These invisible zombies must be embarrassing to whoever said: " yeah, this desync causing no problems.. let's update"

Dude, are you not reading what we are saying? The desync from this patch is making zeds invisible, so you cant help but get ruined gear or broken legs. Stop ignoring-how shitty the patch is.

Agree but its very common for zeds to be invisible since new patch. I know its just alpha so it will get better but they should weaken zeds until the desync is not so awful.

The day zeds are as well programmed as dead island zeds I wont need any viagra or cialis. I will be excited.

What the hell is weak about being invisible and one hit ruins gear and breaks legs? Another gift from this crappy patch is zeds that are outside of a house can hit you while you are inside from 10 feet.

Yeah the zeds are stupidly dangerous now. Freaking first zed on patch went invisible on me and one hit ruined my gear and hurt my leg. To hell with these patches. The game gets worse everytime.

Correct me if wrong, but I guess that since less people swarm the experimental, they dont see any terrible desync that happens when they push the updates to stable.

You dont just go prone. I think you fly forward a little like it has to do with the rag doll physics. So if you are standing in front of ledge you will jump off and die. That would be the best alpha death.

Yeah this stable is freaking terrible. My first zombie went invisible on me. I guess the game cant handle the loot respawn and persistance. Its unplayable. How the hell did experimental play so better?

Go prone. Then try rolling through all of the walls. Works for me.

Lol. Cockblocking may be a good service on Dayz. You need to see a full body shot to know what you are working with.

Surviving what? Unresponsive keys? Again, I think we are misunderstanding. I think the OP meant quickly responsive controls, not super human abilities of shooting a bullet laser straight. Or maybe I misunderstood so I'm sorry if I did. But I think the surviving aspect of the game is if it's hard to find food, ammo etc........ It's ridiculous if the way to make it hard to survive is to make controls that don't work right. That's crazy.

So when do controls get fixed? Beta or after? Be sure to show us how righteuous and firm your beliefs are in exactly how normal the pogress of this game is. I'll be the first guy to say I was dead wrong to question anything. How are so many things only going to be fixed much later if we can't test hardly any improvements after 8 months? Yes we are testing navmesh now, so that is a great start. I'm still positive that everything will be fixed but how are we supposed to know this is on par progress?

Ah shit, then you are right. Sounds like the servers are fucked then. I'm thinking the new stable is not very stable. Try another server and see if you see loot in the same towns. I think you are right that something is not working correct.

But why are the bags arleady being found at Balota? That makes no sense that the vest is only helicopters but the bag that goes with it is at bases.

That's a great way to test persistance, not even give any loot to test it with... LOL but back to your question, they said that the new loot was going to be much more scarce I believe, at least food and I think weapons? If stable now reflects the most recent experimental.

The only for sure way that you know your character is about to be screwed (wiped) is when you see the warning in red saying they can't find your character, so always hit escape as fast as possible if you see that warning. But, there are other times that we get character wipes without that warning. But that's freaking ironic that the first time you test loot persistance by leaving beers on the ground, they wipe your character. God damn that is freaking ironic, the damn beers are still there but our characters are completely wiped? Go to love Dayz man. Jesus Christ.

OH cool. So we can have two backbacks this way? Awesome. Does this mean they will allow us to break down a second primary rifle and store in in a backpack? They should implement that along with this smersh bag. For example, one could carry a mosin, and have a complete but broken down AKM in their bag. If the player wants to use it they have to put it together before they can fire it. That way, we can have two primaries but still be able to run at the cost of having to put the second primary together to use it.

I'm so confused. Are you guys saying that if Dayz had tight, properly implemented controls... then it would be too easy for players to kill each other and ruin Dayz? That' makes no sense. 95% of everyone here likes PVP. So why would having decent controls that actually work necessarily mean there would be too much PVP? No one said we need to do a 360 in the air and shoot a round before feet hitting the ground. I think what the OP meant is that the controls in Dayz are so shitty and unresponive. He probably just wants to be able to hit the weapon hot key one time and at some point, see his damn character actually pull out the weapon. The controls are super clunky and horrible. We can have tight and responsive controls, but not have pin point laser guided bullets.So everyone here is confusing having laser pin point bullets the same thing as having tight responsive controls. CS has both of them and I think he just meant the responsive moment of the characters to be honest with you.

That sucks if zeds are still insta-spawning. I know it's alpha but I really, really want to see zeds better implemented. I can't wait until zeds are actually part of the immersion factor of the game, and not a fake, arcade like game. That's why I hate Dead Rising, the zeds disappear so fast after you kill them that it feels like a cheap arcade game.

So if someone tries to connect, does it wipe character? Or it never loads a game if servers are completely down? Sorry if dumb question but just curious.

What? So because Arma's controls are tight and correct, we should just avoid wanting DayZ, which is an awesome concept, and just play Arma? So we just need to shut up and not be Dayz fans if we don't like crappy controls?

Because making good controls in a game requires teams larger than 35 people who go to every game expo on the planet and who rather climb mountains at the end of the earth while their product hangs in the balance. For example, when Benvenuto Cellini decided to create his crowning achievement "Perseus with head of Medusa".... he didn't stop in the middle of making the wax model and decide to climb the alps for 2 months. No, he worked on the models for months straight until it was perfected. Read Cellini's autobiography and you will see how creations are perfected.Controls in CS are the results of very serious work.

Dude, its very simple. You play legit and try to get gear on full servers, but many people get gear on empty servers and also exploit a way to duplicate their gear.

I doubt he is a troll, because if he is trying to find a very passive agressive way to say too many fucking people hack DayZ, then he is the most pass aggressive person I've ever seen.....
