Doesn't seem much interest in this :( I'm off to do some zombie slaying, I think it's a good idea, however I think the rules should be changed that you pick the location and it has to be a more populated server for a bit of added risk

Well I'll be up for it I doubt anyone else will, but if I can be arsed I'll youtube it

It was never possible to turn off side chat at any point when I played the mod, it was always there clogging up the bottom corner of the screen And NO Why should I have to make the effort when I'm doing something? Why should I have to stop and mute a player when he starts playing shit music over the whole server? With radios I can choose not to have it on, side chat didn't have that option

I don't miss the 9 year olds screaming words that would get me banned from this forum for writing them here No side chat is a blessing, I think the radios are fine for people who want this kind of chat, but to be fair I always have the radio on and have only heard someone once on it and they were singing, which proves my point really

Well I happened to ind a guy crawling near devils castle (heard shots while up the top, saw zeds running and follow their trail to the tree line where there's a guy crawling, so I figure he has broken legs) I manage to creep up on him as I know where he is and he hadn't gotten far when I found him I got him to put away his m4 and gave him some morphine The moment he had healed himself he looked at me and drew his rifle, I fired as I saw it raise and we knocked each other out When I came too, I took his gun, saline bagged him, and woke him up He wouldn't say anything just put his hands up, I shot him in the leg and left him there with no ammo He begged me to leave him some morphine and his weapon and I said I'll leave it in the castle tower as I wanted to punish his douchbag move the last thing I saw of him was frantically crawling to the tower (which was about 400m) PS: I left no morphine there and dumped his weapon in the woods, and the ammo later on

I always seem to miss out on these things, I would have come along to help fend off any hostiles I don't play too much anymore but these kind of things would bring me back for something interesting to do

Also happens when you join a server and a Badmin decides to kick you, now you have a nice 60 second timer And I've spawned in bleeding while zombies were attacking me before though I've never died from spawning in

The only thing is people are gonna force feed people to health and lock them in buildings, as fun as that might seem for some, waiting for 2 hours to starve to death won't be

The only thing with what you said is the grenade throw How exactly do they work? I've found 3 so far and not a single one exploded when I threw it, I've found 1 flashbang and 2 explosive grenades, each time I pulled the pin and threw it and nothing happened, I can still see the grenade on the floor where it was thrown So what did I do wrong?

I hadn't seen any animals all day while looking for heli crashes and arrived at a small town in the west I don't know what was going on here, but these cows are up to something.............all gathered in this corner of the map I saw no more animals after this, they were all in this little town https://www.flickr.com/photos/127125326@N06/15416657320/

The devs have more important things to fix then a bug that instant deaths you for no reason? Really? Like what?

Yeah can confirm, I had a big friendly operation a long time ago with the CQF and TMW as well as some other friendly survivors, was about 20 of us setting up a outpost of sorts. While looking for other clans to help with security, the UN contacted me and told me to "Immediately hand over control of the operation to them as we couldn't pull it off and we needed their expert skills" After some messages from over 3/4 of the friendly helpers saying they had bad run ins with the UN in the past we didn't bring them along, in the last 2 hours of the operation we revealed our location on the forums to get a bit of last minute action and "conveniently" a group of UN guys logged in and we got attacked by a group Ive also played on a server that had 8-9 UN guys on it and no other players, and ran into a guy, who started shooting at me straight away after I crept up and tried to talk to him, so yeah they are bad news, anyone encountering them should know its not going to end well And PS: We pulled off the operation killing something like 10 of the hostile attackers that tried to takeout the base, helped loads of people and lost only a couple of defenders

In a perfect world yes, but to be honest, with all these hackers that pay for hacks in the name of dayz and the people who make money from it, I doubt BI would take you to court anyway Not saying make money from it, but its unlikely anything is going to happen even if you did, it just wouldn't be worth their time to sue you over it

This happened to me in one of those garage type areas, was a newspawn, had been playing about 1 and 1/2 hours on a night server so there were few people, Had not been shot Got hot by a few zombies, was full healthy, hydrated and energised, I was cold (NOT hypothermia) 5 other players on the server Saw a newspawn at solnichny running towards electro and another looting berezino who also headed south, headed Up to Svet and saw the group of other 3 players at the police station, went to the garages behind as I saw them leave and run across the field to the north east airfield Opened the garage door and moment later I dropped Dead I returned to find all my gear intact, and so know it wasn't the group that shot me As I had only stopped watching them 5 seconds before that and they were 100m at least and running the opposite way As for the other players, a newspawn would have taken my gun and other supplies, as by killing themselves would be the only way to get back up north so quick after I spotted them heading south This is not the first time I've encountered This bug, it's just the first time I can say with any certainty that it wasn't a player or Zombie, and something else entirely The first 3-4 times I assumed I'd been shot, but this time I apparently died for no reason and had similar "My leg is in pain" moments before hand

Just awesome

This is why I've said a million times Dayz was a great idea, but it's potential as an actual open world zombie survival game has been given to the wrong crowd of gamers It's clear that so few people will be interested in more than the coast Why not stop kidding themselves and cater for the COD crowd, cut off the map at berezino and call the game 'Banditz' because let's be honest, that's all it's ever going to be

You obviously didn't play the famous Dayz Mod patch of doom, where for 3 whole days zombies killed you in 6-7 hits and if they didn't you got an infection, with hardly any antibiotics and food For those 3 days only 1 of about 30 player encounters was hostile, and he died as I laughed at zombies swarming him in seconds Geared players and groups died in minutes if they got hit just once as infection was a deatrap and you needed someone else to keep your blood level up For a few days, the mod was more brutal then you could imagine, then the tears flooded the forums and it was nerfed So no, you are wrong, a lot of people would change their gameplay style, those that didn't eiether cried on te forums or were stuck on the coast respawning Maybe you won't, but a lot of people did and would if the game was that hard

So what your saying is: I have experience developing code and scripting for other games as part of a team means I have 0% any idea what its like to spend 8-9 hours a day (didn't have a job at the time) writing thousands of lines of code, creating new textures, meshes? So opposed to having no experience to having done that for nearly a year, you think im no better informed than someone who has never delved into modding at all? You have awesome logic

I understand how the development process works, ive modded a lot in the past (not the same, but its all I got) and spent over a year on one mod And if there were major problems like what ive seen, we called back the update and fixed it.....not add more features that made more problems And I never had any trouble with anyone, I never got any complaints by doing it this way

Because I played for 2 years on the mod and on the SA since it came out and up to about 2 months ago and gave up on waiting for decent development and have been checking in each couple of weeks on the stable forum to see whats new and try out the updates, that's what I mean by not playing it When I stopped playing there was no problem with melee and no problem with zombies Played it and instantly found a retardedly bugged melee system and zombies much worse than they were before so: zombies have gotten worse than since I last played Melee system gotten far worse Sorry I didn't stalk the development team and read every post they every made to make you happy, next time ill be sure to spend 2-3 hours wasting my time looking through every post to make sure that if I happen to talk to you again that you will be 100% happy with everything I had to say you know or you could stop being so narrow minded and actually open your eyes to the fact that not everyone is a perfect example of a human being like yourself and that I just took a quick look back at the game and immediately got put off by the fact that there are still bugs from when the game was released that have received almost no attention The world exists in more than black and white and not just YOUR opinion and the retards / trolls, the world is more complicated

Don't worry im done here

Again read my posts I'm happy with the games it's good I'm unhappy with the way the development team handles it That isn't covered by ANY alpha or disclaimer message Unless the development team are in "alpha" as well, I have every right to say: I think they are doing a shitty job at fixing a GOOD game that has bugs

I'm sorry but I will have to forgive you for your attempt at a suttle insult because you have misunderstood meAfter reading the disclaimer at your request (over and over again to be sure) it makes no mention of my issue I will forgive your stupidity this one time in the hope you will understand me I am not bothered in the slightest by the bugs, this is to be expected I'm am bothered by the fact that the development team is not actually addressing the problems Perhaps this will help you Good game with bugs + bad development team = little progress made Bad game + excellent development team = game that will be fixed eventually In my opinion dayz is a good game with a team that arnt they great Nearly a year on and it shows with the lack of actual bug fixing, I follow a lot of alpha games and this is by far one of the worst for this problem Show me where the disclaimer covers the development team not fixing what they have already broken and not bothering to do their job (examples include the recent melee system screwup and the fact even sidestepping a zombie means they still hit you from 5 feet away, this Could be solved by reverting back but noooo instead they just leave it in there, a good team would recall and go to an older version once they know it's a major problem) Fact: it doesn't I also don't actually play this game, I played it once yesterday after monthes away and saw it had gotten worse

And at which point does it cross the line from "unfinished" to "outright scam" ? 1 year? 5? I've a feeling some of you will still be here in 5 years claiming "alpha"

Well seeing as what's important in life is different for everyone that's kinda irrelevant
