JESUSARIUS REX (DayZ)

I would like cars too, but if it takes you two hours to run across the map you're doing something wrong. I can spawn near kamenka and be at kamensk in about an hour, hour and a half tops, and that's WITH looting to get basic supplies. These new kids don't seem to remember how the early versions of the mod were worse than Standalone was sometimes. So many people complain about a buggy alpha. People don't seem to understand what the definition of alpha is. Normally you don't really bug squash until beta. If you don't like the game, play a mod version of DayZ or don't play at all until beta. I stopped playing the standalone during the era a few years ago it ran really bad. Came back a few weeks ago and it runs great besides the random FPS drop bug. Having a great time TBH. Most people have gotten their $30 worth of fun yet still complain. I don't get it. I've had more fun with DayZ than many AAA titles I payed $60 for. Thanks for the update. It's much appreciated.

Wait, is the entire map an island now? Because the original map never had any edges like this

I actually got teleported onto the lower roof of an airfield control tower, and had to jump and it broke my legs lol.

They made two hives for a reason. No offense, but this whole movement against 3rd person is dumb. You have hardcore servers. I personally use both, and like it the way it is. If i want third person, I play regular. If I want a more realistic experience, I play hardcore. Third person isn't "realistic" in the first place, so trying to make it more "fair" is pointless. And so what if you can peak around corners. So can everyone else, so its not really an exploit or unfair advantage.

I can tell you right now the main issues is hardware utilization. Both me and my friend can run full graphics in the woods (270x and gtx 760), but cities we get an average of 20, and our gpus are only at around 50% utilization.

This was a big issue in the mod when they were messing with zombie mechanics. My guess is the dev team is trying to find the right balances of respawn and aggro. I had died from zombies spawning right in front of me (literally) in the mod days, and its happening now too. I go and punch one, and three or four spawn or run from across a town.

So join a day server? There are plenty of them that aren't "40/40". Also, loot it isn't hard to find if you get off the coast..

I think the idea of items persisting after restart is great, however, I think anything dropped by a player should only persist for 3 days to a week to prevent servers from "purging" all items to reduce lag. Like an item in a building will last a week, but an item left in the woods will slowly deteriorate and last 3 days to week depending on the item. Ie a shirt lasts 3 dayz and a guns or box lasts a week.

Honestly the map and compass are completely useless. If the map had the location of water on it then I might have I use for it.

I haven't seen a single hacker, so it's WAY better than the mod.

Not trying to be mean, but anyone who has music on is a fool. Have fun dancing while I sneak up behind you. Maybe you would have lived if you heard my footsteps.

Adding identification literally ruins the game. The whole point of player encounters is to add tension. With skins it completely removes that aspect of DayZ, unless you're straight up in a firefight. And please. The game is SOOOO easy right now it's not even funny. This is a cakewalk compared to the mod, and adding skins would just make it even easier.

my character has been healthy for months.

some people lost there character. some people, like me, had there character rolled back a week.... some like you are apparently just fine. ALSO, the profile did bring my old character back, but then i spawned on the beach when i joined a game. then i rejoined and was back to where i started. 1 week rollback.

i lost my acog and hunting backup... oh well lol. edit: This is the first time i've been annoyed by the alpha.... change it back to steam usernames... please.... also, i can't even put my name in because it's to long...
