Soon as the cooking system and crafting is fixed no one can whine about not being able to eat. You're feeling too above to forage for food? Then work for it, craft a bow or a fishing rod and get your next meal.

The mod is outdated for a while already. In the standalone logo I see a survivor prominently displayed and an infected somewhere in the background. Same as the games description putting an emphasis on actual survival instead of le epic z0mbie pwnage. Your point?

When people are talking about 'hordes' I think about hundreds of entities at once, like a moving cluster of bodies - which is why I said that this will never be in the game because the engine would blow up probably. If its just a dozen or so, then yeah ofcourse that can happen :) @Deathlove - DayZ was never really all about the infected and was never advertised as a full on 'zombie game'. At best they are just another unique element you have to fight against ingame.

Well you'll never see any 'hordes' like that in DayZ. Heaven forbid some games do actually something different!

I'm afraid you were misinformed about what DayZ is shaping up to be. It was never about the infected.

I welcome smaller player base with open arms. Not sure why people bring this up in discussions?

This would have nothing to do with DayZ.

What is with some people and their liking for 'hordes'? Is it just me or is this not fitting to the game at all? Also the standalone will never have any 'missions'. You create them yourself.

And another player who didn't inform himself beforehand and bought into the game expecting something different. DayZ has often been subscribed as the 'anti game' to make the game feel like a struggle. You are not supposed to run everywhere (stupid thing to do) or cross the map in an hour and this will eventually be supported by game mechanics.

Even more so when those 'gamez' have not much to do with what DayZ is about. That gamemode would be much better in Arma.

Dont sprint everywhere and your character wont lose calories so fast you need to eat every 30 minuted like you say.

Man I have to find a server where the accelation fits me. Being able to actually play at night/dusk/twilight without the server resetting to 24/7 sun is awesome!

Where did I defend this patch exacty? I said that it was not hard to survive these circumstances by simply using my head and adapting. Others weren't as bright and instead did the same thing over and over or were themselves too fine to go foraging dying like idiots in the process. Contrary to you, many people realize we are playing an antigame that is supposed to be a struggle and feel not entitled to fun, on top of that testing and alpha were crucial gameplay feautures can be changed on a daily basis as this is what an alpha is for. If you are not prepared for this then testing an alpha game may not be for you.

And yet another prime example of people lacking the basic understanding to learn and adapt to new things. You can choose to endlessly whine and bitch about things trying the same thing over and over again to fail and whine even more. Or you simply man up and adapt to the changes to the game which is still in alpha state throws at you. Guess which option is easier and preferred by the majority of people who are used to get everything served on a platter feeling entitled to everything?

This. Apparently people in our society become so lazy that the rather watch some other boring person do the same shit over and over again, becoming 'celebrities' in the process. Brave new world. :) For me - those streamers can die in a fire and I wouldn't even notice. I'm rather actually playing the game myself. As for those survivorgames, why don't these people just play Arma? I simply dont understand it.

Let this be a lesson, write it behind your ears, on your forehead. Everything slightl 'off', uneven, crooked, unusual will eventually have to bend over to the mouthbreathing masses and gets streamlined, clean and boring. Let it be a valuable lesson for your life, no matter if videogame, music, art etc its always the same. I am glad we atleast had a small glimpse of what could have been. Reading so many people claiming they died of starvation makes me think the future will be sinister, when so many people are unable to adapt to the simplest new things and rather bash their virtual head against the wall expecting dirrerent outcomes. Shudder..

Not even talking how silly it is that people want aerial vehicles when the more pressing issues ingame are to reach the next town alive and maybe find some food, what good would say, a chopper, be anyway? So you can travel faster to point xy, which you can already do much easier with a ground vehice except maybe for the prison island? THAT is worth destroying the mood of the game and escalating weaponry just to be able to shoot down that bird? I dont see any reason why this should be ingame.

How long did it take you to come up with this obvious troll? 10 seconds?

? Really liking what I read about the sparse loot, better infected and so on, but I am really curious what people know about the new diseases yet. Has anyone any info on this, how do they spread, infect etc?

Got a pso that I dont need if that makes you feel bettee about it.

I will never understand the appeal of 'sniping', regardless of the game. I would find it incredibly boring to lay in a bush all the time. I also think if you shoot someone from far away you are essentially robbing that guy and you the chance for a firefight that is fun. But I guess it all boils down to this, this is what people find 'cool' about it? I'd much rather be in the thick of it or most preferrably engage in middle range distance, 100metres or so. That's always the most fun engagments for me.

The second they put in NPC I'd uninstall the game. DayZ is all about the player anf player to player interaction. DayZ is unique in its approach, please dont make it 'un unique' and generic like other games.

Our player characters are immune to the 'zombie' infection. The game was always coined as an anti game, more of a simulation. Not the games fault if you feel entitled to 'fun '.

Whenever people mention aircraft 'needed' in DayZ I cringe. What purpose would these things be for? Especially on the small map size chernarus has. What purpose would attached miniguns serve? Sure, gunning down Infected, right? Im the end these will alwayd be abused to roflstomp people on the ground with no real chance to fight back, not even mentioning how easy the graphic engine makes to spot camps from the air. And then I read someone wants fighter jets even? For what purpose and why not simply play Arma? I had to facepalm when I read that. I guess DayZ is more of a playground for some people, not the anti game/simulation.

The 'Z' in DayZ stands for Zero, by the way.
