The developers post status reports and they can be found on these forums. The best answer you can get is to read it for yourself or (gasp) load the game and play it. It's a pretty broad question you ask. Are you looking for a completely comprehensive opinion? Seems like way more work for someone else to do when you could just read for five minutes and come up with your own opinion. Opinions of others will vary greatly anyway. How would you know which opinion is the most accurate representation?

I watched your video earlier. I don't think you understand what I'm talking about. The thing is, it's not actually doing what you think it is doing. I'm not entirely sure what you mean by "server or client issue go to the same", but what you're seeing isn't what is actually happening on the server. I noticed in your video that while your car was bouncing around, that the RPMs were red-lining. This indicates that you were not braking. Instead, you were leaning on the accelerator, which correlates to what I was talking about. "Infecting" the car? Just, no. Jumping out of the car while this is all happening is the worst possible decision you can make and is probably why you're dying. I've probably driven every single road in this game, multiple times. It was a lot better and it's been a lot worse. Press on the brake. The command is sent to the server. Your car stops. Get a little more experience with the hive architecture, please.

This part is funny. But not "haha" funny. This issue is not exclusive to any one platform, game, genre, or even video games, really. See, it's a sandbox designed to be a social experiment. The problem is that the experiment is bad because there's no real repercussions for morally questionable behavior. Permadeath is a thing of the past. Options to circumvent total loss are so plentiful. Best of all, now we have scoreboard statistics that show us how many people we have killed. What did you expect in a world with a big sandbox, other players, and ways to kill other players?

Bikes are far more difficult to implement. Aside from the physics associated with it, you're also syncing a bunch more player animations. Devs have talked about this at length. They acknowledge that bicycles would be totally sweet but understand that it's not a huge priority compared to the many other things on the table.

Honestly, it's not hard to figure out that the problems are all happening on the client side. The problem is that you're trying to react to what you're seeing and the result is catastrophic server-side. Instead of trying to go full speed, You just stop. Hold down the break and wait for the desync to pass. I've encountered this problem numerous times and have never died because I stay updated and informed when it comes to understanding the problem. Maybe you should ask questions instead of using your single post to whine about stuff.

I can't even begin to remember how many times I've suggested belt additions. Like, we need massive belt buckles. I want to be able to wear a belt buckle the size of Texas. Or even, a big round belt buckle the size of Captain America's shield. That way, I could take it off and deflect bullets, Wonder Woman style. Speaking of that, also add a golden lasso and magical bracelets. Very easy to do.

Wait, I can't blow up tents and base walls now with grenades? What sort of witch-craftery is this?

We all feel for you. Maybe you should have quit in 2015. At least the forums. Do yourself and mostly everyone else the favor, please. "Literally"

Anything greater than zero gulps of water from a well has a chance to give you a disease. You can eat an infinite amount of food. You will end up barfing it up along the way, however. But fear not. After you blow chunks, your stomach now has room to put more into it. Oven rotisserie. No. What Weyland said.

Not going to happen.

Good posts. Perhaps Bandages should have an increased chance to heal multiple wounds and take half of the time?

Remember the Alpha warning. It stated that DayZ may encounter bad design decisions. Count this as one, I guess. Somehow, they thought Twitter would be the best way to deliver information. Because it was easier, perhaps? Doesn't explain the reasoning behind the most convoluted Feedback Tracker ever created in the entire history of history. Besides being extraordinarily difficult to use throughout all of Alpha, it's not even linked on the very dayz.com front page. I'm guessing that anyone who knows how to use twitter also knows how to navigate to dayz.com. Forcing game testers to their website doesn't make sense? Maybe they don't have enough workforce to be bothered with posting info straight to the website? It's a mad, mad, mad, mad world.

Okay, so the OP started talking about server hopping issues and somehow this relates to your issue of driving a car, then re-joining the same server? How is that 'relative to the conversation' eh?

I'm pretty sure I did read the posts. This is what I responded to. It clearly says that you were driving when the server reset. You gotta read the post first or you won't know what you're talking about. Your condescending attitude is really a breath of fresh air, guy with 24 posts whos been playing since 2014.

Excellent. Always pleasant to see players enjoying themselves. Be patient and careful. You'll find the things you need. Find like minded people in this MMO. Be social. And yes, start putting tablets in your pump water. It will matter next patch.

sniper hammer, obv.

You don't need to go into your inventory. Has survival ever really been difficult, aside from combat with other players? Could it ever be truly difficult? No. The only thing you've ever had to fear, or will ever have to fear, is other players. It's interesting that you ask about eating as that is absolutely trivial. As it should be.

This is a great way to go about getting a refund. Also, totally reasonable. If you don't get it right away, I suggest you contact your local congressperson.

I like it. Maybe even make it a craftable item. 2 camos, or a camo + rope, or something to make a car cover.

To clarify, it's typical that you wont log back on to the server right where the car is if you were driving it when the server reset. That's the typical part. I'm pretty sure you weren't driving cars back in 2014. God may not know how long you've been playing, but you can check in the steam interface to see how many hours you've got. 😝

This is typical. When a server restarts, this always happens. Players will leave a server first, then vehicles, or something. I've had cases where you log out and log back in .... on top of a different car even. #bizarroworldchernarus

Will never happen because Australia wont allow it. Torture in video games is dumb. Will never be authentic. Taking drugs in video games is dumb, for the same reasons. Pretending to be under the influence of psychoactive substances is nonsensical because you can't actually alter the thought process of the gamer behind the screen in this manner. Just do what other people do. Shoot them.

The best loot walks on two legs. It's there, on the coast, connected to some guy who shoots at bambis. You have nothing to lose as a new spawn. Be creative. Camp and stalk. Kill the griefer, get the guns.

Logged into the public server I always play on. I was at my base, so I jumped into one of the Olgas. Drove around for a while, up and down Helicopter Alley (a tour around zelenogorsk and up towards Lopatino) Drove back down. Looted Veresnik. Looted tents along the way. Drove to the damn after my sub machine gun got all kitted out. Found a couple new 8x scopes. That's cool. Drove back to the base, parked the car, ate some food. It was getting dark out and the server was dwindling, population-wise. Logged out for a bit and played some other games. Checked work emails. Did some dishes and walked the dog. Logged back on. Still waiting for daylight. Didn't know what to do, so I decided to server hop a few times with my load out set. Game sent me to Svetlo. This is perfect. Lots of fresh spawns with no gear to shoot at. Lots of griefing to be had. Hid out on the north west side of town, kinda near the gas station up there. Perfect vantage point in sight of the new police station and more importantly, a police car spawn. Camped that out for a while. Shot at a few people. Killed one, I think. A bit later my bro logged on. I switched back to the official public 'home' server. Had Broseph pick me up and drive me back west. Not all that fruitful, not necessarily boring. Not like loot is hard to come by, I guess. I dunno maybe I'll use a series of campfires to scale some buildings in Zelenogorsk and snipe plebs there.

So, low pop servers are the way to go? Why? This is a PVP MMO. What good is balance if no one plays on it?
