Private servers are like having to buy a foreign car and then build your own roads. Your whole post makes a ton of really bad assumptions. No, I don't scream at Bohemia. No, I don't slam my head against the wall. Public transportation isn't that terrible. No, I don't want a perfect game RIGHT NOW. Yes, I DO want to hear it. There's nothing wrong with holding a company accountable. This is how business works. It's not the consumers' fault if a company makes bad decisions. Having to rely on an unnecessary third party in order to have a working product is gross and unprofessional. This goes beyond the well established gaming industry. And this is a billion dollar industry. Sure, we can't blame the developers for terrible management decisions. They don't control the money flow. That doesn't mean the paying public should roll over and accept that we pay for garbage. When I paid for DayZ, I was told that there'd be mother-server technology, sanity checks, and a functioning hive system. Should I just accept something lesser because some corporate moron decided to change their mind well into the project? NO. Deliver what you sold. Private servers are a real option, but public servers need to work properly.

At first I thought this was a thread necro.

The Central Economy (controls more than just loot, 'CLE' is dated terminology) isn't perfect and the devs are willing to entertain any reasonable suggestion. In fact they welcome positive feedback. But what should be changed to address the problem without ruining something else? Jumping to a non-persistent server IS an option. Your suggestion to have certain loot degrade sooner could be a possibility, but where do you draw the line. At some point, a player who plays legitimately will get screwed over no matter what the change is. Honestly, if you really want certain loot than you have a number of options. Play a modded server. Play on a private hive. Jump to a persistence-off server. How bad do you really want these things. They ARE obtainable. You just have to put in more work than you thought. Yea. Maybe try that. What do you have to lose?

Maybe. What's the problem tho? Ghosting has been resolved with the random location mechanic. You pay the price by ending up somewhere new. It doesn't seem unethical according to how it is set up. Afterall, there aren't separate characters for Chernarus and Livonia. Maybe you want to play on both. Personally, I stick to one official server because of base-building and car-building. It makes sense. The path of least resistance to getting top tier weapons is jump to a persistence-off server, build a nearby car and hunt helicopters. I would venture to say that because persistence-off servers exist, you wont find these rare guns spawning naturally on the persistent servers, ever. It wouldn't surprise me at all if you have 10+ LARs buried on each of these servers. This is the system the developers endorse because they've created it.

Nice video! When I imagine a heavily infested Cherno, I have images of server crashes and epic lag spikes.

Kuru, in this game, is on a whole other level of ridiculous, compared to cholera. Check out this recent thread perhaps. https://forums.dayz.com/topic/248438-madness-disease-change/?tab=comments#comment-2459763 As I've said before, Go ahead, do some research. You'll find the fabricated mechanic has no basis in reality. Is it bad to have it as a game mechanic? Perhaps not. Maybe the affliction could be applied because of some other reason. Maybe if you shoot too many people. I don't know, but it's definitely not authentic.

Go to persistence off official servers. Find heli crashes. Jump back to persistent servers.

I've seen this problem before. Many times it is DayZ itself, especially if it just started happening after an update. I've seen this happen on PCs that are super powerful. For some reason, the game just doesn't load. My first suggestion is to try the Experimental version, if it's currently a different version. If you've done everything from re-install windows, to re-installing DayZ, and you get the same results, it's probably not your computer. If it goes straight to black on launch, and your PC should be able to handle it without your video card going straight to shutdown, then there's a good chance that it's DayZ.

The stacking of items has been addressed. You were once able to climb on top of rooftops by stacking fireplaces in a certain manner. That exploit was dealt with. If another appears, report it! I think you will find that base-building is in a better place now. Good luck!

Steam will tally hours when you have the BI dayz launcher open. The game doesn’t, and has never, tracked time only when logged into a server.

Read what I wrote earlier. Nothing in this misplaced promo video looks illegitimate.

Wut. So, you’re crying about cheaters when in reality, - you can’t be bothered to explain what happened in the post. - you killed two people out in the woods. - you didn’t die. At worst, it looks like there might have been some desync. To me it looks like some poster posted a boring video and is trying to showcase some kills they got. Look, you even have your channel logo on it. This isn’t documenting evidence, this is a promotional video. Click bait. So basically you made a kill video and put it in the wrong sub forum. If I was a developer watching this, I would have to second guess future claims of posters whining about hacking, to be honest. Thanks for doing more harm than good. 🙄

Oh. Sometimes what you say does not translate well.

Wtf is this supposed to mean? Direct your hate elsewhere.

The word you're looking for is called Ragdoll. 봉제 인형

I don't understand how the game gets more rewarding when you cherish your loot. This is an MMO. The real reward is socializing with your friends and experiencing events that are memorable. Living and dying during gunfights. Taking road trips with your buddies. Wandering through the forest, looking for animals to hunt, or finding bases. That's rewarding. Loot is not rewarding. Material possession is not the end-game. Loot isn't even that important. Knowledge beats loot every time. Not only is it more important, but you wont lose it when you die. And you will die. A lot. Tactics > Shinies. I have died so many times over thousands and thousands of hours and I can tell you truthfully that not getting upset over it is much better than getting upset over it. There's no reason to hate yourself. The reason why new players get upset when they die is because they experience a loss. They value their material possessions way too much. You must let go. Value the journey of discovery and the lessons you learn while on your adventure. Revel in it. Stop valuing the things you lose and I will guarantee that you will be happier. Die many times. Become callous to death and you will start to remain calm in the throes of combat. Yesterday, my buddies and I lost three cars. Due to some sort of new bug. None of us got upset. We learned to change behavior, and then logged off at the end of the night, happy. Related, I will give some specific advice to the OP here. When you log in, take a moment to just look around and become aware of your surroundings. Don't ever sprint. Just jog along. While you do this, continue to look around for structures, animals and players. If it starts raining, find shelter and wait it out. Just observe. And listen. This is how you avoid getting shot at. This is how you spot wolves and escape before they pounce on you. I have hunted many bears in this game. Just by simple jogging. I always spot them first. Notice how their AI performs. Sneak around town. Plan a route that will avoid zombies. Pull them carefully. You will never die to infected if you remain calm in melee combat. Block their first attack, then cave their skulls with your axe. You will never need to shoot them unless you're also engaged in combat with another player. Slow down. Don't be in such a mad rush to make mistakes.

This doesn't seem like a problem with game mechanics. Rather, a problem with discipline. I like you. You're hilarious.

Stop putting so much value into loot and not dying. This is a serious suggestion. Slow down in every way possible. Good luck.

Statistic: shovels don’t jam up. 100%

People who buy programs to help them cheat, yes, that happens. Hackers are people with actual computer skills. I'm guessing real hackers aren't interested in killing people in DayZ. Making money by selling functions that exploit the game, sure. So let's not give these cheaters undue credit by calling them hackers. Remember when grenades could knock trees over? And we'd see waves of carpet bombing between Cherno and Electro? That was some messed up shit, back in the day. Remember when the game had sanity checks? Oh wait.

Please do not make nights darker on regular servers. This is how you chase consumers away. Removing personal lights on hardcore servers is a fine idea.

Your title description is terrible. Clearly, you've never hunted worms before. There's no amount of calculable worm density within the earth. 'Seems weird' that one would assume that a pickaxe could generate multiple worms. Stacking medication is pretty insignificant. Maybe you carry around too much stuff. The really bottleneck is weight, not space. Pills don't weigh that much. Tell your friends to stop drinking out of every pond they see. I don't ever recall seeing wristwatches in DayZ standalone. Honestly, you don't need them. Most survivors, who know what they're doing, use the sun and the position of the night sky to judge the time. Wristwatches are 100% not necessary. PLEASE, FOR THE LOVE OF GOD (kek) don't add wristwatches. (Why do you even need to know the time?)

Who is this video directed at? The huge influx of new players? lol

I'm going with the OP on this one. Besides, he's not even asking for the core game to be changed. He's asking about how it can also be in Russian. Not to change it to Russian. As a gamer, I prefer it to be in Russian. Seems authentic. As someone who lives in the United States, I can tell you that I don't have every square corner of it memorized. I enjoy being a tourist in my own country. I live in the midwest, I require a tourist map when I visit the west/east coast. Not being able to find a map in English is preposterous. So yea, tourist maps in the language of the country is a thing. Maybe it's hard to relate to, if you're not from a large country. /shrug To address the original question; did you check the steam workshop? Maybe they have a solution. I don't use maps in DayZ anymore, so I guess I wouldn't know.

Discourage the devs? That's laughable. Welcome to the 21st century and the internet. This type of thing goes on everywhere. In every business that operates in a free market society. What would I feel like?? WHO CARES!! The world isn't powered by feelings! Professionals don't go ape-shit. BI hasn't gone ape-shit, because they understand this. You deal with problems that matter the best you can and move on. Forums are a place for discussion. There's no reason to put so much stock into the value of what is said there. I've always supported the developers here, but there's no reason insult them by assuming they get upset when plebs type stuff on the interwebs. If someone is tailgating you when you're driving down the road, do you get upset? or do you ignore it like a rational person should? Honestly, the only worthwhile discussion is when a board of directors asks the right questions and holds management accountable for failing profits/expectations.
