    I haven't played DayZ in a year or more, but..

     

    I have had this video idea for a couple years now and really want to give it a go.  I would need 5 to 8 guys who are able to help collect items and get the video set up.  I am willing to paypal some cash to make it more appealing for the prep work of finding items for certain outfits and whomever is able to help make a cool video.  I will do all I can to assist in finding items but if anyone is down to help that would be amazing.  In most scenes, I only need 2 to 3 people, but in one scene I will need all 8.  Is this the right place to ask for this?  If not, can anyone point me in the right direction?  Maybe a discord for more players and such?

     

     

    Thanks!

    I think you guys misread my post.  I mentioned I had an svd and was willing to trade but did not have any mags to accompany it at the time.  I was not looking for them because they are in steady supply.

     

    I am looking for plate carrier attachments.  Preferably just the holster but the pouches are welcomed as well.  I've looted everywhere except pavlovo multiple times over the past few days without seeing one holster or one pouch.

    I'm going crazy.

    I mostly see them in Tisy mil base

    Now that I think of it.. i've been through tisy twice now and have not seen them.  They used to spawn in containers a couple patches ago if i recall correctly.  Where have you seen them?  Any pattern?  I must just have lousy luck with them, heh.

    edit - svd vanished when i set it down somehow.. 😞

     

    I would like holsters and pouches for the plate carrier.  I am willing to trade an svd.  No mags or ammo for it yet as I just looted it from a crash site.  Otherwise, can anyone tell me where to find them?

    Best post I've ever read on here.  Absolutely perfect.  Eno and I play this game a lot, but we can still poke fun at all the known frustrations of this game.  I just cannot believe that they decided to come out of early access with the current state of the game and to leave out an enormous amount of stuff that they promised us would be put in once the player controller was implemented.  It's actually quite comical and absolutely ridiculous to think of their discussions leading up to the moment of release.  I figured that they would acknowledge the issues and work "around the clock" to get a fix out to remedy their mistakes.  However, all we got was "we are working on a long term fix..".

    With that said, the combat in DayZ is the best I've ever played and it is extremely exciting to know so much is on the line when you are fully geared.  No other game compares.  So I will continue to wait anxiously for updates.

    No that's not how it works. The pressure should be on the developers. They should be required to set a release date, and they should be required to specify the features that consider the game to be complete. If they cannot live up to either the deadline or the features specified, all consumers who request a refund on the set release date should get one - if the title does not live up to the specification on that date.

    That's how alpha should work. The consumer should not have to invest in developers, and not be guaranteed a final game. I want to support development of good titles, but no developer is delivering today - so, instead I refund most alpha games I buy, if they don't provide a good player experience already during alpha. It's not my fault developers today are exploiting the market.

    Again, you do not understand the point of an alpha.  Its similar to a kickstarter.  If you do not agree with it, stick to buying finished games.  Your reply stated nothing of any substance because you only have an opinion; you do not understand game development on any level, and therefore, should stick to buying finished games.  The people that want to be involved in an alpha, and help with a games progress, are the ones who should buy it.

    I refund most of the alpha games I buy on steam. Valve knows a lot of alpha releases are just milking cows for people/companies that love to exploit teenagers and their parents wallets, so most of the refunds are approved. They changed the 2 hour grace period of refunds to something similar to "no excessive game time or usage", so unless you played like 10 hours straight or kept the copy for a few days, it generally is approved.

    I hate today's culture of alpha titles, it's disgusting how people let companies exploit them. Buying an alpha title and not refunding is basically telling them "hey, please let me buy your unfinished product without you having to guarantee anything". Look at PUBG, Raft, No Mans Sky, HZ, and all other alpha games. It's impressive how Valve, even though they make a lot of money out of it, allows their Steam platform take a big hit in both quality control and reputation.

    I've got no hard feelings towards DayZ, it was the first alpha game I ever bought back on the very release day on Steam. This game has still given me value and I wouldn't refund it for anything. I however regret spending money on all other alpha titles. They are disgusting, and they only offered early alpha access because DayZ did, they saw how exploitable the market was. BI and DayZ though, they have earned their share of the money. None of the others did.

    Everyone should refund alpha games. Play it a few hours and then refund, let the producers know that it's unacceptable to milk the market only to never live up to any expectations. A big practical example of this is PUBG, it's a complete mess and they never fixed anything important, because they couldn't - netcode being one of the biggest issues to date and it never got any love.

     

    OP: I don't think you'll get a refund, factors like time owned and played are considered and you most likely owned it way past the refund window. 

    Maybe you should stick to buying finished games because it sounds like you do not understand the point of an alpha.

    i applaud the fact that you found the error and that you added it to the feedback tracker.  even that you went farther and posted everywhere else you could think of when you didnt think it was being fixed fast enough.  however i imagine they fixed it when they got to it on the feedback tracker and i imagine flaming the game and the devs of the game did not make it any faster.  people reacted harshly to your post and to be honest i agreed with then because i believed and still do that they were frustrated in how you made your complaint and how instead of just bringing attention to the issue you felt the need to go on about how the devs were crap and you would never play again if they didnt respond right now.  it came across as entitled and demanding and kinda rubbed me and im sure a few others the wrong way.  i hope your future experiences are as welcoming as most of mine have been and that we one day can tell stories of these events around a campfire or in a newly crafted base sometime in the future.  i hope your negative experience is water under the bridge.  the people in this community arent toxic most of the time and are usually very informative, helpful, and provide amazing scenic stories of their journys in dayz. 

    we all have bad days here and there.

    Aside from the things pointed out by others, I am actually impressed with the character movement and changes.  I have been very disappointed with the speed and most updates like everyone else but this video gives me some hope.  I still think the graphic overhaul of .62 was not what I expected.  I was expecting lush/thick forests and all we got was some swaying trees and bushes.  Fingers crossed.

    I wonder if you will be able to grab two radios, put them on the same frequency, and be able to drop one in the bushes that will broadcast your voice to anyone nearby when you speak into the other one?

    Also, will radio stations and walkie talkies ever work in tandem? 

    You can do this already.  Awhile back I logged on to our server and saw my buddy near our camp.  I ran up to him and started talking but realized he was AFK.  I found two radios, put them on the same frequency and placed one near a tree (next to the truck he left) and I hid in a pine tree nearby.  When he came back and started moving around I yelled through the radio in a deep voice commanding him to put his hands up.  He got in the truck and took off, lol.

    no point making crappy videos (not done wid for 6mths and still getting followers) of a game that got less interest in than donald trump, that is developed so slowly that if it went any slower it would be going backwards. stopped doing them cause the game not getting any better, thats the only reason. player base dropped so so much that theres no point. like right now there is less than 7500 playing the game, where the other game i now play a hell of alot more has 60k, and that 7500 is quite high for dayz, usually around 4500-5000 and it just keeps getting lower. only reason this was stable is so it had more than 1 update in a year, longest game ever in early access and so much longer to go to boot. 2019 this game MIGHT be beta

    Comments like this make no sense to me.  If you dislike this game then go play the other fucking game and stop acting like you're better than everyone else or that you are the first to discover that development is slower than expected.  Most people in this thread still enjoy the game for what it is and are anxious for what is to come.  Yes, every single person here already knows what the development pace is, so what you are saying is nothing new.  I took a few month hiatus until .61 came out myself.  Bye.
