Again? Why so many name changes?

If you’re going to go out and shoot at survivors then you better be prepared. You died because you made bad decisions. Maybe you shouldn’t have started attacking people if you were out just to collect building supplies. Maybe you should have farmed antidotes if you knew you were going into a toxic zone area. You knew where toxic zones could potentially hit but you went there unprepared anyway.

Crossbow is good. Building fortifications mod is the best. Fortifying an existing structure is logical and authentic. Building a base in the forest is not logical, practical, or authentic, given the logistics and effort involved in doing so. Being able to break into any base no longer seems like a necessary part of the game. Mostly because of the reality that server wipes happen often enough. This is a great thread to post and should continue with each update!

These detailed questions regarding animal AI do not seem to be in line with the purpose of this thread. It would be unauthentic if all wolves/bears acted the same. kyiara’s post looks to address holistic questions aimed at general knowledge and not detailed scripting information. And this makes sense. I would encourage the team to NOT post this info. We don’t need to know exactly how NPCs behave. If you really want to further understand how animals work, that’s fine. But don’t ruin the mystery for the rest of us. Why not make your own server and figure it out yourself?

Oh. I see. There was translations. In English, adjectives often proceed the noun. Which makes it take on a different meaning when translated from someone who doesn’t speak English. That said, anti venom is notoriously expensive because of its short shelf life. Which you would never find in an apocalypse.

Poisonous vaccine? Really? Deadly frogs? Please, no. Let’s at least stay in the realm of the believable.

There is a disclaimer on the Steam store before a customer is allowed to purchase it. Nothing more is needed. If you insist on micromanaging your child then that is where you make your decision. Do you two really think young people will attempt suicide because they saw it in a video game? Laughable.

Maybe they should make it so that a player has to buy another copy of the game. Like you have to do on PC. Dying in-game used to mean something.

This looks like a fantastic update. The list is huge, a lot of work was put into this! Thanks! I can't wait to try it out on stable.

Thank you for posting the wipe announcement. Wipe or not, it is definitely better for the community to know as soon as possible.

You don’t need a hard to raid base. Make them hard or easy, it doesn’t matter. My point was that making a base out of already existing structures is the logical thing to do. Personally, I’d rather see no base building instead of nonsensical base building.

Seems inaccurate. A majority of the people I play with have legit alt PC accounts. Rest also seems like conjecture. Lots of assuming that ‘everyone’ will do what your only guessing about.

What are the chances that he will see your response, seeing that its been nine years since the original post?

Right. Like 50% of the buildings on a server are going to be boarded up. There will never be so many houses boarded up so as that you cannot find loot. No Way. You store your valuable stuff in your base? On purpose? You don't hide your valuable loot on a second account or off in a hidden area? Actually leave it in the base, huh.

Do you think it would be unauthentic for a survivor to not secure an abandoned building? If suddenly, all the buildings in society became empty, you would choose to build something brand new. This makes sense to you? Houses are for looting? Are there not enough spawn point nodes on the map? Are you having a lot of trouble finding items on official? Creating bases out of existing structures should be a priority.

I would be fine either way. I’m not seeing fine tuning and balancing. We’re seeing huge changes to the game years after official release. Then some fine tuning, then more catastrophic changes. Look at the vehicle simulation/net code setup. Never worked great. They made adjustments for like, two years, then imported a brand new simulator years after release. What waste.

This part is true. It doesn’t really appear as if balancing will ever happen. Core systems and mechanics are upended over and over. Inertia is a great thing for Dayz. But this is a huge fundamental change. Go with what you have at official launch and then just fine tune the game until it works well. That’s the logical process, you’d think.

But..... Why? This already exists on PC as a mod. Turning a barrel into a flat piece of metal is ridiculously difficult and not in any way plausible, honestly. Especially with a wrench. There aren't even nuts to wrench on. Scavenging for already flat pieces of metal is authentic.

Society has collapsed. Thousands of vacant structures now exist. Why would anyone build a base in the middle of nowhere? Completely unauthentic. The only reason not to build upon an existing structure is because of development/programming excuses.

I was hoping that this wasn’t going to be just another list of additions. What we really need is an overhaul of systems. We need updates that move to the stable branch server to actually be stable. An improvement on the anti cheat software is more important than these in-game QoL improvements. We need improvements to performance, security, and stability. We need prominent figures to demand these improvements. Having spotlights on the map at nighttime is pretty eye-roll.

What’s the suggestion here? Location displacement occurs as a deterrent to ghosting and a fix to logging into a gas bomb. Switching between hived servers is unnecessary in pretty much all cases.

There's no enforced age clause. If it is a private server then the server owner can ban whoever they want for any reason or no reason. If they tell you otherwise, they are lying or clueless.

This is a great idea for a PC mod. Which already exists. sorry console users, you gotta level up if you want real gaming.

You refer to it as crazy because you’re aware that this would take an incredible amount of time and resources to implement while not really adding all that much to the gameplay loop?

Looks like a great update. Please do not push an unstable update to stable servers. Pushing updates that aren’t ready is extremely frustrating and destructive to consumers who have invested time and money into community building. Thanks for your efforts.
