I like the idea of the slots being reduced. Very much so...and it should have been done years ago. Nobody should be walking around with an M-16 in their trousers and a Glock in their T-Shirt and a Mosin in their backpack. It's fucking stupid. And while your at it Devs, make the fucking zombies lethal again. It's absolutely ridiculous that the main antagonist in the game cannot kill the player. Thanks. 🙂

You have to learn to love DayZ, warts and all. But it can be a super frustrating game when you're starting off no doubt and understanding the game can be tough. However, when you learn the ropes, there really is no other game like it. Despite its many flaws, it has turned into the longest game I've ever played and the best.

Battlemetrics com is a site that allows you to see servers for online games. On there you can get the IP addresses for DayZ servers. Such as the game port example below I used to be able to cut and paste the IP address into the Direct Connect button on the DayZ launcher and get into a server with that IP address. Now I cannot because the button doesn't work and hasn't since the update before last.

Well, unless I'm doing something wrong, it's not working for me. Was there anything special that you did? I used to be able to take an IP address, like this 178.63.41.159:2491 from the Battlemetrics and paste it into the Direct Connect button and it would connect to the server. Now, nothing happens. I, literally, just tried it right now. Having that Direct Connect button was a godsend cos the launcher sucks so bad.

When are you guys going to fix the Direct Connect button in the launcher?

Are people really that pissed off with the infected in DayZ? They're weak as piss. FFS they don't even kill you any more. 🙄

The launcher has always been an absolute joke. But the "new" server pop counter is another layer entirely... 49 of 50 players. Except it's actually not. What's the point in having this if it isn't even remotely accurate?

People's footsteps are already too quiet at the moment.

Are there any plans to revert the infected back to being able to kill the player. It's been, what, a couple of years now since they were nerfed making them little better than pointless. They are supposed to be the main antagonist for the player to overcome in the game and yet they do nothing to the player but send them for a nap every now and then. They might as well not be in the game at all.

Try the DayZ intenz server.

Agro issues have been around since DayZ was in its infancy. It's always been a problem. For instance, I've lost count of how many times I've been fired at and the infected start chasing me instead of the guy that fired his pop gun. But I'll put this down to the infected just being, well, infected people and not exactly thinking straight. In any case, I don't think some dodgy aspects to infected agro should eliminate the fact that they should be able to kill the player. Having a RNG chance that they'll just beat the crap out of you and lose interest for another target is an ok idea. But that will never be implemented. But they really need to be a threat again. Otherwise they're pointless.

They infected should be un-nerfed and be able to kill the player again. Dumbing down the infected was one of the worst decisions the devs have ever made and it needs to be reversed.

Since the last patch I cannot use the "direct connect" option. Anyone else having this problem?

They day that MS switches to any kind of 365 bollocks for Windows is the day I stop using it.

It's fun and unique. But there's nothing "real" about it. It's a game.
