Vigil Vindex

So many people asking about this map as if it is new. Devs are even posting screenshots lol. Livonia has been out on Arma 3 for months. The map was created for Arma 3, it has been sold for Arma 3, and now we are being told to buy it again for DayZ. The problem being this isn't like Chernarus, a map that was made for Arma 2 and updated for DayZ and restricted from being ported to Arma 3. Now we have a map designed for Arma 3 being ported to DayZ. It makes me wonder just how much work is being done once then charged for twice.

So will I have to pay again for Livonia in DayZ after already purchasing that content for Arma 3?

What an embarrassment! Announcing DLC while also announcing cuts to previously promised content. Then pathetic claims that the medical system is too complex to describe? How about writing a manual if it's that hard to understand?

To be fair, there is not much in the game to tell you what is possible in terms of crafting and combining.

Had a gun on my back and a gun in my hands. Lost connection to the server. When I logged back in both guns had disappeared. I was hoping this sort of thing would never be a problem after all the time and work gone into the game. But stuff like this just makes me feel like, what is the point in playing and looting if a disconnect from the server can just delete it?

Why are we not getting a wiki page on the Bohemia site here: https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/Main_Page Every other BI game has space there, so why not DayZ? We really need a wiki to not only start documenting the modding stuff but we also need somewhere to keep track of the gameplay basics. A lot of third party resources are out of date. The quicker we get this in place the quicker we can start contributing to it.

Realistically what do we have left of this year? 3 weeks before everyone goes for their holiday and new year celebrations. Delivering a meaningful update from v0.63 to v1.00 in that time is going to require a crunch of epic proportions. I suspect that the v1.00 release will be a superficial milestone, and I am not sure if it will be worth spending that opportunity to bring a lot of people back to test the v1.00 release in it's current state. I think a lot of people will not be impressed by the fact that from a pure content perspective so much is missing compared to previous versions, despite the impressive work that has been done under the hood.

I've noticed random deaths occurring for no reason. Usually when stood near trees, you end up dead on the floor with full blood. Guaranteed not just some sniper kill from far off. Also died from standing next to a tank trap.

BUGS: Spawning in the debug area i.e. 22km out of the map. Zombies can still hit through walls. Flies can still be heard for bodies that are not there.

1.7.1.5 - Running up a hill with my friend, feeling good with my gillie and m107, next thing I am on the floor, legs broken, -50,000 blood, dead. No zeds, no other players. Broken bones should be nerfed big time. I have broken my leg in real life, the femur bone is the strongest bone in the body. No one can punch you and break your leg, trust me. It took three large rugby players to jump on mine before it broke. If realism is what you want for this game, fix the bones breaking like twigs!

All I see is excuses to this issue, disconnects due to lag spikes? Yeah right. The disconnect exploit is rampant. People have actually developed a 'disconnect reflex' ffs! They are doing this because they know they can get away with it. The 5-10 wait timer doesn't work, plain and simple. Something needs to be done to start deterring people from doing this every fucking time they are challenged in the game. Just to be clear I am talking about disconnecting while in combat. Out of combat I don't really care about disconnecting as it's not an issue.

Sounds like you should be playing Left 4 Dead. Seriously. What good PVP game lets you just disappear in the middle of play? The real griefers are the ones disconnecting whenever they feel challenged, it's cheap, and cowardly, and not what makes DayZ great.

If I die from a bug then so be it, it is an alpha and I can handle that. What I can't handle is a PVP game where every gunfight ends with someone vanishing in front of me when they disconnect. It needs to stop. Death is the only thing that will nip it in the bud and send a clear message to players, this is a PVP game, disconnecting is an exploit and ruins the game.
