For me it's like Hell said, a mix of both. You can make the game very realistic but in some area's it will be no fun and in some area's it would be too easy. I like realism but realism can ruin a game as well. Have you ever opened a can with an axe? I haven't but I can see the problem with opening one with an axe. A little hole isn't going to cut it either. Are you only going to drink the juice or sauce and not the food itself? Wait, you can actually answer the question "what happens if you die"? Enlighten me because no one knows the answer to that question. As far as I know, it's the same as it is in DayZ, the lights go out. So I would like to know how they can make it more realistic?

I wonder if you even read the full post? Did you see some shiny things and only looked at that? Probably. They answer your question before it is even asked.

Maybe, I'll have to see, would love to go though. :)

Awesome! And are you sure? It says on their website that there are still tickets available for wednesday and thursday, or are those the wrong tickets? http://www.gamescom-cologne.com/gamescom/trade-fair/ticket_2/index-2.php

That moment, when you're seriously debating to go to Gamescom just to try out 0.63. Are you guys there everyday or only on a specific day(z)? I really look forward to play 0.63 and the coming patches and of course eventually 1.0.

I think you don't understand why Bohemia is undertaking these steps. I don't know if you're active on the DayZ Reddit, I'm not really active there but when this was an ongoing thing on Reddit, I did read it. Basically, there were a lot of complaints towards the fact that there is the possibility to get unbanned for a fee. They sent a complaint towards Bohemia and they responded with something like "Unbanning for a fee is just on the line of acceptable. However since we're getting a lot of complaints, we're going to review it". I guess they found that were enough complaints about this option that they decided to change their rules or are going to. There were also more accusations towards you but those were without proof so I took them with a grain of salt. I felt those were more to just shit more on you and get the bandwagon started even more. I also think those 2 topics are a reason why you got less population. I saw a lot of people react with "I do not approve of this, going to quit playing on there". But to be fair, I think Bohemia could've handled this a bit nicer. Rather than putting a message up on the server, they could just contact the owner or the GSP which then contacts you. I do know that you care a lot about running the servers, I have seen that with my own eyes. Hopefully it will make you understand that you are not being punished by abusing the monetization rules but rather the fact that a lot of people complained about a rule being on the edge of what Bohemia allow. Not a good idea because this is where it all started...

Well, truth be told, the game is everything DayZ should have been ages ago already and that is pre-alpha. Are you really comparing a pre-alpha to an alpha game right now? DayZ will have all these things eventually, but the best thing is. It will all be better. :)

I use the mouse wheel click to switch camera, the upper thumb button for TeamSpeak and the lower for in-game VOIP. The rest is basically default. Don't really have other buttons on the mouse.

I'd love to help someone in need. I'll be able to help both in-game and out-game, with pretty much anything. Questions, medical help, acquiring food, hunting, survival, basically anything. I don't mind on which hive but chances will be that I'm going to be on the beach. Doesn't mean that I'm not able to help though.

"On that note", ha the pun, nice one! And yes we definitely need this in our camp. We needs signs or something. It gets annoying if you need to run in all the tents all the time to see where you can put something away.

Well, same question to you, how many hours did you play? It is actually a legit question. Do you think they wil actually refund me when I have played more than 2000 hours? Hell no! That's not how life works. Do you think that if you go to a car dealer with a car which you driven a lot and say "I'm done with it, I want a new one, please refund this one" they are going to say "Oh of course sir, here, have the full sum you payed back". Fuck no. That's why I asked that question and that is why Steam asks that question as well. They don't refund games where you just say "meh, I played it but I don't like it anymore, give meh my munnez back". It's only for special cases when for example the game doesn't entirely run on your PC. And again, how many hours do you have? The developers are not forcing you to play, you are the person who wants to play. I have a shit ton of games which I bought but never played before. I don't see the developers of these games next to me with a gun telling me to play. If you buy a game you're not forced to play it, you know that right? Another thing, have you actually read the Steam store page? It literally says there "do not buy this game", you have no arguments whatsoever because it literally tells you to not buy the game. Oh and that the game is on Steam doesn't mean their support should be at Steam. That is total bullshit. I rather get support through a platform which the company who own the game made than through a third party platform.

I know there is/was a bug where you get 1 FPS/stutters/freezing/hiccups but I'm not sure if that's the case here. If it's every minute then I don't think it's that bug. Haven't seen the bug in a while either. On what kind of disk do you have DayZ installed, an HDD or a SSD?

Well, as you already said, it's a goal for you. I don't understand what the problem is then? Sure, the vehicles might not be in the best position at the moment but if someone took a vehicle apart, it gives you a mission, a goal. Who knows, maybe you get killed while trying to get that thing together. That is DayZ right there. And in the end, if you drive away in your vehicle which took a while to put together, you're going to feel like a boss. Cars in the mod were a big thing and even the developers stated that vehicles are going to play a vital part in DayZ and so it will be. And it also totally makes sense to find a stripped car. Wouldn't you take a battery from another car in real life, in an apocalypse if you need one? That leaves the one you took it from without a battery. This means that the next person who comes across this car needs to find a new battery in order to get the thing working.

I don't think DayZ Vanilla is going to be for you then. I think the vehicle spawns will be the same or even less in Vanilla. DayZ isn't supposed to be easy peasy, lemon squeezy, it's supposed to be hard. Yes I'm 100 % that they spawn fully functional, all of them.

Trust me, it's not the developers, it's the players. They currently spawn working with every part in there, even the tires. It is the players who throw the parts and other items out. They're definitely not useless... ok the bus is. They all have a learning curve, the more you drive, the more you learn. I rarely wreck a vehicle because I got so many hours of practice in. At first always stay on the road, preferably paved roads. Once you get some experience and you know the area a bit you can try going off-road through fields. Another huge tip: stay out of forests or treelines with vehicles, you're going to get yours wrecked, 100 %. So they are spawning functional but this will not stay this way. It's currently this way so it makes testing easier but in the future they will probably spawn with random parts, which makes sense.

One question, how many hours do you have in DayZ?

Zed? That's mah pet goddangit.

I really hope he was fucking joking. If not, I hope he never plays DayZ again.

Nice action. Now I see it from your perspective, I'm pretty sure I'm the only one who hit the guy at Stary since he went unconscious. You can tell it by the infected standing at his body. If one of you would've hit him, he would've died when I shot him. That spray of that guy in the tower though. :')

Don't get alarmed but I see a bandit up on that tower pointing a gun!

No idea what's up with that. Maybe the server you're playing on reset persistence every restart? As far as I know it joins the server you played on last time.

It would be weird if they would push the map extension to Stable since it hasn't been pushed to Experimental. Unless they sneaked it in and didn't mention it.

If a person goes under 500 blood they will not wake up automatically. Either by someone else or by blood regeneration they will wake up.

Thank you for informing us about the wipe. I guess it will be tomorrow during maintenance?

Gloves: look in the wooden sheds with the window in the back or in the garage blocks. Explosive or NATO smoke grenades: not sure if I found smoke grenades, I generally don't take them or make note of them. The NATO grenades I haven't seen yet but they might be rare. Plate vests, pouches and holsters: I don't think I have seen any but I haven't looted a lot of heli's to be honest. SMERSH: Haven't seen either the bag or the vest but again, didn't loot many heli's. VSS: I have seen the VSS but not the mag or ammo. FN FAL: I have seen the FN FAL but not the mag. But to be honest, a lot of these things are just very rare like FN FAL mags and VSS Vintorez mags or ammo.
