Do Zombies Dream Of A Good Nights Sleep? (Zombie feedback)
Shabadu_ replied to SmashT's topic in General Discussion
Didn't they say that the current zombie spawn mechanic is temporary until they create a better solution and as a result all the conversation and whining and whatnot is therefore irrelevant? -
Hotfix changelog: Stable Branch: 0.35.115188
Shabadu_ replied to mattlightfoot's topic in News & Announcements
OMG It's been nearly 20 mins since you last released an update, this pace of progress is so slow and we haven't had any word from Dean or Matt through the forum and twitter and Reddit and a video on the dev blog and directly into my inbox, you guys are making millions and nothing is happening, this is such a joke, you should be ashamed of yourselves because there should be updates and new content and vehicles and a flying pony added every ten minutes... Nice, keep up the great work ;-)- 307 replies

I've been on 40/40 servers, gone to NEAF and gotten mostly geared up... either find a low-pop server (good restart indicator) or give up and go play something else. DayZ may not be for you...

Rolling Changelog: Stable Branch: 0.32.114557
Shabadu_ replied to rocket's topic in News & Announcements
If tents are "game-breaking" as some people suggest, because they somehow negate the idea of permadeath which is apparently desirable to some. Then surely those same people are against the idea of building structures of any kind, such as rocket has suggested could happen with underground bases etc? The idea of permadeath doesn't work in this game format in a practical sense, it should simply be hard to survive long enough to reach your dead body/tent/stash/underground lair. -
Gear does definitely spawn on Skalisty... I've been there as a newspawn and picked up backpacks, axes, food, handcuff keys...

Donating is ruining this game faster than the hackers
Shabadu_ replied to BerkshireHunt's topic in DayZ Mod General Discussion
It's just sad to see what's happened to this mod as far as the pay2win crap goes. Why bother playing if you want to be fully geared up at the start? Might well play BF3 or heaven forbid... Arma... If there was any value in playing DayZ with custom loadouts, someone would produce a mod that allows you to choose your gear at spawn (unless I've missed that one). This is just a cynical way of making money, not an effort to support the upkeep of the server. -
Berezino: The Best City in all of Chernarus?
Shabadu_ replied to TheRaptorFence's topic in DayZ Mod General Discussion
You're not supposed to advertise >.< it's meant to be a secret! -
Some imagination? ;-) But honestly, no. Exactly that. Which is why it's a shame this couldn't have begun with the SA and not needed the mod as a "proof of concept" as Rocket put it.

Beautiful post, you're absolutely right. I'm saying I don't like the way the vast majority appear to approach the game, not that they shouldn't. I want to see if there are enough like-minded people out there to do what you've pointed out, to create something in their servers other than all-out deathmatching. If not, then I can walk away and leave them to it, it is only a game after all ^_^

I agree with you, I haven't died in months because I play very cautiously and avoid needless conflict. I don't go to the main hotspots (except NWAF) because there's often not much decent loot and an endless supply of tedious bambi snipers. In the past two months I've watched groups in helis raid airfields, bambis struggling with zombies (made sure they didn't get killed) and randoms running or driving across open spaces. Only killed one person because he tried to ambush me with an M4A1 CCO SD as I drove toward Krasnostav, hopped out of the rustbucket GAZ, ducked into some trees, put away hatchet, took out G36A and ended the goit. It's nice to see that I'm not the only one that is trying to play the game differently. This is what I'm looking for, people who don't just spawn on the coast, grab a gun and go shoot the nearest person for no reason other than "it's fun". I'm trying to figure out if there are enough of us to make it worthwhile playing this game. I'm not stupid enough to think I can make everyone play the way I want or that they should. I'll walk away and find something I can enjoy, I'm just keen to avoid abandoning this game if I don't have to. Also, I don't have money to waste on shit I won't enjoy lol.

Perhaps you'll forgive my confusion... I can appreciate that my tone was probably quite combative, but contradicting yourself just doesn't make any sense. You're the one that took the conversation elsewhere, not me. I'm not saying the game isn't living up to my expectations, simply that I'm not enjoying the fact that it's flooded with people that don't seem to be all that interested in what I think is the premise of the game. I hope that the SA will improve the situation, but don't expect that it really will. What I'm trying to work out is if I'm literally the only person here that thought something more could have come out of this than yet another deathmatch and if indeed that was all it was supposed to be. Running out of ways I can re-phrase the same point.

My thanks to Inception for unlocking this thread, it has become clear that perhaps my intention for the nature of the discussion was lost in my whining leaving rant! (lol you got a reply in before I finished my continued blethering :P) Just to clarify, I wanted this to be a conversation about the nature of the game. I disagree that it's purely a "sandbox" but I do agree that it is definitely all about players making their own choices and doing their own thing. That's the very best thing about games like these, you get to play around with it. But my point is that I believed it to be a zombie apocalypse survival game and I get fed up with the fact that all it actually is, is a deathmatch. It's very uninspired and sad that the vast majority of people apparently lack any more sophistication than to seek out yet more games that revolve purely around shooting other people and/or messing with their hard work. Perhaps this conversation has been done to death, I have to apologies for not being involved with perhaps another thread. Very much appreciate Inception giving me another chance with this one and fair play if you still feel that nothing new comes out of it then I'll stop whining if you want to bin it when it inevitably degenerates into flame wars (or before) ;) MONSTER, at what point did I say that everyone should bend to my will and my way of thinking and do what I want? I'm asking questions, not making demands. Grow up.
