THE PROOF is in the popularity of the mod ...god use your brain. I wont spoon feed you it anymore... if you cant comprehend it then you don't deserve to make an opinion on it or try to make my facts and opinions invalid. Im not trying to prove anything ....its already been proven in itself . end of

Anyways im done with explaining why the game should go back to basics and simplicity ...i have the facts and you cant dispute those no matter if your a dev or just another player. Back to shoes then ...are their durability/degradation currently measured by time ? or are they/should they be measured by distance and terrain/weather? because obviously if you use them alot and through tough terrain then they would degrade much faster ! or is that too complex ? i don't know where the line is drawn anymore because if your trying to make it realistic then you must go all in or its not actually realistic which defeats the point of making it realistic at all.

Back it up with proof ? I have ...many many times you must not be able to comprehend some simple facts and figures hahaha sad really. You see your the one that has no facts or proof ...your one of those people i was talking about above ....let me quote it here as it seems you have problems reading as you couldnt find the proof/facts from my previous posts. This is you (one of those people): "Of course there are posts asking for more complexity ....but they are a very very small minority of the player base but makes it seem like more because they make themselves heard as they post on forums which most people don't and they tell everyone else who does post on the forums but that dont agree with them and tries to speak up against them and the devs ideas to go play something else or try make there point/opinion seem invalid by stating some crap that in itself if not valid" "Now im not so easily pushed aside ..i deal with these type of people all the time and iv been a part of the community in dayz from the very beginning and when i say something i back it up with the facts which most people on this forums who tell the others to go away cant seem to do" There you go pal.

Of course there are posts asking for more complexity ....but they are a very very small minority of the player base but makes it seem like more because they make themselves heard as they post on forums which most people don't and they tell everyone else who does post on the forums but that dont agree with them and tries to speak up against them and the devs ideas to go play something else or try make there point/opinion seem invalid by stating some crap that in itself if not valid. Now im not so easily pushed aside ..i deal with these type of people all the time and iv been a part of the community in dayz from the very beginning and when i say something i back it up with the facts which most people on this forums who tell the others to go away cant seem to do. "The game itself is already fun AND popular, boyo, as evidenced by it's sales figures." Actually as evidenced by its sale figures...the mod made it popular and got the standalone its sales ....the mod was simple and fun hence its popularity.... BOYO So yes what i want is what the majority of the community wants and that's simplicity and fun with some realism....as shown by the sales figures of the standalone which was made popular by the mod and ill state it again the mod was made popular because its its simplicity gameplay wise. Now again there is room to make things more realistic and in depth and keep it fun but when you go overboard and makes things too complex and too realistic ...the game isnt fun anymore and its not what made the game popular. The facts are there.

You have not read and understood what i wrote if you haven't seen the facts. Down to its simplest form the fact is that what made this game popular was the mod ...and what made the mod popular was the gameplay (not what people "heard" the game was) within the mod itself. Its simplicity to all elements of the game ..it had a bit of everything which was fun because it wasn't too much in-depth and im not saying there wasn't room to add more in-depth stuff but lets take the boots for example ...it should have stopped at them being able to degrade down to damage from bullets or something but going further to things such as degrading over time and possibly even further down the line and the direction that you guys seem to have headed is that you'll add even more in-depth stuff such as foot size and infections due to shoes that don't fit etc.Thats too much complexity and its not what made the game popular and this is just one example of one small feature you have added thats already way to complex...you also have your hospital loot etc such as blood bags and blood type....just way to overboard. Go back to basics and what made the game fun/popular .

"Welcome to the world of DayZ, hit by a new and presently unknown infection which has wiped out most of the world's population. You are one of the few that have survived and now you must search this new wasteland in order to fight for your life against what is left of the indigenous population now infected with the disease. Go solo, team up with friends or take on the world, as you choose your path in this brutal and chilling landscape using whatever means you stumble upon to survive." That is written in a way to get people to play the game "this is again what you "HEARD" ...there obviously going to make it sound great to hype it and you asked does it say the focus is on PVP ? well whether you like or not thats what you got ...it doesn't say either that the game is not focused on pvp ...also doesn't mention its its focused on pve or not and thats another fact ..one of many that i have to back myself up. Anyways lets apply that sales statement to the mod ..still fits in with exactly what the mod offered and how simple was the mod ? YES AGAIN I HAVE THE FACTS.

No ..what YOU cant get through YOUR head is that i know what made the game popular and i have the facts to back that up and so yes i do represent the majority of the playerbase whether you like it or not ...when i say the game was made popular by the mod and what the mod itself was gameplay wise etc and not on what people "heard" the game was im fully correct as yet again like i said above if people didn't like the mod then the mod would have died and we wouldn't even be talking about a standalone. And you too seem to think that you speak for the playerbase when you say that my opinions are wrong ....when you cant even back yourself up with facts. Im more inclined to say i can and do represent the playerbase much more than you ever will simply because i have the facts and the fact is the game was made popular by the mod and the mod didnt have all this indept crap like boots. Now i myself am not against adding things like boots but when you start adding more and more crap indepth wise onto it it just takes away from what made the game popular and that was its simplicity etc. Kill zombies ...kill players or team with players ...loot essential stuff like food and survive. Survive in itself varies by what you mean when you say survive....people survived just fine with killing some animals looting some simple supermarkets and hospitals and they would have all they need and that was fun hence the game was popular.

HAHA WHAT ....that is and what the game has ALWAYS been so no they are not misinformed fools you would in fact be the misinformed one...and iv played the mod since its release and watched these forums for just as long. There was a very small window of time when the mod was released where it wasnt all pvp and bloodbath and that's because people where learning the game ...which only took a week or so and even in that week pvp and kos where still there to a large degree. Again its what made the game popular like i said above ..if people didn't like it then the mod would have died and we wouldn't even be talking about a standalone.

well then u didnt play the mod and you dont know what made it popular so again like i said its not what people "heard" that made the game popular it was "the game itself and how people played it " when it was a mod...if people did not like the game at that time then it would never have gotten popular ...and no its not "essential" to have this much indepth in a game.

Does it surprise me ? of course not that's why i said it :S But going that much in depth is just silly.

What you heard and what you got are 2 different things ....you heard it was a survival game set in the zombie apocalypse....what you got for the most part in the mod was a pvp game where people go around griefing, with some mildly-associated zombies and survival for flavor..... yet you continued to play it on what you where given not what you heard = thats what made the game popular. If people didn't like the game for what made it popular then they would have probably stopped playing as it was not the game they "heard" so yes i think regardless of what you say that's what the playerbase bought into and why the game continued to be so popular....they bought into the game itself at the time it was a mod and not what they "heard". Anyways you say "heard" but i bet most people saw the gameplay for themselves from videos streams and watching friends play before they bought the game. So more likely that they did actually buy into the game knowing it was going to be pvp with people griefing more than the "survival game set in the zombie apocalypse" of what you say they "heard"

The next feature to be added with shoes is ...character shoe size id say....no doubt it will be here soon enough .such sillyness. And along with this feature will be the spam messages ..... these shoes feel to small/big. your feet hurt. your feet stink. your feet bleed. your feet are infected. your leg is infected. you need to chop off your leg. your penis has fell off. Tbh im just waiting/hoping modders get full modding capability sooner rather than later because no doubt they will strip all this stuff away or change most of the variables to make the game the way it should have been made.

You could just play minecraft if you want to play survival, you know ? minecraft has nearly everything you trying to put into dayz. Building ...durability on cloths... crafting and food etc People bought this game to kill zombies ...shoot people and loot some main gear and survive along the way. THAT is what made the game popular not all this stuff the devs are adding in.

Its always been very playable lol.
