ZBA

yes, please add this.. A lot of player dont care about stupid mods, we want stuff on official servers

no, game must be hard, not like another bullshit like scum or rust. I have 0 problem surviving in this patch so its not patch problem but player it is

Around 6 months ago I asked Sumrak (dayz lead dev) about bows and crossbows. He said that it isn't problem to add them into the game, but they have problem with lack of animators / animation for new guns / features and thats the main reason why bow isnt in the game. So I can believe that dayz team had / have big problem with lack of animators to support new patches. It is strange because Bohemia have his own motion capture studio so I wonder why they cannot just get a day to record few new animations for future guns and other actions and later on just clean this mocap?? I am 3d animator who just started my job at game industry, so I really wonder what is the problem in Bohemia with this?

I play only official servers and I can confirm that hackers are huge problem. Especjaly big chinesee groups of hackers that travel around the map and raid every base. I had 3-4 bases in elektro and with around 6-8 gates each. All of them were raided by chinesee hackers.... Only region lock can save us. Eu servers for Eu players etc.

Wait until special snowflakes will say that people can write on them bad stuff and we cannot have them in the game because of that. Get your shit together and stop complaining. People say and write on voice / chat non stop bad stuff and nothing is happening because of it. So when someone will write in paper that he is nazi and hail hitler then deal with it. In the end you can be the cowboy who travel around chernorus, collect "bad" piece of papers and execute bad nazis. Go roleplay.

I dont play moded servers, only vanilla

Hello, I have 2 suggestions. Pets in game: You could use wolf animations to create dogs in game that roam around towns / roads and you can somehow tame it using raw meat, or they can attack you depend on of their status etc. Tame dog can follow you, over time he can be more polite and listen your gestures like sit, stay silent, attack, etc.. I think it's not that hard to do because like 70% of resources for it are already in the game. Only need to add few new animations, one dog model with like 3-4 different skin variants and its should work fine. Also, I would like to see a cat that roam a town, sneak around, jump on different small roofs and other stuff, hunt on small animals like chicken, maybe new birds animals etc. You could also tame a cat with some cat food / raw meat, and he could be like sit inside your backpack or on your shoulder and chill. When there is dangerous situation he jumps off, run away and wait somewhere near until its clear but still follow you from the distance to eventually hop of to your comfy backpack. Second suggestion is high of crouch. When crouching hold button + scroll mouse up and down to regulate your character height during crouch. It would be super useful for combat inside buildings / windows.

Very good. The tears of hoarders make me stronger.

Night must be dark. Go to country side in real world where there is 0 light source, no houses, no lamps, nothing. You will not see anything, even your hands if there are clouds on sky.

Just release Dayz 2 and ignore this old dog shit PS4 and Xbox One consoles

I agree with all of it and I want to add from me another one: Give us more freedom when build a base because now even one single pixel of other model block us from building gate / fence. Its frustrating.

Sorry but 15 gates its nothing to raid for 3-4 people. I build a lot of bases with 6-8 gates and each one of them was raided after few days.

no, thats why I waiting for proper arguments from your side

Any arguments?

People have life and cannot spend every day in dayz. I want to login like 2-3 times in week and still keep my progress without be frustrated because 15yo kid can spend all day in front of game and raid however he want. Thats why we need system that prevent this unfair status quo.

I agree 100%. I play ONLY vanilla / official servers and offline raid is probably the worst mechanic that exist in this game. And dont even try to say "oh this game suppose to be hard so you are weak" please shut the hell up. Hard =/= fun. In "real life zombie apocalypse" you can "always" defend your base because you are almost always around, repairing, scavenging etc. but in game you just disappear from existence and your base stay unprotected. My solution is here: After base owner logout all structures that he build are free to raid in next 48h - in other words after owner logout nothing is diffrent what is now in DayZ. But. After 48h all structures have 100% protection from incoming damage for the next 7 days OR until base owner (or base other base member) will login again. However. If base owner or member wont login, after 7 days of protection base is again free to raid permanently and if base owner want another 7 days of protection he need to login > go offline for 48h > base is again under 7 days protection.

I play only hardcore vanilla dayz and this pokeball thing its funny for me and I have no problem with that.

I over all agree but I dont like door idea. I would prefer to see in game "a half of the wall / gate" In other words please add option to build only HALF of the wall / gate so it would be smaller and nicer for different bases. However. Please reduce collision between base structures and objects on map because its freaking annoying to build on vanilla dayz. I don't say remove collision completely like on moded server because that is even worst and with that you can build x9999 gates into loot room but just improve collisions because sometimes this one pixel makes me crazy when trying to build perfect base.

I like the idea to make zombies harder to kill but the idea of that they can attack you when you attacking them is absurdly stupid... I am player who play only vanilla dayz and fighting with news zombies is uber frustrating. You hit them and thye hit you every fuckin time, you bleed, they destroy your clothes Jesus... Please give us option to stun lock them like it was before. I dont care about more zombie health, just make them stagger when they got hit by any weapon... Also please add mechanic "Go behind zombie > press F on zombie > there is animation when your character grab zombie and kill it silently". I know there is now option to one shot zombie from behind but its not fluid and feels clunky

Its a collision bug between structure you build and rest of the map like buildings or even other walls / watchtowers. You need be really patient if you want build something in dayz because margins of error is small. A lot of time you need to dismantle entire wall and put again fence kit in other "pixel" position. I asked about this problem lead dayz developer - Adam, but he said that they dont want to fix these collisions because players would build 394928437982 gates into loot rooms with best gear. In my opinion its stupid way of thinking because this pixel precision is absurdly stupid.

I'm sad that all of you missing the fact that game as a medium should also reward you as a player to keep you engaging longer. You all want to make traps, more health for walls to be more resistance for damage etc but the core of the gameplay is not this but we as a players are, and we will always find a way to ruin someone base in one day after he builds it in free time for the last 1-2 weeks. If you want healthy-rewarding gameplay bases must be unable to raid when owner is offline as I described in my previous post higher in this topic. Do whatever you want to do with base but only when owner is online and he can protect his stuff. After he go offline the "raid option" is still enabled for next 24h and after that time base goes under 100% protective zone and nobody can destroy it in next 7 days unless owner or base member will login again then protective zone is automaticity disabled. After that time base is again open for raiding and cycle repeat.

I have better idea that connects game and real life balance because a lot of players are adults and dont have time to defend base but in same time they want to build something in free time. When you logout all walls, gates, tower you build are raidable in 48 hours. After 48 hours of being offline all your structures are under 100% protective zone and you cannot destroy them by any weapon in game. This protection status last for next 7 days and after 7 days base is free to raid. (structures again take damage). When you login After 48 hours of being offline then all your structures are also raidable. Its fake system that do not fit into dayz realistic standards but its only system for healthy gameplay when you have job, kids and real life first but in same time you want enjoy your favourite game.

This is the best place to build the base in entire game. Small apartment. I think there are 3 types of these in dayz so remember to always choose the smallest one like on screen. You can build inside around 7-9 gates into main loot room. I won't tell you more because its a lot of writing but its the safest place to build "visible" base in game. Of course the best way to store your loot are creates hidden in bushes or buried under trees but for me doing that is non-climatic

Moded servers sometimes have keys and other strange things. I play only official servers so I'm not 100% sure about private ones. On official server there are no keys and you need to ride: -4 Wheels, -Car battery, -Radiator, (+ water inside it) -Spark plug, -Fuel The exception is a M3S Truck. It only needs Truck battery (its different that car battery), fuel and 4 wheels (truck have 6 wheels total but 2 in front and 2 in back are enough to ride but it rides better with 6). It does not need radiator and spark plug.

Chinese hackers destroyed each and every base on EU HC Official servers. There are tons of ruins across EU servers... 2 of it are mine.. Official servers are absolutely unplayable more than ever before if you want do something more rather than run from place to place and KOS everyone. Region block ffs. EU servers only for EU players, US for US, Asia for Asia..., better anty-cheat, better ping checker
