Yeah but the key is that XP is not supported anymore so when new security flaws appears there won't be anyone to fix them.

In all honesty they should switch to OpenGL and be done with all this nonsensical DirectX hype.

MY balpark values when i was designing a game with realistic movements was: Forward=100% speed Backward=50% speed Sidesteps=75% speed Sprint: only forward Diagonal steps: speed clamped to the slowest limit (75% for forward sidesteps, 50% for backward sidesteps). Strafing is to get in and out of cover, peeking and so on, it's somewhat useful for melee combat but not at the degree of "circling around" that occurs in most fps games. In the real world, "serpentine" maneuvers do not work.

I'll just link some wisdom. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Universal_Plug_and_Play#Problems_with_UPnP

With a life expectancy < 40 years.

Ever heard of a thing called "term of service" ? You break it, you lose your server.

Game is not finished.

Sounds a bit like social justice warrior, but good job still.

I don't mind modding, i really don't but there is this constant, nagging group in every game that absolutely want to turn their favorite game into something else (sometimes no matter how far it is from the original game). And they insist that the devs of their favorite game have to pave the way for it. When i think modding in general, I'm thinking about UT2K3 mutators, tweaks to the core formula essentially. The work involved in total conversion mods is nothing short of amazing but one might wonder, "why did you pick that game in the first place if you are going to paint over it entirely?", today we have massively powerful game engines that even a child can use them to make something of their own (I'm looking at Unity3D here).

Go tell to a painter that you need more ways to transform his work :)

The thing people seems to draw conclusions of is that "eating human flesh is wrong, you get sick! science prove it!" The reality is that humans, like animals, carry diseases. Eating a human that is victim of Kuru will transmit it, obviously. But the mere act of eating human flesh doesn't cause the parasite to spontaneously appear like a godly punishment, it just happen to infect cannibalistic populations who will eat the brain of their deceased. Obviously the idea of unpunished cannibalism was bothering one of the designers or they did it to make this food source mostly useless unless you are desperate or stupid.

Well, mostly you given the situation.

Have you considered that maybe you are not supposed to fight them unarmed?

Excepted it's not going back down at the end of the sale.

To clarify myself, you don't just rip out features from games left and right, bolt it all together and have it all magically work. This kind of cluelessness makes me sad, and angry at the same time.

Probably most of the considered "top tier" guns rarely end up de-spawning.

They are infected tho, not zombies

Right now we have two very unrealistic elements to the game that need some balancing: + Players respawn, always. + Loot respawn, always. Balancing act: - Dead bodies disappear after a while (and don't tell me this is not needed). - Players can remove items from the game in some way. Just because it isn't realistic doesn't mean it's bad, respawning players and loot is not realistic at all, but everyone is fine with it because that's the limitations of a game.

Sometimes i want to punch people repeatedly until they stop moving, not from rage or anger, but from sadness...

I don't know what's the deal with people and knives, maybe too many movies. If you manage to sneak on someone you SHOOT HIM DEAD. You do not pull out your knife. The only time you'll pull out your knife is when it's the last thing you have.

Yeah a lot of people had this idea before (even game designers) but they ditched it for being too much of a mess.

lagged O_o

Because if after moaning and whining you STILL end up paying, it was clearly not overpriced. Prices will be as high as your target audience is willing to pay when in an ecosystem without competition. I fully support the DayZ dev team giving a price advantage to the public hive since this IS what DayZ was designed to be, private servers being what people "force" them to do.

It's sort of a variant on the tragedy of the commons, the "pure" version of the game cannot survive if there is a mod catering better to the majority to siphon players away.
