Deadcow

I play lone wolf. I raid camps, deer stands and airfields when i need supplies. I have used the same weapons for weeks because i like them. I kill almost anyone i see, and i have taken something from nearly every single one. I enjoy having good stats, i enjoy searching for and finding good equipment, i get pissed when people act like bitches. So to summarize, I dont play with a group, i strive to get good stats, and gear is very important to me. According to you i am playing the game wrong. Care to enlighten me on how i can do better in your eyes? Nothing would please me more than changing what i do and like to fit in to your narrow minded view of how everyone should play.

Half of the zed you see are women... its russia, remember?

I was starving, losing blood quickly due to my lack of food. Suddenly i spot a bunny... and I KILLED IT!!! I salted the flesh with my tears as i cooked and ate it. My body survived, but my soul died that day.

I will pay whatever price Rocket/Devs/publisher(if there is one) deem necessary. This is an amazing game and i have no problem forking up some cash for the standalone. That said, i despise the pay to play and free to play buisness models. I am an old school gamer and i think you should only have to pay for a game once. DLC is the only thing i will pay for, but only because it adds content to the game, much like a sequel only more like a 1.5 version. If i like a franchise i will buy any sequel, prequel, or whatever i can get my hands on, but once i buy it i wanna be able to play it without getting nickeled and dimed over every little thing. I would gladly pay $30(example price) for DayZ standalone, as long as i can play it just like i play it now. Hop on and have full access to everything everyone else does, for days, weeks, months, even years assuming there are still servers available. If down the road some DayZ DLC is released, maybe a new map with new zeds, weapons, tools etc, i would be ok with paying $10 for that addon. In my mind that is a like a mini-sequel. I will not pay a monthly fee, i will not pay $3 for an ammo refill, or $10 to unlock certain guns. or $5 to get a purple dinosaur avatar. Keep that crap in the facebook games.

The audible range is greater than the spawn range. The only way to get the zed to spawn is to get close enough that they can hear you when you fire your weapon. The only solution at this point is to use silenced weapons, stealth crawl the entire way, or just haul ass and hope one doesnt get close enough to break your leg before you can lose them in a building.

its summer, everything goes to hell when the kids arnt at school.

Real or no, if i came up on a dude and instead of shooting me he threw his pistol at me... i would lol so hard and just let him go. Freakin priceless

3rd person should be kept - I hate 1st person. It hurts my head and i am not a fan of the ALT key look around system. Nametags should be removed - Nametags are an exploit IMO, if you are playing with a friend you should use communication to coordinate locations to prevent friendly fire. Using nametags to determine range is a huge exploit that makes the range finder useless. Crosshairs - i am on the fence with this one and would like to see something selective depending on the weapon. Rifles should not have cross hairs since they are fairly accurate weapons that require a scope or iron sights to aim. Shotguns on the other hand should still have them. Firing a shotgun from the hip is pretty standard, even with slugs. When a zed/player is right on top of you it can be tough to aim with sights, but blasting em in the face with a shotgun wouldnt require aiming down the signs. This one i believe should be weapon specific, or left up to the server admin. Maps shouldn't show player's position - its a paper map, not a GPS. If you wanna see your location, find a GPS. On a related note, i hate that map notes are view able by everyone else. If i make a mark on my map, i want to be the only one who can see it. Waypoints should be removed - I like the idea of GPS waypoints, but map waypoints are bullcrap. Death Messages - i would like to seem them kept. They may not be realistic, but i like to see who is dying. If i am playing on a server with a friend and i see he dies, i like to be able to give em shit for it. I wouldnt be too upset if they were removed either. Its pretty much an unnecessary convince.fa Should characters be able to switch between servers with different difficulty levels? - Yes and no. As the mod is right now i dont see an issue with it. Servers go on-line and offline all the time and i wouldnt want choice limited for what server i can get on. I would like to see some sort of normalization with the server difficulty. Maybe one standard difficulty across all servers with a few individual settings that can be customized. I think that would prevent a lot of the issues like people who farm easy servers and PK expert ones. I think it would also even out server load instead of having 6/50 on veteran servers and a constant 50/50 on regular.

For too long, my worry is not zombies within major cities, but snipers counter snipers who's only joy in the game is killing people snipers. Often they won't go for their loot which demonstrates how they only want to kill humans snipers for the fun of it - despite what many of them lose in gear. So I'm issuing a warning... wherever I am, in any server the snipers counter snipers in Cherno will be brought to justice. I will wait, and wait, and wait, and wait in darkness (or a gillie suit) and pursue you. I can't do it alone, but I hope to kill enough so they stop - at least on that server. If there are none, I will move server, and find you. If I kill you from long distance: again, I will wait. I will wait until you foolishly try to regain your gear and BANG you're dead again. When I reach the top of the roof and skilfully crawl up behind you, make no mistake about it - I WILL say in direct communication "Stick this up your arse you little prick!" before I blow your brains out. Snipers Counter snipers, I'm coming for you.

I agree with many of the people in this thread. People who bitch about hoarding are people too lazy to put any work in to finding a vehicle. The vehicle is still on the map, just not in the spawn point with a giant arrow pointing to it. All camps are eventually found, no matter how well they are hidden.

How come my vagina sometimes seems to make hardly audible zombie noises and eerie music. I LOL'd hard after re-reading and adding vagina, well done friend.

not crying, just figured it would be easier to make a single thread and get it out of my system. Sure as hell beats posting the same thing in multiple threads.

I am officially quitting replying to any more butthurt hyperbole posts about people quitting the game, or insane future predictions of catastrophic failure of the game based off of some minor issue that has been brought up a hundred times already today. I refuse to give these people any sort of attention what so ever any longer. If you want to quit playing, then quit. If this game is not for you, that's cool, ride off in to the sunset like a man. I am sick and tired of reading posts about people having little girl hissy fits over some minor thing that pissed em off. I got killed in a pvp game, I lost my gear because a tree ate me, that mean guy in Cherno said something mean and hurt my feelings. Boo freakin hoo, go tell your mom about it, because she might actually care. If you have an legit issue, bring it up like an adult or keep your damn mouth shut. Rocket has said he wants both positive and negative, but thats not an open invitation to act like a little kid who got their barbi doll taken away. We all know trees and tents eat people, its well known that there are hackers, yes people will kill you. People arn't nice, nothing is ever totally fair and if you want to play a game that is perfect in every single way, don't plan an alpha. This goes out to every person who ever decides to post another "i quit because of X", "DayZ will fail because of Y", or any other non-productive cry-baby drivel. I hear Hello Kitty's Adventure Island is a fun game, they even have rules that require that everyone is nice to everyone else. And thats all i have to say about that, DC

Here's the deal guys. Rare items are supposed to be rare, not just slightly more difficult to find. Currently there are waaaaaaaaaaaay more rare weapons floating around out there due to hackers, tent duping, server hopping etc. Items like the as50 will be seen very rarely once the tent issues are fully resolved, server hopping is limited (not made impossible, just made harder), and the hacker situation is dealt with. Right now you can easily kill any of thousands of players and get an as50, or loot one of hundreds of tents that probably have multiple as50s. Most of these are the product of duping and hacking. You think its hard to get gear now? LOL just you wait.

There is no reason anyone should walk for hours without a gun, they are everywhere.
