Translated: “Go find a server where you have lag and then experience the lag.” This forum assumes official servers. If you’re above 300ms then you get kicked from official servers. The start screen also warns you that mods may affect performance. Please do not quote me, unless it’s something I actually said. Like in the stable 1.09 thread where you say the exact same thing.

Yes. I want to be able to pick up, store, throw, and choke chickens.

Ok, maybe you didn't get lucky. And it's not really meant to be realistic. Food takes A LOT longer to grow in real life. There is meant to be video game balance. Related, you can stick to one official server and begin to remember where the player made gardens are at. These gardens stick around a lot longer than they have in the past. Maybe at some point, servers will be overrun with food because survivors will plant more gardens and animals will be plentiful. This isn't even close to what happens in game. Then you must be doing it wrong. If you hang out in Solnichniy you can search for ambient spawned fruits/rocks. Fill up a bit, make your way north. Find some gardens or kill some animals. I've done this several times successfully, on multiple servers. Perhaps you haven't figured out the best way to survive yet.

No way. If you get shot, lose 3/4ths of your blood and finally stitch yourself back up (after dealing with zombies as well) it definitely takes longer than 10 minutes to get your blood back. 5-10 minutes is way, way off. This blood plague idea may have merit, but it seems like a mod idea. Not something that needs to be added to vanilla, IMO.

Yea. For a company that truly caters as a military simulator, you’d think that this would be automatic. good luck.

The SKS still kills people just fine. Surviving still isn't that hard. Your loot just isn't as shiny as it once was. Can we dial back the 'next level stupid' amount of hyperbole, please??

I’m not sure it was because of clipping but it might be neat if a motorcycle helmet could have a balaclava as an attachment.

There’s an hour queue on every community server? Knives as rare as LARs? You're speechless?

Nope. You made mistakes somewhere.

I'm not sure how this thread is a suggestion. I wouldn't hold your breath waiting for major overhauls to server architecture or complex game engine issues. They've already built the DayZ house. Expect the walls to get a different color. Expect some new furniture. Probably safe to assume they're not going to redesign the structure.

I've been using a hammer to open cans because I couldn't find any knives in elektro. So yea. Would agree with this. Perhaps infected should drop stone knives more often.

Wait. There’s a point system?!? Please tell me there are bonus levels and hidden bosses, too.

Wash hands after you butcher an animal. Personally, I’ve never seen a prompt to wash hands after killing zeds. eat vitamins/tetra

You are some sort of wily, silver-tongued negotiator.

This is a great description change. The servers aren't as misleading. Even though there's people on twitter wondering how long they have to move their belongings, it's a step in the right direction. Perhaps the term 'conditional' or 'provisional' would server better, but people would still misunderstand anyway.

How does one determine, other than the server description, if a server is persistence OFF or ON? Is there a way to tell? Also, what are the rules governing said servers? Are they wiped on restart? Weekly maintenance? Monthly? I've been server hopping around Chernarus and Livonia, looking for a persistence-OFF server and everywhere I go, I find servers that are marked as OFF, but I find bases, structures, and containers that don't seem to be affected. Even after weekly maintenance. Are the all the official servers really that poorly maintained??

Well, if you have a ping greater than 300ms then you'll get kicked. If you use a wifi connection then this might be part of it. Try some private community servers and see if you get the same results.

It's not a bad suggestion. However, even .22LR shot from the MKII, in the driving rain, attracts every zombie within 100 meters. So, there's other issues as well. AFAIK, these subsonic rounds would require additional mechanics to every weapon. The VSS is designed and fully developed to handle the released gas from ammo. At any rate, it would be neat to have these fat rounds in the game. Related to this suggestion, I would love to see a Welrod 9mm variant in the game, much like in the video below. Authentic Zombie killer!

So, you befriended a guy and hit him with a shovel and took all his good stuff while he was giving you food. This makes you the Toxic guy, right? 😉

Cheaters are a huge issue right now. Ban waves are simply a band-aid fix. The strategy for dealing with cheaters right now is terrible. Official servers need a killfeed. Bohemia needs to endorse higher profile streamers (or someone) to administrate official servers. There HAS to be a way to have official servers be policed, without adding to the payroll. Be innovative. Do something. Hacker problems directly affects the well-being of any game producer. It's mind-boggling as to why this company doesn't realize that. This sort of notoriety is extremely crucial to the bottom line. How can it not be? Sure, it's a great mil-sim in a vacuum, but more importantly, it's a MMO, where the most of the money is coming from common folk gamers. Gamers are not going to encourage their friends to purchase DayZ because friends dont fuck over their friends knowing full well how overrun official servers are with cheaters. When you log on to official servers and the first thing you do is look at the server list and check out all the profiles to see that no one is a brand new player for fear of a new account (using hacks) then that is a serious problem.

It's a dick move, for sure. It should be inherently obvious that ruining someone's hobby is mean. There's nothing that BI or the community here can do. Social media is infested with immature turds. A few children will ruin other's happiness just because they can. Hopefully some of those 14k people recognized this. Appeal to them. Move your base.

You want Bohemia Interactive to shut down Facebook? What other option is even possible?

So, If I lose a VSS, you'll spawn one in for me?

I think it would be neat if you could make an improvised backpack out of any of the pelts. Combine any rope and pelt and get an improvised backpack. Or maybe have improvised backpacks vary in size depending on the pelt used. They could all use the same model even.
