Is it really worth the effort?

I've noticed cross town aggro of zombies as well. I will be crawling through a town, super careful then a zombie from across the other side of town just comes at me?? happened twice now. Something to do with the visual reading? maybe it represents a chance of being seen in LOS.

Suerly from a games sales objective this is a desirable result?

I think bicycles cannot be repaired unfortunately. It would be handy to be able to destroy them so they can start re-spawning again. I have a bike all red stats, tried new tires and scrap metal to repair and no luck.

What was the edited bit out of the vid?

Struth cobber! You fair dinkum?

It would be nice to have some sort of post from the Dayzmod crew telling us expected downtime and when its safe to login.

It seems to be a repeat of last night. Can't get in to play the game. damn.

This has happened a few times, but most recently on US 131. I have no video so I'm not going to make a cheat report. 5 people on the server, I am WAAAY north of NE airfield, in a forest at night. Driving my ATV in the forest, get shot at by silenced weapon and minor wound. I sped off, travel in a direction for a minute, then the guy is very close again (or another guy) shooting at me. Minor wound again, anyway i keep driving for another minute in same direction and then the guy is shooting me with another silenced weapon at close range. I was not going in circles, it seemed like the guy was teleporting to me repeatedly and shooting me. Am I going mad or does such a hack exist?

What difference does it make Drakagh? it wasnt your ATV.

Drakagh, believe me, i had a base on the west edge and i spent some time today transferring it across to the east. Truth. If i had found your ATV i would have taken it. Also truth. Why would I lie?

I've had an ATv on that server for 3 days, I'd just started to migrate it to the east coast. The fact that you lost your ATV is a coincidence. It definitely was my ATV had it for ages. Your accusations are very suspect. I was driving with the lights on. No NVGs, i dont seem to be able to hold a pair of NVGs for more than a day or two. You are barking up the wrong tree here. If you must know i was north of the Guba inlet. It doesn't matter to me anymore, I am convinced that US 131 is rife with hackers. I'm not going back unless it's with the team, maybe even not then. As far as Syntraxx killing me, as far as i'm concerned, i was shot at constantly for about 3 mins. I would have guessed the first rounds were from a M4 SD then later by MP5SD. I was going in one direction but zig zagging. Syntraxx is suspect. EDIT: for spelling and grammar (such as it is)

ATV holds 2 people, i was alone at the time, my team and i have witnessed teleporting on a seperate occasion. And i recall you being on the server Drakargh or someone with a similar name.

I think the teleporting hack is becoming fairly common.... frustrating my teams efforts to get anywhere on the servers if people are just porting willie nilly. This is not the first time I have seen someone teleport on US 131 as well.

Game economies are very hard to manage and keep balanced. Those who dupe now WILL cheat in the future. To cheat or not to cheat is an ethical quandary that people who cheat will fail to pass time and time again. I say name and shame AND get the ban hammer out. (Until fixed)

I can't believe how many people have ghille suits... it's kind of ridiculous now. Must be a magical ghille suit tree north of Stary somewhere. Or more likely highly duped item.

Various orchards could spawn apples. Same with the little market gardens around the villages could spawn carrots/potatoes? The ability to find and ride horses?... could be a bit of work.

Damn i hate the clans that hide their gear 'off map'. This doesn't look like survival it looks like a regular ARMA 2 game with duping and possible hacking. Where's the survival? What's the point of small groups (non clans) trying to get vehicles when all this hoarding is going on? Especially with the hacks that may be in use. Is this how the game is supposed to be played? Both groups look suss to me.

previously suggested plus mod link for horses : http://dayzmod.com/forum/showthread.php?tid=10410&highlight=horse

Small portable gas cooker as equipment. Cook and warm up. (Louder and less bright than camp fire?) Refill the gas bottle at the many LPG tanks throughout the map. P.S. I am happy to model the gas cooker, and the vegetables & apples from my last idea if the almighty Rocket is keen.

Could replace the cook top and have a mantle (gas lamp) attachment for lighting large areas.

Any plans on restricting how far off map vehicles can go? I have heard a couple of clans boasting that they have 90% of a servers vehicles parked at a secret base 20+ km off map. I find bicycles but never cars on oceanic servers.

NO, its flawed but rolling back an Alpha is silly, you just update it with fixes. One of the pitfalls of making a game for hardcore players/fans alone is that you will discourage new players. Also when making a game you have to take into consideration that your alpha testers (who are very vocal) get more skilled at the game and do not represent the whole market. If you isolate new players with extreme difficulty levels you are going to bite into your own sales and damage the future franchise. For commercial reasons alone I think you should consider the effect of the recent changes.

Yeah, i agree with the lack of equipment being a hassle. It means you have no back story. I think new players are just going to give up pretty quick. The noob screams will be painful to listen to on side channel. Lets hope this no weapons experiment of Rocket's doesn't last long.

I got jumped by 12 zombies at a hunters tower today, they seem to continue to spawn at an alarming rate. Normally i could handle them. But they got me... the last 3 did. Couldn't face spawning without a weapon. Maybe tomorrow.
