Welcome to dayz

I live in Canada and we have all the pine trees you want. A fully canopy tree can still be pushed back to hide in. A trimmed tree exposes you. I will not lie, you may end up with a few cuts and scrapes. Most branches are close, so you would have to wiggle your way or crawl under them. It is doable just sucks to be you in the end.

Since, Lord Hall did it, i figured the rest are

It is a known restriction, and is being worked on. I know i was one that posted on this to the dev team in testing. Video glitches and exploits. So it is well documented, much like everything else is. I believe soon they will have fixes for most of it.

A dev should not be really doing a ton of FB or posts anyways. Once in awhile seeing posts etc and responding is a good thing but we have Community Managers for this. A programmer should be posting on FB? not a good time management, unless on their own time. Hicks on the other hand? he is a Community leader, and needs to address some of the game views back directly. His input is what drives sales, and a relationship to the community. He also has a ton of time to spend with his company and his team. Otherwise no real good comes out of cross information from a programming dev. I agree completely with this Zombo :) Dayz is not dead, maybe in limbo from the huge influx of younger CSGO players??

It is basically the same, except you can build worlds, missions etc.. It is an approved tool by BI. This however tool you linked is not. I understand it is to debug the game, but... still not within the rules i understood.

You mean like arma 3 Apex editor? It is really hard to say if they will go to that level.

I don't care for UReal engine, due to the massive work it would require this dev team to fix in order for many things to work. Such as Under the ground placement of boxes. The cheats that bypass the engine, etc... So much to do for them, it is best they made their own engines.

But then i would be kicked out for stalking all the kids, and KOSing them :(

That is awesome, just like my father playing and i am 47.... Glad to see your into games like this. I gave you beans, but would rather give you a beer!

There is only a couple reasons why you would care to build a small, or larger base. 1. Clan, guild, trader, RP events, for a larger type trader. 2. Full storage, hording, safety net, a place to simply call home. It boils down to mainly how you want to play the game, without this option Dayz can be boring by itself. The base building, hording of supplies, collecting of supplies, bettering your character and way of life, is the only benefit. It becomes an End Game type of game. Without some Roll playing events, and modding we have nothing at all in any one of these games to put in 500+ hours. Due to EA, most of us already have gotten our moneys worth, and played 1000-5000 hours. Some of us tested, some of us just simply played it. So you get the feeling all survival games get boring after awhile. Like some of us we played Arma 2, Arma 3 modded survival games. There really isn't anything special about any of them. The reasons why most would keep playing them, is the survival, searching and building. There is no end game unless you create it. PVP is the end game for some, survival between the PVP gives others that feeling of accomplishment. Then we have Role Playing... it is a completely different type of game play. If you solo it, it can become x10 more boring since you have to do it all yourself. Grouping up with friends, and randoms and accomplishing something more then simply drinking and eating but building a base and defend it, can be fun.

Common WIP

Speaking of ponds, rivers we need more..... The people of cherno want to fish sometime...... and what happened to the awesome sport of fly fishing?

Would be cool if they slowly started to look weathered down, and needed repair. Rotting wood and fences falling apart. Overtime it would look like a rotting pile of wood. But Meh, that's too advanced for the team.

Base building and trade skills has been the #1 requested thing in all survival games. The majority of players, involved in ARK, Conan, Arma 3, Arma 2, Life is Feudal, Elder scrolls, 7 days to die, Finding Bigfoot, Miscreated, The Forest, The long dark, Subsistence, Survive the nights, are just a small handful of very successful building games. A place to call home, a place to call base, a storage area. But we will never forget games like Mind-craft, EQ, EQ2, DAOC, Shadow bane, MMO for introducing ideas of base building, guild housing etc.. It is a #1 feature in most games being built today. It has been adopting for over 20 years now, and has progressed to a new high. We now have the ability to build something, other then just plain "walking simulators" game play or PVP FPS games. We have the ability to make our characters different from each other. I wish dayz would allow us to make our characters differently, then just a simple mouse movement/ aim/ speed of the mouse, FPS type game. But it would require a change again, that i don't believe the devs are willing to go that far. I personally have had the honors to experiment in many of these games the different base building and character improvements over the last 30 years. Every game usually starts with some storage container, such as a backpack to a house, or mil base. If we want to progress further and provide more things to do in survival we need base building and character customization, and skill progressions. Otherwise Survival by itself can be rather dull.

There is base building?

Doesn't that say something to you? that maybe there is many people that enjoy it? These forums are minor to the players that actually play to have interactions, either in pvp or KOS openly is actually rather fun. Players like myself can turn the tables and start complaining about "care bear" game play. We don't because pvp is fun, and don't care what these forums have to say. But i do play all sides of the coin, except Role playing, i am turned off by trying to pretend someone i am not. I don't KOS to grief people, i will turn to help someone out if attacked by more then 1 person. I also don't KOS all the time either.

Lets try this approach, Server 1 population is PVE, RP, survival, and a whitelisted server? Server 2 population is PVE + PVP, survival, and whitelisted server? - Does it matter what hicks said? if you want pvp interactions or the random chance some one will kos isn't the threat much better for some players? We can not dictate how players play, or what they want to accomplish. There will always be a true feel of danger with other players in the area. Then PVP gets boring, so we approach it with modding. I honestly don't think many of you have played arma3 and what direction BI goes with modding. *all of this is based on how the population wants to play, and what they want out of the server.* I totally agree with the direction BI is taking if it wishes to continue with top modding games like Arma 3 was. If, and i mean IF vanilla Survival survives in Dayz SA on official or private servers, i expect it will grow with a community that enjoys it. But honestly i feel some of these arguments i read today, are out by 1-2 years, its a different game now.

You mean like the game Dying light? It maybe something in the future, very difficult performance hits and still is in early development. I don't know if we will ever get 500 infected all chasing you down to be honest.

Forced to maybe uninstall and reinstall, sometimes it will help with a fresh download of files. Verify doesn't always repair the exact thing that is crashing. Nothing you can do, other then removing the exact files or files causing this issue. Sometimes they get damaged, since it is Pre Alpha to everything i doubt they have fixed this problem yet.

Well that was arma 3 fault for the limits on maps to use. Thanks to Apex, nobody is purchasing it to continue forward for maps like Tanoa. Low numbers playing it, even though it is one of the best maps i have seen. They need to offer that map for free, just saying....

Exile is a nice clean mod. Easier for scripting, and has lots of improvements to come. Epoch is decent but i found it just too many errors when running a server. Half the stuff would work or not work. Arma 3 isn't really a friendly thing to mod, but to play?? it is ok, not anywhere near what Dayz SA is going to be like once completed.

LOL yes, i am faced with the same issues, just it is soaking wet still, but the grass is high. We had 2 good days and the rest rained. I thought it was summer again, because the first 21 degree day we had i got burnt.

So that is where all this cold front has been coming from =D Been trying to cut the grass but the ground is still so wet...

I assume you played those games back then too? in your 30's there emu? I am in my 40's aiming to 50 ouch... but yes we played those games to death back then.
