oh i know, I was just being sarcastic

me and everyone i know who have played dayz back from the mod days, we called them monkey zombies. The first encounter i had with one in standalone was when i spawned in by some farm and saw one chasing after a cow. I thought it was a very smart touch, because they don't only chase after you, they chase animals too and being a freshspawn only being live ingame for 5 seconds i thought it was good that the monkey zombie was distracted with a cow and not chasing after me so i ran off the other way

and since when does another player HAVE to be highlighted as an enemy? how would the game know what other players intentions are?

Really? for the sake of a map you probably dont even use? Do you give up that easy on everything that bothers you?

true but what I hear, Deans team is already streached to the limit. Personally I think Dean does a good job trying to keep us up to date with what is going on & even he can't make promises he isn't sure he can keep. After all in hind sight its easy for him to publically announce that the issue WILL be fixed in 2 days. only to find that the issue is a lot more complicated, then everyone starts bitching because he lied and they now lose faith in the game because the big Dean Hall promised us it would be fixed and it isn't. his team must be playing paintball instead of working on the game I want to play. They need to pull their weight because im not happy that i cant sit here all day and all night every day going "pew pew pew" with my other mates to a game i want fixed. This may be a bit of an exaggeration of course but its how I see a lot of inpatient people on game forums sometimes. They want it fixed and they want it fixed yesterday, because in 1982 you could make a game in 5 weeks, so why cant you do it now?

you honestly think they have the staff or the time to sit there and answer every single message, demand, suggestion or moan about dayz they probably get flooding in every second? No, so just Because they don't answer you should be a positive thing because instead they are spending their time constructivley trying to fix the game & they are probably already aware of the issues you messaged them about because about 5000 people have probably already told them first. Remember thaere are over 12 million people playing Dayz, do you think you have enough time in the day to sit there and answer every other person just like you with the same questions over and over and over? or would you prefer to get stuck in and get the game fixed so the messages stop?

Ghost in Balota? Last night me and my mates were looting tents in balota and we got the feeling someone was messing with us... or were they?

it seems that there is something odd with Balota. Just found another video made by someone else that shows some weird shit. Are they now adding in digital hauntings or something?

well in that case i dont wanna see you moaning the game needs more realistic features then

well i think you should at least get the option to when you open an outhouse or are in the woods even if the game doesn't depend on you doing it

there is no measure of good in real life for helping an old lady up if she falls over, but she says thank you and goes on with her day. you feel good about yourself and continue with yours. Says a lot about society when the concept of life is to only do good if you are given some sort of reward

When the game progresses further to Beta or to final release I do like the idea of having a more direct influence over character customization. I assume later on there may be more tools to create facial features/looks or what not, but what I think would look AMAZING is the ability to import your own face to appear on the character using some sort of extra tool in the character customization menu to upload your own photos. I myself am a 3D animator & video special fx artist so I know how UV mapping textures works and how you need a front photo and a side photo to maximize getting the look right, but I think it would make the game so much more personal for my player to be running around with my own likeness & i run into someone else who has their own face. It would then justify concealing your identity if you are a bandit, because at present when you peel that gas mask off and "oh my god its very white male again, he looks just like me" you kind of hope the survivors will look more random In fact below are what i knocked up of myself using a very simple and free program a few years ago. Yes the eyes are freaky as hell but they were the 3D representation and not my real eyes, the side view is a little more accurate. You get the idea.

lol and yeah if someone slapped a face of osama bin laden or hitler on their character you think you are being funny but what you are actually doing is putting an even bigger bullseye on your head. because who wouldnt wanna shoot osama in the face and teabag his corpse without pants on? So in all fairness the only person who suffers from this is the person wearing the face

This picture sums it all up & that face is perfect. This picture however, has no relevence, but i added it because its funny. "Wtf are you doing to that guy?"

1. This is dayz it happens 2. please don't say "Right thats it i'm never trusting anyone again and from now on im only going to play as a bandit & kill on sight." Seriously number 2, trust me its important. This shit happens, and alough you met a liar, next time you may not. Whenever i see a post about someone who got shot and they take it personally and become bitter (and yes i see a lot) it just tilts the game further towards being a bandit dominated game only. You need an equal amount of both bandits and friendlies otherwise we all may just play call of duty deathmatches and be done with it.

Yesterday I was driving down the road and I kid you not Jack sparrow in full pirate gear, dreadlocks and eye make up walked across the road in front of me and saluted because i didnt run him over. This is an absolute true story & my Immersion in reality was shaken but I just turned to my wife and said "you dont see that every day." and continued on my way

Yeah thats kind of my point. If people want to play as camper sniping murderers why stop them? Its not realistic but you don't take all the guns out to prevent it If people only want to play with only wrenches while wearing underwear and a cowboy hat its not realistic & they look silly.... but why stop them?

damn, well that is a real annoying shame in all honesty. because of a small minority, the majority cant have nice things

I bet one of the Devs added it as a secret joke just to see how long (if ever) someone would figure it out. Now the cats out the bag they may correct it

Um you start off hungry, thirsty unarmed and weak. you are vulnerable, you are weaker and being a freshspawn is the hardest part of the game. As soon as you get a light green energized and a light green hydrated your player then begins "healing" even if you havent been injured because you start off unhealthy and only a few hits from a zombie will kill you

I'm assuming a lot of you at one point have seen this common "chicken dance" glitch with the ice skates. I made a short funny compilation to go with mine

I remember back before i got Dayz I would read the Wiki to see all the features and one part explained blood bandits. Where a team of bandits would capture you, restrain you and keep you held in a barn as a living blood bank that they would drain as they so wish. The concept sounded terrifying and something from the Hostel films, but it intrigued me. Do people still do this or is it now a case that "ain't nobody got time fo dat" and just proceed to shoot on sight as they have a tight schedule to keep if they want to make it to NW airfield by tea time

to be an authentic and realistic zombbie apocalypse survival situation, you wouldn't have people killing all the last remaining survivors of humanity and camping out on a hill snipering people either. Sure you would get mugged, beaten and raped when the fall of law and order kicks in but thats just down to the players really

I'm actually expecting this time next year when we finally do get cars (im assuming) you will get people then moaning that they keep getting run over by players and just want to find servers without cars. Enter picard facepalm pic here
