Just trying to fit in with the crowd, brah. No, my complaint is that it's a shitty fucking mechanic. It's stable enough, it's just plain shit, mate. I laugh at how so many people seem to think that "alpha" automatically means "broken as fuck". There is a difference between something not working right, and just plain being a bad idea. No amount of beta ceta delta gamma hard-on is going to fix that. Serious? Wow thanks man I had no IDEA what the point of an alpha was. I haven't made like, 50 games before, or anything. Maybe I should get private lessons on how it all works, from you. Nope. Sounds great. What does this have to do with anything? Do you even know how long it takes to write an engine from scratch? Are you prepared to put up with the current state of the hackers, when Rocket admits the only real way to deal with them is to let us run private servers? Facepalm. The HIVE has nothing to do with "losing progress". Data will still work the same way, especially if you join a private HIVE not a private standalone. Point being, it will fix hackers, server hoppers, and slow ass FUCK loading times. Do you see now? Probably not... since your defending something that even Rocket see's is a potentially massive problem now. WRONG. When you are recording data for say, a drag car... seeing how "fast" it can go.... when it has 4 flat wheels and is being fueled by sugar water... your data is going to be pretty god damn inaccruate. If you think that the game will be any different to that, you're an idiot and shouldn't be posting.

If it's turned off, then you can't do anything about it. ~Sol

But but but, we have to collect a bunch of useless data for our "vision", and remove convenience from the game... after all this is an anti-game and it's "supposed to be broken", not fun, unfair, and full of shit. We also like to encourage poor behaviour and refuse to fix any of the current bugs (except the ones we find the least game breaking).... oh and yeah, glad you like the loading screen. Neat huh? ~Sol

They are buggy as fuck. It MIGHT come back after the next restart, since there is sometimes another bug all together that won't put tents or vehicles back in the right place until a second (or sometimes 5th restart). ~Sol

I can swear as much as I like, it adds expression. FYI I'm not 60, the internet has been in public circulation since the early to mid 90's. I was using BBS before that. I'm 33 years old. And please explain to me how I'm wrong about what I said? Just because the interface is non personal, doesn't mean the person you are fucking with isn't real, and that it doesn't have real implications. Do you think doing that shit over the telephone is fine? I'd really like to know why you seem to think that anonymity relieves you of any responsibility over making someone feel like shit, by behaving like a complete fuckwit? Lastly, I don't give a shit if you love or hate my "signing"... it's an obsession either way, which means you think about me, which means I win. It's a massively long term habit that cam about when my name was much longer and harder to spell, and Sol was my shortened "easier for noobfags" to spell. It's just stuck there... Also, Yann... you must be FRENCH. I FIND THAT HILARIOUS. Your last name isn't Granjon by chance is it? ~Sol

Sexy and appealing at first glance... but as soon as you go balls deep you realise the shit you smelled earlier was coming from within. ~Sol

Pity it will be shot down by a bunch of flaming douchenozzles... ~Sol

And therein lies the problem with trying to make a game "realistic". If you want people to BEHAVE realistically, it sadly has to be artifically controlled since kids these days seem to think it's perfectly OK to be a total CUNT to people they aren't standing face to face with. You don't seem to understand that, there is still a real person on the receiving end of your "boredom" and the implications of such behaviour has the same impact as spitting in their face. I don't expect you to understand though... I was around way before the internet, so this "it's just the internet" bullshit is exactly that.... bullshit. ~Sol

Where did I say I don't know what the Tranquility server is? Why do you ASSUME this? This has never been said ANYWHERE. I understand what it is and how it works... you're just being a narrow minded dipshit. I challenge you to show me where I said I didn't understand how it works or what it is... Also, I can write whatever the hell I please at the start, middle, or end of my posts... the same as you are perfectly entitled to be an elitist dickbag. ~Sol

Play it like a dickhead/cuntbag, and of course it will seem like nothing new. Why don't you try that shit in real life and see what happens? ~Sol

Next time, you'll know to pump your entire mag into the windscreen. Remember though, Russians drive on the right (not correct) side of the road, so aim for the right portion of the windscreen when it's barreling towards you. :) ~Sol

Oh you mean like, how real life works... ok... I wasn't aware Minecraft was the godfather of CIVILisation. @OP I've played more games than days you've been alive most likely. I am the definition of a gamer... I'm not specifically a GOOD gamer by any means (though I have my moments of sheer awesomesauce, like most of us do). I came from pinball... like the old mechanical ones. My first digital game experience was tic-tac-toe on the C64, and PONG on the ATARI. Since then I have visited all game types from FPS to RTS to RPG to MMO to action platformer, to driving, to.... well, you name it. DayZ is very loosely following a gaming principal I myself have been actively working to achieve for the last several months (since October last year) though the idea has been in my head for over 10 years. The whole sandbox thing is appealing, but a sandbox without boundaries even more-so. ~Sol

This. Basically if they look like a burned out and rusted shell, they aren't fixable... if they look like a mostly intact vehicle and you an get inside of it, then it's fixable. Once you find the parts needed, and have them in your inventory (not your backpack) an option will appear when you look at the car to repair the broken thing. Broken stuff shows up red, while moderately damaged stuff, or stuff that's completely fine, shows up green. Hope this helps. ~Sol

Yeah, zombies go back to being "idle" as soon as they lose direct line of sight. Run and duck around a few buildings or fence lines and you will lose them quick-smart. ~Sol

Please tell me more about me, and how you know me so well. I'd love to hear it since I'm quite the attention whore and all that. Also, if you provide links to all the other "turn off the HIVE" threads, I will gladly have a moderator remove this one, or merge it with the other one. If you can't find one, then you have to suck my left nut until further notice. Whoahahaha wow man SO COOL. YOU ARE GENIUS! ~Sol ~Sol ~Sol ~Sol ~Sol

Clearly on an very under populated server. Try that on a 50 player sausagefest and see where you end up. I bet you don't get within 500m of the city limits without being sniped by some "fully sick leet CoD dood" hiding in the bushes 1km away. ~Sol

Nobody is forcing you at gunpoint to press buttons on your keyboard for the sake of saying something irrelevant to the thread. If you don't like something, at least get all of the facts (usually by reading the ENTIRE thread... this IS a forum after all) before you wobble your gob and make silly comments. It's perfectly find to have an opinion on the subject... as long as it's not completely against hard facts. Example: The sky is blue, no matter what you fucking say... your "opinion" can be that the sky is dark-mauve-periwinkle... that doesn't make you right or even validate your "opinion". Catch my drift? ~Sol

Dude, if you're happy to play on broken-ass-hacker-infested public servers then be my fucking guest. If it somehow makes you more "legit" then, whatever. I'm all for this HIVE shit once they have the basic game mechanics under control. I can't belive this HIVE thing is even a consideration at this fetal stage of development since it is causing utter anarchy. ~Sol

I ran between Kamanka and Vybor twice, looking in EVERY SINGLE spawn point that spawns engine parts and wheels... and found sweet FUCK ALL. I'm not retarded, but thanks for the advice. ~Sol

If there is a tank on a chunk of concrete like a statue, it's Cherno... to your east will be Elektro, and you your west, Balota. ~Sol

Signs of extremely high intelligence and debating skills! Mcdonalds here you come :D I never said it wasn't a good idea for the future... it's clearly a fucking massive problem now unless you've been living under a rock for the last several of weeks especially. Cool story bro. You don;t have to come into a thread, not read anything, then post like a troll. We can already see that from your post history. It's not for nothing. If you don't care, then get the fuck out of my thread and stop shitting in it? If you can withstand several more MONTHS of this bullshit happeneing non-fucking stop then bravo to you.... did you want a medal or a chest to pin it on? ~Sol

Hey dickhead, guess you didn't read the post right before that piece of shit you just made eh? Bet you look like a douchebag now ;) *EDIT* Keep pretending you understand my motivation. It destroys any credibility you might have because there is no way known to fuck you can possibly know my thinking pattern, reasoning, or motivation. ~Sol

How are engine parts the easiest thing in the game to find? They are in the bottom 3-5% of loot spawns, far less than generic loot and even some guns and ammunition. I've spent 5 hours looking for engine parts and wheels in the past only to find 3 scrap metal and a bunch of glass I didn't need... oh and two heli rotors. ~Sol

This. Sometimes if the body is laying on it's back (on top of the backpack) it can cause problems too... sometimes just getting the right distance and angle from the body can help. Sweep your mouse around it a lot and try moving closer/further away and circling the body, while zooming in and out. You'll find the "sweet spot" eventually.... in before THAT'S WHAT SHE SAID! ~Sol

Yea, you probably should have read the thread... ~Sol
