I liked the ammo the way it was in 1.7. Haven't found a single unit of ammo since the new patch.

Where is ANYTHING in this game anymore. I've found one gun and one hatchet after playing for hours yesterday. No beans/food, no soda, no nothing.

I'm gonna wait and see how .5 is since it's supposed to fix or change stuff back but I may not be far off.

I'm supposed to adapt to being swarmed instantly?

Spawning period is broken. Now with zombies being stupid cheap, I've been swarmed/killed the second I spawn. It's ridiculous.

.5 is out now?

Right, it's a mod right now. That apperently isn't the final goal. It's a mod just while they're working on it in the alpha/beta stages. Eventually it's not going to be a mod anymore. Supposedly. They didn't pull him off the arma 2 staff and give him his own team to work on something that isn't going to generate them money.

Who said they're trying to do that? Have you read anything at all about their plans for this game? Rocket said at E3 that they're currently working on making Dayz a stand alone, retail game. Much like what happened with Portal and Counterstrike. Don't believe me, they had a whole report on it over at gametrailers.

Of course there's some. You creating this thread shows that. My point is it's not a viable business model for something they're trying to take from a random mod to a retail game (series?). Great games should have a myriad of emotions but the sum of their parts should equate to fun. It doesn't take a business genius to know that most people won't spend money on a game/passtime where the goal is to not be/have fun. And the very idea of even allowing you experience the game anymore for that day once you day makes even less sense.

Sorry, I just find the notion that this game isn't supposed to be fun one of the most absurd things I've ever heard. That's a complete contraction to the very point of a game and basic business 101 to try and make your product not-enjoyable.

It's not supposed to be fun. Try reading a few things the designer has to say before going off on other people about their grasp of the concepts. This game...isn't supposed to be fun? Really? If it wasn't fun and wasn't supposed to be fun, nobody would be playing it. Why would you spend your free time playing something that isn't fun?

That might be the DUMBEST videogame idea I've ever heard. Seriously.

Again' date=' if it's more immersive to you, then turn it off and let the vast majority who prefer it, use it. [/quote'] I would turn it off, I like it better without. Which is the whole point. Global chat should be in with a way to turn it off if you don't like it. Just taking it out completely is BS.

Again, if it's more immersive to you, then turn it off and let the vast majority who prefer it, use it.

your a fool if people dont want side chat a option should be there to remove it for that player not the whole server most players enjoy global chat and will leave it on And you call him the fool...what you just explained is called unfair advantage...if the way you just stated was implemented then no one would want to have it off since they know others would have it on. Then that's your choice. If you don't like chat, you probably want the disadvantage to begin with if you want the game to be that hardcore.

your a fool if people dont want side chat a option should be there to remove it for that player not the whole server most players enjoy global chat and will leave it on Exactly. If someone wants to go super hardcore and doesn't want chat, then just let them turn it off. Let the rest of us who aren't anti-social still have global chat.

It's not just for help. It's fun, you know, actually chatting with people. It was enjoyable talking about what's going on, how you just died, how you killed a bandit, etc. Global chat was a nice bit of MMO in this game and now it's gone.

Global chat is a must, IMO. The social aspect of the game was a blast. Now it's gone.

How does side chat work? I've never gotten a response when using it.

Just respawn.
