phL (DayZ)

it's not your fault this is where DayZ just fails...

my thoughts... - keep it 100% sandbox, no skills, no artificial installments -> remove bandit/hero skins - make gameplay really hard: no easy losing zeds, rare items/ammo, always struggle to survive, firing a rifle should be heard miles away (depending on terrain...) attracting lots of zeds. - your only goal must be to stay alive at all cost. and that should be not as easy as it is now. beeing save and geared up should not be a normal thing in dayz... - real permadeath (no hoarding, no easy sk if kamenka spawn...), f.e. join only once a day^^ - benefits from interaction (risk vs. reward), things that are easier together (f.e. one distracts zeds, other loots) - stealth is the way of the survivor - maybe make "casual" and "hardcore" difficulty to get rid of 3rdp and other stuff without loosing sales - pvp (and kos) is part of the game, just make it harder

zombie apocalypse survival game? 360 noscope bitch!!!11

i use this one: http://www.cherry.de/cid/b2b_keyboards_CyMotion_EXPERT.htm i played mostly fast FPS like quake etc. and i am totally satisfied with this keyboard cheap and relieable, but everyone has got different taste...

not really skilled banditry.. still legit in dayz. if this is one of the most entertaining things to get out of the game, how boring it must be..

in the end i see no reason to live/hoard/buy/sell/kos/whatever. this kind of comes with the sandbox system. the only thing that "somehow measures surviving skill" is the days i live. but there is no point in that atm... it would be gread if there was a system/mechanism that surviving (or "the game") becomes more challenging every day i live. poor example: i start with cancer or whatever and it becomes harder to treat every day. like i need more supplies, medic etc. to stay alive. im just bored of entertaining myself in this box.

is it always that foggy, like see 50m?

[bored] it would be nice if there was any long-term motivation/goal... which is not eliminating the sandbox thing. i can't think of anything and i hate it. [still bored]

did anything happen, the server is always empty?

the carebear: so i was playing on a low-pop vanilla newbie friendly server for some easy daylight tent testing. talking in side with few other friendlies, offering help, asking for tents. a new player joined and asked if anyone needs help/lift/etc. "i need a tent, will give you anything.." >>"ok my mate comes on in a min, we have heli and bring you tent, give you ride, we care so much.." "k im in berezino, meet me there" >>"go to hospital roof, its easy for us to land" hear chopper, go to roof, do the friendly dance (finally a tent, i was checking all the shops twice, found nothing) BAM BAM BAM "Welcome to DayZ!" the bandit: log on to this n00b server where i have camp with heli. find victim via sidechat. excellent, im gonna teach this noob a lesson about dayz huehue. wait for pilot to log on. meet at berezino, lure noob to roof, hes dancing lol BAM BAM BAM "Welcome to DayZ!" fly back to camp, log off - DayZ this is my story.

thats what i was thinking when this crazy shit went down

SSD helps with loading the huge amount of textures.. is what i heard (dont know if mod or SA was meant). however, i don't have a clue, i play every game on low settings.

try dayz despair.

u made 7 holes with that one bullet too?

tents are awesome again, have fun finding it :lol: it's 2 weeks+ and untouched or smart bandit stealing only a few things. although it's not very well hidden... but yea i always worry about grenade-trap when going there.. i still dont know how they look. hope i will find out soon.

is it 7 days with no interaction until they are cleared, or how long does it take?

my tent is fine too :) also, it's a great atmosphere playing dayz despair. the only "mod" that really gives me the feeling of beeing constantly in need of something. especially at night. for me this feeling is the key to not get bored with dayz. once you go despair, you can't go back. thx for this and keep up the good work!

this server offers a great and unique dayz experience. plz don't let it die :)

i think the whole health system is f...ed up, i cant run around in the zombie apocalypse filling up blood with 5 kg of chips.. im eating all the time. that sucks. the whole blood regeneration thing needs much more time and effort imo. as many other things. and wtf is going on with the food all over the place, is this a joke?

is it happening? a problem might be that you live alone in the woods. if the goal is just to survive.

easy solution for me: if zombie threat >> player threat, problem solved. imo you dont need to eliminate KoS, just make it harder (risk vs. reward...)

hi, i am looking for a teammate who wants to start playing on 1st person hardcore servers. i'm 29 and just started playing 1st person only. it adds so much to the game for me but servers and players are rare and it gets boring on my own. i am german and a generally friendly player but i am up to anything to spice up the dayz experience. just not pure senseless killing. so if you wanna try out 1st person with me, contact me via pm or add my skype: carlosvandb

sad but true. let's see what the new patch brings

i want to be forced to use the hard way by making the hard way default for all players. but i hope rocket and co. won't listen to the "community" and just do their thing.

can't stand your buddy not listening to you... it's awful to hear you two talking. even more than see you shooting^^
