Shift

Yeah there is little reason for farming items and mechanic to even be in this game at this point. I get it that it needed a nerf, as a pack of tomato seeds, a digging tool, a bottle of water and some knives could get you from zero to fullest food and water by just spending some time (albeit a considerable amount of it) in the woods near a creek. But it got nerfed too much, i think the times that plants took to harvest could have stayed as they were (seeing as everything in DayZ is sped up compared to real life) and the times that they stay ripe before going bad could have stayed, making farming lots for passerby's reasonable, the only thing they should have changed is make it grow a small amount of produce without fertilization and have a large number of plants become sick without disinfectant, as they did, but they shouldnt have touched the rest. And they should have made the greenhouses have plantable spots by default, without the need to create them with a farming tool, as it makes no sense, why would you create planting spots in a greenhouse in the middle of the village where you can get killed any second? Nobody does it, but if the spots were there by default, people passing by would drop seeds in them if they have extra seeds and people passing by would water those seeds if they have spare water, because why not. But nobody would create planting spots there, there's just no reason for it.

What tripwire???

As it is currently, nobody uses the tie-up mechanic in normal servers. There's no point when anyone can wiggle out in seconds and when people can just respawn while tied up. I suggest increasing the time it takes to tie someone up to around 90% of time it takes to regain consciousness and massively increase the time it takes to wiggle out, like 10-15 minutes of IRL time. And with handcuffs the wiggling out should be a chance roll, like when you're fishing. An attempt should take like 60-90 seconds of IRL time and have like a 5% chance of success. Also there should be a way to tie up person's legs too, if the person is in a prone position (either due to being knocked out or voluntarily). And ofcourse the ability to just die and respawn should be disabled so that you can only disconnect with the normal server timeout and when you reconnect you are still tied up. This way people can actually make use of the new combat modification where people get knocked out more often, you could tie someone up (including legs) and be sure that you have at least 10 minutes of time for you to loot him and safely retreat without having to kill the person to make sure he doesnt retaliate immediately.

Maybe the key shouldnt be unique to a certain car but just to a certain model? Like a car would spawn with a key that you can take out and that key would work for any car of that make and model? Kind of like a spark plug but specific to a certain make and model and one you dont have to open the hood and fumble with inventory to take out/put in?

Can we at least have bloody hands become not bloody after like maybe 5-10 minutes in the rain with no gloves?

Yeah i know, but, i mean, its a game. I wouldnt be able to carve a hook out of bones using a stone knife IRL either, i believe. Nor would i be able to install a radiator into a car in 0.1 seconds.

This would be super cool!

In regards to cooking and canned food, i'd love to be able to make your own canned food. Like if you would get an empty tin can after you eat the canned food (or have to option to drain it like the bottle when you look at the ground), and then you put meat, fat and an empty tin can into a cooking pot and cook it on a fire for a long time and it creates canned meat.

What is even the point of this website? I've looked through most of the topics on several pages - most go unansvered, what is even the point if developers or at least support guys dont answer? Is there any other place where you can get an answer from a dev or support guy?

Is there any other way to limit CPU usage by a server? My servers are empty most of the time or have just 1-2 players, yet they load the CPU up to 30% when idling, i'd like to reduce that, but using the apps that limit the CPU usage of certain processes is not an option i guess as i would like my servers to be able to utilize all the available processing power when they actually need it.

Hi, i started a new character on Halloween server, now i cant connect to any server with this character. It is always one of my other characters which loads into game. Also how many characters i can have? When i loaded the game for the first during Halloween event a long time of not playing, i had one of my old charachters and 1 or 2 new characters, i dont remember. I started playing as a new character on the event server and today i couldnt join the even server (obviously), it says "unknown error", so i tried joining other servers, both 1st person and 1st&3rd, all official servers (i have never ever played on unofficial servers), but all the times my other old character loads. The other new character never loads onto any server, i tried joining a game with him during the event and after the event - he never appears in game on any server. And when i tried joining a 1st person server, one of my other old characters loaded up, which i even forgot about at all, and now i have 4 characters in character selection - one of my old characters, my new character that i played on event server with, a new empty character which i cannot get to load on any server, and another old character which popped up after i tried joining a strictly 1st person server. So how do i join any server with the character that i started playing with during the event on the event server? And while i'm at it, why are there no official servers without accelerated time? I dont want to play with accelerated time, but i want to play on an official server.
