Server/Client performance is the issue, that is why they are the way they are.

If anything, I think if the Zeds did have lootable items it would have to be mostly basic shtuff. Maybe rarely find something really useful like rounds or the like, farming Zeds shouldn't be an option for good gear. The Zeds are going to be mostly there to be an antagonist once they're fixed, at the moment not so much. Once they're sorted we will have a reason to shoot them because they'll kill us if we don't.

All you need to do is use the server filter. Filter for Testing or Experimental, easy as.

I'm sure there are some stealth things implemented into the patch. That's a good thing though because it's nice to have at least some surprises. ;)

If anyone is following DayZ dev twitter feeds then this... Chris Torchia ‏@ctorchia 4hProtip: the new zombies are harder to kill due to the armor they wear. Make those shots count - go for the head.

What he's saying is he loves 3rd person servers cos it keeps the asshats out of the Hardcore 1st person servers. In a nutshell. I agree but since I have switched my server to first person only pop has dropped a fair bit and I personally like 1st person much better. It just seems that a lot of people cry "more hardcore" servers and when they are given them, people are nowhere to be found. :huh:

Definitely ^This We don't need teleporting or being able to physically look into players inventories or anything like what appeared in the Mod. What we do need are tools to properly Admin a server because at the moment we can't do a whole hell of a lot. Some biggest things is wanting a GMT offset, RCon access and something like BEC for scheduling server restarts/messaging. These would do for now. The thing that caused issues in the Mod were tools that gave Admins the potential to abuse them, which a fair amount did. I for one didn't abuse those tools but it just takes one bad apple to spoil the whole bunch and we're all thrown into the bad Admin basket. We don't need these tools but what we do need should be implemented soon, fingers crossed.

They will warned or be shutdown by the GSP, it's that simple.

Not understanding the outfit bit when you have a variety of clothing now with more to come. The humanity thing is too gamey, to have special abilities because you play a certain way? No thanks! And as Fluxley says... To find out if you're friendly or not... You have to shoot someone? Maybe some things should be brought in from the Mod but these aren't any of them.

The time limit of 10mins is actually plenty of time to loot a body you put down, it's the issue of running back to YOUR dead body people are having issues with. When you die you shouldn't be able to take as long as you like to get back to your body and regear, that's just too easy most of the time. To make it easy to get back to your body and get all your gear back makes the idea of permadeath nul and void. Do I think 10mins is too short to get back to your body? Depends on where you died but a max of 30mins is what I think. Right now the 10mins timer is a placeholder and people need to relax, in saying that I hope it doesn't increase to more than 30mins, 40mins maybe. DayZ is not meant to be a game of convenience, people really need to get a grip on that and it's only going to get better or worse. Depending on how you look at it. ;)

Cut eye holes in it, give me a machete or pitchfork and I can be Jason Vorhees! :thumbsup:

Welcome to DayZ Alpher! ;)

It is an exploit if one uses it to have the advantage over other players, just like any exploit. Even with a full moon people who use the gamma thing want that advantage rather than playing like their supposed to. It needs to be fixed somehow, maybe having no option to shut off certain graphic values. I like playing in game at night but the thought of others exploiting the gamma thing is disturbing. They try to justify it by any means possible but it's mostly just to have that advantage.

Great stuff! Can't wait to test this build!

Good stuff and great Morgan Freeman! What's Morgan to do, now that he realizes he's not in Detroit!? :o

But it doesn't and that's the problem among other things. I'm sure it will be fixed at some point but anyone ranting about 24/7 day or night hasn't a clue as to what options Admins have at their disposal, which isn't much at the moment.

Because it's the closest thing we're going to get to a real Zombie Apocalypse. Or is it?

Just so some of you people have a clue... The Day/Night cycle is kinda broken and we cannot; as Admins; fix it. So we either have to deal with all night, all day or switch the times between night/day manually. When this is fixed you will see proper Day/Night cycles. We don't have proper GMT offsets, we can only set the time of day at which the server resets at. If we set it to local time it sets it to night and stays night due to the time resetting when the server restarts. We can only do manual warnings if we know when the server is going to restart. As Admins; at this point in time; we are very limited on what we can do. I think rather than complaining about something you know nothing about, it's best to research the problem first before putting it on the Admins.

It hasn't even been a month yet(just under actually) and some are here bitching about it's taking too long? Are you guys children serious? You people seriously must be trolling or have a severe case ADHD. You paid for an Alpha and I really don't think you know what that means or what it takes to develop a game. As far as making the community aware through proper channels... The community IS Reddit, DayZgame, Twitter, Facebook and anywhere they feel like posting it, to update them all is redundant. If I don't see it here I check elsewhere, is that too difficult a task for you to muster? Opinions are fine but some just come across as whining children that haven't a clue.

^This I'm sure we'll see a patch relatively soon.

The easy mode WP's from the Mod should never make their way into the SA... Ever! I removed these when I was running Mod servers as well. They really server no other purpose than to make things easy. Nope not needed. GPS's? Fine by me but obviously need batteries and be ultra rare.

They really need to disable the ability for guests to post on the Feedback Tracker. The spam I'm receiving from it is ludicrous.

The background noise happens in TS as well and they can always be muted in game or out. So not sure what that excuse is all about. The invasion of privacy thing is a bit rich too, if you're in TS amongst others(which is most likely the case) how can this be invasion of privacy? If you're playing a game would you actually be trading government secrets or whatever else you consider private in TS... I really find this hard to believe It's only an invasion of privacy because people want to conspire and plan without consequence much like everything else. Not saying I totally dig the idea of Direct always being on but some of the excuses here are a bit rich.

Could there be a way for DayZ to detect which setting a VOIP proggy is using? Whether it be press to talk(and which key bind that is) or always open, with disabling in game VOIP not being an option. Yeah it can be circumvented by an external sources(another laptop or whatever) but it will deter the TS advantage for a lot. Not a programmer so don't even know if this is feasible.

Although there is in house testing, an experimental build may be pushed out to the experimental servers to be tested by us. Check this thread on how to do this. I've checked this morning and currently there isn't a new build to test unless they pushed it out within the past hour or so.
