KOS, survival, non KOS, Bambi PVE, Roll Playing. Is a decision people make, we cant blame anyone for their way of playing a game. If they KOS who cares right? its survival to steal your goods/wares. Otherwise watch the walking dead, and see how much KOS happens in that tv series. Humans will do the same thing on survival on earth, we transform into something else when it comes to property, eating etc. We will form groups and defend which belongs to us. So I just say everyone has their own opinions about how dayz should be played, however it wont matter once dayz turns to full modding. It will be a decision how that server runs. Now vanilla servers i have no idea how that will be played out in the open public. I am roll playing on open public servers right now, A Bandit, thief, and a Thug. I enjoy stealing others goods stored in the open. Its fun to kill someone from 1000m away (doubt ill see that record) but anyways i agree its none of anyone business even mine how someone plays a game. Pick a group, form up and defend against those like me. I don't kill everyone, i say hi to people too. Its fun for me to stalk a person to a shed then wave as they come out, scaring the jabeeeezious out of them. They do laugh with a confusion tone. I also like bio's videos hes playing a much different role then i do. I am trying to see how long i can survive until i am caught and killed much the same as i do to others. But who cares right? I concur with Bororm on this. Its really nobody's business how someone plays out their role. Bio you should know better, you play out roles differently. Some may say the same about those roles. However i enjoy all you do so keep it up. Your videos are great buddy.

Stop taking things to heart emo, you sound very distressed about your public freebie server. Play on it 1p who cares. Ignore me if your so upset. I am pro modding and private servers. Doesn't effect you at all. What i said was not towards the people who are playing on the public 1p servers, you sound so deeply upset over that. My mention was towards someone who thought the game was dieing and didn't respect the devs for thanking us, that do test and report things to them. Servers are rented and those people also play in large groups. Most of them also are waiting till beta, when more content comes in. Testing dayz here and there before they return. Dayz is fun, vanilla is good too, just i would like to mod it some and change some of the ways the devs are doing it. This doesn't effect you at all, so clearly i don't understand why you think i care about public free vanilla servers or not, or for that matter Roll playing servers. I do want DayZ to host some servers for the vanilla game. I also want 1p, and 1p/3p servers to survive. But my mention is towards Modded private servers. This has no bearing on your wishes and desires. But i don't think that people have rights to clearly blame devs for the changes so slowly in their minds. It will be a modded game and that takes time to finalize all the stuff to make it great like arma series is. I do defend them on the grounds that programmers and artists are working hard to bring good quality stuff. Dayz feels different and i like that. I want the best out of dayz, and i look forward to many more changes. Our full continuation of reporting problems offering suggestions is great for its progress. Yours included, i hope you too offer good quality suggestions and report problems. Then you too should understand how much it feels like to be thanked once in awhile by the company for doing these tests in alpha. We don't get paid and we clearly pay a ton to host servers to offer public or private access to more server spots. I do agree people can feel upset about its progress why i feel they should also go play other games until beta of dayz. They want to make it fit for all to host, mod, and play vanilla DayZ. It will be clearly close to what arma 3 is. Its success has been already showed by its open modding. People want this in games BI offered it to us, now 1000's are pouring into it and having fun. Arma by itself seems boring, but with some of those mods its one of the best games out there. Squad a newly released game is also a cross (in my opinion) between Arma 3 and Americans Army. Great game so far, with tactics. But it doesn't feel like DayZ. I hope you feel the same way.

You tube videos. Lots of them out there, but mostly making your own routes around maps like Izurvive.com and the one posted above. I call it running the gauntlet.

Nope, could be audio. It can do that from time to time with TS3. Takes over, joining games too soon over ts3.

@nex yes we don't have anything more to talk about. Ill let the dev's figure out their own stuff. I am not defending them, i am simpling saying your shit if full of crap. They haven't failed at all. your just angry they didn't give you all the stuff you wanted right away. Your just trolling now, looking for arguments that aren't there. Month Avg. Players Gain % Gain Peak Players Last 30 Days 5,656.1 +1,277.3 +29.17% 17,740 November 2015 4,378.8 -1,142.5 -20.69% 9,325 There is why your wrong. This does not show growth? and its dead? how many do you want to return to alpha. 55000? 60000?

Yup we took all the batteries too. Don't need to toss anything out.

HAHAH Sorry! Stole so many of them these last few days. Lots of loot. :) Edit=Persistence works fine btw.

Nice work on the dayz thread. Those items you guys are designing will most likely go a long way in development for mods. I am a scriptwriter so i am not very good with art, or modeling. Although i have never really tried to either.

Good job Funkdoc.... I knew you love to mod. Glad you found the arma 3 tools to start up a project over the weekend. Hope your correct on the PBO

Hell, if Dayz Dev's let me, ill help offer my free time to help setup the modding tools and Alpha test them. I will even run a server from the house to test it openly to them. Or rent one, i don't care. Ill even sign up on the NDA and do it for 0$ I can host arma 3 exile, and Ark server so this shouldn't matter for testing purposes. Whatever it takes to complete the game, i am all ready for that. <---- i am 1 of many that feel this way. Appreciation of what the Dev's do matters to the few that actually test and debug issues when they arise matters to us all.

I have steam games like that too, and i flip back and forth. Once Dayz is finished and announced beta it will change again and again those numbers. Here is the top steam list as of 7:44pm est. Dayz went from 5k to 9k just today with a total of 13.5k which rises and falls when people come online. Once we are given the moding tools it may rise as much as 30k like arma 3. Remember it costs a ton to rent a server for the people that are so damn cheap and wont pay for it themselves. Only so many people are going to get setup on alpha guys. I don't think you guys being so negative over the numbers are understanding that its still alpha and those servers are rented by the members. 32,539 39,457 ARK: Survival Evolved <----- free modding and hosting software. Makes a huge difference when you can mod. Expect those numbers when we have the tools. I am Pro Modding, and so are many others waiting it out. Edit = 8,713 playing 5 min ago 13,480 24-hour peak 45,398 all-time peak 8:10pm est Rises yet again !

Like the title states, i would like to start getting ideas from others on what they want in modding. Or should we use the off topic area in the boards for programming questions?

2-3 places to look Grape, go to the choppers smokers, Q huts on airfield, and 1 at tent city. You will need to hunt fast and hop fast if you want to get a chance at M4. We have so many popping into the fresh servers looking for the same. All i repeat all servers 1-3 people on refresh spawns. You may have to hop, its the only way to find one since it is rare to begin with. Even smokers are slowing down some. Trashy loot tables.

And for those saying dayz is dieing Fuck you! http://steamcharts.com/app/221100 looks good on that thread, i told you so then and ill tell you so now, its winter, and people return to games plain and simple if they like it.

Now i am going to bash apart your statements. They are completely false. Totally false, zip zill nadda correct. Here is why? http://steamcharts.com/app/221100 read it understand its almost back to peak. Its winter time, and the new games had nothing to do with it. I like dean hall a ton, but his departure was the best thing for the project and also his new company. Hes a programmer. He was also living away from home. He might have a family too? don't know, don't care but it explains why. The rest of it is fixable over time.

I should also say, that i think this coding might be used in loot in the buildings too. I walked into a big shed. 3 pieces of clothing where on the ground, and a red tracksuit pops up in my window.. I was like WTF, turned back and realized it spawned just as i went into the big drive shed. It maybe on the 30 minute timer, saying someone picked up that spot prior to me being there and it re spawned as i was looking at the loot on the ground. ( if so, the coding may need to be changed for larger areas in the map, Highlighting places such as Cherno, electro, etc.. so that they are down to a 10-20 minute spawn timer) Just FYI it maybe the new coding system in place, instead of all items just re spawning at once. All of the restarts may or may not populate the items. This way the demand on the server is fast, and the coding system works faster.

OK this is what i found out OP. Heli's are working fine. Its the way your doing it. Your not paying attention to the cheat maps given to you, or your just too late to find them on foot. Get a car, (for reasons ill explain), hide it for future runs. Open up dayz sites that show where they spawn on the map. Drive over the chopper spawn. Taking routes in the woods. Run the Maze, south to north, back to south. Complete circle. (u tube videos explained it prior) Look for crashes around the map, and once you loot look back at the spawn for up to 5minutes. It disappears and moves elsewhere or completely disappears (need to really test that out) but its a ton of time to determine the coding they used. WOBO is good for that explanation. He might not have decided to go into heli spawning topics yet. Run the Maze again until you count the number of crashes per server, random % is determined not the same old spawning we are used to. The same applies to boats, heli's, police cars and that. Ive done a ton of testing and the coding was changed. It has nothing to do with the 4 restarts. Its a new coding that is making it re spawn after you loot it in time. Just because i told you an easy way of doing it, doesn't mean it wont change again next patch. I really like this format, and thank the dev's for making a pretty cool re spawning for others to enjoy the chopper runs. Its not the best explanation, but i tried to narrow down the points.

The rest is a simple recap of the situation at this time and looking to the future. They are thanking those that have stuck by DayZ SA and are (in a sense) encouraging you to continue to do so. Pretty good as far as PR goes, imho. Ive stuck with it, i enjoy the game. Those saying Warz is a shitty game well its not, just needs a ton of work to it to make it good. Besides the cheaters that ruined it. I must say, people really don't know the stress these guys do go through. Plus the fact, they had to redo, rehash and retrain themselves every day. We are a community striving to make dayz better. If you don't think Dayz Dev's and the community can do any better at making the game hardcore enough and make it so everyone enjoys their first experience, then just depart. Why are you here? go play something else. Thanks Day Z Dev's, for all the hard work and dedication into making Dayz what it will become in time. Your efforts do not go unnoticed by many of us in this community, and those taking a break are also in agreement with what i am trying to say. Its stressful on alpha testers too, to report and find problems. I've felt the hardships of limitted testing products in each deployment. Such as ammo, guns, food-water in balances, persistence, game speed, ui, clunky movements, etc.. the list goes on, and the further we get into development each of these issues can be slowly worked out by each patch. Each company is different, each buy or lease software products, BI has made a statement prior to development they want to use their own in house tools. So be it, its a company, its a software company that designs products. They do have to look out for the end dollar 10-20 years from now. They also have to write these products sometimes at the last minute to deploy new features. Give them a break once in awhile too. You know if only half of these people would go get arma 3 and start scripting, modding they would understand what kind of semi work goes into products like this. Exile new mod, is turning eyes all over the place. Its a great mod, and they deserve rewards for their efforts like dean did a while ago. Don't think people have been following that project since its inception. Thanks Dayz dev's for appreciating our efforts. Now gibme the tools so i can start modding =D :beans: :beans: :thumbsup:

Not happening =P My servers name will be Boneboys I got Guns! I know, all excited to start modding, scripting, if hicks don't tell me soon what tools to prep for ill have to fly there soon. Better yet boneboys, go speak to him for me, on behalf of the modding to let us sneak peak at the tools at least.

Woot!

I have a bug submission of a fence through a home. Blocks you from upstairs too. Some really weird copy and paste stuff going on. Somehow the cords are overlapped by something different. Was this map an older map? with the new cords of buildings. Someone explain this to me, because i believe either we have an older map or a error in the placement of the cords. I dunno but i can fix it, given the right files to work with.... omg i want to mod!!! and script.

Yeah somehow it got added twice to map. Which can be why, they need to look at bigger cities to see if multi buildings are overlapping over top of others. Would make FPS go to hell and back on our side, and server performances. I am sure it will be fixed after the holidays. Edit=Should mention that also could be a sqf location error, Copy and Paste 2 instances.

Yeah have a good holiday guys! ill be throwing flash bangs around, then ill just have to use my axe.. maybe i should try to make some slingshots, and throw beans at you all in cherno. Better yet lets throw smoke around, the black one is pretty. /laugh

you just had to go there didn't you. Bastards last time i say merry Christmas you English Nazis :) hehe

CC, but it might be the policy that if your accepting $$ you have to have it reviewed as a product the same as final Otherwise, steam would have loads of games unfinished. With no reviews. Am i incorrect? Leaving it up to the community to decide to buy it or not. Dayz also warned people its in pre alpha, then alpha stages. and in my eyes its better if steam doesn't accept any game that is not playable. It should also be half the price, until beta. Otherwise go to kick starter for funds. Then bring it to steam around alpha/beta 1-2 months before release.
