"In simple terms, it is the use of out-of-game information or resources to affect one's in-game decisions." "Within actual entertainment games, the term metagame is used to describe [...] a game system layered over the game system, to increase enjoyable complexity [...]" Are you trying to troll me? Hint: a word's meaning depends on the context

How is this different from bandit skins? You still have the problem of players being seen as bandits cause of self defense

Hoping that you'd quote that definition from wikipedia, which is really not what metagaming means in a computergame context, therefore implying that you are actually the one who doesn't know what metagame means Just read the games section of that article

Hahaha, oh wow, I was hoping you'd do that. Might wanna read the "Games" section of that wikipedia article

Please enlighten me, what does metagame really mean?

ffs, people sometimes rocket himself said that the game is lacking some kind of proper endgame / metagame If you really can't figure out the meaning of "endgame" in an openworld-sandboxy context, why do you even bother replying to a perfectly valid concern

Is berezino really that dangerous for you guys? I usually just sprint through the whole town, attract all the zombies and then either gun them down or just run through a building, so i am anything but stealthy - never got shot, even on 40+ servers Well, maybe we germans are just less violent people (haha, oh wow)

Lol, are you talking about that car nearby solnichniy?

Meh, I'm sorry I had to kill you, but please understand that my bro and i saw this car near solnichniy first and we started repairing it first actually wanted to let you live, but when I saw you put on that last wheel i was afraid that you'd just hop in and drive away Anyway, feeling bad about this, it seems like you put a lot of time into the repairs, so just in case you actually really read this, leave a message on a sidenote: a system with unique playernames that allows us to send messages outside the game would be kinda awesome

Yeah, we came across the same problem (see http://dayzmod.com/forum/index.php?/topic/33897-whats-endgame-metagame-gonna-be-like/ ). At this point you can pretty much just hunt other players until we get the standalone version which is hopefully gonna introduce stuff like player built structures

FFS, in every thread i have to read your copy/paste BS just stop it, you arent funny, you arent clever, you're annoying

My friend and I are still fairly new to this game, but once we learned where we get medical supplies and military gear, we're kinda out of things to do, especially now that we realized that zombies are harmless, we don't even bother being sneaky when looting a town Anyway, this made me realize that dayz seems to be lacking some kind of deep metagame. Just take a look at eve and the awesome stuff that goes on over there, i think dayz has even greater potential since trust is so much more important here and we have even greater freedom in our sandbox. DayZ (so far) seems to us like it's just about gearing up (once you know where to loot that's not really a challenge anymore), but once you have all that nice loot you more or less won the game until you die and start gearing up again. So, what's the plan? I've read rumors of player built bases (!AWESOME!) and the likes, but it seems it's all just hearsay. Is it known what directions rocket wants to take this mod to, the next "big thing" that will be added to add more depth to the "end" (yes, i know)-game that geared up players can do? any eta for player built structures? Playing Sniper'n'Spotter in cherno just gets old

I think the problem is that it's way too easy to get military gear. Searching for military weapons (even the most basic ones like the glock) could be a good "end"game goal itself, right now all you have to do is sprint to a military camp and loot. It would be cool if getting military weapons would require a squad / group of people and some luck to find might also change the kill on sight mentality

Yeah, we've done most of that stuff, except the whole slave-master thing, we usually die when encountering other players Arent helis disabled? Thanks for that vid, sounds like we'll have to wait for standalone before we get to see proper building mechanics

Alright, so now that the game ate our tent we just dont know where we should look for a new one :/ My friend and i cleared so many towns, we even found an atv (wow, that thing really burns through fuel) and !two! tent-camps with military gear (which we looted), but we just can't find one single tent Is there any town (if possible not so far from coast) where we'd have a higher chance of finding one? Like, maybe some town with particularly many lootpoints that can spawn tents

Oh, wow, we've avoided large cities so far, no wonder we didnt find any. Anyway, definitely gonna check out supermarkets then, but where would we find multitiered buildings? Larger cities like elektro?

So first the tent ate my M1014, now the game ate my tent? Wtf? :(
