Personally, I will only play SA seriously when we'll get private hives without alll the bullshit of server hopping etc. When the choice is: playing in the night/rain or not playing at all suddenly people will start looking for light sources and raincoats instead os switching servers.

I don't see how it could work on a controller. If console users get dumbed down version that won't be DayZ anymore, so why bother? $$$? Anyway, I don't think it will be popular on PS4.

I've spent some time in DayZed. It had all kinds of survival aspects added. I must say stamina changed the way I used to play vs zeds. There was no endless running away untill they get lost, so if you get aggro from a zed that spawned around nearby deerstand and there's no place to hide, get ready to fight. On top of that, making decissions like: No bandages left. Should I just move on, hope to find them somewhere or try very risky trip to nearest hospital? More complicated food regen - meat more valuable. Raiding deerstands with a hope of finding hunting knife (quite rare) or at least a piece of raw meat. Avoiding all the zeds that spawn near them while my character could hardly see or hear because of blood loss. And obviously ma favourite part - milking cows and goats ;] Fun times.

There used to be some DayZ mods that focused on hardcore survival - they died because of lack of popularity, people complained that they were hard. I expect the same would happen if SA leaned towards hardcore survival experience - people super excited, start playing, "baw, it's hard", empty servers.

Played a couple of hrs on exp yesterday. Didn't notice any major changes about loot: Every spot close to the spawn points - empty as fck Buildings/villages in the middle of nowhere, where nobody ever comes - phat loot Gotta admit, tho - weapons were very rare.

Mod, especially DayZero. You might get better performance in SA compared to mod server with 1000 spawned zombies and a buttload of vehicles, but on the other hand SA server in such situation would just melt your PC.

How about we get a big, scary forest where bambis can wander in get lost and never come back because of hunger/thirst or dangerous animals?

Baldur's Gate 2 Yoshimo betraying me so I had to kill hmim :<<<<< I really liked him.

Want to get better than others? Practice more. Simple? For skills and perks go check RPG games.

I just wish my character wouldn't stop for a couple of seconds every time when he falls down 50cm while running.

Nope, go confirm your kill like a real man.

I don't see a problem tbh. People don't really want a hardcore survival. The best survival mod for Arma2 (DayZed) died because lack of popularity. Sure it wasn't heavily advertised, but it was available on DayzCommander so any real fan of survival could easily find it. People just like to say how badly they want the survival whenever somebody kills them, but the moment survival gets real they quit, because they'd rather be able to find gun after 5 mins of looting and focus on finding new hats.

Fck no! I spend enough time at gym irl. The moment we get tedious weight lifting introdeced to increase your characters strenght we will see bots that will do that for you. Don't have the opinion about toilet actions but I can image massive bitchfest on the forums when bandits add shitting on the body of thier victim to their routine.

I just assumed that everbody is using free look when running to constantly check the surroundings, so pressing one extra button is no prob. Can't even image running without that. And people wonder why they get killed... facepalm.jpg

Can't wait for vehicles to be implemented to read all the complains "I could totally build a car from a scrap if I had engine, some wheels and metal parts"

1. Get the mod. Get on the server without extra added vehicles, then come back and talk. Majority of people will have to stick to running when going form place to place. What do you expect? Fully repaired vehicle next to you whenever you spawn? 2. I'm talking about the weight. Anything that offers any decent protection will mostly be made of metal plates. Chain armour takes a crapton of time to make so I don't think we have it in SA. 3. Topic title: "Craftable armour". Are you saying you can craft modern combat armour in a shed using some basic tools and materials?

Nope, based on my experience with the mod. Finding a tent that you can place usually takes some time, placing it in a decent spot takes time, finding usefull extra items and filling your tent with them takes a lot of time. So if I have to spend 2-10hrs preparing all that and face the risk of losing it if: shot by random player, killer ladder, bugged zombie inside the wall kills me, ACT death, my own vehicle decides to kill me for no reason, falling 5m and dying, some other bug kills me - I'm pretty sure I'd never bother with tents at all.

I'm ok even with full plate armour as long as your character is out of breath after jogging 100m. Good luck getting anywhere wearing armour, unless it's just for sitting on your ass in Berezino.

Well, I've done pretty much everything there is to do and PvP is the only thing left that can be fun every now and then. When there's some new content I'm always there to check it out. Currently waiting for vehicles in SA. I wonder how many people I'll be able to kidnap by stoping next to them and yelling "Get in the car! There's no time to explain!"

All of the above: (Veteran) Main skills: knowledge and experience Weapon: any Loved items: anything that offers versatility Hate: rng (PvP) and lack of challenge (PvE) Wishes: more complex mechanics, more challenges Chance of KoS: high (note: only shoots if almost sure of hitting/killing the target) Been active since the beginnings of the mod. Found every single item, shot every gun, driven every vehicle. Survived jungles in Lingor, desert of Takistan, cold nights in Namalsk. Explored every inch of Chernarus. Practiced sniping in ACE, flown helis in combat, landed planes that run out of fuel. Shared last bandage and can of food with friends. Invited strangers to his fireplace. Ended life of bambis, lone wolves, heroes, bandits, survivors and whole clans. Died many times, taking a lesson in every death. Survivor, bandit and hero. Currently seeking thrill in PvP combat.

Even with like 100 vehicles on a server it's usually something like: 85 hidden all over the map. Forests, bushes etc. Mostly far away from spawn points and cities. 5 being currently used. 8 sitting on their spawn points - completly ruined, require hours of collecting parts to repair them. 2 sitting in crowded places as bait, being covered by sniper fire. Get used to running. Cars are loud, difficult to maintain and make you a target for everyone that can see or hear you.

1. Get some guns. 2. Find enterable building. 3. Cover entrances. 4. Congrats. You've created a safezone. 5. ??? 6. Profit.

Based on current developement speed I'd say: check out the mod to see what you can expect in SA and then just enjoy your summer. Right now, yeah, we pretty much wait and report bugs. Devs have a decent plan what they want to implement in upcomming months. Tents and persistant storage should be a big game-changer for people unfamiliar with the mod, but it seems like we might have to wait a couple of months for them. Even if we get surprised with some big update it will probably take at least a month to go from experimental to stable.

You should give it a try. I strongly advise to try out servers with most basic settings and staying away from Epoch/Overwatch and any server that has extra 1000 vehicles + weapons. I hate to say that, but: SA is still under developement. It's still in Alpha state, which means that we should be testing stuff rather than expecting to have a great time.
