Imo the 3d models and the things the art team do are one of the best things about dayz at the moment. They may not be the best weapon models ever but they fit the enviroment, you cant just go putting fancy looking crisis models onto the rv engine it wouldn't work, they've done an excellent job making everything fit not like say some arma mod models that look to good for the world its in. I don't think they have been working on the AKM for 10 days, your just being a dick saying that. Do you not think they are also working on other items like clothing, new world objects and probably stuff we haven't seen yet. I mean there also making the svd, mp5, P1 and I think an AK74 aswell.And to the topic at hand the game is currently incomplete and in testing they will do a lot of crazy things that don't make sense. I think the spawns have been put there for a reason to encourage melee and cqb seeing as they have been working on it maybe.

Pretty sure this is already planned to be a thing guys, house fireplaces at least. Edit: swear I read this somewhere but I cant find any trace of the source anywhere. A dream maybe..

I thought about this sort of thing the other day, Originally I was against the idea but after playing project zomboid I started to like the idea of choosing your characters pre-apocalypse occupation. Things like maybe he was a doctor or a hunter and having some benefits fitting to there previous life, I mean take the doctor for example, say you become injured and your not a doctor and you need one to overcome it. You come across somebody and they could be a doctor you don't know for sure but maybe you could detain them and find out, and they either willingly or you force them to help you. I think that could add a lot of value to life.

Its not an excuse its a fact, its an alpha we are the ones supposed to be testing it. A game with nothing to do but PvP? Its not technically a game yet its an alpha, and how do you expect them to implement more things to do if they prioritise tiny bugs like this? They have more important things to be concentrating on, I currently use the mosin and LRS in game and managed to play perfectly fine all day so how is it game breaking?Also because there is an experimental branch it doesn't mean stable will be bug free, im guessing its more for finding game breaking bugs and more severe problems. Either way the devs know about it, its up to them when they see fit to fix it. If you cant handle this then don't take part in an alpha. Edit: many posts beat me to it, I type to slow on this damn phone.

I've survived it, quite easily actually.

What about when/if ragdolls implemented though, did you watch the linked arma 3 vids? It doesn't look slow and clunky to me and Id much prefer it over a spot of red stuff followed by the guy running away after 5 shots. Love the idea, its perfect imo. And if they could do organ hit boxes it would add so much to the health system along with permanent effects from injuries maybe.

Yea the blood squirting is pretty laughable at times and I hope more time is spent on it, things such as getting hit by a zombie shouldnt turn me into a sprinkler. Id prefer your cloths turning red in the area you got hit too maybe until you replaced them or possibly wash them (stand over water, right click clothing, wash) then maybe dry them over a fire too. The more you bled the more blood on your clothing until you bandage. Also leaving trails of blood on the floor and bloody rags youve used. It all adds to the immersion, you could even follow blood trails not knowing what you could find at the end. And yea zombies eating corpses is a must, make it difficult to get the gear and you need to get it before the good stuff gets damaged or eaten.

Oh my god! Somebody who listens lol your a rare specimen these days. Its a HUGE job and will take a lot of work which is why they have another team working purely on ai pathfinding for zeds and animals. Ive played around with navmeshes before and it can be an absolute nightmare.

Fuck that lol I love the wilderness I'm actually worried there wont be enough left once they've finished the map. They need to get some wolves and bears in there to liven things up a bit though

Not everybody shoots on sight, I see many people and unless there in my shit ill normally let them be on there way and stay out of sight, and quite often judge people by what there character wears. I like to think that maybe many people notice you but just stay out of sight and let you be, and that it seems we only come across kos because they are shooting at us. Nothing against kos personally it keeps the game interesting but I stopped doing it on the SA to try a more neutral approach.

Thats why they have a separate dev team working on it, its just a matter of time. Would really love an abandoned theme park nothing huge, maybe there was a special event or something when shit hit the fan. Im pretty sure there would be children in a place like chernarus who would want entertainment. Would like to see more variety in shops maybe a large supermarket, because once you've looted one store you've looted them all.

The ragdoll should help with player movement and such, right? Maybe also the gore but im really not sure about the technicalities of ragdoll. More gore would be nice though eventually and there deffinatly needs to be more bodies around the place. Maybe you loot a house and theres a dead couple lying on the bed, brains up the wall and a lootable pistol in hand. Something to drive the whole apocalypse feeling.Don't remember which mod but I took a trip to green mountain and there was corpses hanging off the tower. Was pretty creepy.

Running away when shit hits the fan is fine, atleast one of you is still alive. Of course it all depends on the situation, did you know where the shots came from, how many people or did you have enough cover to make a stand. Sometimes you know your not gonna win, and if you get the chance to bug out you should take it. Thats the understanding between me and my friends anyway.

I haven't played for a month now, does it mean I'm dissatisfied with the progress? Not at all I love the game but I have something called patience and understand it takes time to create a game, I got a little bored after 300h and did I come stamping my feet to the forums moaning? Nope, I looked at what they had planned and decided to do something else until it develops more. Its exactly what I do with the many other early access games I'm playing. I UNDERSTAND THIS ISNT A FEATURE COMPLETE GAME, AND DONT PLAY IT LIKE ONE.

Wow congrats... Better pull your fingers out though, theres gonna be a lot of whiny backseat devs who obviously know more about your engine than you do in that 2million. Edit: lol 2 whiny posts before id even finished typing..

I agree with most comments so far that weapon attachments should not effect the accuracy, because to me its to gamey. Im fine with them effect sway and maybe recoil but as it is at the moment pretty much forces me to pickup the magpul parts else my m4 would not be at its potential. And if I'm in a gunfight why would the guy with magpul parts have better chance of hitting me because he has magic stock. I think they should keep attachments as mainly a cosmetic item for the gun, maybe I prefer magpul over standard or maybe I prefer the standard look. The only thing I won't to see effecting the rifles accuracy is its condition and even then Id prefer jamming and misfires. Not sure what the effect of foregrips could be because its mostly whatever's most comfortable to the shooter. I know some games make it faster to raise your rifle to iron sights but again is to gamey. Really hope they don't continue the way they are currently going with attachments, because I really hate it. I like attachments and variety but not being forced to take one over the other.

It wont die because of H1Z1, I'm not going to take anything away from H1 because I haven't played it (recent stream looked pretty good though) but I think there will be major differences between the two that will cater to different people. Dayz I think will be much deeper and more hardcore with detailed health and disease systems and stamina compared to H1Z1 which they said in stream probably wont have limb damage and looks like you just heal with med kits like typical games. Also the style and settings are pretty different for example some like myself prefer the russian setting over yet another american setting. Breaking point and 2017 are just mods which will have there limits, and can not be compared to creating a game from scratch. Personally ill give both games ago but I already prefer Dayz, Theres still a LOT of time for improvement and content. On a side note the RV engine is extremely impressive and anyone who says otherwise is talking utter shit. Sure it has its issues as does the Forgelight engine both are impressive though and have there own strengths. Oh and I cannot fucking wait for The forest.

So much hate these days its depressing. Why can't people keep the ignorant opinions to themselves. And people wonder why the devs hardly visit the forums anymore and keep to themselves. Well maybe its because this place is becoming a cesspit of immature, self centred and hateful people who do nothing but post bitchy bullshit.

And these issues cant be worked around why? I could answer no to everything in that list and still see this being implemented and working efficiently.

No, no fetish at all I can just distinguish the difference between real poo and not real poo. I also understand that if somebody craps on me in a video game that its not real and has no effect on me. I like the survival aspect of the game and think that it could add to the game. Your character eats and drinks so why not crap and urinate, in a survival situation what you eat can be crucial to your health. What happens when you eat something bad in real life? Maybe food poisoning making you vomit and giving you diarrhoea which in turn dehydrates you, makes you feel weak which when/if a stamina system is added effects how far/fast you can run. Also other illnesses such as dysentery due to infections. Hell maybe we could even track people and animals via there droppings, maybe even check if its still warm. There are a lot of possibilities but you know people might poo on my avatar ewww! People abuse everything e.g 3rd person but I bet plenty of people would argue we don't remove that feature. Also seen that video, never again.. I think if it is done properly that it could work with minimal trolling, maybe make it so you can't do it within a certain distance of someone (for privacy's sake) in rl you wouldn't just squat in full view maybe they could put a boundary on it to simulate this, also not be able to pick it up and sling it around.

Nah I'm against street lights 100% was kinda bummed out when I saw a couple on in standalone. It would ruin the atmosphere for me as the town just don't look right at all lit up when the apocalypse is happening, I remember my first trip to cherno in the mod in complete darkness, we arrived and could just make out the towering industrial area when a flare lit the area up. Looked epic. I personally love the night time unless you literally cant see a thing, I think there should be a limit to how dark it gets not related to realism else people will just exploit the gamma. They also need to fix that light shining through walls, add chem lights and flares and I would also like them to add lighters or be able to use matches for soft light sources. And definitely red filters.

What? And you would roll in poo why? Just run away and take the bullet don't give them the satisfaction. This whole kids/douches will abuse it argument is nonsense, how do you find yourselves restrained by children/douche bags so much? as soon as I hear there squeaky voices I pull the trigger or stay fuck away. Why should everybody suffer because of what certain idiots do, hopefully when the survival aspect is upped we might lose a few children anyway especially with H1Z1 on the horizon. The better argument for me is that there's plenty of features that should take priority over this, its not something we need in the game asap. If it adds to the experience I'm all for it but we don't know till we try it. And why is everybody assuming it can be force fed? I find it unlikely that they would allow us to pick it up as an item. And can player abuse get any worse then murdering each other and shit talking down the mic, oh no virtual poo!

I wanted a tracksuit...

Yea they havent promised anything, In fact the only thing they have promised is that the alpha will be buggy and broken (as expected) but certain types choose to ignore that fact. The dev team set an ETA and when it doesnt happen people complain that they promised... The road map for example is a rough plan of what's to come its not the devs saying we promise this will be done by Q3, but some people will see it like that because of a lack of knowledge on game development. This isnt really aimed at any individual but the amount of entitled ass hats that reply to updates and tweets with "WHERES VEHICLES" or "FIX YOUR GAME" are the ones that need to calm down.

I voted yes but I kind of agree with both sides here, I think it would add a new level to survival if done tastefully as in you cant play with it or force feed it or throw it around. It would work perfectly fine if everybody played the game like I do (survivalist) but then I remember what happened with the barbed wire in the mod... griefers everywhere and I don't really want to see shit everywhere I loot . Maybe when (if) the game has evolved into more than a kos griefing sim this feature could work well we don't know unless its tested. Saying you don't want little kids crapping on you before they kill you confuses me slightly, I mean how often do you get killed by little kids for this to become a huge problem. The other day I was brutally murdered in a barracks by a shotgun wielding madman who kneecapped me and called me every name under the sun before axing me to death, I was a little disturbed but it doesn't happen every 10mins of play time, not if you avoid death anyway. Either way its far to early for this feature to be discussed or implemented imo there's much more important things that should be worked on, and I wont be impressed if its added to the next exp build. They have enough shit on there hands as it is.
