actually the biggest problem is bored hackers, they absolutely have no interest in the survival aspect of the game their main goal is to ruin the game for those playing by hacking the servers causing all kinds of trouble. They are nothing but punks who could care less about dayz or the community. Until rocket can fix the hacking problem the game will continue to suffer.

The game is far from "perfectly fine as is" the biggest problem is hackers at the moment it's way too easy to hack the game and ruin it for everyone on the server. Tonight I was hacked TWICE, luckily I didn't lose any gear but once I was teleported into the wilderness and then on respawn ended up at the airfield, and the second time I died before I could even spawn on the server CA #500 and ended up spawning in the wilderness, luckily I got my gear back when I logged onto another server and I was teleported to the shore.... So until these hacks can be eliminated the game is broken IMHO.

What is up with the slow loading screens? Anyone waiting over 10 min to log into a server?

Before I even logged into this server I died: CA #500 I'm not sure what happened, but my character spawned in the wilderness and I never saw a YOU ARE DEAD screen. Very weird. It took a while to load the game and when it finally did I was dead.... oh well looks like there are more alpha bugs to kill.

UPDATE, I switched servers and I got all my stuff back however now I am at the shore. Looks like my location was deleted somehow but at least my gear is still here. So bizzare, has anyone else had this happen?

I prefer to play on servers that have the map feature enabled. I wish there was a way for us to filter for servers with this enabled , I just waste time hopping servers until I find one and I will not play on servers that dont have it...

Hey lets turn dayz into farmville so we can harvest crops daily! NO!! no no no no no and no! besides why would you want to do that in the first place when you have a supermarket and animals in the fields?

He is, welcome to the game biz.

Stop typing in CAPS and also stop running around like a jackass.

they tried a bounty system in eve online, basically any player could put a bounty on another player.... it failed completely, players would just have their friends kill them and collect the bounty. heres the big issue I want gear, but I have none.... so me and a friend keep killing each other to get the "ear" trophy count very high until we have enough kills.

Here is my list to change dayz for the better: 1. Spread the drop of guns and bullets far across the map or town. A gun and bullets are SO convenient when they spawn. This will encourage teamwork as guy A spawns closer to guns, guy B spawns closer to bullets, one gathers the rounds and the other gathers the guns and they must find one another mid point and establish TRUST. lower bullet spawns by 50% make them more rare. I would even make guns damaged by default and require them to be repaired before they can even be used. Imagine you give a bandit bullets, they try to shoot you but their gun jams. You have a knife and can kill them while they try to repair their gun. 2. Animals should be harder to hunt, and meat should SPOIL. 3. When zombies are killed they must be burned or they will regenrate and return to life after 5 minutes. 4. Blood transfusions can be injected with poison and be tainted by players. Allow blood transfusions to be also lethal. 5. Make guns JAM when fired rapidly like an idiot. 6. allow hand combat with knives and even crafted weapons. 7. after bandits kill a player the dead player automatically spawns three new zombies in place of the player.

lol, nice one bro. how will they kill more players? by throwing their guns and ammo at one another? logic fail. I take a blood bag and poison it, then leave it dropped on the ground, bags look the same, you pick up the bag and administer it to your friend...killing him. again thinking is not your primary focus I understand that....

why #7 makes sense. it does not punish griefing directly, however it makes it that much harder to continue with a loud and not silenced weapon. There should be a greater threat and greater consequences to killing players in a zombie apoc. I would even suggest that some players would DIE without the aid of others, so their own violence is their undoing and would have much greater consequences. However if you are a skilled killer and predator and can actually manage to get a silenced weapon with ammo then by all means grief away, you earned that right and it was tough but you managed it anyway. Right now anyone with a lee enfield can be a griefer so why hunt for more expensive gear when a regular rifle can kill just as easily.

give a reason for the no or return to your troll cave

there is a G SPOT to break the glass with a single shot..... guess you didn't find it until 28 shots.

climbing down stairs into a barb wire that I could not see, then falling through the floor, being stuck inside the wall and bleeding to death.

West coast also, would love to team up and build stuff.

What are the TOP ten things that ruin the dayz experience, if you say hackers that's obvious so don't bother. PK (player killers) are also not the problem.... Here is my list: 1. Magical items (bullets/flares/chem lights respawn after disconnecting/reconnecting. 2. Items dissapear magically if backpack is full and you try to place an item inside. 3. Vehicles dissapear when moving between servers 4. Zombies can teleport 5. You can swim through a floor and die 6. You cant apply pressure to slow down bleeding, obviously you cant shoot while applying pressure.(balancing) 7. You can't use a knife to attack another player 8. You can't use your hands to fight 9. Guns NEVER jam.(firing too fast jams guns not dirt!) 10. You can't swim with a backpack.

jamming occurs when you fire ammo too fast. dirt has shit to do with it.

also I have TWO hands why cant I equip TWO guns???

60 minutes is too short. It should be a 24 hour timer. You don't have to survive for 24 hours but 24 hours have to pass between a new spawn point.

Usually people with that much loot are HIGHLY aggressive, since they want to keep said loot. It's preventive kills, kill those who could pose a threat. Everyone ofcourse is a threat.... but that said many just kill anything that moves..... bunnies and carebears. If it moves shoot it, if it doesn't loot it.

My take, The Soviets have a long history of biological weapons research and experimental technology. While they signed the Geneva Convention which banned both bio and chemical weapons the Soviets continued to research in secret using their own citizens as test subjects. Russia had two problems, one were rebels in Chernarus and two the need to advance their bio weapon programs secretly. They codenamed the project DayZ. The soviets would deal with both problems. First they setup health centers in Chernarus in key locations under the "we are here to help" guise, daily propaganda was spread by flyers "we are not your enemies the Chernarus rebels are the cause of all your misery. We offer health, food and water". they handed out cans of beans and coca cola/pepsi cans, a rare treat in that area. These psyop propaganda posters were delivered by soldiers and by air/helicopters to several cities in Chernarus. However, soon the military would face an even greater threat then the rebels. The prisoners of war who they experimented on were coming back to life, returning from the dead, their muscles working with incredible agility and strength which overwhelmed military's limited resources in Chernarus. A distress beacon was sent from the green mountain but the infection spread rapidly, and even though the military tried to contain the situation they were simply outnumbered and overwhelmed by the rapid spread of the virus. The lab that was responsible for developing the virus was burned down and destroyed, it's location is unknown. the scientists who developed the DayZ weapon are missing and presumed dead. The lead general of the army deplyed to Chernarus is also missing and their whereabouts are a complete mystery...

What should really happen is that once you SPAWN anywhere that is your spawn point for 24 hours, it only shifts by a few 100 meters but is always around the same area. You can suicide yourself ALL you want but you will always respawn in kamenka. fixed.

you give WAY too much credit to hackers.... you didn't have a problem with hackers last night , everyone had this problem if they restarted. As for your computer, sounds to me like you are lucky that there was a broken server, you may have been infected for MONTHS and not realized your machine was malfunctioning. I will bet anything had you been playing any other game the outcome would have been the SAME. Bad luck.
