You were only in cherno with nothing.... whats the big deal?

Rocket, I demand more interviews from you. You are not doing enough. Day-z has no flaws and is a phenomenon that should be in the media spot light as long as possible. War-z is stupid and I hate mmos like wow and war z is going to zombie wow, totally lame. But Rocket, I totally butt-love you and think you should do more interviews. You are way more important than all of that development and coding nerd stuff. I suggest you run 26 interviews a day, every day.

the game only gets better if you watch all of his interviews and see his vision. Once you see his vision you will understand.

I like how every poster makes a 'slippery slope' like statement. Not saying OP is wrong. In fact, I think OP is quite correct, this game does get worse every patch. All of the new patches are just more bugs with a feature or two that makes it that much easier to grief. Personally, I am disapointed with this development process.

A aspiring day-z medic named Trout just saved my life while I was knocked out! He offered me food and painkillers. He however did not have blood. Anychance a whitelisted medic can come give me a blood transfusion? I am near Drozhino

*flame suit on* I have been playing Day Z for some time now and after my most recent run I have come to the fair conclusion that this mod FAILS as a zombie survival simulator. I understand that this game was not built under with the thought of "Oh hey, this would be really fun!" About me: I am not a sorry ass noob who is crying because he keeps dying, or can't find any gear. I had it all. The only thing I failed to find is vehicles(well ive been killed by them enough). I have played the game many ways including but not limited to: a friendly survivor, a terrorizing bandit, a two faced survivor who will gain your trust just to shoot you when you dont expect it(sadistic, i know), batman, an honest abe player who doesnt exploit the system, an asshole whole will d/c when fired upon only to return a few minutes later to shoot you when you think the coast is clear. I have played this game nearly every way possible. Now the only thing fun to do is troll people in Cherno/Elektro on direct chat blaring some sort of awful music or some other weird ass way to play the game. Enough about me... Why Day-z Fails as a zombie survival simulation: Okay, #1, This game is far from a simulation -Aside from zombies not being real and me not being able to hop to different dimensions(servers)- IRL you do not have unlimited stamina. I'm pretty sure if a zombie made you bleed you were going to be a zombie. More cars would be available, but gas would be priceless. Your person would suffer from depression due to the forced style of lone wolf game play (dont even say p2p interaction occurs, sniper bullets in your brain is not what i mean) There are a million things people could pick out if they wanted. Zombies suck in general, while their AI has been improving, they still are pretty broken. Zombies run at the same exact pace as every character in the game. Shouldn't zombies(and players?) run at different speeds? Zombies are hardly a threat (except when your blood level is critical). Wouldn't there be randomly roaming zombies ALL over the world and not just loot locations? In a true zombie apocalypse, the zombies would be enemy #1, not other humans. Yeah, you will have evil people in the world but not nearly as many as there are on any day z server. Day-z = Anarchy Simulator? Other players ruin the game. I feel that surviving is just too easy in this game which is way many players resort to banditry. I think zombies need to much more of a threat. Im pretty sure there are more bugs than zombies, Yeah Alpha my ass, this has been in alpha for waaay to long and with the huge increase on players you would think BIS would help on the bug squashing end. Also- Rocket- This message is for you= Stop doing interviews saying the SAME THING in all of them and get back to work before someone steps in and takes your idea and makes it better. Welcome to Day-Z the walking simulator. The map is way too big to have any fun on when it takes 4 hours to get to the northern border just to get shot by a random sniper. Put more vehicles in the game and make gas a rare commodity that could even be used as a currency. This game is not fun- No one wants to play a boring ass walking simulator. Rocket do you want sales? People dont buy it unless they know its fun. The only reason so many people bought crappy Arma 2 was because of all the hype. This game appeared to be the most fun thing in the world. I even forced myself to believe that for some time. But after about 24 hours of game play, I cant say that its very fun. I think with some major tweaks you will create a game filled with fun while maintaining a walking zombie simulator genre. Okay you savage people, I expect a lot of tl:dr's and other forms of internet doucheness.

YEs, all day err day

Well after creating this thread I have lost all faith in humanity. People either take what I say the wrong way, skim through, or jump to conclusions. I enjoy this game and its core concepts. I just think almost everything needs to be reworked to actually be a legit game. I know it is a simulator but it MUST be fun or it wont be successful and really, why the fuck would you play a game when it is not fun/entertaining. I say this game fails because it continues to lose the appeal of "fun" as you play more of it. Don't say that im a noob and I am mad because I keep dying... Infact almost all of my deaths have been the most heart pounding entertainment I have had in this game. Like I said before, and will say again... Almost everything has to be reworked. ##Yes, I know my writing is random rambling about the game but there is soo much wrong with this game and I want it to work so bad. It is like a good girlfriend who is just nasty in the face and bad in bed##

Not true at all. Gear finding is easy... Especially if you hunt bandits.

No one said the game was hard. We actually were talking about how surviving is way too easy causing cod-like player killing. And I will be back after a few <Major> patches.

OG Gamers= "Damn kids these days" Rocket Fanboys= "ALPHA!! ALPHA!! Greatest flawless game mod Alpha ever!" Douches= " YOUR SO STUPID QQ" I am all about hardcore survival games, I have an unsafe obsession for zombies and zombie apocalypses. I have a soft spot for indie developers. I want this game to evolve from a concept into something great... My last post on this thread will end with this: Rocket, dont let your 15 minutes of fame distract you from your game! Please fix the following : Loot, Zombies, Players, Towns, Buildings, bugs, glitches, d/cing, server hopping, and throw a sprinkle of fun in =)

I love what this game is and I have had fun with it. But what Im trying to say is that it is broken. This can become something amazing, but right now it isn't. It's fate is undecided.

-omerta- You summed up what i was trying to say in a far less harsh manner. I applaud you!

Zedsdead is a rocket fanboy who apparently hasn't put enough time into day-z :lol: (trollolol) If rocket does intend on making this a stand alone game, I'm pretty sure the full release will not be out for a couple years knowing how the game industry works.

Maybe add a feature where when you are cut by a zombie you get infected and need to find antibiotics before you turn... and then when you turn you can be a zombie until you die.

There?

Zero bro. Every bug I have seen has been reported countless times. And when the average player plays for about 7 hours and quits that says a lot too. Something like... This game is fun at first but loses its charm shortly after?

Don't put words in my mouth. I said this game needs to make some major changes or its not going to be successful. I also said that this game gets very boring after you play every role possible. I never said I didnt have fun with it.

Less than 25% of the people who originally played this mod have played in the last 24 hours. Those are great retention numbers [sarcasm] At the current state... This mod is close, but no cigar.

Zedsdeadbaby- You must not know the power of the news media... Get media sources talking about something and the people will come running like zombies.

It wasn't just kotaku, it was every gaming media being like "OMG A ZOMBIE SURVIVAL FINALLY!! OOO AND ITS HARDCORE!!!" I guarantee you that the numbers will begin to plateau very soon (if not already, not going stat hunting) because really the game is not all that fun after the first couple runs. The bottom line of this post is that Day-Z needs a lot of changes. Alpha or not. They need a whole new engine. Rocket has a crap load of work at his plate and if you are not worried about the future of this mod then you are a fucking fool.

No, the massive hype and zombie theme drove that many people to this walking simulator. I am not talking about myself because If I did I would look like a douche and no one would believe me The fact is that the game right now is BROKEN. Whether it stays broken is up to rocket.

I follow this game very closely. There is very little progress in making this a better "experiment". Averaging about 4-5 changes per patch. The changes are usually fixing what the last patch broke. I used to be like you guys and scream alpha... then I took an arrow to the knee.

I have more than that.. That just the point where I was like "why the hell am I still playing this" . I return every few patches and give it a shot.
