xX_fr0st-w0lf_Xx (DayZ)

I'm not worried about BE or BIS using that info to detect hacks, but if its compromised/stolen........like ummm..........the dayz source code.............then....yea....we are kind of screwed, no? Also I'm assuming BE is doing the same for Arma 3 or is it only for dayz?

Yes, in the mod people would sneak around to not alert the zeds. While you can easily maneuver your way around them, it would easily give away your position. Normally people would track their targets and then shoot to kill them, worrying about the zeds once the other player was dead.

Thanks for the info. Much appreciated.

The side chat reminded me it was a multiplayer game when I have not encountered anyone in a while. I had many laughs and made a few friends on that. It will be missed. I hope it could be made optional in the future.

Ah, I wish I had more time on my hands, its luxury I did not know I had until I lost it. But you're right, ill try it as soon as I can. Really hope it is worth that install, was trying to get more info before hand to judge. I'll give you the benefit of the doubt.

Those memories.... "friendlies in cherno?"....followed by a lee shot......followed by a swarm of 25 zeds chasing a guy as he runs creating a train.

Supply & Demand. Epoch had many more servers then vanilla in the mod because people enjoyed epoch. People enjoy having different things to do and seeing progression. Is that's what dayz is about? No. Is it fun however? Absolutely.

I have not been on in 4 months. If what you speak is true, then I am even more disappointed then I was expecting to be. Are servers still capped at 40?

I find it hilarious that people are calling dayz a survival game, or better yet hardcore. I mean we are playing a game where the only goal is to kill other people. A game where zombies are negligible. If you think because you have to hold down the W key for 20 minutes to get anywhere makes a game hardcore then you are wrong. For the record I was not impressed with H1Z1 either, watched the first dev video and was repelled maybe it changed. Hell maybe dayz changed, I haven't touched it in over a month. I'm just waiting for the beta to come out.

So true Especially Namalsk, what a beauty that was.

Thats more then I was expecting. Perhaps when beta rolls out it will be better.

I really hope this is not the start of many. I mean its light going through walls, the whole point of the SA was to do what the mod couldn't due the engine. And now they have access to that engine and we still have limitations. Also for "at this time" I really doubt they are going to be playing around with this ever again. Screams damage control.

I will agree SA weapons do look quite nice, but it is hard to admire when the current engine cannot stop lights going through walls due to engine limitations.

I'm waiting for the beta before going back into dayz. Being an Alpha does not bug me. http://feedback.dayzgame.com/view.php?id=300#c53954 This does. If they cannot fix flashlights going through walls due to "engine limitation" what else will be left out. Also can some please help me understand why they have engine limitations when they have access to the engine??? I feel this is the first of many. Only time will tell. "What a complete and utter disappointment. I'm afraid the first of many. The entire point of the standalone project was supposed to be creating a new engine for DayZ that could break the limitations of the ARMA engine which made it so difficult to do things in the mod. And after the monumental effort of the team - after nearly 2 years of work - we've got an engine that can't even reflect lights off of surfaces? A problem that was solved in like 1999? I'm trying to be somewhat diplomatic, but the only word that I can think of right now is "clusterfuck." quote this from geekopotamus from reddit This sums everything perfectly.

Won't matter game will still be in alpha XD

Dayz had to choose between delaying the game for 2 years, learning a bunch of new things and reaping unimaginable benefits with the new engine or use the old one, develop faster with previous knowledge but have a dated engine. Both are equally bad. Was a really tough decision for the team. But with the rate development is going they could make dayz on arma 4's engine.

People are mad at the slow development, but they are also mad at the lack of info. That road map that everyone loves linking has some stuff that was due for the end of April. It has come and gone...and I didn't hear any news about it. With Arma 3, you knew what you would get and when you would get it and if you didn't you would know why and when the new release date will be. I was extremely satisfied with the alpha/beta procedure and while I felt that the final game lacked some content I feel that Bis is making up for it. "It's an Alpha" may be an excuse to almost everything, but it is not an excuse for the lack of info.

OP just deal with it. Just like we have to deal with desync, and broken zeds, and hackers, and pressing hotbar keys 7 times.... Don't you dare mention your issues to the community, they will tear you a new one.

Jesus. Truest thing. The only thing keeping me from abusing that game is the fact that its 30 years ahead.

Market has now been satisfied for MC, the mass mods had allowed it to be much more broad, and appeal to many more people. Of course right now MC by itself would be losing money if the devs kept working on it because few would continue to buy it. *Note when I say losing money, I mean by: in a month they would spend more then they would receive* Hence why they created realms, a 13$/month continuous income source that could allow them to develop indefinitely while still making money. market is full, but they keep milking it. Also, while my development knowledge is quite limited, I'm quite sure that dev cost for minecraft is not as large as that for dayz. And minecraft even in it's alpha stage was not that buggy, the only thing that changed was more and more content. Dayz does not have that luxury as it is currently fighting against the engine. (Thisis not dayz's fault, it is just the way the engine is) Lastly minecraft is so huge, broad and well known it is allowed to "bend the rules" (even thought it does not, as it implemented realms to continue making profit) It is kind of like apple, a company that can sell their phones for 700$ bi-yearly with out a care in the world. Dayz is not a horrible game, and I'm sure most of what is promised will arrive (sooner or later) but dev process could be a little faster, and from a business perspective I understand why they are not.

Just on waiting. on world change. We keep waiting, Waiting the to -John Mayer :P

1) No, some not all. A good mod server with no spawn weapons was amazing. 2) Half-assed? really? Namalsk, Origins hell even epoch gave you more things to do. 3) It's a shame I won't live till 130 to see it.

Ill simplify it. Lets say dayz sold 1 million copies for simplicity sake, it is much more then that now. That equals 30 million dollars in revenue. How much of that 30 million do you think is going back into dayz? A game that has already satisfied it's market? If you want to buy dayz, you already bought it. There will never be a huge peak in sales as there was at the start. Now I'm going to be very generous and say that 25%-35% will go back into development, but I would not be surprised if it is as low as 20%. They will never stop development, that would cause BIS to lose face, but they will definitely not work at their most optimal speed, that's for sure. Basically there are no advantages to speed up dev process, absolutely none. While slower dev process means they save more money which means they create better products. maybe I'm wrong about dayz, hopefully I'm wrong, but so far.....

Conscious decisions? If you see zombie: Run around it and melee until it dies. If you see player: Shoot and kill, if unarmed either run to melee or hide If you see neither: Hold down w key to your destination Dayz is the last game that has conscious decisions as of right now, maybe it will change.

Expect everything to be redone for zombies. Also, that damn trial in GoT, tyrion killed it
