I need something harder then vodka to enjoy this game again, try paint stripper.

People still stream this game, lol.

I dropped a military tent on a persistent server, came back four hours later and it was gone.

The guy was on top of the kiosk about 20 feet in front of him, you can see him in the video. He should have heard that shot.

'You only have power over people so long as you don't take everything away from them. But when you've robbed a man of everything, he's no longer in your power - he's free again.'

Hello everyone, It has been a while since i have visited these forums but i was recently alarmed by the news that Brian hall is now stepping down as project lead for a new person to take the helm. He will of course still be on the team and no doubt will be working just as hard as he always has. Three project leads in the space of a year, the first one leaving the team entirely. I am really worried that this is a big sign of bad times ahead, slow progress and missed targets is regular for this team but to be honest, i am sure most people really don't see time as an issue if the final product is worth the time it takes to make, patience is not a thing i lack. I am just worried because i always like to look at things from a business perspective and having three bosses in the space of one year would really tell me that something is not working at that business. Of course this is just speculation and i know just as much, or as little as the rest of you. What are your opinions on this, do you think that the third team leader can have a good impact on the future of dayz ?? or do you think this is just another sign that the game is slowly failing, Do you think this will effect dayz and the 'progress' it has made in any way ??

Make that blunt axes and bent arrows so you cant tell where it will hit when you reslease it, then were on the right tracks.

That is a load of rubbish, this is an issue with the game, it has nothing to do with what computer you run it on.

spot on man, i have seen it happen to a few games as well and i feel like this game is heading in the same direction, i don't even play it anymore and if they keep heading down this path of listening to the people who shout the loudest they will ruin this game, i have no doubts about that.

Ah i was genuinely curious, thought there might have been an announcement about a patch or something. I have not played the game in a while so i can't comment with certainty but i have seen the pictures and it just seems persistence is broken, loot was not spawning at all in experimental so they changed it for stable so that loot always spawns no matter what and this is why instead of no loot at all we have piles of loot. It just seems broken either way at the moment, my advise would be to find a server with persistence disabled to play on, once you have that server it will be exactly the same as 0.49 except you will have all the items from 0.50.

What Wednesday patch, have you been let on to some secret i don't know. ? Wednesday is for maintenance not for patches.

It depends what you mean by working, its a work in progress so it is wrking but it does not wrk if that makes sense. IMHO no it is not.

Good for you man, just to let you know they probably could not hear any of your shots hence why they had no clue where you were. Got to love that crucial bug that really needs addressing. Nice shooting.

Replace the person with a developer, replace the water with cash and you have hit the nail on the head. :D

It never was super easy, stop telling lies.

Aah how cute.

I thought sniping was ruined a few updates ago unless you are so close to your target it can't really be called sniping. Did they fix it??

The loot spawn system is currently broken, how have people not noticed this. You will be lucky to find a good gun but have fun spending days and days just to find a mag if your lucky, you have to ask is this one gun and magazine worth x amount of time and then you realize that the loot spawn is broken. This poll is pointless because some magazines are just not spawning at all. Do this poll again once the loot is fixed.

Have fun getting more then you and your friends on that server. I can not think of anyone in my friends list who would want to play on that server, sure you would have a niche so you may have a small playerbase but what happens when half of them die to hacker, you just cut your server pop in half, not a good idea imho.

Karma's a bitch

There are no rules about radio use, wiki is lying to you.

I have always assumed that if they do go with the whole radio idea then they will have a frequency system to go with it so what this means is that you would not have to listen to anyone you did not want to since it would be you who chooses the frequency, say frequency 107.04 was playing rick rolled then you just skip past that frequency, in no way are you forced to deal with anything you do not want to, also i think muting players is already in the game, you open up the player list and you can mute people. Also that's the reason i am keen on static radios in certain houses and places, that way there would be no need to lower the inventory slots since people who do not have a radio can always find a static one, also imagine you have a base in a house with a static radio and then you can give your friends the handheld radios so you can stay in touch with each other, would be pretty awesome if someone kills you they can take your radio and torment you with it.

No. Side chat is not immersive for me, i don't mean to be rude or offend anyone but it seemed to be only children that used it anyway so you would see some stupid stuff popping up on there like 'yolo swag no scoped you jhonny212' and that i could not deal with when i am trying to simulate an apocalypse. It just does not fit in with what i think dayz is going for, now static radio's in building and walkie talkies for a kind of real life side chat where different groups could communicate via radio, that would be the kind of immersion i would go for.

This happened to my friend who had a really bad computer, he could not even run as fast as we walked, it was funny watching him try to run away from a zombie at full sprint but on our screen he was going at a turtles pace and the zombie would always catch and kill him, he never played again.

I'm sure getting shot at feels like a great achievement for you but that's not why i started playing dayz, i can do that in any fps game. Do you know what a statement is?, i did not write a statement and neither did i 'state' the reason i left was because i could not find a better weapon, i was agreeing with the op's findings and also explaining to him that the lack of high value loot has turned me off the game. You really need to raise your understanding of the english language because you don't seem to be getting it. Growing vegetables lol, that is exactly what this game needs, how could i be so naive. Also i do not ignore the luck factor, in fact that is the worse thing about it, me and all my friends having no luck is not the same as some of us having luck and other people not having luck, the luck just is not there to begin with so what are you trying to get at. You can argue all day about how great your tomatoes are but if this guy takes a look at the steam charts he can see for himself what is happening to the player base month after month and that's just something you can't argue with.
