Music (DayZ)

thats a prerequisite to play the game though, so it should just be assumed. im not making this up it says so right here http://i.imgur.com/6I25p.png

that's just ridiculous my friend, hear me out. players respawn until they get the spawn they want, that's not hacking its a part of the game. they don't spawn with any gear they just run straight back to their body, or your guys' bodies when you had taken the gear from their dead bodies, and on and on. again, thats just a part of the game. it was fun, we had fun with you guys. i myself did not get to fire any shots unfortunately, i stayed out of the melee, preferring to stay in the hills and pick one of you guys off if i ever had a chance unfortunately one never materialized :( hopefully our squads meet up again in the future and maybe ill be on the front line next time :)

Zombies are stupid. Their behavior is erratic. They can walk and attack through walls. 1.6.0.1 remains the glory days of zombie DayZ. New players spawned with a gun so zombies never losing aggro was not a problem. Their behavior was at least predictable. There were times when stealth payed off. The next few updates up till now have made zombies an impossible obstacle for noobs, and a non factor for vets. They were made simultaneously easier and less fun. You only ever engage zombies if you actually want to. Otherwise you just run into the nearest building and lose them. It's just so 'derp' if you will. It's ok, but it's derp.

Vehicles have limited tacticool uses. Picking someone up on the coast for fast reinforcements. Using them for fast flanking. The vast majority of the time, however, they are more trouble than they are worth.

pretty sure its people respawning instantly over and over again trying to find the spawn they want. that plays hell with the average im sure.

[New]You can collect scalps from dead player bodies with a hunting knife. The scalp goes into a toolbelt slot and stacks to infinity [New]If you kill a player with scalps in their inventory and you do not take their scalp you get some other kind of reward, a good guy reward, (i don't really know what it could be, something cool and cosmetic would i think be enough) [Fixed] Debug monitor no longer shows murder count or bandit kill count [Fixed] Heart beat monitor has been removed ok i just thought of this. for every person you kill with scalps you grow bigger and bigger beard until its full on grizzly adams. and if you scalp someone the beard goes away for the duration of the life. lifelong bandit here but if you told me i could grow a full on grizzly adams beard i would consider changing my ways

you're making it too complicated my friend. here's the bottom line. people just want to come home from a hard day's work and shoot their imaginary gun at things. don't make it harder than it has to be for us to do this.

Some people just want to come home from a hard day's work and point their imaginary gun at things and shoot them. I don't think it should be made that much harder for them to do so.

I think it is you who needs to relax friend. It seems you reply to every post in every thread. Perhaps you could use a break.

i liked when the axe was added as a tool and the new feature was added to make a fireplace. i did not like when a ton of new 'features' were added, too many to keep track of, and the game was completely broken forever and for all time.

Rocket, listen to me. Man up, and admit you made a mistake. Rollback to 1.7.0 which was just fine. Maybe there is something salvageable from 1.7.1 but we'll never know if we keep going forward from here. Rollback and just change one or two things at a time, and if then if the game gets broken, you'll have a much better idea of what it is. I feel like maybe you went for a home run with this last set of patches but you ended up striking out. And give noobs their starting pistol back. I had been in teamspeak all day with new guys who were just so excited about playing the game only to get aggroed by a zombie and just hearing the deflation in their voices it was so demoralizing. Like they had been neutered. I will never recommend to someone they start playing this game, a shooter game, if that is going to be their first experience, i just won't.
