Shooting someone and then letting them revive and then run off is likely not the correct answer. I would have suggested that you chop him up and eat him because you had hungry status, but you had at least four cans of food in your backpack already, right next to the walkie-talkie and bolt quiver.

Oh, the old and tired What-dean-said versus the iPVP crowd. People who adopt a playstyle based on developers' intentions are in for a real let down. Players will either adapt to what the game is or get hung up on what it's 'suppossed' to be. I predict that, at release, PVE will be easy. Players will learn to adapt to the environment and other people will always be the random and most dangerous variable. The good news is that people of all playstyles will be able to play the game the way they want. If people want to never see another player, they can do that. Lame, in my opinion, but whatevs. I just hope that there will always be some remnant of one of the most fascinating emergent playstyles ever; sniping at static heli-crashes.

Most of us? Are you sure? I'm willing to bet that you haven't contacted even 1% of the community. I have 2-5 years to wait, personally. Not dying is the cornerstone of survival. Again, "we"? Are you sure? Again with the "we" nonsense. Those don't reflect the opinions of everybody. Dayz progress isn't measured in offspring, sorry. It'll be done when it's done. They can't just speed up production on stuff because you're impatient.

People finding tents and wondering if specific item placement has been implemented.

It's pretty unrealistic to expect a higher infected count before mid-beta. Infected are a drain on server performance, the higher the numbers are. Considering the game is in alpha, and not being actively optimized at the moment, it should be expected that the numbers will be lower in order to add game elements and mechanics successfully.

OMG. baby 'splosions > hard hat 'splosions.

So, correct me if I'm wrong. Since vehicles are persistent, they won't respawn at their normal points during a server restart if I have previously driven them into the debug zone?

The video doesn't show where to find them. And if they did, it would probably be wrong in a month. I see these videos pop up, 2 minute videos about finding an item. 90% of the video is extraneous and not helpful at all. All the information has already been presented before. Pictures, release, and every bit of information. Just read the changelogs for 2 minutes, or dayztv blurbs, instead of watching the equivalent of one hour of videos with a ton of white noise in it. That's just my opinion though. Maybe I'm a dinosaur, but I like videos to be entertaining. Maybe that's why I find these videos to be lame. Endless senseless videos, which serve no practical purpose are a thing nowadays, I guess.

I keep finding Kvass at heli crashes. What are the devs putting in these cans? Are they spiking them? Is that why helicopters are crashing all over the place?

I think it's a terrible idea. Map seems big enough. Players should have to deal with interaction, hostile or not. In the same vein, sadly, I feel single player mode will be an unavoidable necessity for mod creators. That's just me though.

I know that after using the AUG in .57, you really don't want to use anything else as the muzzle rise in all AK variants is ridiculous, by comparison. The other major problem is that the game is set up so that when you shoot a gun like the CR you can't keep your eye on your target at all. You're forced into an animation and keeping track of your target realistically, or even authentically, is so unreasonable that it makes ballistics and comparison of weapons totally meaningless. All the technical mumbo-jumbo is totally impractical 95% of the time as who sees who first is leaps and bounds more important than anything else.

But, why?

Are all of these videos really necessary?

Yep, it's you. Telling a player of Dayz, who probably hops to support their playstyle, is like telling someone who plays basketball that they're cheating if they're over 7 feet tall, because it's not fair to everybody else. There will always be a percentage of the population that do things the easiest way possible, it's the natural order of things. It is inevitable that some players will server hop if it's possible. Don't hate the player, hate the game. And that's the other thing. It's not even a game, it's a dev build! The thing that really bothers me about this game, is the maggots that complain about server hopping on the forums, yet only play on private shards. You play on private shards, you've found one of the available options to completely avoid server hopping, good for you. Perhaps you should endorse serverhopping. It has given birth to one of the most exhilarating emergent playstyles to date. Sniping server hoppers at heli crashes. Anti-server hopping is really just the result of a very vocal minority, I bet. And finally, if the devs were so against server hopping, why have they not just removed loot entirely from crashes. Why do they make the best weapons and put them at static crashes, knowing full well server hopping is the natural result? Because the server hopping playstyle is like a beloved child.

You can fit a gas canister into a fireplace? I've tried. Maybe I didn't do it right. Aren't they way too big? Edit: I think I was thinking of the big gas cans. I'm pretty sure the blue gas canisters aren't exploding in fireplaces in .57 right now.

Check to see if your 'W' key is sticky with soda pop or something, Forrest.

Oh dear lord, why did I click on this thread Probably another poster who should go to bed I sit here a moment, thinking of something to write it's like a terrible aneurysm that I cannot fight someone please, shoot me in the head

Beans to you, sir. I've never experienced such a heightened mix of despair, indigestion, and elation before this thread.

Once all the 'guns and random stuffs' is all in then they'll start to really optimize.

I'm never going to reconsider shooting a person because of temporary deafness if I want that player dead. That's just unreasonable.

So you can drive in the car pool lanes without getting a ticket.

Felucca was nothing like world pvp in wow. Also spent a good share of my 30s on wow pvp servers/arenas. In wow, you never lose your gear. Dayz and UO, the loss was real. By all means, play however you like. The only thing I don't endorse is cheating. Clan pvp, lone wolf sniping, coast-rat fire extinguisher battles, or loner hermit, I play them all. And love it. I've read many of your posts. You have a lot of great adventures. Honestly, I'm just a jealous troll, ribbing another.

I started pvping in sandboxes when UO felucca was released. Been doing the same ever since. Pretty sure I have as much experience as anyone would need, sonny. You haven't had the epiphany yet, so I assume you have a ways to go. Don't worry, you'll get there. ;) Grimey Rick, master of wit,Will rage quit over "unoptimized piles of shit"On the forums is where he trolls.Upgrading his rig (for what?) is how he rolls.Doesn't like player interaction one bit

Yea. It was hard for me to wrap my brain around the idea of not just shooting anything that moves. Maybe one day you'll experience a similar type of epiphany.
