Okay, sure. It's cheaper now. At what price point will it no longer run DayZ?

There's no context here. People under the age of 18 typically have no management skills at all. Forget about dealing with other people. Most teenagers can barely organize their own underwear drawer. More importantly, server rental companies are not going to deal with minors. You have to be an adult in the eyes of the law so that you can be held accountable.

You're going to buy a brand new computer with the latest technology, and by the looks of it, it will probably cost 2000+ USD, and you're wondering if it will play an 8 year old game? This is a troll post right? I mean, you listed the case. That GPU is a thousand dollars. You didn't do any external reviews of any of these components and instead went to the DayZ forums? c'mon. 🙄

I guess pretty much anything is boarding after 50 thousand hours. >.>

I would disagree. We should get rid of it. The in-game version is NOTHING like actual kuru. It doesn’t incubate like real kuru. It has no relation to a fake mil sim (dayz). Dayz kuru doesn’t relate to survival in any way and doesn’t interact with any of the other gameplay loops/mechanics. It’s just another half-assed pile of code added to the heap. Another fine example that the game has no vision or direction. We need to have whoever is left in development fix problems, not add random garbage. IMO.

Not a bad suggestion. ARK uses the F key to access specific storage and it works great. It makes sense, too. You can’t see inside 5 barrels simultaneously in real life anyway. Personally, I’d rather open/close individual storage boxes instead of having to mouse wheel scroll and search multiple containers.

Even if a person is 100% guilty and is rightfully banned, why is it from the developer and not Battleye?!? Why put the accountability on the developer when the automatic response is always 'Go talk to Battleye'?? All reports of this 'developer ban' result in customers coming to these forums because Battleye is passing the accountability. I thought Battleye was in charge of security. 🙄 It seemed to me that the developers are busy enough making new guns, explosives and other non-survival related things to deal with security issues. Also, this puts BI in a position where it can arbitrarily ban any number of people for any/no reason and not have to answer why. Which adds no value to the customer. After some consideration, we could blame the mess on unoptimized code, but heck, how is that even possible, we're like, 18 updates since the game came out of beta. 😏

And here is the essence of The Blame Circle. BI is responsible for choosing Battleye as well as writing the code. When people get banned they are told to deal with Battleye. Yet, Battleye replies with "this is a developer ordered ban". In the end, the responsibility is on BI for finding a service that doesn't suck large donkey balls. The number of false positives has to be higher than zero. There are numerous examples where Battleye doesn't respond to inquiries. Customer Service is shit, there are plenty of voices repeating this and it's never refuted by BI. Just look at recent posts! They don't respond to emails. On top of all this, cheating is everywhere. There has been, and continues to be, alternatives to the present, but they're not explored. Battleye and Bohemia Interactive both deserve bankruptcy; their product sucks and they don't communicate with their customers. There's a mountain of problems with security and none of them are the fault of the consumer.

Unless you know what you're doing with mushrooms, it's really a gamble. Your chances of not getting ill increase when you cook mushrooms. This doesn't guarantee safety, but it doesn't hurt. Taste is often better, too. Making you vomit from a stomach ache is authentic, not eye-rolling hallucination suggestions. imo.

Please no. Not related to any existing mechanics or gameplay loops. Doesn’t sound like an authentic experience from taking psychoactive fungus, anyway.

This is a good suggestion. Great for pure pvp deathmatch games like dayz where killing other people is the main focus. It’s not really needed for a true survival game, but then again, what survival game has things like IEDs and explosives over fixing the survival mechanics? reasonable suggestion, for sure.

Your last thread, which didn’t get any replies, is just as terrible. Nobody is going to work for you. Why would anyone help you build a server but have no authority over it. You don’t even know if you posted in the right place. Lolwtf

I disagree. BattlEye sucks, no doubt, but the game sucks just as hard on security issues. Cyber criminal behavior is also not limited to gaming. It's widespread and government sponsored. The bad guys are always 2 steps (or more) ahead of the police. It's a constant catch-up.

Ladies and gentlemen, I’d like to introduce the comedic stylings of the hugely successful Bohemia Interactive company….

Spam bot necro. Ocean breeze is a brand name for hair products. Sneaky cuz there’s no link, but still a poster with zero interest in the game.

Where’s the suggestion? who said anything about realism? We can’t smell or poop. Plus there’s infected in it. Realism was never the goal. Lol.

We can't board up pre-existing structures (the logical thing to do in an apocalypse). Also, and most importantly, a player will never build a base without checking an online map to see where the gas bombs land. Right? Authentic? NO. So even if it is balanced, it's still really gamey. Let's say you're playing on a high pop server that has heavily vetted its player base. Maybe you play on a LAN with many people who you trust not to cheat since it's whitelisted. Is base-building and breaching balanced then?

Perhaps you’re looking in the wrong places for NVGs. You might have better luck finding them on the corpses of dead players. I would recommend killing people on sight on higher pop servers.

So, you agree with me then. Great. Except for this proud and arrogant assumption. That's not really how it works. Production is based off of money, not feelings. Developers write code based off of instructions given by the people who pay them, even if they think it's bad. So we can't really point the fingers at the developers. Hell, almost all of the people who were familiar with the technology left the company. This is not an efficient way to develop anything. We have no real communication from the company, despite years of people giving feedback on a tracker that is overly convoluted. So, we can only see what they've done in the latest update. What we have is a bunch of new base-orientated objects (IEDs and bomb related stuff) but no improvements to base-building itself. We can't even board up pre-existing structures in vanilla, but for some reason it's important to have many different ways of breaching a base. It's really just throwing things into the game at this point with no real high-concept gameplay loops being completed and polished. It's just adding more shit on top of a pile of other things that don't work. So disheartening. Ideally, the game would benefit from innovation and creative ideas, but it's like trying to make your car better by somehow adding more doors and wheels. That's what offline base-phasing is, adding more doors to an already existing car.

See, these are actual "Quality of Life" improvements. These are not brand new ideas that would require development from the start. Asmondian has obviously carefully considered elements of the game and made suggestions to improve something, with the idea in mind that it wouldn't take a ton of development and/or resources. And he gives reasoning behind his suggestions. He isn't suggesting stuff because it's cool. He's not making broad suggestions. It's in detail. He's also reviewed the history of the game and knows why some things may not be possible. He's making reasonable suggestions, not asking for an in game tutorial, bicycles, dynamic loot per server pop, and trains that travel around the map. It's clear that he's not suggesting impossible things that have already been discussed numerous times.

I don’t think the OP knows what ‘QoL” means. Seriously, stop making suggestions if you think cars measure the volume of water in their cooling systems.

No. This suggestion is for the vanilla experience. The OP's suggestion might be okay for a mod, but if you're making suggestions for vanilla, then everyone can react to it. We don't need to fix basebuilding. We need to get rid of it. I deny that. Base-building doesn't need innovation and creative ideas. It's a mechanic that has never fit. It should be removed as it's not necessary for survival. Maybe the servers would run better if they did.

"oh look, I can't build here because someone has a base here but it's not rendering because they're offline. Looks like it's time to set up a bunch of tripwires. I think we'll camp across the street and wait for this guy to log in!" or. "I waited all this time because I knew there was an offline base here. The guy logged in, I shot him right away, but he logged off right away so all of his base loot 'unloaded' and now I can't loot it. Not fair!" No, your ownership idea isn't gamey at all. Totally authentic. 'easy to solve'

The concept of ownership in a collapsed society is not authentic. The concept of ownership isn’t possible with this game engine. As you said, it’s not possible with this engine. Why suggest something that would knowingly require a total rework of the engine?

This is probably the best suggestion in your list. With the additions coming in 1.18, we need more options for base building. This is probably one of the easiest ones to implement. It already exists in several different mods. Snapping together base structures is also good. The vehicle related suggestions were fun to read.
