True, but as it turns out, I have to take everything back. Switching gears was not the problem. The bus was stuck indeed, and they jacked it out.. using a truck tire... somehow... don't ask me. This is what I heard later on from rumours by the guys that then owned the bus that took it off the Austrian guys that I gave it to. And when I did find the bus was missing, there was in fact a truck tire lying around at that spot. So God only knows..

Aw man.... Seriously.... I spent 8 hours getting the bus running.... and gave it away to some other dudes who drove off with it..... and now I hear it was gears that I didn't shift. Right now I wish I was a girl so that I could cry.

Nice to know... ^^ Just now I got attacked by a guy swimming through the floor. Then I got kicked because of my BEC or something, when I came back in the guy was standing up and axing me. Is that a glitch or some kind of bug exploit? Ingame name: Ranjeed Singh

I just watched till the 4th minute dreading I may have to watch another two videos labelled "dealing with racism" because a guy said "black guy". So "black guy" is racist now, is it? Would it have been okay to say "of African descent"? Puh-lease.

Nice. Good to know what kind of fresh'n'funky things hackers come up with nowadays. At least I died in a very, very special way!

Any way I can report a hacker? I was laid prone on the top of the TEC building in Chero at somewhere between 13:50 and 13:54 CET today when I was insta-headshotted from God knows how far away. I'm really not the type to cry out "hacker!!" every time I die in an awkward fashion but this had all the markings of it. Laid prone in an absolutely 100% safe corner surrounded by walls. There is absolutely no way you can shoot somebody laid prone at that position.

You're so cute. I remember when I lost my virginity.

One thing I happen to know frustrated a lot of people off was the new over-the-shoulder cam. The general consensus is that it doesn't prevent wall-trolling anyhows, which can only be prevented by playing first person, which generally hardly anybody does. Thing is it makes third person shooting from the hip much harder and this has annoyed a lot of my friends... Also, with the new loot system and no zombies, all you have for hours is crickets, even on a 30-40 player server.

I am having a hard time tagging where to put this myself. The progress within the past 12 months was extremely frustrating for me. As was said, adding new guns didn't make the game a better game in my opinion neither did a new house model here and there.. Instead, more and improved mechanics would have been great, and I don't mean things like fixing the problematic bugs so much, also not so much "features" such as indoor fireplaces or burning buildings etc. But basic things the game really needs, like a proper inventory system (one where you can not stuff a cooking pot in your jacket pockets but a decent amount of magazines in an assault vest) as well as a proper melee system (a DayZ mass brawl with melee weapons is perfect to dub the Benny Hill theme over it) Clearly, this poll can not be considered in any way to be representative, as was said, few who would vote the bottom two replies will be coming here regularly. Hope to read more good replies in the next few days though.

Well I've been playing DayZ standalone early access for one and a half years now. A lot of great players have packed it in altogether, including a lot of my friends. I am now a lone wolf. My favorite servers, usually packed full from 10.00 am CET till midnight, are now mostly half empty. What happened? Time for a poll on the situation. What is your general view on the DayZ Standalone experience as well as the performance of the Bohemia Interactive developers?

Feedback tracker is down for me all day. Anybody else?

Not worth going full gear then helping people. Best not to waste too much time gearing up. Also, the reaction of players depends on the server. Servers where you need to get whitelisted to join usually enable better player interaction in general, for example.

I like how the video starts with "hacker hacker hacker hacker" Not saying anything else. Just that I liked the intro.

I agree. A golf course would be silly in my opinion. But would a proper church or school or a real supermarket (not a mall, not a 7/11, butt a supermarket) be so far off?

You sort of have a point there. But the thing is that in my opinion, there is not enough immersion going on in Chernarous when compared to other games. Look at skyrim.. people can keep going back into that world, or Fallout 3 even, because it feels real somehow. It never gets boring though you've experienced it over and over. Like I said, a lot of stuff in Chernarous feels real, but then you get stuck in the entrance to a 6m² house and realise that the props are not to size. Can you imagine two V3 trucks passing each other out on a Chernarous country road? Another thing the buildings lack in terms of immersion is the possibility to utilise any tactics. The ship in Rify has only one way in, one way out, same goes for the town hall building in Novo. The churches have a big front door but not even benches behind which you could conceal yourself, never mind something like a pulpit. The castles are just pointless props, there is no way of getting up on some of the towers or the walls to create a community out of the castle ruins, for example. Even linear shooters like Call of Duty have buildings with at least two paths you can take. In DayZ, the building with the largest variety of tactical options is the police station. PS: I don't think Chernarous needs more development in general, but not the same crap over and over again and it all needs improvement. From the smallest wooden hut to the churches and police stations. Bigger, better buildings. The map is fine in my opinion, but when it comes to the building designs, start from scratch and resize everything completely, to be honest!
