remote chance these types of locks would find their way into vanilla game then they would need to be optimised for game's setting. Meaning: you would need to type the code each time and also confirm it. Each lock = more typing. If i correctly remember "DayZ Expansion mod" had its own codelock version and it worked just like that. People were forced to type their codes each time they wanted to open their doors. Big bases = lots of gates = code maps for its users. And that was fine.

That would screw so many things that its not even an option. There are mods for that.

They must start somewhere, these variables, which means just another portion of files outside of clients reach. What's the point of modding if it's limited?

Which sucks!... Because not many of those around. Such servers are usually full and frequently ddosed by moronic competition. Which is why vanilla should be a lot, a lot, A LOT better - just to mitigate the difference. Eh, whatever...
