Plebiscite

After the patch: http://www.twitch.tv...ite/b/326838618 well played, I have to say zombies are pretty hard to shoot near towns now :) (so are players) /endsarcasm On a more serious note, any chance of this artifact issue getting fixed sometime soon. I mean it has been going on for DAYZ now.

Ok to all you "Nay Sayers" players, please feel free to explain why you dislike the post. Elaborate a little on your disapproval so we can get a better understanding of the community's state of mind. This is ALPHA for a reason, were all here to test and try and make the game better. Now my opinion: A few things I think need to be removed from the "patch," and why! * [NEW] Cooked meat refils 400 blood only instead of 800. Canned food refils 100 blood isntead of 200. (REDACTED) The current healing from food system is fine, it enables players to be able to play alone if they don't have friends who play the game. * [FIXED] Zombies no longer have super human speed (REDACTED) Keep this, the Zombies need to be able to run faster or the players will just be able to avoid them all together, therefore making Zombies a laughable joke. * [NEW] Soda cans spawn chance decreased. (REDACTED) Keep soda cans the way they are, They aren't harming the system as of currently the way food is. Food is too easy to find as is, and unless you can milk cows now I think the drinks are plenty rare enough. * [NEW] Animals spawn chance decreased. (REDACTED) Keep the animals spawn chance the way it is, it allows players to be able to avoid towns for food for a while which is ok. Players need a second food source that is easy enough to get your hands on without having to worry about starving to death every five minutes. Now my opinion on the rest: Military weapons are a joke, I cant walk around without kicking over a rock and finding a M16. There is no rarity for any of those items, they need to be harder to find because every guy and his brother having an M4, an AK, and an m107, is the reason this game is easily turning into nothing but deathmatching. Death is supposed to have a consequence, if someone knows what the punishment is for death is currently please fill me in. With the way guns are currently spawning (military grade weaponry that is) getting shot for what ever reason isn't punishable, you just go get your guns back in 20 minutes. The new blood system would bring unity to people, you would have a reason to be friendly because you would need players of your own blood type. This would add a reason to not shoot everyone on sight because you could possibly need them in five minutes. I WILL BE EDITING THIS AS I GO!

oh I know wouldn't it be such a drag if they did this? /endsarcasm OK no to be honest, you don't want to game to be what it already is? lawl, funny joke good sire.. gave me a laugh

Need antibiotics in Berezino, hospital wont spawn any.. please help!

M249 saw; tons of bullets in a clip, accurate as hell, and destroys players without prejudice :) BTW im sad to see so many Enfield and AK-74 picks... they got nerfed fellas... they're kinda poop now :|

What happened? no matter what I do I cant get rid of them, and they seriously just caused me to die to some random non sense so can we please explain what has changed since the last patch so I can fix this?

So me and my Wookie(ghillie suit) friend were coming from Elektro where we just had to put down a few unruly types with an AKM and a M14-AIM, I have to say it was risky business but it had to be done. When about 1/2 way to Cap Golovo we bump into some survivor running down the shore from some Zeds, I have to admit I was pretty close to just legging him and watching the Zeds have their fun. Instead cooler heads prevailed and I shouted to him over the mic "You running down the tracks come here, i'll shoot the Zeds." He kept running so I said again "Come here, I don't want to accidentally hit you!" I understand the poor fellows distrust with the current DayZ community, so I figured I had to prove it to him. I take the shots with my 1911 and kill the first Zed, and then the second. I figured I'm normally a bandit and all but sometimes it's ok to do the right thing to help out a fellow human. To you sir, I hope you remember my kindness and pass it along to others! See guys its not always like you have to shoot everyone, he had nothing to lose if he wanted to stalk us and kill us.

You have my beans sir!

Ok, seriously I've died so many times to hackers, and most of the time I shrug it off and I can live with it. (mostly because it happens like once a week or so.) Well I've died 4 times in the past two days to hackers, tonight I just died to a guy who teleported me into debug 30 minutes after I had been farting around the map minding my own business. The problem was, I didn't just lose an m4 or some easy to replace stuff. I lost a SVD Camo, L85AWS, I had everything even a ghillie suit. I'm tired of this shit, I'm tired of busting my ass to find my gear and then lose it to hackers, until something is done I'll be duping my gear and hiding it around the maps in tents so when I die to hackers I can go back and get it. I don't mind a death to a player who plays "properly", that's fine and I pat them on the back for killing me properly. I have never one time combat logged or intentionally cheated at this game, but I'm so fed up with finding great loot and losing it to cheaters. Until they are dealt with properly I'm going to do what I have to in order to keep my gear safe from such players. Sorry Rocket, you made a great mod and I enjoy it so much. I love this game to death, it is one of my favorite games in a LONG long time. I just can't deal with the cheaters who do nothing but harm the game, and get away with it. Punish me for duping items if you must, but I see no need in continuing to go out and re-find the SAME gear 100x over because a hacker kills me. I'll quote what I said above, "I don't mind a death to a player who plays properly, that's fine and I pat them on the back for killing me "properly"." Sorry again for the lengths I've been forced to, but I see no other way to keep myself from hating this game. I would NEVER go to these lengths if this wasn't as big of an issue as it is, but hackers get what they want and they do what they want. Players like me who play fair and have played for months get shit on by hackers non-stop and have no clear sight of this issue being fixed anywhere in the near future.

A for effort? :D

I like to walk the hills and find snipers, they're get rich quick schemes to me :)

Well I tried fora long time to be friendly until Ii got pissed on too many times. It became easier to shoot on site and rob others, but I don't feel as good about it. My friend on TS said to me when I said I was going to wing this poor guy, he goes "Ehh... I dont know... Ok." after I saved him from his zombies I then realized and said back, "If I had legged him it would have been funny as hell for about 5 minutes." This is true, I would have laughed my ass off for about 5-10 minutes then forgotten about it. Now I kinda feel good that I might have saved someone from a death by Zeds and I might even have made then trust people a little easier.

Dont don't hate, I could have shot this poor fellow. Then I could go shoot many more poor fellows, but I stopped shooting poor fellows, and only those with guns that are a direct threat to me. SO I think I'm becoming more of a survivor now than a bandit.BTW!!! I have never once sniped a starter city and killed unarmed people. The only time I kill people who are defenseless is when they are going to a place that has a gun, and that's because when people have guns they think they're untouchable and shit.

MAYBE they just so happen to have been/are in the army in real life, so it's either a habit OR they happen to talk to each other that way because it is a way they all understand? Either way, fail troll good sir... fail troll indeed :)

You explained that poorly. Say they want the money now, so they sell anyone who wants to buy the game right now for $xx.xx You now own this game, and wont have to pay anything else for it. a week down the road they polish it more so it goes up in price to $xx.xx NOW anyone else who DOES NOT own the game has to pay this price. and so on and so forth until release. edit: upon release you still DO NOT need to pay anymore money.

your reading skills are not very good are they? let me help you. He is talking about buying DayZ "STANDALONE" BUT, if DayZ "STANDALONE" is released on the arma 2 engine he wants to know if DayZ "STANDALONE" purchasers will be upgraded to arma 3 engine at some point. so no, he isn't talking about buying a mod, he's talking about buying DayZ "STANDALONE" edit: I think I should have cleared this miss communication up a bit, if not please let me know, I can be more thorough :)

not really karma, server hopping is an exploit and technically considered cheating. there is a post as such where Rocket calls it cheating and is talking about punishing them. He has a good reason to be mad, but he blew up way too soon rather than trying to act like an adult.

Ok, so someone care to explain a few things to me? I have had this weird thing happen a few times now. I picked up an l85AWS from a player that I killed, it vanished... I found one at a chopper, it vanished too. I found a SVD Camo, it is ALSO now gone out of my inventory, and no not my bag so no one can say it was stolen. this game is eating guns and it makes no sense, I want to know why and how to fix this. (I had that SVD for quite a long time, so it wasn't a desync issue.) ALSO is there a way that I can get that gun back without having to go bang my head against a wall again? I mean its pretty obvious if any of the dev's check the logs I had that gun.

guess I wont get any help here, so I'm screwed.

nah, the guy didnt have jack on him. I shot him for his morphine... which he didnt even have that :\ (so I didnt take anything from him.) it's like the gun was deleted, I just logged in to empty primary, and a secondary in hand. Edit: Scratch that, I took a STANAG mag from his corpse.

I believe the L85AWS is back in the game now, it's spawning at choppers and such. (oh and that didn't vanish... yet...)

sounds to you like I want a spawned weapon... cute assumption, how quickly did you roll out your jump to conclusions mat on that one? Actually I had that SVD for about 24 hours, I logged in today STILL had that SVD Camo... I killed a player with it and looted his corpse. I had to log to do some running around, and I come back and the SVD Camo is gone. I check my backpack, and the most recent L85AWS (the one I found last night at the chopper) is still there, my pistol is still there, everything is still there EVEN the SVD ammo, just not the gun. I checked my backpack a little more thoroughly and I found a Makarov PM in there, I dont know if this has anything to do with my SVD Camo vanishing but I figured I would put all of the information in there. ALSO when I logged back in I was in the EXACT same spot I logged out it, and I still had a broken leg. These things alone tell me my character didn't get rolled back, my gun just took a hike.

Broken legs at stary... AND I'm sad... help? D:

I love the idea in theory, if people could have unbiased opinions this would be the best thing since sliced bread. The issue comes down to they wont, and that I doubt server admins are willing to devote this much of their time to handling the "hacker" situation. The other issue at hand here is, there seems to be no other alternative to the current problem. Your idea seems to be the very first and also the very last plausible solution that the community is going to come up with, until DayZ Dev team gets involved more seriously.

1. you're a complete ass. 2. The bear trap thing, I laughed my ass off... You're still such a dick though :P
