KOS exists as predominantly as it does now for one reason: Zombies aren't enough of a threat, people create threats with other players. If working with others was more beneficial than killing them, Kos would drastically reduce. encourage people to be quiet.make zombies less aware of stealthy people, more aware of noisy ones. Gunshots should be major dinner bells.add so many zombies that starting any skirmish is dangerous. Shooting someone should draw every zed within a kilometer at a full run. There aren't enough zeds right now.Have zombies be attracted to blood, bleeding and bodies. they should frenzy for flesh like a gunshot. make players hesitate to ring the dinner bell.make guns as plentiful as you want, keep ammo very scarce. Pretend most of it got used during the outbreak and ensuing panic.Having everyone with a gun on their back leaves people wondering if they have ammo and could shoot back.again, add more zombies.then add more for emphasis. /2cents

tip: you can store things in the pockets of clothing, then place the clothing in your backpack and it wont take any more room than if the pockets were empty. you cant access pockets when its stored. To retrieve said items, drop the clothing on the ground, take or swap items into the pockets and return the clothing i your pack. e.g. cargo pants have 6 slots but take up 4 in inventory.

this happens everytime i change video settings out of game. you have to shut down the game completely and restart it.

i have suggested in other threads a 3.5 hour day/night cycle so people who play daily (lets say evenings for those who work like me) would be able to experience both day and night in a typical 4-5 hour session. if the game only caters to people who play 18 hours a day, it will drive away a large percentage of the playerbase. i think 3.5 hours so that you wont get the same time from one day to the next.

threw an application in as well. see ya tonight!

lol i can see it now. people waiting on the coast to kidnap and drain new spawns of their blood to fill blood bags. oh, the whining will be epic!

You don't consider Orlok himself saying that its a known issue that loots and zombies only respawn on server restart an acceptable level of confirmation? no, "but whatever" to you...

i didn't want to have to do the work You should have done, but: http://forums.dayzgame.com/index.php?/topic/154397-not-sure-if-bug-or/?p=1549233 "Loot Spawns and Zed Spawns were a pre known issue. Always were gonna be altered. Solution for now is to avoid popular areas as "looters" are scraping up everything. Servers should "refill" every 4ish hours. "

it has been confirmed on more than a dozen posts on the subject so far... search "loot on restart" and enjoy the bountiful redundancy...

I am quite sure the majority of players play at roughly the same time every day. If a typical (non-mom's-basement-dwelling) player gets 4-6 hours a day to play the game, a 3.5 hour day/night cycle would be a preferable option. Because 3.5 doesn't divide evenly into 24, it will hardly ever be the same time (in server) for people who start playing at roughly the same time daily. I get on after i work, take care of the family, and do chores. On a 24 hour cycle (linked to real time), any server that i decide to frequent regularly will always be the same time when i get in - so it will always be day or night at my regular playtime.. everyone should have a chance to experience day and night in a typical game session. 3.5 hours is more than enough to enjoy both.

i'll be popping in tonight. "Hide yo women, hide yo chil'ren, Bubba is on his way!" seriously, i'm looking for a good group of adults to wander Cherno with.

hehe, if food and drink can run on a 5 minute cycle, i don't see why day/night can't be on a 4 hour cycle....

if multiple people have been passing through the supermarket since the last restart it IS entirely possible it is empty. Just wait until loot respawning is fixed as Rocket said.

So... the lesson here is: "Don't bring a knife to a gunfight" Seriously though, if you are armed with a melee weapon and encounter a survivor with a gun: runsneak up on em and hit them on the headfight head on and die. seems like it works to me.

luckily the game isn't out yet and this is only a pre-order with alpha access! ;)

what did Dean say that gave you the impression the alpha would beflawless? no, you should never assume anything. and again, what were you personally told to make things different from reality? my comments are anything but ignorant. The posts you and your fellow whiners make are the result of ignorance. i am just pointing that ignorance out.

no. the price you pay now is the only one you will pay.

and you could have waited 24 hours before committing to buying it and read some reviews, but ... you didn't...dur dur

whining about shit everyone with common sense already knew and knows is not criticism and it is certainly not constructive.

I have never seen a development company more open and honest than BI. They said when the basic architecture was done they would go into alpha so we could all develop the game together.. Everything that everyone is bitching about was covered before they went live with alpha, yet everyone complaining seems to have bought the game after living in a cave for the last year. they said many of the core features would not be done or even working when they released it. they said zombies were unfinished and sparse. they said many of the mechanics were works in progress or palceholder they publicly asked people NOT to buy it at alpha if they wanted a finished game. and they buy it anyway.....then cry. worse part is it has been 24 hours and the crying has only started...

you paid to preorder a game that will be out next year. you have early access. game is not done. you got what you paid for... get over it please

then we have a lot of illiterate, self-entitled cry babies. no one forced you to buy the game. next time you'll think twice about supporting a game in development and thinking you get a full game for cheap.

ill have to check my fps with something, but its baby smooth so its gotta be at least 35+ fps. i haven't seen any choppiness yet.

so far i am very impressed with how smooth and stable it is. i am aware of the standing issues and am not too attached to my loot yet. i will die from bugsi will die from ignorancei will die from players with penis envyi will have a great time. the SA (on day 1) is 1000x better than the mod after a year.

Perfect example of what rocket meant when he said "DON'T BUY INTO ALPHA" unless you are ready to be part of something shitty for a significant time.... so basically: he warned youyou bought it anywayyou didnt find NVGs in the first 5 minutesyou died several horrible deathsyou complain without giving any examples of what YOU think went wrong.
