You know, i'm sure that, since you're posting on the suggestion forum, you could actually "name" your suggestion. instead of calling it ... suggestion.

There is a very vocal minority that demand loot to spawn in logical places, aka military loot in military places. I can see why they want that, but to me, this just makes things too predictable. If the world was randomly generated why not, cause you would know that you have a chance to find this or that in that kind of building, but in a static world like we have? that's bad.

Yes but the AK keeps on truckin. Who cares about barrel shudder as long as what's down range is dead?

I don't think DayZ was ever a game about "choose the experience you want", more like "deal with whatever the game and the other players toss at you". More money doesn't justify everything.

Well obviously they have to patch that exploit. Because it's not fixed as of today doesn't mean you gotta use it tho.

No this process is fine. Just log out somewhere safe, in a bush away from loot, not right on top of a hot spot. The solution they came up with is the simplest and more egalitarian one that completely eliminate any potential for abuse. I'd say 30 seconds is VERY generous, I'm in favor of 15 minutes, which was the standard on ultima online.

Since humanity's gone from the mod/SA, bandit is just a feel good term, like calling someone a griefer, or a terrorist. I really wish people would drop it.

Here is a question for you to answer then. Why should they spend any development time on a specific version of the game that isn't the one they want to make?

DayZ is "your story", but like real life, in DayZ your character do not exist in a vacuum, the game isn't trying to make you feel like you're a hero, that's something you have to earn for yourself.

It's just a server name.

its actually a pretty good analogy

There is nothing to do to cater to PvE players because this is not what the game is about, they might get their little server flag, but i sure hope that's the extend of the efforts the devs will extend to people who obstinately want the game to be what it isnt.

OP's the guy who felt the need to crosspost in 15 suggestion topics as his first action after registering btw

You ment realistic here. It would be plenty authentic :)

OP this is not griefing. Griefing involve skirting the rules of the game to ruin everyone's fun. This is not the case.

And stop with the cross posting , use the search, most of your ideas have already been suggested!

OP, I agree, loot rotation would tone down a lot of the meta gaming regarding loot maps.

Yeah but this is not a flea market, a good server isn't the "one magazine offered for two looted" kind.

I'll try to be brief. 1. Unlikely, and who did you work for OP (you said collaboration)? 2. They are adding features, as alpha is supposed to be all about. 3. Bohemia isn't exactly a scheming type, but they do support their game for quite a while post release. What Early Access Alpha & Alpha Are Meant To Be Functionality aside, spray cans require a specific kind of support on the engine that might be needed for a group of other features. Releasing An Early Access Alpha To A Wide Public This model has been used by minecraft (only success i can relate to) and a lot of indie games are going this route rather than trying to find a publisher. The main advantage being that you set your own deadlines and you don't have to report to anyone. Also you have no obligation of profit on final release since your budget was essentially already paid for rather than loaned to you. The Developers Talk Console Not much to say, you're not Chris Roberts by any chance? Updates/Not Listening To The Community 1. Because they don't have to, preordering a game doesn't give you a say in it's content and direction, if you decide to fund a game, you where convinced by the pitch, have a little faith or do not fund projects you do not trust. 2. They have probably a year or more ahead of them to make this game, they can certainly delay bugfixing a little. Spray cans might just be the quickest way to get a new engine feature tested by players, who knows. And PR is important. Empty Promises/No Timeline Well some of your points are fishy enough, so you're gonna have to give us the benefit of the doubt on whether you know what you are talking about or not. I don't know what's up with vehicles, considering it's an acquired feature of the RV engine since operation flashpoint, so the only reason i could see is that either the assets are not ready (odd considering any of the old rustpiles of arma 2 would do) or they simply don't want to release this right now for god know what reason (maybe they are doing some vehicle modification thing, how would i know) Crunchtime Bohemia interactive is a czech company, jobs only include max 40 hours of work per week, they can do up to 150 hours of overtime per year overtime has to be paid fully with a 25% bonus or be compensated with time off. Basically it sounds like they did a bunch of overtime and since a lot of time off was due they decided to close the studio for several days to use everyone's time off.

The only way to discourage people from using TS over the ingame voice chat is by making it awesome.

I'm not gonna say i agree with combat logging, but a lot of players come in games with a strictly "play to win" mentality. If a trick will ensure that they do not lose, they will use it, as many time as necessary. Sadly, from a purely logical standpoint, they are right.

there is only 3 lines in my ideal DayZ server configuration file: -name -network interface -port

Thing is you can make loot maps irrelevant, i'm just not sure that the DayZ team want to go that route.

That's the thing, it's NOT polished, it's full of new (and potentially bugged) code, new code that hasn't passed the test of time. It's the same company they probably share code between projects, if there is an arma 3 feature that dean want I'm sure that all he has to do is walk to the next office floor to get it.

i might add that at the present time, doing so violate the server rental agreement.
