Zarathustra (DayZ)

I'm glad to see that someone has made a topic on this, as I too feel that the urbanisation of Chernarus is encroaching on the wilderness that used to define it. The only thing I can suggest, if they intend to keep urbanising, is that they increase the boundaries of the map and fill it with wilderness to compensate.

Yeah, OP, I know. But I'm still going to call magazines clips to annoy people like you.

Heh, I was surprised that I hadn't seen this posted too. I was hoping Rocket might have commented on it, especially with Lorde being a kiwi herself.

Hey, what is the value for the standard FOV? I think I changed mine, but if it's going to cause accuracy issues, I want to change it back to the default.

There should no Ghillie suits in the game. No craftable Ghillies, no lootable Ghillies, none. Always operate under the principle that any powerful item, no matter how rare you try to make it, will be farmed until a section of the player base will all have them as a matter of course. Also, Rocket, no NVGs. Ever. Permanent removal of NVGs and Ghillie suits would be brave step in the right direction for this game. This is a survival game. Not a military themed death match.

I really hoping hunting will viable fairly soon. It was one of the aspects of the mod I liked most. Going up north, hunting to survive and generally staying away from towns and villages except to occasionally pick up medicine and weapons.

Hunting! I don't care for military weapons, vehicles, base-building, etc. I really enjoyed the wilderness survival aspects of the mod. I hope the hunting, skinning, cooking, etc makes a return fairly soon. Tangentially related: wildlife. We needs lots more wildlife.

Did everyone else have their character reset?

I spotted a rabbit tonight too. I chased and tried to kill it with my fireman's axe. No luck either. Looking forward to hunting, whenever that gets added.

I've got an ever growing pile of cans in my backpack and no damn way of getting in to them. Since SA was released I've put in about 9 hours game time, and only found one can opener. Any sharp instrument should be able to open them, perhaps with a chance to damage the contents.

There really needs to be a way to get into cans without the can opener. I've been playing (over several lives) for about 5 or 6 hours, and I only found one. You should be able to use a knife (perhaps causing it to take increased damage), or an axe (with a chance to lose some of the food) to get into cans. And water! There's water everywhere and not a drop to drink. The water pumps have a drink option that doesn't work, and it seems you can't drink from lakes. In the 6 hours I played I didn't find a single canteen or bottle to put water in either.

Was minding my business up near the dam north of Elektro when I head footsteps outside the house I was looting. Went out to investigate. There was a guy with an axe. "H-hi there - " He killed me.

Same here... I also received a message saying I'm not whitelisted. Judging by the fact that the sever is now empty, I'd say it's some sort of error. :)

I'm getting back into Day Z and would like to join your white-listed server! Hackers are why I stopped playing in August and why I said I would not be back until the standalone - but the wait has got too long.

I'm pretty sure a Steam account is tied to a credit/debit card, making it quite a bother to just create a new one. Not that it would ever happen - though I wish it would. The anal devastation at losing an entire Steam account (with games) for hacking would be glorious!

Since I'm not a fawning imbecile, when hackers appear I just disconnect. If they think they're going to have a fun at my expense, they're mistaken.

Yes, the lack of Soviet machine guns in DayZ has bothered me. Why is there such a variety of western MGs in an east European country, yet not a single Russian MG? I think Arma 2 has PKs, RPDs and RPKs, why didn't Rocket include them?

Obvious fakes. It doesn't look like the Real Virtuality engine and the textures and model detail on the vehicle in the first image are atrocious!

Spawning assets from Arma 2 isn't impressive. The parachuting cows that explode was at least moderately amusing and required some creative scripting. This, however, shows no creativity and required only minimal effort - I rate this hack 1/10. Try harder next time.

Go play something else until the stand-alone comes out.

OP and his stooges are hackers who want you to give up the fight by convincing you that you cannot possibly beat them. They're taking this shameless and desperate approach for a reason. Go to any hacking forum and look at the tears. Go and see how their bypasses are failing and watch the script kiddies beg for cheap replacement CD keys, then laugh as they cry when they get scammed. It's wonderful! BattleEye is working - albeit slowly. It has many, many cheaters to catch, but I'm confident the attrition rate among the cheaters is high and getting higher. Many of them are getting tired of buying CD keys and waiting for working bypasses. Seriously go and see for yourselves; finding these sites isn't hard. One of the best known ones has had their hack offline for over a week - the irate users (who pay a subscription) are a sight to behold!

I stopped playing because of the hackers and the lack of updates, but mainly because of the hackers. I am looking forward to the stand-alone though.

With regard to blood, I'm happy with the current system we have.

My beans to the admin of FR151! Good show!

This is utter horse shit. Disingenuous horse shit. It's like telling someone who's enquiring about an apartment in the most crime ridden street in a city, "Yes, we have crime, but which street doesn't? Get used to it." All games might have hacking, but the magnitude of the problem if far greater in Day Z than in any multiplayer game I have ever played. Heh, good luck with that. There's no such thing as a hacker free server in Day Z. Well, if you're willing to play in a server with less than 5 people then you may be left unmolested, but playing with so few people is contrary to the idea of the game.
