welcome to the internet

Oh my god this is so shit, I can't believe this unfinished painting looks as bad as it does. I am going to complain because I want this painting to look amazing while im looking at it. Yes this is you people

to be fair, if this was a closed project with funding and the only progress anyone got to see of dayz was a bunch of screenshots or a few teaser videos updated once every 3 months or so, none of the whining man children on here would have anything to bitch about. the fact that they opened it to the public is a generous and awesome treat many dont seem to fully appreciate

I want to be able to play by living in the wilderness off the land without havinbg to rely too much on going into towns for instance Make my own bags, bows and arrows etc... and obviously at the moment you only make a fire by using matches, but i would like to see more ways to light a fire, by using sticks (kindling) rub them together the old fashion way, or use glasses with the sun to start a fire. and in order to cut trees down, craft a hatchet using a stick, rope and a stone.

I know, i was only thinking in terms of not relying on having to go in to a town to find one

title says it all, we were a 7 man team and somehow got picked off one by one by an organised group of players, then respawned at berezino where we were attacked by 2 naked russians who were insane and all about the rape

so what are your thoughts about the buggy AI of the game? Are they they Zombies in the true sense that they are dead and reanimated or are they the living infected? Not that it makes any difference to gameplay or how we deal with them, but how do you see them?

indeed. I sometimes zone out a lot and drift into my own world where im in an apocalypse & think to myself "what would i really do if faced with my wife or my son after they turned?" its easy in hind sight to say "Fuck it, this is survival, they are finished" then blow their heads off, but when you have that emotional connection and you know the only thing you can do is either leave them or shoot them, there is that little voice inside your head that stops you and reminds you that these are your family, what if they can be saved? The most upsetting vision i get is the thought that my 8 year old son is turned into infected but hes outside the house. The thought of him being infected is really a chocker, but what rally pulls my heartstrings as a father is that hes out there on his own, in the dark. He's autistic and afraid of being on his own abd afraid of the dark. This is the real shit only parents can relate to, and when you zone back in and realize that its all fantasy you feel a little better.

I was thinking of putting together a comic of Dayz I have made quite a few, one of which has been submitted to Image comics and awaiting review (see pics below) and I do have my own website with a variety of different comics in many different art forms http://dj-comics.com/comics/ So my question is, how would people feel about a Dayz Comic & what would you like for the back story on how it all started? I like the idea that the crashed ship in Rify brought the infection and all the sailors were sick and crashed on chernarus. Then after a while everything goes dark & a team of CDC type scientists are sent to check out whats going on, and everything goes haywire & our main character is left stranded here and has to figure out whats happened, meet other survivors, deal with bandits and all the like, but with an actual Story put in place to make it more interesting. What do you think? Also the below pics are from my recent comic thats going in for publication

In terms of copyrights it depends on company to company but so long as you don't gain any revenue from making it they are usually thankful for the free publicity. I did the official comic for frontier: elite 2 (Classic pc game from 1992) and the forum went mad, I released it for free and by the time I made all 5 comics it had been translated into 10 different languages and had ended up on numerous elite websites with thousands of recorded downloads so I must have done something right

I did the art and the story but used a writer/friend that helped me with the dialogue

have you seen what russian people wear in some of the lower class areas? I think they got the clothes looking just right in all honesty. The game just needs a bunch of old ladas with dashcams on standby

I don't know whats up but today I have had nothing but problems with Dayz. After 20 minutes of playing no matter what server im on, I suddenly get the "no message recieved for (Counter)" at first i assumed it was my bad luck joining servers that are due to reset but it is literally happening o every server now. I got caught out in svet earlier, by the time i could log back in I had 2 zombies attacking me before i could do anything and just now I ended up getting into contact with another player and the second i started firing again I get the " no message recieved."

Frankly I don't see what the fuss is all about, looking all over the net I see why people keep saying its a bad idea. So what if it is? It's not going to ffect your pc gaming in the slightest, if you don't want it on a console, then don't buy it on a console, simple. I can see a few plus sides to a ps4 port... - firstly anyone who is running a laptop or low end pc will get to see the game in full detail hopefully, so long as they don't reduce that on final release. - The ps4 has a laptop mouse style pad so I can imagine using that in the inventory panel could help, but I do find it a bit too sensitive sometimes, unless i need to change that in settings - No hackers. I'm assuming there won't be anyway. - if there are any unfixed bugs on final release you can get ps4 updates and fixes too.

Have to disagree with everything there. He is in 2 seperate videos where he met hackers in dayz, one was glitching all over the place and he made it clear he wasn't happy with the hacking community ruining the game, another video he killed a player that had an m4 with hacked mags and he threw it into the nearest bush he could find. And horrible innacuracy in slamming Dayz? Come on man, you need to wake up a little and actually listen to what he's saying instead of sitting there like a stubborn kid with his fingers in his ears saying "no no no, I don't like you and I don't want to hear what you have to say." Most of what he said in his recent survive the night video was spot on. Just seems to me that people get jealous because his youtube subs are through the roof and he can make a nice living off the youtube monetization he gets. So people decide to bitch and moan about him because they can't be as successful

thank god it isnt just me then. The only thing i had changed today was putting the screen res right down from 1920x1080 to 1280x720 and all the video fx right up to improve my fps which worked great and the game looks better, but i thought it might be crashing because of it

just happened again, but when i press the exit button dayz locks up and i have to ctrl alt delete and thge program isnt responding. and no it wasnt a kill on sight, it was self defence as they fired first. and not exp its the stable version

I think ammo should be ultra rare in all honesty. With the increased zombie spawns in towns and such it REALLY should be a point for the player to decide if risking a single round is worth it. In a real apocalypse you dont have the luxury of jumping dimensions to get more ammo. You should be stuck with a few rusty rounds left and an axe on standby. Not only will this help KOS but will also make ammo more valuable and not worth risking

you clearly know nothing about what alpha means? For one it means adding a ton of features, items and new things to play with, they will also try to fix any BAD bugs and glitchs that make the alpha testing more bearable. Still with me so far? Good, because BETA is when most items and features have been added and they then go on to fine tune everything else & fix all the remaining issues and bugs before they can finally wrap it all up and go to final release state. Secondly, yes they are eventually going to port it over to PS4....................................................... you think that they are going to release it on ps4 next week? Or maybe when the PC version gets to release status? I can see a lot of these topics are basically wash, recycle repeat, of the same thing over and over. Also for the people saying a ps4 version is bad... And? so what if it is? How is a consolve version of the game going to interrupt your pc gaming if at all? Don't worry about it, if you don't want to play it on ps4 then don't. It won't affect you in the slightest

why is it a dumb idea? Just because YOU don't like it?

aside from the fact there are resurrected zombies in the game, you think using a defib is out of the question?

You mean like a morphine injector is able to magically repair a broken limb or a splint will allow your player to sprint like Usain Boltafter applying it? Come on now, all bugs and glitches aside there are enough features of dayz implemented that remove realism all together, having a defibrilator to bring back fallen team mates from death really can't be that much out of the question.

I also think that to see bodies in beds, they should at least update those shitty rushed bed models they currently have in the game. I know they are ported over from the arma 2 models, but they just look terrible.
