I kind of want to test my lawn mower against the sarka, in the quarter mile. Might be close. Wtf@23 seconds lol.

This is why it's confusing. It's a temperature gauge. How many cars, in real life, have you seen where the gauge is a water level gauge? None I bet. Gasoline level can be measured directly, whereas it's not really possible to measure the water/coolant level in the same way.

1. Damage over time effects. Yes, I would love to see a chance at a damage over time applied from an Infected's melee hit. 100% Agree. From mild cold to explosive diarrhea. This is what we need to make Zeds great again!! Cholera2020!!!! 4. Ragdoll. Only if they bring Spears back. I expect news about Namalsk. More optimization (and bug fixes) being the biggest focus. Central economy balancing. Terrain/Small item/structure additions and changes.

Well, first off, it doesn't seem like Dereleth is trying to mock or insult you. Second, your post seems to indicate that you're basebuilding as a solo player. This is inherently a losing strategy. As an MMO, you need to build relationships with other gamers. In a high pop server, if you want to maintain a base, you need to team up. Not only is base building tons easier, but then you have someone that can jump in the car and come pick you up when you get killed. Additionally, all bases get raided. It doesn't matter how big or how many people you have. You should expect this and plan on not keeping your very best loot there. Group up, have lots of stashes, and be prepared to lose everything, always. You're not going to gain support behind the idea of selective spawns through a craftable item. Trust me, it would probably used against you more effectively than you would be able to use it legitimately. Like, the notion of 'limited' respawns wouldn't even be expected. A group of 5 would come and lay down 3-4 of these bedrolls each, 100 meters from your base and eventually overwhelm you. Bedrolls would be the death of basebuilding, forever. The devs are not going to support this idea for vanilla servers. The community at large won't support this idea, either. It has been done in other MMOs, and it's a disaster. Look at Rust and PVP ARK servers, for example.

Wouldn't an item like this completely undo the entire survival experience? There are a ton of options like this for modded servers, but why make this sort of change for official servers? This is basically a 'save-game' option in an environment that attempts to mimic permadeath. Your suggestion of having it tied to a rare item would probably end up going totally against the grain of authenticity. So, let's say you need a (pillow) as a rare item to craft this magical sleeping bag. Does it make sense to have pillows as rare as LARs? Or VSDs? This idea has been brought up in the past and strongly rejected by the developers and the community. It's up to you to explain why DayZ should no longer be 'a real pain in the butt'.

See, when I said "Plz provide link." that was a request to provide proof of this 'ghost bullet' mechanic. Asking me if I think that they'll admit it assumes that I already believe that ghost bullets exist. Which I don't. And again, it's clear, according to your twitter video that you're using a modded server. This is a problem with reporting issues regarding the official game. You should be addressing tandwan's reply.

I've seen this before when a fresh spawn car originates partially clipped into the terrain, but it hasn't been for a number of versions. Take a screenshot of the car when it spawns there again. Also try finding a different car spawn. It's natural for others to assume that you're not filling the radiator properly as the indicator is somewhat ambiguous. Good luck.

Well, this game isn't about realism. You should know that by now. Sure, a human may be able to live a month without food, but if we were going for realism then food would take months to grow in game, there wouldn't be zombies, and we'd have to find a way to disable Discord. It's also not realistic that when I get shot in the head that I instantly respawn again. There has to be some credible gameplay balance. There can only be so much immersion. Right? IMO, that's what this thread fails to grasp. It's a game, and it cant be realistic. PVE is not hard at all for players with experience. Whenever I see arguments that there isn't enough realism, I always think that the poster isn't getting shot at nearly enough. That's the pinnacle challenge. PVE is just frosting and decoration, as intended.

Perhaps you should purchase a second copy of DayZ and store your stuff on another character. Mobile and secure storage!

OMG I love shooting farmers!!!! Full support!

Plz provide link. Also, explain why I should intentionally choose a 300ms server to suffer this.

Part of me wants to know how you fixed it but the other part of me fears that it would ruin the previous epic replies.

Loads of gunfire in the distance is not a very convincing argument for obvious duping, imo. Literally.

Well, try running programs as administrator. Try running just the client and not the launchers; right click on DayZ in the steam interface, play, run DayZ client. Check your antivirus, maybe it doesn't like DayZ, maybe create an exception. Good luck.

From you, on the first page. “There are minor, MINOR issues in the game right now that are causing small problems with gameplay.” What exactly am I salty about? I don’t get it. I think this is funny because you argue like Tucker Carlson, except that you’re not cherry picking points and using rare examples against noobs straight out of college.

lol Maybe it's time to step up their game/strategy/tactics when it comes to fighting cheaters?

You’re right. Everything is fine. Nothing can be done about the problems that don’t exist. People shouldn’t have to be responsible for their own product.

That's absurd. Everyone knows that there aren't a bunch of zombie FPS MMOs flooding the market. I'm not going to give you examples of other zombie MMOs. The question is dealing with cheaters and exploiters within MMOs, in general. Cheaters don't exclusively target zombie apocalypse MMOs. Cheaters target where they can in order to grief people, not 'lets go target zombie MMOs'. One of the issues here is stopping hackers, cheaters, exploiters. NOT whether a subscription system is the solution or not. Remember, YOU'RE the one taking blame off of Bohemia and putting it on Battle-Eye. That's what this debate is about. It's not about whether subscription systems work or not. My contention is that you're not holding Bohemia responsible, which they clearly should be. You think the money all goes to Battle-Eye when you purchase a copy of DayZ? But, since you're so interested in subscription services, lets take a look at them. These services provide funding, in order to pay staff and make profits for a game development company. What's so bad with that? We haven't even discussed the amount of the subscription fee. This is the 21st century. NOT having a subscription service is akin to arguing that you shouldn't have to get a headset+mic in order to not have a disadvantage in DayZ. And no one ever said that every server needs to be subscription based. I don't know why you would think this. Like I said before, modern WoW, Swtor, Final Fantasy, UO (until the code got old), Runescapes, Eve Online, Dragonquest, GTA Online, Everquest, and many others have profited from subscription funds and used that money to regulate their servers, which would otherwise have more cheaters/griefers. Every server doesn't have to have a subscription fee. I would pay up to X amount of dollars in order to play on official servers without having to deal with cheaters ruining my experience. Subscription based MMOs work. The model has been working for decades now.

Such is the nature of an open-world sandbox, with no controlled instances, where pve becomes trivial as soon as you group up with one other person. There is no linear progression in DayZ.

Dealing with starvation is not something you have to constantly manage continuously. There are many ways to avoid getting sick and having to deal with constant health maintenance. If this upkeep is what's keeping you from playing then you might be doing something wrong. It shouldn't be a constant challenge. It seems that you haven't mastered the current mechanics. This indicates that you had more than just a cold. You made a serious mistake, like eating with bloody hands. This is why your hydration and hunger are so difficult right now. Wash your hands as soon as possible. Don't drink out of containers that you just find lying around without dumping them out and refilling at a well. Go indoors when it's raining. Don't sprint. Seriously, I've respawned several times around Chernarus and Livonia and the pve struggle is not bad. Good luck.

This is the reason you had so many issues. Maybe you had salmonella and cholera. Once you become experienced in finding food, managing hunger/thirst, and avoid getting sick it's reasonable. THANKS!! I guarantee that you'll win the nobel prize for logic.

Okay, that video you linked is not a retail server. Did you even watch it? That's a classic server. They're standing outside of the Zul'Gurub raid instance on a classic server. Like I said before, that's the nature of classic. You have bots and griefers exploiting 15 year old code. Additionally, top tier play is absolutely not pvp outside of a raid instance. This isn't raiding, battle grounds, arenas, instanced PVE, or even anything of relevance. I'd ask you to link a video of hackers from modern WoW content but you wont find any because it's subscription based and actively policed by paid staff. Blizzard/Activision is incredibly successful and built on subscriptions. It's also entertaining that you point out that squeaky-wheel streamers are the ones complaining about DayZ, and that's why it's bad, then go on to use the same type of people to try and make a point. Orly? Care to provide any evidence? So, generating income from a subscription and using that money to fight cheaters won't do anything? I'd bet lots of players that quit because of the hacking situation would come back to play. At least as many that have vowed to quit if there is a subscription. More conjecture.

Blizzard does not have an issue with hacking and cheaters. Comparing the cheater issue with WoW is the worst possible argument a person could make. I also play WoW on several different PVE and PVP servers. Retail and a Classic server. They absolutely do not have those issues with modern wow. There are some on classic servers, but that comes with the 15 year old code. Even in your bogus, hypothetical assumption, the percentage would be incredibly small in comparison. Blizzard also has active employees monitoring their servers. This is why the biggest issue is class imbalance and obtaining top tier loot in raids versus M+. Cheater discussion isn't even on the radar. Go look for yourself on their forums and mmo-champion. A subscription system will mitigate the hacker issue without question. Or, give some high profile DayZ players some insignificant perks to help monitor their servers. Hell, implement ANY type of moderation and the cheater problem will not rise, you think? There HAS to be a solution where more people are involved with fighting cheaters without adding to the Bohemia payroll. Free client. duh. Planetside 2? WTF is that? They haven't had over 4000 people playing that game since 2015. Pointless. Hackers/Cheaters rise as popularity does. 1.09 is most certainly not "the end of DayZ" as the OP suggests. It's also not 'because streamers actively piss on it', either.

That’s garbage. Their game, their responsibility, their profits. What ever happened to mother server tech and sanity checks? This was a selling point from day zero. You can ONLY blame cheaters and Bohemia. There’s no one else to blame. Maybe they implemented the wrong system. *coughsubscriptioncough*

You have official public hive, community public hive and then you have private servers. The hives retain the same character while private community servers use a different one. You cannot move your official character to a private server, for example.
