  1. Hey guys, how does this option work ? I see the "ghost" barrel but how do I "confirm" the place I've chosen for the barrel ? Holding the left mouse button doesn't do anything here ? thanks

    Reinstate Forced Server Messages!

    Right, and Devs are to blame for Climate Change, Poverty, Hunger, everything... We have server restarts since how many years ? *facepalm*
  4. I had this too and always joined as a female character even I customized a male char. It appears that after renaming it, it's now set as default. Maybe worth a try ?

    A message for those who play 3rd person servers

    "hardcore": - being able to jog around for ages with like 50 kgs of gear - zigzagging to dodge bullets with like 50 kgs of gear - getting shot, still being able to run away (often, not always) - getting shot, losing lots of blood, just bandaging, waiting for some minutes = back at full health Seriously...

    another random hardcore dude, not using the search function to find a million threads about this topic, - everyone is free to play how he likes and there already are 1pp servers, end of story
  7. Hey guys, after about a year I was really looking forward to return to DayZ (again). But very soon I found out that the toggle-raise key has been removed, which is IMHO a real PITA. Please feel free to correct me, but when I got it right, you actually need 4 keys (!) to take a single aimed shot with your weapon ? 1) hold key to raise weapon 2) key to aim down sights 3) hold key to hold breath 4) key to shoot After so many years, being a A3/Dayz-Mod veteran like many others, now I find myself thinking about which of all the keys I have to press to shoot a bloody chicken ? Seriously ? I didn't find much about this issue but read somewhere, that this was implemented because some people didn't like to see players running around with the weapons raised. I totally agree that this doesn't look very nice and realistic but imho you just can't change things without seriously considering usability/gameplay. There was also the point, that shooting should not be as easy as in every FPS, still, needing 4 keys is not a real solution. We all know that IRL, these steps are natural, it's one flow - why make it harder than in real life ? Apart of this, after so many years, I think it's a shame that there's still no key to vault over a fence. I still love this game, thanks for your opinion, g.

  9. You shound find some dedicated "PVE only" in the server browser, not sure how many speak English.

    A few suggestions....

    The one single false claim that there's "no food at all", while there are thousands of apple trees, disqualifys the entire original post.

    refund

    It is your false claim and not true at all that it is "unplayable", as thousands of other players enjoy DayZ every day. As it is not "unplayable", and never was, there was nothing to know at the "beginning". If you buy a (prototype-)car and use it daily, and after three years you run into issues and don't like the design anymore, do you really think you can ask for a refund then ?
  12. gambla

    refund

    So you've bought a product 3 years ago and used/consumed it for 3 years. On top of this, you've bought this product with a clear warning of "early access" and "alpha version", and unfortunately a lot of negativ reviews everywhere. And now after 3 years, you're asking for a refund ? Seriously, LOL ! sorry

    3PP vs 1PP - I finally have an opinion

    Oh Lord, how many of these discussions and "suggestions" do we need until it's finally enough ? Why do players , who prefer 1pp, don't stop trying to convince other players of 1pp ? Please don't try to start just another discussion under the cover of you suggestion. This topic is obsolete anyway as we already have many private 1pp-only servers.

    Exp Update 0.61.136887

    Had pretty much everything to survive then was killed by a fresh spawn stabbing me to death, epic fail in close combat. Next life endet freezing to death cause I didn't realize it was raining, it was night and didn't see or hear the rain until it was too late. Played against my survivor-rule not to run around at night. It's just the best DayZ experience since the mod days and the best Christmas present this year. This is DayZ, I love it !

    Are rabbit snare traps (still) broken ? I caught a rabbit, could pick up the trap but not the rabbit corps. It wasn't displayed in the vicinity. Sorry if this is old news, just trying to survive...

    is it just me...?

    Sorry, that's not true , the term survival is not that general. Survival is generally about surviving in the wild, nature. To stay in the computer games world, check out other dedicated survival games like "the long dark", "stranded deep". If it's multiplayer, then other players just naturally become the most dangerous predator, as mankind is in real life too. That DayZ became pvp-focused is simply because there was too much food/water around and zombies, nature were no real threat at all. All that was left to do was pvp. It was just another shooter in a different scenario. And no, it wasn't the appeal for a large player base and not for me. There are so many pvp focused A3 mods with different scenarios and pve elements as well as other pvp-games/shooters, nobody ever needed DayZ for that. It was the original, special, well made post-apocalyptic zombie survival horror what made DayZ special and created the atmosphere. Only an unfortunately high number of hostile KOS players were the biggest threat for a long time. Don't get me wrong, I like pvp, and we need pvp as it adds a threat and high tension. But personally, until now, I never had a reason to kill any player. Now, with the lack of food and good equipment, some will kill to survive. Pvp was never meant to be and is not anymore the "strongest aspect", there were just no others. Now everybody has a choice how to survive. Of course you can still KOS and live of the dead player's food/water/gear/meds. No, I don't see any issues with the map flow, and haven't seen reports from other players. But yes, we can be wrong. To say finding food/water is still trivial is again just not true. Right, having an unlimited source of apples is an issue, but this is reported and discussed. Apart of that we now finally have zeds in most towns "guarding" apple trees and wells, canned food is very rare. And we have the constant threat of wolves to counter living by deer, fishing and using ponds.
  19. I can't connect to Steam neither Program nor Browser. And in offline mode I get kicked when joining any server due "auth failed". I just like to know if it's the same for you guys ? Forcing players / customers to be always-steam-online is what I really don't like at all, to be polite in my wording.

    Steam down - DayZ no authentication ?

    Thanks for the answer but these questions were for BI, not Steam, not players. No comms, no backup, and no precautions after previous incidents is just not professional at all. And as it happened before it DOES seem very necessary. If it was indeed a heavy ddos attack, then it won't be always hours but can lead to days of downtime. That doesn't have to be accepted at all. And since Mirai is public, I don't see it getting better any time soon. Putting in alternative ways of authorization IS possible and just a matter of money.

    Steam down - DayZ no authentication ?

    Thanks man, found that site too. I've also read that Steam was offline last year Christmas time too and a rumor that it's a possible DDOS attack (again). But I have to say I don't care what exactly it is. We are customers and we've bought this game from BI, and sorry to say this, but I don't give zero f****s if any other third party involved goes offline. If they don't get their sh.. together again and again, then please BI change your auth policy for your products. Questions from a customer to BI: - What's the status of the incident ? - Is there any ETA yet ? - Is there any communication ? - What is the backup- /fallback plan ? - Since it not happened the first time, why isn't there any solution implemented yet ? - What is done to prevent these incidents in the future ? thanks

    is it just me...?

    "open world survival" is as clear as it can get, and that the focus is on survival, there's no need to mention "PVE". If players prefer a "balance of pve and pvp", there are many A3 pvp mods with pve elements. I believe the majority of players see pvp just as one single part of survival but not equally to pve, maybe an end-game if you've satisfied your basic needs. I don't see any "shit map flow" either. If they skip entire towns, they still have to find food and water anytime soon. I currently have the best pve/survival experience since the mod times and DayZ exactly feels like the "open survival horror" as advertised. This is absolutely the way I think it's meant to be played.

    Love this build :-)

    I came back after a year and didn't expect too much, but it's just awesome now. Playing just a few days and really enjoying it. The most important issue for me was that loot needed to be reduced significantly and that was done. Less is more. Keep up the good work!

    DayZ Map (offline)

    I wasn't aware that the ingame map doesn't work at the moment. And I agree that a map without town names is odd. However you didn't get the point that "learning Chernarus" is part of the game / survival. What is the point of Survival, to spawn in and already know where the next well, pond or town is ? Then why don't we spawn with a map and gps in the first place ? If learning the map is already a "pain in the ass" for you and not worth your time, then I doubt you'll have any fun with other survival aspects as well. And saying "enjoying DayZ like it was", with 0.61 stable out, food is furtunately rare again, DayZ is NOT like it was anymore, and this awesome. This is what made me return to play after a year. If players like to have it easy, using online maps, high-loot servers and what not, then they can play as they want, but then please don't come crying in the forums about being bored, nothing left to do in the game.
