must be solving difficult stuff

Only somebody who has absolutely zero knowledge about DayZ development, and perhaps game engines, can create thread like this. You know that devs spent incredible effort to create their own engine ? This thread is somehow insulting. However, this must be just ignorance.

Lol going to get bored of game before it is going to get finished haha

Don't go so far (as back seat dev).

Thats because there is none. There will never be any logic in building a base alone, you'll have to have big group of people. Ideally server with clans system, which is not presented in DayZ (hopefully is visioned) and exists only in my imagination now.... So there are always somebody from the "clan" at the base, or at least online. Hopefully. Theoretically it would be possible to set up clans in passworded servers and have same thing, but this requires successful server with a decent traffic, and serious administrating, so nobody will ignore "clans" thing, or do funny things... To put in short - without game mode, it could be done only by trusted players. If you want to do solo or small group base, there will never be a better base than few smallest tents and barrels placed wisely and placed in decent distances from each other in order to be difficult to spot, or even only few barrels, as tents doesn't have "ghile suit" on them and are always easy to spot.

I would love to travel by bus from own clan base to other calns base and do a massive fight lol Of course it would be possible to do, even only by setting a server rules. But you have to have a server, and that servers community with a lot of regulars to get things going.... It would really work only with specific game mode. I will never be interested in building a base for myself, but would be interested in building big base with other 10-50 players. Imagine 100 people server with two specific calns in that server where each would be building huge bases, or fortifying entire towns, and attacking each other. Yes, exactly that. I don't know about smokes, pictures on the windows, ownerships, trades through windows.... but having whole town under control, or some secret forest place, or both would be epic. It would be weird to never get that from DayZ, it should happen.

Hmm, never thought about that... I agree with everything. @scriptfactory What about situation if you log into a server, you appear in server together with your base, and you stay in that base for few hours, get crazy mad because no one ever comes, you leave base to look for "gameplay", and when you come back after some time you find that everything has been cleared out ? :D Or you come back only to find out that your base is no longer yours ? Or you spawn at one part of the map, but your base is at the other end of the map, and till you travel there you lose it ? You would be motivated to go offline only after coming back to your base, so, I guess, it is good thing, unless you would be forced to run there for 30minutes. Mechanics of bases are unimaginable. Solo bases will be so useless I can't even... Even small groups bases will be very useless. Ant Hives type bases would work if there would be two-three player "colonies" in the server. Of course it would be totally different game then. It wouldn't be DayZ randomness anymore, it would remind war a bit more. You wouldn't need to ask who is friendly anymore, friends would be obvious. It would be obvious where to go to meet your people, and have a shared goal build and protect main base. Map is big enough to have immersive distances..... There would be so much to squeeze out of that... I don't know maybe someone is already thinking of something like that, maybe there was a mod like that, I have no idea... Obviously it wouldn't be really DayZ anymore. If not in DayZ then in some other game such gameplay mode will appear and be very successful. But DayZ would be ideal for it... who knows... if not official then maybe mod ? I have a bit modding experience from Assetto Corsa, have been modeling some stuff, looking forward for modding possibilities of DayZ. Would really love to participate in modding something as described above. I'm not sure if there ever has been game type like that, it would be awesome.

And what would be "unrealistic" base building ? How it would be different from regular base building ?

I speculate that bases will need completely new game mode, otherwise only few greater player groups will make use of them. And at the end of the day game will be worth playing only if you'll have a bunch of your friends with you, being lonewolf already feels pointless. LIRIK once said in a stream while doing pvp in old NOVO map: "It is F***ING 10/10 map", and then he said "Who the F**K plays DayZ alone" :D Wise guy. And novo is not 10/10 anymore and everybody are playing alone lol. However, I might be wrong about NOVO, nothing really happens there, so hard to say.

Thats the reality, man. Sooo you say, that it is not worth to spend time to build a base.

Would be cool if you had to have real life construction engineering knowledge and do proper calculations and designs in order to build strong structures, I would be really happy to spend hours calculating if 100x150x5000 wooden beam will bear the loads, or I should have to choose 120x180x5000 beam for more strength. Maybe 5meter span is too big, and I should make 4meters span, - hold on, where are my eurocodes... Hardest part would be calculating loads, and then quitting DayZ to launch STAAD to check stresses in elements. Next question would be how to lift 100x150x5000 beam into designed place, if we would assume that wood materials we have aren't soaked wet, and density is 600kg for cubic meter, then it would weight 75kg. I assume it would be difficult to lift alone and fix in difficult location. Then we should impregnate it (or before lifting to projected location). Then imagine you would like to build a structure under ground, oh my.... really difficult calculations, you have to know each layer of the ground, and their properties, you have to ensure ventilation.... If you want a realistic game of course lol

Wasn't it supposed to be the opposite - increased ?

Wouldn't say that it is entirely different from PUB. I'm rather bad at PVP, maybe because of my low skill PVP feels very similar, I hope to have good practice in PUB, master basics and then step forward in DayZ. Perhaps I would agree that CS pvp is very different.

Will bases be somehow attached to the playtime, or you'll actually have to protect it 24/24 seven days per week ? This will result in people doing ridiculous things, like forming 24h active squads protecting bases full time lol I once had two barrels with nice loot hidden in some ruins, they were never spotted in a week somehow. I think thats only base worth building haha Maybe bases would benefit in some specific gameplay modes which would potentially come to DayZ one day. Or as a mods if possible. I would love to have defined teams in DayZ, actual possibility to choose what you are playing for and building/protecting bases of heroes or bandits. Wouldn't it make sense ? Wasn't there mod like that in DayZ mod ?

Facebook is internet concentration camp of people who has no idea how to use internet. There are some normal people too, but they knows other internet places too lol They will be playing 0.63, and act like they never did hate.

There could be 100 ways how to use it. But if noooooooooone will haveoooone, then noooooone will hear anyoooone, and then noooone will ever useoooone as global chat alternative. It could be just an option how to get more action if you aren't actually happy about runing for hours alone around the map without any idea where you actually should go. It also could lead to some funky server events and stuff... Thats why it has to be default item and easy to use, easy to use at least at the beginning to increase chance of players getting used to it. Anyone remember when there were radios playing music in DayZ in one of the experimental builds, it was pretty cool, wasn't it. It could be set on walkie talkie waves, couldn't it ?

Get ready for brutality of two-three full servers max of DayZ SA for the rest of eternity then. This is how your DayZ player controls should be like, that would be brutal: http://www.foddy.net/Athletics.html

DayZ is bad choice of "getting good in PVP", you should be good in PVP already before even purchasing DayZ. It is bad game to practice pvp. First of all, because you shouldn't start fights as soon as you meet someone. We have all those KOS because people want to start PVP asap without even experiencing any real interactions. Secondly, interactions and engagements are really rare, and if you want proper intense epic battles you have to run to military zones and it can't be done in a few minutes. You are going to die a lot of times, unless you are genius and your learning slope is really steep and you have talent. If not, then be prepared to run to military zones, looting and then being shot hundred times before you stop being killed by first or second engagement. If you are lonewolf, then be prepared to get engaged into fights against two players at the same time quite often. Play Counter Strike or PUB to learn things quicker. And then make a step higher with DayZ.

Maybe he wanted you to spawn in better place lol Honestly you were just unlucky, but it is really hard to get lucky in DayZ at the moment. KOS is like a virus and spread out really strongly. Go to "Role Play" servers.

Yeah I see, it has guaranteed action, and there is no way you'll spend a hour without any action, even if you'll try. It comes from DayZ modder, and heavily inspired by "Suvivor GameZ". From wiki: "Greene also was inspired by an online competition for DayZ called Survivor GameZ". I have watched Survivor GameZ once via Twitch, and it was intense ! I always though WHY THE HELL THAT CONCEPT is not exploited in DayZ properly. I think it is going to be. So it basically have originated from DayZ. There is no way DayZ will not be able to have the same fun and more concepts possible to create and use. I think DayZ will always have more soul than any other survival game.

You can buy it now, learn game mechanics and how to stay alive in a couple of days. Run to Berezino, Stary Sobor, Zelenogorsk and hope to meet someone, probably get shot, attacked by wolves, enter "RolePlay" servers, where less people hiding in a bushes and actually doing something. Don't hide in a bush, do something. And then stop playing and wait till gameplay will receive massive improvements in next patches, and keep in mind that it has "right" not to be super awesome while it is still in early access (even though I think it could be easily super awesome all the time and it is just management decisions).

I wouldn't buy it now. But if you have always wanted it then buy it. Dayz has been more entertaining to play in some earlier patches, even though tech side is much better now. I'd buy it when people will start buzzing about it being awesome again. I'd buy PUB now, and jump in DayZ later.

Younger people only knows Phasebook, I mean FaceBook. They don't know that true beauty of internet are real specific forums, and their communities. I have been witnessing this that most forums members are a little bit older. In short younger generation is very limited with their internet places - facebook, youtube...

I wish the game will be so good for everybody, so there would be minimal amount of wishlists. I think it is going to have multiple ways how to play it. I wish things will not be over complicated, or too arcade, essentially will be realistic, but will have spicy and fun flowing gameplay with a lot of options.
