I would love a detailed/advanced melee combat system. At least, something that's not gimmicky. I wonder how balanced an advanced melee system would be though. If getting struck by a weapon is to be authentic, as with firearms, it would probably one or two shot you. How much focus will the team put on complex combat for interactions that realistically, only last a few swings? This is a mmo, but hardly wow arenas.

We also need whoopee cushions, electric nose pickers, and enormous zippo lighters.

Yes, when are they going to add microwave ovens, and more importantly, how will we be able to use them to KOS our friendly gamer peers? Related, what is the molecular structure of the disease that has claimed the current infected?

Yes. we need to graffiti chernarus. I need to roleplay Jonah Hill a la Superbad movie. I need to see dick drawings everywhere I go!! I can already see base raiding happening, just to draw a big penis on your clan flag.

Huh? Re-gearing is the funnest part of this game! Some people have different goals, motives, and viewpoints. I've died a large number of times in DayZ now, it really doesn't bother me. I value my life very little. I value your life even less. This is DayZ. This is my story. In my story, you die.

The .56 experimental servers are in-house testing servers, I'm sure. Check the dev tracker sub forum. Eugen Harton generally does a great job letting the community know when the latest experimental servers go up or down.

Roadmap. Worst possible term to use in order to describe non-linear progression. Like, when you look at a map and you follow where you are now to where your destination is at. It's a clear line that needs to be followed in a specific order. Traveling a road is linear progression that is easy to comprehend, easy to calculate how long it will take to complete. You can't complete kilometer #10 (or even start working on it!) before kilometer #9. I imagine developing a game is more like creating a painting, and less like following a road. The squeaky wheel gamers who lament over non-obvious progress are probably the ones who see game development as linear progression. It's a unique entity, the developers are not working on an assembly line here. That said, it's fun to watch these game artists create a painting that they've already sold to 3 million people.

My bad, dood!!1! :blush: I told the devs to change up the viewpoint and stuff a while back and it looks like it's not workin' out too good, huh. I'll submit another suggestion to make it stop. peace. B)

All you need to survive in .57 is a shovel and a canteen. Hopefully I'll be hunting toadstools by then.

Windows 8.1 you say? Haven't had any trouble with 8.1 myself. Having no details, I'm going to guess that the problem is probably not solely Windows 8.1. I know that this probably doesn't help much. Soz. Good luck!

Correct me if I'm wrong, but won't you have the option, at release, to have your own private server and securely make a camp anywhere? Is the push for more forests just a result of alpha development?

Using air activated heater packs while swimming is brilliant. I wonder what the range of effectiveness will be with various stored, heated items. Like, if you carve up some steamy guts from a fresh corpse and stuff it into your trousers. Campfire heated can of beans maybe? No idea if the island is still there.

I'm not entirely convinced that you know what a conspiracy theory is. This idea seems like a great candidate for a mod! Not sure I'd want this event cycle in the core game/BI servers/whathaveyou.

Must add spooning/cuddling plz Pinning only leads to knifing. That can't be good. Spooning is a slippery slope to Forking. :thumbsup: :thumbsup: :thumbsup:

I just finished reading this thread. Apparently, there are a number of people who think contracting radiation poisoning is similar to how cooties work.

This is a video game, you can't realistically make that comparison with the bank robbers. So, you plan on stalking bandits until they kill someone and then killing that bandit. Good luck with that, buddy.

"Bandit Hunting" has to be the most frequent excuse ever to actually play as a bandit. If your goal is to go out and murder people then you're a bandit. This means you. If you would've said "I still have all this ammo, I need to find bodies to put them in." then your intentions would be much clearer, without the fluff. Personally, I find this statement to be adorable. :)

Try setting goals of some sort. Even if they're absurd. Without a clear goal, you wander aimlessly. I have a goal for you. See how many game bugs you can report in a week and then try to break that record! You could jump on a high pop server and go to Elektro. Lots of interaction with other players there. Bring bandages. Sight-see recently added towns. Get to know the map better. Join experimental servers. Give disinfectant to new spawns and then eat them to survive. Craft with guts. Lots of things to do if you make goals. If you're going to play the alpha, then get the most out of it by learning the game inside and out before the final release. amirite?

What Grimey said, You don't need to explain your douche-baggery here. We will still welcome you with open arms. :)

Like.. totally legitimate. The money we gave them was not 'alpha'. It doesn't matter how many times BI says "but it's alpha" or "it's just a dev build" or any other string of words. When you take people's money, you assume the responsibility of putting out a usable product. Seems like server status is something that could be conveyed to the public fairly easily.

Practical is pretty subjective here. Sometimes appearance goes a long way! No useless items.

I'll paraphrase, "We tested how to starve on experimental. It works! Didn't really get to try anything else."

I totally agree 100%. This game is 'massivly' unplayable. For you. Sadly, you've been cut from team DayZ. You didn't make the grade. Other people have been able to survive and prosper but it's just too hard for you. Not everyone can make it. That's okay because it's not for everyone. We don't feel any less of you as a person. Thanks for trying! :)

try logging out and back in. sometimes it will place you in the water.

By the time I've reached the outhouses in the north I've already soiled my jeans. So, let's get some in Berezino as soon as possible. Possibly Svetlo, too. But don't drop them next to the main road, like they do in Nagornoe. That doesn't make any sense.
