Stop playing an alpha game if you cant deal with bugs, fail hotfixes and slow development. Go play something else until the full release. If its still buggy then, then feel free to whine.

The real question is why do so many whiners not understand that this is a game in alpha stage development? Clearly too many people came to DayZ thinking they deserved a fully polished, years of development, full game release. If this is how you feel about games dont play them until you see them in your local game store, seriously if you cant deal with playing a game in development and therebeing bugs, lots of bugs and fail hotfixes then stop playing alpha games.

I appreciate that for you the inability to make use of a mag with less rounds is a significant issue. I am sorry to say but for many others by far the bigger issue is the ability to have INFINITE ammo.... In a game with one of its main dynamics being the scavenging of supplies the ability to have "unlimited" anything is a much bigger issue.

your whole argument is based on YOUR opinion of how to play Dayz or how not to play Dayz. Its an open sandbox for people to play how they wish, the difficulty for most at the moment is that their are those out there who want to play in such a way that is contra to letting the others play as they wish. Its the classic "i want to play in a world where people wont kill each other" vs the "i want play in a world where i am free to kill people" For those who are having difficulty with the shoot-on-sight mentality that has developed you need to really understand that in a situation where people have no consequences for their actions in real life or a game (or at least nothing significant) they will do as they wish however abhor ant you may find it. In this instance maybe DayZ is too realistic in that it correctly allows people to make their own moral decisions outside of any form of punishment or retribution.....

a mod, in alpha, has more players nightly than BF3.... far from dead

try double tapping shift, RMB, strafe. some time they get stuck and stop you running and/or aiming

by the sound of it the earliest there will be ANYTHING of the stand alone will be the end of the year.

how is it an "(unfair) advantage" as you put it? Everyone can do it if they want as its available to all... how is that unfair?

a lot depends on what you are standing on, different surfaces make you more visible. What stance you are in, standing up makes you ALOT more visible and which way the zombie is looking, if they are not looking your way then they wont (or are way less likely) to spot you

i go 4v4 for pistol mags and bandages. (dont bother putting spares in your pack) 1 morphine, 1 blood, 1 canteen, 1 painkiller, 1 frag, as much ammo for your primary as you can fit plus a space or two (to quick grab a coke or beans) backpack, i go 2nd primary (usually a scope or silenced) plus ammo, 2 canteens and the rest 2-3 morphine, blood and some steak

sny number of keys can "get stuck" try right click and shift they are the usual suspects but I have had left and right strafe stick as well. just spam all your buttons, double right click or double shift is usually the one

you joined the ranks of hoarders?

Driving through open country.... started looking for crash sites.

not so much "ambush" more random ramming and shooting at a car that happened to be there

looks pile of crap
