Perks? Levels? "Points"?

LOL. You swapped your keyboard before swapping servers?

These are my favorite kind of posts. Acknowledges that the game is in Alpha; Complains that the game is in Alpha. Look, just because you say "I know this is Alpha but," does not suddenly make your complaint valid. It's like saying "With all due respect, you are a dick."

Haven't had this problem. So far I've joined full servers, had a very smooth experience. One thing I noticed is that moving backpacks and containers to the ground and such is much more responsive, which is nice because usually I'm carrying around 2 or 3 of them at a time. Try joining a different server?

Once they get zombies working properly, yeah. Also they could spawn sitting in car wrecks and stuff, and just sit there looking like corpses until you open the door to grab his Mosin or map or whatever. Good idea actually.

It's called the bug tracker. Making forum posts does not actually HELP the dev team at all. Do you really think they're just on here 24/7 reading your stupid threads? NO! They have a dedicated system for tracking bugs, so use it. The alpha is $30, so stop exaggerating. It's $30 right now on the steam store. They didn't "screw us." Rocket made public statements on popular media sites, here, on streams, on videos, basically all over the internet, that people should not buy this game if they aren't willing to buy an unfinished product. Shut up you stupid child. If $30 is really that much of a loss for you, then maybe you should get a REAL FUCKING JOB and stop spending money on video games. Oh, and did you miss the Bohemia sale that was right before the alpha launch? You could have picked up Arma 2 with all the expansions for about 7 bucks and probably had a better time with the mod. It's still really fun, the Standalone is not your only option.

Uhg. Ranking. People have such antiquated ideas about video games.

Well you know that old saying: If you're bored then you're boring.

No. Survivors wouldn't be able to loot anyone? Ridiculous. Morality is not black and white. What if you find a dead body? This system is so overly complex and gimmicky, it would seriously detract from the game. I don't want messages telling me that other players are within 500m of me, that basically takes away their ability to sneak up on other players undetected. Besides, you seem to be forgetting that this game is still in Alpha and therefore not all the content is final. There's going to be zombies, vehicles, base building, all features which inherently provide different means of cooperation and combat. Everyone will quit the game? Oh thank you, wise Nostradamus! Even though the mod has already been out for over a year and that didn't get abandoned, so anecdotal evidence would prove you wrong.

You have to be the hero of your own story. That's pretty much the best you can hope for.

I'm glad that Bohemia doesn't hire media goons. DayZ is such a good product, it sells itself. Just look at all the streamers and youtube videos. We don't need no propaganda machine with frilly hats.

You know what they say. Revenge is a dish best served cold.

The little twat is live right now, using dev tools on Infestation to instantly create items and distribute them to his posse. What a loser. He doesn't even play by the rules. Lol. and Infestation's horrid inventory system is currently pissing him off. Hilarious that the tiniest glitch in DayZ becomes some kind of joke to him, but the second Infestation rears its ugly head, he's all out of snark. Stupid media puppet. "I'll give us all APC's, and food and water..." :facepalm:

Um... You're at the NWAF shouting friendly? :facepalm:

Just treat them as a possible threat. If you can talk to them, make them comply, and restrain them, then you can be nice to them. If they try to punch you, put a bullet in their face. Simple.

Stopped reading at "casual." No thanks.

Do you know the meaning of the word alpha? Like, at all? It means the game is incomplete. Once there are more features, it will play differently. Stop insulting people, ass.

Lol um... Did you ever play the mod? Newsflash, the player limit was well above 40, and it wasn't "too densely populated." In fact, I've been having trouble finding any other players lately, on completely full servers. So yeah, let's get that player limit up.

Unless you haven't noticed, Dean's mantra is "If it's worth doing, it's worth doing right." Simply mirroring the model ala Counter Strike results in a physically inaccurate model of the weapon, as the ejection port and other operations end up on the wrong side. This means to do it correctly, you have to make all new animations. Besides, what is the point aside from aesthetics? Many lefties shoot right handed anyway. As stated, the ejection port of like 90% of weapons is on the right side, which means shooting it lefty would result in hot brass in your face and possibly in your clothes.

Seems like a serious waste of development time tbh.

Okay look. I don't want to make it seem like your ideas aren't welcome here. However, since you're new, there are a few things you need to understand before a hundred thousand or more of you newcomers start popping off about some totally-genius-nobody-ever-thought-of-this-before-I-can-has-beanz?- topic, which we have already read. This is the forum search. USE IT. It's also placed for your convenience right over here>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>^ Of course, maybe that's just too hard to figure out, so here is a short list of dead horses that really don't need any more beating. 1: KoS. ENOUGH with the threads about Kill on Sight. Literally about every 30 seconds it seems like we've got some grand idea to "solve" Kill on Sight, or how "Kill on sight is ruining the game," blah blah blah. Rocket is not reading your thread, and people are going to give you the same response they gave everyone else. There are even threads specifically stickied for this topic. USE THEM. 2: "There's too much military loot." Well, it's alpha. There are literally two rifles in the game. What do you expect? How can we test items if they are impossible to find? Have you considered that making m4's rarer would only concentrate them in the hands of more elite players, resulting in a less balanced playing field? Again, stop posting new threads, post in the existing ones. 3: "Eating and drinking is too hard!" Again, use the search function. If you were eating and drinking correctly, then your player wouldn't be thirsty every five seconds. It's pretty logical, and it's not that hard. 4: "Mommy, I can't find any lootz, I want a refund!" http://dayzdb.com/map/chernarusplus Here you go. Find some greener grass and stop badgering everyone else about your problems. 5: Safe zones. What can I say? Absolutely not. The only safe zone is one that players enforce themselves. End of discussion. 6: "Punish murderers by making them go insane and hallucinate." If you honestly think this is a "solution" to PvP or KoS, well you're just wrong. Every player will end up seeing things that don't exist. 7: "Combat logging/Server hopping is the end of the world omg the game is RUINED!" It's alpha, it will be addressed. USE THE EXISTING TOPICS. 8: Third person vs First person. I really don't care that much about it and I think a majority of players would actually agree with that statement. The only reason it has "controversy" is because the people who have an opinion are the ones who care to be vocal. 9: "My character got deleted! Rocket is a dick!" Again, this is an unstable build, you were warned, ect. Making a thread about your stupid digital avatar's disappearance won't get you your gear back. 10: *Insert WarZ related suggestion here.* You should know why this is a bad idea, even if you're new. Expect mass face palms. 11: Hacking. Yes. We are aware that some people use cheats. You don't need to remind us every five seconds with a new thread. In closing, not only will using the search function save you time and hassle, it also saves the time of other members and moderators. So use it!

Well, spray paint is confirmed. Rocket even said you'd be able to paint guns, and make improvised explosives.

BECAUSE. No actually I don't know why. It probably has something to do with disabling side chat. I'm sure they will fix the issue though.

I think, if the game had never supported third person to begin with, this wouldn't even be an issue. We'd see threads like "Enable third person?" And everyone would be like "no, fuck you kid." Lol. It's just a crutch that a lot of people got used to.

Well, towards the beginning of the game I had some relatively neutral or interesting interactions, but as players become bitter from their deaths they tend to murder other players more. It also has to do with power dynamics. Like one time, I was walking on the road and up ahead I saw a man about 50m away walk over the crest. He pulled out his axe, and in response I raised my rifle. But then, I decided to wave at him, and sure enough he waved back, put his axe away, and we passed each other without incident. It just depends. Also the other day at Komarovo I met a guy in his underwear, who pulled out a crowbar and used it to do a hilarious dancing animation. He gave me his backpack. Then we ran up the road to Balota together, just shooting the shit, at which point we ran into some other players who were playing Miley Cyrus over direct chat and dancing in a circle. As I was watching the weirdness before me, we started taking gunfire and I ran for my life. Oh DayZ. :rolleyes:
