Wait, are you telling us that 'Plan B' is to get yourself banned? Out of curiosity, how do you plan on getting yourself banned on these forums if you're unable to delete your account?

You know, if they had some centralized location where all the information is there, discord or no, then that would be great. They've announced a wipe with this update and it happened right away. I couldn't be happier. But before that, I've asked every update on the day they release the changelog with no response. This happened over and over. Eventually they'd get around to announcing it on Twitter. So, I made a huge stink about it. I called out the PR manager who had never been to this website before to give us information about Dayz on the Dayz website. Finally, something happened. The logical conclusion is to make a lot of noise if you want anything, I guess. The original plan, before most of the dev team left, was to use this website to communicate with the masses, to promote the game. Look at all of the opportunity that they've thrown away. From not hiring the guy who went on to make PubG, to dumping Survivor Games, to not communicating at all with the people who funded this. The DayZ brand manager has a podcast that he does? Weird that it isn't even mentioned at dayz dot com! I'm all for written discussion in a dedicated place, wherever it is. Discord is great, I use it all the time. I'm really not interested in wading through a mountain of unsolicited garbage opinions of people who want video attention, though. I want to be able to just read the information now. I don't want to sit through videos/audio for 10 minutes for 3.4 seconds of written information. If they want to move everything to Discord or whatever, then that's fine. But it looks like they have enough trouble managing ... everything... as it is.

Personally, I find the animations to be very inspiring. I don’t believe the animations need a complete overhaul. Maybe some simple additions, if possible.

So, you’re saying we should use Facebook to discuss wipes? All of those things are totally one sided compared to actual discussion. When we have questions, feedback, or bug reports, maybe we should use truth social or Twitter?

No. That’s not how it works at all. Trends don’t just happen independently from what works. People say things like “most people….” When they don’t actually have any data. The trend is to keep your opinion to yourself? That’s the trend? Lol. No. Maybe you need to re-evaluate what social media is all about.

Maybe we should avoid using nonsense like Reddit and social media platforms. Why are you trying to move the discussion off of this website? When Hicks and friends left the company BI stopped using this website. It’s a real shame because this was a real hub of information. Now the dayz ‘brand manager’ relies on social media bullshit and podcasts to ‘communicate’ with their customers. Not that players should have any say whatsoever regarding whether there actually SHOULD be a wipe.

There is no reason to focus on collecting and gathering. The point is to do things. You're not wasting your character if you've been able to hang out with your group of people and have great experiences. Whether PvP or PvE or whatever, the point is to have fun and learn. There is no measuring stick for success, only create memories. Watch some great players who stream. People don't tune it to see their gear. Get your wife to buy the game like planned and help her learn how to play the game and have fun. That's the point. Getting all of the loot before she starts playing is the complete opposite of what's inherently intended.

It’s okay if you don’t understand the point. In fact, it does make sense, but you wish to not see it.

It's okay if you want to quit because it's too hard to find loot.

And I refuse to watch movies until Disney owns all of the streaming services.

I knew you were an American. Welcome home.

I take it all back. We shouldn't wipe. We wouldn't want this guy to get his revenge.

What’s wrong with multiple accounts? I’ve got like 4 accounts in my house.and they’re all legit. My kids play on two different platforms, just like me. No need to worry about cheaters. I’m sure BattleEye will catch ‘em all.

It’s hard to imagine that someone would quit because they lost all of their loot. It’s been so long since I’ve been a total noob, so I guess I forgot what it’s like. it’s been so long since I wasn’t able to appreciate that loot is worthless and memories/experience are much more important. Imagine how upset you’d have to be to yell at other forum users about losing your loot. How childish.

Great first post and all. Welcome to the forums. Please put down the peyote and slowly back away. Yes. Livonia is a great map! The amount of attention and detail that is put into the map is impressive! If you've played Dayz enough and plan on playing quite a bit more than I suggest picking it up when it is affordable. 🙂

No one is going to sympathize with your whining. This has been the norm for years. You didn’t do your homework, clearly. All the garbage that your character collected was never hard to acquire. When you get more experience, this becomes obvious. You’re WAY too late to get your money back. Suck it up like everyone else.

Thank you for the announcement. Full wipe is probably best.

Seems gamey. Poop doesn’t leave a noticeable gas. Humans don’t track other humans this way. People will shit their pants or die before throwing up due to bowel obstruction. it seems like the purpose of this suggestion is to prevent camping. I’d say that there are other tactics available and gamey mechanics aren’t necessary.

Right. Been asking for wipe announcements to accompany updates for some time now. At least they have the info on the front page.

Personally, I don’t wonder at all. It was for money. Many sacrifices were made so BI could get money from console people. Pretty simple business decision, I guess. More interesting, I think, is the idea that more maps would attract more consumers. I would disagree, especially with current staff levels.

What’s not right is adding mods to the experimental branch because it doesn’t help to squash bugs or test new mechanics. I reckon it’s not intended for strong user experiences.

no

No. Everyone should expect a finished product upon the finished release. That’s what finished release means. That precedent has existed for some time now. Further, Microsoft and Sony were only willing to accept a product in a finished state. So, BI has made the claim that the title is finished. So we hold them accountable for making this. All console cartridge games that can’t receive updates are in a finished state. The game is not in beta. The game left ‘beta’ after a very short time having many glaring issues in order to get that console cash flow. Ask anybody. Where have you been? The OP, and others, have mentioned that they tried your suggestion. It didn’t work. Did you read any of the related posts?

Heh. So, when the game officially leaves beta, we should expect fully functional systems, right? Whenever someone says that they reinstall something in order to fix a dayz problem, instant eye rolling happens. It’s probably the game and not your system. did you even try to release/renew your ip?

People will just make their own servers into experimental builds.
