    Basebuilding still a cruel joke

    Back on the old UN Clan servers around .55 or so, I had 18 barrels hidden in the woods near Tulga. No one ever found them. Hiding barrels used to be great when you could put them in trees. Everyone is gambling: some that people won't take the time to break in, some that people won't stand in just the right spot. I like your odds better.

    Stable Update 1.05

    Ah, still releasing game breaking updates into stable. Crack work, knuckleheads.

    How is DayZ doing?

    I hadn't played much since the "1.0" bs left a real bad tatse in my mouth. But, I recently jumped back in and am certainly having fun. As other have mentioned, many good mods out there - but I'm a vanilla guy at heart. The biggest problems on vanilla for me are related to base building and the inability to fortify a base in any meaningful way (so if you just want to hide a camo'd tent and barrel in the woods, that shouldn't be an issue). Cars are still junk in many ways. Stamina and weight are still a bit too punitive. The survival aspects need to be dialed up a notch, but over all, it is showing me promise for the first time in a long time.

    Wosrst server hopping solution ever

    Every time I think about reinstalling this game, that I once loved, I check here and see it is a total cluster.

    Stable Update 1.03.151658

    Does any of the old group still play, other than you and Art? I uninstalled it, again. Makes me sad.

    Apparently adding stuff that doesn't work is easier than fixing things that are already broken.

    DayZ ballistics have been ruined!

    I was being pissy and sarcastic. Ballistics, like much of current DayZ, has been ruined.

    DayZ ballistics have been ruined!

    Why should ballistics be any different than the rest of the game features?

    Content is #1 Priority, Not Persistence.

    I have thousands of hours in DayZ. That browser is easily the most infuriating thing I've encountered in DayZ. It's the first thing a player sees and it barely works. It takes 3-5 minutes to populate; and trying to click any button while it's populating is nearly impossible - thus my need to CTRL-ALT-DEL. It's garbage; and Bohemia should know better than to have a barely functioning feature as the fist thing one sees on 1.0. I've been an evangelist for DayZ for a long time, but this 1.0 nonsense, and especially this garbage browser, have eliminated any remaining faith I had in BI.

    Content is #1 Priority, Not Persistence.

    I guess I'm the only one who thinks fixing the sever browser is priority #1. Every time I fire the game up to give it a look, I do a hard shut down at the browser because I'm so disappointed.

    Wow.

    Started up DayZ. New Server Browser - great, maybe they've fixed the garbage old one. Nope. After ten minutes of spam clicking buttons, I still can't actually join a server - hell, I can barely manipulate filters. Do you guys think, maybe, that the first thing with which players have to interact in your game should work? I cannot imagine why a brand new player would spend the time necessary to actually get on a server. This should be completely unacceptable to anyone with a bit of pride in their work.

    Fighting infected in Stress Test #6 confirmed my feelings on the above.

    I believe door smashing is still in the works. Right now, they continue to mill around outside the window allowing you to pick them off one by one.

    Maybe I misunderstand you, but Zeds are in the Standalone. I had 17 near where I spawned a few days ago. After I killed those, though, I didn't see more except at military spots.
