*You're Ok, first ALPHA. Now, everything you have posted will be fixed/tweaked by things which have been outlined in status reports. There are many many OLD problems and bugs which MUST WAIT FOR LARGER CHANGES TO TAKE PLACE before the smaller related components are tweaked or COMPLETELY REPLACED. Most of the things you are concerned with are effected by PLACEHOLDER elements from the mod or coded into old script around old mechanics. You're fucking welcome. :D

This is one of the few major issues I have with DayZ. For me it's not that they implemented dynamic infected spawning it's that it took so long for them to realize that they needed to use a dynamic spawn system which cost time developing said system.... Now if I see pop in of infected and empty cities from a distance in 1.0, I will be disappointed.

Thanks devs/all! Hicks really nailed his section, good stuff, well put. I can't imagine having new environmental elements.... We fell in love with Chernarus in the mod, then again when the Standalone released, once more with the Enfusion renderer, and now she gets a massive modern make over. If only every girlfriend got this much sexier over time; wow! :D

DayZ is so far from complete that your current experience should be no indication of future experiences. This includes server populations and player dispersal. If/when you take a break from DayZ and lose track of the flow of players based on map changes and new map features and loot spawns you may find yourself alone more often. These 2 things will always be true tho.... 1. If you're looking for rinse and repeat PvP (see also CoD), high pop 3PP servers have the most. 2. For your best chances at an interaction other than a firefight a low pop 1PP server on a private hive is best. I still play on public 1PP and try to talk first before firing but it is a risky practice, keeping immersion. *You will not hear a V3S or any vehicle in stable as they are currently only being tested in the Experimental branch.

Thanks devs/all! Another great report! There has been a lot of talk about vehicle synch but overall traction simulation, torque, and the transitions between gears could use A LOT of love.

\m/ More patches please. THANK YOU

I've purely just waited for the rain to stop when caught in improper gear. Under a tree, in any structure. As long as you aren't on the brink of starving to death you can usually wait out most storms. People are terribly impatient and need CoD NOW!

Well, you may not like that the lead developer said something to the effect of, "I don't care if just 12 people end playing Vanilla 1.0.". That was directed at the shooter community after complaining about PvE mechanics. When you've dealt with the far less eloquent and far less objective (than yourself) massive influx of revolving door population here who rarely know anything about the dev process and merely scream when they can't get an M4 in -2 hours, you may find your patience thin and choice of words unapologetic at best. Realism is not what this project aims for, authenticity while retaining fun factor is the goal. There really is no middle ground between what I understand is a feature complete Vanilla 1.0 and what you would likely prefer. The only solution is modding..... for you (or me if Vanilla isn't to my liking!). You may not enjoy how much time you need to spend finding food, getting healthy, and staying healthy. Will you let the rest of your group build your base/camp and fill it with loot never taking the time yourself? ^This is my biggest issue with the future of clans personally. You can have your friends find all your gear and then go PvP people who actually earned their stuff and are truly invested in the lives of their characters. I'm not sure how old you are but FPS games have always been the most repetitive and the least creative genre and the diverse intelligent gamers I meet DO NOT come out of that community. I do not have to denounce people who completely remove themselves from the rest of the gaming world at large and ONLY play shooters. They have invalidated their contributions (short of graphical and performance gains, shooters have added very little in the last 20 years), by discounting all other types of games as "kiddy". Now please tell me how you enjoy, Mario platforming games, point and click adventures, party games, puzzle games, and role playing games.... because something tells me you most likely don't. What does that mean? Someone who enjoys a dynamic, creative gaming experience on a regular basis surely would have more creative ideas about what constitutes fun in games. Those people who only enjoy one super aggressive single minded style of game are going to try to force that on the rest without a single thought for other ways of interacting (even if it's merely talking before shooting, or holding someone up, *balls required). Then they burn out at +/- 500 hours, declare themselves done with DayZ, and a master of DayZ, or some other horseshit, and to them it's old news, broken, and will never be finished, then they simply move on to Gears of War 2/3/4 ad infinitum.

Didn't we just see a new video of 3PP that zooms into your back when approaching walls etc? I thought I saw something recently. As far as I can remember, they are working on changing it from the way it is.

I would love to hear about how many hours he has in this unplayable game. -_-

To me, this is the best argument to keep 3PP (which will never go away). However, increased frame rates may help you with this in the future.

Yeah, I realized what you meant but it was not the underlying meaning, I was going for more of the barbarian context.

I know, the ancient Mongols will be horribly offended for being equated to CoD kiddies.

My problem with 3PP is that it turns the infected patterns in towns into RTS view and makes avoiding them 100x easier. DayZ is intended to be played in 1PP only for full immersion as stated by numerous devs in multiple status reports begging you to try 1PP. 3PP is easy mode (literally) left over from ARMA2 because they could not strip it out of the mod initially. People then felt safe and grew accustomed to 3PP and had a major backlash when 3PP is considered to be changed (which it is). 3PP is ridiculous to me and spoils the DayZ experience top to bottom.

I'm resentful for the stale, idiotic genre that is shooters. Nothing new in the genre has really been introduced to make, "aim, shoot, repeat", a dynamic formula for replay value. Sprite based RNG games have done more for gaming in the last 10 years than shooters have done since GoldenEye 64. I'm a GAMER, I do not consider most shooters-only players really gamers at all. I would be SHOCKED if you had what I would consider "good taste" in games outside of DayZ, SHOCKED. The lack of features in ALPHA has facilitated and yes coddled the shooter community into thinking DayZ is just that, a shooter. I do not blame Bohemia for milking these monkeys* for every penny they are worth and know it will just go to making my survival horror game even better. Regards (That guy who has been having this conversation for longer than you can fathom and only gets proven more right with every update and status report.)

I know you call men feminists like it's an insult. That's all the ignorant horse shit I need to see. Also, careful they don't give me the ban stick one day, or it might be.... "Buakaw!", for you.

Did you happen to glance my forum join date? I know it's difficult for you to equate my words with passion and not an anxiety attack but there it is, I am more passionate about DayZ than you've likely been about anything in your life. (And my writing skills far exceed your own tongue in cheek, vapid content, lack of perspective, self serving, pointless, attempts at discourse.) "Surviving" knuckle headed mental children who can't shoot straight is not my problem. Your lack of imagination and poor understanding of what constitutes fun drags DayZ down to the level of CoD. I do not "know" Kirov outside of the forum and we've never spoke outside of a thread, I could hardly call him a friend (though he makes good quality contributions when he posts), again your wholesale ignorance shines through. I take breaks from DayZ (over the last 4.5 years, do you see that Skippy? I've forgotten more about DayZ dev than you know) when the patches no longer have new or testable content for myself and friends to work on. See, while you run around with your dick in your hand, patting your friends on the back for sniping a guy with a garden hoe, I am out working on the cutting edge of the project and supplying the devs with feedback. ^For years man; it's obvious you have no idea what I've dealt with on this forum over the last 4.5 years either, DO YOU? I have seen 100's of your type burnout, meltdown, and LEAVE; and I've forgotten them just as fast as they've arrived. You're another wanna be tough guy, who thinks his griefing is the pinnacle of bad assery and makes DayZ so much more difficult. The devs will school you as to what Vanilla DayZ will be, I do not have to do that. We can debate this until blue in the face but that last word resides with Bohemia. You sir are..... mod bound! Have a nice trip, Ramboner.

Misleading title is misleading. That's a much more easily defensible position than I would have assumed. Did you think to try lobbing your friends grenade down or were you content with just covering the stairs? Well done for you, I guess. Too bad for your buddy....

Absolutely NOT the same thing. Nobody called you an asshole. They did call you a fuck though. If you make bigoted remarks you should be dealt with as such, bigot. I guarantee by your statements that your relations with the opposite sex play out like a retarded shit show of abuse and head games. I wasn't going to report that post but yeah I think I will, and I'll let the FEMALE community manager decide what you deserve. @Baty Alquawen

KoSers (tossers) are GRIEFERS and burn out WAAAAAAY faster than the truly dedicated players. KoSers (tossers) are GRIEFERS. KoSers (tossers) are GRIEFERS. There is little difference between the KoS guy and my 1yr old nephew who PvP's in minecraft. They pay off is the same for both of you. Soon enough DayZ will punish casuals who have only 2 hours a day to play. The tears have already started to flow and a deluge will be upon us with the survival features left to be put in place. HOW DO YOU FEEL ABOUT WEIGHT AND STAMINA CoD fuckers?

You must be a real charmer.

While players will always be the most dangerous single element they are not the biggest element or most constant element to survive in a finished balanced DayZ 1.0. "This incomplete car body floats so it must be a boat. Even when they put the wheels on and it no longer floats, I'm going to insist it's a boat." "This sliver of steel can cut like a knife so it must be a knife. Even when they cut prongs into it to make it a fork and it no longer cuts, I'm going to insist it's a knife." Does DayZ currently function well as a crappy, borked, loot and shoot? Yes. Will vanilla DayZ 1.0 function well as an instant gratification shooter? God I fucking hope not.

Do you even realize that your entire stance and statements as a whole can be completely discounted with one word....? ALPHA Are you completely unable to envision how 1.0 will play? Seriously un-fucking-believeable. Keep drinking your own Kool-Aid and when you say vanilla is stupid and you end up just playing modded DayZ you'll get to tell yourself you were right based on how many people play mods over vanilla (pure DayZ), so you get to be right in your own little world no matter what!
